nine thirty.
Xiao Chen and Xiao Yu came to the meeting place, next to the ancestral hall.
This is the highest-level meeting of the Xiao family, the Elders' Association... can decide everything about the Xiao family, including the appointment and dismissal of the head of the Xiao family!
Before the ancestral hall is opened, they all go to the ancestral hall to pay homage.
"Go, I'll wait for you outside."
Xiao Chen said to Xiao Yu.
"Brother, are you not going?"
Startled, Xiao Yu asked.
"I won't go."
Xiao Chen looked at the ancestral hall and shook his head.
"Brother, let's go together."
Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Chen and said.
"No."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Ok."
Seeing Xiao Chen's firm attitude, Xiao Yu could only nod his head and entered the ancestral hall by himself.
Xiao Chen looked at the four big characters of "Xiao Family Ancestral Hall", and showed a mocking smile, then looked away, lit a cigarette, and took a deep breath.
Soon, Xiao Lin came out from the ancestral hall: "Why don't you go in?"
"I'm not from the Xiao family, what are you going to do?"
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"..."
Xiao Lin was speechless.
"Why, if I don't enter the ancestral hall, I won't be allowed to participate in the ancestral hall? I don't want to participate, why don't I go first?"
Xiao Chen smoked a cigarette and said.
"It's a good idea, you go inside and wait."
Xiao Lin glared at Xiao Chen and pointed to the meeting place.
"it is good."
Xiao Chen nodded, and strolled over.
Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Chen's back, felt helpless, shook his head, and returned to the ancestral hall.
When I came to the meeting place, except for a few maidservants, there were no members of the Xiao family, and they should all be at the ancestral hall.
"Young master."
Several servant girls saw Xiao Chen and hurriedly bowed to greet him.
Hearing their names, Xiao Chen frowned: "Who told you to call that?"
"Qi Ye told us to shout that."
The maid said hurriedly.
"..."
Xiao Chen was helpless, it seemed that Uncle Qi didn't want him to go back to Xiao's house all the time.
"Where do I sit?"
"Young master, sit here."
A maid took Xiao Chen to a seat and sat down.
"Okay, thank you."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"You are welcome, this is what I should do."
The maid said hurriedly.
"Go ahead, don't worry about me."
Xiao Chen looked at the maids, they should also be maids in the town, and they have been in the Xiao family for many years.
Otherwise, they would not have been arranged here.
"Okay, if there is anything at all, just ask."
The servant girl nodded and bowed to leave.
After they left, Xiao Chen looked around, there was no one there at the moment, they should all be at the ancestral hall.
He took a few glances, and found that the place was very grand, and it was his first time here.
When he was in Xiao's house before, he was still young, so he was not qualified to come here.
Unexpectedly, after leaving the Xiao family for many years, he came here.
He fumbled for a cigarette, lit it, and waited.
Before he could finish his cigarette, the door opened and footsteps could be heard.
Xiao Chen turned his head to look, and when he saw the person coming, he showed a sneer.
Xiao Bo and Xiao Wei came in from the outside, when they saw Xiao Chen sitting there smoking a cigarette, they were also taken aback, why is he here?
"The past two days... did you sleep well?"
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Bo and Xiao Wei, and asked with a smile.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Xiao Bo and Xiao Wei's expressions changed, and then...turned around and walked out.
Xiao Chen stared at their actions, and was taken aback, damn it, what about it? I didn't say I wanted to kill you guys!
However, he felt quite at ease when he thought that he could scare these two people away with a single word.
"Heh, even if I don't kill you, I will still make you fearful and dare not sleep at night!"
Xiao Chen sneered a few times and continued smoking.
Outside, Xiao Bo's face was ashen. How dare a junior threaten him?
Are you still sleeping well?
What does it mean?
Isn't this threatening and scaring him?
"Third Uncle, have you seen it? He's not dead, we really can't sleep well."
Xiao Wei looked at Xiao Bo and said in a deep voice.
"Have you got a solution?"
Xiao Bo narrowed his eyes and asked slowly.
"Well, I can let him die, but after his death, the Xiao family will definitely be in turmoil, and the ancestors will also be furious. I am afraid that I will not be able to bear it alone."
Xiao Wei nodded, and then said.
"If he can really die and there is no evidence, then no one can do anything to you."
Xiao Bo thought for a while and said.
"But if...you leave evidence, or say that Xiao Chen is not dead, then no one can help you, understand?"
"clear."
Xiao Wei nodded.
"I'm already a useless person. If he doesn't die, I can't swallow this breath... Most importantly, if he doesn't die, then we may all have to die!"
"Remember, no matter whether Xiao Chen is dead or not, once there is any evidence against you, then this matter...is only done by you."
Xiao Bo looked at Xiao Wei and said seriously.
"The old man doesn't know anything."
Xiao Wei frowned slightly, did he want to keep himself out of the matter?
But thinking of something, he still nodded: "Okay!"
Just as Xiao Bo was about to say something, there was a sound of footsteps, and after he winked at Xiao Wei, he stopped discussing this matter.
Xiao Yi and others came, and when they saw Xiao Bo and Xiao Wei standing outside, they couldn't help being stunned, why didn't they go in?
Xiao Lin looked at them, thinking of something, his expression was a little weird, could it be that Xiao Chen was kicked out?
"Why don't you go in?"
Xiao Yi asked.
"Uncle Qi, we are waiting for you to join us."
Xiao Bo said to Xiao Yi.
"go in."
After Xiao Yi finished speaking, he walked in slowly.
When Xiao Yi entered and saw Xiao Chen sitting there smoking a cigarette, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood something.
It seemed that Xiao Bo and the others were not waiting for him, but... Xiao Chen was inside.
"Old Xiao."
When Xiao Chen saw Xiao Yi, he got up and said hello.
"Ok."
Xiao Yi nodded.
"Today's elders' meeting is mainly about discussing the Patriarch of the Xiao family, so I want you to come and listen in and see if you can give any suggestions."
"Hehe, I have no suggestion."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"..."
Xiao Yi didn't pick up the words, so he had to stay here without any suggestion!
"Everyone sit down."
Following Xiao Yi's words, everyone sat down one after another, and some nodded to Xiao Chen.
"Brother."
Xiao Yu sat next to Xiao Chen.
"Ok."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"I saw Xiao Bo and Xiao Wei outside the door just now... have they come in?"
Xiao Yu asked in a low voice.
"Come in."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Brother, did you drive them out again?"
Xiao Yu grinned, big brother is awesome, he had to be respectful when he met Xiao Bo and Xiao Wei before, even if he had thoughts in his heart, he didn't dare to show them.
"I didn't drive them away, I just asked them a word, and they went out by themselves."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Huh? Brother, what are you asking?"
Xiao Yu was curious.
"I asked them if they slept well these two days?"
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Okay...I must not be able to sleep well."
Xiao Yu also laughed, it seems that the eldest brother really cast a shadow on them, otherwise, why would they run out with such a sentence.
"What are you two talking about here?"
Xiao Lin also came over and sat on the other side of Xiao Chen.
"Uncle Qi, why did you come here?"
Xiao Chen asked casually.
"I can't come over and stare at you? What if you draw your sword and kill someone?"
Xiao Lin was joking.
"It's not possible. Anyway, Lao Xiao is here, and I can't beat him. Even if I want to kill someone, I have to find a time when he is not around."
Xiao Chen smiled.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Xiao Lin rolled his eyes, but he still sat there without moving.
"Apart from the two of you, I'm the only one who has the least qualifications... To tell you the truth, this is also my first time participating in the Elders' Association."
"Really or not? The dignified Xiao family unicorn, didn't he have the qualifications before?"
Xiao Chen deliberately said in an exaggerated tone.
"The unicorn of the Xiao family is talking about talent and potential. What does it have to do with this... Look, besides him, is there anyone in my generation? Even Xiao Ming and the others who hold the real power are not I have no right to sit here."
Xiao Lin said in a low voice.
"If it weren't for the special circumstances this time, we wouldn't be able to get in."
"Oh, that's why I said, the Xiao family is rotten... how can a family controlled by so many rotten old guys not be rotten."
Xiao Chen sneered.
"Be quiet..."
Xiao Lin glared at Xiao Chen, really daring to say anything.
"Uncle Seven, if you are the Patriarch of the Xiao family, remember to kill all these old guys... Well, I don't ask you to kill them, but to cut off the power in their hands and let them retire!"
Xiao Chen said to Xiao Lin.
"At such an advanced age, wouldn't it be good to feed the elders and feed the birds? You have to control the Xiao family... It would be nice to leave these labor-intensive things to young people."
"Don't, I don't intend to be the head of the family. I came today for one purpose... to keep you kid, and not let you get mad."
Xiao Lin shook his head.
"As for you want to kill... As the head of the family, you can kill them as you want, and I support them with both hands."
"..."
Xiao Chen kept quiet, I was the one to watch the fun, okay?
Next to him, Xiao Yu felt that he couldn't get in the way... He didn't dare to say anything more because he would kill the old guy from the Xiao family every now and then.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, the old meeting...let's start."
Xiao Yi spoke softly.
There were some noisy voices at first, but after Xiao Yi opened his mouth, he immediately quieted down.
Except for the Xiao family, there was no one else present, including a few maids, who also retreated and stood guard at the door.
"In the past two days, a lot of things have happened in the Xiao family. People who are in retreat should know about it, right?"
Xiao Yi glanced over the crowd and said slowly.
"Except for Xiao Qian who didn't leave the customs, everyone else is here. Xiao Sheng, please talk about the matter again."
"it is good."
Xiao Sheng nodded, and briefly talked about Xiao Chen's coming to Xiao's family, Xuantian faction, and Ximen's family.
Listening to Xiao Sheng's words, most of the people present looked at Xiao Chen.
Judging from Xiao Chen's previous performance, they, the older generation, of course have great opinions.
But later, I have to say that Xiao Chen also made a great contribution to blocking the Xuantian faction and the Ximen family.
"For this matter, after leaving the customs, the old man made a decision, that is...Xiao Sheng will no longer be the head of the Xiao family."
Seeing that Xiao Sheng had finished speaking, Xiao Yi spoke slowly.
"The biggest purpose of holding the patriarchal meeting today is to determine the next Patriarch of the Xiao family!"
