Chapter 23 Xiao Yan becomes more and more twisted

Although he was unwilling, Xiao Ning couldn't help feeling better when he thought that the person who would be sitting next to Xun'er was not Xiao Yan, but Xiao Se, who had no interest in Xun'er at all.

"Master, three elders." Seeing Xiao Ning sitting down, Xiao Se also walked forward slowly and bowed respectfully to Xiao Zhan and the other three who were in the upper seats.

"Well, just find a seat and sit down." Xiao Zhan waved his hand casually. He was already troubled enough at the moment and had no time to pay attention to this ordinary junior of the Xiao family.

Xiao Se didn't care about Xiao Zhan's attitude. He was just pretending. It was still unclear whether he would come back after going out for training.

Looking around, the only empty seat in the entire hall was next to Xiao Xun'er. Naturally, Xiao Se walked to the empty seat next to Xun'er.

"Miss Xun'er, do you mind if I sit here?" Xiao Se said neither humble nor arrogant, without any flattery in his tone.

Xun'er shook her head and said to Xiao Se in a cold voice, "Cousin Xiao Se, please feel free to do as you please."

"Yeah." Xiao Se nodded slightly, leaned back, and closed his eyes to rest.

The young men and women of the Xiao family who were around couldn't help feeling jealous when they saw Xiao Se sitting next to Xiao Xun'er so calmly. You know, several people had tried to sit here before but were all rejected by Xun'er.

Even Xiao Yan glanced at Xiao Se angrily. His hands hidden in his sleeves were clenched so tightly that his fingers turned white. He recalled the scene of Xun'er and Xiao Se "talking and laughing" in front of his courtyard gate two months ago. He was so angry that he wanted to beat Xiao Se up.

The reactions of Xiao Yan and some of the young men in the Xiao family naturally fell into Xiao Se's senses, but he didn't care. The Xiao family was just a transition point for him.

"Ahem." The great elder of the Xiao family looked around and saw that all the direct descendants of the Xiao family had arrived. He looked at Xiao Zhan and said indifferently: "Clan leader since everyone is here, let's start the clan meeting now."

Xiao Zhan frowned, waved his hand helplessly, and said: "The clan meeting begins."

After a lot of nonsense, the clan meeting finally came to an end.

Xiao Zhan glanced at everyone indifferently and said solemnly: "Everyone, do you have anything else to propose? If not, this clan meeting ends here."

Hearing this, the Great Elder winked at a middle-aged man with a curly beard beside Xiao Ning.

"Chief, three elders, I have something to say." The middle-aged man with a curly beard stood up and bowed to Xiao Zhan and the other three.

Seeing the middle-aged man with a curly beard stand up, Xiao Zhan frowned and asked, "Xiao Ba, if you have anything to say, tell me."

"Haha, Xiao Ba, your cultivation has reached the Seven Stars of Fighting Master, and you are an indispensable member of my Xiao family. The clan leader and several of our elders will seriously consider your suggestion." The Great Elder continued with a smile.

"Yes, yes." The other two elders immediately echoed.

Seeing the three elders nod, Xiao Ba took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I propose to abolish Xiao Yan's position as the young patriarch."

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a stone struck, causing a thousand waves.

"Crack!" Xiao Zhan's face was extremely gloomy, and the jade cup in his hand was crushed to pieces with a loud bang.

The atmosphere in the hall was strange and unusual.

Some were surprised, some were regretful, some were sympathetic, and more were gloating over other people's misfortune.

"Hehe, you were still a fighter at the test ceremony two months ago and became a fourth-level fighter a month ago. Now you only have the third-level fighter. Let's see how you, the 'first genius of the Xiao family in a hundred years', can act so arrogantly in the future."

Ever since the news of Xiao Yan's disappearance of his fighting spirit came to light, some of the younger boys and girls had changed their previous servile attitudes. After hearing Xiao Ba's proposal to abolish Xiao Yan's position as the young patriarch, their faces suddenly became interesting. There was already a hint of sarcasm and ridicule in their eyes when they looked at Xiao Yan.

Looking at Xiao Zhan's extremely gloomy face, cold sweat dripped from Xiao Ba's forehead, but after seeing the three elders giving him reassuring eyes, he still chose to bite the bullet.

"Patriarch, I know that Xiao Yan is your son, but for the sake of the Xiao family, I have to do this. In the past, as the young patriarch, Xiao Yan received more than half of the cultivation resources distributed by the family to the younger generation. If he was still gifted, this would not be a big deal. But now he only has three levels of fighting spirit left. If he continues to be like before, not only will he waste family resources, but he will also drag down the cultivation progress of other geniuses. This... is not worth the loss." Xiao Ba said in a deep voice, sighing helplessly.

Speaking of cultivation resources, the younger generation in the hall sighed and said sour words that they did not want to believe:

"No wonder Xiao Yan cultivated so fast. We can hardly take a medicinal bath once every ten days or half a month. It seems that he soaks in medicine jars every day. If it were me, I could also become a fighter before the age of twelve."

"Haha, clan leader, I think what Xiao Ba said makes sense. We shouldn't waste cultivation resources on someone who has no talent." The great elder looked at Xiao Zhan with a smile, and the word "no talent" was pronounced with particular emphasis.

"Yes, Patriarch, we should use these resources to cultivate more talents for the Xiao family." The second elder continued.

"I agree with Xiao Ba's proposal." The third elder nodded.

"I agree."

With the three elders taking the lead, some elders who had a say and real power in the family also spoke up. They all wanted to get more for their children.

"You guys." At this moment Xiao Zhan's face was extremely gloomy. He felt very aggrieved and was about to hit someone. He never expected that these three old foxes would instigate so many people.

Just when Xiao Zhan was in a dilemma, Xiao Yan's voice, which was filled with suppressed anger, finally suddenly exploded in the hall.

"Three elders, Deacon Xiao Ba, I don't need the resources, but we may not agree to abolish the young patriarch."

The hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes turned to Xiao Yan, who was roaring in the corner.

"Xiao Yan, this is a clan meeting, you have no right to speak, why don't you shut up?" The second elder's face darkened and he shouted angrily.

"Xiao Yan, please step back. This is a clan meeting. We the higher-ups will take care of the specific arrangements." The third elder said calmly.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan slowly stood up, with a hint of sarcasm on his lips, and sneered: "Two months ago, why didn't you dare to talk to me like this? Is it because you are afraid of my cultivation talent and afraid that I will retaliate against you after I become powerful?"

He turned his eyes and scanned the younger generation in the hall. When he saw Xiao Mei's evasive gaze, the sneer on the corner of his mouth became even more intense. He finally understood the ugly face of this family.

However, Xiao Yan did not notice at all that his arrogant and domineering behavior in the past was no different from the people who were mocking him now, it was just that the roles were reversed.
