343 Ye Xuan Takes Action
Ye Xuan didn’t have much to pack up, let alone A’Tian and Xiao Mingyan. One was an orphan, and the other had cut off all ties with the Xiao clan. They didn’t alert anyone when they left Jade City.
They had just reached the outskirts when Ye Xuan suddenly stopped, “You’ve been following us for a long time. I don’t know what you want, so why don’t you come out and meet us?”
Xiao Mingyan and A’Tian immediately became alert. They looked around, but there was nothing.
“Young man, you have good eyes,” An old voice rang out. At the same time, the air became distorted, revealing someone in a gray robe.
After seeing clearly who the person was, Xiao Mingyan was very surprised, “Ancestor, why are you here? ”
Xiao Yi nodded, “Since you still call me your ancestor, it means you haven’t completely forgotten about the Xiao clan.”
Xiao Mingyan’s expression was a little complicated. When those things happened, Xiao Yi had been traveling outside. Now that he had returned, he must have heard the news.
Xiao Yi’s eyes fell on Ye Xuan, sizing him up and probing him.
“For this little fellow to have managed to discover my existence, it seems that you are not simple. I heard that you came from Jingdu. May I know what sect you come from?”
According to the information that the Xiao clan and he had obtained from their investigations, after Xiao Mingyan had lost the supreme dragon bone, he had been chased out of the Xiao clan by Xiao Wuyou, becoming homeless. Thinking that he would not have many days left to live, Xiao Wuyou had not paid any attention to his whereabouts after that.
Who knew that when he reappeared, he would become such? No matter how much they investigated, they couldn’t find out what he had experienced. Ye Xuan was also a mystery to them.
“I’m from Tai Qing Sect.”
Xiao Yi thought about it for a long time, but he had no impression of this sect. Could it be some hidden sect?
Although Ye Xuan couldn’t see through him, he was sure that even if the latter had extraordinary strength, no matter how strong the other party was, he couldn’t possibly surpass him given his young age.
“I already know what happened in the Xiao clan. You’re a good child. I’ve already killed that b*tch Liu Ruxue for making you suffer so much in the past. Now that Xiao Wuyou has become a cripple, you can be considered to have been avenged. As such, you should return to the Xiao clan.”
Xiao Yi’s methods were swift and decisive, and this was also his sincerity.
However, Xiao Mingyan was quite reticent as he said, “Thank you for your kind intentions, ancestor, but I’ve already decided to leave the Xiao clan and explore the world.”
Xiao Yi’s expression changed slightly, “No matter what, the Xiao clan has raised you for decades. Liu Ruxue and Xiao Wuyou have received the punishment they deserve. I will also make your father apologize to you. When you come back, you will be the new patriarch of the Xiao clan too.”
Xiao Mingyan was already tired of living in the Xiao Manor. Most importantly, back when he was in trouble, the elders in the clan should have received the news. Yet, no matter before or after, no one came forward to speak up for him.
His heart had long turned cold. No matter how beautiful Xiao Yi wove his words were, he would not go back.
“Thank you, ancestor, but I’ve already made my decision. Furthermore, I’ve already left the Xiao clan and have nothing to do with the clan anymore.”
Xiao Yi felt that his attitude was already very humble. He could even be said to be acting very submissive toward a junior. Yet, Xiao Mingyan still kept rejecting him. The former really didn’t know what was good for him.
“You have to remember that Xiao is your family name, and the Xiao clan has also raised you. Do you think you can cut ties just because you say so? It’s too disappointing.”
Xiao Yi rarely appeared in public, and Xiao Mingyan had only met him once when he was very small. His memory of the other party was blurry, so it was impossible to say that there was any kinship between him and Xiao Yi.
It was just that Xiao Yi didn’t want him to leave the Xiao clan. Everyone could see that Xiao Mingyan was no ordinary person. Moreover, Xiao Wuyou had already become a cripple, and there were no other outstanding talents among the younger generation.
“Isn’t the supreme dragon bone enough to repay the debt of raising me? Besides, I haven’t held it against Xiao Hong and Liu Ruxue for what they did to me.”
Xiao Yi was slightly angry, “Those people have already been punished. Are you going to give up on your blood relatives just because of this?”
“Ancestor, you don’t have to use kinship to pressure me. When I was in trouble, the Xiao clan just stood by and watched. I’d rather not have such relatives.”
Xiao Mingyan’s words left Xiao Yi speechless. After living for so long, this was the first time he knew what awkwardness was, and he was suddenly embarrassed.
Seeing that the gentle approach was useless, Xiao Yi could only resort to force, “No matter what, you must return to the Xiao clan today. You have the blood of the Xiao clan in you. You can’t leave as you please!”
As he released his aura, Xiao Mingyan felt a huge pressure and was unable to move. His expression was cold, “Ancestor, what do you mean by this?”
“Even if I have to tie you up today, I’m going to bring you back.”
After saying that, Xiao Yi was about to make a move, but a sharp sword Qi came from behind.
“You want to take him away in front of me? Don’t you have to ask for my opinion?” A lazy voice sounded, breaking the stiff atmosphere between the two.
Xiao Yi said coldly, “Little fellow, I advise you not to meddle in other people’s business. This is the Xiao clan’s matter.”
“What if I insist?”
Xiao Yi turned around and met Ye Xuan’s eyes. In an instant, sparks flew everywhere as if two universes had collided.
The air was filled with the thick atmosphere of a fight.
Looking at Ye Xuan who was pointing his sword at him, Xiao Yi’s eyes flashed with ruthlessness, “Very good. I haven’t seen such a brave young man for many years. I hope you don’t regret it.”
Ye Xuan retorted sarcastically, “I’ve never seen an old man as disrespectful as you either. He said he didn’t want to go back, yet you still insist on taking him back. The Xiao clan is so thick-skinned, from young to old.”
Xiao Yi was so angry that he couldn’t speak, “You have a sharp tongue! Let’s see what you’re capable of.”
