"Rongyi has met Second Uncle!"

Her voice was clear and melodious, like a yellow oriole singing in a valley. Xiao Ding looked at her with a smile, his eyes full of satisfaction, and nodded to show his approval of her. At this point, all the people present in the Xiao family had been introduced.

Then, Xiao Yun gently took Xiao Ding's hand and said softly:

"Ding'er, you've been tired from traveling all the way, go down and rest first! We'll have plenty of time to catch up later!"

Xiao Ding listened to his mother's words and nodded obediently. After chatting with everyone for a few words, he turned and left the hall.

After Xiao Ding's tall and slightly lonely figure gradually walked away until it disappeared, Xiao Li withdrew his gaze and turned to look at his father, Xiao Changfeng.

At this moment, Xiao Li frowned tightly, his eyes showing deep helplessness and regret. He sighed deeply, his voice so soft that it seemed that only people nearby could hear it:

"Father, why can't you try to let go of your prejudices against Ding'er? He actually has his own unspeakable difficulties and hardships!"

Xiao Changfeng sat there quietly, like a steady mountain. He listened silently to his son Xiao Li's words, and a thoughtful expression gradually emerged on his face.

However, he did not respond immediately but remained silent, making it difficult to guess his true thoughts.

The rest of the people present now focused their attention on the head of the family. They looked at each other, seemingly unsure of how to break the heavy silence before them. For a moment, in the entire hall, except for the occasional slight breathing sound, there was no other sound, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

After this suffocating silence lasted for a long time, Xiao Changfeng finally raised his head slowly, opened his lips slightly, and said slowly in a low but firm tone:

"Forget it, let's put this matter aside for now. We'll make a final decision when his son returns..."

After he finished speaking, he gently waved his hand, his action seemed casual but it carried an unquestionable majesty. Seeing this, everyone knew that this was the intention of expelling the guests, so they bowed and left. Not long after, the hall, which was originally crowded, suddenly became empty, leaving only Xiao Changfeng and Xiao Yun and his wife still there.

At the same time, in the Yaochi on the other side, a completely different scene was presented in the sect master's hall. Xiao Ning's face was full of a look of despair, and his originally bright and beautiful clothes had now been torn into tattered strips of cloth, covered with dust and stains.

What was even more eye-catching was that his originally fair face was now covered with all kinds of rouge marks and bright red kisses from women, which was simply horrible to look at. It was obvious that on the way here, poor Xiao Ning had been harassed by many people.
