"Second Elder, this is the Xiao family, and it is not up to you to decide. Changsheng is the direct descendant of the Xiao family. According to the clan's rules, he is the head of the Xiao family!" Xiao Kun shouted.
At this moment, Xiao Kun was also extremely furious. He had been painstakingly operating his plan for a long time, but he was actually broken by Xiao Qi, this bastard who never did anything wrong. Now that Xiao Changsheng had revealed his true strength, he had no choice but to change his plan.
If Xiao Changsheng was only a piece of trash, even if he took away the position of the Xiao Family's Patriarch, the Supreme Elders of the Xiao Family who were cultivating in seclusion would not say anything.
After all, the most important and effective way to develop a clan was to be strong. Even if he became the head of the Xiao family, he wouldn't be able to force the Xiao family onto a path of prosperity.
However, the strength that Xiao Changsheng had displayed was not only from trash, but also from a genius!
To be able to defeat a fourth level spirit realm expert in one move, and even cripple his spirit foundation, and even face the sneak attack of the The sky spirit realm's second elder, only being able to spit out blood was something that could be done with earth spirit realm at the very least.
And how old was Xiao Changsheng right now? Sixteen years old! Even though this kind of aptitude was not as good as his freakish big brother Xiao Tian, it was still enough to be arrogant enough to look down on the entire Wu He County.
If such a genius were to blatantly seize the position of the family head, it would definitely arouse the displeasure of many great elders. This would be extremely disadvantageous to his control of the Xiao family.
"Old thing, when did it become your turn to decide on the position of the family head in the Xiao family?" Do you really think that I am afraid of you, your The sky spirit realm is impressive, and if you anger me, even if you are a The sky spirit realm cultivator, I will still kill you!? "
Xiao Changsheng also stared at the Second Elder and bellowed, his momentum not decreasing at all. Although he was not a match for the Second Elder with his current cultivation level, if he were to fight with his life on the line, he had ten thousand ways to kill this old thing!
If he could not even deal with a mere The sky spirit realm, then his tens of millions of years of time could be considered as spent in vain!
"You little bastard, you're courting death!" Being yelled at by an old thing and an old thing from Xiao Changsheng's left, the Second Elder immediately flew into a rage as he smashed his palm towards Xiao Changsheng.
Ever since he had become an elder of the Xiao family, he had never been humiliated like this. Not to mention that the person in front of him was just a wet behind the ears brat, even his father Xiao Qian had to be polite and speak to him when he saw him.
"Second Elder, stop quickly!"
"Bam!"
Without waiting for Xiao Kun to make a move, a person had already blocked Xiao Changsheng in front of him, and directly blocked the palm attack from the second clan elder. The two of them immediately took a few steps back. This person was the Great Elder of the Xiao family, and in terms of status, he was on par with Xiao Kun in the Xiao family.
Xiao Kun squinted. Up until now, the Great Clan Elder had always been neutral. He did not support him nor did he have any intentions of fighting for the position of Patriarch. But now that the Great Clan Elder had made his move, he was clearly standing on Xiao Changsheng's side.
"First Elder, let me ask you, when the Xiao family attacks and kills the family head, their words are rude. According to the clan's rules, how should they be dealt with?"
Seeing the Great Clan Elder blocking the attack for him, Xiao Changsheng immediately asked. As expected, the strength he had displayed had already attracted the attention of some people.
"Master, according to the clan rules, the punishment for murdering the Patriarch is death!" The Great Elder readily agreed.
"Patriarch, on behalf of Second Uncle, please forgive the Second Elder. The Second Elder was only anxious to protect his grandson, and was unable to accept this fact for a moment, which is why he offended the Patriarch. As a disciple of the Xiao Family, Xiao Qi offended the Patriarch, and even deserved to die. However, the Second Elder has always been loyal to the Xiao Family.
"Bastard thing, why aren't you admitting your wrongs to the Patriarch!" After he finished speaking, Xiao Kun looked at the Second Elder again, and berated him.
The Second Elder looked at the incomparably furious Xiao Kun. Even though he was extremely unwilling, he had no choice but to lower his head at this moment, and said: "Patriarch, please forgive us."
By Xiao Changsheng's side, small bamboo looked at the Second Elder kneeling on the ground and pulled at Xiao Changsheng's sleeves. Since Xiao Changsheng had just become Patriarch, if he just killed the Second Elder, it would be very detrimental to his reputation.
"Alright, on account of small bamboo, I'll let you off this once, I'll let you go to the Xiao Family to think about it for ten years, and as for Xiao Qi —" As he spoke, a fierce glint appeared in Xiao Changsheng's eyes, and he said: "If you dare to touch my people, killing you ten thousand times would be easier for you. I'll drag you to the Fire Cave to work hard, and once you have enough Spirit Stones to dig, I'll release you at any time!"
At this moment, Xiao Qi had already been scared silly by Xiao Changsheng's methods. He never would have thought that even his grandfather was unable to kill Xiao Changsheng, and more importantly, both Xiao Kun and the Great Elder were actually on Xiao Changsheng's side.
At this moment, if he dared to say even half a no, he probably wouldn't even know how he died. For a moment, the disciples of the Xiao Family who were originally following Xiao Qi could not help but feel sympathy for Xiao Qi. Ten thousand Spirit Stones was the Xiao Family's annual income.
This was also the Xiao family's income as the number one family in Wu He County. The combined income of the other few family clans might not be much higher than the Xiao family.
"Thank you, Patriarch."
If a single person wanted to dig up 10,000 spirit stones, even a hundred years wouldn't be enough to do so. In that case, no matter how talented Xiao Qi was, he would still be crippled. His status was even inferior to a servant girl of the Xiao family when he went to the Fire Cave to find spirit stones.
Xiao Changsheng snorted: "Second Elder, if you feel dissatisfied and think that this punishment is too heavy, you can bring it up. I am very good at listening to other people's opinions, don't you think so, Second Uncle?"
As he spoke, Xiao Changsheng's gaze landed on Xiao Kun's body. The muscles on Xiao Kun's face twitched, and did not respond. Ever since his nephew came back, not only had his strength increased, even his personality had changed.
He suddenly realized that the entire matter had been in Xiao Changsheng's hands from the very beginning. The crippled Xiao Qi had caused the Second Elder to appear, and his subsequent exchange with the Second Elder had attracted his and the other elders' attention.
With the incident this time, even if others had any objections towards Xiao Changsheng, they would probably not dare to say it out loud. This kind of method and strategy simply wasn't something that a sixteen year old child could come up with.
From the very beginning, he didn't even have a chance to react. If Xiao Changsheng's "Second Uncle" didn't wake him up and remind him, he probably would have suspected that he was being too suspicious. This was a provocation!
"I don't dare." The Second Elder replied.
"It's good that you know that I don't dare. Otherwise, this young master wouldn't mind if there was one less elder and one less trash in the Xiao family!" Xiao Changsheng coldly replied, and without looking at everyone else, he directly headed towards his own room, with small bamboo following him immediately.
At this moment, Xiao Changsheng's previous words still echoed in small bamboo's heart. It was as if he had eaten honey, and her heart was so sweet that it almost melted.
"Young Master's woman is so shy!" small bamboo chanted in his heart as his face flushed red.
"Great Elder, you will arrange for Xiao Qi to head to the Fire Cave. I will send Second Elder there." Seeing Xiao Changsheng leave, Xiao Kun took the initiative to speak.
Even if Xiao Kun was not the Patriarch, the Great Elder would not dare to doubt a person like the Xiao Family who could cover the sky with one hand.
Inside the room, small bamboo looked at Xiao Changsheng with curiosity, like a curious baby, he continuously sized him up.
"Little girl, what are you looking at?" Xiao Changsheng coldly asked with a straight face. Although small bamboo was older than Xiao Changsheng by two years, in Xiao Changsheng's eyes, small bamboo was just a little girl.
The small bamboo didn't care about this, she was just a servant girl serving the Young Master, it wasn't wrong for the Young Master to call him a little girl.
"I only feel that young master is a different person, he is different from the young master I knew in the past." small bamboo replied.
"Oh, where's the difference?" was startled, then looked at small bamboo and asked. Indeed, the current him was not the old Xiao Changsheng, so his personality was naturally different from the old Xiao Changsheng, even though he had restrained himself to do what he had done according to the old Xiao Changsheng's behavior, to small bamboo who had been serving Xiao Changsheng since he was young, such a cover couldn't escape the eyes of the small bamboo.
"Well, the small bamboo can't say where it's different, it's just that it's different." small bamboo pouted.
"Then do you like the former young master, or the current young master?" Xiao Changsheng asked with a smile that was not a smile.
"No matter if it's the old young master, or the current young master, as long as it's a young master, small bamboo likes all of them." small bamboo answered without hesitation.
Xiao Changsheng's face revealed a smile, and asked: "You aren't curious at all how I am able to suddenly cultivate?"
"Why should I be curious? In the eyes of the small bamboo, young master has always been the best, even being born with a blocked meridian won't be difficult for young master, as long as young master wants to do it, young master does not have anything you cannot!" small bamboo said firmly, her eyes did not show any signs of hesitation, this kind of expression could not be feigned.
"Alright, you can leave first."
said indifferently to the small bamboo after a moment of silence. Towards this kind of innocent little girl, who was almost as clean as water, even he, who had lived for several thousand years, had never seen her before. This made him jealous of the old Xiao Changsheng.
