The Xiao family's east courtyard was very big and there were many elders of the Xiao family. These elders were all in charge of different family matters. The Xiao family was big, so they didn't mention the hidden forces such as Misty Mountain Villa. Even the number of industries in the imperial capital and the various large cities was incalculable. All kinds of internal and external affairs of the Xiao family needed someone to manage.

The Four Great Clans were like four colossal beasts, occupying the entire War Dynasty s for nearly a thousand years, as their tentacles spread throughout the entire region. The shadows of the four great families could be seen in business, politics, the army, and every other industry. It could be said that War Dynasty created the four great families, and the four great families supported War Dynasty.

Ten years ago, Xue Yi, an exceptional expert of the Blood Dynasty, had said that the Four Great Clans would not be destroyed, the God of Army would not be killed, and the War Dynasty would not die. From this, one could see the astonishing position the Four Great Clans held in the dynasty.

Under the Old Master Chan's lead, Xiao Lang was almost dizzy in the East District. He entered an attic, and outside the attic, there was an eye-catching signboard "Internal Affairs Hall".

On the way, the Old Master Chan had already explained to Xiao Lang that the Internal Affairs Hall was the Law Enforcement Hall that regulated the internal affairs of the clan. Amongst the thousands of people, other than Xiao Busi, everyone else would need the approval of the Internal Affairs Hall to obtain a low levelled Xuan Artifact in their clan.

The Elder Xiao Qinglang of the Internal Affairs Hall was the fourth son of Xiao Buhuo. His authority in the clan was only second to the Patriarch Xiao Qinglong and the Elder Xiao Futu of the Hall of Blood.

Xiao Lang held onto Xiao Busi's order badge fearlessly, he strode in quickly, but was stopped the moment he entered the door. Two guards stood guard at the entrance of the hall. When they saw Xiao Lang barging in, they immediately took out their Xuan Artifact and bellowed: "Halt, who dares to barge into the Internal Affairs Hall?"

Xiao Lang had only just returned to the clan and had been holed up in his Cyan Robe Pavilion, so many of the clan's guards did not recognize him. However, Xiao Lang thought that Xiao Qinghu was deliberately making things difficult for him, and coldly shouted with raised brows: "Are you blind? You can't see the plate on my waist? "

Of course the two guards saw Xiao Lang's order badge, it was just that Xiao Lang was not 18 years old yet, his order badge was rather low class. There were so many third generation disciples in the Xiao family, and this was the most important hall in the family. The two guards obviously did not buy it, but their killing intent still locked onto Xiao Lang and shouted: "How dare you, you actually dare to scold us, a mere disciple with a yellow badge like you dare to be so arrogant here? Do you even know where we are? "

If not for Xiao Lang following Old Master Chan, the two guards would have immediately taken Xiao Lang away and brought him to the Law Enforcement Hall. However, since they were in the Courtyard of Xiao Family, the two of them naturally had to be more cautious.

"Do you recognize this command token?"

Xiao Lang was too lazy to bother with these two guards who looked down upon people, so he raised his hand and handed Xiao Busi's order badge over to the two of them.

"Plop!"

But the moment the token appeared, both of them were so frightened that they were half dead. They immediately kneeled down and said with fear and respect, "Your subordinate is guilty, greetings to the lord!"

The order badge in Xiao Lang's hand was black, but the word Xiao on it was gold, even higher ranked than Xiao Qingyi's order badge. This was the highest level medallion of the family, and seeing the medallion was like seeing the Patriarch.

Xiao Lang looked at Old Master Chan and the two of them walked inside.

The Internal Affairs Hall was extremely luxurious. The floor was covered with a carpet, and it was also extremely spacious. At the top most of the table sat a black clothed and luxuriously dressed middle-aged man. It was Xiao Qinglang.

Xiao Qinglang originally had an unsatisfied expression when he heard the commotion outside, but when he saw Xiao Lang and the Old Master Chan walk in, he immediately laughed and stood up to welcome them, "I say, who is it? So it's Nephew Lang today, what's the matter, to actually be willing to leave the Cyan Robe Pavilion, to come and see Fourth Uncle here? "

Xiao Lang forced out a smile and cupped his fists in salute: "Xiao Lang greets Fourth Uncle!"

The Old Master Chan also smiled and saluted. Xiao Qinglang waved her hand, smiling amiably as she pulled at Xiao Lang's hand and brought him to sit by the side. She said: "Why are you being so formal? We are all from the same family, someone serve tea! "

Xiao Qinglang was so courteous, Xiao Lang felt embarrassed, he touched his nose and said: "There's no need for tea, today I have something to trouble you with Fourth Uncle!"

Xiao Qinglang sat beside Xiao Lang, looking like a kind elder, and spoke without care: "What trouble does not trouble you, go ahead and say it, Fourth Uncle can do it, it's definitely not a secret!"

"Mm …"

Xiao Lang looked at Old Master Chan and went straight to the point: "It's like this, I wish to request for some Pill s and Esoterica s for Qian Xun. Is it difficult? "

"Oh!" So that's what happened! "

Xiao Qinglang had a look of sudden enlightenment, his eyebrows immediately knitted together, and said with great difficulty: "Qian Xun did not completely protect you with his Medicine King City, and caused you to fall into danger; originally, according to the clan rules, this matter should have been executed by him. However, since you and Xiao Ba have a relationship, the family will let him make up for it. If he bestowed more Pill s, it would be against the clan rules. "My dear nephew, the Xiao family is so large. Without rules, there won't be any grounds. If you come here today, I'll come tomorrow. If this goes on, the Xiao family will definitely fall into chaos …"

Xiao Qinglang spoke in a slow and steady manner, his head rising and falling, with an extremely troubled expression on his face, as if he was sighing deeply. Furthermore, based on their argument, Xiao Lang thought that it was very reasonable and didn't know how to reply.

After a while, Xiao Lang thought that since he had promised Qian Xun, he could not let him down, could he? He could only grit his teeth and say, "Fourth uncle, just …" Can't be accommodated? Fourth uncle's kindness, is something that Xiao Lang will remember in his heart! "

Xiao Qinglang hesitated, but after a long while he suddenly spoke to the Old Master Chan: "Old Master Chan, wait outside first, I want to have a private conversation with my good nephew!"

Xiao Lang's pupils contracted slightly as he looked at Old Master Chan. Old Master Chan gave him a look of warning and walked out of the courtyard.

Only then did Xiao Qinglang let out a long sigh and spoke with a serious tone, "Nephew, this matter is truly difficult to deal with. This year, the clan elders' association had issued a death order. Everything would be done according to clan rules, and once the clan rules were discovered violated, that was the order. Even if an elder was impeached, they would be dismissed at the very least, and at the very least, sent to jail. Why don't we, Fourth Uncle, take out a part of his stock and give it to Qian Xun? "

Xiao Lang was startled, he did not expect the matter to be so serious. Originally, he was somewhat dissatisfied with Xiao Qinglang, but at this moment, he changed his view of him, and said with a little shame: "How can this be … Fourth Uncle, if there really is no other way, then forget it, I will think of another way. "

Xiao Qinglang's frown deepened, and he sighed: "It's not like there isn't a way, but..."

Seeing that the situation was turning for the better, Xiao Lang immediately asked: "But what?"

"This... Forget it, forget it! "

Xiao Qinglang hesitated for a long time, then sighed again: "I can approve of this matter, but after being investigated, if the Hall of Elders impeaches me, I will definitely be removed from my position. But no matter what, Qingdi and I are twin brothers, we even killed Xue Manzi together in the northern border. How about this, nephew, leave a note and tell me what you requested. In the future, when the Elder Hall asked, Fourth Uncle would also have an explanation. "Hmm …" You don't have to worry about the Elders Hall stubbornly looking for trouble with you. They would dare to touch me but would absolutely not dare to provoke the Patriarch! "Just write a note and I'll approve it. You can pick up the item immediately …"

Xiao Lang's pupils suddenly shrank, the expression on his face did not change at all, and he continued to pretend to nod his head, as if he was grateful. He scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "Isn't Fourth Uncle also taking the risk?"

Xiao Qinghu had a bitter smile on his face as he shook his head and affectionately said, "If it was someone else, how could Fourth Uncle do this? Your nephew is different, Qingdi's child is my child, what's wrong with such a small risk? "

"Alright, I'll write!"

Xiao Qinglang immediately took down the brush and paper, and said very casually: "You can write whatever you want, this is what you want, just press your hand seal, and Fourth Uncle will write a note with you!"

Xiao Lang clumsily grabbed the brush, but his face had a dumbfounded look, he scratched his head in shame and said: "Fourth Uncle, I … I can't write, I grew up in the mountains, my aunt didn't teach me how to write, how about … You write it for me, and I'll press a fingerprint on it? "

Xiao Qinglang looked at Xiao Lang and confirmed that he did not look like he was lying. Helplessly taking the brush, he wrote a few words on it and turned to Xiao Lang and said: "Alright, just press your fingerprint!"

"Xiao Lang strongly requests that Qian Xun receive five saint rank Pill and five Heaven Rank manuals as evidence."

Xiao Lang took the scroll and scanned it. His pupils contracted again, and his mouth immediately curved into a demonic Qi arc. He looked at Xiao Qinglang with a cold smile, and mocked: "Xiao Qinglang, you see that I'm young and easy to fool, don't you? You actually tricked me? I didn't expect a dignified Xiao Clan elder to be so foolish. If this note is presented to the Hall of Elders, I'm afraid that your Elder position … I really can't protect it anymore! "
