Chapter 2478

"Okay, okay."

Xiao Yi really couldn't listen anymore, and interrupted the two of them.

Is the position of the head of the Xiao family so bad?

Don't want to be?

It's too much!

Hearing Xiao Yi's words, Xiao Sheng and Xiao Lin fell silent, and everyone else looked at Xiao Yi.

"The matter of the head of the family, the old man will also think carefully... Besides Xiao Chen, Xiao Yu and Xiao Lin, what about you? Is there anyone else suitable?"

Xiao Yi looked around the audience and asked.

Xiao Mian looked at Xiao Sheng and Xiao Lin, and also said two names.

Xiao Bo hesitated, but in the end he didn't dare to speak, he himself is in danger now, what kind of patriarch is he talking about!

"Okay, the old man will think about it carefully. In addition... the old man feels that the Xiao family has reached a critical moment. One step forward, it may be heaven, it may be hell, so it is necessary to hold a patriarchal meeting."

Xiao Yi thought for a while and said slowly.

"The fate of the Xiao family should not be decided by the old man alone, and the old man can't bear this responsibility... The position of the head of the family will also be discussed at the elder meeting."

"Ok."

Xiao Mian quite agrees with Xiao Yi's words, the Xiao family has indeed reached a critical time, and it is necessary to open an old society.

"Xiao Mian, go and inform the retreaters, everyone will leave the retreat."

Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Mian and said.

"it is good."

Xiao Mian was startled, even those who retreated, are they going to come out?

However, he still nodded and agreed.

"Okay, let's call it a day."

Xiao Yi got up slowly.

"The elders meeting will be held the day after tomorrow."

As Xiao Yi got up, the others also stood up one after another and sent him away respectfully.

"By the way, Xiao Lin, you come with me."

Xiao Yi paused and turned to look at Xiao Lin.

Xiao Lin was taken aback for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, Patriarch."

Seeing Xiao Lin and Xiao Yi leave, everyone's eyes flashed, each with their own thoughts.

Xiao Sheng showed a smile, ignored the others, and left the meeting room.

When he was the head of the family, he had to do some things, such as dealing with factions, so as not to cause turmoil in the Xiao family.

But now... there is no need, he is just Xiao Sheng, not the head of the Xiao family.

Do you really think he has no temper?

He has.

It's just that the burdens and responsibilities on his shoulders were too heavy in the past, and he had to suppress his temper.

After leaving the chamber, he looked in one direction.

Xiao Chen was there.

He hesitated for a while, but after all, he didn't go over, and turned to deal with other things.

He didn't know how to face Xiao Chen, and he didn't know what to say when father and son met.

Most importantly, there are some things that he hasn't considered yet, how to explain them to Xiao Chen.

"Wait a little longer, without the responsibilities on your shoulders, and regaining your freedom, there are some things you can do."

Xiao Sheng muttered to himself, and looked away.

Not far away, Xiao Yi did not return to the place of retreat, but stood on a high place, looking at the destroyed white jade archway below.

Xiao Lin stood beside him, wondering what Xiao Yi meant by bringing him out.

"Back then, the old man was just like you. He was the pride of the Xiao family. Among his peers, he was unmatched."

Suddenly, Xiao Yi spoke slowly.

"The old ancestor... oh, let's call it that, he is quite old."

"..."

Xiao Lin was startled, looked at Xiao Yi, and told himself what to do.

"Back then, the old man also liked me very much, saying that I could lead the Xiao family to the peak and make the Xiao family brilliant... But I finally let him down."

When Xiao Yi said this, he pointed to the destroyed white jade archway below.

"Do you know why I built that archway back then?"

"I don't know."

Xiao Lin shook his head.

"Back then I also had great ambitions. I set up a white jade archway, and wanted it to witness the rise of the Xiao family, but I never expected...but now it is destroyed by the Xiao family's kid."

Hearing this, Xiao Lin's heart moved: "Old Ancestor, Xiao Chen..."

"Okay, I don't mean to blame him. If it's ruined, it's ruined. After all, I didn't let the Xiao family reach the pinnacle, so this white jade archway... don't worry about it!"

Xiao Yi waved his hand.

"Xiao Lin, what I can't do, you say... Can Xiao Chen do it?"

"can."

Xiao Lin nodded without thinking.

Hearing Xiao Lin's words, Xiao Yi turned his head to look at him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "How much better is that kid than the old man?"

"Hey, Patriarch, I didn't mean that."

Xiao Lin coughed dryly, as if he was a bit disrespectful to his ancestor.

"Forget it, I'm getting old, how can I compare with a young man, he is much better than me... You don't know how strong he is, the old man is indeed inferior."

Xiao Yi looked at the broken white jade archway again, where there were children of the Xiao family who were cleaning it up.

"You only think that he can fight half-step talent, but in fact...he is more terrifying than half-step talent, far surpassing half-step talent! Even to some extent, he is already comparable to talent."

Thinking of Xiao Chen's endless realm, Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes, even he was afraid.

"Comparable to innate?"

Xiao Lin's eyes widened.

"If it's not a life-and-death battle, I don't want to fight him... I'm in my twenties, and my strength is comparable to innate. I have never thought about it before, and I dare not think about it! Hehe, I didn't expect... My Xiao family has such a monster what."

Xiao Yi said with a smile.

"Old Ancestor, he... now doesn't admit that he is from the Xiao family."

Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Yi and said.

"The Xiao family's blood is flowing on his body. If he says no, he won't? Damn idiots, if it weren't for them, why would we be in today's trouble. "

After Xiao Yi spoke, he couldn't help cursing a few words.

Xiao Lin didn't make a sound, he knew who Xiao Yi was scolding, and he murmured in his heart that they were indeed some damned idiots.

"He will return to Xiao's house, for sure... for a while, you can help the old man make an appointment with him, and let him go to my place of retreat."

Xiao Yi said slowly.

"Go to your retreat?"

Xiao Lin was taken aback.

"Yes, he's all alone, and he'll come."

Xiao Yi nodded.

"Let's not talk about him now, Xiao Lin, do you really have no idea about the Patriarch of the Xiao family?"

"improper."

Xiao Yi shook his head and said bluntly.

"..."

Xiao Yi was speechless.

"Some people may want to be, but in my opinion, that is a shackle..."

Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Yi and said.

"Brother, he...has been chained by this shackle for more than ten or twenty years."

"Then when the old man wants to remove the shackles for him, do you still have any objections?"

Xiao Yi said lightly.

"Ok?"

Hearing Xiao Yi's words, Xiao Lin was startled, and then his eyes widened.

"Old Ancestor, did you do it on purpose?"

"The Xiao family has owed Xiao Chen and Xiao Sheng all these years...he should be free."

Xiao Yi said slowly.

"Do you really think that the old man has been in seclusion for so many years, regardless of the affairs of the Xiao family? The old man will also leave the seclusion, but you don't know it."

"what?"

Xiao Lin was startled, he really didn't know.

Even in the past, most people in the Xiao family didn't know whether the ancestor was alive or dead, because the place where he retreated was also a forbidden place, except for a few people, even the core children of the Xiao family were not allowed to go there.

"Although Xiao Sheng failed to make the Xiao family brilliant in these years, it is already rare to be able to hold the seat of the Twelve Aristocratic Family... The next Patriarch of the Xiao Family must be excellent, responsible, and capable..."

Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Lin and said.

"Old Ancestor, I now believe that you often go out of customs, otherwise... you wouldn't know me so well."

Xiao Lin said to Xiao Yi.

Hearing Xiao Lin's words, Xiao Yi was startled, and then couldn't laugh or cry, this guy... has a thick skin.

"The old man also understands now why you are getting close to Xiao Chen, you two are very similar!"

Xiao Yi smiled.

"You don't want to be the head of the family, that's fine, go fool around, no, do Xiao Chen's work, let him be the head of the family... As long as he does it, it will definitely be nothing to you."

"No, ancestor, what you said is a bit wrong, right? That kid is excellent, but is he really much better than me?"

Xiao Lin couldn't help but said, what does it mean for Xiao Chen to be the head of the family, it doesn't matter to him.

"Hahaha, that's fine, go and help me make an appointment with that kid, let's talk about the Patriarch's business."

Xiao Yi laughed, he was in a good mood.

"it is good."

Xiao Lin nodded.

"Should he go now?"

"Ok."

Xiao Yi nodded.

"Okay, goodbye, Patriarch."

After Xiao Lin finished speaking, he turned and left.

Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Lin's back and smiled even wider.

"Old Ancestor... My Xiao family should be prosperous, what do you think?"

Xiao Yi muttered to himself, then thought of something, and frowned again.

"In a world of great chaos, monsters are bound to emerge. Is what the old fortune-teller said true? Patriarch... Who is that person you mentioned back then? Could it be the old fortune-teller?"

Thinking of this, Xiao Yi's eyelids twitched wildly. If it's really the same person, then...it's terrible!

"Old fortune teller, who the hell are you!"

On the other side, Xiao Lin also came to look for Xiao Chen.

"He didn't come?"

Xiao Lin was a little surprised.

"No."

Xiao Chen shook his head.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I thought he would come to you."

Xiao Lin sat down.

"No, does he dare to face me? No."

Xiao Chen said lightly.

"Uncle Qi, how is your discussion going? How is the old man going to explain to me?"

"Don't talk to an old man. Calling 'Old Ancestor' will kill you? Calling him Old Ancestor will not let you suffer."

Xiao Lin glared at Xiao Chen.

"I suddenly felt that the ancestors are good, even better than I imagined."

"Uncle Qi, you are too easy to be fooled. If someone treats you a little better, you can't wait to spend your heart and soul."

Xiao Chen pouted.

"Can a bad guy write 'bad' on his face?"

"It's useless to talk less."

Xiao Lin was not angry.

"It was the ancestor who asked me to come to you. He asked you to go to his retreat to find him."

"I?"

Xiao Chen was taken aback.

"Yes, it's just you, and you're alone."

Xiao Lin nodded.

"Why are you looking for me? You won't take the opportunity to blackmail me, will you?"

Xiao Chen frowned.

"Nonsense, he wants to deal with you, so he needs to use black hands? He killed you before."

Xiao Lin stared.

"Let me tell you, be polite when you see the ancestor, understand? I can tell that he appreciates you..."

"That's also because of my strength. If I was just that trash back then, would he still appreciate me?"

Xiao Chen pouted.

"This……"

Xiao Lin opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"When I was a good-for-nothing, the Xiao family... only you were good to me, Uncle Qi."

Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Lin and said softly.
