The strong were respected, and the weak were servants. Not to mention the cruel environment of the Beichen Star Field, this rule was also followed in the Central Territory.
Ye Xuan had already faintly guessed what kind of goal this woman in front of him had. Although this woman was already married and her body was filled with a mature charm, she was indeed a rare beauty. However, in Ye Xuan's opinion, she was only so-so. It was impossible for him to have any thoughts about her.
In fact, in Ye Xuan's heart, this woman had already been sentenced to death. Although she was still alive, she just hadn't encountered the right time.
"Madam, you're too polite. You haven't been cleared of the poison, and you have cold blood in your body. You don't have to be so courteous," Ye Xuan said with a faint smile.
"Lingxue doesn't dare to forget Sir's great kindness. However, as members of the Xiao Family, we have already violated the family rules. I'm afraid we can't be kind today."
Ying Lingxue was not a peerless beauty. She was just a graceful young woman, but often this kind of mature and charming young woman was the most attractive to men. At this moment, her face was full of sadness, which made people want to cherish her.
At this moment, Xiao Changhe frowned slightly. He had a panoramic view of his sister-in-law's appearance, and a touch of shame and indignation flashed through his eyes.
Xiao Changhe knew very well what kind of person Ying Lingxue was. She was an extremely proud and strange woman. Except for the tender treatment she gave to her dead brother, she usually wouldn't look at any man, let alone show such a weak and pitiful appearance at this moment.
Xiao Changhe was not stupid. He had already faintly seen that his sister-in-law's wife was showing goodwill to Ye Xuan and was faintly tempting him.
Although this kind of temptation was very subtle, it was real.
Xiao Changhe felt ashamed and indignant. He wanted to remind Ying Lingxue, but when he opened his mouth, he saw Ying Lingxue giving him a fierce look. This made him sigh helplessly and then lower his eyes.
Sad and lamentable. In order to survive, the only way out was to rely on the strong. Xiao Changhe had already understood Ying Lingxue's meaning!
At this moment, the atmosphere was a little strange. Only the young boy, who was young and ignorant, did not notice the strange atmosphere. Instead, because his mother had been rescued, his little face was full of excitement.
"I have an affinity with this child. I once promised him in the Ice Sea that I would cure your Cold Blood Disease. I will not sit by and watch you and your child suffer this calamity."
Ye Xuan looked at Ying Lingxue indifferently, which made the young woman's face turn pale. It was as if her thoughts were seen through by Ye Xuan. She looked slightly embarrassed and felt ashamed.
"Hmm?"
Ye Xuan's lips curled into a playful smile, and then he chuckled. "As expected of a great clan, you're not too late."
As Ye Xuan's words fell, the sound of something breaking through the air rang out continuously. The entire void rumbled as if thunderclouds were descending.
Chi! Chi!
Several streaks of light shot into the courtyard, and three white-haired old men appeared.
"Xiao Yun, Ying Lingxue, how dare you!" An elder with a rough face took a step forward, his voice exploding like thunder.
"Ninth Elder." Looking at the three elders, Xiao Changhe exclaimed, and his face instantly turned pale.
"Hmph!"
"Xiao Changhe, you still know that I'm the Ninth Elder? I thought you had forgotten the clan rules and treated us elders as nothing. "
"Ying Lingxue, as the daughter-in-law of the Xiao Clan, you are a member of the Xiao Clan for life. Although your husband is dead, the rules of the Xiao Clan are as such. Useless people must die." The Eighth Elder spoke gloomily, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"Changhe, I'll give you a chance. Capture the mother and son, and your sins will be forgiven!" The Seventh Elder said in a low voice.
Looking at the three elders of the Xiao Clan, Ye Xuan looked at them indifferently. From beginning to end, there were no ripples.
The mother and son were abandoned by the clan due to their low cultivation. Xiao Changhe was the backbone of the Xiao Clan, and he was the clan's resource. Naturally, they would forgive Xiao Changhe.
Although this kind of survival rule was cruel, Ye Xuan had to admit that according to this system, the clan would indeed prosper and remain in a flourishing state.
However, Ye Xuan didn't think this system would be flawless. This kind of ruthless family system had its advantages and disadvantages. If a heaven-defying monster appeared and turned against the clan, it would also be the time of the clan's annihilation.
"Brat, you're the one who killed my Xiao Clan's guards and my steward?"
The three elders looked at Ye Xuan with cold murderous intent. They had already received news that the uncle and nephew had brought back an outsider, who was obviously an expert invited by them.
However, the Xiao Clan had always been used to being strong. They didn't think that the uncle and nephew could invite any expert to go against the Xiao Clan, so they naturally didn't put Ye Xuan in their eyes.
"The people of the world are ignorant. They always think that they are the main characters of the world, but they don't know that they are just ants floating in the air."
"The stars won't revolve for a single person. Even if an ant disappears, the world will continue to revolve. This is the cruel world!"
Ye Xuan said indifferently. He was talking about the truth of the world, and also lamenting about these ignorant ants.
"Brat, I don't know what you're talking about."
"You're presumptuous in my Xiao Clan. Today, I'll take your dog life!"
The three elders shouted in unison. The aura of a Minor Saint spread out, and the whole world rumbled. It also attracted the attention of the main family of the Xiao Clan.
"How can the light of a firefly compete with the brilliance of the moon?"
Facing the terrifying killing intent of the three elders, Ye Xuan shook his head in boredom. He could kill these three ants with a flick of his finger. With his current cultivation base, it was like using a butcher's knife to kill a chicken.
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, the three elders were furious. This outsider actually dared to treat them like ants?
When they came here, they had already made preparations. If Ye Xuan was a Grand Cultivator, they would definitely appease him and never mention the matter of the mother and son.
If Ye Xuan joined the Xiao Clan, the matter of the mother and son would naturally be forgotten. However, if Ye Xuan wasn't a Grand Cultivator, they would definitely kill him and let the people of Ice River City know that the Xiao Clan wasn't a place where anyone could be presumptuous.
When the three elders arrived here, although they couldn't see through Ye Xuan's cultivation base, they could feel that Ye Xuan's aura was extremely ordinary. There wasn't the aura of a Grand Cultivator on him. Obviously, he was only a Minor Saint at most. How could the three of them be afraid of this brat?
The three of them felt relieved. Naturally, they ignored Ye Xuan and came here to question the mother and son directly.
But now, Ye Xuan actually treated them like ants. How could the three elders who had been in high positions for a long time tolerate this? Monstrous anger rose in their hearts. They must kill Ye Xuan.
"Die!"
The three elders roared. Their aura of a Minor Saint was released violently. They stomped on the ground and shot towards Ye Xuan violently. The whole Xiao Clan trembled as if it was going to collapse.
