Chapter 4: Compromise

Hearing Xiao Mo's voice of refusing without hesitation, Xiao Baiqi, the patriarch of the Xiao family, whose face had always been gentle and kind, changed instantly.

He didn't expect that the young man in front of him was so ignorant of lifting, and he was unwilling to make some sacrifices for the sake of the family's great cause, although this sacrifice was to exchange his own life.

But in his mind, he had spent so much effort, promised so many benefits, and persuaded him for so long, how could he not be grateful and happily agree to go to the guilt?

How disregarded the overall situation must be, without any family honor and disgrace!

Therefore, in an instant, he revealed his true colors, looking at the young man in front of him with thin cloth and unruly eyebrows, he suddenly said coldly: "Xiao Mo, you have to think clearly, if you take the initiative to admit to killing, maybe the family will spend a lot of effort to protect you, and will even give you a Heavenly King Baoxin Pill in advance, just in case." In this way, even if you are tortured, there is still a good chance that you will come back alive. ”

"But if you insist on going your own way like this, regardless of the overall situation, the family will directly hand you over as a murderer, and when the time comes, you just want to come back alive, and there is no chance. ”

When Xiao Mo heard this, a monstrous anger instantly rose in his heart, and he said coldly: "Aren't you afraid that I will tell the truth to the Bai family, which will lead him to an all-out war with you?"

"Hey, hey!"

Xiao Baiqi sneered gloomily and said lightly: "The family has its own means, so that you can't speak, you can't lift your hands, you can't say a word, you can't write a word." ”

Speaking of this, he squinted at Xiao Mo and said coldly: "Do you think that when my Xiao family compensates the Bai family for a large amount of property, is the Bai family willing to let you defend yourself as a waste person and fight with my Xiao family, or would you rather admit this mistake and end it?"

Hearing this, Xiao Mo's heart was cold to the bottom in an instant.

He thought of the fact that there was an elixir in the world, called the Dumb Sound Pill, which could instantly make a monk unable to open his mouth and speak. There is also an elixir called the Soft Tendon Pill, which can make a monk soft in his hands and feet, and from then on become like a wasted person.

In addition, if the Xiao family is a little more ruthless, directly cutting off their tongues and breaking their hands and feet, they can also do this.

It's just that doing so will make the Bai family suspicious.

But even so, with the above two pills, if he was really sent to the Bai family as a sinner, he would not be able to please him.

In the end, it must be tortured by thousands, ten thousand*, and then directly beaten to death and sent to mass graves.

Staring at Xiao Baiqi's gloomy and cold eyes, it was clear that this place was as luxurious as a palace and as warm as early spring, but it made Xiao Mo feel a kind of heart-to-heart coldness.

That is to see through the essence of this family, selfish and ruthless, all selfish and cruel with interests first.

The so-called bloodline inheritance, the so-called heavenly principles and human ethics, in the face of interests, are not worth a penny, and you can give up without hesitation.

Xiao Mo finally realized that this place is different from the earth after all, this is a world where the strong are respected, black can be turned into white, and white can be turned into black.

If this is also the skill of mental cultivation, then Xiao Mo doesn't want to learn it!

But he knows that if he wants to survive and protect himself, he must learn his abilities. Someone else can do that, he can't, but he can use it to avoid all the possible risks.

Thinking of this, his mind raced, and he thought of a way to get out.

This family can no longer stay, if they stay here any longer, even if they can escape this catastrophe, there will always be another catastrophe waiting for them in the future. And since he has seen through the coldness of this place, Xiao Mo is not a member of the Xiao family, so he naturally has no nostalgia for it.

In the past, I was satisfied with just finding a cultivation place for convenience, and I didn't want to change it. But the times are pressing, and they have to change, and the words of the head of the Xiao family have forced Xiao Mo to the edge of the cliff where he has to leave.

It's just that at present, I can't let the other party see it, and once the other party sees it, there is basically no possibility for me to leave. The other party will immediately seize himself and implement the second plan, and at that time, he will only face the situation of certain death.

"Paralyze him first, and then find a way out!"

Thinking of this, Xiao Mo instantly had an idea, he pretended to be frightened by this, looked panicked, and hurriedly said: "Ah no, patriarch, don't cut off Xiao Mo's tongue and break your hands and feet, Xiao Mo is willing to take the initiative to bear the guilt, as long as the family can save me in the future, everything can be discussed!"

Seeing Xiao Mo's instantaneous panicked and ownerless appearance, Xiao Baiqi laughed silently.

After all, he is just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child, how many assertiveness and city government can he have, and as soon as he was frightened by himself, he immediately softened.

He did have murderous intentions just now, but if it can be resolved peacefully and let him confess his guilt, that would be the best.

Otherwise, the Bai family is not a fool, how could they really think that it was Xiao Mo who killed Bai Xinqiu.

Even if he has the guts, does he have the ability?

But what the Xiao family wants is an excuse to take the initiative to take the blame, no matter what the Bai family thinks in the future, this matter is a certainty, and Xiao Shenjian will be saved. The Bai family could no longer use Bai Xinqiu's death to force the Xiao family to hand over the Xiao Divine Sword.

Even if the Bai family retaliates afterwards, as long as Xiao Shenjian is protected within these three months, let him not go out, and wait for him to enter any of the four palaces of Lingzhou three months later, no matter how strong and unwilling the Bai family is, they will definitely not dare to do anything to the disciples of the four palaces.

Otherwise, once it is found out, the entire Bai family will be affected, and even the entire Bai family's hundreds of years of family business will be destroyed.

The Academy Palace is the most noble clan in this world, and the disciple of the Academy Palace, even if it is just a lowly ordinary disciple, is not something that any family dares to take lightly.

This is the prestige of the Academy, and it is also the reason why countless families and families in the world want to send their disciples to the Academy.

First, you can indeed learn more advanced things there, and secondly, because there, you will have the unimaginable authority and status of Xuanhe, and at the same time feed back to the family and make the family go to a higher level.

At the same time, this is also an important reason why all families take their qualified disciples as treasures and protect them at all costs.

Because only they are qualified to have the opportunity to join the Academy Palace, so as to become the family's umbrella in turn.

It's just that these people have never thought that excessive doting and protection have also bred their arrogance, and many scandals have been born that are obviously guilty but covered up. In the end, the family may not be able to prosper because of it, but it will certainly be implicated in it in the future.

Because those disciples, when they make a mistake once and will not be punished, they will only get bigger and bigger, and they will do things completely regardless of the consequences, and sooner or later they will make a basket that pierces the sky.

In a small place like Yangcheng, the family can protect them again and again, but in the outside world, it is the law of the jungle. At that time, what awaits them will be doomed.

However, at this time, Xiao Baiqi naturally couldn't see this, he only saw that he couldn't hand over one of the most talented disciples in the family and cut off the future and hope of the family.

Therefore, Xiao Mo is willing to go out to take the blame, that is the best.

When it comes to bailing out with a lot of money and rewarding you afterwards, it's all a joke.

When Xiao Mo dies, who will he bail and who will reward? These are naturally things that don't need to be paid attention to at all.

Therefore, seeing that Xiao Mo was soft, Xiao Baiqi also put on a warm face again, and said with a warm smile: "Oh, seeing that I was in a hurry just now, I said the wrong thing, don't take it to heart." That's just my momentary anger, you are the pillar of the family, the future patriarch, how can the family treat you like this?"

"You can figure it out and be willing to come out for Excalibur, that's the best. You can rest assured that the promise made to you by the family will come true. Can I not honor what Xiao Baiqi of the Sect of Hundred Weapons said? Since this is the case, then I will inform the Bai family, and tomorrow morning, I will come to the door to receive people!"

"Wait!"

Xiao Mo automatically filtered the so-called "pillars", "clan elders" and other words in his heart, and he shouted that he was ready to reply to Xiao Baiqi, the patriarch of the Bai family, and said lightly: "The patriarch doesn't have to be so troublesome, early tomorrow morning, Xiao Mo is willing to take the initiative to go to Baifu and confess his sins." It's just that the patriarch promised Xiao Mo the Heavenly King Baoxin Pill before, and asked the patriarch to give it to Xiao Mo first, in case the Bai family was tortured, and the family would not have time to rescue him. ”

At this, he paused, his eyes flashed, and he made another request of his own.

"In addition, Xiao Mo doesn't need future clan elders to be promoted to the Easy Realm and other resource rewards, as long as the patriarch promises Xiao Mo that he has the opportunity tonight, he will make an exception to enter the family's Hidden Heart Pavilion and watch the family collection once, that will be enough!"

"Huh?"

Xiao Baiqi, the patriarch of the Xiao family, couldn't help frowning slightly, obviously he didn't expect Xiao Mo to actually push away the various rewards he promised him and improve his status, but now he wants the Heavenly King Baoxin Pill and a chance to enter the family's secret hidden heart pavilion.

The Heavenly King Baoxin Pill is a three-grade pill, as long as you take it, you can save your breath if you are not fatally injured, it can be called a rare elixir, and there are not many in the entire Xiao family.

He didn't know that Xiao Mo at this time had already taken the initiative to leave the Xiao family and leave on his own, and thought that he was really afraid and compromised.

Although he was dissatisfied with Xiao Mo's lion, he thought that he took the initiative to agree to the other party, and the other party was a young boy who entered the Bai family to confess his guilt, and he must have been worried that he would die before he could wait for the Xiao family to rescue him.

Therefore, it was understandable for him to ask himself to advance the Heavenly King Baoxin Pill in advance, and because of this, he completely believed that Xiao Mo really took the initiative to go to the Bai family to confess his guilt, so he was relieved in his heart, considering that this matter was to save the life of a top disciple of the three generations of the family.

So, Xiao Baiqi, the patriarch of the Xiao family, nodded at Xiao Mo, and said lightly: "I can allow you to do this, and I will let someone send the Heavenly King Baoxin Pill to you in a while." It's just that you really don't need the position of the clan elder in the future, and the family's guarantee to supply you with all the resources that can advance to the Easy Realm, just in exchange for a chance to enter the family's Hidden Heart Pavilion?"

"Yes. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Mo replied again without hesitation.

"Okay!"

Although Xiao Baiqi was reluctant in his heart, because these were promises that he had not intended to fulfill, but now that Xiao Mo took the initiative, he could only agree.

Otherwise, it will arouse his suspicions, and he will have to fight to the death, but it will be troublesome.

Fortunately, as long as the three generations of disciples of the family Hidden Heart Pavilion have reached a certain level of cultivation, they will have the opportunity to enter, so if Xiao Mo is allowed to enter once, there is no loss, at most, he will only lose a Heavenly King Baoxin Pill that he didn't want to hand over.

Thinking of this, Xiao Baiqi frowned, and naturally agreed.

However, after all, he was the head of the clan, and he still had a certain amount of caution and suspicion, and felt that Xiao Mo had agreed too happily, so he turned his gaze and said again: "That virtuous nephew, I will let someone send you to the family Hidden Heart Pavilion now, as long as it is not a secret above the Qi Realm, you can watch it casually." ”

After thinking about it for a while, he said again: "In addition, I will send someone to guard you outside your door in a while, in case the Bai family robs people in advance, which is not good for you." Early tomorrow morning, I will send another carriage to send you over, and I also happen to negotiate with the Bai family, what do you think?"

"That's the guard......"

Xiao Mo sneered in his heart, he naturally understood Xiao Baiqi's words, but on the surface, he still replied without hesitation: "Thank you for the love of the patriarch, in this way, Xiao Mo will leave!"

He said the word "farewell" very strangely, and it revealed a sense of determination, but Xiao Baiqi didn't notice it and didn't understand it.

Although he intuitively felt that something was wrong, he still frowned, not worrying that a kid who had entered the fourfold realm could escape from the palm of his hand, not to mention, he also sent someone to guard it......

Therefore, after hearing Xiao Mo's words, he didn't hold back, waved his hand, and ordered him to leave.

At the same time, after Xiao Mo left, Xiao Baiqi immediately summoned the Xiao family deacon who was guarding outside the courtyard just now, and gave him a few words in his ear.

The deacon of the Xiao family nodded frequently, finally confirmed his understanding, and quickly followed Xiao Mo's footsteps.
