Chapter 220: Choice or Not

After Xiao Bo and the others left Lingguan City, they immediately rushed back to Xiaojia Villa. And when Xiao Bo and the others reported the situation to Xiao Juxian, it was already dark......

Today's night is still as quiet as usual, but the windless night has a little more sense of solemnity hidden under the silence......

In the main hall of Xiaojia Villa, the candlelight was still reflecting the entire house, and Xiao Bo, Xiao Qi and Xiao Zhu were explaining today's situation to their masters. And Xiao Tian stood alone outside the door of the main hall and listened quietly, after all, today's task, his master Xiao Juxian did not focus on arranging himself.

Xiao Tian leaned against the wall at the entrance of the hall alone, with his hands between them, wrapped in his plum blossom sword in the middle, his eyes looked at the night scene in the distance of the gate without moving, but his mind followed the conversation in the hall......

"That's the situation, Master......" Xiao Bo stood opposite Xiao Juxian, and said with a hesitant face, "Now that Senior Sister Xuecui is still in their hands, Xiao Wuzhong asks Master to pass on the location of Xiao's Villa to him, and give him an answer tomorrow......"

Xiao Juxian didn't answer immediately, just quietly looked at the candlelight on the table, but he was extremely hesitant in his heart.

"Master, Xiao Wuzhong is threatening you, threatening the entire Xiao Family Villa, you must not give him the position of the head of the family-" Xiao Zhu said loudly, "Xiao Wuzhong betrayed the master and took refuge in the Mengyuan Imperial Court, such behavior is not tolerated." If he becomes the head of the Xiao Family Villa, the entire Xiao family will be destroyed by him, and the Xiao family will also be notorious above the Central Plains martial arts-"

"But if you don't agree to him, Xue Cui will also be in danger......," Xiao Juxian replied quietly.

"Senior Sister Xuecui, she. It's also ......" Xiao Zhu also thought of Xuecui's safety at this time, so he slowly lowered his head, not knowing what to say.

"Senior Sister Xuecui, we must not sit idly by. But you can't lightly hand over the position of the head of Xiao Family Villa to Xiao Wuzhong!" Xiao Qi also stepped forward and said, "Can't there be a way to measure this?"

"There aren't many things in the world that have the best of both worlds, and if there are disadvantages, you have to give up one of them......" Xiao Wuzhong said slowly, as if he had something in his heart, and then said to Xiao Bo, "Abo." Did you get it back for the token 'Bai Ling Fengjin'?"

"Get it back, Master. Xiao Bo replied, and took out the "White Spirit Fengjin" that he retrieved from Lingguan City today—the only harvest of today's mission.

Xiao Juxian said again: "Abo." Give me the 'White Spirit Wind Spirit' ......"

Xiao Qi was puzzled by why the master was still concerned about the tokens in the gang, so he hurriedly said: "Master, it's all this time, you are still concerned about the tokens in the gang......"

Xiao Juxian was unhurried. Xiao Bo also listened to his master's words. handed the "White Spirit Fengjin" to Xiao Juxian.

Xiao Juxian took the "Bai Ling Feng Jin", then turned around, reflected it in front of the candlelight of the spirit desk for a while, and then hung it on the platform above the spirit case—that was where the "Bai Ling Feng Jin" had been placed when he was in the villa.

Everyone still didn't know what their master Xiao Juxian wanted to do, and Xiao Zhu couldn't help but ask, "Master, what do you want to do?"

After Xiao Juxian put the "White Spirit Fengjin", he did not turn around immediately. Instead, he asked slowly: "For the teacher to ask you, do you still remember the ancestral teachings of the gang rules?"

"Remember......" "Of course I do—" the three replied.

Xiao Juxian looked at the spiritual case in front of the stage with two eyes. And looked up at the "Bai Ling Fengjin" in the stands, and then said slowly: "The rules set by the predecessors to govern the world for people, just like the token 'Bai Ling Fengjin' in this gang, will always be the unchanging symbol of Xiaojia Villa. The ancestral motto said, 'Forming a gang and starting a business is nothing more than an adult ruling the world.' However, it is not at all about glorifying the ancestors, but about seeking peace for the common people and settling the hearts of the people'. The development of Xiaojia Villa in the Central Plains martial arts is important, but it is not the foundation of governance and education. The foundation of the ancestral training of the gang rules for the disciples of the Xiao family in the past generations is to educate the hearts of the people and soothe the world, even if the Xiao family villa finally decays into a cold sky and snow, if it can warm the world, it will not regret this life——"

Xiao Qi and Xiao Zhu listened to Master's words and quietly didn't say anything.

"Master......" Xiao Bo also seemed to understand his master's feelings, and also looked at his master with expectant eyes.

Xiao Juxian slowly turned around this time, and then with a kind smile, he continued: "The ancestors of the Xiao family educated their descendants to dedicate themselves to the world, but Xiao Wuzhong's desire was the opposite, only thinking about the 'Everbright' family, but it went against the way of the world...... Of course, the Xiao family's teacher pays attention to educating people with righteousness, and Xiao Wuzhong will become what he is today, which is also related to the way of educating teachers, and there are faults of teachers in it......"

When Xiao Juxian said this, Xiao Tian, who was listening quietly by the wall outside the door, had a deep understanding, because he, like Xiao Wuzhong, was a disciple of the master who had the same will. But the two have different ways of education, so there are completely different lives of Xiao Tian and Xiao Wuzhong, and among them, which is right and wrong, it is actually very clear......

Xiao Juxian in the hall did not stop and continued: "Now Xiao Wuzhong's threat to hand over the position of head of the sect for the master is nothing more than his selfish desires and insatiable ambitions. Xue Cui's life is still in Xiao Wuzhong's hands, if she can't be rescued, as the head of the Xiao family, how can she educate future generations with the way of ancestral teaching? The position of the head of the family is just a false name, no matter whether the Xiao family villa succeeds or fails or not, and the safety can last forever, the position of the head of the family is only a famous position, and it will be replaced from generation to generation; what has really been handed down is the way of educating people. If he Xiao Wuzhong wants this position of false name, give it to him, if he can't rescue Xuecui, then it is against the principles of the ancestors......" Xiao Juxian's voice was not loud, and it was kind, but his tone was firm.

"Then Master, what do you mean......" Xiao Bo felt that the result was obvious, and he also knew what kind of choice Master would make.

Xiao Juxian smiled and nodded, and then said softly: "I will sue Xiao Wuzhong tomorrow, I am willing to pass on the position of this head to him, provided that Xuecui's safety is guaranteed." ”

"Master......" Xiao Qi and Xiao Zhu also sighed on the side, although they knew that Master's choice was correct. But I also regret it in my heart.

"But is that really the end of the matter?" Xiao Bo also said a little unwillingly on the side, "There must be a way, there must be a way to rescue Xue Cui safely." and can keep Xiaojia Villa from falling into Xiao Wuzhong's hands, there will definitely be ......"

"If there really is, then it can only depend on the destiny of heaven......" Xiao Juxian looked at Xiao Bo with some rare excitement, so he said slowly, "Abo, the destiny of heaven cannot be forced, go against your heart." It didn't work out......"

Xiao Bo had both sadness and resentment in his heart, but there really was nothing he could do. Now Xiao Wuzhong has taken refuge in the Mengyuan court. With the protection of the Mongols, and also holding Xue Cui hostage, the disciples of the Xiao family couldn't touch Xiao Wuzhong at all. Xiao Wuzhong did all the evil things, and in the end, he had to make inches. Whoever has a righteous heart. It is natural to be indignant in your heart.

"Okay, the matter will be decided for the time being......" Xiao Juxian turned to the spiritual case in front of the hall again, and continued, "Tomorrow the worship day will be held in the main hall, and as soon as the worship day is over, Abo, you will send someone to carry a message, saying that I am willing to give him the position of head of the house, and let him let Xue Cui ......"

Xiao Bo and the others stood behind Xiao Juxian. In fact, I know the pain in my master's heart. Xiao Wuzhong used to be a disciple cultivated by his master, but now he has turned against him. Although Xiao Juxian just said so many rules and ancestral teachings, Xiao Bo and others also know very well that in a sense, Xiao Juxian is also atoning for his failure to educate people.

Thinking of this, Xiao Bo and the others looked at the master's back, and their eyes also showed dark sadness......

And Xiao Tian, who was outside the door, listened to all the conversations inside, and some of them were not just sad. What's more, Xiao Tian's anger at Xiao Wuzhong for committing a qiē crime.

Thinking of Xiao Wuzhong's words and deeds today, as well as his shameless behavior of holding Xue Cui hostage and threatening his master, Xiao Tian was angry in his heart.

Xiao Tian seemed to want to do something, he was leaning against the wall, he instantly stood up straight, and then carried the plum blossom sword in his hand and walked towards the center of the courtyard of the villa.

Xiao Tian walked to the center of the courtyard and held the plum blossom sword in his hand in front of him. Xiao Tian slowly pulled out the plum blossom sword, and the cold moonlight shone on the blade of the exquisite plum blossom sword, flashing a cold light.

Xiao Tian's eyes gathered, and then he quickly pulled out the plum blossom sword, only to hear a crisp sound of the edge coming out of the sheath, and a sword qi that came out with the blade of the sword moved out, inciting the flowers and leaves in the front row.

Xiao Tian paused, then grasped the hilt of the plum blossom sword in his right hand, and swung it from top to bottom, accompanied by a golden sword aura. I only heard a deafening dragon roar suddenly heard in the silent night - the first type of the Nine Transformation Sword Technique of the Divine Dragon "Jiaolong Out of the Sea", the sword qi turned into a giant dragon, shaking the mountains and rivers and rising from the ground, with an incomparably majestic momentum, shocking the surrounding qiē.

It was not over, Xiao Tian seemed to have the anger in his heart that he wanted to vent, he got up and tossed, and then rotated with his sword, and the dragon sword qi also rotated together - the fifth type of the dragon nine transformations "Dragon Turning the River" was killed with the dragon array, and several sword qi hovered around Xiao Tian's body, turning into several giant dragons, constantly rotating, as if churning the rivers and mountains, and every dragon swept by, accompanied by the roar of the dragon that shocked the heavens and the earth.

Xiao Tian in mid-air made the last breath, holding the plum blossom sword, and then dived vertically downward, all the sword qi condensed in the sword edge, and it was a blow to the ground, and a concentrated dragon roar was about to rise - the sixth type of the dragon nine changes "Qinglong Shenwei", wanting to turn the world down, the dragon with the dragon's anger, poured down, and finally formed a dragon hovering barrier at the landing site, surrounding Xiao Tian.

After Xiao Tian finished casting three divine dragon nine transformation sword techniques in a row, he landed smoothly on the ground. However, he himself was not very calm, the whole person gasped slightly, his eyes were also full of grief and indignation, and he looked motionlessly at the ground where a stone pit was punched by his swordsmanship, thinking in his heart......

At this moment, a cyan sword light suddenly came from Xiao Tian's side. Xiao Tian sensed it, and without thinking about it, he returned his sword, and Long Xiao rose again, and the powerful sword qi directly bounced away the flying sword light.

But it wasn't over yet, and immediately after, from the direction of the entrance of the main hall, another cyan sword light flew in, and the target came straight towards Xiao Tianmian's door. Xiao Tian saw it this time, got up and the sword light reappeared, and the dragon roar sounded out - the third type of the Divine Dragon Nine Transformations "Flying Dragon in the Sky" was killed, and the extremely impactful dragon sword qi was hard connected with the cyan sword light flying from the opposite side, although the internal force seemed to be stronger than the cyan sword light, but the cyan sword light seemed to have a kind of feminine internal force that overcame rigidity with softness, and gradually consumed Xiao Tian's dragon sword qi a little bit. The endless cyan sword light gradually disintegrated the sword qi of the "Flying Dragon in the Sky", and the last few cyan light swords suddenly accelerated their impact and flew directly towards Xiao Tian, who had no sword qi barrier.

Xiao Tian's eyes were certain, and he turned over in mid-air, directly dodging the last few sword lights, and then landed smoothly on the ground.

Standing at the door of the main hall on the opposite side was none other than Xiao Bo. Xiao Tian didn't know what Xiao Bo wanted to do when he came out at this time, and looked at Xiao Bo with puzzled eyes.

"It is worthy of the Divine Dragon Nine Transformation Sword Technique, and the 'First Sword Technique in the Rivers and Lakes' really lives up to its name-" Xiao Bo said with a slight smile, "I have always said that I want to compete with Ah Tian and your Divine Dragon Nine Transformation Sword Technique, but I have never had a chance, today is the first time to face ......" Xiao Bo said, slowly walking down the stairs and walking in the direction of Xiao Tian.

And Xiao Tian didn't seem to be in a very happy mood, and he didn't pay attention to the details of the competition just now. When Xiao Bo walked to his side, Xiao Tian asked softly, "What, Brother Xiao Bo, you, Ah Qi and Ah Zhu have all told Master about the matter?"

"Didn't you hear it all outside the door just now?" Xiao Bo knew that Xiao Tian was "eavesdropping" outside the door just now, and said directly, "What, you're in a bad mood, practicing swords here alone so late?"

Xiao Tian didn't smile, he lowered his head and thought about it, and then asked, "Master, ...... Could it be that the master really wants to give the position of head to Xiao Wuzhong, that bastard?"

"In order to save Xuecui, and for the other disciples of the Xiao Family Villa not to be implicated, the master can only do this......" Xiao Bo said lightly with a wry smile, "Just like what the master just said, the purpose of the Xiao family's governance of the Xiao Family Villa is not to glorify the ancestors, but to rule the ......world as adults."

"I'm not worried about this, I also understand that rescuing Xue Cui and not getting involved with other Xiao family disciples is more ......important than the matter of the mountain villa," Xiao Tian first lowered his head and continued, then raised his head, and said in a louder voice, "I'm just resentful, resentful that Xiao Wuzhong did so many evil things, but didn't get the end he deserved, but let him get an inch-" Speaking of this, Xiao Tian's feelings gradually became a little excited.

"I know Ah Tian, your heart is very chaotic, but Master also said that Xiao Wuzhong has become what he is today, and it has something to do with Master's own education...... Xiao Bo continued, "Master said that it was his connivance that made Xiao Wuzhong so wolf-like, and tomorrow's decision may also be his own atonement......"

"No, no, this shouldn't be Master's atonement!" Xiao Tian suddenly said very firmly, "Master's atonement should have educated me as well, didn't it?" Master has been hiding the truth, he promised my father's last wish to educate me strictly...... It is precisely because of the example of Xiao Wuzhong who ran away from the master's sect that in the same aspect of educating me, the master has already understood his original mistakes, and treated me and disciplined me in another way, so that he ruthlessly drove me out of the villa. Since Master has the heart to atone for his sins and achieved a different me from Xiao Wuzhong, then I should take responsibility and have a fate with Xiao Wuzhong, and end the knot in Master's heart for many years, isn't it?"

After listening to what Xiao Tian said, Xiao Bo couldn't help but feel that Xiao Tian, who knew the truth, was the disciple who really understood the mind of Master Xiao Juxian.

"These truths...... Miss Su told you later, didn't you......" Xiao Bo retracted his smile and said lightly.

Xiao Tian nodded and responded softly: "On the day when Jia'er and Master competed, Master sued Sù Jia'er in the 'Agarwood Courtyard', and then Jia'er sued me again...... Wait, Jia'er, why didn't you see her when you came back?"

Speaking of which, Xiao Tian found that after coming back today, he didn't find Su Jia until the evening.

"Really, Miss Su seems to be missing again...... Xiao Bo also said softly.

"Jia'er is missing again at this time, where did she go, did you venture to Lingguan City again, but we didn't see her either......" Xiao Tian saw that Su Jia was missing again, and his heart was very anxious......

Su Jia once again carried everyone on her back, and stayed quietly in Lingguan City by herself. What everyone didn't expect was that what Su Jia was about to do would be very likely to help Xiao Family Villa reverse the adventure plan of a qiē form...... (To be continued......)
