The Villain's Heart Black Moonlight

The girl herself did not seem very willing, and she looked at Chi Chu and the other man with hostility that she thought was well hidden.

She was only at the early stage of the Golden Core Realm, and was not even considered a genius in the sect, so Xie Yingchen naturally ignored her.

Afterwards, the girl seemed to have noticed the two men's indifference to her, and there was a hint of reluctance on her face, but in the end she dared not say anything. She led the two men to the main seat in the main hall, speaking in a businesslike tone.

"Elder Chen, this is your seat. Miss Chi Chu, yours is over here."

After the two of them sat down, the girl stepped aside.

Chi Chu took a look at where the other person was sitting. He was from a not very prestigious branch of the Xie family.

Seeing her attitude, her parents glared at the girl with some displeasure, then pulled her over and said something.

Chi Chu blinked, separated the thread and eavesdropped.

"I asked you to please Elder Chen, why are you so stubborn? Did you remember everything the Patriarch told you to do?"

The middle-aged man scolded in a low voice.

"I remember it, I remember it... Those words are just facts, there's no way I can't remember them."

"That's right." The woman smiled. She took the girl's hand and said, "Ning'er is the most obedient. The head of the family asked us to take sides, but we can't offend Elder Chen either. We have to please both sides."

The girl nodded perfunctorily.

The middle-aged couple seemed to want to say something else when the sound of musical instruments suddenly rang out behind them.

——Xie Zongchen and others entered the venue.

The Xie family members were so grand and ostentatious that many sect elders could not help but be amazed.

The sect competition they had a few days ago seemed to be no more than this.

In this kind of occasion, people usually don't reveal their true intentions right from the start. Chi Chu hurriedly took advantage of the time to eat more because she felt that she would not be able to eat much in the second half of the banquet.

Sure enough, just after half the time had passed, Xie Zongchen looked at the other elders and started to attack them with a forced smile.

"Elder Ying Chen, you've been back for so many days, and there's something we forgot to ask you. That's the situation of the Chaos Forest formation. If I remember correctly, it seems that people can't leave there, right?"

That was mildly enough.

Because the older generation present knew that not only could no one leave there, but the only person there was the core of the formation!

The sect members also looked over, obviously curious about the answer to this question.

"Well, I've left."

Xie Yingchen spoke expressionlessly.

He felt that these people were asking nonsense questions. What was going on in the Chaos Forest... Wasn't that obvious?

"That means... you will be out in the world for a long time?"

When Xie Zongchen asked this question, he looked meaningfully at the people from the sect around him.

At this point, they have roughly guessed Xie Yingchen's strength, and if nothing unexpected happens, he is in the Mahayana stage.

They are not afraid of a Mahayana cultivator who is imprisoned, but he does not believe that these sect cultivators will really not care about a Mahayana cultivator who is free and able to move around outside.

As expected, some people's eyes became dim.

"Yes, Elder Xie, if you are able to move around outside, we in the sects will have to arrange a place for you to live. After all, you are not just a member of the Xie family, but also the patron saint of our entire cultivation world!"

Someone spoke up in agreement.

It was an open praise but a hidden criticism. On the surface it was to provide Xie Yingchen with a place to stay, but in reality it was to restrict his actions.

"And..." Noticing the reactions of the people below, Xie Zongchen's smile widened a little, "In fact, there is something I have wanted to say since you came back, Yingchen. I have been sitting on the position of the head of this family for hundreds of years. This position should be occupied by the capable. In the past, I took advantage of my age to become the head of the family. Now that you are back... I should give up the position of the head of this family to you."
