At the same time that Xiao Yan's group entered the large hall, on the other side, Xiao Mingyuan walked out of the hall and headed east. Along the way, he passed by quite a number of pavilions and buildings until he reached a street where he saw two human figures swiftly rushing over from a distance. Only then did he gently raise his eyebrows, slowly paused his footsteps and quietly stood where he was.
Very quickly, two human figures approached from afar and arrived in front of Xiao Mingyuan. The two human figures, who originally wanted to rush past this place at top speed, lowered their bodies to the ground because of the latter. Their faces revealed respectful expressions.
The two figures were a young man and a middle-aged man. After leaving Xiao Chuhang's place, they headed west and headed straight to the main hall of the Xiao Clan. If they didn't see Xiao Mingyuan at this moment, they might not have stopped here.
"Third Elder!"
When they saw Xiao Mingyuan, the two of them hurriedly went forward and bowed respectfully.
"Xiao Feng, what happened? From the looks of it, are you going to meet the Patriarch?"
Xiao Mingyuan nodded slightly and said as if he didn't know.
"I heard that one of the two outsiders that Third Elder found a few years ago has returned to the clan today and even alarmed many elders. As the heir of the Xiao Clan, I should go and take a look."
Hearing this, the young man chuckled. When he lowered his head, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Haha, your brother was seriously injured in Xiao City. Instead of taking care of him, you actually care about an outsider. Xiao Feng, this isn't your style."
Xiao Mingyuan smiled indifferently. Looking at the gloomy face of the latter, he slowly shook his head and said again, "I originally wanted to find you.
"This old man originally wanted to look for you. However, since I've bumped into you here, it'll save me the trouble of making an extra trip. I've only come here to pass on a message to you. Listen well."
"Pass a message?"
Xiao Feng frowned and raised his head to look at the person in front of him. There weren't many people in the Xiao Clan who could order him to pass a message.
Ignoring the change in Xiao Feng's expression, Xiao Mingyuan's face turned serious and said in a dignified tone,
"From today onwards, Xiao Chuhang will be grounded in the clan for half a year. All of his monthly allowance will be deducted. During this period, he is not allowed to leave the clan and is not allowed to cause trouble. Anyone who violates any of these rules will be punished according to the clan rules."
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Feng's gloomy face instantly changed. His emotions also became somewhat agitated. He stared at Xiao Mingyuan in front of him and said unwillingly,
"What is the meaning of this, Third Elder? It was clearly Xiao Yan who injured my brother. Why is he the one being punished instead? This is unfair!"
"Fair? No one is allowed to fight within Xiao City, this is the clan's rule. Xiao Chuhang ignored the clan's rules and broke the rules knowingly, this is the first reason. He attacked first, and if he can't defeat his opponent, this is the second reason. Do you need this old man to say anything else? "
Xiao Mingyuan's face was expressionless as he spoke with an indifferent tone.
"But … but without monthly allowance and not leaving the clan for half a year, Chuhang … he …"
"Being the second young master of the Xiao clan, he has been fooling around for a long time. Usually, I am too lazy to bother about him on your account. This time around, something has happened to him. This can be considered a lesson. Let him properly reflect on himself during this half a year. As for Xiao Yan, it is best that you forget about finding trouble with him."
Xiao Mingyuan raised his hand slightly and interrupted Xiao Feng's words. Just as the latter was about to refute, he changed the topic and said sternly,
"Xiao Feng, this old man hopes that you can understand that these words are not passed down to you by the patriarch, nor is it the Great Elder. If you continue to be so stubborn, don't blame this old man for being merciless!"
As soon as Xiao Mingyuan's words fell, the words that were about to come out of Xiao Mingyuan's mouth suddenly became sluggish. At the same time, he seemed to have understood something in an instant. The muscles at the corner of his eyes twitched slightly for a while. After a while, he gritted his teeth and endured the anger in his heart. He trembled and took a deep breath, slowly bent down and said unwillingly,
"Xiao Feng understands!"
"I hope you really understand."
Xiao Mingyuan frowned and said indifferently. Soon after, Xiao Mingyuan flew in the direction he came from. Behind him, Xiao Feng looked at Xiao Mingyuan's departing figure. The fists under his sleeves couldn't help but slowly clench. The expression on his face became even more gloomy.
"Xiao Yan … don't even think about entering my Xiao Clan!"
"Young Master, don't be rash. The Third Elder has said it clearly. If you look for Xiao Yan now, I'm afraid that even you won't be able to avoid punishment!"
Seeing Xiao Feng in such a state, the middle-aged man couldn't help but dissuade him in a low voice.
"Humph, you go back and guard Chu Hang. I will personally deal with this matter. You've injured my younger brother and caused him to be punished. How could this matter be so easily forgotten?"
"But …"
"Go ahead. I know what to do."
Without waiting for the middle-aged man to speak, Xiao Feng said in an indifferent tone. Soon after, he stomped his foot on the ground and a force burst out from under his feet. As the bluestone shattered, his figure also flew forward and disappeared at the end of the street in the blink of an eye.
Looking at the figure that sped away like lightning, the middle-aged man frowned and hesitated for a moment. Only then did he helplessly shake his head. With a soft sigh, he turned around and quickly flew in the direction he came from.
.....
On the other side, Xiao Yan and Xiao Mingyuan retreated from the hall. Although Xiao Yuheng had said a lot during this period of time, Xiao Yan didn't have the slightest intention of wavering. Currently, he didn't have a good impression of the Xiao Clan. If Xiao Xuan wasn't here, he would have turned around and left long ago. Why would he continue to stay here?
The two of them retreated from the hall one after another and immediately met Xiao Mingyuan, who had returned.
"Haha, how was it? Did the little fellow agree to return to the clan?"
Seeing the two of them, Xiao Mingyuan's gaze immediately landed on Xiao Yan and said with a smile.
Now that Xiao Yan had returned, his mission could be considered to have been more than half completed. As long as the former was willing to join the Xiao Clan and become a member of the Xiao Clan, it would be a good thing for both him and Xiao Yan.
"I'm sorry. I'm afraid I've disappointed Third Elder."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan lowered his eyebrows and slowly said.
"Uh …"
Xiao Mingyuan was slightly startled. He didn't expect such an outcome. After hesitating for a moment, he changed his tone and said with a smile, "It's fine.
After all, you have just returned. It's understandable that you're not used to it. After a while, the First Elder is still in seclusion. When he comes out, he might meet you. We'll talk about everything when the time comes. "
Xiao Yan smiled and nodded as a response. Xiao Xuan by the side also had a respectful expression. However, Xiao Mingyuan didn't pay much attention to Xiao Xuan before. At this moment, when he looked at Xiao Xuan again, he vaguely felt that there was something different. The latter, who had always kept a low profile, actually had a hidden sharpness …
Xiao Mingyuan frowned slightly. While he was feeling surprised in his heart, a rushing wind sound was suddenly transmitted from behind the few of them. Soon after, a human figure appeared in front of the three of them in the blink of an eye. A sharp wind instantly bullied Xiao Yan and Xiao Mingyuan. Immediately, the expressions on the faces of the both of them changed slightly.
The old man frowned and turned around. Seeing the figure that had already appeared in front of him, his frown deepened as he said in a serious voice,
"Xiao Feng, was what I said earlier not clear enough?"
