Chapter 106: The Great Way, All Beings, and Eternity (4)
Xiao Dingtao saw that it was Xiao Yan, a touch of jealousy flashed in his eyes, he knew very well that Xiao Yan was something he couldn't afford to provoke, Xiao Yan didn't even care about his grandfather Xiao Chaogui, let alone him, but at this time, he couldn't let him soften, and snorted coldly: "Is this how the new head of the family treats the elders in the clan?"
He is a Dingzi generation, the same generation as Xiao Dingkun, and he can be regarded as Xiao Yan's elder, there is nothing wrong with what he said.
"As the head of the family, I command you to answer my questions. Xiao Yan ignored his words and emphasized again.
"Hmph!" Xiao Chaogui snorted coldly, "Is it the head of the family, you have to worship the ancestors and ancestors, now that the Xiao family ancestral hall has been destroyed by a beast, I want to see when the person who claims to be the head of the family will rebuild the ancestral hall, when will he worship the ancestors and the ancestors, if you can't even do this, don't think about being the head of the family!"
He couldn't see his grandson being slapped in the face in public, which was tantamount to slapping his old face.
Of course, there are more things implied in his words, rebuilding the ancestral hall is a major event, without the nod of these noble elders, it is impossible to cultivate, and in the process of rebuilding the ancestral hall, the elders will definitely play an important role, which is equivalent to weakening Xiao Yan's power as the head of the family, making his name untrue.
Xiao Yan ignored Xiao Chaogui, glanced at Xiao Dingtao, who was a little proud and closed his mouth and didn't answer, and said lightly: "Give you five seconds, if you can't answer, you will be dealt with according to the family rules." ”
Xiao Chao suddenly came to his senses and began to count down: "Five-four-three-two-"
Xiao Dingtao had the support of the old man, he didn't take Xiao Yan in his eyes, and sneered.
After Xiao Chao counted five seconds, Xiao Dingtao laughed and said: "My grandfather said that the head of the family must be recognized after the ancestral hall sacrifices to the ancestors and ancestors, and now that the Xiao family has no family master, I see who dares to condemn me!"
"Xiao Chao, what should I do according to the family rules?" Xiao Yan asked calmly.

"Fifty rods, a fine of half a year. Although Xiao Chao is a martial arts talent, he has a very smart mind and an excellent memory, so he answered it without thinking.
"Then it's up to you to do it. Xiao Yan's tone was aggravated, not angry and arrogant.
As he spoke, he exuded a monstrous majesty, which silenced everyone around him. Xiao Chaogui, who still wanted to ridicule him a few words, took a few steps back, sat on the chair with a weak old face, and couldn't say a word. The other elders were no better, and their faces changed drastically.
Ivy and little Amy are safe and sound, don't say that Xiao Yan deliberately avoided the two of them, even if she didn't avoid them, Ivy had the ability to protect her daughter and prevent her from being affected a little bit.
"Grandpa-save me-" Xiao Dingtao saw that the situation was not right, and his face was as frightened as dirt, even if he was fined, he would have to shed his skin if he was beaten with fifty rods.
Xiao Dingtao was so frightened that he opened his mouth to beg for mercy, but Xiao Chaogui himself hadn't recovered his breath, he clutched his chest and gasped, and it was hard to say whether he heard his grandson's words or not.
Xiao Chaoli glanced at Xiao Yan deeply, got up and said: "Family master, in my opinion, you have just taken office, it is not appropriate to see blood, for my sake, give Xiao Dingtao a chance." ”
He claims to be the head of the family, which is equivalent to recognizing Xiao Yan's identity in public, and it can be regarded as supporting Xiao Yan. If Xiao Chaogui was sober, he would definitely not agree, but Xiao Chaogui was not in a good state now, and he was helpless when he heard it.
Xiao Yan frowned slightly, Xiao Chaoli was not bad to him, although he didn't have any family affection, but at least he stood on a fair standpoint, and besides, he was an elder, and he was also highly respected in the Xiao family, so he quickly weighed it in his heart and said: "Since Master Chaoli said so, then give Xiao Dingtao a chance." ”
"However," Xiao Yan then changed his words, "the responsibility can be waived, but the punishment must be carried out, and besides, since he keeps mentioning the ancestral hall, the matter of repairing the ancestral hall will be handled by him." ”
What? Xiao Chaoli's eyes widened suddenly, what kind of punishment is this, this is simply sending a big piece of fat meat to Xiao Dingtao, the young man has no experience, and he doesn't know how important the matter of cultivating the ancestral hall is to the Xiao family.
He hinted at Xiao Yan with his eyes, but Xiao Yan just didn't see it, and said that his words had been spoken, and it was impossible to change them.
"Haha, no problem, I agree!" Xiao Dingtao was also overjoyed, and hurriedly agreed, he was scared just now, but now he has to get up again, "The head of the family is full of words, but he can't talk without words!" He was quite smart, and he took Xiao Yan's army in public.
Xiao Yan smiled faintly: "Since you have changed your name to be my family master, of course I will make a promise." ”
Probably stimulated by the beauty of the ancestral hall, Xiao Chaogui also eased up, and his gaze at Xiao Yan was not as vicious and fierce as before, but it was impossible for him to change his name to be the head of the family, he couldn't pull off this old face, but he didn't refute Xiao Dingtao, it was a tacit acquiescence.
Xiao Dingyuan and Xiao Chao were silent, and like Xiao Chaoli, they felt that Xiao Yan was too hasty, and such a big matter should at least be discussed and come up with a charter.
Xiao Yan's reactions were all in Xiao Yan's view, he looked around and continued: "Since everyone has no opinion, then this matter is decided!"
Of course, Xiao Chaogui and Xiao Dingtao have no opinion, Xiao Dingtao is in charge of Xiao Chaogui, and he can make a big fuss about repairing the ancestral hall, haha, is there anything cooler than this?
"The head of the family, the repair of the ancestral hall is a major matter, and I think it should be carefully discussed before making a decision. Xiao Chaoli objected.
"Xiao Chaoli, what do you mean? You dare to refute the things decided by the head of the family, do you still have the head of the family in your eyes?" Xiao Chaogui became angry when he heard it.
In order to confirm this matter, Xiao Chaogui did not hesitate to change his words in public, so as not to cause extraneous branches.
Xiao Chaoli glanced at him with disdain, and said, "Xiao Chaogui, you can still make a sharp turn at your age, and shout that the master of the family is more affectionate than anyone else, admire!"
Xiao Chaogui is also a face-saving person, and his old face suddenly turned red, but interests are more important, and he retorted in shame: "The head of the family sincerely proposed to repair the ancestral hall, I think this is a good thing, it proves that he has the Xiao family in his heart, and he is grateful to the ancestors and ancestors, he has such a heart, why can't I call him the head of the family?"
Xiao Dingtao hurriedly agreed: "That is, my grandfather was worried that the head of the family would not repair the ancestral hall, so he said that, and now that he has decided to rebuild the ancestral hall, he should change his mind and recognize the head of the family!"
As he spoke, he clenched his fists and looked around: "The head of the family cares about the Xiao family, I think it deserves its name, my grandfather and I both support it, what do you all say?"
Driven by him, starting from Xiao Dingfeng, their pluckers all opened their mouths to express their willingness to take Xiao Yan as the head of the family.
Even, Xiao Dingtao actively attracted everyone to meet the new head of the family, patted his chest and promised to repair the ancestral hall and never disappoint the high expectations of the head of the family.
Even Xiao Chaogui assured Xiao Yan with a smile, anyway, as long as he grasped the power to rebuild the ancestral hall in his hands, what was the loss of his old face.
Originally, there were doubts about the position of the head of the family, but under the impetus of their enthusiasm, it was completely confirmed.
Xiao Chaoli couldn't help but realize when he saw this situation, it turned out that Xiao Yan was not stupid, and it was worth it from the overall situation to exchange the ancestral hall for the support of Xiao Chaogui's faction, and he couldn't help but look at Xiao Yan with admiration.
