C663 hand lifting knife falling

After a rain, the morning sun covered every inch of the city like gold. At the same time, it violently flooded into the Xiao Family's ancient villa, shining on the high-spirited Xiao Chaoran.

The current Xiao Chaoran did not look like he was forty years old. On the contrary, it seemed like he was 18 years old.

Drops of tears dripped down from Old Man Xiao Shuihan's eyes.

Initially, he directly ignored the objections of the crowd and made Xiao Chaoran the next Patriarch. The old Gramps had seen the good fortune in Xiao Chaoran's Inherent skill, but Xiao Chaoran's decadence over the years had already caused the Old Gramps to be secretly depressed.

Grief is greater than death.

However, the Xiao Chaoran from back then had finally returned. The young son that the old tutor was most proud of had truly returned. Moreover, his heroic spirit had returned like a tiger.

The old tutor was very excited, and his emotions were already surging. At his age, he was gradually losing control of the entire clan. As for Xiao Chenfei and the other big brother, they all had it on their wrists, but their courage and scope were far inferior to Xiao Chaoran's. Xiao Shuihan had understood this point for many years.

As such, he was not the eldest son. The only way to ensure the prosperity of a clan was to be in a position to do so.

Now that Xiao Chaoran had returned, the old man let out a long sigh of relief.

However, as brothers, Xiao Chenfei and the others all felt uneasy. Looking at Xiao Chaoran who was full of guts, all of them lowered their heads in shame.

"Any factors that are detrimental to our family, I will slowly eliminate them bit by bit." Xiao Chaoran gritted his teeth as he looked at Xiao Chenfei, and said with a cold voice: "Big Brother, what you said was right?"

Xiao Chenfei shuddered as he lifted his head to look at Xiao Chaoran's shining eyes. He panicked for no reason and laughed awkwardly, "Of course, we're all from the same family. Everything that we have done, we should think for the benefit of the clan. "

"That's good." Xiao Chaoran nodded, and his gaze swept across everyone present like a knife. In the end, with a "pa" sound, he slammed his palm on a table in front of him and shouted, "However, I know that it is difficult to unite the hearts of the people. It was fine, now that he stood up and told the truth, everyone laughed it off. But this time was over. I, Xiao Chaoran, will properly deal with these people. I was able to destroy the Flying Knife Hall last night, and kill Xi Muyun last night. Then, don't blame me for not remembering our old friendship in the future. "If you turn hostile and refuse to acknowledge me, your hands will just raise a knife and your head will fall to the ground."

This was a naked threat.

The atmosphere in the hall instantly became oppressive. Everyone felt a chill running down their spines to their spines.

Old Gramps Xiao Shuihan didn't say anything and just sat quietly on the seat of honor. At this time, he actually didn't express his opinion. It was as if he had tacitly accepted Xiao Chaoran's attitude. Like this, Xiao Chenfei and the others who were brothers kept quiet, not daring to make a sound.

However, Xiao Zhiyuan who was on the left side raised his head, and protested: "Fourth Uncle, haven't you become the Patriarch yet? Now, you're still the Patriarch that Grandpa became? "

Xiao Zhiyuan's words immediately attracted Xiao Chaoran's attention. Xiao Chaoran's gaze was very cold, and just stared at Xiao Zhiyuan for ten seconds. Then, with a sneer, he spoke slowly, "It seems that you were born a little too late. Some of the things that happened back then, you have no way of knowing. The ignorant are fearless, while the ignorant are fearless. "

Seeing that Fourth Uncle Xiao Chaoran's tone had suddenly softened, Xiao Zhiyuan became even bolder: "Grandfather is still here, Fourth Uncle shouldn't be taking these words too seriously right?"

"Not allowed?" Xiao Chaoran coldly snorted, and then picked up a fruit knife from the fruit plate on the saffron wood table. Without saying a word, with a swoosh, the fruit knife directly flew out from Xiao Chaoran's hand. Then, passing by Xiao Zhiyuan's ears, a strand of hair floated down. Finally, the fruit knife went into the wall behind Xiao Zhiyuan.

"Father is already old, and there are some things that are too much for him. In the future, I will take care of many matters of the clan for father. " Xiao Chaoran said in an unhurried manner, then suddenly looked towards his own father, Xiao Shuihan, and said with a calm expression. "Father, you made me the successor of the next generation back then. I'm still the me of the past. But you are growing old. "I think I should take care of a lot of things in the future, right?"

The moment these words were said, everyone's expressions changed instantly. This was simply pressuring the palace, as if the crown prince was forcing the old emperor to abdicate his throne.

Everyone's gaze turned to look at Old Man Xiao Shuihan. Xiao Shuihan's face turned gloomy, as he quietly looked at his youngest son, Xiao Chaoran.

Xiao Chaoran stood in place, allowing his clan's old man to watch. His face was calm, and his eyes were clear. He was detached from the world, unperturbed and unforgiving.

However, the old tutor smiled and nodded slightly. Xiao Chaoran's words seemed simple, but they actually had some meaning. Since you have made me your heir, you should trust me. Now, I'm back, as confident and high-spirited as ever. So, this time, you have to trust me as usual.

"Good, that makes sense." Old Gramps Xiao Shuihan consoled himself, and said sonorously: "Like you said, in the future, within the clan. You can use all of the power that the Patriarch has. It's time for you to take over. "

This sentence resounded in everyone's ears like a thunderbolt out of the blue.

Everyone present was stunned. The muscles on their faces were paralyzed, and their hearts were as dead as ashes.

"Thank you, Father."

This time, Xiao Chaoran respectfully bowed to his father. Then, he returned to his seat. Looking at Xiao Zhiyuan, he shouted coldly: "Zhiyuan, go brew a cup of Jade Spiral Spring for me. "Hurry, come back, I have something to say to you."

Xiao Zhiyuan stared blankly at him, then recalled what his grandfather had just said. He could not help but to make tea for his fourth uncle by exercising the authority of the family head. In Xiao Zhiyuan's eyes, Fourth Uncle was nothing more than a weakling. In the past few years, it could be said that no one had achieved anything in the clan. Anyone could bully him and step on his head twice. But now everything had changed.

His fourth uncle had suddenly turned from a sick cat to a tiger.

Waiting until Xiao Zhiyuan had left, Xiao Chaoran slapped the table again, and said sternly: "I'll say it one last time, if I have done anything to let the clan down. Then, step out as soon as you can and we'll laugh it off. But after this moment, I won't give you a chance in the future. "

Xiao Chenfei shivered, a trace of malice flickering in the depths of his eyes. In the end, it was as stable as a mountain sitting on a chair.

If Xiao Chenfei didn't step out, Xiao Chaoran's second and third brother would definitely sit down.

All these years, although Xiao Chaoran was the heir to the clan. However, Old Man Xiao Shuihan was no longer managing the matters of the family. All these years, the power within the clan was owned by Xiao Chenfei and his brothers. Now, even if the old man allowed Xiao Chaoran to take over the Patriarch's power. However, I am afraid that it will not be possible for the time being to exercise the full authority of the law.

When that time came, Yin Fengyang would disobey and let Xiao Chaoran know his power. In the end, who was in charge in the Xiao family?

Xiao Chaoran waited for a while. Unfortunately, no one came out. Xiao Chaoran sighed and shook his head. In the end, there was nothing more to say. No matter what happened, everything was done.

Xiao Zhiyuan quickly finished bathing in the Jade Spring and brought it up to his fourth uncle. After Xiao Chaoran took a sip, he said coldly: "Zhiyuan, this time the family will send you out to demonstrate their strength. However, you did not do this pretty well. You have offended a powerful enemy like the Europa Castle for our family, putting our family into the fire and water. After talking with Miss Blue at the Zuiyue Tea House last night, she wasn't very interested in our conditions. "

With a change of topic and a cold sentence, the atmosphere in the hall instantly turned cold.

Xiao Chaoran was clearly scaring monkeys by killing chickens. The pitiful Xiao Zhiyuan was the hairless chicken under Xiao Chaoran's blade.

Xiao Zhiyuan shuddered, and then said: "Fourth Uncle, this was not intentional on my part. Previously, I didn't know that Miss Blue was a member of the Europa Castle. "

Only, Xiao Chaoran waved his hands at this time, and coldly said: "Did you know? Miss Blue is the young miss of Europa Castle. "

The Xiao family only knew that Lan Mei’er was someone from the Europa Castle, but didn't know that he was Europa Castle's eldest miss. Actually, Xiao Chaoran was making this up to kill this chicken.

But sometimes it just happens. Lan Mei’er was indeed the big miss of the Europa Castle, Jin Gui.

This trick of Xiao Chaoran's caused everyone's face to turn pale white. Even if it was the Old Master Xiao Shuihan, at this time, his sword-like eyebrows were raised. Pah! A punch landed on the table before him.

And these older brothers of Xiao Chenfei's, all had a change in expression. And at this time, drops of cold sweat trickled down from Xiao Zhiyuan's father's forehead.

"Now, do you know how big of a disaster you have caused? This is a sect annihilation disaster, did you know that? " At this time, Xiao Chaoran's voice had instead become calm. Calmly, he said slowly: "You really have the guts to send people to kill the young miss of Europa Castle. How did our Xiao family have someone as courageous as you? I see, since you have the balls. Then, from tomorrow onwards, will you be running westward? In this life and for eternity, he was not allowed to return to the clan. If you can escape the Europa Castle's pursuit and survive, then you really have the guts. One could cultivate sheep and horses to occupy the land of the king in the northwest. That would be a good life choice. "
