Chapter 651: Retreat to Advance (Part 1)
Perhaps because of the previous example of Tan Tai Qing Lan, when everyone saw Xie Ling Yun being tortured to the point where her original appearance was almost unrecognizable, they were not surprised at all.
Xie Ruiming felt very distressed, but when he met Xie Chujun's seemingly gentle gaze, he felt a chill down his spine and didn't even dare to fart.
The other guests kept exchanging glances, knowing that the situation in the ancient martial arts world would change after today.
Everyone tactfully did not mention Xie Chujun's previous confession, and instead came forward to congratulate Young Master Xie on finding his wife and daughter and reuniting his family.
Xie Chujun returned the gifts one by one and sent the person away with a smile.
The area in front of the ancestral hall gradually became quiet, with only the Xie family members, each with their own thoughts, remaining.
Over the years, Xie Chujun has focused on cultivating a force that can fight against the Fan clan. Although he sits in the position of the young master of the Xie family, he stays out of the open and secret struggles of the Xie family.
He knew that the other branches had already united together, wanting to dethrone him from the position of young master of the Xie family and replace them with the third branch.
But regardless of success or failure, he had no intention of staying in the Xie family or in the ancient martial arts world, so he turned a blind eye to their secret tactics and let them do whatever they wanted.
But this time…
Xie Chujun's gaze swept across Xie Bowen, Xie Yi and the others. His eyes flashed slightly, and he once again took out the scroll he had just read, and presented it to the elders of the Xie family with both hands.
Everyone's heart tightened, and they immediately asked, "Young Master, what do you mean?"
Xie Chujun smiled gently and said, "Chu Jun knows that he has let his family down and is no longer worthy of being the Xie Clan's Young Master. Later, Chu Jun will take his wife and daughter and leave the Xie Clan and the Ancient Martial Arts World. I ask all uncles to accept this book as proof."
"And father." Xie Chujun's gaze shifted to the old clan leader Xie. He suddenly bowed deeply and said, "Father is now terminally ill. Although he holds the position of clan leader, he is no longer able to handle clan affairs."
"I am your father's only son, so I ask you uncles to be lenient and allow me to take my father with me so that I can finally fulfill my filial duty."
Everyone's heart skipped a beat.
If it were before today, when they heard Xie Chujun say such words, they would probably jump up with joy, pack his luggage and see him off immediately.
But at this moment, everyone just felt a headache.
They wanted him to abdicate and replace him with a young master who was easier to talk to and less domineering, but the key was, did they dare?
The eldest lady of the Fan tribe is his wife, the chief of the Fan tribe is his brother-in-law, the saint of the Fan tribe is his daughter, Young Master Heng is his son-in-law, and Old Duan is his relative-in-law.
The Xie family can't afford to offend any of these people!
Not to mention that today Xie Chujun faced off against the Tan Tai family and crippled Tan Tai Qinglan in front of Tan Tai Qingyu.
They didn't even need to try, they were sure that as soon as Xie Chujun left with his wife and daughter, the old patriarch Tan Tai and the young master would put the blame on their Xie family!
Oh, and the Brahmas.
He wanted to take away the eldest daughter and the saint of the Fan clan with just one word. The Fan clan might be afraid of Duan Laofan and others and dare not stop them, but they would not let the Xie family go easily.
What will the Xie family use to resist then?
Isn't this simply courting death?!
They could think of such a simple truth, and they didn't believe that Xie Chujun couldn't think of it!
He chose this time to bring this up...
Everyone exchanged glances and vaguely felt something.
He felt aggrieved and angry, but even though he knew the other party had ulterior motives, he still had to step into the trap.
The Xie family's elders stepped forward as a representative and said with a look of displeasure, "Young Master, what are you talking about? You are the legitimate offspring of our Xie family, and you possess outstanding abilities and talents. There is no one in the Xie family more worthy of being the Young Master than you!"
He reached out and took the scroll from Xie Chujun's hand, gritted his teeth, and suddenly exerted force to shatter it into pieces. When he raised his head, there was only emotion on his face.
Grabbing Xie Chujun's hands, he said, "Young Master, if we are to feel guilty, we should feel guilty towards you and the clan leader!"
"For so many years, we didn't know that the young lady was the former saint of the Brahma clan, and we didn't know that you and the clan leader secretly took on so much pressure for the Xie family. We are so sorry for you!"
"Resigning from the position of Young Master was merely a temporary solution. Now that the Young Madam and the Eldest Miss have returned, the crisis has been resolved. Naturally, there's no need to mention this matter again! You will always be the Young Master of the Xie Clan!"
"No! It's the Clan Leader!" The elder glanced at Clan Leader Xie, who was sitting in a wheelchair. Fearing that Xie Chujun would leave, he knelt down and shouted, "The Clan Leader is old and frail, and is no longer able to handle clan affairs. Please, Young Master, take over the position of Clan Leader immediately!"
The other members of the clan exchanged glances, knowing that the matter was settled, and knelt down as well, shouting loudly, "Young Master, please take over the position of clan leader immediately!"
Xie Chujun was embarrassed: "This..."
The elder of the clan was furious when he saw him like this, but he had to continue to hold back his frustration and persuade him kindly: "Young Master, you also said that the old clan leader is old and seriously ill. I'm afraid he doesn't have much time left."
"He's been in the Xie family for nearly a hundred years, dedicating his entire life to the family. When it comes to his feelings for the family, I'm afraid no one has a deeper bond than him. As a son, could you bear to let him leave his hometown and be unable to return to his roots at the end of his life?"
"And the eldest daughter, she has been living away from home since she was young. Now she has finally returned to her family. How can you bear not to let her stay in your own home for even a single day?"
"She is the most honorable daughter of the Xie family. It is reasonable for her to stay in the Xie family!"
The patriarch spoke with great emotion, and tears came to her eyes. If she had not heard Xie Xuan talk about the past of the Xie family earlier, she would have believed his lies.
He couldn't help but lower his voice and said to Sheng Shijing: "If this elder of the Xie family also goes to act, Mr. Sheng, I'm afraid your Best Actor award won't be so easy to get."
Sheng Shijing couldn't help laughing: "Indeed."
He glanced at Xie Chujun and lowered his voice, saying, "My father-in-law is no less capable than me."
Xie Xihe nodded in agreement.
The two were talking, and the other party was talking about something. Suddenly, Xie Chujun turned his head and looked at Xie Xi, as if he was embarrassed and said: "Xi'er, look?"
Xie Xihe was slightly stunned, but quickly reacted and nodded calmly, "Then stay."
Xie Chujun exchanged a look with her and sighed, "Since Xi'er has agreed, then fine, I'll respectfully obey."
The Xie family members finally relaxed their worries and smiled happily, "That's right."
Xie Chujun smiled slightly, and suddenly changed the subject: "But before that, there is a small problem that needs to be solved first."
Amidst everyone's tense nerves, he turned his gaze and fell on Xie Lingyun, who had just cleaned herself up and was forcing herself back here despite her injuries. There was a dark look in his eyes.
See you tonight
