Fighting Break Sphere: My Days as a Tutor at Canaan College

Chapter 125 The Suspicious Xiao Family Executives

"I don't deserve it! I don't deserve it! To be honest, I still don't understand why you suddenly got so angry just now, Third Elder!"

Under his gaze, Liu Xi waved his hands repeatedly and began his routine "improvisational performance" - playing dumb!
In fact, he knew the details and reasons too well.

However, he also knew that if a person knew too much and laughed at other people, he would inevitably be disliked by others.

Therefore, pretending to be stupid is definitely a perfect way to deal with it at this time.

"These are some old things that we have almost forgotten, but there are still people who insist on holding on to them..."

The Third Elder withdrew his gaze from his face, sighed, and continued:
"Forget it. Since that person is Xiao Yue, Mr. Liu Xi, if you are willing to accept him as your student, then just accept him. I think his life will be much better in the future than it is now."

To Liu Xi's surprise, the Third Elder, after some hesitation, actually expressed his agreement verbally.

Could it be that he was thinking about Xiao Yue's "situation" in the Xiao family and was just throwing away the jar?
For some reason, Liu Xi felt that he was fed up with the "tinted glasses" through which these people looked at him!

He suddenly understood why the protagonists in the TV dramas and novels he watched in his previous life loved to show off and get slapped in the face, because sometimes it can be very stress-relieving and very... cool!

"As for that girl Xiao Yue, our clan will arrange another job for her, or reject her original application... She is still young after all. As for you, Mr. Liu Xi, if you are short of people to serve you, we will arrange a few more caring servants to serve you..." said the third elder in a serious tone.

On the side, Liu Xi silently waited for him to finish. This time, he did not interrupt him, but waited until he finished speaking before speaking:
"How to deal with Xiao Yue's matter is an internal matter of the Xiao family. I have not yet accepted her as a disciple, so it is not appropriate for me to ask. However... ahem... as for arranging servants to serve me, this move is... unnecessary!"

Just say it.

He slowly stood up, clasped his fists towards the Third Elder, and said:

"Now that the matter has been discussed, I will not disturb the Third Elder from handling family affairs."

"Haha, I won't bother you. If you hadn't come here today, Mr. Liu Xi, we, the family leaders, would have been kept in the dark about Xiao Yue's affairs for quite a long time. If outsiders knew about it, it would be a joke. To be honest, I have to thank you, Mr. Liu Xi."

The third elder also stood up and sent him out of the hall. When he stopped, he changed the subject and said with emotion:
"Mr. Liu Xi, Xiao Yue must have suffered a lot since she was a child because of her family. I hope she can stay with you in the future and receive more of your attention and guidance."

Hearing this, Liu Xi paused for a moment and turned back to say:
"Don't worry, Third Elder. This time when I, Liu Xi, accept a disciple, it is definitely not a joke!"

As if he knew what he was worried about, and it was rare for him to be so tactful in his words for the sake of the young men in his clan, so he simply spoke frankly to reassure him.

-

at dusk.

The people who assigned tasks to Xiao Yue were found out, and it turned out that no less than five people were involved in this matter.

On the spot, the third elder sent someone to call all the senior members of the Xiao family.

The top leaders gathered together. When clan leader Xiao Zhan learned about this, he was furious. With the support of the third elder and the rare acquiescence of the first and second elders, he immediately dismissed the five people from their positions within the clan and sent them to the clan's team that frequently traveled to and from the Monster Mountain Range.

In fact, Xiao Zhan and others could not help but make a fuss about this matter and wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.

It is such a big clan with many members, considerable industries and territories, so it is inevitable that there will be conflicts and frictions within it. People are selfish, and it is normal for those with minor powers to make things difficult for the children of clan members with whom they had conflicts from time to time!
However, it would have been fine if they were just making things difficult for him, but those people had touched the bottom line of Xiao Zhan and even several old antique elders.

It would be fine if it was just ordinary family servants and slaves, but you arranged the children of your own family to do those low-status jobs. Isn't this a slap in the face of everyone?
Not only is his vision narrow, he also has no brains!

If not you, who else should I mess with?

At the same time, this also sounded a wake-up call to other people in the tribe.

In the future, be careful to handle things like this properly!
After the matter was settled, Xiao Zhan and the three elders dismissed the rest of the people, sat down in the meeting hall, and talked about some other things.

"Third brother, did Liu Xi really want to take Xiao Yue as his student?"

At Xiao Zhan's left hand side, the Great Elder gently stroked his long gray beard, and a hint of suspicion appeared on his old face.

"Third brother, tell us roughly what Liu Xi said to you. I always feel that Liu Xi has only been in our Xiao family for two days, and he has proposed to accept a disciple. This is a bit strange. Could it be that he just got interested and wanted to find something to amuse himself?"

Sitting opposite the Great Elder, the Second Elder frowned slightly.

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan, who was sitting in the main seat, nodded slightly and said:
"What the Second Elder said makes some sense. Third Elder, please tell me what Liu Xi said."

Seeing this, the third elder nodded and took some time to roughly repeat what Liu Xi said to him after they met at noon.

毕。

Except for the third elder, everyone in the hall had a rather "exciting" look on their faces.

The third elder felt somewhat puzzled and asked:
"Patriarch, what's wrong with what I'm repeating?"

Xiao Zhan glanced at him and said carefully:
"Did Liu Xi really tell you that he thought Xiao Yue was very much his cup of tea and wanted to take her in as his student?"

The third elder frowned, put his hands on the table, thought carefully, and confirmed:
"That's basically what he said."

The words fell.

Xiao Zhan and the others looked at each other, and finally the Great Elder sighed and said:

"Third brother, you shouldn't have agreed to this so rashly. I'm afraid that Liu Xi doesn't really want to be a disciple, but has other intentions. If that's the case, you're pushing the children of my Xiao family into a fire pit!"

"Push into the fire pit?"

The third elder was in doubt and his face gradually became serious. He said:

"Is it that serious? I had good intentions. I thought that Xiao Yue had been ostracized in the clan for the past few years because of what happened to her father. She had a hard time. I thought that if she became Liu Xi's disciple, her situation might be improved. Why did I push her into this fire pit?"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan and the Great Elder looked at each other, and they realized that the Third Elder had not yet understood, so they stopped talking.

At this time, the second elder on the side couldn't stand it anymore and reminded:

"Third brother, think carefully about what Liu Xi said!"

The third elder raised his eyebrows.

What did Liu Xi say?
That sentence is simple and clear, there is nothing wrong with it, right?

He just wants to take in a disciple... huh? It suits his taste...

appetite……

Suddenly, the third elder glared and shouted:
"Then...how could Liu Xi be so bad?!"
