Half past nine.
Xiao Chen and Xiao Yu came to the meeting place, next to the ancestral hall.
This is considered the highest-level meeting of the Xiao family, the Council of Elders... It can decide everything about the Xiao family, including the appointment and removal of the head of the Xiao family!
Before the clan elders' meeting, everyone has to go to the clan temple to pay their respects.
"Go ahead, I'll wait for you outside."
Xiao Chen said to Xiao Yu.
"Brother, you're not going?"
Xiao Yu was stunned and asked.
"I won't go."
Xiao Chen looked at the ancestral hall and shook his head.
"Brother, let's go together."
Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Chen and said.
"No."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"All right."
Seeing Xiao Chen's firm attitude, Xiao Yu could only nod and enter the ancestral hall by himself.
Xiao Chen looked at the four big characters "Xiao Family Ancestral Hall" with a mocking smile, then retracted his gaze, lit a cigarette, and took a deep puff.
Soon, Xiao Lin came out of the ancestral hall: "Why don't you go in?"
"I'm not from the Xiao family, why should I go?"
Xiao Chen shook his head.
“…”
Xiao Lin was speechless.
"Why, if I don't enter the clan temple, I won't be allowed to attend the clan elders' meeting? I didn't want to attend anyway, how about I leave first?"
Xiao Chen said while smoking a cigarette.
"That's wishful thinking. Go inside and wait."
Xiao Lin glared at Xiao Chen and pointed to where the meeting was taking place.
"good."
Xiao Chen nodded and walked over leisurely.
Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Chen's back, feeling somewhat helpless. He shook his head and returned to the ancestral hall.
When we arrived at the meeting place, apart from a few maids, there were no one from the Xiao family. They should all be at the ancestral hall.
"Young Master."
When the maids saw Xiao Chen, they bowed and greeted him.
Hearing their name, Xiao Chen frowned: "Who told you to call me that?"
"It was Master Qi who told us to shout like that."
The maid said hurriedly.
“…”
Xiao Chen was helpless. It seemed that his Seventh Uncle didn't want him to return to the Xiao family all the time.
"Where do I sit?"
"Young Master, please sit here."
A maid brought Xiao Chen to a seat and sat down.
"Okay, thank you."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"You're welcome. This is what I should do."
The maid said hurriedly.
"You guys go ahead and do your work, don't worry about me."
Xiao Chen looked at the maids. They should also be maids from the town and have been in the Xiao family for many years.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have been assigned here.
"Okay, if you have anything to say, just let me know."
The maid nodded, bowed and left.
After they left, Xiao Chen looked around. There was no one there, so they should all be at the ancestral hall.
He looked around and found the place quite grand. It was his first time here.
When he was in the Xiao family, he was still young and not qualified to come here.
Unexpectedly, after leaving the Xiao family for many years, he came here.
He fished out a cigarette, lit it, and waited.
Before he finished his cigarette, the door opened and footsteps were heard.
Xiao Chen turned his head and sneered when he saw the person coming.
Xiao Bo and Xiao Wei came in from outside. When they saw Xiao Chen sitting there smoking, they were also stunned. Why was he here?
"Have you slept well these past two days?"
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Bo and Xiao Wei and asked with a smile.
After hearing Xiao Chen's words, Xiao Bo and Xiao Wei's faces changed, and then... they turned around and walked out.
Xiao Chen looked at their actions and was stunned. Damn, is it that serious? I didn't say I would kill you!
However, he felt relieved when he thought that his words could scare the two people away.
"Oh, even if I don't kill you, I'll make you live in fear and afraid to sleep at night!"
Xiao Chen sneered a few times and continued smoking.
Outside, Xiao Bo's face turned pale. How dare a junior threaten him?
Did you sleep well?
What does this mean?
Isn't this just threatening and scaring him?
"Uncle San, did you see that? We can't sleep well unless he dies."
Xiao Wei looked at Xiao Bo and said in a deep voice.
"Do you have an idea?"
Xiao Bo narrowed his eyes and asked slowly.
"Well, I can kill him, but after his death, the Xiao family will be in turmoil, and the ancestors will be furious. I'm afraid I can't handle it alone."
Xiao Wei nodded and then spoke.
"If he can really die, no one can do anything to you without evidence."
Xiao Bo thought about it and said.
"But if... you leave evidence, or Xiao Chen doesn't die, then no one can help you, understand?"
"clear."
Xiao Wei nodded.
"I'm already a useless man. I can't let him die... Most importantly, if he doesn't die, we might all die!"
"Remember, no matter whether Xiao Chen is dead or alive, once there is evidence leading to you, then this matter... was done by you alone."
Xiao Bo looked at Xiao Wei and said seriously.
"I don't know anything."
Xiao Wei frowned slightly. Did he want to keep himself out of this?
But thinking of something, he nodded: "Okay!"
Xiao Bo was about to say something when he heard footsteps. He winked at Xiao Wei and stopped discussing the matter.
Xiao Yi and others came. When they saw Xiao Bo and Xiao Wei standing outside, they couldn't help but be stunned. Why didn't they go in?
Xiao Lin looked at them, thinking of something, with a strange expression on his face. Could it be that they were driven out by Xiao Chen?
"Why don't you go in?"
Xiao Yi asked.
"Uncle Qi, we are waiting for you to join us."
Xiao Bo said to Xiao Yi.
"Come in."
After Xiao Yi finished speaking, he walked in slowly.
When Xiao Yi entered and saw Xiao Chen sitting there smoking, he was stunned for a moment, and then he understood something.
It seems that it’s not Xiao Bo and the others who are waiting for me, but... Xiao Chen is inside.
"Old Xiao."
When Xiao Chen saw Xiao Yi, he stood up and greeted him.
"Um."
Xiao Yi nodded.
"Today's elders' meeting is mainly to discuss the Xiao family's patriarch, so I asked you to come and listen and see if you can give any suggestions."
"Hehe, I didn't suggest it."
Xiao Chen smiled.
“…”
Xiao Yi didn't respond. He had to stay here even if he didn't have any suggestions!
"Everyone please take a seat."
Following Xiao Yi's words, everyone took their seats, and some nodded to Xiao Chen.
"Brother."
Xiao Yu sat next to Xiao Chen.
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"I just saw Xiao Bo and Xiao Wei outside the door...Have they come in?"
Xiao Yu asked in a low voice.
"Come in."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Brother, did you drive them out again?"
Xiao Yu grinned, his elder brother was so awesome. In the past, whenever he met Xiao Bo and Xiao Wei, he had to be respectful. Even if he had some thoughts in his mind, he didn't dare to show them.
"I didn't chase them away. I just asked them a question and they left on their own."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Hmm? Brother, what are you asking?"
Xiao Yu was curious.
"I asked them if they slept well these past two days?"
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Well...I'm sure I won't be able to sleep well."
Xiao Yu also laughed. It seemed that the eldest brother really left a shadow on them. Otherwise, why did they run away after hearing such a sentence?
"What are you two talking about here?"
Xiao Lin also came over and sat on the other side of Xiao Chen.
"Uncle Qi, why did you come to us?"
Xiao Chen asked casually.
"Should I come over and keep an eye on you? What if you draw your knife and kill someone?"
Xiao Lin was joking.
"Not really. After all, Lao Xiao is here. I can't beat him. Even if I want to kill someone, I have to find a time when he's not around."
Xiao Chen smiled.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Xiao Lin rolled his eyes, but still sat there without moving.
"Apart from the two of you, I am the least qualified person... To be honest, this is also my first time attending a clan elders' meeting."
"Is this true? Did the Xiao family's Qilin son never have the qualifications before?"
Xiao Chen deliberately used an exaggerated tone and said.
"Xiao Family Qilinzi, what does it have to do with talent and potential... Look, apart from him, are there any people of my generation? Even Xiao Ming and his powerful people are not qualified to sit here."
Xiao Lin said in a low voice.
"If it weren't for the special circumstances this time, we wouldn't have been able to get in."
"Heh, so that's what I said, the Xiao family is corrupt... How can a family controlled by so many corrupt old guys not be corrupt?"
Xiao Chen sneered.
"Keep your voice down..."
Xiao Lin glared at Xiao Chen. He really dared to say anything.
"Seventh Uncle, if you become the head of the Xiao family, remember to kill all these old guys... Well, I'm not asking you to kill them, but to cut off the power in their hands and let them retire!"
Xiao Chen said to Xiao Lin.
"You are so old, why don't you just take care of your parents and feed the birds? Why do you have to control the Xiao family... It would be better to leave these laborious tasks to the young people."
"No, I don't plan to be the head of the family. I came here today for only one purpose... to calm you down and prevent you from getting mad."
Xiao Lin shook his head.
"As for you wanting to kill them... you are the head of the family, you can kill them however you want, I support you with both hands."
“…”
Xiao Chen kept silent. I'm the one who came to watch the fun, okay?
Next to him, Xiao Yu felt that he couldn't get a word in… Since the old guy from the Xiao family was always about to be killed, he didn't dare to say anything.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's start the clan elders' meeting..."
Xiao Yi spoke softly.
There was some noisy noise at first, but it immediately quieted down after Xiao Yi opened his mouth.
Apart from the Xiao family, there was no one else at the scene, including a few maids, who all retreated and stood guard at the door.
"A lot of things happened in the Xiao family in the past two days. Those who are in seclusion should know about it, right?"
Xiao Yi glanced at everyone and spoke slowly.
"Except Xiao Qian, everyone else is here. Xiao Sheng, please tell us more about the matter."
"good."
Xiao Sheng nodded and briefly explained the matter of Xiao Chen coming to the Xiao family, Xuantian Sect, and Ximen Family.
Listening to Xiao Sheng's words, most people at the scene looked at Xiao Chen.
Judging from Xiao Chen’s previous performance, the older generation of them certainly had a lot of opinions.
But later, it must be said that Xiao Chen also made great contributions by blocking the Xuantian Sect and the Ximen Family.
"For this matter, after I came out of seclusion, I made a decision, that is... Xiao Sheng will no longer serve as the head of the Xiao family."
Seeing that Xiao Sheng had finished speaking, Xiao Yi spoke slowly.
"The biggest purpose of convening the elders' meeting today is to determine the next head of the Xiao family!"
