"Xun'er, is something big going on?" Xiao Yan, who had recovered from his injuries, finally walked out of the room intact again.
In this situation, Xiao Yan couldn't help but shout: "I, Xiao Hansan, am back again!"
Seeing the Xiao family members rushing around and the lively atmosphere, my inner curiosity suddenly burst out.
Xiao Yan has been lying in bed recovering from his injuries for the past month, unaware of the changes in the outside world.
"Ah, it's brother Xiao Yan." Seeing Xiao Yan's lively appearance, Xun'er seemed a little excited and ran towards him with brisk steps.
However, when Xiao Yan saw Xun'er's actions, he subconsciously took a step back, causing Xun'er's mouth to shrink and he was about to cry.
"Xun'er, I'm sorry, Brother Xiao Yan's injury is not healed yet!" Xiao Yan hurriedly comforted him. When he saw the pitiful Xun'er, his first reaction was not pity, but fear.
Damn it, if my mother finds out that Xun'er is crying, I'll be doomed again! Thinking of this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but shudder, and the wounds on his body were still aching.
"Really?"
"That's true!" Hearing Xiao Yan's sophistry, Xun'er burst into tears and smiled. With a small hand, the tears disappeared instantly, making Xiao Yan say that he couldn't understand.
Later, Xun'er began to explain the reason, "I heard from my uncle that the Xiao family's clan meeting is about to begin. The scale of this clan meeting is quite grand, and many elders of the Xiao family who are away from home will come back!"
Oh, why didn’t I know there was such a grand scene? Xiao Yan felt suspicious in his heart.
Xiao Yan was very aware that many of the elders of the Xiao family were away from home all year round. After all, the empty scene at the Xiao family residence was definitely something that could not be concealed from anyone.
However, it is just a clan meeting. Xun'er may not know it when he first arrived, but he knows it well.
The Xiao family's clan meeting is held every year, and it is almost the same as the coming-of-age ceremony, but in the past it has not been such an event.
"Then let's go take a look?" Xiao Yan suggested.
"Well, Xun'er listens to brother Xiao Yan." He still nodded cutely. When Xiao Yan saw it, he almost couldn't help but stretched out his dog paw to rub Xun'er's little head again.
"Pah!" Xiao Yan couldn't help but patted down his dirty hand.
"Huh?" Xun'er's big eyes blinked, full of doubts. That cute look once again struck Xiao Yan's heart.
…
Langya Pavilion, Zhongzhou.
At this time, the Langya Pavilion disciples responsible for guarding the secret realm had been transferred and replaced by another group of people.
Many members of the Xiao family exude different auras, ranging from gentle and elegant to cold and murderous to bloody and violent.
Noticing some figures that would never come again, Xiao Han was silent for a while.
"Is everyone here?" Hearing this, some people subconsciously looked around for familiar figures, and some even touched the Na ring in their hands in a depressed mood.
"We're all here!" However, the final answer was still so neat.
"Then... let's set off!" Xiao Han nodded as if nothing had happened.
"Huang'er, I'll go first." Xiao Han said gently to Yi Huang.
"Yeah." Yihuang also felt the low mood of the Xiao family at this time, and her tone was much lower. After all, some people will never come back.
…
In the back mountain of the Xiao family, Xiao Zhan and several elders are waiting here anxiously.
"Great Elder, please take a look at my appearance. Is it messy or not?" Xiao Zhan looked around nervously at this time, and pulled the Great Elder to ask hurriedly.
"Hey, my dear patriarch." The first elder was already a little impatient with Xiao Zhan's nervousness. He asked this eight times every day and an hour. Isn't it enough?
"Your appearance is already pretty good, and you haven't disgraced anyone from our Xiao family. Isn't that enough?"
"That's good." Xiao Zhan breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not that Xiao Zhan's psychological quality is not good, but that today is the day when those Xiao family members who left ten years ago return again.
Those people were originally the most talented people in the Xiao family. Even if they stayed in the Xiao family and practiced step by step, there would be no problems.
However, for the future of the Xiao family, they all decisively left the shoal of the Northwest Continent and rushed to the deep sea of Zhongzhou, paying a huge price.
In this way, as the patriarch, how could he not put his best foot forward to welcome this group of respectable Xiao family members?
Finally, under the keen perception of Xiao Zhanzhan's strength, there was a wave of fluctuations in the void, and before he could show joy, a team of more than seventy people appeared in front of him.
More than seventy people?!
Seeing the man in white at the front, Xiao Zhan walked forward quickly and asked expectantly: "Uncle, are the others delayed by something?"
Xiao Zhan was thinking in his heart at this time, it must not be what he thought, it must have been delayed. But the anxiety on his face could not be concealed.
Xiao Han did not speak, but turned to gesture to the team. Immediately, dozens of Xiao family members came forward, took out an ordinary black wooden box from the ring, held it with both hands, and stood solemnly.
At this time, Xiao Zhan could no longer deceive himself and others, and several elders of the Xiao family who followed him also looked sad.
"How many clan members have we lost?" Xiao Zhan asked with some embarrassment.
It has only been ten years now, and so many people have disappeared visibly. So how much time will there be in the future? What should we do then?
Moreover, these clan members sacrificed their lives for the Xiao family. How could this make him, the clan leader who was behind them, embarrassed?
This time, Xiao Han answered directly, with a calm tone, "Nineteen people, Xiao Ying, Xiao Yun, Xiao Mi, Xiao Jie..."
In this way, Xiao Han reported all the Xiao family members who died in the battle one by one. As the names appeared one by one, Xiao Han's voice became deeper and deeper.
Among these people, there are both fighting emperors and fighting kings; some are lonely, and most of them have parents who are still alive and have children; casual cultivators wandering around in Zhongzhou, and guards of the southern city guard.
No matter where they are, what their strength is, or what their identity is, they all have a common name - members of the Xiao clan.
"Uncle, I understand that the Xiao family will never forget the sacrifices of heroes." The voice of giving up flashed through his mind, and then was thrown out of the sky. Now that things have happened, how can he give up easily? Xiao Zhan's tone was decisive
said.
"The affairs of these soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the Xiao family must be properly handled. As for the news, it is better to hide it for a while." Xiao Zhan made up his mind.
"Then let's go to the clan meeting?" Xiao Zhan asked for everyone's opinions. Everyone in the Xiao family was naturally homesick. Now it's time to see how the Xiao family is developing.
Xiao Han refused, "It's not suitable for me to show up now, so I won't go."
Others have no objection to this. Although Xiao Han has brought huge changes to the Xiao family, many adult clan members know that the Xiao family has a strong ancestor.
However, most of them only heard of his name but never saw his person. The minors under the age of sixteen did not even know the ancestor.
"Okay, let you take a look at the changes in my Xiao family over the years, as well as the outstanding descendants of my Xiao family." Xiao Zhan said boldly. He is indeed quite confident about the development of the Xiao family in these years, at least the descendants.
Some people are sure.
It's just a good idea to use the family meeting to show it off and reassure everyone.
