Chapter 643 She is Xie Xihe (Part 1)
"Oh my god, Elder Duan and Young Master Heng?! How great is the Xie family's reputation to even be able to invite these two?"
"I remember that Patriarch Tantai couldn't invite Elder Duan to his 70th birthday. Now it's just a ceremony for the younger generation of the Xie family to recognize their ancestors. Why are Elder Duan and Young Master Hengzhi joining in the fun?"
"This is such an honor! With these two here, the position of the eldest daughter of the Xie family will be even more secure. If only we could invite Elder Duan to be the best man..."
"What are you thinking? Elder Duan is of such status that how could he possibly be a best man for a junior? Not to mention Young Master Xie's daughter, even Young Master Xie himself, or even the old Patriarch Xie, wouldn't be qualified, right?"
"That's right. Asking Mr. Duan to be the best man is such an honor. Even if Mr. Duan agrees, I'm afraid Miss Xie can't afford it, right?"
"Hehehe, sorry, sorry, that was so easy to say, I accidentally said something wrong..."
“…”
Countless discussions came into my ears. Although the speakers had no intention, the listeners could not help but have false thoughts.
Xie Siyun's heart moved slightly, and he immediately looked up, looking towards the entrance with a look of joy and anticipation.
Three figures, one in front and two behind, came into everyone's sight. Xie Siyun's smile deepened and he immediately stepped forward to greet them. However, when he saw the girl who was half a step behind Duan Chengxian, his steps suddenly stopped, and even the smile on his face froze uncontrollably.
It was a face she was not very familiar with, but it would appear in her mind from time to time during this period of time. Every time she thought of it, her heart would be slightly disturbed and she would feel vaguely uneasy.
How come she is here?
The familiar uneasiness surged through Xie Siyun's heart once again. He clenched his fists to maintain his composure. He smiled and greeted them, saying, "Master Duan, Master Hengzhi, I didn't expect you two to come in person. It's truly an honor for me. I thank you both."
Duan Chengxian just glanced at her casually, without even saying a word of courtesy, let alone a response, and walked past her and stopped only when he reached the old patriarch Xie.
Sheng Shijing and Xie Xihe also ignored her and walked straight forward.
Xie Siyun's expression changed in an instant. Countless glances of surprise, doubt, or surprise were cast at her. They didn't necessarily have much malice in them, but they were enough to make her blush.
Patriarch Xie is over seventy years old, which is not considered old in the ancient martial arts world where the average life expectancy is 200 years.
At least he is much younger than Duan Chengxian.
But compared to Duan Chengxian, who looks only in his fifties or sixties, the old patriarch Xie looks more like a real old man in his twilight years.
His hair and beard were half white, and his face was covered with wrinkles of varying depths. Especially the gloomy aura emanating from deep within his body gave people the feeling that he would not live long.
Xie Xihe couldn't help but frowned and subconsciously wanted to reach out and feel the pulse.
But I still held back.
Now she was just a guest who came to attend the banquet at Xie's house. She was able to get here thanks to Mr. Duan. If she went forward rashly, the people from Xie's family would probably jump out immediately.
Didn't she see that Xie Lingyun and the others were looking at her as if they wanted to eat her?
She hasn't done anything yet.
Xie Xihe curled her red lips slightly and stood obediently behind Mr. Duan.
On the other side, Xie Lingyun had quietly taken a few steps forward and came to her father Xie Ruiming's side. She lowered her voice and said, "Father, did you see the girl next to Mr. Duan?"
Xie Ruiming looked over and said calmly, "What's wrong?"
Xie Lingyun pursed her lips and lowered her voice: "She is Xie Xihe."
Xie Ruiming's calm expression changed, and he turned his head and looked over: "What did you say?!"
The voice rose uncontrollably, attracting the attention of many people.
Xie Ruiming reacted immediately, and immediately gave everyone an apologetic smile, trying to keep his voice steady as he said, "She is Xie Xihe? But didn't you say that she refused to return to the Xie family and refused to acknowledge her relatives? How come..."
Xie Lingyun glanced at Xie Ruiming with a calm and distant gaze.
Xie Ruiming paused and gradually came to his senses.
No matter why she was reluctant to come back before, at this moment, she really came to the Xie family and chose such a special occasion.
The other party's purpose was very clear - she came here to expose Xie Siyun.
Xie Ruiming's eyes quickly swept over Xie Xihe and Duan Chengxian and Sheng Shijing beside her. A layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on his back. He said with some fear: "I remember you said that last time it was because of Master Hengzhi that you failed to bring the person back. So this time..."
"This time, not only will Young Master Hengzhi protect her, but there's also Elder Duan. Father, we have to find a way to stop her." Xie Lingyun took over the conversation.
Once Xie Siyun's identity as an imposter is exposed, Xie Hengyuan, Xie Jilin and the three people who found Xie Siyun will be the first to suffer.
Even if you can use the excuse of being deceived, you will definitely be punished.
Even worse was what happened next.
During this period of time, Xie Chujun has regained control of the Xie family. Now the only way they can compete with Xie Chujun is Xie Siyun's move.
Only by keeping Xie Chujun's daughter firmly under their control can they obtain more information and find an opportunity to get rid of Xie Chujun and take over the Xie family.
But if it was Xie Xihe...
Xie Lingyun's gaze also swept over Sheng Shijing and the other person, her expression gloomy.
There's no need to even think about it.
The status of Xie Chujun's lineage will only become more indestructible!
Xie Ruiming knew that he had to find a way to stop Xie Xihe, but there was no way!
He has already been led by the nose by Xie Chujun alone. If he has the support of Mr. Duan, he might as well go to bed. What's the point of trying to earn money? He can't win anyway, so why waste his energy?
Thinking of this, Xie Ruiming's heart moved. He couldn't help but look at his daughter and said tentatively: "Yun'er, how about we..."
Forget it.
Before she could utter the last three words, Xie Lingyun's face darkened. After finally suppressing her temper, she said, "We've been fighting the Third Branch for so long. If nothing else, let's just talk about how the old patriarch sustained even more injuries..."
She stopped talking and said, "Do you think Third Uncle will let us off easily after he becomes the clan leader?"
Xie Ruiming's face changed slightly and he was speechless.
Xie Lingyun's expression looked better now.
Trying to keep his voice steady, he said, "I'll figure out a solution for this matter. Father, just stay here and cooperate with me as much as possible."
Her eyes were deep. "No matter what, let Xie Siyun successfully recognize her ancestors first. As long as she is included in the family tree, even if Third Uncle knows the truth, he can't just say he won't recognize her."
We'll figure out what to do next later.
See you tonight
