As the new head of the Xiao family, Xiao Lin said a few words and thanked all the guests.
After Xiao Lin finished speaking, Xiao Sheng also said a few words, including his expectations for Xiao Lin to take charge of the Xiao family and his expectations for the future of the Xiao family.
Finally, it’s Xiao Yi’s turn.
He is the innate ancestor of the Xiao family, the Dinghai Shenzhen of the Xiao family, and the highest-ranking person!
It was natural for him to announce such a big thing.
"Brother Chen, I now believe that the stronger you are, the longer you will live."
Bai Ye looked at Xiao Yi and whispered to Xiao Chen.
"Of course, so if you want to grow old and not die, you have to practice hard and make yourself stronger! A hundred years old is nothing in the ancient martial arts world."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"To be too old to die is to be a thief... People who are often called 'too old to die' are not very pleasant to call."
Bai Ye muttered.
"Then go die."
Xiao Chen was not angry.
"..."
The white night is silent.
"Old man Xiao Yi, everyone here should know it, so I won't introduce it in detail... He has been in seclusion for many years. Now that he is out of seclusion, not only has the outside world undergone earth-shaking changes, but even the Xiao family has also undergone earth-shaking changes!"
Xiao Yi was dressed in a gray robe, with white hair and a white beard. His temperament was also extraordinary, and he looked somewhat immortal.
"Today, I am announcing two things. One is that Xiao Lin has been appointed as the new head of the Xiao family. I would also like to thank you all for coming to witness it. From today on, Xiao Lin is the head of the Xiao family and can represent my Xiao family!"
Xiao Lin turned around and bowed to Xiao Yi.
"Xiao Lin, I just said everything I needed to say, just one sentence - I believe in your ability. From today on, you will be the master of the Xiao family. Just do what you have to do without looking forward or backward!"
Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Lin and said seriously.
"Thank you, ancestor."
Xiao Lin nodded.
After Xiao Yi said a few more words, many people were curious about the second thing he announced.
Could it be related to Xiao Chen?
Many people looked at Xiao Chen. Has he returned to the Xiao family?
I heard before that there was something going on between Xiao Chen and the Xiao family. Although the outside world didn’t know what the situation was, Xiao Chen had already left the Xiao family!
I'm afraid I came back this time just for the purpose of returning.
"The second thing is that I announce... Xiao Chen returns to the Xiao family and becomes a member of the Xiao family! Similarly, he can also represent my Xiao family in the outside world. His meaning is the meaning of my Xiao family!"
Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Chen and said slowly.
Xiao Chen was stunned when he heard Xiao Yi's words.
Xiao Yi chose to let him return. He was surprised, but actually he was not surprised either.
What really surprised him was Xiao Yi's last sentence. To the outside world, did he represent the Xiao family? What he meant was the Xiao family's meaning?
Immediately, he looked at Xiao Lin and found that Uncle Qi's expression had not changed much. Obviously... he had known about this for a long time!
Not only Xiao Chen was surprised, everyone at the scene was also surprised, and then there were comments.
The meaning of Xiao Yi's words is not simple!
From now on, not only Xiao Lin can represent the Xiao family, but Xiao Chen can too!
But thinking about it again, they felt that it was normal. With Xiao Chen's current strength, he could represent the Xiao family.
"Xiao Chen, today, you enter the ancestral hall!"
Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Chen and said slowly.
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Yi, then at Xiao Sheng, Xiao Lin and others, and smiled bitterly in his heart. Will he still choose to let him come back after all?
He and Xiao Yi talked a lot on Xiantian Peak, and finally handed over the decision-making power to Xiao Yi.
He analyzed the pros and cons of returning to Xiao Yi's family and found that the cons actually outweighed the pros.
At least that's what it looks like!
But Xiao Yi still made a choice to let him return!
"Yes, old... ancestor."
Thoughts flashed through his mind, Xiao Chen took a deep breath, stepped forward, and bowed.
He almost called out "Lao Xiao", but thinking about the presence of so many people, he finally changed his tune.
Hearing Xiao Chen's address, Xiao Yi smiled and felt a little proud. Boy, let me call you 'Old Xiao' for a few days. See, don't you still have to call 'Old Ancestor' now?
However, he still liked Xiao Chen calling him 'Old Xiao', which seemed to be closer to him than 'Old Ancestor'.
Later, including the guests, they also went to the ancestral hall.
Of course, they didn't go in, but waited outside.
As the new head of the Xiao family, Xiao Lin wanted to go in and pay homage to his ancestors, and then tell them about this.
This is a required procedure.
"Xiao Chen, please come too."
Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Chen and said slowly.
"Enter the ancestral hall, worship your ancestors, and tell them... your return."
"good."
Xiao Chen hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Walk."
Under the leadership of Xiao Yi, Xiao Sheng, Xiao Lin and Xiao Chen, including the clan elders from the clan elders' association, also went in one after another.
Under the witness of the clan elders meeting, Xiao Lin and Xiao Chen bowed separately.
Xiao Bo also came. Today was such a big event that he thought about it.
He looked at Xiao Chen with a somewhat complicated expression. Xiao Chen was finally back.
Thinking of the dead Xiao Wei and others, he sighed in his heart, if he had known about this, why did he do it in the first place?
In the end...he ended up not being able to even enter the ancestral hall!
After the Xiao family came out of the ancestral hall, the visitors held their hands in succession, congratulating Xiao Lin on becoming the head of the family and congratulating Xiao Chen on his return.
"When Xiao Chen returns, the Xiao family...will definitely be brilliant!"
Someone looked at Xiao Chen and said slowly.
"That's not necessarily true. The Xuantian Sect and the Ximen Family are targeting the Xiao family. If the rumors are true, there will be trouble for the Xiao family in the future."
"Well, not only the Xuantian Sect and the Ximen Family, but Xiao Chen has a lot of treasures, there are still many people who are watching him."
"Xuanyuan Sword?"
"yes."
"With his current strength, does anyone still dare to take a chance on him?"
"He can only compete with half-step innates. In the ancient martial arts world, there are not many half-step innates, but there are some. If they target Xiao Chen, there will be trouble."
"Yes, the Xuanyuan Sword is related to the inheritance of Emperor Xuanyuan. Even the innate masters have to be tempted... For Half-step Xiantian, the path to innateness is broken and there is no upward direction! As for Xiantian, their
The road is also cut off, what is there above the innate? Why is the innate that exists today closed? In addition to delaying the passage of life, it is also to explore what is above the innate and to find a way."
"The ancestor of the Xiao family has come out of seclusion. Just now, Zhuge Qingyang said that the ancestor of the Zhuge family has also come out of seclusion. I heard that there are several innate masters who have also come out of seclusion in the near future... You said that they have been in seclusion in the past.
Why are all the Xiantian people leaving seclusion one after another? Is something big going to happen in the ancient martial arts world?"
"I think so. Otherwise, why would they come out? There must be something big going on."
"It's not peaceful. We still have to strengthen our own strength."
For a time, there was constant discussion, and the news spread as quickly as possible.
Whether the Xiao family has a new head or not is not a big concern to the top powers.
But when Xiao Chen returns, the meaning is different!
A half-step congenital person in his twenties is too scary!
What makes them even more horrified is that Xiao Chen's true state is not half-step innate, but the middle stage of energy transformation!
This is even scarier!
How many small realms have been crossed? It’s too exaggerated!
And this also illustrates Xiao Chen's potential!
If Xiao Chen is given more time, will he be able to fight against the innate master?
Or when Xiao Chen's realm reaches the perfection of energy transformation and half-step innateness, how strong will his combat power be?
Just thinking about it makes many people shudder!
Although some people have no grudge against Xiao Chen, they still have the idea of destroying him.
Because the rise of such a monster will definitely change the entire ancient martial arts world!
In the past, Xiao Chen was alone, but now... there is the Xiao family behind him.
It’s even more terrifying!
"Old Xiao, are you sure you won't regret letting me come back?"
Xiao Chen found an opportunity and asked Xiao Yi in a low voice.
"What are you regretting? The Xiao family cannot be established until it is destroyed. If you want to be reborn, you must pay the price... Destruction is accompanied by rebirth."
Xiao Yi shook his head.
"Of course, there is another important reason for me to make the decision."
"what reason?"
Xiao Chen asked curiously.
"A perfect match."
Xiao Yi said four words.
"A good match?"
Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment. What does the preface and the follower mean?
"Girl Ning, Girl Nangong, the Ye family and the Zhuge family... Although our Xiao family is weak now, it is still a twelfth family, right? Only when you return can you be on par with them. I am doing this for you.
It’s a life-long matter.”
Xiao Yi said with a smile.
"..."
Xiao Chen was speechless, damn, that's what happened.
"No, Lao Xiao, you said Sister Xianzi, Ling'er, and Ziyi, I recognized them all. Xixi and I have nothing to do with each other. Don't talk nonsense. I treat her as my younger sister."
"Hey, didn't you call me 'Old Ancestor' just now? Why did you become 'Old Xiao' again in the blink of an eye?"
Xiao Yi stared.
"You can scream a few times in front of outsiders, but do you still take it seriously?"
Xiao Chen curled his lips.
"..."
Xiao Yi rolled his eyes, then you can yell at me for a few days to let me have a good time, okay? In less than an hour, I will be beaten back to my original shape again?
But when he thought of something, he became more serious: "Boy, I've asked about it. Now the outside world has been speculating about your strength. Many people have thoughts about you."
"Have you got an idea? What, you want me to be your son-in-law?"
Xiao Chen looked amused.
"Seriously, I want to destroy you and take away the Xuanyuan Sword... You are so strong, many people think that you should have received the inheritance from Emperor Xuanyuan. What they want is the inheritance from Emperor Xuanyuan."
Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Chen and said seriously.
"The inheritance of Emperor Xuanyuan will impress even an innate master."
"Well, I understand."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Old Xiao, are you tempted?"
"nonsense."
Xiao Yi was not angry.
"However, even if you are not a member of the Xiao family, I would not bother to do anything like robbery."
"Haha, if I really get the inheritance from Emperor Xuanyuan, I will tell you later."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"I want it too, but this broken knife... except that it is sharper and has never lost against other knives, I haven't found any inheritance so far, not even the hair of the inheritance."
"..."
Xiao Yi was speechless. If the outside world knew about this boy's attitude towards the Xuanyuan Sword, they would probably jump up.
