When Xiao Bo saw Xiao Chen looking at him, his expression changed.
It wasn't enough that he killed Xiao Wei, was he going to kill him too?
"Xiao Bo, Xiao Wei just said it, do you still want to deny it?"
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Bo and asked coldly.
"I am just an insider, I am not involved..."
Xiao Bo took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
Don’t panic, don’t get confused!
If you panic and get confused, then it's all over!
But when he looked at the Xuanyuan Sword in Xiao Chen's hand and then at the corpse in a pool of blood, he was still a little panicked!
No matter who it is, they will panic!
"Those who know the truth must also die."
Xiao Chen said lightly.
"you……"
Xiao Bo's face changed.
"According to the Xiao family's rules..."
"Don't talk to me about the Xiao family's family rules. I said, I'm not from the Xiao family. The Xiao family's family rules are useless to me."
Xiao Chen interrupted Xiao Bo, his voice becoming a little colder.
"Seventh Uncle..."
Xiao Bo's heart trembled, as Xiao Chen had just said the same thing, and then he chopped Xiao Wei with a knife.
Now that he said this again, is he going to stab himself too?
Thinking of this, he was really scared!
Even if he had reached the Great Perfection of Hua Jin, he would not be able to stop Xiao Chen!
"Xiao Chen."
Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Bo and spoke slowly.
"Although Xiao Bo knew about it, he was not involved, so he is not guilty of the crime of death... You want to avenge your nanny, but he was not involved in it back then, and he didn't even know about it."
Hearing Xiao Yi's words, Xiao Chen looked over. He wanted to protect Xiao Bo?
"The ancient martial arts world is in turmoil now. The Xiao family is already weak among the twelve noble families, especially the top masters, who are weaker than the various forces..."
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Chen. After all, they had drank together before, so he knew this kid's temper.
This kid responds to soft words but not hard ones. If you talk to him nicely, maybe Xiao Bo's life can be saved.
If he acted like an ancestor and ordered this kid around or tried to stop him, Xiao Bo would not survive.
Even if Xiao Chen cannot kill Xiao Bo now, he will definitely find an opportunity to kill Xiao Bo later.
The most important thing is, if that were the case, would Xiao Chen still return to the Xiao family?
Impossible!
"Xiao Chen, your seventh uncle has just become the head of the family. If there are too few top masters in the Xiao family, he will not have the confidence when he is away, right? Since Xiao Bo was not involved in what happened back then, how about sparing his life?"
Hearing Xiao Yi's words, everyone in the Xiao family was shocked.
Originally, some people were not very clear about Xiao Chen's importance, but now... they understand.
Xiao Yi was discussing with Xiao Chen, not giving an order!
Looking at the Xiao family, who can do this!
No one!
Even the two family heads, Xiao Sheng and Xiao Lin, as well as the half-step innate Xiao Mian, would not let him face them with such an attitude!
When Xiao Bo saw Xiao Yi speaking up for him, he felt relieved but also felt a little complicated.
He regretted it.
No matter it was back then or this time, he regretted provoking Xiao Chen!
Xiao Chen was also a little surprised. Looking at Xiao Yi, Old Xiao... he was really a sophisticated guy!
Could he refuse?
"Xiao Chen, the Third Ancestor only knows that the crime is indeed not punishable by death..."
Xiao Sheng thought about it and spoke slowly.
Although he also hated Xiao Bo, after all, he almost died just now!
But he also knew that if Xiao Wei died and Xiao Bo died too, the Xiao family would probably be in turmoil.
That lineage is headed by Xiao Bo. Will they watch Xiao Bo die?
Even if they can't stop it, what can they do next?
Xiao Chen will not return to the Xiao family?
It is no exaggeration to say that killing Xiao Bo tonight may very likely sow the seeds that will tear the Xiao family apart!
As the former head of the family, he saw it very clearly.
He also knew that Xiao Yi saw it very clearly as well, which was why he wanted to protect Xiao Bo.
Of course, Xiao Bo’s achievement in Hua Jin is also one of the reasons.
Some words can be said in public, but some words cannot be said.
Therefore, Xiao Yi only said that the Xiao family was weak and lacked experts.
It was precisely because he understood this that Xiao Sheng made the decision to persuade Xiao Chen to let Xiao Bo go.
"You were nearly poisoned tonight."
Hearing Xiao Sheng's words, Xiao Chen looked over and spoke slowly.
"I know, but he has no obligation to inform us once he knows, right?"
Xiao Sheng nodded and said to Xiao Chen.
"That's right, I have no obligation to inform you!"
Xiao Bo also nodded.
Hearing Xiao Bo's words, Xiao Yi's face changed slightly, and Xiao Sheng cursed in his heart, why are you talking so much now!
"You are not obliged to inform, but it seems that when I killed Xiao Yunhong, I didn't know that he was involved in the poisoning, right?"
Xiao Chen looked at him coldly, filled with murderous intent.
Xiao Bo was stunned at first, then his heart trembled.
If Xiao Chen really wants to kill him, does he need a reason?
In the ancient martial arts world, killing...does not require a reason!
As long as Xiao Yi is around, Xiao Chen can't kill him.
But this is when Xiao Yi wants to keep him!
Now what?
Xiao Yi and Xiao Chen were discussing in a negotiating tone whether to spare his life!
If Xiao Chen insisted on killing him, would Xiao Yi turn against Xiao Chen for him?
Even if he thought about it with his butt, he knew it was impossible!
If he were in Xiao Yi's position, it is impossible for him to protect Xiao Yi and turn against Xiao Chen!
Thinking of this, Xiao Bo almost slapped himself. What nonsense is this.
"What I mean is... although I have no obligation to inform you, we are all from the same clan. I shouldn't have failed to stop Xiao Wei. I should have stopped him. This is my fault."
Xiao Bo looked at Xiao Chen and thought, forget it, he didn't want to lose his old face anymore, he should just risk it and save his life first.
If a person dies, everything is gone, so why bother talking about face?
After hearing what Xiao Bo said, many people looked strange. Is he scared?
Xiao Chen also showed a mocking look. This old guy is willing to sacrifice his reputation just to survive!
"Xiao Chen, look, Xiao Bo has also realized his mistake."
Xiao Yi felt that Xiao Bo had finally become smart again, and said to Xiao Chen.
"Of course, the death penalty can be avoided, but the punishment of life imprisonment cannot. I plan to confine him to the cliff for five years to reflect on his mistakes..."
Xiao Bo's face changed slightly. Face the wall and reflect on your mistakes. Five years of house arrest?
But think about it again, facing the wall and being confined to the house for five years is better than death!
He nodded, and said in a humble manner: "I was indeed wrong, I should reflect on my mistakes... I accept any punishment."
"Xiao Chen, how is it?"
Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
"Now that you've said it all, what can I say?"
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Yi and curled his lips.
When Xiao Yi saw Xiao Chen like this, he wanted to laugh, but when his eyes glanced at Xiao Wei lying in a pool of blood, he held back.
"For the sake of Old Xiao and... the head of the Xiao family, I can forget what happened in the past. When I am at the Xiao family, don't let me see you!"
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Bo and said coldly.
“…”
Xiao Bo said nothing.
"Xiao Lin, arrange for someone to send Xiao Bo to the Cliff of Repentance tomorrow... Also, hurry up and capture Xiao Lei!"
Xiao Yi breathed a sigh of relief. This kid really is soft-hearted and will not take tough measures.
Fortunately, Xiao Bo did not participate in it that year, otherwise, his face would be useless and he would be dead!
"Yes, ancestor."
Xiao Lin nodded.
"Let me say this here. In the Xiao family, killing one's own clan is an unforgivable sin... Xiao Wei, Xiao Yunhong, and Xiao Lian have already paid the price! I don't want this to happen again. Otherwise, I will personally take action to clean up the mess!"
Xiao Yi looked around and said coldly.
"Yes, ancestor."
Everyone in the Xiao family nodded, even Xiao Mian.
"Okay, let's all go... There are some things that cannot be passed on to others. Do you need me to teach you?"
Xiao Yi said in a deep voice.
"clear!"
Everyone in the Xiao family nodded again.
Everyone here tonight are members of the Xiao family, and they are direct descendants!
The collateral relatives don’t live here at all.
As for the disciples of each hall, very few of them are better than Xiaoshan.
Therefore, if you want to block the news, it is not difficult.
Family disgrace should not be made public, and no one in the Xiao family was willing to make this matter public.
"Xiao Lin, take care of this place."
Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Lin again and gave instructions.
"Yes, ancestor."
Xiao Lin nodded.
Xiao Yi glanced at Xiao Wei lying in a pool of blood without any sympathy. It was all his own fault!
He walked slowly to Xiao Chen and asked, "How is your injury?"
"Nothing more."
Xiao Chen shook his head and said.
"We can just force out the remaining poison when we get back."
"That's good. Fortunately you are here tonight, otherwise your father..."
Xiao Yi said this and looked at Xiao Sheng.
He said this on purpose. If he wanted Xiao Chen to return to the Xiao family, he had to increase his sense of belonging first.
How to increase a sense of belonging?
The best way is to make them reconcile.
Hearing Xiao Yi's words, Xiao Chen frowned slightly and looked at Xiao Sheng.
Tonight was really dangerous.
If he wasn't there at the time, Xiao Sheng would have been finished in less than a minute or half a minute.
Once the poison invades the heart meridians, not to mention him, even gods can’t save him!
"Yes, thanks to Xiao Chen."
Xiao Sheng also nodded. He owed this kid a life!
"Wait a minute, I'll clear the remaining poison for you."
Xiao Chen thought about it and said to Xiao Sheng.
"No, tomorrow is fine too, just take care of yourself first."
Xiao Sheng shook his head and said.
"You don't want the remaining poison to invade your meridians and turn you into a waste, do you?"
Xiao Chen looked at him and said lightly.
Hearing Xiao Chen's impolite words, Xiao Sheng smiled bitterly. Forget it, he was used to it. Just now when he was about to die, this kid was even more impolite than this!
Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Chen, then at Xiao Sheng. What happened tonight was not entirely a bad thing.
At least this father and son are much closer than before.
Although it was thrilling, the result was good.
As for Xiao Wei...his death is not a pity!
If he could make Xiao Chen and Xiao Sheng reconcile, and let Xiao Chen return to the Xiao family, then his death would not be in vain.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yi decided to tell Xiao Lin first. Even though he was expelled from the Xiao family, he should still be given a proper burial.
Everyone in the Xiao family gradually dispersed.
Apart from a few of his relatives, few people sympathized with Xiao Wei's death.
You are asking for trouble, so who can you blame?
As for Xiao Chen, they were even more wary. Even if they were not on good terms with him, they could not offend him. It was too scary!
With Xiao Yunhong in front and Xiao Wei behind, the consequences of offending him are right in front of us!
