Fights Break Sphere: Thunder Shattered

Chapter 144 Father and son talk at night
"Yeah, I'm a very good friend."

When Xiao Zhan heard Xiao Tian say that those women were his wives and his daughters-in-law, his hand that was about to pick up the teacup froze instantly.

My son hasn't been home for over a year, and when he comes back he's given me such a big surprise.

The fifth girl stood up nervously and bowed with a smile: "Hello, uncle."

"Okay, okay." Xiao Zhan said with a smile, his voice was cheerful and happy: "Come and sit down, treat it like your own home, don't be so reserved."

Although Xiao Tian introduced the last person as a friend, Xiao Zhan, who had been working hard for many years, still discovered that the relationship between the two was definitely not that simple.

This son is very capable, so there is no need to worry about the extinction of my bloodline.

The five girls sat back in their chairs gracefully, looking like ladies from noble families. Medusa was the same. Although she was satisfied with Xiao Tian's introduction, she was also not satisfied at all.

"Third Young Master, we heard that you are back. We have been waiting for you for a long time."

The first elder and the second elder came over and smiled at Xiao Tian enthusiastically.

Xiao Tian was completely confused by the Great Elder's behavior. Was this old man possessed by a ghost?
Xiao Zhan explained to Xiao Tian in a low voice that it turned out that the news of him winning the Alchemist Conference had already been passed back to the Xiao family long ago, which led to this scene. He has become an idol for the young people in the entire family and a treasure in the eyes of the elders.

"First elder, second elder."

Xiao Tian stood up with a smile, saluted as a junior, and shouted.

"Who are these?"

The Great Elder and others came in, looked at the women sitting next to Xiao Tian, and asked.

Xiao Tian introduced Yun Yun and others to them.

When the three elders heard Yun Yun's name, they immediately sat up straight in their chairs. This was a top figure in the Jia Ma Empire.

If they knew that Queen Medusa was among them, they would probably be on pins and needles.

Xiao Zhan then arranged a family banquet. Fortunately, Xiao Tian's courtyard had enough rooms, so he just had to clean up a little.

……

At night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

After Xiao Tian spoke to the girls, he walked towards the clan leader's courtyard of Xiao Zhan.

When he arrived at the courtyard and walked through the front hall, he saw that Xiao Zhan’s study was lit, so he knocked on the door.

"Come in, the door is unlocked."

Xiao Zhan's voice came from inside, as if he already knew that Xiao Tian would come.

Xiao Tian pushed open the door and walked into the study, where Xiao Zhan was sitting behind a desk.

"Father, it seems you know I will come over tonight."

Xiao Tian came and sat down opposite Xiao Zhan, speaking with a little respect.

"You are my son. We have been father and son for more than ten years. I know your thoughts very well. You must have something to ask for your return."

Xiao Zhan touched his chin and laughed.

"I did come back this time to discuss some family matters with my father."

Xiao Tian lowered his head and thought for a while, then continued, "Father, do you know Xun'er's background?"

"Why do you suddenly ask this?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Xiao Zhan's eyes.

"Xun'er, when her father sent her to our Xiao family, he claimed to be from an extremely powerful family in Zhongzhou and had a certain relationship with our Xiao family. He said that Xun'er would live here for a while and someone would pick her up later."

"It's been more than ten years since I last stayed here, and the little girl has grown into a graceful young lady.

"But I didn't expect you to be so close to Xun'er, and even..."

"Did you meet someone from Xun'er's family?"

Xiao Tian shook his head and said, "No, when I broke through to the Fighter level, a figure suddenly appeared in my mind. He said he was the ancestor of my Xiao clan and told me the history and origin of our Xiao clan."

"What is the origin of our Xiao clan? Who is our ancestor?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan sat up straight instantly and asked with surprise on his face.

"He didn't say which ancestor it was, but told me that our Xiao clan was once one of the eight ancient clans that dominated Zhongzhou, and Xun'er was also from the Ancient Clan, one of the eight ancient clans, and is now the young clan leader of the Ancient Clan."

"He also mentioned that we should keep a jade piece safe. It is one of the keys to the cave of the last Doudi on the continent."

When Xiao Zhan heard what Xiao Tian said, he was stunned for a moment, and muttered to himself: "I didn't expect that girl Xun'er had such a great background."

Then Xiao Zhan came to his senses, stood up, went to the bookshelf, opened a hidden layer, took out a box, opened it and said, "Is this the jade piece you mentioned?"

Xiao Tian picked up the emerald green jade piece. There was a spot of light in the middle of it, which was swimming slowly, as if it was full of spirituality.

"Yes, based on what the ancestor showed, this is it."

"He told me that this piece of jade is called Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade. It is one of the eight keys to open the Dou Emperor's cave. The eight ancient clans each possessed one of them at the beginning."

Xiao Zhan also looked at the treasure passed down by the clan leader. He didn't expect that this small piece of jade had such a great origin.

"You mean, this jade piece might bring danger to the Xiao family? Xun'er is also from the Eight Ancient Clans. Did she come here for this jade piece?"

"However, I haven't seen her pay attention to or hint at this thing in all these years."

Xiao Zhan looked at the jade piece in Xiao Tian's hand with burning eyes, and suddenly felt that this jade piece was a hot potato, which might even bring about a catastrophic disaster.

"Yes and no. Xun'er came here because of pressure from the family elders, and her father also wanted Xun'er to have a relaxing childhood, so he agreed. But later, Xun'er was turned against me because of her good relationship with me."

"The Ancient Clan's approach is still relatively benevolent. The biggest threat is the other Soul Clan. This family has almost gone crazy for this jade piece and is searching the world for our whereabouts. If they knew, they would only snatch it with cruel means, or even exterminate our entire clan."

When Xiao Zhan heard that the clan would be exterminated because of this, his hands couldn't help but tremble.

"So you mean we've been exposed?"

"No, but the Soul Clan's minions, the Soul Palace, have already appeared in the Jia Ma Empire. I have fought with them before and have captured them alive. I also learned that their purpose is to find the whereabouts of my clan."

"Although the crisis has been resolved for the time being, there is still a risk of exposure at any time, so I want to discuss the family relocation with my father."

Xiao Tian put the jade piece back into the box and said softly with a serious expression.

"You're not hurt, then?"

Xiao Zhan asked worriedly when he heard about the fight between Xiao Tian and Zhongzhou's forces.

"I'm fine. My ancestors left me a lot of tricks that can be used to deal with them."

Xiao Tian shook his head slightly, and Xiao Zhan felt relieved after hearing that.

"Migrate? Where can we migrate to?"

Xiao Zhan also knew that the Xiao family might be in crisis at any time, but he had no idea where to go.

"I have already thought of a place, it just depends on whether you are willing, father."

Xiao Zhan laughed and scolded, "Your father is not the kind of old stubborn man who would wait for death to defend the clan land. If I can save the Xiao family, I don't care even if the clan members poke my spine. I will go to the three elders to negotiate now."

"Father, don't be so anxious. You haven't asked me where to migrate to."

Xiao Tian felt Xiao Zhan's trust in him and was deeply moved for a moment.

"Oh, yes, yes, you see I was too excited for a moment, haha."

Xiao Zhan just stood up and sat back in his chair angrily.

"I know that father is concerned about the family. Father, don't resist. I will take you to a place."

Xiao Zhan nodded when he heard this, indicating that he was ready. Xiao Tian waved his hand, and the two disappeared on the spot.
