However, in Xiao Chen's eyes, this was just a small matter. If it wasn't for his father, Xiao Chen wouldn't even look at Mo Feng because his status was too low.
He returned home directly. Fifteen minutes later, Elder Wu, who had finished dealing with Mo Feng, appeared in front of Xiao Chen. Seeing this, Xiao Chen asked indifferently, "Where is Senior Brother Qin Heng?"
In the previous message, Xiao Chen had contacted Qin Heng and asked him to bring fifty thousand experts from East Pass City to Ling Shan County City.
If it was anyone else, it would be impossible to mobilize fifty thousand troops without the approval of a Ruler. However, Xiao Chen was different. With his status, the Heavenly Pill Ruler and the Heavenly Wood Ruler obviously wouldn't refuse. In addition, the situation in East Sun Region had already been settled and the fifty thousand troops didn't have any missions. Naturally, they would give Xiao Chen face.
Hearing Xiao Chen's question, Elder Wu replied, "They will arrive tomorrow morning."
"Okay. Tell Senior Brother Qin Heng that the army doesn't need to enter the city tomorrow. He only needs to select three thousand elites to enter the city. The rest will surround the thirty thousand Xiao Family soldiers outside the city. Whoever dares to resist will be executed on the spot," Xiao Chen said indifferently.
"Yes," Elder Wu replied respectfully and then left the room.
After a night of silence, the entire Xiao Family was bustling with noise and excitement early the next morning. This was because today was the day of the family meeting. The meeting hadn't started yet, but everyone in the Xiao Family could roughly guess the content of the meeting.
Time passed slowly. One by one, the eighteen year old direct descendants of the Xiao Family arrived outside the Xiao Family's main hall. Soon, the originally huge main hall was filled with hundreds of direct descendants of the Xiao Family. In the end, Xiao Mu and Xiao Feng appeared together. Now, only Xiao Qing was left.
Not long after, Xiao Qing also entered the main hall accompanied by the five great elders. Thus, the family meeting officially began.
It was unknown whether it was because victory was in his hands or because he was too confident, but when he arrived, he didn't even say a word of courtesy.
"Everyone, the purpose of this family meeting is to reconsider the appointment of the Family Head. I feel that Xiao Qing is not suitable to be the Family Head. What do you all think?"
Hearing Xiao Feng's words, a hint of disappointment flashed across Xiao Qing's eyes as he sat on the main seat. Xiao Feng was his own brother, yet he couldn't wait to pull him down?
He sighed silently. At the same time, the great elder sitting on Xiao Qing's left shouted angrily, "Xiao Feng's mouth.....
The First Elder's face was full of anger. The five elders were firmly on Xiao Qing's side. At the same time, the five of them understood that Xiao Feng was digging his own grave by doing this. How could he win against Xiao Chen?
Facing the First Elder's rebuke, Xiao Feng laughed coldly and said, "First Elder, this clan meeting isn't decided by one person alone. It's normal for me to make such a suggestion. Moreover, the ancestral teachings state that the clan leader can be appointed or dismissed during the clan meeting. There shouldn't be a problem with me making such a suggestion, right? . Or do you want to go against the ancestral teachings? "
Since things had already progressed to this stage, Xiao Feng had clearly shed all pretense of cordiality. Following which, everyone began a meaningless debate. In the end, it was still Xiao Feng's suggestion to directly start voting. The first thing to be decided was the appointment and dismissal of Xiao Qing as the Family Head.
"Whoever thinks that Xiao Qing is not suitable to be the Family Head, please raise your hand." Xiao Feng was the first to raise his right hand. Then, Xiao Mu and their sons also raised their right hands. At the same time, more than half of the Xiao Family's direct descendants in the hall also raised their hands.
Seeing that these people were really going to dismiss Xiao Qing as the Family Head, the great elder's face turned red. His eyes were burning with rage. In the end, he pointed at the crowd and said helplessly. "Stupid …"
These people had obviously been bribed by Xiao Feng and Xiao Mu. The great elder could only use the word 'stupid' to describe their choice.
More than half of the people chose to dismiss Xiao Qing as the Family Head. Xiao Feng and Xiao Mu were also relieved. Just as Xiao Feng was about to announce the result, a calm voice sounded from outside the hall. "I'm still missing a vote in the family meeting, right?"
Along with this voice, everyone saw Xiao Chen in a white robe walking in slowly.
Seeing Xiao Chen, Xiao Feng frowned slightly. But thinking that the result was already decided, Xiao Feng sneered. "Xiao Chen, you're too late. Can't you see that the situation is already one-sided?"
"Idiot." Hearing Xiao Feng's words, Xiao Chen said coldly. Then, he ignored Xiao Feng and went to the center of the hall. He swept his gaze across the crowd.
Looking at these people who had been bribed by Xiao Feng and Xiao Mu, Xiao Chen's eyes were filled with pity. Just as the great elder said, these people were really stupid.
Although Xiao Chen didn't know what benefits Xiao Feng and Xiao Mu gave them, their choice could only be described as' stupid '. Moreover, it was extremely stupid.
"You all want to dismiss my father as the Family Head?" Looking at the crowd, Xiao Chen said indifferently.
"Chen 'er, your father's personality is indeed not suitable to be the Family Head. We are also thinking for the Family." Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Xiao Chen's confidant, who was also Xiao Chen's senior, put on an act. His expression was as though he was really thinking for the Family.
Extremely hypocritical. However, Xiao Chen wasn't angry. There was no point in arguing with these idiots. Xiao Chen smiled and continued. "What about you all? Do you all have the same intention? Are you all determined to dismiss my father as Family Head? "
He continued to ask the people who hadn't spoken yet. However, facing Xiao Chen's question, these people all chose to remain silent. However, although no one answered Xiao Chen's question, they still didn't put down their hands. Very clearly, they still chose to stand on Xiao Feng and Xiao Mu's side.
Seeing this, Xiao Chen smiled. His tone was still as calm as before.
"Okay, since it's like this, my father and I will withdraw from the Xiao Family. You all can let whoever you want be the Family Head."
Xiao Chen chose to withdraw from the Xiao Family. Hearing this, Xiao Mu, Xiao Feng and the people who supported them were stunned at first. However, very quickly, they secretly rejoiced.
No one would have thought that Xiao Chen would actually choose to withdraw from the Xiao Family. Moreover, he was withdrawing from the Family Head. In this way, there would be no obstruction to the Family Head position. Xiao Feng and Xiao Mu would be able to smoothly sit on the Family Head position.
They didn't think that things would go so smoothly. Xiao Chen was actually so easy to talk to. However, compared to everyone's joy, the First Elder on the high seat immediately said. "Chen 'er, don't cause trouble."
