Xiao Yulong's words made Xiao Lie's whole body tremble, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he stood there blankly.
Looking at Xiao Yulong's sinister sneer, he still didn't understand that the whispers he made in front of his son Xiao Ying's tomb that day... were all heard by him!
Xiao Yulong's words caused the scene to explode. Everyone opened their mouths and looked at Xiao Lie. When they saw Xiao Lie's unusual reaction, the surprise in people's hearts suddenly multiplied several times.
The voices of discussion also became louder.
Xiao Che was completely stunned. When he noticed Xiao Lie's reaction, he was completely stunned. Xiao Lingxi also had a dull expression and looked at Xiao Lie blankly.
"Jade Dragon! What's going on?" Xiao Yunhai frowned and asked in a deep voice.
Xiao Yulong turned sideways and said respectfully: "Back to father, when I went to the Houshan Cemetery to worship my ancestors a few days ago, I happened to meet the Fifth Elder. At that time, he was standing in front of the tombstone of his son Xiao Ying, muttering to himself.
What he was talking about... The kid heard it very clearly, he was saying... Xiao Che is not Xiao Ying's biological son at all!"
From Xiao Yulong's words just now and Xiao Lie's reaction, people had vaguely guessed this fact. But at this time, Xiao Yulong's words were so straightforward that it was still like a thunder exploding out of thin air. Everyone in the Xiao Clan was completely shocked.
Shocked, those who were familiar with and had good friendships with Xiao Lie had their eyes widened with disbelief on their faces.
"This..." Xiao Yunhai also looked shocked, and immediately said seriously: "Jade Dragon! This is a major matter related to bloodline, you must not talk nonsense!!"
Xiao Yulong said sternly: "Of course I don't dare to lie about such a big matter. Just ask the fifth elder to find out what the truth is...Fifth elder, I think you have heard clearly what I just said. If you
If Xiao Che is really your grandson, do you dare to swear by all the glory your son Xiao Ying had during his lifetime?"
All eyes were focused on Xiao Lie. He froze there, his expression becoming more and more bitter. For a long time, he did not speak or defend... His son Xiao Ying was the greatest pride of his life.
Even if he dies, it is impossible for him to swear an oath at the expense of all the glory that Xiao Ying had during his lifetime.
Xiao Che opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything at all. In his chest, a heavy feeling of depression quickly spread throughout his body.
"Dad, how could Xiao Che not be your biological grandson...Dad, please speak quickly and tell them!" Xiao Lingxi shook Xiao Lie's body vigorously and shouted in fear.
But Xiao Lie's whole body seemed to have turned to stone, and he didn't say a word for a long time. His face quietly became depressed, and his whole person seemed to have aged by more than ten years in the blink of an eye.
"Fifth Elder, what is going on? Is what Yulong said true?" Xiao Yunhai frowned and said to Xiao Lie with excitement on his face.
Xiao Lie slowly raised his head and took a deep breath. Xiao Yulong forced him to swear on his son Xiao Ying... This was something he could not do no matter what. So, this was something he had concealed for sixteen years.
, and it was destined that he could no longer hide it. He thought that this matter would be hidden for a lifetime, until the day he died, but he did not expect that it would happen in front of so many people in such a fast time and on such an occasion that he could never have expected.
His face was ruthlessly torn apart.
Xiao Lie's expression was acquiescing. Otherwise, he could have sworn to seal Xiao Yulong's mouth without any scruples. Everyone in the Xiao Clan was dumbfounded. Even Xia Qingyue's eyes were filled with astonishment. The whole time.
Xia Hongyi, who was standing silently on the outside, had a look of shock on his face... Xiao Che is not Xiao Ying's son? How could... be like this!!
"grandfather……"
Xiao Che walked in front of Xiao Lie, and every step he took was extremely heavy. Looking at his face that seemed to have aged a lot in an instant, Xiao Che's heart felt sour. He tried his best to stay calm and asked in a very soft voice.
: "Grandpa...can this be...real?"
Xiao Lie lowered his head and looked at Xiao Che. He smiled bitterly. In his somewhat cloudy eyes, there was a complexity that Xiao Che could not see clearly: "Although you are not my biological child, I have always been...
I treat you like your own grandson..."
The silence before was acquiescence, so this sentence is a clear recognition that everyone can hear!
The Xiao Clan suddenly exploded. This was undoubtedly the most explosive news they had heard in the Xiao Clan for so many years.
Xiao Che stayed there, silent for a long time, as if he had lost his soul. Xiao Lingxi was also stunned. She shook her head vigorously and shouted excitedly at Xiao Lie: "Dad! What are you talking about?
What... Xiao Che grew up with me and is the biological son of my brother Xiao Ying, so how can he not be your biological grandson... You must be joking... right!?"
A hand reached out and grabbed Xiao Lingxi's hand. Xiao Che's expression returned to normal at this time. He looked at Xiao Lingxi with a slight smile on his face and shook his head gently: "It's okay, little one.
Aunt. Grandpa has always been my grandfather, and you have always been my little aunt. We have always been the closest relatives. No matter whether there is a blood relationship or not, our feelings will not change... So, whether we are biological or not, really
Is it important?"
"Xiao Che..." Xiao Lingxi's eyes suddenly became hazy and foggy.
On the other side, several mad dogs that suddenly caught Xiao Lie's huge "handle" started barking wildly.
"It's so unreasonable! It's so unreasonable! The descendant that our Xiao Clan has raised for sixteen years is not my Xiao Clan's biological child, but a bastard with the blood of an outside sect... This is simply the biggest joke in the history of our Xiao Clan!
"Great Elder Xiao Li roared with anger on his face.
"Xiao Lie! You actually brought a bastard to our Xiao Clan and let our Xiao Clan cultivate it for sixteen years! Are you asking us to...how can I say this to you! Alas!" Third Elder Xiao Ze sighed heavily.
"You knew he was a bastard, but you still kept him in the Xiao Clan, enjoying the treatment of the elder's grandson! Xiao Lie, you actually deceived our entire family for sixteen years. If you were not lucky enough to be discovered by Yulong, you might have been deceived by you for the rest of your life.
.When the time comes, the blood of the descendants of the Xiao family will be mixed with the blood of outsiders! Xiao Lie, do you know how big a sin this is!" Fourth Elder Xiao Cheng pointed at Xiao Lie, his old face flushed with excitement.
The second elder, Xiao Bo, cursed: "No wonder all the descendants of my Xiao family have good talents, but suddenly such a useless person with a disabled profound vein appeared! It turns out that this useless person who has been raised by the Xiao family for sixteen years is actually a bastard! This should be passed on to others.
If we get out, our Xiao Clan will not become the laughing stock of Liuyun City!"
Not only the four elders, but also the middle-aged generation, the deacons and managers belonging to the four elders also stood up and accused Xiao Lie mercilessly. For a time, Xiao Lie became the target of public criticism.
"Fifth Elder, you are... this... ugh!" Xiao Yunhai's expression changed for a while, and he let out a long sigh.
"Haha, I really witnessed a very funny show. It took a lot of effort for the Xiao Clan to develop to what it is today, but there are still bastards from nowhere mixed in! Even I am ashamed of you!" Xiao Kuang
Yun opened his mouth, his voice still sharp and unpleasant. He glanced at Xiao Che and said calmly: "Today is the Xiao Clan's meeting. In addition to the Xiao Clan members, there are also guests who are allowed to enter. No idlers are allowed to exist! Xiao Clan Master
, What are you waiting for? If you haven’t kicked this bastard out of here, you will never be allowed to step foot into the Xiao Clan again!!"
"Ah... this..." Xiao Yunhai had an "unbearable" look on his face, but after hesitating, he gritted his teeth and faced Xiao Che and said: "Xiao Che, the fifth elder has admitted that you are not his grandson.
There is no blood of our Xiao family in your body at all... Although our Xiao family has raised you for sixteen years in vain, you have not known anything about these sixteen years. If there is anything to be pursued from you, it is obvious.
We are so mean and stingy...You go away, leave our Xiao family immediately, and have no grudges or grudges with my Xiao family from now on, and you are never allowed to step into my Xiao family again!"
Their eyes were focused on Xiao Che again, and many people sighed silently in their hearts. However, there was no look of pleading or sadness on Xiao Che's face. After hearing Xiao Yunhai's words, he just smiled slightly, his smile was plain and sarcastic: "No
Clan Master and elders are sorry, since I don’t belong to your Xiao Clan at all, then I will leave...and leave immediately!"
He stood in front of Xiao Lie, his eyes trembling. After a long time, he asked in confusion: "Grandpa... If I am not your grandson, then who are my biological parents?"
Xiao Lie knew he would ask this question a long time ago. He closed his eyes and shook his head slowly: "I don't know, Ying'er picked you up from outside. Even he doesn't know who your biological parents are..."
"..." From the complicated gleam in Xiao Lie's eyes, Xiao Che knew that these were not Xiao Lie's true words. He must know something about his true life experience, but in front of so many people, he didn't know anything about it.
Can't tell.
With a "pop", Xiao Che knelt down heavily in front of Xiao Lie and said sincerely: "Grandpa, although I am not your biological child, in the past sixteen years, you have treated me far better than your biological child. You have raised me and raised me."
I, protect me, spend countless energy and effort on me, sixteen years of kindness, but never repay it in my lifetime. I have always been extremely lucky to have such a good grandfather like you. Although I just found out today that I don’t have Xiao Xiao.
The blood of my family, but so what? You are my grandfather and I am your grandson. Even if the blood is different, this family affection will always be in my heart! As long as grandpa does not dislike it, I will always be your grandson!
"
After saying this, everyone who spoke felt a slight tremble in their hearts. Xiao Lie's eyes were quietly moist. He nodded heavily, said "Okay" in a hoarse voice, and then stepped forward to raise his hand, trying to help Xiao Che.
rise.
But Xiao Che avoided his hand, knelt down and kowtowed three times to Xiao Lie.
"Grandpa, little aunt, no matter what happens after I leave, you must protect yourself and take good care of yourself..."
When Xiao Che stood up, there was already a bruise on his forehead. But the smile on his face was still as gentle as the warm spring breeze. He turned around and walked calmly towards the door. He didn't want to leave... because of his grandfather and his little aunt.
He is still here, and he still wants to protect them with his life... But he must go, otherwise, his grandfather and little aunt will be implicated in unexpected ways. Moreover, even if he wants to stay, he will definitely be forcibly kicked out.
"Xiao Che!!"
Xiao Lingxi's sobbing cry came from behind. Xiao Che's footsteps paused slightly, but he did not stop or look back, and walked resolutely towards the door... No one knew that behind his quiet and peaceful appearance at this time,
Underneath, there are multiple levels of anger, resentment and murderous intentions hidden...
He has an extraordinary mind and city, but he has no power... Without power, he cannot fight, cannot protect his grandfather and little aunt, and does not even have the strength to struggle... he can only be expelled like this...
On the day he was just reborn, he longed for power, which was just an instinctive pursuit of powerful power. But at this time, his desire for powerful power was hundreds of times stronger than before...
He wanted to get powerful power, protect his grandfather and little aunt, wash away all the shame, wanted everyone who showed their ugly faces today to regret, wanted Xiao Kuangyun to die with no intact body... and even wanted the entire Xiao Sect to be there for it.
Pay a price that will never be forgotten!
"Protect the safety of my grandfather and little aunt...please..."
When passing by Xia Qingyue, Xiao Che said in a voice that only she could hear.
This man, who was full of mystery and arrogance, showed a deep pleading in his eyes when he said these words... Perhaps, he had never begged anyone in his life, so his pleading seemed particularly sharp.
Heart. Xia Qingyue's heart trembled heavily, and she felt suffocated for a moment... Almost involuntarily, she nodded slowly.
