Chapter 158 The origin of the Xiao family and the Zhen family (4)

Speaking of this, Xiao Yao's eyes were full of gratitude to Zhen Ni's father. After calming down his emotions, he thought about it again and then continued: It is my request not to let outsiders know that we are a subsidiary family of the Zhen family.

; It was also a decision jointly made by me, Xiao Li, and Xiao Long to not ask for any favors from the Zhen family.

It's not that we want to get rid of the Zhen family, but because we don't want to live under the protection of the Zhen family forever as a low-ranking subordinate family. We want to find a path of self-improvement and prosperity on our own.

Regarding this, I have confessed to the head of the family. I told the head of the family that I want to lead the Xiao clan to rise with my own ability."

Xiao Yao gave a self-deprecating smile. At that time, I was known as the number one genius in the empire, and I was very conceited.

When I first broke through to the late four-star stage, the owner of the family personally sent someone a piece of seven-star inner armor, but I refused. I felt that I had the ability to break through to five-star on my own.

However, the road to self-improvement is so difficult. Just when I was making final preparations to survive the Five-Star Emperor Tribulation, I accidentally received the soul-eating mark of the Soul Demon Yi Clan. I didn’t know that the Soul Demon Yi Clan knew that we were an affiliated family of the Zhen family.

Whether it was deliberately targeted or purely accidental, in short, my path to self-improvement was cut off."

You all know what happens next. Therefore, the Zhen family has nothing against the Xiao family. It can only be said that the strength of the Xiao family determines that the status of the Xiao family in the Zhen family cannot be high, and the people of the Xiao family do not

It is very likely that he will be respected enough by the Zhen family. But I think that in the Dou Di Continent where strength is respected, the Zhen family is not wrong."

It turns out that this is the case. Only then did everyone completely understand the relationship between the Xiao clan and the Zhen family, and have some understanding of the Zhen family's attitude towards the Xiao clan.

Qing Haoran sighed: Yes, strength, everything depends on strength. Miss Zhenni, the second thing I need to know is to ask you. Although over the years, for some reason, the relationship between your father and your uncle has not been

Very harmonious, and there is a bit of an emotional gap with you, but the Xiao Mansion has important connections with the Business Alliance and Miss Zhen Ni. I don't believe that he doesn't pay attention to the Xiao Mansion. What I need to know is, how much does he really know about the Xiao Mansion?

In other words, did your uncle and you ever talk or reveal the inside story of Xiao Mansion to your father?"

When Qing Haoran mentioned the emotional estrangement between her and her father, Zhen Ni's expression turned slightly gloomy. However, when Qing Haoran asked her if she had revealed the inside story of Xiao Mansion to her father, Zhen Ni's face immediately showed a trace of sadness.

With a blush on her face, she calmed down, nodded, and said: I revealed it to my uncle. In order to obtain the prescription for the clear spirit liquid, the merchant alliance sent people out of the mansion to help Xiao Yan build the Xiao Mansion, and also formed a relationship with the Xiao Mansion.

As an ally, my father was very surprised, thinking that it was just for some money. He thought that my uncle was too condescending, and he didn't understand why he did this. Maybe it was because of this, and maybe I was in Xiao.

Maybe because of the Xiao Mansion, he paid special attention to the development of the Xiao Mansion. As for me, I deliberately revealed some things about the Xiao Mansion to my uncle. The purpose was to pass it on to my father through my uncle's mouth, so as to improve the Xiao Mansion's reputation in my father's mind.

status."

After everyone heard this, how could they not know that Zhen Ni did this so that her father could recognize Xiao Yan? They all cast meaningful glances at Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan felt moved in his heart, moved by Zhen Ni's good intentions, but

Thinking of Zhen Jian, all of Zhen Ni's efforts were in vain, and she couldn't help but cast an apologetic look at Zhen Ni.

Zhen Ni gave Xiao Yan a relieved smile, turned to Qing Haoran and asked nervously: Demon Emperor, now that you know the two things you need to know, what decision will you make?"

Qing Haoran seemed to deliberately make Zhen Ni anxious. He did not answer Zhen Ni immediately. Instead, he sighed that Miss Zhen Ni's intentions were really good. Then he turned his head and smiled meaningfully at Xiao Yan.

, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then looked at the extremely anxious Zhen Ni again, and said with a smile: If I were your father, not only would I not make any move that is detrimental to the Xiao family, but I would throw it at Xiao Yan.

Olive branch, even give the Xiao Mansion some benefits and try to win over Xiao Yan."

ah!"

Everyone was astonished, pleasantly surprised, and confused. Zhen Ni was even more overjoyed, and asked directly with bright eyes: Is it true? My father really will not vent his anger on Xiao Mansion? "

Qing Haoran shook his head with a smile on his face and said jokingly: I finally understand what caring means. Miss Zhen Ni, with your intelligence, your understanding of your father, and your judgment, don't you

You shouldn’t be able to make this judgment! You are just too worried about someone, and your heart is confused.”

Zhen Ni's face suddenly turned red and turned into the most beautiful cloud. She lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Qing Haoran. She glanced at Xiao Yan and then calmed down, raised her head, and whispered softly: "Demon"

Your Majesty, please stop making fun of Zhen Ni. Demon Emperor, Zhen Ni’s mind is a little confused, please ask the Demon Emperor to help clear up Zhen Ni’s confusion.”

Alas, women in love are really stupid. Qing Haoran sighed in his heart, thought about it, and said: Zhen Jian was abolished, which is indeed a great loss to the Zhen family, but...

The Xiao clan is a subsidiary family of the Zhen family. Now a peerless genius has appeared in the Xiao clan, and this peerless genius is better and more dazzling than Zhen Jian. He is definitely the first genius under the Five-Star Dou Emperor. Although this

The peerless genius does not have the surname Zhen, but he belongs to the Zhen family after all. In other words, when Xiao Yan abolished Zhen Jian, it was a peerless genius from the Zhen family who abolished another peerless genius from the Zhen family. You say, if

You are your father, would you go to war against the Xiao Mansion out of anger and kill Xiao Yan to vent your anger for Zhen Jian, who has been crippled?"

Zhen Ni was enlightened, and her eyes suddenly brightened: Yes, the Xiao family is a subsidiary family of the Zhen family, so Xiao Yan is the unique genius of the Zhen family! Why didn't I consider this?

Seeing Zhen Ni, Xiao Yao and everyone suddenly showing joy, only Xiao Yan didn't take it too seriously. Qing Haoran continued: With your father's shrewdness, after knowing the rapid development of the Xiao family, it is impossible to think of the Xiao family.

Sooner or later, it will develop into a big force. Any weak family, after it has the strength to compete with the big force it is affiliated with, will break away from being affiliated with that big force and become independent. Such examples are numerous in the Dou Di Continent.

Enumerate. Since no retaliatory action will be taken against the Xiao family, will your father show favor to the Xiao family after the Xiao family becomes a big force? Qing Haoran's tone suddenly worsened, no! He knows the difference between adding icing on the cake and giving help when it's time.

.So, no matter how low the Xiao clan’s status was in the eyes of the Zhen family in the past, just to win over the Xiao clan and Xiao Yanyan, he would pay special attention to the Xiao clan, and he would definitely pay special attention to the Xiao clan during the development process.

Show kindness to the Xiao Clan when they need help the most, and even give the Xiao Clan some support! But now, it is at such a time, and it happens that Xiao Yan has abolished Zhen Jian. Instead of pursuing the Xiao Clan, he shows favor to the Xiao Clan.

Well, it’s hard for the Xiao clan not to accept it!”

Wow!"

Everyone was overjoyed, and Qing Muer even jumped up with joy: So, is it right for the little liar to abolish the Zhen Sword? Brother, tell me, what kind of support will the Zhen family give to the Xiao clan?"

Qing Haoran smiled angrily and said: How do I know this? However, it should be what the Xiao clan needs most at the moment. There is no point in giving them what the Xiao clan doesn't need."

What does the Xiao Clan need most right now? What does the Xiao Clan need right now? It seems like there is no shortage of anything!

Zhen Ni, who was no longer worried, regained her shrewdness, her eyes moved, and she blurted out: Territory? A good territory? "

Everyone's eyes widened, and Xiao Yan's heart also moved. Yes, what the Xiao clan needs most at the moment is a good piece of territory.

Le Shaolong said ecstatically: Haha, a bad thing has turned into a good thing. In this way, the rise of the Xiao clan will be faster! But when he saw that Xiao Yan was not happy, he immediately understood what Xiao Yan was worried about, and he couldn't help but worry.

Said, it’s just that there is no free lunch in the world. If the Zhen family gives these benefits to the Xiao family, they will definitely require the Xiao family to disclose the identity of the family affiliated to the Zhen family and impose certain restrictions on the Xiao family. It will be difficult for the Xiao family to be like them again.

I used to be so independent, I'm worried that Mr. Xiao may not be happy with it."

Le Shaolong's words made everyone turn their attention to Xiao Yan.

Zhen Ni was even more happy and secretly sweating. She knew Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan usually seemed easy-going and even a little dull, but he was extremely stubborn by nature and had no sense of belonging to the Zhen family. If Xiao Yan thought

This is another form of threat from the Zhen family. If she refuses to accept it, the relationship between the Xiao family and the Zhen family will directly face breakdown. The possibility of her and Xiao Yan getting together will become extremely slim. She is very afraid of Xiao Yan.

She said no. But her expression did not show any expectation. She knew that Xiao Yan must be very entangled at this time. She hoped that Xiao Yan could make a decision after careful consideration and weighing. At the same time, she also wanted to see

Let’s see how much she holds in Xiao Yan’s heart.

I have to say that Zhen Ni really understands Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan is indeed in extreme tangle at this time, and it is almost exactly what Zhen Ni thinks.

If the Zhen family extends an olive branch to me, it may seem like it will help the Xiao family's rise, but in fact it is a disguised threat, using the Zhen sword to threaten our existence as a subsidiary family of the Zhen family forever.

But I don’t have any sense of belonging to the Zhen family. If it weren’t for Zhen Ni, I wouldn’t even feel that I have any relationship with the Zhen family. Why should I be attached to the Zhen family? Just because I’m afraid that if I don’t accept it, I will refute the head of the Zhen family.

Face, will the head of the Zhen family fight against the Xiao Mansion in anger? Damn it, am I, Xiao Yan, a person who is afraid of trouble? As long as the Xiao Mansion has another period of development, who is afraid and who doesn't know yet!

But if I don't accept it, Zhen Ni's father will definitely hate me to death, and it will be difficult for Zhen Ni and I to get together, and I will have betrayed all the affection that Zhen Ni has for me. How should I choose?"

For a long time, Xiao Yan did not make a decision. He raised his eyes with difficulty and asked feebly: I would like to ask everyone to help me analyze, what will be the consequences if I reject the olive branch extended by the Zhen family?"

Zhen Ni secretly thought, and sure enough, her heart suddenly tightened.

Qing Haoran immediately answered: I think Zhen Zongfu will feel a great loss of face. To put it harshly, he will think that you are shameless and will definitely be angry. But he will not go to war with the Xiao clan, after all, he will win over him.

It will be very unpleasant to tell if you don't go to war, not to mention that the leader of the Merchant Alliance Zhen Bufan will definitely mediate for you, and Miss Zhen Ni is also in Xiao Mansion."

Zhen Ni shook her head bitterly. My presence here won't make much difference. At most, it is the smallest factor that my father will consider. She crossed her arms nervously, tapping her arms lightly with her jade fingers, thinking as she said,

However, what the Demon Emperor said is very reasonable. The possibility of taking action against the Xiao Mansion should be unlikely, but my father will definitely put forward conditions for me to completely break away from the Xiao Mansion and return to the Merchant Alliance, thus severing all ties with the Xiao Mansion.

"No communication"

As soon as Zhen Ni said this, everyone's expressions suddenly became solemn, and they were all worried about what Xiao Yan would decide. To be continued.
