After the excitement, it became a little quieter.
As the new head of the Xiao family, Xiao Lin spoke a few words and thanked all the guests.
After Xiao Lin finished speaking, Xiao Sheng also said a few words, including his expectations for Xiao Lin to be in charge of the Xiao family and his expectations for the future of the Xiao family.
Finally, it’s Xiao Yi’s turn.
He is the innate ancestor of the Xiao family, the mainstay of the Xiao family, and the person with the highest seniority!
Such a big thing naturally had to be announced by him.
"Brother Chen, I now believe that the stronger you are, the longer you will live."
Bai Ye looked at Xiao Yi and whispered to Xiao Chen.
"Of course. If you want to live long and not die, you have to practice hard and make yourself stronger! A hundred years old is nothing in the ancient martial arts world."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"The old man who refuses to die is a thief... People usually call him 'the old man who refuses to die'. This name is not very nice."
Bai Ye muttered.
"Then go and die."
Xiao Chen was annoyed.
“…”
Bai Ye said nothing.
"I am Xiao Yi, and everyone here should know me, so I won't introduce myself to you in detail... I have been in seclusion for many years. Now I am out. Not only has the outside world undergone earth-shaking changes, but so has the Xiao family!"
Xiao Yi was wearing a grey robe, had white hair and beard, and had an extraordinary temperament, looking quite like an immortal.
"Today, I have two announcements to make. One is that Xiao Lin will be the new patriarch of the Xiao family. Thank you all for coming to witness this. From today on, Xiao Lin will be the patriarch of the Xiao family and can represent our Xiao family!"
Xiao Lin turned around and bowed to Xiao Yi.
"Xiao Lin, I have said all that I should have said just now. In one sentence - I believe in your ability. From today on, you will be the head of the Xiao family. Just do what you should do without looking back!"
Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Lin and said seriously.
"Thank you, ancestor."
Xiao Lin nodded.
After Xiao Yi said a few more words, many people were curious about what the second thing he announced was?
Could it be related to Xiao Chen?
Many people looked at Xiao Chen. Did he return to the Xiao family?
I heard before that there was something going on between Xiao Chen and the Xiao family. Although the outside world didn’t know what the situation was, Xiao Chen had already left the Xiao family!
I'm afraid that this time I came back, it's also for the purpose of returning.
"The second thing is that I declare... Xiao Chen has returned to the Xiao family and is a member of the Xiao family! Similarly, he can also represent our Xiao family in the outside world. His opinion is the opinion of our Xiao family!"
Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Chen and spoke slowly.
Hearing Xiao Yi's words, Xiao Chen was stunned.
He was surprised that Xiao Yi chose to let him return, but actually he was not surprised.
What really surprised him was Xiao Yi's next sentence. In the outside world, can he represent the Xiao family? Does he mean what the Xiao family means?
Then, he looked at Xiao Lin and found that his Seventh Uncle's expression had not changed. Obviously... he had known about this for a long time!
Not only Xiao Chen was surprised, but everyone at the scene was also surprised, and then discussions were heard.
What Xiao Yi said has a profound meaning!
From now on, not only Xiao Lin can represent the Xiao family, but Xiao Chen can as well!
But thinking about it again, they felt it was normal. With Xiao Chen's current strength, he could also represent the Xiao family.
"Xiao Chen, today, you will enter the ancestral temple!"
Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Chen and said slowly.
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Yi, then at Xiao Sheng, Xiao Lin and the others, and smiled bitterly in his heart. Should he choose to let him come back in the end?
He talked a lot with Xiao Yi on Xiantian Peak, and finally gave the decision-making power to Xiao Yi.
He analyzed to Xiao Yi the pros and cons of his return to the Xiao family, and in fact the disadvantages outweighed the advantages.
At least that's the case at the moment!
But Xiao Yi still made a choice and let him return!
"Yes, old...ancestor."
Thoughts flashed through his mind, Xiao Chen took a deep breath, took a step forward, and bowed.
He almost called out "Lao Xiao", but thinking of so many people, he changed his words in the end.
Hearing Xiao Chen's address, Xiao Yi smiled and felt a little proud. Boy, I asked you to call me 'Old Xiao' for a few days, and see, now you still have to call me 'Old Ancestor'?
However, he still liked Xiao Chen calling him 'Lao Xiao', which seemed closer than 'Old Ancestor'.
Afterwards, everyone, including the guests, went to the ancestral hall together.
Of course, they didn't go in, but waited outside.
As the new head of the Xiao family, Xiao Lin was going to go in and pay homage to his ancestors, and then tell them about this.
This is a necessary procedure.
"Xiao Chen, you can come too."
Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Chen and spoke slowly.
"Enter the ancestral temple, pay respect to the ancestors, and tell them... that you have returned."
"good."
Xiao Chen hesitated, but still nodded.
"Walk."
Under the leadership of Xiao Yi, Xiao Sheng, Xiao Lin, Xiao Chen, including the elders of the clan council, also went in.
Witnessed by the clan elders, Xiao Lin and Xiao Chen bowed separately.
Xiao Bo also came. With such a big thing happening today, he came out of the Cliff of Repentance.
He looked at Xiao Chen with a complicated expression. Xiao Chen was back after all.
Thinking of the dead Xiao Wei and others, he sighed in his heart, if he had known this would happen, why did he do it in the first place?
In the end... he ended up not even being allowed to enter the ancestral hall!
After the Xiao family came out of the ancestral hall, the guests bowed and congratulated Xiao Lin on becoming the head of the family, and also congratulated Xiao Chen on his return.
"With Xiao Chen's return, the Xiao family...will surely prosper!"
Someone looked at Xiao Chen and spoke slowly.
"Not necessarily. The Xuantian Sect and the Ximen Family are targeting the Xiao Family. If the rumors are true, the Xiao Family will have more troubles in the future."
“Well, it’s not just Xuantian Sect and Ximen Family. Xiao Chen is holding a treasure, so there are still many people eyeing him.”
"Xuanyuan Sword?"
"yes."
"With his current strength, is there anyone who dares to attack him?"
"He can only fight against half-step Xiantian. In the ancient martial arts world, there are not many half-step Xiantian, but there are some. If they target Xiao Chen, there will be trouble."
"That's right. The Xuanyuan Sword is related to the inheritance of Emperor Xuanyuan. Even an innate master would be tempted... For a half-step innate, the innate road is cut off and they can't find the way up! And for the innate, their road is also cut off. What is above the innate? Why are the innates who exist now in seclusion? In addition to delaying the passage of life, they are also trying to explore what is above the innate and find a way."
"The ancestor of the Xiao family has come out of retreat. Zhuge Qingyang just said that the ancestor of the Zhuge family has also come out of retreat. I heard that there are several innate masters who have also come out of retreat recently... Tell me, why did the innate masters who used to be in retreat come out one after another? Is something big going to happen in the ancient martial arts world?"
"I think so too. Otherwise, why would they come out? It must be something big."
"It's not peaceful. We still need to strengthen our own strength."
For a while, there was constant discussion, and the news spread at the fastest speed.
Whether the Xiao family has a new head or not is not a big deal for the top forces.
But with Xiao Chen’s return, the meaning is different!
A half-step innate person in his twenties is too terrifying!
What made them feel even more terrified was that Xiao Chen’s true realm was not half-step to the innate realm, but the middle stage of the transformation realm!
This is even more terrifying!
It's too exaggerated how many small realms I have crossed!
And this also shows Xiao Chen's potential!
If Xiao Chen is given more time, will he be able to fight against the innate master?
Or when Xiao Chen's realm reaches the great perfection of Hua Jin and half a step to the innate realm, how strong will his combat power be?
Just thinking about it makes many people shudder!
Although some people had no grudge against Xiao Chen, they also had the idea of destroying him.
Because the rise of such a monster will definitely change the entire ancient martial arts world!
In the past, Xiao Chen was alone, but now... he has the Xiao family behind him.
It makes people even more fearful!
"Old Xiao, are you sure you won't regret letting me come back?"
Xiao Chen found an opportunity and asked Xiao Yi in a low voice.
"What are you regretting? The Xiao family cannot be rebuilt without destruction. If you want a new life, you must pay a price... Destruction will be accompanied by a new life."
Xiao Yi shook his head.
"Of course, there is another important reason for me to make the decision."
"What's the reason?"
Xiao Chen asked curiously.
"They are a perfect match."
Xiao Yi said four words.
"A good match?"
Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment. What did this sentence mean without making sense?
"Ning girl, Nangong girl, and the Ye family and the Zhuge family... Although our Xiao family is now in decline, it is still one of the Twelve Aristocratic Families, right? Only when you return can you be a match for them. This old man is considering your lifelong event."
Xiao Yi said with a smile.
“…”
Xiao Chen was speechless. Damn, so that's what was happening.
"No, Lao Xiao, you said Sister Fairy, Ling'er, and Ziyi, I recognize them all, there is nothing between Xixi and me, don't talk nonsense, I treat her as my sister."
"Hey, hey, weren't you calling me 'Old Ancestor' just now? How come you suddenly called me 'Old Xiao'?"
Xiao Yi stared.
"You can just yell a few times in front of outsiders. Do you take it seriously?"
Xiao Chen curled his lips.
“…”
Xiao Yi rolled his eyes. "Then you can at least yell for a few days, so I can have my fun, okay? It's been less than an hour, and you're back to square one again?"
But when he thought of something, he became serious again: "Boy, I have asked around. Now the outside world has been speculating about your strength. Many people have ideas about you."
"You have an idea? What? You want me to be your son-in-law?"
Xiao Chen looked amused.
"Seriously, they want to destroy you and take away the Xuanyuan Blade... You are so strong, many people think that you should have inherited the Xuanyuan Emperor's legacy. What they want is the Xuanyuan Emperor's legacy."
Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Chen and said seriously.
"Emperor Xuanyuan's inheritance would make even a congenital master excited."
"Yes, I understand."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Old Xiao, are you interested?"
"nonsense."
Xiao Yi was not happy.
"However, even if you are not a member of the Xiao family, I would not bother to rob you."
"Haha, if I really get the inheritance of Emperor Xuanyuan, I will tell you later."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"I can think of that, but this broken sword... other than being a little sharper and never losing when slashing against other swords, I still haven't found any inheritance from it, not even the tip of the inheritance."
“…”
Xiao Yi was speechless. If the outside world knew this kid's attitude towards Xuanyuan Sword, they would probably jump up and down.
