Xi Nianmo stood up as she took out a green token and placed it on the stone table in front of her, "This is the Lightning Sword Manor Lord Token left behind by my father. Could it be that I can't even sit here with this token?"
Before the beardless old man could speak, a middle-aged man with a layer of green Qi on his face stood up. "Nianmu, this seat is yours. There's no harm in taking it."
When Xi Nianmo heard this, her eyes turned slightly red. She bowed towards this middle-aged man and sat down.
The beardless elder who was scolding Xi Nianmo didn't express any more objections when he heard this middle-aged man standing out to speak.
Mo Wuji thought to himself: This really wasn't easy. Finally, there was someone who spoke up to help me. Moreover, this middle-aged man did not seem to be any weaker than Xi Baren.
Xi Baren stood up and said in a clear voice, "A few months ago, Lady Nianmu left the Lightning Sword Manor and the manor didn't have a Manor Lord. Therefore, we chose Xi Sui as the Manor Lord at the last minute …"
The middle-aged man who stood up to speak up for Xi Nianmo previously added, "Elder Baren, Xi Sui is only temporarily helping the Lightning Sword Manor to deal with those few guests. He is not the temporary Manor Lord."
Xi Baren chuckled, "It doesn't matter if it's true or not. After all, now that little miss has returned, we need to choose a new Manor Lord. Back then, when the Old Manor Lord left the Lightning Sword Manor, he didn't appoint the next Manor Lord. Fortunately, even though the Old Manor Master did not return, he still left behind two bloodlines. Nianmu and Xi Sui … "
"Elder Baren, my father will return sooner or later so some words shouldn't be spoken carelessly," Xi Nianmo interrupted Xi Baren's words coldly.
"Elders, let Young Lady Nianmu be the Manor Lord. I've let down Chong 'er's father, I …" A weak woman's voice rang out. Before she could finish her sentence, her voice carried a trace of sobbing.
When Mo Wuji saw this woman speaking, he sighed in his heart at how beautiful this woman was. Not only did this woman have a peerless face that could topple cities, but she also had pink and tender skin that people could not help but want to touch.
Beside the woman sat a man and a woman. The man was very young and ugly. His eyes were long and narrow, and he looked somewhat gloomy. The woman lowered her head as if she was pregnant.
"Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about this. No matter what, it wasn't an easy task to raise young master silently. "The old man who made Xi Nianmo come down from her seat sighed and consoled her.
Xi Nianmo was so angry that she started to tremble. She was sure that this woman had nothing to do with her father but she didn't have any evidence.
Xi Jun, who was seated beside Xi Nianmo, said sternly, "How can a bastard be the Manor Lord of the Lightning Sword Manor?"
"Who are you calling a bastard?" The slender eyed youth suddenly stood up and shouted angrily.
Xi Baren said with a solemn face, "Elder Jun, one month ago, Young Master Sui passed the Xi Clan's bloodline test and is indeed the Old Manor Lord's legitimate son. Even though the manor lord of our Lightning Sword Manor doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman, everyone knows that Xi Sui is more suitable for the manor lord. I'm also inclined to let Nianmu be the village master, but I can't just say it like that. "
Mo Wuji stared blankly at Xi Baren. To be able to do what Xi Baren did, he must be a top notch talent ah.
"Aunt Jun, there's no need to say anymore. Since that's the case, let's proceed with the Manor Lord selection." Xi Nianmo said calmly but her heart was filled with shock.
This was because she believed that Fan Sui wasn't her father's bloodline but now, Xi Baren said that Fan Sui was a direct descendant of the Xi Clan. However, Elder Xi Yibo didn't stand out to object to this. This meant that Xi Baren's test was real.
"Nianmu, the Lightning Sword Manor Lord must be …"
This time, Xi Nianmo didn't wait for Xi Baren to finish his sentence as she pulled Mo Wuji's hand and said, "Let me introduce to everyone here. This is my husband, Mo Wuji. In the future, he will also be a member of our Lightning Sword Manor. Because of certain reasons, his brain suffered some damage. However, he is the same as me in that we both love the Lightning Sword Manor. "
"Nianmu …" Hearing Xi Nianmo call Mo Wuji out and say that he was her husband, the green-faced middle-aged man couldn't hold it in any longer.
The beardless old man stood out once again, "Nianmu, we understand your feelings. Do you know that in order to enter the clan's discussion hall, one must be able to withstand the cleansing of the discussion hall's lightning pool? Otherwise, even a direct descendant wouldn't be qualified to enter. "
"Elder Xi Ti, what do you mean?" Xi Nianmo's face turned pale. There was no need to talk about the fact that Mo Wuji's spiritual roots were blackened. Even if his spiritual roots weren't blackened, he wouldn't be able to cleanse himself in the lightning pool.
So this fella's name was Xi Ti. Mo Wuji was sure that this beardless old man was Fan Sui's subordinate. At this moment, Mo Wuji finally knew what this lightning pool was used for.
"What I mean is that if you can't cleanse yourself in the lightning pool, you wouldn't even be qualified to be the son-in-law of our Lightning Sword Manor." Xi Ti's tone was slightly cold.
Mo Wuji didn't know how impressive this lightning pool was but he was sure that he would be able to withstand it. However, at this moment, he definitely wouldn't stand out and say that he could cleanse himself.
"Big Brother Yibo, what do you mean?" Xi Jun saw that Xi Nianmo didn't say anything else so her gaze landed on the green-faced elder.
Xi Yibo said slowly, "Everyone here is from our Lightning Sword Manor. A few months ago, Xi Sui's wife wasn't able to cleanse herself in the lightning pool too. She was only able to enter the lightning pool because she cultivated our Lightning Sword Manor's technique. How about this, son-in-law can cultivate in our Lightning Sword Manor for a few months before taking the test. "
"I agree," Xi Baren said immediately.
Even the beardless elder, Xi Ti, who had always been against Xi Nianmo, nodded his head and said, "I agree too. After all, Nianmo is the manor lord's daughter so she should be treated equally."
Xi Nianmo's face turned pale but she didn't blame Xi Yibo. Xi Baren knew that Mo Wuji's spirit channels were destroyed and his spiritual roots and primordial spirit were destroyed but Xi Yibo definitely didn't know about it. If Xi Yibo knew about it, he wouldn't have said those words previously.
When Xi Yibo saw Xi Nianmo's expression, he knew that he had come up with a bad idea.
"Many thanks, Uncle Yibo. Nianmo has decided to give up her position as the manor lord of the Lightning Sword Manor. At the same time, Nianmo will leave the Lightning Sword Manor." Xi Nianmo stood up.
She thought that as long as she had a husband, there wouldn't be any problems. She didn't expect that things weren't as she thought.
Mo Wuji hurried to stand up as he couldn't wait to leave this place.
"Little miss, the Lightning Sword Manor is your home so we really don't wish for you to leave. Moreover, the God Domain is huge so where would you be able to find … "Xi Ti said with a tinge of sadness.
"Many thanks but you don't have to worry about where I go." Before Xi Ti could finish his sentence, Xi Nianmo interrupted him.
Xi Baren sighed and said, "We don't wish for little miss to leave but if little miss wants to leave, that is also little miss' freedom. The old manor lord's Lightning Sword Token is the symbol of our Lightning Sword Manor so little miss cannot take it away. "
"This is something that my father left for me so I won't give it to anyone." Xi Nianmo's face turned green and her hands started to tremble.
"You're wrong. This is not something that the manor lord left for you but something that was left for the Lightning Sword Manor." Another elder stood up and said.
"That's right, this Lightning Sword Token doesn't belong to you." In the meeting hall, many direct descendants stood up and said.
Xi Nianmo was still angry about the Lightning Sword Token which made Mo Wuji slightly worried. He felt a sense of danger as he knew that the moment he left this place with Xi Nianmo, he might be hunted down and killed secretly.
"All of you are wrong too. Let me tell all of you now that the Lightning Sword Token belongs to Mo 'Er." A hoarse and cold voice rang out, followed by a brown-robed man walking into the clan's meeting hall.
"Manor Lord?"
"Big brother …"
The moment this brown robed man walked in, everyone in the meeting hall was stunned as they stood up.
"Father …" Xi Nianmo cried as she rushed out and threw herself into the arms of this brown robed man.
Mo Wuji didn't expect that Xi Nianmo's father, Xi Jing, would return at this moment. Regardless, he managed to escape from danger.
"Manor Lord, without you in the Lightning Sword Manor, we are like headless flies." Xi Ti said with a face full of 'surprise' as his chaotic breathing showed how scared he was.
"Is that so? But I saw that you wanted to chase my daughter away … "Xi Jing's words contained a hint of coldness and just as he finished his sentence, his hand had already slapped out. Elder Xi Ti, who was reprimanding Xi Nianmo previously, was turned into a mist of blood in Xi Jing's hand without any ability to resist.
Mo Wuji's heart skipped a beat as this was simply not on the same level. The Manor Lord of the Lightning Sword Manor was simply too strong, so strong that he didn't even dare to think about it.
"Manor Lord, Xi Ti …" Just as Xi Baren said these four words, Xi Jing slapped him once more.
Xi Baren also didn't have any ability to resist as he was turned into a mist of blood. Xi Jing said coldly, "Am I deaf? How can I not hear what you said to my daughter? "
After killing two elders, Xi Jing stared coldly at Fan Lin, "Fan Lin, I was the one who saved you back then. Since when did your son become my son? Not only did you become my son, you even want to chase my daughter out of the Lightning Sword Manor? "
Fan Lin's face turned pale as she said with a trembling voice, "Xi Jing, you swore that you wouldn't hurt my mother and son. Don't tell me you're going to go back on your promise? "
Xi Jing's face turned gloomy as he remained silent for a long time before shouting, "Leave now and never let me see the two of you ever again."
Fan Lin hurriedly grabbed the trembling Fan Sui and hastened her footsteps out. As for the pregnant woman, the two of them didn't even bother to look at her.
However, Xi Jing's massacre didn't end as he continued to strike out with his hand. Every time he struck out, a mist of blood would be formed. The faces of everyone in the house turned ashen as no one dared to resist.
When half of the people in the house were gone, Xi Jing finally stopped his massacre as his gaze landed on Mo Wuji, "You're quite gutsy to actually dare to be the son-in-law of my Lightning Sword Manor. I shall leave you to die …"
Before Xi Jing could finish his sentence, a slap was already flying towards Mo Wuji.
