"Xun'er, you're mistaken. It's always just the two of us in this room."
Xiao Yan doesn't want Xun'er to know what he's planning yet.
He knew Xun'er's true identity.
Before you've reached a certain level of strength, there are some things you shouldn't tell Xun'er.
The difference in their social status is like that between a rich, beautiful woman and a poor boy.
If the two want to be together, Xiao Yan needs to work even harder, at least to become a Dou Sheng level expert.
"Okay, Brother Xiao Yan, I came here because the elders asked you to come over, but it doesn't seem to be good news. Brother Xiao Yan, you have to be careful."
Xun'er sounded worried as she spoke.
Xiao Yan smiled dismissively.
"These old guys get more and more afraid of death as they get older. I understand, Xun'er. Thank you for letting me know."
Xun'er had a smile on her face.
However, his eyes turned cold when he recalled what the elders had said.
It's obvious that Xun'er already knows some things.
……
……
The Xiao family meeting room.
The First Elder and the Second Elder sat on either side.
Xiao Yan's father, Xiao Zhan, sat at the top of the table with a rather unpleasant expression.
The atmosphere was somewhat tense, clearly indicating that they had had an argument earlier.
As soon as Xun'er and Xiao Yan arrived at the door, they sensed the tense atmosphere inside.
This is the Xiao family's meeting room.
Jiang Nan did not go in.
He continued to wander around Utan City.
However, possessing a powerful divine sense, he was able to know everything happening around him.
This includes the meetings that Xiao Yan attended.
"Yan'er, you're here."
"Father, I'm here."
Xiao Yan cupped his hands and said.
The elder gave a soft snort.
He clearly looked down on Xiao Yan.
"Xiao Yan, do you know your mistake?"
The Second Elder seized the opportunity to launch an attack.
Xiao Yan frowned slightly; things had indeed turned out as he had expected.
"Second Elder, you must speak with evidence. When have I, Xiao Yan, ever done anything wrong?"
"Did Galeo of the Galeo family die because of you? Do you know that Galeo is convinced that you killed his child?"
The Second Elder slammed his fist on the table and said angrily.
It was as if he wanted to overwhelm Xiao Yan with some kind of imposing aura.
"If you want to find fault, you can always find a reason. Are you saying this because you think our Xiao family is afraid of the Jia Lie family?"
"Xiao Yan, don't be so quick to judge. If Jia Liebi fights us to the death, it will only cause losses to our family. In that case, the Obama family will benefit from it."
Seeing that Xiao Yan wasn't falling for it, the Second Elder immediately began to preach.
As long as I stand on the moral high ground, I am sacred and invincible.
The Second Elder's tone softened slightly.
"Xiao Yan, the family is in trouble and needs you..."
Xiao Yan understood the meaning behind the Second Elder's words.
He was sacrificed in exchange for peace.
If he were to fall into the hands of Galebi, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"You old dog, go to hell with trying to sacrifice me. Believe me or not, I'll kill you right now."
Xiao Yan stopped pretending. The other party was about to kill him, so what was the point of pretending anymore?
Sacrifice one useless person in exchange for the benefit of the majority.
I believe everyone would have to make a choice.
In the eyes of the First Elder and the Second Elder, Xiao Yan was a good-for-nothing who could be exchanged for personal gain.
Furthermore, it would be even better if this could bring Xiao Zhan down from his position.
The struggle for power is always somewhat brutal.
The Xiao family has only so many resources. If they want to secure more resources for their branch, they need more power.
There is no doubt that the position of clan leader grants such rights.
Moreover, neither the First Elder nor the Second Elder believed that Xiao Yan would die.
At most, his meridians and dantian would be destroyed. Anyway, he was a useless person to begin with, so this can be considered a waste of his resources.
In the Dou Qi Continent, the strong are respected, and the weak have no dignity.
"Xiao Yan is doing this for your own good, for the sake of the family. The family has raised you for so long, it's time for you to do your part."
The elder stroked his beard and spoke.
"enough!!!"
At this moment, Xiao Zhan spoke up. His face was extremely gloomy, and he could no longer suppress his anger. It was one thing for the First Elder and Second Elder to suppress him normally, but now they actually wanted to cripple his son. How could this be possible?
"Clan leader, this matter was originally caused by Xiao Yan. Don't forget that the Jia Lie family has declared war on us. If we engage in a business war, we will lose a lot of resources and money. If a conflict breaks out, the clan will suffer heavy casualties."
The elder spoke solemnly, seemingly still wanting to stand on the moral high ground and consider the interests of the family.
Anyway, it won't harm his lineage, so what's the harm in sacrificing others?
"Little Yanzi, it seems your family is quite fond of infighting."
Yao Lao's voice rang in Xiao Yan's mind.
Xiao Yan clenched his fist.
He has encountered similar situations many times in the past three years, being targeted and bullied, simply because he is a good-for-nothing.
"Elder, Second Elder, do you not understand what I'm saying? Don't forget I am the clan leader. Don't even think about sacrificing my Yan'er."
Xiao Zhan said coldly, "If it weren't for the contributions the First Elder and Second Elder have made to the family, I might have already flipped the table."
Before the First Elder and Second Elder could say anything more, Xiao Zhan slammed his hand on the table and coldly shouted.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. If that old dog Jialiebi really wants to do it, then let's do it. Anyway, we're not afraid. At worst, we'll see what he's really capable of."
The First Elder and the Second Elder exchanged a glance; their power was no match for that of the Clan Chief.
If Xiao Zhan persists in his own way, there's nothing they can do.
"Clan Chief Xiao Zhan, you will only push our clan into the abyss by doing this."
The elder stood up and said somewhat angrily, clearly very dissatisfied.
The meeting ended noisily, and no solution was ultimately reached.
However, Xiao Yan became even more determined to become stronger.
I need to become stronger quickly.
He was so powerful that no one could ignore his thoughts.
In this meeting, Xiao Yan had absolutely no choice.
No one paid any attention to his thoughts or words.
After the meeting ended, Xun'er noticed that Xiao Yan was sullen, so she spoke up.
"Brother Xiao Yan, don't worry, Uncle Xiao Zhan would never sacrifice you."
Xiao Yan nodded, but only gave a bitter smile.
"It's alright, Xun'er. I'll prove everything in a while."
"Yes, Brother Xiao Yan, I believe you."
Xun'er smiled; she truly believed in Xiao Yan.
Chapter 221, The Little Prince of Staying Up Late
Xiao Yan's fighting spirit was ignited by the belittling and ridicule from the clan elders.
So he began to abandon everything and devoted himself to cultivating immortality.
As the saying goes.
Taking drugs makes you feel good for a while, and taking drugs all the time makes you feel good all the time.
If I take drugs fast enough, even a genius can't catch up with me.
Xiao Yan began frantically refining pills and consuming medicine.
Clearly, what happened last time had greatly affected him.
As for the Jialie family, let's leave them alone for now as long as they don't cause any major trouble. When they become powerful enough, we can kill them or take them down in an instant.
