The next morning.
The advisor arrived early and Xiatian was ready.
"Sixth Young Master, are you used to it?" Asked the advisor.
"Yes." Xiatian nodded. After he came to the Chen family, the advisor was the only one who treated him well. Although the third Miss treated him well, the third Miss and the advisor were in different situations. The third Miss' status was limited and she was afraid of many things. However, the advisor was different. In the Chen family, no one dared to go against the advisor.
"Let's go. The master has something to do in the afternoon." The advisor led Xiatian outside.
The master's courtyard!!
The other courtyards here were bigger, but they didn't look luxurious. On the contrary, it looked more like a place for meditation.
"Advisor!"
"Advisor!!"
All the servants bowed to the advisor. Besides, there was no need to report at the door.
"Help me report that the sixth Young Master and I are here." The advisor said.
"Yes!!" The servants hurried inside.
Normally, there was no need to report the advisor's arrival. However, since the advisor asked them to report, they had to report quickly.
After a while!!
"Advisor, please!!"
At this moment, a series of hurried voices came from outside. These voices were none other than the young masters and young ladies of the Chen family.
"Greetings, Young Masters and Young Ladies!!" The advisor bowed slightly.
"What a coincidence. Advisor, you're here too." The eldest Young Master smiled.
Coincidence?
From their footsteps, it could be seen that these people had just received the news and rushed over. They were here to monitor Xiatian.
Xiatian's courtyard was surrounded by these people's eyes. If anything happened to Xiatian, they would know immediately. They just received the news that the advisor brought Xiatian to see the master. They hurried over. This was the first time Xiatian met the master. Who could guarantee that Xiatian wouldn't say anything?
It would be bad if Xiatian said something bad to them. Now that they were all here, even if Xiatian said something bad, they didn't have to be afraid. They could also think of a way to deal with it.
Moreover, their presence here could serve as a deterrent to Xiatian.
If everyone testified against each other and ostracized Xiatian, then Xiatian would never be able to stand out.
"Well, since we're here, let's go meet the family head together," said the advisor.
"Alright!!" Eldest Young Master and the others nodded and followed the advisor inside.
After entering the hall, the Patriarch was sitting there.
"Greetings, Father." All the young masters and young mistresses bowed slightly, and Xiatian followed suit.
"Rise, all of you. Why are all of you here today?" The Patriarch was also a little curious.
"Father, we all bumped into each other outside. We planned to come here today to discuss the archery competition in five days with you," said Eldest Young Master.
"Oh, the archery competition will continue as usual. When the time comes, choose three of you brothers and sisters to represent our family. When the hunting meet comes, it will be good for our Chen family's reputation." The Patriarch nodded and didn't think too much about it. However, his gaze quickly turned to Xiatian, "Xiao Liu, how do you feel after coming back?"
"Not bad!!" Xiatian said faintly.
His tone was a little stiff.
"Sixth Brother, be more polite when you speak to Father," reminded The Seventh Princes.
"Oh!! Hello, Father!! "Xiatian hurriedly said. When he spoke, he was a little evasive, as if he was afraid of something.
Everyone was stunned by his action.
Even The Seventh Princes' eyes widened.
Fear!!
Everyone could see that Xiatian was afraid of The Seventh Princes from the bottom of his heart.
"Hmm?" The Patriarch frowned and then looked at The Seventh Princes, "Little Seven, what's going on?"
Since he could become the Patriarch, he naturally wasn't a fool. Of course, he could see Xiatian's fear at this moment.
A child who had just returned to the family was actually afraid of a younger brother.
There was no need to say more to know what was going on.
Moreover, looking at Xiatian's expression, this was definitely not an act.
"Father, I …" The Seventh Princes was also at a loss for words. He didn't know how to explain.
Step!!
The Patriarch stood up directly, "Xiao Liu, come here."
Xiatian walked forward little by little.
When he walked in front of the Patriarch, the Patriarch first slapped Xiatian's face.
Xiatian's nose immediately began to bleed, and several wounds appeared on his face. Everyone understood what this meant. This meant that Xiatian's face had just been injured in the past two days. It was just that he had taken some healing medicine, so the wounds had just healed. Although it wasn't obvious on the surface, as long as the Patriarch used the same amount of strength, it could be redone. Because there were absolutely no wounds on the other parts, there wouldn't be any traces of damage there.
"Hmph!!" The Patriarch snorted coldly and then tore apart the clothes on Xiatian's shoulder.
It was red and swollen.
Xiatian's shoulder was a little red and swollen. He slapped his hand on Xiatian's shoulder again.
Xiatian's shoulder was full of bloodstains, and his shoulder seemed to be twice as thick as a normal person's.
Rip!!
The Patriarch tore apart the pants on Xiatian's left leg again.
At a glance, it was obvious that there was a wound there, and it was a new one.
Bang!!
The Patriarch slammed his hand on the table. "What's going on?"
"Father, Sixth Brother insisted on having a duel with me. I didn't agree at first, then Sixth Brother said that I didn't have brotherly loyalty. In the end, I had no choice but to agree. During the duel, I accidentally injured Sixth Brother." The Seventh Princes hurriedly explained.
"Bullsh * t, do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Xiao Liu just came back and doesn't know anyone, and he went to challenge you to a duel? Has he practiced martial arts before? "Asked the Patriarch angrily.
He hated it the most when his sons schemed against each other, let alone when it was a direct injury.
"Father, maybe Sixth Brother just came back, and Seventh Brother quarreled with him. They're still young and don't know any better." Eldest Young Master stepped forward and said. He was trying to make excuses for The Seventh Princes. Then, he looked at Xiatian. "Sixth Brother, tell us what happened?"
Hearing this, everyone looked at Xiatian.
Everyone was waiting for him to answer.
"It has nothing to do with anyone else, I threw myself," Xiatian said.
Hearing Xiatian's words, everyone was stunned. Originally, everyone thought that Xiatian would take the opportunity to accuse Seventh Brother, but if he didn't explain it clearly, Eldest Young Master could pick on him and help Seventh Brother turn the tables. But now, Xiatian actually said that he fell himself, which completely helped Seventh Brother get away with it.
However, The Seventh Princes had already admitted it, so no one would believe Xiatian's words.
