Zijin City.
Location: Xiao family mansion.
The same location: the mansion's hall.
At this moment, Xiao Yi's face was pale as he sat in a wheelchair. He was on a drip and looked very weak.
Behind her stood her two beautiful wives, Shu Nan and the pregnant Yu Qi. The two of them accompanied her with concern, their beautiful eyes filled with endless worry.
On the mahogany chair below, Tang Wushuang was currently sipping on a cup of tea. There was a trace of peculiarity in his expression. If one didn't observe carefully, it would be very hard to notice.
"Big Brother Xiao, the current situation is not very optimistic. I feel that Big Brother Xiao should retreat for now." Tang Wushuang was struggling in his heart. Xiao Yi had done me a favor, but for the sake of the entire family's benefits, and also for personal reasons …
If Xiao Yi gave him the Xuan-Yuan Sword, that would be for the best. It would prevent a scene of brothers turning against each other.
He could only hope that Xiao Yi could see the current situation clearly.
"How did the aristocratic families decide?" Xiao Yi asked weakly, but there was a hint of sadness in the depths of his eyes. He didn't need to think too much to know why his good brother had come.
Tang Wushuang let out a breath, then placed the teacup on the table, "This time around, when the people from the north went to snatch it, the aristocratic families from the south used this as an excuse and filed a lawsuit against the north. Furthermore, the two big shots from the south are also supporting them from the back. The fact that the north didn't respond to the lawsuit, I'm afraid that they tacitly agreed to it."
"So in order to avoid a large-scale death, both sides reached an agreement."
"What agreement?" Xiao Yi asked in a deep voice.
It was hard for Tang Wushuang to say it out loud. After a long while, he said, "The southern clans will choose three clan heads to come to the north to snatch it, but they can't bring anyone along! Whether we can seize it or not will depend on the abilities of the three Patriarchs. "
"Do you have any requests for the Northern Family?"
Tang Wushuang shook his head. If I had a request, I wouldn't be sitting here.
Actually, to the aristocratic families, this matter was not important. The South was fighting for their face, and they fought for this fair and square counterattack. The aristocratic families in the North did not have any rules, so they definitely had the intention of protecting them.
Of course, this wasn't to protect the Xiao Family, but rather to protect the Ancient Godly Item from falling into the hands of the Southerners. After all, if the Ancient Godly Item was really snatched away by the Southerners, it would be a great humiliation.
As for the target of the fight …
It went without saying that it was Xiao Yi's Xuanyuan Sword. Everyone knew that Xiao Yi had been injured in the battle against the black-robed man. It was very simple to take advantage of his weakness.
It was irrational to rob the Bai Clan. After all, Bai Ci was very eccentric. There was also Wang Dabao, the King of Luck.
Xiao Yi slowly closed his eyes and said, "It seems like they plan to wash my Xiao Family in blood!"
"Big Brother Xiao, the Xuanyuan Sword is a hot potato now. As long as you don't have the Xuanyuan Sword, they won't do anything to you. After all, their target is the Ancient Godly Item, not Big Brother Xiao."
Xiao Yi opened his eyes, revealing a deathly aura: "Wushuang, what do you think big brother should do?"
That was what he wanted to hear!
Tang Wushuang's body slightly leaned forward, and it could be seen just how much he longed for it right now. This minute movement was seen by Xiao Yi very clearly.
"Big Brother Xiao, now all the small clans and rich merchants have announced that they are staying away from you. The situation is very bad. If you trust Wushuang, you can give the Xuanyuan Sword to Wushuang for safekeeping. Wushuang will definitely protect you!" In actuality, Tang Wushuang had thought of many kinds of methods. Not only would he be able to obtain the Xuan-Yuan Sword, but he would also be able to not destroy the friendship between them.
This was the only method he could try. However, when the time came, he would definitely be lectured by his master.
If it was 10 days ago, Xiao Yi might have handed over Xuanyuan Sword without holding anything back, but now …
That was impossible. He could even see the intention of this brotherly man.
The Xuan Yuan Sword was an Ancient Godly Item, there was no need to talk about its might. For it to be able to contend against the Death Mage's Scythe of Death, it was even able to leave a dent in the Scythe of Death. From this, it could be seen just how powerful the Xuan Yuan Sword was.
Who wouldn't want to possess such an Ancient Godly Item? If the Aristocratic Families didn't set a limit on the number of Ancient Godly Items that they could possess, they would have come to snatch it long ago.
Among all swords, the Xuanyuan Sword was the king. It was an ancient godly item that even aristocratic families wanted to possess!
Tang Wushuang's words were indeed pleasant to hear. He said that he would temporarily keep it for safekeeping. Most probably, once he went there, there would be no possibility of him taking it back.
Xiao Yi sighed and said: "Wushuang, back then when I snatched this Xuan Yuan Sword, it was fortunate that you were there to help me restrain the enemy!"
Hearing what Xiao Yi said, Tang Wushuang was delighted in his heart.
"But! The Xuan-Yuan Sword is the symbol of our Xiao Family. The Xiao Clan is no longer the Xiao Clan. Wushuang, you should understand what I mean! " Xiao Yi didn't want to point it out. He only wanted Tang Wushuang to give up on the thought of snatching the Xuan-Yuan Sword. If that's the case, then we can still continue being brothers.
However, Tang Wushuang didn't think so. Back then, if it wasn't for me helping you, you wouldn't have been able to snatch Xuan-Yuan Sword!
Even at this time, you still want to protect it! Do you really not trust me that much!
The more Tang Wushuang thought about it, the more he was unwilling to accept it. Originally, Xiao Family and Tang Family were on the same starting line, and it was because Xiao Family snatched Xuan-Yuan Sword that their momentum overshadowed Tang Family.
Everyone thought that he was Xiao Yi's lackey, a hired thug.
After all, when he was weak, Brother Xiao had helped him out. However, even at this time, he is still protecting the sword!
Tang Wushuang was furious!
He thought to himself, what teacher said is right, on the path of power, there are only benefits!
"Big brother Xiao, if you still don't make a decision now! When they come, Wushuang won't be able to help you anymore! "Tang Wushuang's brows wrinkled tightly, and his tone actually carried a threatening tone.
This made Xiao Yi very hurt. This world was filled with all kinds of benefits and temptations. Originally, he thought that Tang Wushuang would be able to walk with him to the end, but in the end, Tang Wushuang was still unable to endure the temptation of Xuan-Yuan Sword.
"Wushuang, Brother Xiao appreciates your kind intentions, but you should just do what you have to do!" Xiao Yi sighed. Today is probably the day when we fall out with each other!
"Yo ~ Young master Tang, you came so early, why didn't you call your brother along?"
A young man could be seen walking in from outside the door. He was wearing a white singlet, and his explosive muscles were exposed, looking very sexy.
The full beard on his face added a sense of manliness, and his facial features were very pleasant to look at.
This man's name was Ling Tian, and he was the head of the Ling Family in the northeast. The purpose of him coming here was very obvious.
Xuan-Yuan Sword!
From there, he would obtain the qualification to be promoted to an aristocratic family.
Speaking of which, this Ling Tian and Xiao Yi had interacted before. Back then, they also helped each other out. Just that, they were not in the same city, so their relationship wasn't very close.
"So it's Ling Tian who came, quickly take a seat. Shu Nan, serve the tea." Although Xiao Yi had a smile on his face, he felt uncomfortable in his heart. Other than Tang Wushuang, Ling Tian could also be considered as a friend.
However, he didn't expect that a disaster would occur. It was fine if a normal friend left, but a good brother and a good friend also changed sides. This was a test, and the test was all about human nature.
"Brother Xiao, sister-in-law." Ling Tian cupped his hands, and didn't reveal the purpose of him coming here.
Shu Nan smiled gently, "Ling Tian, quickly take a seat."
"Alright, sister-in-law." Ling Tian appeared to be very forthright, forming a clear contrast with Tang Wushuang's expression.
After drinking the tea that Shu Nan served, Ling Tian smiled and said, "Good tea, it's much better than the tea at home."
Yu Qi laughed, "If you feel that it's good, I can prepare a few packets for you to bring back."
"Sister-in-law, don't, I am a rough person, and I was just pretending just now. In actuality, it's so bitter … it would be a waste to give it to me." Ling Tian laughed loudly, and the tense atmosphere eased up a bit.
After pausing for a moment, Ling Tian asked curiously, "Brother Xiao, are your injuries alright?"
