Hearing Xiao Yi's words, Xiao Bo, Xiao Wei and others' faces changed.
Pay the price?
There is definitely a price to pay, but we don’t know what that price is.
Unfortunately, Xiao Yi hadn't made up his mind yet, so they could only wait for the "verdict" in anxiety.
They looked at Xiao Mian with pleading eyes, wanting him to help say a few words. After all, Xiao Mian was half a step into the innate realm, and his status in the Xiao family was still very high, almost ranked second.
Even Xiao Sheng, the head of the family, is slightly inferior to Xiao Mian.
Xiao Mian noticed their gazes, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Seventh Uncle, Xiao Chen has already killed Xiao Yunhong and the others, do you still want to kill them all?"
"Kill them all?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Mian and sneered.
"Back then... they were able to kill a child, so why can't Xiao Chen kill them all now?"
Xiao Bo and others' faces changed again. Are they really going to be sacrificed?
Xiao Lin glanced at Xiao Bo and the others and sneered in his heart. After all, he would have to pay a price for what happened back then!
Are you scared now?
Too late!
If Xiao Sheng hadn't stopped him, if it hadn't been for the Xiao family's overall situation, if his strength hadn't allowed it... when he returned that year, he would have wanted to chop off a few heads!
"Seventh Uncle, Xiao Bo and the others are the elders of the Xiao family after all. If we let Xiao Chen do whatever he wants, I'm afraid there will be turmoil within the Xiao family, and it will also chill the hearts of the Xiao family's children."
Xiao Mian looked at Xiao Yi and said again.
"To take a step back, even if it's not for themselves, for the Xiao family, for the greater interests of the family, they can't die... After all, they are masters of Huajin, and they are the foundation of my Xiao family. If they lose too much, my Xiao family will probably be in trouble! Right now is a turbulent time, and there are still unresolved problems. If they knew that my Xiao family was in turmoil and lost several masters of Huajin, I'm afraid..."
Xiao Mian didn't finish his words, but his meaning was very clear. The Xiao family was in need of experts, and Xiao Bo and the others... could not die.
Hearing Xiao Mian's words, Xiao Yi frowned. If you look at it from this perspective, it is indeed true.
Now that the Xiao family is among the Twelve Aristocratic Families, their power is already declining. If they lose more masters, they will probably fall out of the Twelve Aristocratic Families!
Especially right now...someone is already provoking the Xiao family and wants to take action against them!
Thinking of this, Xiao Yi wanted to curse. The Xiao family used to be, if not ranked high among the twelve aristocratic families, then it was in the middle.
But in the past twenty years, the Xiao family has been in constant internal strife, and its ranking has continued to fall, and it has been overtaken by the later aristocratic families!
"If their death can bring Xiao Chen back, I don't think there's anything wrong with that."
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded.
Hearing this voice, Xiao Yi and others all turned their heads to look.
It’s Xiao Lin!
Xiao Bo and others' faces changed. What did he mean?
"We have all seen how strong Xiao Chen is. He has the strength of half a step to Xiantian. How many Huajin can he match?"
Xiao Lin glanced coldly at Xiao Bo and the others. What does it matter whether they are elders or not? They just need to say what needs to be said!
"As long as he can come back, everything will be worth it!"
"Xiao Lin, you... you dare to say that?"
Xiao Wei was angry. They were already on the edge of the cliff, and Xiao Lin's words clearly meant that he was going to kick them off!
"Especially... you, you are a waste. Even if you are alive, what use will you have to the Xiao family?"
Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Wei with a cold expression.
Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't say that.
But thinking about what happened to Xiao Chen today, if he wasn’t so strong that he could fight against a half-step innate cultivator, his ending today would definitely be bad!
Those who wanted to kill Xiao Chen back then have not changed their minds and still want to kill Xiao Chen.
No matter why they wanted to kill Xiao Chen, whether it was out of fear or something else, it didn't matter.
The important thing is that they want Xiao Chen to die!
That year, Xiao Lin went out traveling, and when he came back, everything was settled.
But now... he is involved in it, so naturally he has to make them pay the price!
Hearing Xiao Lin's words, Xiao Wei's face changed again, and he felt a little regretful... He had spoken too much just now.
In their lineage, he is now the most special one, but also the most worthless one!
waste!
In his own words back then, trash shouldn't exist in this world!
Xiao Mian didn't want Xiao Bo and the others to die. That was based on the overall interests of the Xiao family. The death of too many Hua Jin would also have an impact on the strength of the Xiao family.
But he was already useless, whether he was dead or not…it really didn’t make any difference.
He looked at Xiao Mian, but Xiao Mian glanced at him coldly and looked away.
Obviously Xiao Mian had no intention of speaking for him, speaking for a loser!
As a neutral party, Xiao Mian attached more importance to the interests of the Xiao family. As for whether Xiao Wei lived or died, he didn't care.
He also felt that Xiao Wei deserved to die. If it weren't for them, how could this happen?
If Xiao Chen is still a member of the Xiao family, then the Xiao family... will definitely have a brilliant future!
He protected Xiao Bo and others because they still had value in existence. Xiao Wei... a waste, what value did he have?
Taking a step back, Xiao Lin's words just now also made Xiao Mian's mind move and he had some ideas.
If the death of Xiao Bo and others can really make Xiao Chen return to the Xiao family and let go of any prejudices, then... it's not a bad idea!
Xiao Chen alone is worth the lives of Xiao Bo and others!
Especially Xiao Chen's potential, let alone Xiao Bo and others, even if Xiao Chen said that he wanted him to die and then return to the Xiao family, he might not object!
Speaking of which, he is just such a person. Even if he has some other ideas, as long as it is for the benefit of the Xiao family, he can sacrifice everything, including his life!
He can even sacrifice himself, let alone Xiao Bo and the others.
When Xiao Wei saw Xiao Mian's reaction, he felt a chill in his heart. It was over... If someone really had to be thrown out to calm Xiao Chen's anger, it would have to be him!
By then, even Xiao Bo and the others would definitely not speak for him!
If it were him, if Xiao Bo was a waste, he would not speak for him either.
"Ancestor, Xiao Chen alone can defeat thousands of troops... He is only a few years old, but he can fight against a half-step innate. His future achievements are limitless!"
Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Yi and spoke slowly.
Hearing Xiao Lin's words, Xiao Yi's heart moved slightly. It seemed that the relationship between the uncle and nephew was really close.
Then, he looked at Xiao Sheng again: "Xiao Sheng, Xiao Chen is your son, what do you say?"
"Everything... is up to the ancestor."
Xiao Sheng said slowly.
"Let me make the decision? Okay, then I will consider it carefully."
Xiao Yi nodded.
"Let's not discuss this matter for now."
After hearing what Xiao Yi said, everyone fell silent and Xiao Wei breathed a sigh of relief.
He was planning to run away.
Got to run.
If I don't run away, I'm afraid I will really be treated as a sacrifice.
"Xiao Sheng, I'll ask you again, if I tell you not to be the head of the Xiao family, are you convinced?"
Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Sheng and asked.
"Replying to the ancestor, Xiao Sheng is convinced."
Xiao Sheng nodded.
"good."
When Xiao Yi heard him say this, he looked around.
"As the saying goes, 'A country cannot be without a ruler for a day, and a family cannot be without a master for a day.' The position of the head of the family is now vacant. What do you think?"
Everyone glanced at Xiao Sheng. It seemed that his position as the patriarch had really been taken away from him.
Xiao Sheng didn't have any ideas. He was a little tired of being the head of the family for so many years.
Now that Xiao Chen has returned, it’s time to put an end to the matter.
After this matter is over, he will leave the Xiao family and do what he should do and find the people he should find.
Therefore, he felt more relaxed after no longer being the head of the Xiao family.
"Tell me, or recommend, who can be the head of this family."
Seeing that no one spoke, Xiao Yi spoke again.
"Ancestor, I have a suggestion."
Xiao Lin spoke.
"Oh? Tell me about it."
Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Lin and asked.
"Let Xiao Chen be the head of the Xiao family!"
Xiao Lin raised his voice.
Everyone was stunned when they heard Xiao Lin's words. Let Xiao Chen be the head of the Xiao family?
Xiao Bo and others' faces changed. If Xiao Chen really became the head of the family, then even if they didn't die this time, they would have no good days in the future!
“No!”
Before Xiao Bo and the others could object, Xiao Sheng spoke first.
"He is not suitable."
"Why not?"
Xiao Lin frowned. He didn't expect that the first person to object would be Xiao Sheng.
"The lineage of the head of the family is originally in your hands. If you don't take the position, it will naturally be handed over to Xiao Chen... Letting him be the head of the Xiao family has another benefit, which is that it will increase his sense of identity with the Xiao family. After all, he hasn't been back to the Xiao family for many years. This is a good opportunity! If the head of the family is made his own, he will also have responsibilities."
Seeing Xiao Lin looking at him, Xiao Sheng smiled helplessly: "Seventh Brother, do you think... he will be able to do it? Letting him be the head of the family is just your wishful thinking."
Hearing Xiao Sheng's words, Xiao Lin was stunned, and then felt a little dejected.
Yes, it's just his wishful thinking.
He had overlooked this just now. Based on his understanding of Xiao Chen, this kid would definitely not let the head of the Xiao family.
"Maybe...he will be the one?"
Xiao Lin was a little unwilling to give up.
"If we don't ask, how do we know he doesn't want to be the leader?"
“…”
After listening to Xiao Lin's words, everyone, including Xiao Yi, was speechless.
Since when did the position of the head of the Xiao family require someone to beg for help?
Don't want to be it?
How many people in the Xiao family want to be this person!
"Then even if Xiao Chen is not qualified, Xiao Yu can do it."
Xiao Lin took a step back. He couldn't give the position to Xiao Bo anyway.
"Xiao Yu is too young."
Xiao Sheng shook his head.
"Grandmaster, compared to Xiao Chen, I have a more suitable candidate for the head of the family."
"who?"
Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Sheng and asked.
"Xiao Lin."
Xiao Sheng pointed at Xiao Lin and said slowly.
"I?"
Hearing Xiao Sheng's words, Xiao Lin's eyes widened.
Then he waved his hands vigorously.
"No, no, I am too lazy to be the head of a family. I won't do it..."
“…”
Xiao Yi and others were even more speechless. How come the position of the head of the Xiao family seemed so bad and no one wanted to be it?
Xiao Chen doesn’t want to do it, and Xiao Lin doesn’t want to do it either?
"Seventh Brother, no matter from which aspect, you are the most suitable to be the head of the family...including Xiao Chen's side."
Xiao Sheng was not surprised that Xiao Lin would refuse.
"He has been close to you since he was a child. If you become the head of the family, you can also make him feel a sense of belonging to the Xiao family..."
"He has been close to me since he was a child, but that's because you, as his father, don't stay close to him."
Hearing this, Xiao Lin felt a little unfair for Xiao Chen and said with glaring eyes.
“…”
Xiao Sheng smiled bitterly. Aren't we talking about the Patriarch? Why are you talking about this?

Good night~
