"Could it be that... you deliberately leaked the information about the Kunlun Mirror?"

Xiao Yi suddenly figured it out and looked incredulous.

"hehe."

Old Demon Chu smiled, but didn't say much.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi was really confused. What did it mean? It turned out that this old demon Chu... was fishing?

What is the purpose then?

"I have my own reasons for doing this. I..."

Just as Old Demon Chu was about to continue, his aura suddenly changed.

Xiao Yi was stunned. What the hell... What's going on? Are they going to attack him again for no reason?

However, he soon discovered that the aura of Old Demon Chu suddenly became a little disordered.

Looking at Old Demon Chu's face again, he was in pain, his complexion quickly turned pale, and his body was shaking slightly.

"Senior, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Yi realized something was wrong and hurried forward to support Old Demon Chu. What was going on? Was he trying to scam him?

Soon, he remembered that Taoist Boyuan had told him that Old Demon Chu had an old injury.

"Go...find your master!"

The aura of Old Demon Chu dropped to the lowest point in the blink of an eye. Without saying anything more, he hurriedly sat down cross-legged, trying his best to calm his mind...

At the same time, the Xiao family.

There were more than a dozen people sitting in a small room, including clan elders and several middle-aged men. They all had extremely high status in the Xiao family.

The current atmosphere is somewhat subtle, even depressing.

"My dear uncles and brothers, I have just finished speaking. I want to hear your opinions first."

Xiao Chengyan took the first seat, glanced around and spoke.

The old man sitting next to him was his second uncle, Xiao Yuhai, the younger brother of his father Xiao Yulong!

At this time, Xiao Yuhai remained calm and slowly picked up the teacup to drink.

Everyone had heard about what happened between Xiao Chengwen and Xiao Yi, and they also learned about the subsequent conversation between Xiao Chengyan and his mother Gong Aolan.

"I think……"

Finally, an elder of the tribe spoke.

"The key to the problem is not Xiao Yi, but what the old lady said makes sense. It concerns the Xiao family's reputation. If Cheng Yan does not do something and does not speak out, it is indeed unreasonable."

"I think so too. Brother Cheng Yan cannot remain indifferent, but he is not doing this for Xiao Chengwen, but for the Xiao family. Of course, this is also for the old patriarch to see."

A middle-aged man also echoed.

"Stupid! At this moment, you should do nothing and not express your opinion. Gong Aolan's words are just a delaying tactic!

She is afraid that we will confront them at this time. She wants to drag Cheng Yan into the water. She must also be trying to help Xiao Chengwen recover his strength!"

An elder of the clan raised an objection.

"Besides, what if the patriarch wants to protect Xiao Wantang's son? Cheng Yan's actions may seem to protect the family's reputation, but in the end, it will make the patriarch resentful!"

Hearing this, many people nodded in agreement, believing that not rushing to express one's opinion was the best outcome at the moment.

"Cheng Yan, I know you value feelings, but I need to remind you that you must not be emotional about this matter and you must not be too kind!"

An old man looked at Xiao Chengyan.

"Your mother will never support you in anything in the future. Even if she is willing, the old guys around her will not agree. Don't you understand?"

Xiao Chengyan was stunned. How could he not understand? But he was a little undecided. It seemed that whatever he did was right, but when he thought about it again, it was not right...

"My dear uncles, I think you are too kind. Xiao Yi is Xiao Wantang's son, so he is a member of the Xiao family. Why do you have to quarrel with him? Not killing him will not have much impact on the Xiao family's reputation.

If possible, we should use Xiao Yi to get Gong Aolan and the others..."

Another middle-aged man spoke up, he couldn't hold back any longer.

"cough……"

Xiao Yuhai, who was also sitting at the top, suddenly coughed, but continued to drink his tea. He didn't speak or look at anyone.

For a moment, the discussions among the crowd calmed down a little. It was indeed difficult to reach a consensus, but few people were willing to stand with Gong Aolan and the others on this matter.

"I still think Xiao Yi is indeed a bit unsophisticated. If he really comes to the Xiao family, we may be able to watch how he treats Xiao Chengwen, but what if he turns around and harms us?"

An old man who had been silent all this time, spoke up.

"What if... he wants to target the entire Xiao family for Xiao Wantang and what happened back then? Or, in other words, he wants to take back everything that belongs to them?"

After hearing his words, many people's expressions changed again.

"If that's the case, Xiao Yi is actually a threat to Cheng Yan."

Another person spoke up.

"Third uncle, you think too much. How could Xiao Yi be so capable? At most, he and Xiao Chengwen will both suffer losses. That won't be bad for us, right?"

A middle-aged man said.

"Second brother, do you know what the patriarch's attitude is towards Xiao Wantang?"

An elder of the clan asked Xiao Yuhai.

"Ugh……"

Xiao Yuhai put down the teacup and sighed. This was the crux of the problem.

"I don't know about other things, but if we really take this opportunity to do something to that place, my brother...will never tolerate it."

Xiao Yuhai finally spoke slowly.

Xiao Chengyan's eyes narrowed, and he had basically reached a conclusion in his mind.

"Second uncle is right..."

Xiao Chengyan said slowly.

"Let's just observe for a while. Whether to remain neutral or kill Xiao Yi depends on how the situation develops. But I have never hated them or their son for anything.

Besides, Second Uncle, you should know that that person... treated me very well back then."

Xiao Yuhai was startled, then nodded, a complex look flashed across his eyes, and some things from the past flooded into his mind again...

On the other side, Xiao Yi had already called Taoist Boyuan over, and the latter helped to stabilize the old demon Chu.

"Master, Senior Chu will be okay, right?"

In the living room, Xiao Yi asked Taoist Boyuan.

"This time...something does seem to be wrong. It's more serious than before."

Taoist Boyuan frowned and looked a little bad. His medical skills were not weaker than Xiao Yi's, but he was still struggling.

"Could it be related to what happened today? What did you two talk about before I got here?"

"Just now……"

Xiao Yi simply explained it and told Taoist Boyuan about the existence of Long Ling.

"I should have thought of it earlier."

Taoist Boyuan suddenly seemed to understand something.

"what?"

Xiao Yi was confused.

"The wounds on his body were indeed not caused by weapons, but by some kind of ferocious beast. It should be as powerful as your Dragon Spirit!"

Taoist Boyuan guessed.

"A vicious beast? But isn't the senior a beast tamer? How could he be injured by a vicious beast?"

Xiao Yi was even more confused.

"I didn't think about it that way. I thought he was already good at taming beasts, but now it seems..."

Taoist Boyuan shook his head slightly.

"This……"

Xiao Yi frowned, and somewhat agreed.

"woke up."

Taoist Boyuan sensed something, stood up and went back to the bedroom, and Xiao Yi followed him.

Looking at Old Demon Chu again, he was in much better condition than before, leaning against the head of the bed with a calm look on his face.

“Why is the situation today more serious than before?”

Taoist Boyuan asked Old Demon Chu.

"It has something to do with your apprentice's dragon spirit."

Old Demon Chu said directly.

"Dragon spirit?"

Xiao Yi's face changed. He and Taoist Boyuan had just guessed the same thing, but he didn't expect it to be true...
