Chapter 401: Dismounting
The people guarding the garden dared not look at Xiao Yan at the right moment. They could not recognize him as the young man he had scolded him back then, but they kept nodding and bowing in a timid manner.
Xiao Yan was too lazy to look at him more and waved his hand to let him leave.
"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Little Amy screamed excitedly after entering Baicao Garden, and rushed out.
"Slow down!" Ivy quickly followed.
Xiao Yan glanced and found that as I remembered, there were flowers blooming in it. There was a hill in the garden, and there was a small bridge and flowing water below. It did not lose the atmosphere of the north and the beauty of the south. It combined the two well. The person who built the Baicao Garden back then was definitely an expert.
"Xiao Chao, have you learned martial arts?" Xiao Yan asked Xiao Chao beside him casually.
The boy was as delicate and timid as a big girl. His face turned red to the base of his neck. He lowered his head embarrassedly and replied, "I don't have the talent for martial arts, so I haven't learned it."
In this world, it is a very regrettable that you cannot become a martial arts person, especially a family like the Xiao family. Those who do not know martial arts basically have no future. At most, they can only manage civil affairs and cannot enter the core level. Like Xiao Chao, that is, Xiao Dingyuan, sees him pitiful and wants to help him.
"Don't be discouraged. It's good to be an ordinary person. Ordinary people have the happiness of ordinary people." Xiao Yan patted his shoulder, "Not like a martial arts person, you have to live a life of licking blood from the edge of a knife."
"But, I think--" Xiao Chao's head lowered and his voice lowered. He was not shy, but was too inferior.
Seeing his dejected look, Xiao Yan felt compassion in his heart and couldn't help but smile and said, "If you really want to, one day I will get the Shenzhao Pill to help you cut down your tendons, marrow and reshape the Taoist foundation."
Xiao Chao raised his head as he heard this, his eyes emitted unprecedented light, and then he nervously grabbed Xiao Yan's hand: "Master, you are not kidding, are you saying that I can also go to martial arts?"
"Haha, yes, but it depends on the opportunity." Xiao Yan looked at Ivy who was playing with her daughter not far away, and sighed in his heart. He really hoped Ivy would embark on martial arts, but her luck was too bad. The Divine Shooting Pill almost didn't work. He could only wait outside the domain to find the awakening spirit grass to see if it could activate her mental talent.
"Head of the Family!" Xiao Chao gritted his teeth and knelt in front of him with a loud bang, "I beg the head of the family to make a contribution, Xiao Chao promises to follow you as a cow or a horse for the rest of his life!"
As he said that, his eyes looked up to Xiao Yan with infinite expectations. There was something he didn't say, as long as he could practice martial arts, he could do anything. His greatest wish in his life was to practice martial arts.
Xiao Yan saw that his determination could make a person with extreme inferiority, which shows how strong his obsession was, and it can be seen that he had become a demon in practicing martial arts.
"Keep a normal mind, otherwise you will not go far even if you can go to martial arts." Xiao Yan poured some cold water on him.
"Please help from the head of the family!" Xiao Chao was unmoved and still knelt down and refused to get up.
"Get up, I promise you that, but I have to wait for the opportunity. The Shenzhao Dan doesn't mean that there is anything." Xiao Yan smiled and reached out to pull him up.
With such an episode, Xiao Chao was obviously much more cheerful, and he was more proactive and dedicated to entertaining Xiao Yan. It can be seen that he still has great potential. He seemed inferior and cowardly because of his heart knot. Now, seeing hope, he was full of glory and became more energetic.
Half an hour later.
The Xiao family came one after another and entered the small auditorium in the center of Baicao Garden.
Their expressions were a little weird, and they whispered in groups of three or two, as if they were afraid that others would hear them.
Xiao Dingyuan watched coldly, knowing that something was going to happen again at today's meeting, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The Xiao family really couldn't stand the tossing.
But there is no way. Others are slight and no one listens to what they say. Especially Xiao Chaogui's group of people, they must jump out and go against Xiao Yan.
"I don't think about it. Even the fourth elders acquiesced to Xiao Yan into the Xiao family. What's there to do you have to do to get humiliated by yourself!" Xiao Dingyuan sneered secretly.
He had reminded them, but they obviously didn't listen.
After almost everyone came, none of the elders in the front row arrived. Only then did someone call quietly and notify the elders in the room.
The Xiao family has thirteen bedrooms, and the big one belongs to the direct family branch of the head. It was Xiao Su before and then Xiao Yan. Now that it is back to Xiao Yan's hands, it is equivalent to returning to Xiao Su's lineage.
No matter what, Xiao Yan is Xiao Su's direct grandson.
"Call us here, where are others?" Xiao Chaogui was the last one among the elders. After scanning the circle, he didn't see Xiao Yan. His old face suddenly sank, "Hmph! He thought he had some skills and went crazy. Who among them was not his elders. Before he could sit down, he began to show his character in front of his elders. It shows that his character is not good."
His words resonated with many Xiao family members. It was unhappy to accept a junior leader. The attitude of this junior was not correct, which would be even worse. The Xiao family is everyone's Xiao family. Without their cooperation, it would be useless to let that junior be powerful!
They were very confident. Xiao Yan summoned them to establish a good relationship with them. Otherwise, they would have to stare at them as soon as they gave up.
But Xiao Chaoli didn't think so. He glanced at Xiao Chaogui and said lightly: "The next wave of the Yangtze River pushes the previous wave, so we old guys can't accept our old age."
"Hmph! If you want to please and flatter that little bastard, don't pull us!" Xiao Chaogui sneered and without hesitation, he held a big hat on his head.
His intentions are very sinister. If anyone follows the trend and supports Xiao Yan, it is to please and be despised.
At this moment, Xiao Yan arrived. He held his daughter and followed Ivy next to him. Xiao Chao had a strong eye to tell him, making the Xiao family look at him.
This kid usually looks depressed, but today he moves very quickly and just holds his thighs.
"Xiao Chao, when did you change your career as a traitor?" Xiao Dingtao said sarcastically.
"Uncle Dingtao, I respect you as an elder. I respect you very much, but you can't harm me like this. Uncle Dingyuan arranged for me to receive the head of the family. What did I do wrong?" Xiao Chao fought back angrily.
"That's right, it was my arrangement." Xiao Dingyuan supported Xiao Chao for a moment. In fact, he was also secretly surprised. How long has it been so long, Xiao Chao seemed to have changed so much.
Especially Xiao Chao's spirit, it was a complete transformation, which was incredible!
Seeing that Xiao Chao dared to refute him, Xiao Dingtao was furious and pointed at his nose aggressively and cursed: "Xiao Chao, what are you? Is there any part of your conversation here?"
Xiao Chao glanced at Xiao Yan, and saw Xiao Yan's calm face, he felt relieved inexplicably and retorted: "Uncle Dingtao's words are wrong. This is the Xiao family. I am the Xiao family, why can't I speak anymore!"
"Damn it!"
Xiao Dingtao was even more embarrassed and wanted to slap Xiao Chao in the face.
From the corner of Xiao Chao's eyes, Xiao Yan could still look like he was falling in front of Mount Tai without changing color. He gritted his teeth, reached out to block Xiao Dingtao's hand, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Dingtao, my patience is limited, please respect yourself!"
"Don't call me uncle. I don't have such a cowardly nephew. How far is it for me to get out!" Xiao Dingtao was furious when he saw that Xiao Chao, who was usually too cowardly, dared to resist.
Another slap with his backhand.
Bang!
His hand had just been raised, and before he could slap it down, he was as if he was being held in the air and could no longer move.
It was Xiao Yan who took action and strangled his wrist.
If it weren't for the wife and children, and if they didn't want to leave a bad impression of violence on them, Xiao Yan would have slapped him away long ago.
"Xiao Dingtao, please tell me now what is the second rule of the Xiao family." Xiao Yan said coldly.
As a member of the Xiao family, you must be familiar with the rules of the Xiao family, otherwise you will be unworthy children and will be attacked by the crowd. Don’t talk about Xiao Dingtao, even Xiao Chaogui must remember it, otherwise it will be looked down upon and there will be no weight in speaking.
