"Uncle, why did you come to my place today?" Xiao Qing saw Xiao Wenchen coming to Qingzhu Xiaolou, as if nothing had happened, and ordered Xia Yan to bring tea, and said calmly.
"Qing'er, you are a smart person. Aren't you asking questions knowingly? My uncle knows that this matter has wronged you, but you also know that with the current family situation, someone has to make some sacrifices." Xiao Wenchen said.
"Aren't my sacrifices and contributions to the family enough?" Xiao Qing asked calmly.
Xiao Wenchen's expression stiffened slightly when he heard this, but he soon calmed down and said: "Xiao Qing, uncle knows that you have resentment in your heart, but early tomorrow morning, you must go to Sitian Supervision Gou Mansion!"
Hearing this, Xiao Qing's lips curled into a disdainful sneer.
"Actually, with the current situation of our Xiao family, we shouldn't have to compromise to such an extent. After all, uncle, you are still too cowardly and not as decisive and strong as my grandfather back then!
How can we say that our Xiao family was once the most famous family in Fangshu City. As the head of the family, you have been so cowardly and tolerant in everything. How can you let the people below you condense into a force? Once the people's hearts are scattered, it will be very difficult to gather them again.
Difficult!
When encountering a narrow road, the brave wins. Sometimes retreating is not a way out, but a dead end. Only by taking the initiative to move forward can we create a broader world.
It was a mistake if you didn't have the guts to risk your life to keep your position as a county captain back then, and it's an even bigger mistake if you have retreated again and again in recent years.
Think about it, how many people who originally vassalized us have left? Even the Lu family, which we and the Yu family originally supported together, has completely turned to the Yu family now.
Even the Lu family, which has received great favor from us, is like this. Now you want to use me to win over Bai Xiuqi, or to unite with Xujiabao. You think I am not strong enough to use as a trump card. Is this useful?
If a disaster really comes, I'm afraid I will either be betrayed by them or have to kneel in front of them and beg for my life.
If we really get to this point, uncle, please tell me how you will face the underworld..." The more Xiao Qing spoke, the colder his face became, and his tone became more and more severe.
In fact, Xiao Qing wanted to say these words a long time ago, but she lost her strength, her status in the family plummeted, and she was humble and humble, so she had no chance to say it.
Today she finally spoke out without restraint!
"How presumptuous! Who are you, how can you talk to your uncle like this?" Before Xiao Qing could say the next words, Xiao Wenbai strode forward with a livid face, raised his hand and was about to slap Xiao Qing.
"Just because I am the future elder of the family that Grandpa had appointed!" Xiao Qing saw her father raising his hand to hit him. She sat on the chair and remained motionless. She just said something lightly and raised her hand slightly.
When Xiao Qing raised her hand, it brought up a strong wind, and then formed a blue dragon claw shadow, grabbing her father's wrist.
"Transform with strength! Blue Dragon Claws! You..." Xiao Wenchen stood up suddenly, staring at the phantom of the cyan dragon claw that gently grasped Xiao Wenbai's wrist. The scales on the phantom dragon claw looked lifelike.
, as if it were true, this shows that the changes in Qinglong Xuanmu Jin have reached a very high and profound level.
Even if Xiao Wenchen is the head of the Xiao family, a powerful person, and has been immersed in the "Qinglong Xuanmu Kung" for decades, he still feels that he is not like this.
"Qing'er, you, you..." Xiao Wenbai was even more shocked.
The familiar but extremely powerful breath invaded his body along his wrist, and the shock to him was stronger than what Xiao Wenchen had seen with his own eyes.
"That's right, I not only restored my cultivation, but I also broke through and then stood up again. I went a step further and broke through to the realm of transformation." Xiao Qing withdrew the power of transformation and said calmly.
"As expected! As expected!" Although the brothers Xiao Wenchen and Xiao Wenbai knew that they were not wrong, they were still extremely excited when they heard Xiao Qing admit it personally.
After a while, Xiao Wenchen gradually calmed down and looked at Xiao Qing with a slightly unnatural look on his face.
"Qing'er, since you have broken through to the realm of transforming energy, why didn't you tell your uncle earlier? This caused your uncle..."
"The more people who know the secret, the more dangerous it will be. If you hadn't pushed too hard, I would have wanted to hide it for a while. But even if I am exposed now, except for the core members of the family, I must not let anyone else
I know." Xiao Qing interrupted, looking serious.
"You suspect..." Xiao Wenchen's body shook slightly, and his eyes revealed a murderous intent.
"Don't you have any doubts, uncle?" Xiao Qing asked.
Xiao Wenchen was silent for a long time, then he looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh and said to Xiao Wenbai: "Fourth brother, my father used to value Xiao Qing so much that he even made a rule that as long as Xiao Qing breaks through to the realm of Huajin, if he doesn't marry outside the family for a day, it will be a day.
He is the eldest elder of the family. At that time, I was somewhat unconvinced. Now I know that my father's vision is definitely not comparable to mine. Xiao Qing's thoughts are more careful than those of our elders. It seems that the Xiao family can be here.
It depends on Xiao Qing to protect yourself or even rise in troubled times!"
"Brother, you are serious. Xiao Qing is still young after all..." Xiao Wenbai said humbly after hearing this.
"Wen Bai!" Xiao Wenchen raised his hand to interrupt and said with a serious expression: "You have to remember that you are Xiao Qing's father in terms of blood, but in the family, Xiao Qing is now the elder and has the same status as me. Even if you
You have to listen to her on family matters."
Xiao Wenbai's expression froze when he heard this. It took him a while to digest the information, nodded and said, "I understand, brother."
"Xiao Qing, what are your plans next?" Xiao Wenchen turned to Xiao Qing and asked in a deep voice.
"Everything remains as usual, but in terms of cultivation resources, you must satisfy me as much as possible!" Xiao Qing said.
"Of course, not only will all kinds of cultivation resources be given priority to you, but I will also hand over the family's last secret medicine to you for safekeeping later." Xiao Wenchen said solemnly.
The Xiao family is not a local overlord like Xujiabao who has only been around for a short time. They are a truly prominent family in Fangshu City. They have a long history. Their ancestors have also had people who entered the capital and became officials. They have a deep foundation and their collection can help Hua Jin break through.
Secret medicine.
This is also the reason why the Xiao family has had great bone-refining martial arts masters in every dynasty, and has held the position of lieutenant of Fangshan County for generations.
It's just that the Xiao family has passed its glorious era, and each generation has become worse than the last. The treasured secret medicine is constantly being consumed, and now only the last one is left.
"Brother..." Xiao Wenbai was shocked when he heard this.
"Eight years ago, I tried once. Now that I am in my sixtieth year, the chance of success is already very slim. I only stepped into Huajing after I had known my fate for three years, and my hope was even slimmer than mine. My father also saw it during his lifetime.
At this point, we firmly established the rule that once Xiao Qing breaks through to the level of strength, she will be appointed as the great elder.
She is only twenty-three years old now. Even if it takes another ten or twenty years, as far as the Huajin martial artist is concerned, she is still at her peak and has not started to decline yet. And with Xiao Qing's innate talent and understanding, as long as she
If you can cultivate to the point of breaking through the threshold and take the secret medicine, you will be successful nine times out of ten.
Once Xiao Qing becomes a great bone refining master, given her age, even though Pang Qiwei is extremely talented and has iron-clad arms, he will not be her opponent sooner or later because of his old age." Xiao Wenchen waved his hand to interrupt Xiao Wenbai,
There was a look of excitement and anticipation in his eyes.
At this moment, Xiao Wenchen, as the head of the family, finally exuded the strength and confidence he should have.
"Even at Pang Qiwei's current age, once I step into the realm of bone refining, he will not be my opponent!" Xiao Qing stood up and said.
Having said that, he lifted up his sleeves, and with a surge of energy and blood, the smooth and delicate skin seemed to be covered with pieces of blue scales, and the scales exuded a little metallic luster.
Iron sheet is just a conceptual general term.
For people who practice different martial arts, the specific external manifestations of the skin they develop are different.
Cold Iron Palm is a skill with iron properties, so once it is made into iron sheet, it will be like being covered with a layer of iron sheet.
The Xiao family's technique is called "Qinglong Xuanmu Kung Fu", and the iron skin made from it is like Qinglong scale armor.
