Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Xiao Lin was startled, then shook his head: "Boy, don't think about what happened back then."

"You may not want to, but I will never forget."

Xiao Chen said slowly.

"Hehe, does that mean that Seventh Uncle, I have better eyesight. When you were young, I saw that you are not a creature in the pool, and you will turn into a dragon when you encounter a storm?"

Xiao Lin said with a smile.

"Or that phrase is used badly, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't bully the young and poor... Now that you have risen, those who looked down on you back then are no longer able to climb up."

"Uncle Qi, some things can be forgotten, some things... can't be forgotten, and can't be forgotten."

Xiao Chen shook his head and said seriously.

"Okay, don't make it so heavy. Just now in the meeting hall, we discussed what to do. The ancestor said that he would think about it carefully, and the other is the position of the head of the family."

Xiao Lin picked up the tea brought by the maid and took a sip.

"Is he really not the head of the family?"

Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Lin and asked.

"Inappropriate."

Xiao Lin shook his head.

"It's a good thing for him not to be the head of the family."

"Good thing? Why do I think he is happy to be the head of the family, and now he is deprived of his identity, how painful he is, right?"

Xiao Chen mocked a little.

"Boy, you have misunderstood him... There are some things that he doesn't want to do, but he has to do."

Xiao Lin said to Xiao Chen.

"People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves... Back then, the old patriarch asked him to be a man. He didn't want to be a man, but he couldn't help it."

"Who is the next Patriarch?"

Xiao Chen changed the subject, he didn't want to care about whether Xiao Sheng wanted to be or had to be.

"I haven't decided yet, but there are a few choices now... After all, it is related to the Xiao family and cannot be decided lightly."

Xiao Lin shook his head and said.

"The ancestor also said that we must choose an excellent, talented and generous person to be the head of the family..."

"Then Seventh Uncle is very suitable."

Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Lin and said.

"Um... are you flattering?"

Xiao Lin was a little speechless.

"Boy, don't you have any ideas?"

"What do you think? Be the head of the Xiao family?"

Xiao Chen was taken aback.

"Yes, to be the head of the Xiao family."

Xiao Lin nodded.

"Uncle Qi, don't be ridiculous, I am not suitable to be the head of the Xiao family... Do you think I am suitable?"

Xiao Chen was a little speechless.

"It fits, I think it fits well."

Xiao Lin nodded.

"Not only do I think it is suitable, but the ancestor also thinks it is very suitable. As long as you nod your head, I think the position of the Patriarch of the Xiao family is almost secure."

"Nor do that."

Xiao Chen shook his head, he was really not interested.

"I knew it."

Xiao Lin was helpless.

"Uncle Qi, they didn't let you be the head of the house? Blind?"

Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Lin and asked.

"Give it up, but you also know Uncle Qi's temperament, how can I be the head of the family."

Xiao Lin waved his hand.

"I've been a libertine all my life and love freedom."

"hehe."

Hearing Xiao Lin's words, Xiao Chen smiled, it was true.

"Let's not talk about it for now. Anyway, this matter is not up to us to decide. Let's leave it to the ancestors."

Xiao Lin took another sip of tea.

"What about your injury? Are you okay?"

"Not yet, is Tianyuan Pill really a panacea? But...it won't affect another fight."

Xiao Chen smiled.

"So, it's best for the Xiao family not to provoke me again. If you provoke me, you can still kill a few people."

"No, after today's incident, who would dare to provoke you... Okay, since the injury is fine, then go see the ancestor."

Xiao Lin said and got up.

"Go, I'll take you there."

"it is good."

Xiao Chen nodded, just now when he said that Xiao Yi was playing tricks, he just said casually, he didn't think Xiao Yi would play tricks on him.

"Where are they? Are they resting? I arranged for them to have dinner?"

What did Xiao Lin think of and asked.

"Well, Uncle Qi can make some arrangements... The Xiao family won't care about food, right?"

Xiao Chen smiled.

"How is it possible, Fairy Ning is still here, how could the Xiao family be rude... You go to the ancestors first, and I will arrange them."

Xiao Lin said to Xiao Chen.

"it is good."

Xiao Chen nodded, went to say hello to Ning Kejun and the others, and left with Xiao Lin.

Ten minutes later, they came to another mountain peak.

"This is the forbidden area of ​​the Xiao family, privately called the 'Xiantian Peak' by the Xiao family's children, that is to say, the place where the ancestors of the Xiantian retreated."

Xiao Lin introduced to Xiao Chen.

"Well, I used to come here to play when I was young, but I was stopped... But I haven't heard of Xiantian Peak or anything like that."

Xiao Chen looked at the mountain.

"Uncle Qi, are all the people in the Xiao family's retreat here?"

"No, there are only Xiantian ancestors here."

Xiao Lin shook his head.

"Let's go, let's go up."

Xiao Lin led Xiao Chen up the mountain, and when he was halfway up the mountain, he stopped.

"I'll take you here, go up by yourself."

"Row."

Xiao Chen nodded and looked at the sky.

"Do you think the old man can keep me for dinner?"

"have no idea……"

Xiao Lin was speechless, what was he thinking.

"Okay, then I'll go up."

After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he continued to walk along the steps.

Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Chen's back, hoping to have a good chat with the ancestor.

Then he also turned around and went down the mountain.

Xiao Chen walked up the steps, and the scenery was not bad.

"It's a luxury for one person to occupy such a large mountain."

Xiao Chen muttered and said.

A few minutes later, he came to the top of the mountain, and then... some surprises.

In his mind, if one person occupies a mountain, he must build a large building and retreat inside.

As for the cave or something, that's nonsense in martial arts dramas, or it's just looking for abuse.

But what Xiao Chen didn't expect was that it would be a small wooden house.

Outside the wooden house, there are flowers, plants and even a vegetable garden.

"No wonder he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead. This is self-sufficient."

Xiao Chen glanced around and continued walking forward.

"coming."

A gray figure appeared, it was Xiao Yi.

"Yes, Senior Xiao."

Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Yi, who appeared silently, and cupped his hands. There is still a proper etiquette.

"Why, can't you call me 'Old Ancestor' when there is no one around?"

Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Chen and asked.

"I think it's better to be called Senior Xiao. If you call 'Old Ancestor', you will be called old."

Xiao Chen said with a smile.

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Xiao Yi was taken aback, and then smiled: "Forget it, it's up to you, come in."

"it is good."

Xiao Chen nodded and followed Xiao Yi into the wooden house.

The wooden house is also very simple, without any luxurious decoration, just a table and two chairs.

"What, is it a surprise?"

Xiao Yi noticed Xiao Chen's gaze and asked.

"Well, kind of."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"Hehe, what do you think?"

Xiao Yi smiled and pointed to the chair.

"Sit down, the Xiao family is qualified to enter this wooden house, and there are only a handful of people sitting on chairs."

"Deeply honored."

Xiao Chen sat down.

"Do you like tea?"

Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Chen and asked.

"Can."

Xiao Chen nodded, he behaved quite well, after all he was not familiar with it.

"You don't need to be so restrained, and you're not an outsider... Whether you admit it or not, you and I have the same blood in our bodies."

Xiao Yi said, and started to make tea.

Xiao Chen didn't pick up the words, because it was indeed the truth.

A few minutes later, Xiao Yi made tea and put a cup in front of Xiao Chen.

"Try it, it's not some famous tea, it's the night tea tree on this mountain, I picked it myself and fried it myself."

Xiao Yi said with a smile.

"it is good."

Xiao Chen nodded, picked up the cup, and smelled it first, a faint fragrance entered his nostrils.

Afterwards, he took a sip lightly and his spirit lifted slightly.

"How about it?"

Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Chen and asked.

"very good."

Xiao Chen nodded.

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Xiao Yi was taken aback, just two words? Is it a bit too perfunctory? How about some compliments?

"Hehe, it's hard to have words to describe this cup of tea. All I can think of are these two words, very good."

Xiao Chen took another sip and said seriously.

"If I have to say it, I can only add one more sentence."

"What words?"

Xiao Yi asked curiously.

"Could you give me some when I'm leaving?"

Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Yi and asked.

"..."

Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Chen, is he serious?

"Why, senior Xiao is not willing?"

Xiao Chen asked with a smile.

"Hahaha, willing, of course willing."

Xiao Yi laughed out loud.

"As long as you ask, the Xiao family can give it to you."

Hearing Xiao Yi's words, Xiao Chen frowned slightly, pretending he didn't hear anything.

"Is there nothing you want to ask?"

Xiao Yi also took a sip of tea and asked.

"Have."

Xiao Chen put down the teacup.

"Senior Xiao seems to know that I'm coming?"

"Know."

Xiao Yi nodded and admitted.

"I didn't know you'd be here today, though."

"Senior Xiao knows the old fortune-teller?"

Xiao Chen asked again.

Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Chen, and slowly put down the teacup: "I know him, and he told me that you want to come to Xiao's house."

Xiao Chen was not surprised, he had guessed it before.

When he didn't come, the old fortune teller also told him that he was sure that the ancestor of the Xiao family was not dead, but he would not interfere in this matter.

He didn't think much about it at the time, but after he came, Xiao Yi's reaction made him guess.

"Didn't it mean that the Xiao family is immortal, and the innate will not come out? Why...Senior Xiao appeared."

Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Yi and asked.

"because of you."

Xiao Yi also looked at Xiao Chen, and said slowly.

"I?"

Xiao Chen frowned.

"Yes, you are going to return to the Xiao family after all. If I don't show up, how can you return to the Xiao family? Besides, I also have selfish intentions. As an ancestor, I can't just sit and watch the Xiao family be killed by you, right? It's family."

Xiao Yi said to Xiao Chen.

"Boy, if you are allowed to be the Patriarch of the Xiao family, can you... let go of the past?"

"Can't."

Xiao Chen shook his head.

"If Senior Xiao calls me, that's what he said, then I'll go down the mountain."

"The whole Xiao family can't do it?"

Xiao Yi looked at him.

"Hehe, don't tell me to let them go, even if there is no such condition, I will not be the head of the Xiao family."

Xiao Chen laughed mockingly.

"Why?"

Xiao Yi was not surprised, but he still asked.

"The Xiao family is one of the twelve families..."

"If I want, I can build a family at any time, not to mention surpassing the Xiao family, at least not worse than the Xiao family."

Xiao Chen said lightly.

"So, why don't I build it myself, but accept the decaying Xiao family?"
