One night passed quickly.
Because of Xiao Chen's arrival, many people spent a sleepless night.
On the contrary, Xiao Chen, after drinking some wine and with the company of Fairy Sister, slept well.
When he woke up, it was already noon.
"woke up?"
Ning Kejun looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
"Well, is it late?"
Xiao Chen sat up and looked at Ning Kejun.
"It's getting late. Your seventh uncle has already been here twice."
Ning Kejun replied.
"Well, I went to bed too late last night. Fairy sister, you got up early?"
Xiao Chen looked at Ning Kejun, thinking of the madness of last night, and smiled wickedly.
"fine."
Ning Kejun saw Xiao Chen's smile and knew what this guy was thinking, but he didn't care.
After all, she is not a little girl and is not that thin-skinned.
"Get up, they are all up now."
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded, got up, washed, and then came to the main room.
"Brother Chen, you came back very late last night? You were not back when we rested."
Bai Ye looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
"Well, I had a few drinks with Lao Xiao and had a chat."
Xiao Chen said casually.
"Lao Xiao? Who is that?"
Bai Ye and the others were also puzzled. Could it be his father? Did the father and son reconcile?
"Xiao Yi."
Xiao Chen said this and took a sip of water.
"ah?"
After hearing what Xiao Chen said, Bai Ye and the others reacted in a similar way to Ning Kejun... Is Brother Chen heading further and further down the road to his own death?
After all, he is a congenital master and your ancestor. You keep calling him Lao Xiao. If he knows about it, won’t he beat you to death?
Xiao Chen did not explain. He felt that... it would be interesting to call Xiao Yi "Old Xiao" in front of the Xiao family.
It will definitely make your eyes drop to the ground!
He was a little looking forward to it.
Just as they were talking, Xiao Lin came with Xiao Yu.
"Brother, you finally got up."
Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Chen and said.
"Are you tired from yesterday?"
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Xiao Chen looked at him unkindly: "Little bastard, what nonsense are you talking about? You don't learn good things, but learn some messed up things...Xiao Bai, did you teach him bad things?"
"It has nothing to do with me."
Bai Ye was speechless.
"Uh, big brother, what are you thinking about? Can you be more healthy? I mean... it's a long way back, and I'm tired from fighting with the ancestors."
Xiao Yu was also speechless.
"ah?"
Xiao Chen was stunned. Did this kid really mean this?
"Hey, what's going on over there... I'm fine, I've come to rest."
“…”
Xiao Yu shook his head helplessly. No wonder Brother Xiaobai said that the eldest brother was the king of filth. It seemed to be true.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, kid, aren't you going to the back mountain? When are you leaving?"
Xiao Lin spoke up. What a mess everything was happening in front of his elder.
Hearing Xiao Lin's words, Xiao Chen nodded: "Well, is there anything else to do in a while? If not, we'll go."
"As long as you don't cause trouble, the Xiao family will be fine."
Xiao Lin replied.
"How did I cause any trouble... By the way, I want to know if Xiao Bo, Xiao Wei and the others slept well last night?"
Xiao Chen asked casually.
"I guess he didn't sleep well. Many Xiao family disciples were arranged in their residence... I heard that the lights were always on. Thinking that you might go to kill them, it would be strange if he could sleep well."
Xiao Lin shook his head.
"Oh, this is exactly the effect I want."
Xiao Chen sneered.
"When I'm free today, I'll go hang around them... Even if it's just for three days, I won't let them have an easy time."
"hehe."
Xiao Lin smiled. Xiao Bo and the others had provoked Xiao Chen, and they were in trouble for the rest of their lives!
After eating something, Xiao Chen and others left their residence and headed for the back mountain.
"What's in the back hill?"
On the way, Sun Wugong asked curiously.
"cemetery."
Xiao Yu replied.
Sun Wugong was stunned. Cemetery? Who were they going to see?
He looked at Xiao Chen who was walking in front of him and didn't ask any more questions.
Ten minutes later, they arrived at a large cemetery.
Xiao Lin had already instructed the Xiao family disciples to prepare the sacrifices and wait here.
"This way."
Xiao Lin led the way and came to a tombstone.
"I erected this for her a few years ago."
"Thank you, Uncle Seven."
Xiao Chen stood in front of the tombstone and said to Xiao Lin.
"Don't thank me. He actually asked me to do it... After all, not everyone can enter the back mountain."
Xiao Lin shook his head.
“I didn’t find any photos, so I didn’t post them.”
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded. Was it him who did it again?
Afterwards, he placed offerings in front of the tombstone and lit some incense and candles.
"This is... my wet nurse's grave."
Without waiting for anyone to ask, Xiao Chen explained.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Ning Kejun and others were stunned. The wet nurse's tomb?
They had all thought...it was his mother's.
"She's called a wet nurse, but she's actually almost like my own mother..."
Xiao Chen said softly.
"Her child died that year, so she came to the Xiao family. She placed all her love for her child on me..."
No one spoke, just listened to Xiao Chen quietly.
One can even imagine that this wet nurse must have been extremely good to Xiao Chen, treating him like her own son.
"Later...she died. She was poisoned."
When Xiao Chen said this, his voice became a little colder.
"She knew that someone in the Xiao family wanted to harm me, so she was extra careful. Every time before eating, she would try it first. The result was..."
“…”
After hearing what Xiao Chen said, everyone suddenly realized that it was no wonder that he was so reluctant to let go and had to kill a few people.
Although she is not his biological mother, she is almost the same. She died because of him, and the hatred...how can he let it go so easily?
They had been wondering before, if they were just mocking him and dealing with him because he was a waste, then given his personality, he wouldn't have to kill anyone.
Now, they all understand.
There is so much hatred here.
"Before she died, she told me to find a chance to leave the Xiao family and never come back..."
Xiao Chen gently stroked the tombstone.
"You also told me not to avenge her and to live well... Nanny, I still didn't listen to you and came back."
"He has been investigating this matter for many years, but after all...she is just a wet nurse. She may be very important to you, but in the eyes of the Xiao family, she is just a wet nurse."
Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Chen and said.
"Many people think that being buried in the back mountain is already an honor for her... Therefore, who poisoned her back then has not been found out to this day."
Hearing Xiao Lin's words, Xiao Chen's eyes turned cold.
But if you think about the atmosphere in the Xiao family again, it is indeed the case.
Servant...is that still a human being?
The Xiao family has the power of life and death over them, just like in ancient times, if the Xiao family tells them to die, they have to die!
In their view, the death of a wet nurse was nothing.
"decay……"
Xiao Chen thought about what he said to Xiao Yi, it was really like that.
"Since we don't know who it is, then... let them all pay with their lives."
Xiao Chen said coldly.
"Are you sure... that she was poisoned back then? I checked it out, but I didn't find anything."
Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly. A healthy person suddenly died. It must have been an accident.
But he was young at that time and didn't understand some things.
"No one mentioned this matter again, and no one took it to heart... I'll talk to the ancestor about this matter. I ignored it in the meeting hall before."
Xiao Lin said to Xiao Chen.
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded and stopped thinking about it.
Anyway, this time he came to the Xiao family, he would not leave until everything was settled.
Afterwards, Ning Kejun and others also burned incense.
Although he had never met this woman before, she could be said to have saved Xiao Chen's life.
Half an hour later, they left the back mountain.
"Want to walk around?"
Xiao Lin asked Xiao Chen.
"No, I'm not in the mood."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Uncle Qi, go and do your work first. We'll go around in the afternoon."
"OK."
Xiao Lin nodded.
Just as Xiao Chen and his friends were about to return to the courtyard where they lived, a sharp sound was heard.
Hearing the sound, Xiao Lin's eyes fixed and he looked in one direction.
Xiao Chen also looked over. This sound... was very familiar to him.
When they came yesterday, the gatekeeper of the Xiao family also fired such a flare.
"Someone's here to cause trouble?"
Xiao Lin's voice was very cold. It was fine if Xiao Chen came to cause trouble, he was a member of the Xiao family, and now... someone else came?
Then, he thought of something and looked at Xiao Chen: "You go back and rest first, I'll go take a look."
"Haha, is there anyone attacking the Xiao family again? Let's go and take a look."
Xiao Chen smiled. He was also curious about what had happened.
"Okay, let's go and take a look together."
Xiao Lin nodded when he heard Xiao Chen say this.
The group did not stop and headed straight for the mountain gate.
When they arrived here, there were already quite a few people there, and the situation seemed tense.
"Haha, I haven't been to the Xiao family for a few days. Where is the memorial archway? Why is it demolished?"
A middle-aged man looked at the place where the white jade archway used to be and said with a smile.
"Didn't you say last time that if the Xiao family loses this time, I will personally demolish it? Are you afraid that if they lose, it will be ugly if I demolish it, so you demolish it yourself in advance?"
Hearing what the middle-aged man said, everyone behind him burst into laughter.
But this laughter sounded a bit harsh to the ears of the Xiao family's children.
They glared at each other angrily and almost couldn't help but fight.
"Uncle Qi, what are these guys doing?"
Xiao Chen was a little surprised. After all, the Xiao family was one of the twelfth-generation families. It was fine if he came to attack them, but how could anyone dare to provoke them now? Has the Xiao family fallen to this point?
"Someone from the Ximen family."
Xiao Lin's face looked a little ugly, and he spoke slowly.
"Ximen family?"
Xiao Chen was surprised. The Ximen family among the twelve families?
"Um."
Xiao Lin nodded.
"Is there any conflict between the Ximen family and the Xiao family?"
Xiao Chen was curious. If it was the Ximen family, it would make sense. However, as they were all from the Twelve Aristocratic Families, their strength should be similar. Why did they dare to come and attack? They seemed to be disrespecting the Xiao family.
"The current situation in the ancient martial arts world is not very stable. The twelve aristocratic families are reshuffling... The Ximen family has attached themselves to the Xuantian Sect, and they are here to pave the way for the Xuantian Sect."
Xiao Lin said in a deep voice.
