Chapter 31 The second child of the Xiao family
Xiao Zhan said curiously: "How are the people who participate in the deserted road generally cultivate?"
Xiao Sheng said indifferently: "At the very least, you must reach the peak of the Xuanshen Realm, and martial artists like the half-step Origin Realm are everywhere, even if you encounter the Origin Realm, it is not an incredible thing." ”
After Xiao Sheng said this, he didn't pay attention to Xiao Zhan, and seemed to devote himself to striking iron.
As soon as Xiao Zhan left the workshop, he heard that Xiao Wu was coming, this kid appeared so soon, and there was a turn for the worse in the Demon Hunting Forest, which made him very confused.
"Brother Xiao. ”
Xiao Qiqing was chatting with Xiao Wu, and smiled sweetly the moment she saw Xiao Zhan.
"You kid came over so soon, is there an update on the matter of the Demon Hunting Forest? ”
Xiao Zhan gave Xiao Qiqing a smile.
Xiao Wu couldn't wait to say: "Big brother definitely can't imagine the development of things. ”
Before Xiao Zhan could answer, Xiao Qiqing on the side hurriedly said: "Things are really unexpected, in the face of the Xiao family's aggressiveness, the Wu family did not make any resistance, and directly transferred a large mine close to the Xiao family's territory. ”
Xiao Zhan showed a look of surprise on his face when he heard this, and the news of the minerals that he had followed his father all the year round was naturally clearer than ordinary people, and what was the value of the mine that the Wu family transferred.
"Did the Wu family really transfer that mine to our Xiao family?"
Xiao Wu looked at Xiao Qiqing with a wry smile, he didn't have a chance to hang Xiao Zhan's appetite, so he couldn't help nodding and said: "The Wu family simply transferred this mine to the Xiao family, but it was specified that the object of the transfer was the eldest brother, and they definitely didn't have a good heart in doing so, and the younger brother was worried that the head of the family would not hand over this mine to the eldest brother." At that time, if the eldest brother wanted to get this mine, he was afraid that he would have to turn against the head of the family directly. ”
Xiao Zhan's brows furrowed, he didn't care if he could get that mine, what really puzzled him was that the Wu family's reaction was completely unreasonable, even if they knew that they were at a loss, they shouldn't throw such a huge bait at once, which showed that they were eager to settle this matter.
Just because he was afraid of the Xiao family's revenge?
Xiao Zhan felt that the real purpose of the Wu family might be to see the Xiao family fall into civil strife, and only by resolving the grievances between the two families as quickly as possible would everyone in the Xiao family turn their attention to Xiao Yiwu. Xiao Zhan knew that if he went to fight for the ownership of the mine now, he would fall into endless trouble, and he didn't have the strength to defend it at all, whether he wanted to take it back, everything had to be done after asking his father.
"Can the House of Elders deprive Xiao Yiwu of his status as a young master?"
"Hey, I heard that the House of Elders has directly deprived Xiao Yiwu of his status as a young master, and now he is planning to select a new young master, as long as the eldest brother participates, this matter is basically a certainty. ”
Xiao Zhan was stunned, this news really surprised him, the House of Elders was controlled by Xiao Yiwu, if they intended to protect it, it was really difficult to say whether they could pull Xiao Yiwu off the horse.
"What do you mean, head of the house?"
Xiao Wu shook his head and sighed: "The head of the family nodded directly and agreed, which was beyond everyone's expectations. ”
Xiao Zhan sneered: "They don't think that Xiao Yiwu is not a young master, and what happened in the Demon Hunting Forest can be revealed, right?"
Xiao Wu smiled bitterly: "The House of Elders ordered Xiao Yiwu to retreat and think about it, and he can't come out for a year, they are really wishful thinking, and when the barren road opens after a year, this kid will go out again, and at that time, as long as he can get the quota to enter the Heavenly Academy, all the mistakes he made before can be written off." ”
"Can Uncle Eight agree to this?"
"Of course I can't agree, the eighth uncle turned his face on the spot, but unfortunately he was directly suppressed by the great elder, and now he is locked up in the inner hall of the Xiao family, and it is difficult to say when he will be able to come out. ”
Xiao Zhan raised his eyebrows, directly arrested the most powerful opponents, and coerced and lured others, maybe this matter could be suppressed.
"The fifth master is the biological father of the eighth uncle, his old man is notoriously hot-tempered, and now someone not only kills his two grandsons, but also locks up his son, if he comes back, I am afraid that this matter will not be good. ”
Xiao Wu frowned and said, "The fifth grandfather entered the desert, and when his old man came back, I am afraid that it will be too late." ”
"Yes, if you wait for Xiao Yiwu to enter the imperial courtyard after a year, it will indeed be too late. ”
Xiao Zhan shook his head secretly, and his strong intuition told him that the fifth master was likely to come back soon, but he was not interested in the civil strife in the Xiao family, but continued: "How to distribute the qualifications for the desert road?"
"I heard that there will be a big competition among all the survivors who participated in the Demon Hunting Forest Trial, and the time will be about three months later, and the top eight will get a place to participate in the deserted road. The eldest brother can defeat Xiao Yiwu, and the eight places will definitely be able to occupy one point, but it's a pity, the younger brother is afraid that he won't be able to participate. ”
Xiao Wu was a little depressed, his strength was still too weak, even if he was qualified to participate in the deserted road, he was afraid that he would die a miserable death, so it was better not to join in the fun.
A smile appeared on Xiao Zhan's face, if it was in the form of a big competition, he was absolutely sure that he would be able to get a place.
......
"Dad, is this the Xiao family's mansion?"
Xiao Rufeng looked at the imposing gate of the Xiao family, and the whole person looked very excited.
Xiao Yuan was dressed in a green robe, his eyes fell on the gate of the Xiao family, the look in his eyes was a little complicated, the past was like smoke, he didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to set foot in the Xiao family again, which made his mood immersed in the memories of the past for a while. Hearing Xiao Rufeng's words, Xiao Yuan reined in his heart and said: "This is the Xiao family's main house, which has a history of almost two thousand years since it was built. ”
Xiao Rufeng's eyes shone excitedly and said: "Dad, you can rest assured, one day in the future, the child will definitely join the Xiao family and become the real head of the family." ”
Xiao Yuan smiled slightly: "It's not easy for you to do this, your third uncle's vein can now be said to cover the sky in the Xiao family, otherwise a straw bag like Xiao Yiwu would not be able to become the young master of the Xiao family at all." ”
Xiao Rufeng said disappreciably: "The situation is different now, Xiao Yiwu let go of such a big mistake, I heard that he has been deprived of the status of the young master by the Elders' Council, is there anyone else in their vein who has this qualification?"
Xiao Yuan said indifferently: "It's useless to talk too much now, let's take a look at how these people in power of the Xiao family will react when they know that I come back." ”
The two fathers and sons didn't want to hide their identities at all, and they broke out directly to the doorman, and soon the news reached Xiao Mou's ears, only to make him stand up in shock.
"You said the second brother is back?"
Xiao Mou's face changed several times, the position of the head of the Xiao family should have belonged to the second brother, because of something, the second brother left the Xiao family, which made him take the opportunity to become the head of the Xiao family, and now that the second brother is back, it is a variable for him.
