Chapter 88 The Great Elder

"Qinglong Arm!" Xiao Wenchen and Xiao Wenbai suddenly stood up again and exclaimed.

"Haha!" After a long time, Xiao Wenchen laughed loudly, and the laughter continued for a long time, as if he wanted to vent the humiliation accumulated in his heart for many years.

"Uncle formally apologizes to you for what happened before! Uncle also put these words here today. As long as you don't marry outside, the Xiao family is clearly in charge of uncle, but secretly it is you who are in charge." The laughter stopped, As the elder of the Patriarch, Xiao Wenbai bowed to Xiao Qing today, and said with a serious expression.

Seeing this, Xiao Wenbai moved his lips, but he didn't speak in the end.

The Xiao family treats Xiao Qing like this, if the Xiao family does not show full sincerity at this time, forcing Xiao Qing to leave in disappointment, then the Xiao family will be lucky to kneel down and beg for life to outsiders in the future, if not, the whole family will be punished. off.

"Uncle, you are serious. After all, I am still young, and family affairs mainly need to be discussed and decided by you." Seeing this, the resentment in Xiao Qing's heart finally eased, and he bowed back.

"Although you are young, you have seen some things more clearly than your uncle and your father. Let's not talk about it, anyway, from today onwards, you are the great elder of the family." Xiao Wenchen said.

After finishing speaking, Xiao Wenchen turned to Xiao Wenbo and said, "Fourth brother, go and invite the second and third brothers, as well as the fourth uncle and Uncle Anzheng to my secret place for martial arts."

The Fourth Uncle and Uncle Anzheng that Xiao Wenchen spoke of were members of the same generation as his father, both of whom had cultivated strength and were the elders of the Xiao family.

On the main line, among the four brothers of the Xiao family, only Xiao Wenchen and the third brother, Xiao Wenyi, cultivated strength, while the second children, Xiao Wenlang and Xiao Wenbai, only cultivated energy.

The core senior management of the Xiao family are the four brothers Xiao Wenchen and the two elders. Of course, Xiao Qing, the leader of the third generation, must be counted now.

"Brother, do you want to make gestures with Xiao Qing?" Xiao Wenbai asked with his heart moving.

Now that Xiao Qing has become a powerful person, the elder of the family, and the father and daughter had a estrangement before, even though Xiao Wenbai is the father, the nickname for his daughter has been changed from Qing'er to Xiao without knowing it. Qing.

"If Xiao Qing doesn't show it off, how can Fourth Uncle and Uncle Anzheng sincerely submit to Xiao Qing? How can they really be of one mind with the Xiao family?" Xiao Wenchen said.

"That's true, I'll invite them right away." Xiao Wenbai nodded and left quickly.

"Xiao Qing, let's go to my secret place for practicing martial arts." Xiao Wenchen said.

"Okay!" Xiao Qing nodded, and followed Xiao Wenchen to the Patriarch's secret place for martial arts.

It was a martial arts training ground built underground, one end leading to the main house of the Patriarch, and the other end leading to a mountain forest in the West Outer City.

That mountain forest is a very common property of the Xiao family.

After a stick of incense time.

In the underground martial arts secret place, two cyan dragon-claw phantoms clashed in mid-air one after another. The shock waves generated by the forceful strikes made the four walls of the martial arts secret place that had been strengthened by special techniques vibrate slightly.

"Boom!" Separated his claws, Xiao Wenchen jumped into the air and landed in the air. He just used this to relieve Xiao Qing's sudden burst of strength. .

"Water and wood dense net!" Seeing this, Xiao Wenchen's expression changed drastically, and he blurted out in surprise, and quickly stretched out his hand to slap it out, but the phantom net with rippling luster was as soft as water and as tough as vines.

Xiao Wenchen slapped it out with one palm, and the net just retreated like a wave of water, and then when Xiao Wenchen's palm strength was exhausted, it suddenly closed from all directions.

Gusts of strong wind suddenly swirled from Xiao Wenchen's body, driving the surrounding air to flow rapidly, like a green dragon coiling around his body.

This is Xiao Wenchen's body shield.

But the net is very resilient, and it keeps deforming and closing, making the space around Xiao Wenchen smaller and smaller, and the body shield is getting more and more compressed, and finally even issued a "click", like a bone about to be crushed. sound.

Xiao Wenchen's face flushed red.

At this moment, the ever-shrinking green virtual net was suddenly retracted.

Xiao Wenchen gasped for breath, but all the elders of the Xiao family held their breath. Looking at Xiao Qing who was standing leisurely, he felt a chill rising from his back.

Xiao Qing's strength is not only stronger and purer than Patriarch Xiao Wenchen's, but she is much more proficient in the use and changes of Qinglong Xuanmu Jin than Xiao Wenchen, the Patriarch who has been immersed in Qinglong Xuanmu Jin for many years. More spirituality.

"Water and wood dense net" is a power-changing move that is difficult to master in the Xiao family's "Qinglong Xuanmu Kungfu". Back then, only Grandpa Xiao Qing, who was in the bone refining realm, could perform it in the family. Xiao Qing, who is in the state of strength, has also been able to display it.

……

"From today onwards, don't interfere with Xiao Qing's business, and don't provoke her." Xiao Wenchen said to his daughter Xiao Liu in the hall of the Xiao family.

"Why? She's just a martial artist, and she's going to be sent out soon, why can't I take over her business, why can't I provoke her?" Xiao Liu's eyes widened with disbelief looking at her father.

"Based on the sacrifices and contributions she has made to the family, you shouldn't treat her like this. Also, the Xiao family is a wealthy and prominent family in Fangli City. There is no need to lower your status in order to form an alliance with the outside world or please the strong!" Xiao Wenchen replied. road.

"That is to say, she will continue to stay in Xiao's house!"

"That's right!"

"Even so, she is a martial apprentice, and she is not worthy to control so many properties! I am the eldest daughter of the Xiao family and a Jinli martial artist, shouldn't these things be left to me?" Xiao Liu said unwillingly.

She is now a Ningjin martial artist, and the Xiao family will give her a certain amount of cultivation resources according to her cultivation level, but if she wants more and better cultivation resources, she can only earn them by herself.

The industry under Xiao Qing's name has developed very well in recent years, making money every day, Xiao Liu is naturally jealous, and wants to take the opportunity to take it under his name.

"If you want, you can manage and develop by yourself, and the family will give a certain amount of support. As for Xiao Qing, it is the result of her own efforts, so don't try to take advantage of her. If you do anything in private, I will deal with it according to the family law!" After speaking, Xiao Wenchen's face suddenly sank, and his body exuded a cold and powerful aura.

Xiao Liu looked at his father and took two steps back, before he was full of grievances but lowered his head helplessly and said: "Yes, father!"

……

After leaving the Suju in the mountains, Qin Ziling was not in a hurry to leave the city to go home, but went to Liu Xiaoqiang's house to remove his make-up, and then went to the "Hua Yun" rouge shop in Xichengfang City with his original appearance.

During this period of time, he has been either practicing in seclusion or hunting in the outskirts of Wuyang Mountain. He has not been to the city for more than half a month, and he has not been to the "Flower Rhyme" rouge shop for more than a month.

It's almost the end of the new year now, and it stands to reason that I should go to the store to ask.

After all, the family's five taels of silver every month are sent to Hantie Zhangyuan on time.

Went to the "Hua Yun" gouache shop, Qin Ziling felt relieved when he learned that everything was calm recently, exchanged a few pleasantries with Yun Lan, then declined her offer to stay, left the shop and headed all the way to Hantie Zhangyuan go.

Years ago, he had to pay a visit to Master Zuo, meet and say hello to his fellow apprentices, and of course, he also had to ask about the studies of the apprentice Bao Yingjun.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Hey!"

Qin Ziling stepped into the Hantie Zhangyuan, looked at the fiery scene of the martial arts training ground, recalled the scene of his hard training here before, and recalled the experience of these days, suddenly felt as if he had passed away.

"Qin, Qin, senior brother, you, you are here!" Just as Qin Ziling was secretly feeling emotional, Bao Yingjun limped and walked up to him.

His face, which was already shabby, was bruised and swollen by someone who beat him, and his mouse eyes were almost squeezed out.

Qin Ziling glanced at Bao Yingjun's legs, feet and face, his calm expression changed slightly, and a chill emanated from his body.

Looking up towards the martial arts training ground, Wu Cheng and a few of Nangongyue's followers stopped and looked at him, with unabashed disdain and sarcasm on their faces.

"What are you doing? You don't need to practice martial arts anymore?" At this moment, Zheng Xinghan strode up, and when he passed by Wu Cheng and the others, he scolded with a dark face, and Wu Cheng and the others turned their heads unhurriedly and continued. practice martial arts.

"You kid, you're getting worse and worse. You haven't come for half a month. If you don't come again, I'll think something happened to you!" Zheng Xinghan stepped forward and punched Qin Ziling in the chest, and said.

"Hey!" Qin Ziling smiled, feeling warm in his heart.

"Aren't you going to replenish the stock again this time?" Zheng Xinghan asked angrily upon seeing this.

"I don't need it for the time being. I'm here mainly because the New Year is approaching. I'm here to say hello to Master Zuo and the brothers and sisters. Of course, I have to ask about Bao Yingjun's homework." Qin Ziling replied, when he mentioned Bao Yingjun , the smile on his face faded again.

"Why don't you leave Yingjun Bao to me for guidance in the future." Zheng Xinghan glanced at Yingjun Bao, hesitated, and said.

"Let Bao Yingjun decide for himself. If he thinks it's more suitable for you, then he will be with you." Qin Ziling said lightly.
