The wine cup fell to the ground with a 'pa' sound that was extremely clear and loud.
The entire hall was stunned for a moment. He did not understand what Xiao Yi was doing.
"Xiao Chaoran, you are a man. I admire you." Xiao Yi wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth, bowed to Xiao Chaoran, and then said in a clear voice: "I am a person who repays debts. A bowl of wine with two vows of lofty sentiments. In the future, if you have any difficulties … "Regardless of whether I am at the ends of the earth, whether it is mountains of blades or seas of fire, I will definitely advance onward alone and cut two ribs for you."
Xiao Yi making such a promise at this time caused everyone in the Xiao family to be stunned.
The young Xiao Yi had quite a good relationship with the big miss of the Europa Castle, Lan Mei’er. Regardless of Xiao Yi's own strength, with Xiao Yi being involved in this matter, everyone would be envious and envious of him.
Only Xiao Chaoran himself knew that the person in question had stirred up a storm. When Xiao Yi put aside his relationship with Lan Mei’er, he was also Li Taibai's disciple.
Xiao Chaoran knew how important such a promise was. Therefore, at this time, Xiao Chaoran was so excited that he couldn't speak properly, and he could only stare at Xiao Yi in speechlessness. He just opened and closed his mouth, and there were thousands of words in his heart. However, he was so excited that he lost his ability to speak.
"Oh yeah, Mei Er is my fiancee." Xiao Yi was unrelenting in not giving up.
The great hall was in an uproar, as everyone looked at Xiao Yi with grave expressions.
Since Xiao Yi was Lan Mei’er's fiancé, then Xiao Yi's status in the Europa Castle would naturally be quite important. Furthermore, being able to become Lan Mei’er's fiancee, even a pig would understand that Xiao Yi was definitely not a simple person.
A phoenix would never marry a pig. Especially a large clan like the Europa Castle, it was even more impossible for a young miss to be married to a nobody like Lan Mei’er.
At this time, the old man Xiao Shuihan could not help but pick up the cup of wine in front of him and finish it in one gulp. Even though Xiao Shuihan had experienced many things, he still needed wine to strengthen his courage.
A single Hongmen had pressured the entire clan to the point where they couldn't even breathe, but a colossus like the Europa Castle was only heard of in legends. The young man in front of him was actually the fiance of the young miss of Europa Castle. Then, the identity of this person could be imagined.
In that moment, Xiao Shuihan felt that he was inferior.
At this time, Xiao Chenfei felt a wave of dizziness. He sighed secretly. What a terrifying enemy Xiao Yao had offended this time. Just the thought of it sent a shiver down his spine.
At this time, the faces of Xiao Moyu and Li Yao became even darker. After the two of them got to know each other, a bitter smile appeared on their lips.
No matter how deep the hatred was in their hearts, at this moment, Xiao Moyu and Li Yao had both let go of the hatred in their hearts. Because when they found out that the enemies in front of them were invincible, the two of them were unwilling to give up on this enmity.
It was just that, regardless of how much hatred the Xiao family had towards him, Xiao Yi, since he was here, he had to participate in this feast. In that case, it was impossible to draw a clear line between the two sides.
"Oh right, my master is Li Taibai. Many years ago, there was a year called the year of Taibai Jinxing. " Xiao Yi closed his eyes, as if he was narrating a casual matter.
With that, the wine cup in Xiao Shuihan's hand fell onto the ground with a bang. Unable to stand the agitation in his heart, he immediately stood up to take a look. His eyes were sharp like a torch, he looked at Xiao Yi and asked anxiously: "You said that your master is Li Taibai, and the Li Taibai that changed the color of the world back then? Li Taibai who had fought against the entire Hongmen alone? You said that Li Taibai changed her color when talking with him? "
Xiao Yi slightly smiled, and said casually: "Yes, my master is indeed a man of his word. When we were escaping from the rain, I was able to witness it. "
Xiao Chaoran did not speak about the matter of his escaping in the rain. After all, there were too many secrets involved in this matter. But now, Xiao Yi had brought it up. Xiao Chaoran nodded, and agreed: "Yes, I can testify to this matter. At that time, when they were chasing after him in the rain, the Seventh Uncle of the Miss Blue and Xiao Yi's master had both revealed themselves. That's why we can escape from danger. "
When Xiao Shuihan heard Xiao Chaoran's testimony, his entire body swayed. Then, he sat down on a chair with a loud boom and muttered, "The disciple of Mr. Tai Bai, the eldest miss of Europa Castle, has begun to travel the world. It looked like this year was yet another era of change. "We are all old, we are all old …"
In a moment, Xiao Shuihan's straight back bent down. It was as if he would never be able to raise it again in his entire life. Xiao Shuihan knew that this kind of era that appeared in large numbers was no longer his, Xiao Shuihan's, era.
Fortunately, Xiao Chaoran and Xiao Yi had formed a relationship. Otherwise, because of what Xiao Zhiyuan and Xiao Xiaoyao had done, the Xiao family would be annihilated soon.
The faces of the Xiao Chenfei brothers all became deathly pale. All of them were trembling like little chickens that had been drenched by the rain. They sat in their seats and didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
"There are some things that I didn't want to say."
Xiao Yi squinted his eyes, unperturbed. He didn't want to drag out his master, nor do he want to pull out these secret connections. But he had to say it at this moment, because he wanted to establish his authority.
Looking at his own mother, Ding Yiran's face was pale white, looking extremely haggard. Therefore, he was prepared to do something grand and honorable. He was prepared to give a huge gift to his parents.
"I've said so much, but I feel that in these turbulent times, the survival of a family was imminent. The Xiao family was indeed strong, but there were people beyond the mountain. "Now that the Xiao family has transcended the rules, I still think very highly of them."
Following that, Xiao Yi's eyes narrowed as he looked at Li Yao: "Mr. Xiao, you look haggard. It seemed that he had been working hard for the Xiao family all these years. Now that Zenith has returned, why not let go of the real power in his hands. Buy a piece of land on the Huangpu River and spend your last years in peace. Normally, the Huangpu river was covered with beautiful scenery, especially at night. The lights are bright and the cruise ship is flashing.
After Li Yao heard this, his entire body shivered. His face paled as he looked at Xiao Yi with resentment.
"I'm just suggesting." Xiao Yi suddenly frowned, and opened his mouth to speak with a slightly worried tone: "Recently, Miss Blue has been in a bad mood, not very well. These few days, it could be said that he had become a bit restless. After all, the murder of the young miss of Europa Castle in the rainy night was a form of humiliation to the Europa Castle. Mr. Xiao, was what you said right? "
Xiao Shuihan squinted his eyes, and a ray of light suddenly shot out from his cloudy eyes. He suddenly understood what the current Xiao Yi really wanted to do. After he found out about Xiao Yi's motive, a bitter taste surfaced in his heart.
After Li Yao's body swayed, he looked at Xiao Yi and asked, "Do you have any other choices?"
Li Yao understood that Xiao Yi was using the Europa Castle to threaten him, and Xiao Yi was using the Europa Castle to pressure him. The meaning behind his words was obvious, if you did not call out the real power in your hands, then Europa Castle would come and attack you head on.
It was needless to say that the words of a wise man were very clear.
Xiao Yi laughed: "Back then in that torrential downpour, did we have any other choice but to flee? Back then in the underground passage, would Li Guangbiao's group of people be merciful with their long blades? "
In that moment, Li Yao finally raised his head and laughed sinisterly. The mournful sound echoed throughout the hall, causing everyone's mood to fall.
"Alright, alright." Tears filled Li Yao's eyes. Even though he had done many things that were unfair to his fourth brother in order to usurp power. However, after all, he had served the family for decades as if it were a day, serving as if it were a dog or a horse. Now, because of this sentence, everything was gone. All the hard work, all the effort, all the hard work, all of it went down the drain.
"If I give up everything, will you let me go?" Li Yao no longer extravagantly asked to let Xiao Zhiyuan go, he just wanted to protect his wife and daughter. Her wife, Liu Wen, had recently grown old and had given birth to a little girl. Even if he, Li Yao, had already lost his heart, for the sake of his newly born daughter, he had to give in.
"Of course." Xiao Yi was still as casual as before, as he casually said, "My mood is good, but Mei Er's mood is good. Once Mei Er's mood is better, she'll naturally be magnanimous. "
"Alright then." Li Yao was also a role, and spoke without hesitation. "I, Li Yao, am willing to give up everything I have, and all of my strength in the clan. From today onwards, I will listen to your arrangements, Mr. Xiao. "Go to Huangpu river and live in peace."
Every word was exceptionally clear and loud.
Li Yao was crying blood in his heart. When he was at the peak of his power, who would be willing to give up everything in their hands?
"Alright." Xiao Yi picked up a cup of wine from the table and spoke boldly: "After drinking this cup of wine, we have a deal."
"It's a deal."
Li Yao enunciated every single word, then raised his cup. After clinking it with Xiao Yi's, he drank it all in one gulp.
Li Yao raised his neck, and the wine flowed down his throat. Tears fell down drop by drop into the cup. Along with the wine, they were swallowed by Li Yao in one gulp.
The wine was strong, the tears were astringent, and life was bitter.
On the left side, his wife Liu Wen cried. At this moment, a loud, mournful cry rang out, "Yao, don't, don't!"
Liu Wen understood that when Li Yao made his decision, he looked in's direction emotionally. That look was filled with a deep sense of tenderness. She knew that the reason why Li Yao was asking for it was because he had a bond in his heart.
And this restraint was her, Liu Wen, and her newly born daughter.
