"Ye Tian, you are so arrogant." Xiao Jian looked at Ye Tian coldly, his eyes almost freezing.
Ye Tian withdrew his pressure and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "The children of the Xiao clan want to compete with the juniors. If the juniors don't show some strength, wouldn't they look down on the children of the Xiao clan?"
"Hmph!" Xiao Jian snorted coldly, looking at Ye Tian more and more displeased.
I don't know why, but the first time he saw Ye Tian in Lingjing Holy City, he was very cold towards this boy.
"Seventeenth Elder, please make the decision for us!" Xiao Ping and the others hurriedly asked Xiao Jian for help.
"Three trash, you have completely disgraced my Xiao clan, go away and get the Ten Thunder Whips!" Xiao Jian scolded angrily.
"ah?"
Xiao Ping and the other three people suddenly turned pale.
The thunder-fire whip is one of the most terrifying punishments of the Xiao clan. It is specially used to punish the disciples of the Xiao clan who have made mistakes. All the children of the Xiao clan talk about their sexual behavior.
Although they were afraid and apprehensive, they did not dare to disobey Xiao Jian's orders and could only leave sadly.
"Xiao Wending, the clan leader has issued an order to grant you the status of a third-class clan member. You can move to another place to live." Xiao Jian looked at Xiao Wending and said indifferently.
"What?"
Everyone in the Xiao family changed their minds.
Third-class tribesmen are not a good word at first glance.
Xiao Wending asked: "How many levels are the Xiao clan members divided into?"
Xiao Jian said: "The fifth class, from high to low, is direct lineage, first-class clansman, second-class clansman, third-class clansman and fourth-class clansman!"
"Third-class tribesmen, this is insulting us!"
"Master, let's go back. It doesn't matter if the Xiao clan doesn't return!"
"Yes, Patriarch, we will never be humiliated like this!"
Everyone in the Xiao family was angry.
I was already so angry in my heart, but now I feel so angry. Who can bear it?
In the outside world, they are superior to others, but here they can only be regarded as third-class tribesmen, which is simply asking for trouble.
Even if the Xiao clan is strong, they are not shy about it.
Ye Tian felt very sorry, but now he didn't know what to say. He could only tell everyone in the Xiao family as soon as possible not to suffer this kind of oppression again.
Xiao Wending looked at Xiao Jian with a gloomy expression and said: "You are going too far. It was you who took the initiative to invite us to return to the Xiao clan. Why are you now acting like we have come to seek refuge? We do not accept the status of third-class clan members!"
Xiao Jian said unceremoniously: "Giving you the status of a third-class clan member is for Xiao Xiao's sake. Otherwise, based on the mistakes your ancestors have committed, even if the current clan leader is magnanimous and does not pursue them, he will give you a fourth-class clan at most.
Don’t push yourself too far into your tribe’s identity!”
Xiao Wending was very angry.
Everyone in the Xiao family was even more excited.
"Master, let's go back!"
"The Xiao clan doesn't want to see us, so we're not surprised."
"Let's go back to Lingjing Holy City and continue to live our lives guarding our one-third of an acre. The Xiao Clan is beyond our reach."
Everyone in the Xiao family was very angry and had a high intention of leaving.
Xiao Wending had to weigh it carefully.
He brought the Xiao family back to the Xiao clan, firstly to help Ye Tian, and secondly because he wanted to reunite with his precious daughter.
But this kind of sacrifice is really too big.
He could be indifferent and just be a third-class clansman, but he could not let his father and fellow villagers suffer the injustice.
"presumptuous!"
Xiao Jian suddenly shouted angrily, making everyone in the Xiao family turn pale.
Xiao Jian glanced at everyone with cold eyes, especially those who were more emotional and received special care from him.
"Do you think the Xiao Clan is a place where you can come when you want and leave when you want?"
Xiao Jian shouted without any doubt.
"What do you mean? We don't want to return, so we can't leave yet?" Everyone was shocked.
"If you leave the Xiao Clan now, you will be punished for treason. Even if the clan leader is kind-hearted and lets you live, you will remain in the Xiao Clan as sinners."
"As for the status of criminals in the Xiao clan, they are no better than slaves. They will be sent to various mines to mine. You can consider the pros and cons by yourself."
Seeing that the faces of everyone in the Xiao family became flustered and frightened when they heard words such as "sinner" and "mining", Xiao Jian couldn't help but sneer.
How dare you make a mistake even if you are just a side branch?
Everyone in the Xiao family immediately looked at me and me, and no longer dared to express their opinions. Finally, they all looked at Xiao Wending and obeyed Xiao Wending's orders.
Xiao Wending took a deep breath, suppressed the overwhelming anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's... stay!"
Xiao Jian chuckled lightly and said with satisfaction: "This is a wise choice. Don't think that being a third-class clan member is a humiliating thing. There are many people in this world who want to be a third-class clan member of our Xiao clan, but they are not qualified.
Even if he is a slave of our Xiao clan, he is still a nobleman who is superior to any family power in the outside world."
Everyone couldn't help but feel contempt in their hearts, he really knew how to put gold in his own face.
"As for Ye Tian."
Xiao Jian suddenly looked at Ye Tian with a sneer.
"You are not a member of the Xiao clan, but you don't even have the chance to be a fourth-class clan member."
Xiao Wending asked: "Senior, what do you mean by this? Ye Tian is already a member of my Xiao family, so he should come with us."
Xiao Jian said sternly: "He is a member of your Xiao family, but not a member of our Xiao clan. If he wants to stay in the Xiao clan, he must pass the test of our Xiao clan."
Xiao Wending was furious and was simply bullying others too much.
Ye Tian stopped Xiao Wending and asked, "What test does it need to pass?"
Xiao Jian said: "There are two tests in total, one is asking, and the other is asking the heart. Only if you pass both tests can you stay."
"What is asking, what is asking the heart?" Ye Tian said in a deep voice.
"Asking is to test your potential, qualifications and strength. Asking is to test whether you are sincere about joining our Xiao clan or whether you have other purposes." Xiao Jian's eyes turned into sharp sword light in vain, trying to see through Ye Tian.
.
Ye Tian was as motionless as a mountain, while Xiao Wending was shocked.
As for asking questions, it is not a problem for Ye Tian, but asking questions is a big trouble.
Ye Tian came to the Xiao Clan for a different purpose. How could he pass the Xiao Clan's test?
The Xiao clan is a reclusive family. Only stupid people would doubt their methods and think they could get through with luck.
"Ye Tian, don't agree to him." Xiao Wending hurriedly sent a message to Ye Tian.
Once something went wrong during the heart-searching process, Ye Tian would be killed.
"Uncle, don't worry, I will be fine." Ye Tianchuan comforted Xiao Wending, then looked at Xiao Jian and said without hesitation: "Okay, I will accept the test. When will it start and where will it be?"
In the past, it would have been difficult for Ye Tian to pass the hurdle of "asking one's heart".
But now, after more than eighty years of mental training in Pilgrimage Town, his state of mind has already reached a level that others cannot imagine.
You can truly achieve peace of mind.
Whatever means the Xiao Clan has, just use them, he will take them one by one.
