"Well said, as expected of my son!"

Xiao Qian's eyes lit up when he saw this. He stood up and said in a loud and clear voice. He hadn't thought that his son would be able to defeat Xiao Ling and Xiao Shen without any cultivation. This was simply a miracle.

Never before, never in the future!

Xiao Chen said as he placed the silver hairpin on Xiao Shen's neck. When Xiao Jiu asked this question, the entire hall was completely silent. Compared to the ridicule from before, everyone seemed to have their mouths stuffed shut.

"Bang …" Xiao Qian slapped the table and snorted, "My son asked you guys a question. Are you guys dead or mute?"

Xiao Qian was furious. He had been afraid of Xiao Qian's dignity, so he had given scattered responses. However, Xiao Qian did not care about these responses. What he wanted was the response from Xiao Zhendong and Xiao Mengsheng, as well as the responses from the elders.

"Although First Young Master Xiao is able to shatter Xiao Ling's protective profound energy and stop Xiao Shen, Xiao Jiu does not have any profound energy in his body. Even though what we have displayed today is an unorthodox technique, it is also proof of our strength. My clan of elders will not acknowledge Xiao Jiu, nor will we acknowledge Xiao Jiu! "

The Second Elder, who had been silent all this time, opened his eyes at this moment and spoke. When Xiao Jiu heard this, his heart had already seen through everything. This old thing's words were obviously like mud.

What did he mean by not accepting Xiao Jiu and not accepting Xiao Jiu? This old bastard clearly didn't want to express his stance, but he also wanted to give a sense of existence.

"Fuck you! If you don't know how to talk, then shut up! The one who's going to die isn't your son, of course your words will sound nice!"

When Xiao Meng heard the Second Elder's words, no matter how well-behaved he was, he was still so angry that his bladder exploded. His own son's life was in Xiao Jiu's hands, and this old thing still dared to say something about Xiao Jiu using an unorthodox method. Wasn't this sincerely stimulating Xiao Jiu?

And the whole thing doesn't approve of Xiao Jiu, don't accept Xiao Jiu, bite off the words, it seems that you are very cultured? You are so awesome, why don't you ascend to the heavens?

The Second Elder did not expect that when he stood out to express his attitude, he would actually arouse a nameless fire. He immediately smacked his lips with an embarrassed look on his face, as if he was bored of it.

"Nephew Xiao Jiu, let him go. I will no longer do anything with the Patriarch as the reason that there is no future! You have already proven your strength, so there is no need for you to do all of this.

Xiao Meng Sheng restrained his emotions, looked at Xiao Jiu and said with a serious face.

On the other hand, Xiao Zhentian was speechless. The power that Xiao Chen had displayed left him speechless. There was nothing he could say, but more so than that, he was puzzled. This kid clearly did not use any profound energy, but he was actually able to restrain Xiao Shen. It was simply inconceivable.

He even suspected that this Xiao Shant was an actor.

"Xiao Shen, I will only give you ten breaths of time. Tell me loudly, do you want to die or do you want to live!"

Xiao Jiu did not pay attention to Xiao Mengsheng's words. Instead, he whispered into Xiao Shen's ear. Although Xiao Chen's voice was not loud, the content of the question was basically audible to everyone in the hall.

Everyone was anticipating Xiao Shen's answer when he asked this question. At this moment, Xiao Shen was sweating profusely. It was false to say that he was not afraid of death. There was no one in this world who was not afraid of death. They would only see why they died.

To die in front of a piece of trash like him, this was clearly not worth it, and it also made him incomparably afraid.

"Shen'er, your father wants you to live. Tell him that you want to live!"

Xiao Meng Sheng looked at Xiao Shen with a dark expression. After hearing Xiao Meng Sheng's words, Xiao Shen seemed to have grasped onto something.

"I... I want to live! I want to live! Please let me go, wuu … "

Xiao Shen's heart completely collapsed. The strings in his heart snapped at this moment. He could not control his emotions. Tears flowed from his eyes, partly because he had survived the disaster, and partly because he was frightened.

When Xiao Jian heard this, he lifted the corner of his mouth into a mocking smile and removed the silver hairpin that was on Xiao Shen's neck.

For the first time, he experienced the fear of death from this piece of trash.

He was a trash, yet he had allowed himself to experience the fear of death. The moment he realized that Xiao Chen had put down the silver hairpin, an uncontrollable sense of humiliation surged through his heart …

"I want to live, I want to live …" Xiao Shen calmed down as he kept repeating the words I wanted to live. It was obvious that he had suffered from quite a bit of stimulation.

Taking two steps forward, he suddenly turned his palm into a claw, turned around, and grabbed towards Xiao Jiu, "But I want you to die. Trash, die for me!"

The sudden turn of events had shocked everyone.

"Xiao Jiu, be careful!"

Xiao Qian and Xiao Yu`er shouted out at the same time, but because of Xiao Shen's sudden sneak attack, it was too late for them to stop him. They could only look at Xiao Chen's luck.

Xiao Shen continued grabbing at empty air. It was unknown when Xiao Chen appeared behind him again. With a poke of his hand, the silver hairpin landed viciously on Xiao Shen's neck.

"Pfft …"

The sound of flesh being pierced could be heard. The silver hairpin in Xiao Jiu's hand pierced deeply into Xiao Shen's neck. This thrust was not ruthless. The entire silver hairpin pierced into Xiao Shen's neck.

Xiao Shen widened his eyes and a look of disbelief appeared on his face. His body twitched for a moment before he fell to the ground.

"Shen … "Shen'er!"

Xiao Meng watched this scene unfold in front of her eyes. Even though he had already experienced the torrential rain, his mind was still blank. The one who had died was his son, his own son!

"Xiao Meng, if anything happens to my son, I will bury him with your entire family!"

Xiao Qian calmed down from his shock, but seeing that Xiao Chen was safe and sound, he heaved a sigh of relief. After he let out a sigh of relief, he was enraged. This Xiao Shen had actually dared to use such underhanded methods against Xiao Chen. He was simply insane.

"Don't worry, it's not a big deal!" "Since his surname is Xiao, I will naturally spare his life. If he ever recovers in the future, he can come and seek revenge. Otherwise, I will be very bored."

A trace of a mocking smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Jiu's mouth as he spoke to Xiao Meng Sheng.

"Someone, escort young master Xiao Shen down! Ask the best physician to treat him!"

Xiao Meng Sheng did not have time to think too much about it as he quickly shouted. A few people came and carried Xiao Shen away, but Xiao Meng Sheng did not follow them.

Seeing this scene, the corner of Xiao Jiu's mouth widened into a smile. His own son was about to die, and this Xiao Meng was still not leaving. It seemed that they had come prepared today to force his father to abdicate.

"Big brother, your son has proven that he has a bit of unorthodox ability. However, I have heard that members of the Great Desolate City's Mu Clan have come to the Green Wood City. He will probably be returning to our Xiao Clan today." Everyone knows that our Xiao Clan's First Young Master Xiao Jiu has a fiancee with exceptional talent and the country's natural beauty. She is the Great Desolate City's Mu Family's Eldest Miss, Mu Qingxue! "

Xiao Zhen Dong, who had been silent all this time, finally opened his mouth. When he spoke, he looked calm and composed, as if he was holding onto a treasure of wisdom.

"What Second Brother said is right. This Mu Qingxue is sixteen years old and her cultivation is probably at the fifth level of the Core Formation Stage. She is the number one person among the younger generation in the 18 cities of the Nine Prefectures." And just last month, Mu Qingxue was already selected as an inner courtyard disciple by one of the Empire's Five Great Academies, Qing Yuan Academy. She has directly surpassed the outer courtyard disciples and has been accepted as an inner courtyard disciple! "

Was this their trump card? The corners of Xiao Jiu's mouth twitched when he heard this. He already understood what was going on in his heart.

"So what?"

Xiao Qian's brows were clearly knit together when he heard this. He had already anticipated that something would happen. It was obvious that these two brothers of his were planning to make trouble for him. These two fellows had indeed come prepared today.

"To be able to be called an inner court disciple by one of the Five Great Academies, Qing Yuan Academy, such talent, not to mention the eighteen cities of the Nine Prefectures, even within the empire, he is still considered a Heaven's Pride son." After Mu Qingxue was accepted as an inner court disciple by the Green Yuan School, the Mu Clan spread that they wanted to annul their engagement with our Young Master Xiao! "

Xiao Zhen Dong crossed his arms and said calmly.

"And then?"

Xiao Qian's frown deepened. He wanted to see how his two good brothers would use this matter as an example.

"Then, Xiao Jiu, as the Young Patriarch of our Xiao family, was actually annulled. To our Xiao family, this is the greatest disgrace. Our Xiao Clan has existed for a thousand years and there has never been a case where the young master of the Xiao Clan had his marriage annulled. If word of this were to spread, how would our Xiao Clan even have the face to establish itself in the Cyanwood City? "

Xiao Meng Sheng continued to speak in an orderly manner, getting straight to the point. He had completely regained consciousness from the previous incident. With such a temperament, he was worthy of being called a sly old fox.

"The words of Second Master and Third Master are true. This old man has already heard of this matter and has also heard that Mu Qingxue has personally come. If nothing unexpected happens, the Mu Clan should have to withdraw from this marriage!"

At this time, the second elder interrupted him. The elders were independent of the family and had the authority to decide the choice of the family head. However, if the current family head did not make a mistake, they could not interfere in the change of family head.

As for the matter of annulling the engagement, it seemed to be a breakthrough. The group of elders was already very dissatisfied with Xiao Qian's way of handling things, so they silently allowed Xiao Er and Xiao San to join hands to cause trouble for him.

"Then according to Second Uncle, Third Uncle and the Elders, how should we solve this problem?"

A trace of a smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Chen's mouth as he said this. He didn't seem to care much about the so-called annulment of the marriage, as if he was planning it in a strategic manner.
