More importantly, before each family competition, the children of the Xiao family were not allowed to fight each other for any reason. Even if someone openly violated the family rules, they had to be dealt with by the elders.
Otherwise, they would be disqualified from the competition, expelled from the family for a hundred years and not allowed to return. In serious cases, they would even be expelled from the family forever.
It was for this reason that Xiao Yujin asked the third elder to come forward instead of doing it himself.
"Then, should we report this matter to the head of the family, or ask other elders in the family to punish him." Xiao Yuquan thought about it and came up with another idea.
Xiao Yujin looked at him with an idiot look, but he was too lazy to even say anything.
If the head of the family was still willing to take charge, how could he allow him to use this method to deal with Xiao Yutang. If he reported it, how could he punish Xiao Yutang for such a trivial matter?
Needless to say, the other elders in the family were not fools, and those old men were even more experienced. How could they not know why he set this rule?
It's just that they know they have no chance of becoming the head of the family, and they don't want to get involved in the dispute between the two younger generations, so they just turned a blind eye.
If I bring what happened just now to them, wouldn't it be clear that there is nothing I can do to Xiao Yutang, and I can only ask the elders for help?
What's the difference between this and a child who loses a fight and asks adults for support, and more importantly, these two children are cousins.
I guess those old men are lucky not to laugh their teeth off behind his back, so why would they help him?
Isn't Xiao Yuquan usually a very smart person? Why did he come up with such a bad idea today? Xiao Yujin was in a bad mood, and he was getting more and more annoyed with Xiao Yuquan.
Xiao Yuquan himself knew that this idea was a bit bad, so he laughed twice, didn't dare to speak again, and turned his head to look out the window.
"Hey, who is that?" Then, Xiao Yuquan saw Gu Qingxi who came in with Xiao Yutang, and said in surprise and confusion.
"It seems that he is not from our Xiao family, nor from the other major demon cultivation families." Xiao Yujin also saw Gu Qingxi and said with a frown.
"Young Master, Xiao Yutang will have nothing to say now, right?
This family competition is of great importance. Except for the several major demon cultivation families that have been friendly with our Xiao family since ancient times, no outsiders are allowed to set foot in the Xiao family. This is the rule set by the head of the family, several elders and guardians, and the elders of each family.
If Xiao Yutang dares to disobey openly, the head of the family and those elders can't pretend not to see it, right?" Xiao Yuquan suddenly became energetic again and said happily.
"That's right, even if the elders and several guardians favor Xiao Yutang, they will never let him do whatever he wants in such a big matter." Xiao Yujin was also refreshed and rushed out of the attic quickly.
As soon as he left the attic, he shouted, "Xiao Yutang, stop!"
"Brother Yujin, do you want to personally check my family token?" Looking at Xiao Yujin who hurried over, Xiao Yutang said sarcastically.
"Yutang, you are joking. Everyone in the Xiao family knows you. Why do you need to check the token?
It's just that these guards are followers I just accepted not long ago. They have never seen you before, so there is a misunderstanding. I hope you will not be so rude to them for the sake of my brother." Xiao Yujin laughed.
"Really?" Xiao Yujin sneered.
This is also the reason why he doesn't like Xiao Yujin. He clearly wants to stab him to death in his heart, but he has to pretend to be a respectful and humble brother on the surface. People who don't know him would think he is the descendant of some immortal family.
"If there is nothing else, I will go back first." Xiao Yujin didn't want to be polite to Xiao Yujin, so he walked straight to his yard without waiting for him to say more.
"Wait a minute, Yutang, who is she?" Xiao Yujin stopped Xiao Yutang and pointed at Gu Qingxi and asked.
"Her name is Gu Qingxi, she is my friend. I invited her to come and watch the family competition this time." Xiao Yutang answered.
Since ancient times, every time there is a family competition, the Xiao family will invite close friends to come and watch. It has become a routine, so he has nothing to hide.
"Gu Qingxi... Gu Qingxi from the Renxin League?" Xiao Yujin has been helping the head of the family to manage family affairs in recent years. He is not as ignorant as the younger generation such as Xiao Yuhua. When he heard the name Gu Qingxi, he felt familiar. After a little thought, he remembered who it was.
"Yes, she is Gu Qingxi from the Renxin League. Brother Yujin, don't you think that immortals and demons cannot coexist, and think that I shouldn't get acquainted with Master Gu, let alone invite her to the Xiao family to watch the ceremony?" Xiao Yutang asked.
But although he asked this question, his tone was full of teasing.
In the minds of ordinary cultivators, it is almost natural that immortals and demons cannot coexist, but for an ancient family like the Xiao family, how can there be so much deep hatred between the immortal gate and the demon path?
In that war between humans and demons, I don’t know how many immortal gate cultivators and demons lived and died side by side, and even entrusted their lives to each other.
But later, as the war ended, the two sides had more and more conflicts of interest, and because of some misunderstandings, the conflicts became more and more serious, and finally they turned against each other.
But even so, for the Xiao family, the most important thing is still interest. As long as there are enough interests, let alone just making friends with people from the immortal gate, even forming an alliance is not a bad idea.
And Gu Qingxi is obviously a person who can bring great benefits to the Xiao family.
If Xiao Yujin insists on using Gu Qingxi's identity as a member of the immortal gate to make a fuss, then he is not qualified to compete for the position of the head of the family. Go home and hug your child as soon as possible. Hey
, why do you think of hugging a child? It seems that Ye Yuhan has been poisoned.
"Yutang, what are you talking about? I've heard that Master Gu is not only the master of medicine at the Renxin League, but also the master of alchemy at the Zhendan League. We can't even invite such a distinguished guest back. What's the point of talking about the battle between immortals and demons? Isn't that a joke?" Xiao Yujin was not that stupid. Hearing
what Xiao Yujin said, he laughed again. Xiao Yutang was a little disappointed.
But soon, Xiao Yujin changed the subject and said to Gu Qingxi with an apologetic look: "Master Gu, you have come from afar, and our Xiao family should have welcomed you.
But in a few days, our Xiao family will hold a family competition that happens once every hundred years. The head of the family, the elders and protectors, and the elders of each branch of the family have already issued a clear order that, except for those demon cultivators, no outsiders are allowed to set foot in the Xiao family.
So Master Gu, please stay in Dingtian City for a few days. When the family competition is over, I will go to Dingtian City in person and invite Master Gu to visit my Xiao family."
Dingtian City is the nearest city to the Xiao family, hundreds of miles away.
Although Xiao Yujin said this politely, Gu Qingxi's expression gradually became cold:
Seeing that he could do nothing with Xiao Yutang, Xiao Yujin actually pointed the finger at himself.
Xiao Yutang made such a big fuss, but if he couldn't bring his friends into the house in the end, wouldn't everything he did before become a joke?
Such a result was clearly a slap in his face, and it hurt more than a slap on his own face.
"Xiao Yujin, my friends, Xiao Yutang, are not qualified to observe the family competition?" Seeing that Xiao Yujin's plan failed and he came up with another one, and even made things difficult for Gu Qingxi, Xiao Yutang was really angry.
Don't you see who Gu Qingxi is? How dare you make things difficult for her? If you want to die, die by yourself. Don't implicate me, Xiao Yutang, and even more so, don't implicate our Xiao family.
While speaking, Xiao Yutang gripped the hilt of the sword again. Because he was too angry and used too much force, his knuckles turned slightly white.
