"You commit suicide!" Xiao Yuanshan's face suddenly turned cold and he spat out coldly.
"Thank you, Master...ah!?"
At first, Jingtian, Cui Sheng and the others didn't react. When they did, everyone was stunned, especially Jingtian, whose eyes almost jumped out of their sockets in shock, and his complexion turned green.
Xiao Gutao and Xiao Linhu looked at each other, both of them were surprised, and they became more and more confused about Xiao Yuanshan's thoughts. Since he had tried so hard to protect Jingtian before, even driving Xiao Lang, who was supposed to shine, to the ancestral mausoleum, why should Jingtian be executed now? Could it be that Ida was just an excuse used by Xiao Yuanshan to punish Xiao Lang
Xiao Gutao's expression immediately darkened. If this was the case, then he would do anything to seek justice from Xiao Yuanshan for Xiao Lang!
"Master, you... what did you say?" Nao Ida suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, so he bravely asked Xiao Yuanshan.
"I let you beasts commit suicide because you have made a certain contribution to our Xiao family. Otherwise, I will chop off your heads and leave you with your heads in different places and your body intact!"
This time, Jing Tian, Cui Sheng and others finally heard clearly, but at the same time Hun'er was almost scared away. After a moment of silence, the sound of begging for mercy immediately resounded throughout the world.
"Master, we know we were wrong, please have mercy on me, please have mercy on me!"
Only then did Ida realize that he was thinking too naively about the matter. He hurriedly kowtowed at Xiao Yuanshan. After a few blows, his forehead was already bloody, but Ida seemed to feel no pain. Yes, still knocking non-stop.
"It seems that you don't want the whole corpse anymore. Come here, take them out and chop them up!"
Xiao Yuanshan was impatient, opened his mouth and let out a loud shout.
Lotte, who was on the side, had been feeling uncomfortable for a long time. When he heard Xiao Yuanshan's loud shouts, he immediately waved his hands and rushed up, dragging Jing Tian, Cui Sheng and others out like dead dogs without any explanation. .
"Gu Tao, do you think I'm too cruel to Xiao Lang?" After killing Jingtian and others, Xiao Yuanshan turned to look at Xiao Gutao, who looked extremely gloomy, and asked with a chuckle.
Xiao Gutao remained silent and acquiesced to Xiao Yuanshan's words.
"Lin Hu, what do you think?" Xiao Yuanshan was not angry at Xiao Gutao's attitude, and turned to look at Xiao Linhu again.
Before Xiao Linhu could speak, Xiao Tengyun rushed to speak, "Grandpa, you are indeed a little... a little too much when you treat Xiao Lang like this for a beast-like Jingtian."
After hearing Xiao Tengyun's words, Xiao Yuanshan had a smile and a bit of surprise on his face, and asked, "Don't you remember that you hate Xiao Lang the most? Why are you speaking for him now?"
"I... I just feel like this, and... there's no reason why." Xiao Tengyun scratched his head and said.
"No, it was Xiao Lang who moved you, right?"
Xiao Tengyun subconsciously wanted to deny it, but when he saw the Qianye Sword in his hand and thought of the life-and-death battle between Xiao Lang and Li Baiyi, he couldn't say the words anymore and nodded heavily.
Xiao Yuanshan sighed softly, looked up at the sky, the gloom and sternness on his face disappeared in an instant, replaced by deep relief and expectation, and said slowly, "I really want to know, this child Xiao Lang What kind of five years have he experienced in Shengtian Continent, how can he be so good? Hahaha... It's a blessing in disguise, this is not only the luck of Xiao Lang, but also the luck of my Xiao family!"
As soon as Xiao Yuanshan said these words, Xiao Gutao's heart suddenly started to churn, and he was both excited and confused at the same time.
"Dad, since you think Xiao Lang is so outstanding, why did you expel him to the ancestral mausoleum?" Xiao Linhu was no less confused than Xiao Gutao and couldn't help but ask.
Xiao Yuanshan's expression turned solemn, and he asked without answering, "Do you still remember the prophecy left by the twenty-third generation ancestor of our Xiao family?"
"Is it the prophecy about the Immortal Court?" Xiao Linhu and Xiao Gutao looked at each other in surprise and asked in unison.
Especially Xiao Gutao, he was so excited that it was hard to control himself, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching.
"That's right! The twenty-third generation ancestor predicted at that time that in five hundred years, descendants of my Xiao family will be able to advance into the Immortal Court and achieve great achievements! After calculation, isn't it exactly five hundred years now?"
"Ah!? What do you mean by dad, that prophecy is likely to come true in Xiao Lang?" Xiao Gutao became more and more excited, so much so that even his voice trembled slightly,
"I'm not sure, but you have all seen this child's performance, Gu Tao, Lin Hu, is this child better than you when you were young?"
Xiao Gutao and Xiao Linhu looked at each other, unable to deny Xiao Yuanshan's words.
Xiao Yuanshan chuckled and said, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Not only is this child better than you, even I was far inferior to him back then. And what I'm talking about is only this child's talent. Speaking of this child's character, That's even more unreasonable. When I first sent him to the ancestral mausoleum, the child was dissatisfied and argued with me. But later, he suddenly changed his mind. Gu Tao, Xiao Lang is your son. , tell me why?”
Xiao Gutao pondered for a moment and said quietly, "Maybe it's because his mother and I also decided to leave the Xiao family."
"That's right at all! Although this child is young, he has the overall situation in mind, and he also values love and justice. He doesn't want to see our Xiao family fall apart and his relatives turn against each other. When I thought about this, I was moved I almost shed tears. Gu Tao, you know, when I heard that you and Roufeng were leaving the Xiao family, I was really panicked. If Xiao Lang hadn't suddenly changed his mind, I would have almost stopped. Know what to do.”
Xiao Gutao gradually understood the profound meaning of Xiao Yuanshan, his face showed a bit of embarrassment, and he said with a wry smile: "This is all the child's fault..."
"No, I can't blame you! As a father, you should be like this. Okay, let's not talk about this. Let's talk about this group of young people brought back by Xiao Lang this time. What do you think?"
"Everyone is a talent that can be made! To be honest, these young people are better than most of the second-tier disciples in our family. In fact, I think even Teng Yun may be slightly inferior compared to them."
As soon as Xiao Linhu said this, Xiao Yuanshan laughed, pointed at him and said, "In the past, you only had your own son in your eyes. It seemed that all the young talents in the world combined were not as good as Teng Yun. It's rare that you can say such a thing." A pertinent word."
When Xiao Yuanshan said this, Xiao Linhu himself was also surprised. In the past, he would have refused to admit that his son was inferior to others, but now, he couldn't help but blurt it out.
Only then did Xiao Linhu realize that although Xiao Lang had only been back for a short time, he had already had a significant impact on him invisibly.
After Xiao Yuanshan composed himself, he suddenly raised his voice very confidently and said, "I can assert that within ten years, these young people will burst out with incredible energy, and the entire Taoist sect will be shaken by them. This kid Xiao Lang, can Gathering such a group of young people around him reflects his excellence from another aspect. Gu Tao, Lin Hu, I said this, Xiao Lang is the emergence of our Xiao family in the past five hundred years. The best disciple, do you agree?"
Xiao Yuanshan's evaluation of Xiao Lang was so high that it even made Xiao Gutao feel a little dazed. Xiao Linhu nodded, letting go of many things in his heart, and he felt much calmer.
"But dad, does Immortal Court really exist?" Xiao Linhu frowned and asked.
Xiao Yuanshan chuckled lightly and said, "Of course it exists! Otherwise, where would our ancestors of all generations have ascended to? It's just that the world is too far away from us and cannot be touched by us. It is useless to study it carefully. !”
"Dad, I don't understand, since you value Xiao Lang so much, why do you still expel him to the ancestral mausoleum?" Xiao Gutao came back to his senses and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Zhu? Haha... The ancestral mausoleum is the resting place of generations of ancestors of our Xiao family. What a sacred existence it is. As a Xiao family disciple, guarding the ancestral mausoleum should not be regarded as a great honor. ?”
Xiao Gutao curled his lips, Xiao Yuanshan's words were a matter of truth, irrefutable but no one paid attention to them!
Xiao Yuanshan immediately saw through Xiao Gutao's thoughts, nodded helplessly at him with his fingers, and then said seriously, "I asked Xiao Lang to go to the ancestral mausoleum for two reasons. One is because of the opportunity to lead to the Immortal Courtyard. The ancestral mausoleum was left behind by the twenty-third generation ancestor before his ascension. The second one is a talented person like Xiao Lang who only appears once in five hundred years. He must not be allowed to grow in a greenhouse. Only by letting him fight against the wind and rain can his wings grow stronger and fly higher and further. Staying in the Xiao family is simply killing him!"
As soon as Xiao Yuanshan said this, Xiao Gutao only thought about it briefly and agreed.
Five years ago, when Xiao Lang was not sent to Shengtian Continent, his performance was actually not very outstanding, and seemed to be even worse than Xiao Tengyun. Although Xiao Linhu really used a lot of tricks to become Xiao Tengyun's first-line disciple, no one can deny that Xiao Tengyun himself does have considerable strength.
However, Xiao Lang only practiced alone in Shengtian Continent for five years, and he seemed to have become a completely different person and shined. This is the fact and the most convincing!
"Dad, I have misunderstood your good intentions, and I am still very dissatisfied with you. I really shouldn't." After hearing Xiao Yuanshan's words, Xiao Gutao immediately bowed deeply to Xiao Yuanshan, his words full of guilt. said.
Xiao Yuanshan waved his hand and said with a smile, "As long as our Xiao family can be revived, what does it matter if I suffer a little injustice? With more people going to the Immortal Courtyard, the status of our Xiao family will also increase, which will impact the confidence of the first-class family. That’s more than enough. As for the rest, it doesn’t matter.” (To be continued)
