Chapter 4
Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Ze, waiting for his answer.
"Third Brother, we'll talk about it later."
After Xiao Ze finished speaking, he followed the maid toward the main hall.
Xiao Yan stood there, watching Xiao Ze's back, his brows furrowed slightly.
After thinking about it for a moment, I followed them.
The main hall of the Xiao family.
When Xiao Ze entered the hall, the Grand Elder was already standing there.
His face was gloomy, and when he saw Xiao Ze enter, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Xiao Zhan sat in the main seat, holding a cup of tea in his hand, his expression calm.
Several elders sat on either side, each looking at Xiao Ze with a different expression.
Xiao Yan walked in from behind and stood next to Xiao Ze.
When the Grand Elder saw that Xiao Yan had also arrived, he said, "Xiao Yan, this matter has nothing to do with you."
"Elder, Xiao Ze is my fourth brother," Xiao Yan said. "His affairs are my affairs."
Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder's expression turned even more unpleasant.
He ignored Xiao Yan and looked at Xiao Ze instead.
"Xiao Ze, do you know your crime?" the Grand Elder said coldly.
Xiao Ze looked at the Grand Elder but did not speak.
"You severely injured Xiao Ning and harmed a fellow clansman. According to the Xiao family rules, you should be expelled from the Xiao family," the First Elder said.
"Elder, it was Xiao Ning who struck first," Xiao Ze said.
"So what?" the elder said. "You, a piece of trash with only a third-stage Dou Qi, managed to severely injure him? You must have used some despicable means. Your crime is compounded."
The elder stared at Xiao Ze, his eyes filled with coldness.
"Even if Xiao Ning struck first, you shouldn't have used such force," the First Elder said. "Xiao Ning is currently lying unconscious in bed, and you must give an explanation for this."
"What explanation does the Grand Elder want?" Xiao Ze asked.
"Expel them from the Xiao family," the First Elder said.
Xiao Ze looked at him and said calmly, "The Grand Elder is certainly direct enough."
"What do you mean?" the elder roared.
"The Grand Elder knows what I mean," Xiao Ze said.
The elder clenched his fists, his face flushed red.
He turned his head and looked at Xiao Zhan.
"Clan leader, did you see that?" the First Elder said. "This is your son, harming his own clan and showing no respect for his elders. If such a clansman is not expelled from the Xiao family, what rules does the Xiao family have left?"
Xiao Zhan put down his teacup and was about to speak.
A voice came from outside the hall.
"Elder, you flatter me."
Everyone turned their heads and looked towards the entrance of the hall.
Xiao Xun'er walked in from outside.
She wore a long cyan dress, her face was stunningly beautiful, and her temperament was aloof.
The elders' expressions changed slightly when they saw her.
The Grand Elder frowned as well.
Xiao Xun'er walked into the hall and nodded slightly to Xiao Zhan.
"Uncle Xiao," Xiao Xun'er said.
"Xun'er is here," Xiao Zhan said.
Xiao Xun'er looked at the Grand Elder and said, "Grand Elder, I heard what you just said."
The elder looked at her without saying a word.
"Everyone here knows that Xiao Ning led people to ambush Brother Xiao Ze," Xiao Xun'er said. "The Grand Elder only questions Brother Xiao Ze's crime and not Xiao Ning's fault, which is probably inappropriate."
"Miss Xun'er, this matter has nothing to do with you," the Grand Elder said.
"Brother Xiao Ze's affairs are my affairs," Xiao Xun'er said.
The elder's face darkened.
But because of Xiao Xun'er's special status, he didn't dare to say anything more.
Xiao Xun'er looked at the Grand Elder and continued, "The elders have given Brother Xiao Ze a month to break through to the sixth level of Dou Qi."
"It hasn't even been a month, and the First Elder wants to expel Brother Xiao Ze from the Xiao family? Isn't that a bit too hasty?"
The elder's face darkened after being spoken to.
"Xun'er is right," Xiao Zhan said. "Elder, it hasn't even been a month yet, and you want to expel Xiao Ze from the Xiao family now? I don't agree."
The elder looked at Xiao Zhan, then at Xiao Xun'er, and gritted his teeth.
"Alright, let's wait a month and see," the elder said. "If Xiao Ze fails to break through to the sixth level of Dou Qi a month later, let's see what the clan leader has to say."
After saying this, the elder turned and left.
The elders exchanged glances and then followed them out.
The hall fell silent.
Xiao Zhan looked at Xiao Xun'er, a hint of gratitude flashing in his eyes.
"Thank you, Xun'er," Xiao Zhan said.
"Uncle Xiao, you're too kind," Xiao Xun'er said.
She turned her head and looked at Xiao Ze.
"Brother Xiao Ze, I'm going back now."
Xiao Ze nodded.
Xiao Xun'er turned and left.
Xiao Yan watched Xiao Xun'er's departing figure, then looked at Xiao Ze.
"Fourth brother, Xun'er is indeed very good to you," Xiao Yan said.
Xiao Ze remained silent.
Xiao Zhan summoned Xiao Ze to the study.
Only the father and son were in the study.
Xiao Zhan looked at Xiao Ze and patted him on the shoulder.
"You did well today," Xiao Zhan said. "The more you back down, the more the Grand Elder will take advantage of you."
Xiao Ze remained silent.
"However..." Xiao Zhan changed the subject, "How did you injure Xiao Ning?"
Xiao Ze looked at him without explaining.
"Xiao Ning has the sixth level of Dou Qi, you..." Xiao Zhan said.
Could it be that the son's strength has really improved?
Xiao Zhan muttered to himself.
But this was all so sudden.
How could he suddenly defeat Xiao Ning, who has only reached the sixth level of Dou Qi, after so many years without any breakthrough?
Xiao Zhan guessed in his heart, but did not ask any further questions.
"Alright, you can go back now," Xiao Zhan said. "Focus on your cultivation."
Xiao Ze nodded and turned to leave.
Xiao Ze was walking back to his residence.
A voice suddenly rang in my mind.
[The system has issued a new task: help Xiao Yan obtain a high-level Xuan-rank Dou Technique.]
[Mission complete. The host will receive a random reward.]
Xiao Ze stopped and looked at the system notification.
Advanced Xuan-rank combat skill.
The most powerful fighting technique in the Xiao family is only at the mid-level of the Xuan rank.
Where is he going to get Xiao Yan a high-level Xuan-rank fighting skill?
He snapped out of his thoughts and continued walking towards his residence.
night.
Xiao Ze sat in his room.
It was completely dark outside.
He closed his eyes and circulated his internal fighting spirit.
A nine-star Grand Dou Master is already quite a formidable figure in Wutan City.
But that's far from enough.
Fortunately, he was bound to the Brotherly Love and Respect System.
As long as Xiao Yan's strength continues to improve, he will receive a steady stream of rewards.
As Xiao Ze was thinking, another voice suddenly rang in his mind.
[Detection indicates that Xiao Yan has taken a Qi-restoring pill.]
The system will provide random feedback.
[Feedback is being generated, please wait.]
[Feedback generated: The host has received a Grade 6 pill, the Battle Spirit Pill.]
Xiao Ze smiled as he looked at the system's notification.
Douling Pill, a sixth-grade elixir.
After taking the Fighting Spirit Pill, it can help a nine-star Fighting Spirit expert advance to the Fighting King level.
Even if you don't use it yourself, it would be worth a lot of money if you auctioned it off.
Xiao Ze put the Douling Pill into his system inventory and continued to cultivate with his eyes closed.
