But in a demon cultivation family like the Xiao family, if you want to be a good head of the family, besides scheming and scheming, strength is more important. If there is something more important than strength, it is undoubtedly connections.
Don't think that a long history and profound heritage can last forever. Which family in Tiancang Continent can be passed down for more than a thousand years does not have extensive connections and profound connections?
If you rely on your family alone, no matter how strong the family is, it will be eaten away little by little, and finally there will be nothing left.
Coincidentally, Xiao Yutang is not only much stronger than Xiao Yujin, but also has Gu Qingxi, a genius of cultivation who even he is amazed by.
Others still don't know the true value of Gu Qingxi, thinking that her identity as the master of medicine in the Renxin League and the master of alchemy in the Zhendan League is amazing enough, but Xiao Ningyuan knows that her true value is not just that.
Let me ask, except for Gu Qingxi, who else can improve Xiao Yutang's sword skills to such a level in such a short time? Not to mention him, even the ancestors can't do it.
As long as Xiao Yutang is allowed to take the position of the head of the family, the Xiao family will be able to make friends with Gu Qingxi through this relationship. With her guidance, how many strong people will emerge in the Xiao family, and how strong will the overall strength be?
Maybe, even the ancestors can get her help and go one step further!
The only problem is that her guidance method is a little too cruel. Just imagining it makes people's scalps numb and their hands and feet cold.
Otherwise, forget about the old ancestor. Don't let him suffer that living pain at his age. Well, forget about myself. After all, I'm not young anymore. This great opportunity should be left to the young. The
more Xiao Ningyuan thought about it, the more excited he became. His mind was full of random thoughts, so he didn't care about the little thoughts of the head of the family.
The head of the Xiao family was originally worried that Xiao Ningyuan would argue with reason and force himself to lose face in front of all the clansmen. But he didn't expect that he just smiled faintly when he heard it, and then his eyes were trance and began to wander.
"Yutang, get ready and go to the Devil's Heart Pond tomorrow. Also, according to the clan rules, you can bring an outsider to the Devil's Heart Pond." Although he didn't know what Xiao Ningyuan was thinking, the head of the Xiao family was relieved. While the old man was still distracted, he gave Xiao Yutang a word, and then hurriedly left with several other elders and the heads and elders of other major families.
Afterwards, Gu Qingxi also left the competition venue with Xiao Ningyuan and Xiao Yutang.
Looking at their backs, Xiao Yuhua and others were full of admiration and yearning, and at the same time, a little admiration.
Although the head of the family used the old ancestor's retreat as an excuse to evade the issue of the position of the young head of the family, everyone knew that after this battle, Xiao Yutang's hope of taking the position increased greatly, while Xiao Yujin's hope began to become slim.
Compared with the heartless, insidious and vicious Xiao Yujin, they still prefer to see Xiao Yutang take the position of the head of the family.
Xiao Yujin had stood up with the help of several trusted subordinates, and squinted his eyes, looking at the direction where Gu Qingxi and others left, his eyes flickering.
He thought that he would win the family competition this time, and the opportunity to go to the Demon Heart Pool for training was his own, but he didn't expect that Xiao Yutang's strength had improved to such a level.
He went to the Demon Heart Pool, wouldn't he find anything?
Until Gu Qingxi and others left for a long time, Xiao Yujin still stood there.
His eyes flickered, in addition to unwillingness, there was more worry and uneasiness.
"Young Master, don't worry too much. If you want to sit on the position of the young master of the family, you must not only look at strength, but also wisdom and strategy. I believe that even if the ancestor comes to choose, he will only choose you, and will never choose him, Xiao Yutang." The young confidant next to him was obviously not as smart as Xiao Yuquan. He couldn't tell what Xiao Yujin was worried about, and pretended to be disdainful and comforted him.
At the same time, he was also reminding Xiao Yujin: At this point, if he still wants to win the position of the young master of the family, the best way is to please the old ancestor. As long as he can make him happy, even if Xiao Yutang is a little stronger, he will never be able to sit on the position of the young master of the family.
"After Xiao Yutang goes to the Demon Heart Palace tomorrow, you will guard outside. No matter what happens in the palace, you must report to me immediately." Xiao Yujin seemed not to hear what he said, and ordered with a gloomy face.
The young confidant was startled: Didn't I make it clear enough? At this critical moment, if you don't think hard enough to please the old ancestor, why are you still thinking about the Demon Heart Pool?
"Yes, young master." Although he was very puzzled by Xiao Yujin's order, he still bowed and responded.
At this time, Gu Qingxi had returned to the guest house and was staring at a room full of medicinal herbs, spiritual crystals, spiritual stones, spiritual jade, and various kinds of natural treasures that were countless.
Time went back to half a quarter of an hour ago. Xiao Yutang said goodbye to Gu Qingxi and returned to Xiao Ningyuan's residence. After a few pleasantries, he stood up and walked out before he could even sit down.
"Tomorrow we will go to the Devil's Heart Pond for training. Where are you going if you don't take a good rest?" Xiao Ningyuan grabbed him and asked unhappily. "
I'm going to see Qingxi. She has been busy practicing these days. I don't know if she is used to living here, and whether the servants are serving her well. I feel really bad." Xiao Yutang replied.
"Oh." Xiao Ningyuan gave him a meaningful look.
"Grand Elder, please don't misunderstand me. I don't have that kind of thoughts about Qingxi?" Xiao Yutang saw the suspicion in his eyes, and was afraid that he would misunderstand, so he quickly explained.
"Then what are you thinking?" Xiao Ningyuan asked.
"Grand Elder, you know that I am now strong because of Qingxi.
So I won't hide it from you. With my qualifications and understanding, even if I take the position of the head of the family, I can only cultivate to the state of fusion in this life. If I want to cross the threshold of the tribulation and become a real strong man, the only hope is to cling to Qingxi's thigh." Xiao Yutang hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't bear to deceive the great elder, and whispered what was in his heart.
"In other words, you hurried to see Qingxi to cling to her thigh?" Xiao Ningyuan's eyes became deeper.
"Yes." Xiao Yutang nodded embarrassedly.
Although there is a saying in the world of cultivation since ancient times that good birds choose trees to live in and good ministers choose masters to serve, he is a demon cultivator who stands tall and unyielding. Even if he said such unambitious words in front of the closest people, he still felt a little embarrassed. He
could also imagine how disappointed the great elder would be when he heard his words, so he didn't dare to look up and look into his eyes.
"You are so stupid!" As expected, Xiao Ningyuan scolded him harshly as soon as he finished speaking.
"Grand Elder, I know I have disappointed you. You have raised me with great difficulty and taught me martial arts and swordsmanship, but I have no self-respect and no shame. I would be disappointed as well. If
you are unhappy, you can scold me or beat me up, as long as you don't get angry and hurt yourself..." Xiao Yutang felt even more ashamed and guilty after hearing this. He lowered his head and looked at his toes, and the back of his neck was red with shame.
"Stupid! How can you cling to someone like that? Where's your sincerity?
You want to cling to someone like that just by saying a few nice words and ordering the servants to do chores? How could you think of that? I've taught you for so many years, and you've turned out to be such a stubborn person?" Before he could finish his words, he heard the elder scold him again.
Hey... isn't this style a bit wrong? Xiao Yutang raised his head and looked at the elder in surprise, looking disappointed and stunned by the scolding.
