The day is noon.

Shaw House.

Full of friends.

The people who are qualified to appear in the Xiao Mansion today are all great nobles at the top of the power circle in the capital, and all of them are people of noble status.

Even the princes and daughters were in attendance.

Representatives of the other nine of the top ten families in the capital also appeared, and more than one.

The talkers of the seventh room of the Xiao family, except for the old lady Xiao Yan, everyone else has also appeared, and they each entertained the distinguished guests.

Especially Xiao Yi, Xiao Yuan and others, they were even more smiling, and there was anticipation and excitement in the depths of their eyes.

"Left-sama has arrived. ”

With Xiao Fumenying's loud singing, everyone's eyes looked in the direction of the gate.

Unexpectedly, even Lord Zuo Xiang came?

This was a surprise.

You must know that Zuo Xiang rarely participates in this kind of family affairs.

"Haha, I didn't expect Lord Zuo Xiang to come. There is a long way to go. ”

Xiao Yi and Xiao Yuan both took the initiative to greet them with smiles on their faces.

Zuo Xiangzuo Luyi just nodded lightly, and did not have the intention of talking to these two people, and asked directly: "Where is Old Lady Xiao?"

Xiao Yi's faces were slightly suffocated.

"The old man is in the backyard, and he may not have slept well last night, so he is not in a good state today, and he will come out in a while. ”

Xiao Yi still smiled.

"I'll go see the old man. ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Xiao Yi and the two to say anything, and walked directly towards the backyard of Xiao Mansion.

He was followed by two guards.

From Zuo Xiang's entry into the door to his disappearance in the backyard, the whole process was watched by everyone, and for a while, the eyes of the other nobles looking at Xiao Yi and Xiao Yuan were a little playful.

The hour is near.

The atmosphere in the air is getting more and more tense.

Suddenly, there was a commotion at the gate of the Xiao Mansion.

Immediately afterwards, a member of the Xiao Mansion rushed in and said, "Family master, everyone in charge, hurry, hurry, there is a big man here, go out to meet ......"

The voice did not fall.

"No need to greet it. ”

A majestic and domineering voice instantly sounded in everyone's ears.

Then everyone was dazzled.

I saw that two figures had already arrived in the courtyard.

When they saw the faces of these two people clearly, the nobles, bigwigs, and giants present suddenly exclaimed, and many of them changed their faces and looked extremely shocked.

Because the two people who arrived were [God War Celestial] Ji Wushuang and [Halberd Celestial] Lu Xin.

No one thought that the two high-ranking envoys of the Central Empire Alliance would appear on such an occasion.

Is this here to support the Xiao family?

That's not right.

The relationship between the Xiao Mansion and these two envoys does not seem to be very friendly.

"See the two messengers. ”

Zheng Qian, the head of the Zheng family, and Liu Xiong, the head of the Liu family, came up to say hello as soon as possible.

"Hmm. ”

Ji Wushuang nodded.

"You didn't disturb the Lord's house, did you?"

He looked at Xiao Yi and Xiao Yuan, and said with a faint smile.

"If the two envoys can come, my Xiao family will shine. ”

Xiao Yi and Xiao Yuan glanced at each other, the excitement and excitement in their hearts were almost bursting, and they complimented each other in unison.

Ji Wushuang and the two were immediately arranged in the upper seat.

Everyone who saw this scene couldn't help but think about it in their hearts.

What do you mean?

Looking at it like this, these two people from the Central Empire Alliance mission who spoke to the Xiao family's branch looked quite important.

The bigwigs sitting here are all foxes who have been enlightened for many years, and they smelled a different smell at once.

Many people subconsciously have a premonition that today's Xiao Mansion family master will succeed to the main hall, but I am afraid that there will be some waves.

After that, people came one after another.

Some people, even those who didn't receive the invitation, tried their best to sneak in, hoping to meet some top elites.

Finally, it's time for the ceremony.

Xiao Yan, the old lady of Xiao Mansion, dressed in casual clothes, appeared in everyone's sight.

"Huh, what's going on?"

"Old lady Xiao is dressed very casually......"

"It doesn't look like he's happy. ”

"I don't look good. ”

"On such a grand occasion and so many heavyweight guests, it should be dressed up, right?

When the guests saw this scene, they couldn't help but talk about it.

Under the gaze of one after another, the old lady Xiao Yan, with an expressionless face, slowly walked onto the ceremonial platform that had been set up a long time ago.

"Thank you for your face appreciation and coming to the succession ceremony of the new head of my Xiao family. ”

An old man with hair like snow, with a burly figure.

He stood on the ceremonial platform, looked around the week, hugged his fists and saluted, his tone was calm, no longer the majestic aura of a lion on weekdays, but more like an ordinary old man in the twilight.

"Today, the old man will officially step down as the head of the family and pass on the position of the head of the family to ......"

Speaking of this, the old man's tone paused, gritted his teeth and continued: "The position of the head of the family is passed on to Xiao Shi, a rookie of the younger generation of the Xiao family...... When I'm done, please take care of yourself. ”

The voice did not fall.

The compound was filled with exclamations and discussions.

It was as if it were a boulder that had smashed into the calm water.

This announcement can be said to have been unexpected by all the guests.

What's the situation?

Didn't you say before that the new head of the family was Xiao Ye?

Why did it suddenly become Xiao Yan?

Xiao Shi is also a little well-known in the capital, and many people know that he is the eldest grandson of the second room of the Xiao family, but he has not yet reached the level of being able to take over the Xiao family, right?

What's going on?

The change was too sudden.

Countless incomprehensible eyes looked at the old lady Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yanduo didn't say a word, and walked directly to the stage.

"Wait. ”

Xiao Yi stood up slowly, with a smug expression, and reminded meaningfully: "Old lady, please stay, have you forgotten? ”

"Good. ”

The old lady Xiao Yan nodded.

Soon, under the gaze of countless eyes, Xiao Yan, dressed in a luxurious purple robe, walked onto the stage.

A twenty-two-year-old young man, with a fair face, can be regarded as handsome, but unfortunately his temperament is a little gloomy, and at first glance he knows that he is a ruthless character who is not easy to get along with.

Xiao Xianzhi was full of pride, and his face was full of red light.

He first hugged his fists to thank the guests, and then came to the old lady Xiao Yan, and received the seal letter of the head of the family from his hand, as well as the [Xiao's Graphite Sword], which symbolized the rights of the head of the family.

Then, he bowed his head and accepted the crown.

The so-called crown is a hair crown that asks the elders to straighten the top.

Just a symbolic action.

But it is also an important part of the succession ceremony of the head of the family.

Xiao Yan was expressionless, and raised his hand to crown this twenty-two-year-old young man.

"Hehe, old immortal. ”

Xiao Shi lowered his head, with respect and a smile on his face, but he whispered in the dark, and said, "I didn't expect it, didn't you always look down on me before? ”

In Xiao Yan's eyes under her snow-colored eyebrows, a glint flashed, but it immediately dimmed like a spark and disappeared.

The crown ends.

Xiao Yan walked towards the bottom of the ceremony.

The new head of the family, Xiao Shi, suddenly spoke, and said lightly: "Old lady, please stay, hehe, today I am the head of the Xiao family, I feel very honored, and I also know that the responsibility is great, it just so happened that I personally captured a rebellion of the Xiao family yesterday, and today I happened to use his blood to sacrifice the totem banner of the Xiao family, hehe, come on, put the rebellion of the Xiao family that deserves death, press it on me......"

Immediately, there was a henchman in the second room, who dragged out of the backyard with a big tie of flowers.

The crowd looked fixedly.

The person who was tied up was Xiao Ye.
