Looking into Fenghuang's eyes, Chen Xiao hesitated in his heart. Although he recognized Fenghuang as the girl who "squashed" with him that day, he still couldn't remember who she was. He just instinctively felt that the girl in his arms should be Only those who are very close to oneself are suitable. But he only recognized his clan in the Xiao family, and Mr. Xiao treated him very well, and he was still an elder... He hesitated for a moment, but his instinct finally took over. He sighed and whispered to Fenghuang: "You are well. Don't be ridiculous, I just won't let others hurt you."
After hearing this, Fenghuang seemed to be very happy. He shouted "Aha" and hooked his hands around Chen Xiao's neck.
Xiao Qing was sitting far away, and when she saw this scene, she couldn't help but turn pale.
Chen Xiao gently reached out and took off Phoenix's arm around his neck, and then glanced at Mrs. Xiao: "Old Mrs., look at this..."
"Trespassing into my Xiao family ancestral hall will naturally lead to punishment. How can it be so easy..." A clan elder rushed to speak, and the old man Xiao next to him softly "hummed". The clan elder immediately closed his mouth and looked hesitantly. He glanced at the pillar of the Xiao family.
"You said that you are from the Xiao family, and that is not true. As for your appearance, it is not enough to explain your identity. Unless you give me a reason to convince me." Mrs. Xiao paused and said in a deep voice: "But even if you are really a member of the Xiao family, it is also disrespectful to break into the ancestral hall without permission, make a big fuss about the clan meeting, and rashly register names to worship ancestors!"
"This is difficult." Fenghuang smiled weakly. She was a little dizzy and managed to cheer up: "Old man, I don't have an ID card or a birth certificate. As for blood relations, it's hard to do a test. It takes time.”
"Then take it down first!" a clan elder said angrily.
Everyone saw that Fenghuang's face seemed to be different, and she seemed to be a little weaker compared to the way she showed her power just now. They all guessed that there was probably some hidden danger in her body. She just let this girl fight in the Xiao family ancestral hall, and she was beaten several times. If word spread about the ten masters of the Xiao family, wouldn't it bring disgrace to the dignified Lingnan Xiao family? We have to catch her no matter what!
The two grumpy clan elders rushed forward without waiting for Mr. Xiao to speak. The two old men were as fast and fierce as any young man. One had his fingers spread out like eagle claws, and the other leaped up with both hands. He swung his fists left and right, a move that sent two winds piercing his ears.
Phoenix said "Ah", stuck out his tongue, and hid behind Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao sighed, stepped forward, hugged Phoenix with his backhand, stretched out his right arm, and first hit the old man with the eagle claws. He blocked it with his palm, then turned his body sideways, and another clan elder's fist hit Chen Xiao firmly on the shoulder.
With two bangs, the fist hit Chen Xiao's body like a drum! The kung fu of the two clan elders is not comparable to that of the ordinary Xiao family. With these two punches, the power can definitely break open monuments and crack rocks! But when it hit Chen Xiao, it was like being defeated. After two muffled sounds, he saw Chen Xiao's pure cotton shirt cracking and pieces flying. Chen Xiao just took a breath, and then smiled: " The two clan elders don’t have to..."
"Boy, turn your elbows outward, are you still from the Xiao family?" A clan leader was furious and kicked Chen Xiao in the knee. Chen Xiaoyi did not move and allowed the other party to kick him. My own knees!
This clan elder's kicking skills were excellent. He swept his leg out with enough force to break a wooden stake. However, Chen Xiao did not move at all when he kicked Chen Xiao's leg. The clan elder exclaimed. With a sound, Tengteng took a few steps back, but the foot that kicked Chen Xiao was raised high. It was so painful that cold sweat broke out on his face, but he jumped a few times on one foot.
"... There is no need to be angry." Chen Xiao continued calmly: "Since she said she is from the Xiao family, she must clarify the matter."
"You bastard! I just let you return to the clan, and now you dare to attack the clan elder! Where are the Xiao family's rules!" The other clan elders were furious.
Chen Xiao sighed inwardly, becoming a little impatient. He, the "Xiao family", was really careless. Mainly because after reading the genealogy, I believed that my mother was indeed from the Xiao family, and that I returned to the clan just because of what happened to my mother back then. On the other hand, it was also because Mr. Xiao was very kind to me.
For himself, he really didn't have much sense of belonging to the Xiao family. At this moment, I can't help but feel dissatisfied when I see these elders of the Xiao family relying on their elders and acting unreasonably. I thought: No wonder my mother left the Xiao family that year. Such a decadent and old-fashioned old family is really boring.
"Hey, speak truthfully! It was clearly you who hit Chen Xiao! He didn't even fight back and let you hit him. You hurt yourself, but you blame others!"
Phoenix poked his head out from behind Chen Xiao and called out.
Old Mrs. Xiao just frowned and looked really hesitant. Whether this girl named Fenghuang who suddenly came over was a member of the Xiao family, Mr. Xiao was already convinced based on the fact that she looked exactly the same as Xiao Qing. After all, only he knows the origin of Xiao Qing best.
However, as the patriarch of the Xiao family, he really couldn't turn a blind eye to something like openly causing trouble in the ancestral hall. While hesitating, he suddenly saw Xiao Qing sitting there. Xiao Qing's expression changed. Pale, his eyes were full of tears, but he turned around, almost crying.
Seeing Chen Xiao protecting this girl named Fenghuang, Xiao Qing felt more and more miserable in her heart. She couldn't help but think: Well, he is still protecting her after all! This... This is nothing. She was originally his girlfriend, and he should protect her... as he should...
Although I comforted myself that this was "should", my heart could not calm down no matter what. In order to protect Phoenix, Chen Xiao, who had just returned to the Xiao family, dared to attack the clan elders in the ancestral hall... I...
If it were me, would he do the same to me
Several clan elders angrily scolded Chen Xiao and moved forward one after another. Chen Xiao had no choice but to hug Phoenix with one hand and retreat. However, he refused to fight back against the punches and kicks of these old men. He just resisted back and forth, and in a moment he was beaten again. He received three punches and five kicks, but he didn't feel any discomfort at all. Phoenix saw Chen Xiao being beaten. Although he knew that Chen Xiao was fine, he couldn't help but feel annoyed in his heart: "Why don't you fight back! Hey, you old men, Chen Xiao is not willing to fight back. , do you have to push your limits!"
Mrs. Xiao finally couldn't hold it any longer, frowned and was about to speak, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a scream!
"enough!!!"
But he saw Xiao Qing, who was sitting on the stool, staggeringly stood up, her pale face already flushed, her fists clenched, biting her lips fiercely, staring at Chen Xiao!
"Enough! Enough!!" Xiao Qing's eyes were full of resentment and indignation, and she looked at Fenghuang again: "Who are you! You said you are my biological sister! But where did you come from? ?! You came here to make a big fuss in the Xiao family ancestral hall. Did you know what would happen if you made such a mess? Chen Xiao finally returned to the Xiao family. If you come to make such a fuss, how will he interact with others in the Xiao family in the future? Get along! You, you, you, what do you want me to do!!"
With a swish sound, she saw Xiao Qing quickly raise her hand, hold down the belt on her waist, and pull it hard. The soft sword she was used to carrying as a belt had been pulled out and held in her hand!
Although Xiao Qing seemed to be unable to stand still, she gritted her teeth and walked over step by step. Her arms trembled slightly, and her sword pointed at Fenghuang: "You, where did you come from! Why did you suddenly come here to fight? Noisy! Do you know that if you cause trouble like this, you will..."
As she said this, Xiao Qing finally couldn't bear it any longer, and tears flowed down from the corners of her eyes.
Although she said she was indignant, in fact, only she knew in her heart that her resentment was not because Fenghuang was causing trouble in the ancestral hall. Ninety percent of the reason was because she saw Chen Xiao trying his best to protect Fenghuang and even falling out with the clan elders. The misery in my heart suddenly burst out.
"Whether you are a member of the Xiao family or not, just sit down and obey the clan's instructions! If you continue to mess around like this, what result do you want?!"
Phoenix squinted his eyes, looked at Xiao Qing, and sighed quietly: "Good sister, you don't recognize me, but I recognize you. Over the years, I often run back quietly to see you, but we can't get too close. , every time I hide in the dark and watch you from a distance, so you have never seen me or recognized me. I know why you are sad, do you like this kid too? "
Xiao Qing's body trembled, but she gritted her teeth and shook the soft sword: "Don't say these irrelevant words! Don't mess around, just listen to the instructions of the clan elders."
"Silly girl." Fenghuang smiled: "Of course I have my own reasons for running here suddenly. Believe me, I am doing it for your own good too. There is really no point in staying in the Xiao family."
"Sophistication! You are hurting Chen Xiao!"
Xiao Qing's face was cold, and she suddenly took a few steps forward, thrust her sword and stabbed him!
It was just that she was weak at the moment and felt top-heavy. The sword naturally struck crookedly. Chen Xiao just raised his hand, stretched out two fingers and pinched the edge of the sword, and whispered: " You, don’t do this..."
"I..." Xiao Qing felt sad and angry in her heart: "How am I doing!"
She tried her best to draw, but the sword edge was clamped by Chen Xiao, so how could she move it
While struggling, Chen Xiao sighed and used his fingers to exert force. With a buzzing sound, he bent the edge of the soft sword. Then he turned his wrist and Xiao Qing exclaimed. The hilt of the sword fell out of his hand. Staggering forward, Chen Xiao quickly dropped the sword and reached out to hug Xiao Qing.
This time it was a veritable "left hug and right hug", with Phoenix in her left hand and Xiao Qing in her right hand.
When the two clan elders next to them saw the advantage, they immediately exchanged glances and rushed forward with a cry. Chen Xiao hugged the two girls with both hands. Naturally, it was difficult to resist anymore. Suddenly, he stepped down, and with a cry, he hugged the two girls. The girl jumped up into the air. This leap was more than two meters high, and she jumped over the heads of the two clan elders.
"Chen Xiao! You must protect this outsider today!" A clan leader was furious: "You disrespect the clan rules and make a scene in the ancestral hall. Do you want to be expelled from the Xiao family on the first day you return to the clan?!"
Chen Xiao frowned: "Don't do anything, of course I won't do it. This girl... let her go. If there is any punishment, I will teach you."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Just get out of the way first and talk later."
Fenghuang chuckled. Chen Xiao sighed and glared at the girl. Suddenly, he tightly wrapped his arms around the waists of the two girls and hugged them directly. The two girls lifted their feet off the ground. , but put all his weight on Chen Xiao's arms.
It was okay for Phoenix to return the favor, but Xiao Qing had rarely been so close to Chen Xiao. She couldn't help but blush, and even her breathing became slightly rapid.
"Old Master, I'm sorry, I will give you an explanation." Chen Xiao glanced at Old Mrs. Xiao, but found that Old Mrs. Xiao's expression was dumbfounded. Chen Xiao strode towards the gate of the ancestral hall. He took one step He only walked a few meters and reached the door in a few steps. Those tribesmen behind him were shouting and cursing, but he just pretended that he couldn't hear them, opened the door hard, and rushed out.
There was no one in the alley outside for a long time, but there were still dozens of young warriors from the Xiao family who stayed behind. Seeing Chen Xiao rushing out, they all gathered around. Chen Xiao didn't want to fight with the Xiao family. Like a bird, it flew up to the roof and flew away amidst the exclamations of everyone. But instead of leaving, he headed towards the Xiao family's old residence.
"Yi?" Fenghuang was a little surprised, but Chen Xiao smiled bitterly: "My girlfriend is still at the Xiao family."
Fenghuang naturally knew that it was Zhang Xiaotao. After hearing this, he opened his mouth and his eyes could not help but look a little annoyed. Xiao Qing was so distraught that she could only let Chen Xiao hug her away, but comforted herself in her heart: "Well, I, I am not wrong, I, I couldn't help myself, I was hijacked by him..." But even though she thought so, she couldn't comfort her guilty conscience. She seemed to have sent herself into Chen Xiao's arms on purpose just now.
Even she herself couldn't tell how much of this was intentional...
In the Xiao family's old house, Chen Xiao was familiar with the roads, and he came and went quickly, and soon rushed to the inner house.
Zhang Xiaotao is still waiting here. In fact, ever since that day, Zhang Xiaotao was so angry that she refused to talk to Chen Xiao when she woke up. Although she loves Chen Xiao very much in her heart, as a girl, she still needs to be jealous, and not only needs to be jealous, but she also has to eat a lot.
Let this boy know that this lady is very dissatisfied! Otherwise, I don’t know how many little girls will stick to him in the future! !
