Noticing Chen Ling's gaze, Xiao Qing pretended not to see it and continued to drink his wine. On the other side, after hearing this, a chill flashed through Xiao Chen's eyes as he asked in a deep voice.
"What happened to the Xiao clan?"
"The Xiao clan is doing very well. Third brother, you don't have to worry about that. However, the problem now is that the Xiao clan is already doing too well. It's so good that some people can't even tell north from south." Chen Ling smiled bitterly.
Xiao Chen quickly learned about the Xiao clan from Chen Ling. Just as Chen Ling had said, the Xiao clan was doing fine. In fact, it was great.
Many people now knew that the Sacred Palace's ancestor, Xiao Sheng, and the first Chosen, Xiao Chen, were both from the Xiao clan. With the two of them, the Xiao clan's status naturally rose.
Originally, the Xiao clan had always been content with living in a remote corner of the Lingshan County City. They rarely interfered with the affairs of the world. Although there were some disciples in the clan who joined the Sacred Palace, they all relied on their own abilities to pass the test.
In the beginning, the disciples of the Xiao Clan did a good job and kept their composure. However, as the saying goes, a person's life is the shadow of a tree. Because of Xiao Chen and his granddaughter, many human clans and even sacred sects went to visit the Xiao Clan one after another.
In the beginning, it was just a simple visit and nothing more than sending some gifts. However, in the past few months, many people in the Xiao clan began to wantonly marry people from the large clans and Sacred Sects.
In a short three months, the Xiao clan had already held a total of eight wedding banquets. The people who were married were either the young ladies of the large clans or the genius disciples of the Sacred Sects.
This was not the end. After the marriage, the Xiao clan used Xiao Chen's relationship to arrange for the children of the so-called in-laws to enter the Wuchen Sacred Hall to cultivate.
These people had not passed the test and were completely forced in. Although the elders of the Wuchen Sacred Hall were angry, there was nothing they could do. Xiao Chen was the Chosen of the Wuchen Sacred Hall, and all of these large clans were in-laws of the Xiao clan.
Roughly estimating that there were already no less than a hundred people like this who had been forced into the Wuchen Sacred Hall.
Not only that, but there were even people who targeted Fei Mei, Qingluo, and the others. Although the six of them were only Xiao Chen's maids, everyone knew that Xiao Chen valued them greatly. They could be considered the closest group of people to Xiao Chen. In addition, although they were maids, they were all outstanding beauties.
In addition, the six of them following Xiao Chen and the others were all experts. As a result, the six of their temperaments were not inferior to the young ladies of the large clans.
Therefore, many young masters of the large clans and the Chosen of the Saint sects actually launched a fierce pursuit of Fei Mei, Qingluo, and the others.
He told Xiao Chen everything in detail. After hearing Chen Ling's words, Xiao Chen's face had completely darkened. In his anger, Xiao Chen almost unconsciously slammed his palm on the stone table in front of him. With a bang, the hard stone table was directly shattered into powder by Xiao Chen. At the same time, he shouted angrily, "What are you talking about?!"
"What do they think my Wuchen Sacred Hall is? A garbage camp? "
The sudden loud noise and angry shout caused the girls who were chatting in the room to rush out. Bai Ruyue asked worriedly when she saw Xiao Chen's angry expression.
"What's wrong, Chen 'er? Why are you so angry? Did something happen?"
Xiao Chen said angrily in the face of Bai Ruyue's question. "Mother, do you know about the Xiao clan? Is what Big Brother said true? "
"This … this … is true." Hearing this, Bai Ruyue hesitated, but nodded in the end.
Bai Ruyue had indeed heard about the Xiao clan and had warned the Xiao clan. However, the Xiao clan didn't listen, especially the Xiao clan's branch family members.
In fact, the Xiao clan's direct descendants didn't participate too much in this matter, but the branch family members were very crazy. Perhaps they were afraid of being poor before, but now that they saw an opportunity to leap over the dragon gate, they couldn't stay calm anymore.
Just as Chen Ling said, Bai Ruyue and Xiao Qing were too soft-hearted. Although the two elders were very dissatisfied with the Xiao clan's actions, they couldn't harden their hearts to punish them. After reprimanding and reminding them several times, the branch family members still didn't change anything. The two elders simply decided to ignore them. In the past few months, the two elders didn't have any contact with the Xiao clan. Even when the Xiao clan came to visit, the two elders chose to close the door and refuse to see them.
From this point of view, Xiao Qing and Bai Ruyue were reasonable. However, because of their personalities, they couldn't handle this matter properly.
Seeing his mother nervously nod and admit, Xiao Chen quickly realized that his attitude towards his mother was a little bad. However, before Xiao Chen could open his mouth to admit his mistake, Long Qing said unhappily.
"Little brother, how can you talk to your mother like that? Mother didn't participate in this matter and has already stopped it. Quickly apologize to your mother."
Although Long Qing wasn't Bai Ruyue's biological daughter, she was indeed very good to Bai Ruyue. Even if Xiao Chen was disrespectful to Bai Ruyue, Long Qing wouldn't hesitate to scold him.
Facing Long Qing's reprimand, Xiao Chen obediently said to his mother, Bai Ruyue. "Mother, I was wrong. I was too agitated just now."
The two elders couldn't be blamed for this matter. They had already cut off all contact with the Xiao Family and had never helped the Xiao Family in the slightest, much less agreed to any of their unreasonable requests.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Bai Ruyue nodded with reddened eyes. Bai Ruyue was indeed a little sad when she was questioned by her son.
After comforting Bai Ruyue for a while, Xiao Chen waited for Bai Ruyue to recover before letting Qin Shuirou and the others take care of his mother to rest.
After Bai Ruyue left, Xiao Qing finished the wine in his hand and also got up to leave. However, before he left, Xiao Qing said earnestly to Xiao Chen.
"Chen 'er, your mother and I are too soft-hearted. As your father, I know that letting you handle this matter is the best choice. However, if possible, please show some mercy. After all, we are family. Even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected."
Hearing Xiao Qing's words, Xiao Chen nodded helplessly. Seeing this, Xiao Qing turned to leave and prepared to rest. However, one could vaguely hear Xiao Qing sighing as he walked.
"Sigh, this person's heart is red, but his eyes are black. But if the eyes are red, then the heart is black. Sigh …"
