Ye Xiu frowned, a little dissatisfied with Xu Shanyin being so flustered, but after thinking about it, he realized that the other party was probably pretending to win his sympathy.
This kid is actually very scheming!
"What did your uncles say?" Ye Xiu asked directly.
He is also aware of Xu Shanyin's situation. The ability to inherit the Xu family depends entirely on the support of the old man. Now that the old man is gone, if he wants to continue to control the Xu family, the attitude of his uncles is very important.
"They didn't say anything!" Xu Shanyin replied with some disappointment.
I even felt a little regretful.
I regretted not telling those uncles what my eldest brother had done.
Back then, his eldest brother wanted to poison his father, but Ye Xiu resolved it. However, the matter was a family scandal after all. Since his father chose to spare his eldest brother's life, he did not publicize it everywhere, and even severely punished anyone who disclosed the matter to the outside world, which caused his own consequences.
Those uncles did not know that their eldest brother had wanted to poison his father, and they only thought that his father didn't like him, so they drove him back to the old house.
Apart from himself and Ye Xiu, the only people who know the truth now are the second brother.
The second brother and the eldest brother are from the same mother. In the absence of his father, he must be on the side of the eldest brother. It is impossible for him to stand up and tell the truth to those uncles. And if he tells it, who will believe it?
If his uncle had known about this, even if his eldest brother came back, with their loyalty to their father, who would support him?
Ye Xiu didn't think so much. He just sighed lightly and said nothing. This was a statement in itself.
Mr. Xu had already made a will before his death, and Xu Shanyin inherited the Xu family. He even personally ordered the eldest son of the Xu family to be driven back to his hometown. Now that Mr. Xu had just left, Xu Shanyin’s eldest brother had already rushed back. If Xu Shanyin’s uncles really stood up
On his side, he should have stood up and condemned Xu Shanshan at this time, but they did nothing. This in itself was a kind of acquiescence.
But it's normal to think about it. Most of Xu Shanyin's uncles are old people who followed Xu Shanyin to conquer the country. Xu Shanshan's growth is almost accompanied by their history of struggle, and his feelings for Xu Shanshan are better.
Now it is just acquiescence and not completely siding with Xu Shanshan. This is already a very good result.
"Where is your Pavilion Master of Lanxi Pavilion? Didn't he say anything?" After thinking about all this, Ye Xiu continued to ask.
"The master of the pavilion means that we should follow the rules of the pavilion!"
"What rules?"
"Fight to the death!"
"..." Ye Xiu was speechless for a moment, fighting life and death again.
Why do these organizations like to use this method to decide where their full power belongs?
But it’s normal to think about it. As one of the four elder families of Lanxi Pavilion, the Xu family has deep-rooted power. Now the Xu family’s old man suddenly died, the Xu family is leaderless, and the old people of the Xu family have ambiguous attitudes. Under such circumstances, standing as the head of the pavilion
From the standpoint of the family, they naturally do not want large-scale internal strife to occur in the Xu family.
If you want to decide who is at the helm of the Xu family in a short period of time, a life-and-death fight is the simplest, most effective, and least expensive way.
Those who work in the world respect the strong, and whoever wins the battle will be more able to convince the crowd.
"Actually, this is not an opportunity for you. If you can take this opportunity to defeat your elder brother head-on, I think your uncles will have more confidence in you!" After thinking through the key to the problem, Ye Xiu consoled him.
.
"But I don't have much confidence in this life-and-death battle. To be honest, my eldest brother has made many friends over the years. I'm really not sure what kind of master he will invite!"
"Don't worry, isn't it me? No matter how powerful the master is, he will die if he comes here!" Ye Xiu said with a slight smile.
"Master Ye, are you willing to help me fight?" Xu Shanyin on the other end of the phone was ecstatic.
"Haha, isn't that why you called me?" Ye Xiu chuckled.
"Hehe..." Xu Shanyin was not embarrassed after being told his thoughts. He just laughed a few times. Of course, he didn't think that he could hide this trick from Ye Xiu. The reason why he said this was to be a little more tactful and to give himself
Leave some room, so that if Ye Xiu is unwilling, the relationship between the two will not become really awkward.
"When does the life-and-death battle begin?" Ye Xiu asked.
"Three days later, right after my father's funeral, the Pavilion Master will be there in person!" Xu Shanyin said.
"Okay, I will come with you when the time comes!" Ye Xiu nodded.
"Thank you, Mr. Ye!"
"Yeah!" Ye Xiu hung up the phone and silently counted the days in his mind before turning around and walking back to the dining table.
Yan Qingqing had already finished breakfast in front of her, pretending that she didn't mean to eavesdrop on the phone.
"When will you go to Rongdu?"
"Today!" Yan Qingqing was stunned and didn't understand why Ye Xiu suddenly asked this.
"Oh, I plan to stay here for a few days, can you arrange for someone to help me prepare some ingredients?" Ye Xiu said bluntly.
"No problem!" Yan Qingqing was stunned at first, and then nodded immediately. Ye Xiu will stay here for a few days, and this is a great opportunity to get closer to him.
She knew that the other party's fiancée would not be here these days, otherwise she would not need to prepare ingredients for her.
She had already made up her mind to go to Rongdu today and rush back immediately after signing the contract.
After breakfast, Ye Xiu said goodbye to Yan Qingqing and returned directly to the island. He had to seize all the time to improve his cultivation as soon as possible.
While Ye Xiu was staying on the island to practice and improve his cultivation, Xu Shanshanshan left the compound after lighting a few sticks of incense for his father in the Xu family compound.
Nowadays, the people in the Xu family compound are his brother's confidants. Before a life and death fight, he does not want to have any conflict with his brother.
After making sure that no one was following him, Xu Shanshan drove the car in several circles, finally entering a high-end community and finally stopping at the door of an ordinary villa.
He did not get out of the car immediately, but sat quietly in the car. After a while, his cell phone text message rang. Xu Shanshan quickly opened it and saw that it was from an unfamiliar phone number. There was only one sentence on it.
Words: "No one is following, come in!"
Only then did Xu Shanshan open the car door and walked into the villa.
The villa was very luxuriously decorated. A woman wearing a low-cut suspender nightgown opened the door for him. Xu Shanshan didn't look at the woman's deep ravine, and walked directly into the house.
At a glance, he saw the middle-aged man sitting on the sofa.
"Pavilion Master..." Xu Shanshan bowed to the man very respectfully.
"You and I have been brothers for many years, why are you so polite? Sit down quickly!" The man was none other than Lan Xuetian, the master of Lanxi Pavilion. If Xu Shanyin saw this scene, I don't know how horrified he would be.
The majestic master of Lanxi Pavilion, a big shot who always bowed respectfully even when he saw Xu Minghe, actually called himself brother to his eldest brother?
