Luck taken away? It doesn't matter, I quietly become a god

Xiao family, in front of the gate.

Xiao Zian got off the carriage and looked up at the plaque of the Xiao family, his eyes were calm.

As he walked towards the door, the guards on both sides bowed their hands and saluted.

"Little Lord."

"Little Lord."

Xiao Zian didn't stop, crossed the threshold directly and walked into the Xiao family mansion.

While passing by a corridor, Xiao Zian met an acquaintance who was not an acquaintance - Xiao Ziyan.

When Xiao Ziyan saw Xiao Zian, he took the initiative to say hello: "I've met my brother."

Xiao Zian paused and glanced at him sideways: "Xiao Ziyan? At this time, shouldn't you be at Guanxin Academy?"

"Excuse me, brother, I'm concerned. I just suddenly remembered that I left something very important at home, so I came back to take it away." Xiao Ziyan lowered his eyes and said.

"Oh."

Xiao Zian just asked casually, not caring about Xiao Ziyan.

The Xiao family is a traditional aristocratic family.

There is very little warmth in aristocratic families.

As the eldest son of this generation of the Xiao family, Xiao Zian was destined to be different from his younger brothers and sisters since his birth, and was also destined to be... difficult to get along well with.

What's more, this Xiao Ziyan is still the hidden concubine of Xiao Zian's good-for-nothing father, and his status is even lower than that of the concubine and concubine born to the aunt in the house.

After the incident, the Presbyterian Council did not want the Xiao family to be embarrassed outside, let alone the blood of the Xiao family to be lost outside, so they pinched the nose and took the person back and gave him the title of the seventh young master of the Xiao family.

If it weren't for the good-for-nothing father's trust and the Xiao family's reputation, Xiao Ziyan wouldn't have been able to enroll in Guanxin Academy.

However, Xiao Zian didn't think it mattered.

Anyway, he has no feelings for these so-called relatives of the Xiao family, and it is not as real as gaining real power.

As long as the Xiao family is controlled by him and he will inherit it in the future, these countless brothers and sisters... Xiao Zian is not a stingy person. He can still afford to raise a waste.

"That's it, I'll leave first if I have something else to do."

When Xiao Zian was about to leave, Xiao Ziyan suddenly sighed and said in a faint voice:

"Sometimes, I really envy my eldest brother. My eldest brother has been studying at Wenxin Academy for many years. He even became a disciple of Zhanmingshan School, where many young talents in Zhongzhou want to join. He is also the young master of the Xiao family and has a bright future. bright……"

The casualness in Xiao Zian's eyes faded a bit. He turned around and glanced at Xiao Ziyan, who still maintained a respectful attitude. He twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "I have heard this kind of flattery too many times. There are no outsiders here. I am too lazy to listen to your nonsense. I have something else to do..."

Xiao Ziyan raised his head, looked directly into Xiao Zian's eyes, and said with unclear meaning in his tone: "Brother's current cultivation level is only at the Nascent Soul stage, right? Is the alchemist level at the seventh level?"

"So what?" Xiao Zian closed the jade fan in his hand with a snap, his eyes a bit colder.

Xiao Ziyan didn't seem to be aware of it and continued: "If I remember correctly, my eldest brother has become a seventh-level alchemist decades ago. He entered the Tao with elixirs and was promoted to Nascent Soul."

"At that time, everyone in the Xiao family was proud of their eldest brother. They thought that his talent was a rare talent that the Xiao family had rarely seen in thousands of years. They even thought that given time, the eldest brother would definitely grow into a genius and evil figure like the first generation head of the Xiao family. .”

"But eldest brother...decades have passed, your cultivation has stagnated, and your alchemist level has not increased even half a point. Brother, I am really worried about eldest brother..."

He was saying worried words, but there seemed to be a trace of ridicule in his eyes: "There are some rumors within the Xiao family now, saying that the eldest brother has..."

The smile on Xiao Zian's face completely disappeared: "What do you think is wrong with me? I'm exhausted? My talent has been exhausted? So someone wants to replace me?"

Xiao Ziyan lowered his eyes slightly and said in a panicked voice: "Brother, this is not what the younger brother said..."

"Including you? Xiao Ziyan?"

"Brother is joking, how can the younger brother have such ability..."

"You really have no ability." Xiao Zian knocked on Xiao Ziyan's forehead with a jade fan. The force was neither light nor heavy, but it was extremely insulting.

"Although I don't think anyone else can replace me, if someone really wants to replace me, this person can be anyone from the Xiao family, but it will definitely not be...a lowly illegitimate child born from an outside wife."

Xiao Zian's confidence does not all come from his status as the eldest son. Even his talent in alchemy, which is highly anticipated and cannot be sought after, is only part of his confidence.

Over the years, when the Xiao family's contemporaries were still relying on their elders and begging for pocket money, Xiao Zian had already taken over various affairs of the Xiao family, whether openly or secretly... Decisions in every aspect are hard to make mistakes.

Xiao Zian also consciously gathered and cultivated his own power. In the Xiao family's most important presbytery alone, among the ten elders, there are now five elders who clearly support and favor Xiao Zian.

The contemporaries of Xiao Zian who were born in the Xiao family are destined to be unfortunate, because if nothing happens, no one will ever be able to catch up with Xiao Zian's footsteps, nor can they shake his status.

However, Xiao Zian's reputation and prestige among his peers in the Xiao family are pretty good. Xiao Zian never regards his brothers and sisters as opponents or threats. Sometimes, when he is in a good mood, he will help his brothers and sisters.

After all, in Xiao Zian's mind, he is the future head of the Xiao family. If there are a few people in his family who can take the lead in the future, they can be used by him, which will be beneficial to him.

"Seventh brother."

Xiao Zian suddenly had a smile on his face again, but the words he spoke were piercing to the bone: "A good dog doesn't block the way, give way."

Although he didn't know why Xiao Ziyan, who had always been such a coward, unexpectedly said such "provocative" words to him, Xiao Zian didn't take it to heart.

What can a loser who has not even been promoted to the Golden Elixir Stage become in decades?

This time, Xiao Ziyan said nothing more, lowered his head and got out of the way.

Xiao Zian clicked his tongue and left calmly.

"..."

After walking for a while, Xiao Zian came to one of the most important places in the Xiao family - the Presbyterian Church.

As soon as he entered the Presbyterian Church, Xiao Zian took back the jade fan in his hand.

In the Presbyterian Church, the most conspicuous ones are the ten chairs, which represent the ten most powerful elders.

only……

Xiao Zian looked around and found that none of the five elders were present.

Xiao Zian looked at the fierce-looking elder on the left and cupped his hands: "Third Elder, is there something urgent? The Council of Elders wants to call me back? Where are the Great Elder and the other five?"

What's a coincidence is that...the five elders who are absent are all Xiao Zian's confidants or more supportive of Xiao Zian?

Among the five elders still present, Xiao Zian only has some friendship with the sixth and seventh elders, but not too deep.

Not to mention the other three elders, the eighth elder and the ninth elder, they basically have no friendship. Sometimes when Xiao Zian wants to implement some policies, most of these three elders hold objections.

Xiao Zian's eyes darkened slightly.

If something goes wrong, there must be a monster...
