All the inner disciples of the Xiao family, all the elders, and the supreme elders all gathered together today.
Even Xiao Chenshi and Xiao Wenshan were released and stood beside the elder.
The people present all remained silent, with nervous and exciting expectations, just to welcome the arrival of one person.
The legend of the Xiao family, the founder of the Xiao family, the ancestor of the Xiao family, Xiao Shicai!
After experiencing a major investigation, the Xiao family became more in awe of Xiao Shicai than ever before.
Especially the few female elders who were promoted, their straight bodies were motionless, all in order to welcome Xiao Shicai.
Xiao Chenjie was now sitting sideways, looking at the female elder of the Xiao family thoughtfully, and sighed in his heart, "There are inevitably people who are not powerful enough to hold down their positions, and are not qualified for their positions, but just be obedient."
Xiao Chenjie stared into the distance and waited with everyone for Xiao Shicai's arrival.
Soon, the sound of water flow gradually emerged from the originally silent venue, and then pieces of ice crystals formed at the feet of everyone. As the sound of water flow became clearer and louder, the condensation of ice crystals completely filled the entire venue.
Before everyone could recover, Xiao Shicai stood beside Xiao Chenjie.
Xiao Chenjie was still staring into the distance, until Xiao Shicai gradually revealed his aura, and then Xiao Chenjie was shocked to find the trace of Xiao Shicai.
Xiao Chenjie was horrified and said in his heart, "In the Condensing Cauldron Realm, what is condensed is the domain. Within the domain, is the monk's own world. Monks cultivate between heaven and earth and cultivate the world within themselves. The higher the level of the Condensing Cauldron Realm, their domain The control becomes more and more skillful and unpredictable...control like this..."
Xiao Shicai's aura was revealed, and everyone looked at Xiao Shicai in surprise, demented and astonished.
Xiao Shicai glanced at Xiao Chenjie, who was in a state of turmoil in his heart, and smiled. He was calm and calm, while everyone in the world was speechless.
Xiao Shicai's sudden appearance shocked everyone and made them forget the entire frozen world. At this time, the world, even the space is glowing blue...
Xiao Chenjie quickly took the lead in saluting and said, "Welcome Xiao Zu."
The stadium was filled with salutes and cheers one after another.
First the Supreme Elder cheered, then the elders, and finally the Xiao family disciples. They all shouted, "Welcome Xiao Zu."
Xiao Shicai looked at the lowered heads of everyone present and felt the overwhelming dignity for the first time. Like pure gold. It's so dazzling.
Xiao Shicai chuckled and said, "Today, I have gathered everyone together because I have something to announce. Thank you everyone for coming."
When everyone heard Xiao Shicai's thanks, they had the urge to feel sore and ready to cry.
Because in their eyes, Xiao Zu actually thanked them! This makes them suddenly feel that their existence is meaningful!
Ordinary people will shed tears of gratitude even if they receive a word of thanks from someone above them! There may even be an outpouring of devotion.
Little did he know that these were just kind words from Xiao Shicai who was in a good mood. What's more, pretending to be grateful can earn you loyalty, so why not?
Xiao Shicai felt the enthusiasm of the crowd and turned around to directly give the right to speak to Xiao Chenjie.
Xiao Chen nodded and opened his mouth, focusing everyone's attention on him. "Xiao Zu was very shocked by what happened with the Sancai Clan. Therefore, I was sent to lead the elders of the Punishment Hall and some Supreme Elders to carefully investigate everyone in the Xiao family, including the disciples." With the elders.”
"During this investigation, the Punishment Hall punished fourteen elders who had eaten corpses, and selected fourteen more as new elders to replace the vacancies. Now announce the list of new elders!"
"Xiao Wenti! Liu Zheyan! Ye Huifeng! Li Buyue..."
Everyone listened to each name. When Xiao Chenjie finished reading all the names, he announced, "After this incident, Xiao Zu decided that in order to ensure the fairness of the Xiao family, he would conduct assessments on the elders from time to time. Examine the elders to see if there is any phenomenon of corpses eating without food."
All the disciples of the Xiao family were overjoyed when they heard this, feeling that finally someone could take charge of the elders!
As for the Xiao family elders, most of them had no reaction and were not afraid at all. After all, it was irregular. Do you really think that the Xiao family would be so fair? Just say it to appease people.
In other words, if you first make a decision that everyone accepts, the subsequent decisions will be easily passed as long as they are insignificant.
Sure enough, when Xiao Chenjie casually mentioned Xiao Wendi's return, not many disciples paid attention to it. After all, in their eyes, it was normal for Xiao Wendi, as a direct descendant, to return to the Xiao family.
Only some elders cared very much.
Xiao Wenshan stood among the elders and thought of his alliance with Qian Yangfeng. Thinking about it now, Qian Yangfeng probably doesn't need an alliance. Xiao Wenshan can only deal with his younger sister. Xiao Wenshan has already guessed that this time Xiao Wendi returns, she will become the daughter of the eldest daughter and the designated head of the Xiao family.
But Xiao Wenshan is no longer the Xiao Wenshan he once was. Now he only has goals in his eyes, and the difficulties in front of him cannot scare him.
Xiao Chenjie then mentioned Xiao Chenshi's task, which was to lead the new elders to get familiar with the Xiao family.
Xiao Chenshi cooperated and accepted the task.
Xiao Chenjie did not mention the Supreme Elder at all. It seems that this investigation has nothing to do with the Supreme Elder.
After saying everything, Xiao Chenjie let everyone disperse, leaving only Xiao Shicai and Xiao Chenjie.
Xiao Wenshan and Xiao Chen followed the crowd and walked out. Xiao Wenshan turned back and glanced at Xiao Shicai vaguely, and finally showed a smile. It’s not that I don’t hate this woman, it’s the rights she gave Xiao Chenjie that caused Xiao Wenshan to find himself in the situation he is in today. But Xiao Wenshan can only laugh, because now he does not have the strength to fall out.
After everyone dispersed, Xiao Shicai asked Xiao Chenjie, "How are Chenshi's children and Wenshan doing?"
Xiao Chenjie thought for a moment, "Observing the father and son these past few days, Xiao Chenshi is far less domineering than usual. He is gloomy all day long. He composes poems when he is not drinking. Xiao Wenshan, on the other hand, seems to be confused and sits down all day. It’s hard to sleep peacefully.”
After Xiao Shicai was moved for a moment, he nodded lightly and said, "Don't let the father and son live too unsatisfactorily. When everyone was called together this time, the father and son reacted a little more calmly, and seemed to be compromising. Especially Xiao Wenshan, in When he left, he looked at me specifically, and in the end he just smiled bitterly, without showing any resentment. It looked like he had given in."
Xiao Chen nodded and looked at Xiao Shicai. Xiao Shicai directly ordered, "Okay, they can't stare at each other all the time. It will have a bad impact on the entire Xiao family. Let's stop here. Just pay more attention to their father and son in the future. These days When Wen Di comes back, you should communicate with her well. There will be many things for her to do for the Xiao family in the future."
Xiao Chenjie nodded quickly, and Xiao Shicai disappeared directly, and the sound of ice crystals and water flow in the entire space quickly dispersed.
The changes in the Xiao family seem to have been completed, and at least the fragile pattern formed in the short term will not be broken again.
And the Qian family's structure will also be born. It was born out of Qian Yangzhen’s decision.
Through various means, Qian Kaishun has learned that a small number of the Xiao family's supreme elders have been sent to Chen Zhenbo's training place. The euphemistic name is meditation, but it is actually an exile.
After Qian Kaishun learned the news, he knew that Xiao Shicai had the entire Xiao family in his hands.
Qian Kaishun was even more looking forward to the day when he would take control of the Qian family, and he became more and more anxious. Just because the Supreme Elder of the Qian family once again refused to meet Qian Kaishun, this made Qian Kaishun very anxious.
Just when Qian Kaishun was worried, Qian Yangzhen arrived.
Qian Kaishun looked at Qian Yangzhen who came to him, changed his mind and behaved calmly.
Qian Yangzhen knelt down directly in front of Qian Kaishun. Qian Kaishun pretended to be stunned and asked, "Little granddaughter, what are you doing?"
Qian Yangzhen heard this
I called my little granddaughter and felt at ease.
Qian Kaishun rarely discusses his relationship with Qian Yangzhen's generation because they are not direct relatives. However, during these two meetings, Qian Kaishun mentioned the title "little granddaughter", which made Qian Yangzhen suspect that Qian Kaishun was deliberately guiding him.
After thinking about it for the past few days, Qian Yangzhen also guessed what Qian Kaishun wanted to do.
Although Qian Yangzhen himself finds it absurd, this seems to be the most feasible path.
Qian Yangzhen guessed that Qian Kaishun wanted to adopt him as his adopted granddaughter.
Thinking about his father Qian Rongming, and then thinking about what Qian Kaishun once said, Qian Yangzhen gritted his teeth and said, "Since the great grandfather has no children, why not accept Yangzhen as his granddaughter, which can be regarded as comfort to the orphan."
Qian Kaishun raised the corner of his mouth slightly, knowing that the matter was done, but he was not in a hurry to agree. Instead, he asked, "Is that so? How about I take in my granddaughter when I am in my twilight years?"
Qian Yangzhen looked at Qian Kaishun in shock, and Qian Kaishun smiled, "If I accept you now, wouldn't it mean that you would get into trouble with your third uncle Qian Ronghua?"
Qian Yangzhen hurriedly shook his head and said, "With the great grandfather negotiating with the third uncle, how could I have any quarrel with the third uncle? What's more, if the great grandfather doesn't accept me, I'm afraid I will still have disputes with the third uncle in the future. If you accept me, I won't I can make some contribution.”
Qian Yangzhen's words were already very explicit. Qian Ronghua couldn't say anything if he accepted her as his adopted granddaughter. If he didn't accept her, Qian Kaishun would still have a dispute with Qian Ronghua over his position as the head of the family in the future. It would be better to accept Qian Yangzhen and deal with Qian Ronghua and his son together.
Qian Kaishun smiled, waved his hand and said, "You are still smart. - However, this is a major event for the Qian family and cannot be rushed. After a while, I will arrange the ceremony myself, at least under the witness of all the elders, I will accept you as my wife." Adopted grandson."
After Qian Yangzhen listened, he felt trembling all over.
For so many years, I have had to rely on myself for everything. In order to prove myself, I have endured too much prejudice.
Now I finally have a backer. Finally able to achieve my goal. This sudden fulfillment of his wish made Qian Yangzhen feel suffocated and illusory, as if he was floating, not real at all.
After a long pause, Qian Yangzhen replied, "Everything is at Grandpa's discretion."
Qian Kaishun smiled and nodded.
Although they were using each other, the two of them still got a little closer invisibly. Somewhat inexplicable, but also somewhat destined.
Qian Kaishun directly told Qian Yangzhen, "Go back first. Let your father come tomorrow."
Qian Yangzhen nodded immediately, "Okay."
Qian Kaishun smiled. After watching Qian Yangzhen leave, Qian Kaishun also got up and walked towards where Qian San was.
Qian Kaishun's trip was to ensure that the entire Qian family belonged to him.
Arriving at the familiar door, Qian Kaishun stayed for a moment.
Outside the door, Qian Kaishun felt a hot breath, just like the sun shining on the river, hanging in the sky.
Qian Kaishun couldn't believe that this aura was emanating from his aging father.
However, this aura truly belonged to Qian San.
Qian Kaishun didn't know why and was at a loss.
"Come in!" Qian San's voice shouted directly, rebuking Qian Kaishun in his heart. Even the voices behind Qian Kaishun who were cursing him died down instantly.
Qian Kaishun felt that Qian San was full of energy and was shocked.
Qian Kaishun began to hesitate, should he enter?
For unknown situations, no matter who the situation comes from and whether it is logical or not, people will be instinctively afraid.
Qian Kaishun was afraid at this moment.
"I'll let you in!"
Finally, Qian San's order sounded again. There is no doubt about it.
Qian Kaishun seemed to have returned to the days when Qian San was in his prime, and back to the days when he was dominated by Qian San. As soon as his spirit relaxed, he opened the door.
