Listening to Xiao Chen's words, Xiao Sheng's hands on the table suddenly clenched together.

"what will you do?"

Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Sheng and asked again.

"I will... kill them all!"

Xiao Sheng looked directly at Xiao Chen and spoke slowly.

"Oh, is that so?"

Xiao Chen sneered.

"Then why... did you ignore my life and death back then?"

Xiao Sheng clenched his hands even tighter, and they even trembled slightly due to excessive force.

He shook his head and did not answer Xiao Chen.

"Xiao Chen."

Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Sheng and touched Xiao Chen. He was a little afraid that this kid couldn't suppress his anger.

Xiao Chen took a deep breath, calmed himself down, looked away and looked at Xiao Yi.

"Senior Xiao, you haven't told me yet, if it was my mother, would you still say that?"

Xiao Yi was silent for a long time and finally shook his head.

"Oh, so, in your eyes, she is just a servant, and it doesn't matter if she dies... But to me, even though she is not my biological mother, she has saved my life!"

Xiao Chen sneered.

"What do you mean all lives are equal? Bullshit. People are born unequal. There are high and low. But I can understand that a corrupt and ancient family like the Xiao family doesn't take the lives of servants seriously. After all, even in the outside world, it's a ridiculous statement that everyone is equal."

“…”

No one spoke. Even if someone sneered at Xiao Chen's words, they didn't dare to show it.

The hearts of Xiao Bo and the others sank. Xiao Chen still did not intend to let them go, not even to give Xiao Yi's face.

In the entire Xiao family, apart from Xiao Yi who can shock Xiao Chen with force, Xiao Lin is probably the only one who can help.

But will Xiao Lin help them?

impossible!

If Xiao Chen wanted to kill them, it would be better for Xiao Lin to pass the knife to him!

Therefore, they couldn't count on Xiao Lin at all.

"Senior Xiao, are you sure? Is this what you told me, what the Xiao family told me?"

Xiao Chen slowly stood up, looked at Xiao Yi and asked.

When Xiao Bo and the others saw Xiao Chen's actions, they all became alert. Was he planning to take action here?

Xiao Yi was also looking at Xiao Chen and shook his head for a long time: "Maybe you are right, the murderer... must pay with his life!"

After hearing Xiao Yi's words, Xiao Bo and others' faces changed. What did he mean?

"Xiao Chen, you just said that the person who killed her must pay for her life... If you can't find the murderer, then everyone must pay for her life. What if you can find the murderer?"

Xiao Yi asked slowly.

"If you can find out, are you willing to put away your butcher knife? Only kill those who should be killed. As for the others... I will give you other ways to deal with them and spare their lives. Is that okay?"

"Can we find the murderer?"

Xiao Chen thought about it and asked.

"If I want to investigate, I will find out... It will still take three days. If you still can't find the murderer, I won't stop you from doing whatever you want. How about that?"

Xiao Yi said in a deep voice.

"Can."

Xiao Chen nodded and agreed.

Although he was still brooding over what happened that year, the one who really made him want to kill was the person who poisoned him!

"However, I don't want to find out that the murderer is Xiao Yunhong in the end!"

Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Yi and said seriously.

Xiao Yunhong is already dead, so some things can be easily pushed onto his head and he can take the brunt of it!

Xiao Chen would not be satisfied with such a result.

"good."

Xiao Yi nodded. He had no intention of blaming the dead person for the incident.

"Then let's investigate. If we find out, I'll chop him into pieces... As for the rest, I can take a step back."

Xiao Chen said as he glanced at Xiao Bo and the others.

Xiao Bo and others turned pale. Being cut into pieces?

"You guys continue with the meeting. I'm leaving now."

Xiao Chen withdrew his gaze, turned and left.

"Xiao Yu, follow me and take a look."

Xiao Lin said to Xiao Yu.

"Oh, okay."

Xiao Yu nodded, quickly stood up and followed.

"I hope that the person who poisoned me back then can come to me on his own, otherwise..."

Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Bo and the others, his voice a little cold.

"Seventh Uncle..."

Xiao Bo opened his mouth and wanted to say something.

Xiao Yi waved his hand, not letting Xiao Bo continue, and looked at Xiao Sheng: "Next, you will assist Xiao Lin and take over the major and minor matters of the Xiao family."

"yes."

Xiao Sheng nodded.

"Although you are no longer the head of the family, you still have to take care of some things, such as selecting people for Xiao Yu to enter the secret realm with him! This is also what you should do as a father!"

Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Sheng and said seriously.

"Yes, ancestor."

Xiao Sheng agreed.

"I will do it."

"Other than that, I won't say much. You... just take care of yourself."

After Xiao Yi finished speaking, he also stood up and left.

"Remember, before sunset, the poisoner must come to me. I will not wait for him after that time!"

Following the voice, Xiao Yi's figure disappeared at the door.

"Alin, congratulations."

Xiao Sheng looked at Xiao Lin and said with a smile.

"What's there to congratulate? You jumped out of the fire pit, but you pushed me into it."

Xiao Lin curled his lips.

"Holding great power is no longer a pit of fire. If I could have such great power in these years, the Xiao family might..."

Xiao Sheng said this, sighed, and didn't say anything else.

"Whatever you wanted to do but didn't do, I will do it."

Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Sheng and said seriously.

"good."

Xiao Sheng smiled with relief and patted Xiao Lin on the shoulder.

"In the next few days, I will hand over the Xiao family to you one by one."

"No hurry, let me be free for a few more days."

Xiao Lin smiled bitterly.

"Brother, how about you help me? On the surface, I'm the head of the family, but behind the scenes, it's still you, how about that?"

“No, I’ll be away for a while after the Xiao family’s business is done.”

Xiao Sheng shook his head.

"Leave for a while?"

Xiao Lin was startled, then his expression changed.

"You don't mean to..."

"Let's talk about it later."

Xiao Sheng patted Xiao Lin's shoulder again and stopped him from speaking any more.

At this time, the elders from Xiao Sheng's lineage also gathered around.

Although their power has been greatly reduced, at least the head of the family is still from this lineage, so they are not in such a bad mood.

People like Xiao Bo looked at Xiao Lin coldly, then stood up and left.

With Xiao Lin as the head of the family, they have a hard time.

Of course, it is still unknown whether they can pass the current hurdle!

"Xiao Lin, congratulations on becoming the new head of the family."

Xiao Mian also came over, looked at Xiao Lin and said.

"Fifth Ancestor, we will need you in the future..."

Xiao Lin was very humble. After all, apart from Xiao Yi, the strongest person in the Xiao family was Xiao Mian, and he had been nice to him in the past.

“No, now that this matter is over, I will also go into seclusion. Even if I cannot reach the innate level, I must become stronger… So, the Xiao family will be handed over to you.”

Xiao Mian waved his hand without waiting for Xiao Lin to finish.

"Xiao Lin, I believe in your ability. You will make the Xiao family... even more powerful!"

"Fifth Ancestor..."

Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Mian and finally nodded heavily.

"hehe."

Xiao Mian, who rarely smiled on weekdays, smiled, patted Xiao Lin on the shoulder, and left.

Xiao Lin also wanted to leave, but he couldn't ignore the people surrounding him, so he could only greet them.

Xiao Sheng stepped aside. He had been the head of the family for many years, but now that he was no longer the head, he felt relieved.

Moreover, the next head of the family is Xiao Lin. If it were someone else, he might have some ideas, but if it were Xiao Lin, he would not have any.

"It's time to leave."

Xiao Sheng thought of something, muttered to himself, and his eyes became extremely determined.

"However, there are some things that need to be resolved before leaving."

At the same time, Xiao Chen stood on the edge of a cliff, looking at the town in the distance.

The wet nurse is the woman in that small town.

“Brother…”

Xiao Yu came over and spoke carefully.

"Are you okay?"

Xiao Chen retracted his gaze and shook his head: "I'm fine."

"Brother, was that aunt really poisoned to death?"

Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Chen and asked.

"yes."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"But the person who poisoned and wanted to kill was me."

"Then we should avenge her."

Xiao Yu said seriously.

"A real man should repay kindness with kindness and revenge with revenge!"

"hehe."

Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Yu and stopped discussing this with him. In his eyes, this boy was still a child.

But looking at the wound on his arm and thinking of his performance in the martial arts arena, Xiao Chen felt that he could no longer treat him as a child.

"Xiao Yu, during this period of time, you must work hard to cultivate and become stronger... I heard from Uncle Qi that there are not only some unknown dangers in the secret realm, but also various forces will take action. I have no other requirements for you, just come out of the secret realm alive, understand?"

Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Yu and said seriously.

He was afraid that this kid would be as stubborn as he was in the martial arts arena and would fight to the death even though he knew he could not win.

"Sometimes, we would rather die standing than live on our knees, but sometimes, we have to admit defeat and retreat when we should... There's a saying that goes, every grandfather was once a grandson!"

"hehe."

Hearing Xiao Chen's last words, Xiao Yu couldn't help but laugh.

"Brother, I know what I am doing. I am not a child, nor am I a fool. I know when to be tough and when to be soft."

When Xiao Yu said this, her face suddenly turned red and she avoided Xiao Chen's gaze.

Xiao Chen felt a little surprised to see that he was acting strangely. Then he thought of something and was speechless.

He cursed in his heart, damn it, it was Bai Ye who corrupted this kid, no matter how soft or hard he was told, he could think of the wrong thing!

"From now on, stay away from Xiaobai. Do you hear me?"

Xiao Chen glared at Xiao Yu and said.

"ah?"

Xiao Yu's face turned even redder. He knew that his elder brother understood something.

"Well, brother, I'm just giving an example."

"Well, just keep it in mind."

Xiao Chen nodded. He did not tell Xiao Yu that he might also enter.

By then, even if he enters, he probably won’t be too ostentatious.

After all, his existence may not make people from other forces feel at ease.

"I'll teach you something when I have time."

"good."

Xiao Yu was excited. He felt that what his elder brother taught him was much more than what the Xiao family had taught them.

In the martial arts arena, if it weren't for what Big Brother taught him, he would have been defeated, and how could he have defeated Ximen Youwei!

"Brother, you are so kind to me."

"Haha, I'm your brother and you're my brother. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?"

Xiao Chen smiled and patted his shoulder.

——

When I woke up in the morning, my right eye kept tearing up. It didn't hurt, but it was uncomfortable. I kept tearing up while looking at the computer. I don't know what's going on.

I went to see a doctor and he prescribed some eye drops, and I feel better now.

So today's update is delayed, but I won't owe any updates. I will continue writing, and the second update will be later. Sorry.
