Before the mutation occurred, Xiao Zaili was talking to Xiao Qianqiu.

It's not so much a conversation, it's a one-sided plea - when he tried to prevent Xiao Qianqiu from asking Chang Yanshou for the crime, what he thought of was that once Chang Yanshou was really dealt with in accordance with the fairy rules, he couldn't explain to the Chang family and the He family, Chang Yanshou was not an ordinary child of the Chang family, he not only represented the Chang family in Qingzhou City led by the Xiao family, but also married the He family, it can be said that he was an agent of the Chang family in the Qingzhou political situation. The question of what the He family would think, and it is very likely that all the immortal cultivation families in Qingzhou will talk about whether the Xiao family is too domineering behind their backs! It is true that the strength of the Xiao family is extremely strong, and no family in the three states can compare with the Xiao family, but once they think that they are despised by the Xiao family and that the alliance with the Xiao family is worthless, it is no problem to control Qingzhou with the Xiao family's manpower alone, Yunzhou is reluctant, and Hengzhou is very likely to break away from the rule of the Xiao family! Chang Yanshou made a mistake, but his mistake was not worth the Xiao family's lesson at such a big price!

To his surprise, after he generously stated this reasoning, Xiao Qianqiu actually allowed him just when the courage that surged up because of the consequences gradually faded.

It's not appropriate to say accurately, so he just left and threw Chang Yanshou to him to deal with.

After Xiao Zaili comforted Chang Yanshou with gentle words, sent him to the annex, and asked his wife and Chang Yanshou's wife to take more care of him, he thought about how reckless his words were! He was indeed loyal to the Xiao family, and everything he thought and did was for the sake of the Xiao family, but his wife was also from the same clan as Chang Yanshou's wife, and they were very close cousins.

His grandfather Xiao Gongqiao is a true immortal does not mean that he himself is a true immortal, not to mention that Xiao Gongqiao is not his biological grandfather! His father was passed to Xiao Gongqiao as a son after Xiao Gongqiao's retreat, saying that it is a true fairy heir, in fact, it is just a real immortal guarding the door, Xiao Gongqiao is difficult to say whether he admits it, fortunately Xiao Gongqiao has not been out of retreat for a hundred years, and his husband and wife have given birth to a pair of twins with excellent fairy bones, seeing that the true fairy heir is solid, but Xiao Qianqiu, who single-handedly managed his father's succession, changed his mind......

Of course he knows that those who have less than four immortal bones can't say that they can't be cultivated into true immortals, but no one has seen them, it doesn't mean that the four immortal bones must be able to cultivate into true immortals, in fact, those who can't be cultivated like Xiao Xinglong and Xiao Ruge are the majority, Xiao Rushi doesn't become a true immortal one day, he still can't say that he has any real status in the Xiao family, Xiao Qianqiu is the real power of the Xiao family!

He disdained all of Xiao Ruge's truths and conspiracy theories, for the very simple reason that he didn't have the strength of a true immortal, and if he wanted to go against a true immortal, what result could he have except delay himself? As a high-ranking elder of the Xiao family, many things he knew, such as the torture in the Lixin Academy, if he told Xiao Ruge directly, he was afraid that he would scare her crazy! A little girl who could only say "open an ancestral hall and ask the whole clan to try the two true immortals" was not worth listening to— She felt that everyone should naturally stand on her side of justice, but how did she know that the Chang family and the He family, who were in the Five Elements and One Lineage, were all allied with the Xiao family because of some mutual constraints?

Therefore, he did not sleep all night, and waited for the plead before dawn.

"You confess to me?" Xiao Qianqiu was carrying a pot to water the golden chrysanthemum held under the bamboo fence, and Xiao Zaili followed behind him: "Yes, my nephew was confused for a while yesterday......

Xiao Qianqiu squinted his eyes and laughed: "You are still confused today-you really think you are guilty? I think you think you have merit." ”

"Don't dare!" Xiao Zaili couldn't have said more sincerely, he really thought so.

Xiao Qianqiu shook his head: "I'm not a casual person, you were confused yesterday, so you stopped me from asking for guilt, today you are not confused, are you going to arrest him on my behalf and ask for guilt?"

"This ......"

Xiao Qianqiu laughed slightly: "Not only do you not feel that you are confused, but you also feel that you have merit, I am not wrong in what I said!"

"Uh......"

"The Chang family, the He family, and the other families—that's all important, isn't it?After all, we can't do many things without their assistance, but, the premise is that they are assisting us, not the other way around—restraining us!" Xiao Qianqiu's hand steadily moved the watering can to water another blooming June orchid, and the words he said were far less elegant: "If Chang Yanshou is killed, they will be more useful." ”

Xiao Zaili shuddered when he heard it: "It may be the case in the short term, but after a long time, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will rebel, and the Du family and the Jing family are not without the intention of accepting people." ”

"If it's useful in the short term, you can do a lot of things. ”

"Ancestor, we always have to plan for the long term, not to mention, we don't have so many things to do in the short term. Xiao Zaili said very sincerely.

"Oh, do you really think there's nothing to do? What about the Cult of the Dead? What do you think?"

"The clan has already sent an elder with three deacons to visit, I think that the ghost country is far away from my mountains and rivers, and there are countless immortal families all the way, how much power can lurk over? The handling method is not bad at all.

"It's really possible. Xiao Qianqiu said.

Xiao Zaili choked suddenly, and said half-loudly: "Impossible! No ......" He suddenly thought that Xiao Qianqiu had just said that he was not a casual talker, and immediately stopped his questioning voice, but his back couldn't stop sweating, which was something he hadn't seen when he almost killed Xiao Xinglong the day before yesterday.

"The Yunxi faction, one of the Seven Great Immortal Sects, sends envoys to the Five Kingdoms of my moon and night every five hundred years, selecting outstanding disciples to visit Yunxi, and those who are outstanding can get started, you know—now, thirty years have passed since the day they should have come. ”

In Xiao Zaili's gasping voice, Xiao Qianqiu lightly threw out a sentence: "What happened on Yuexi Mountain? ”

Xiao Zaili struggled to say something, but couldn't pronounce any syllables, Xiao Qianqiu glanced at him meaningfully: "Our time is not as much as you think." ”
