Fighting the Supreme Realm

Chapter 158 The Origin of the Xiao Clan and the Zhen Family (4)

At this point, Xiao Yao's eyes were full of gratitude to Zhen Ni's father. After calming down his emotions, he thought about it again and then continued: "It is my request that outsiders not know that we are a subsidiary family of the Zhen family." ; it was also a decision made by me, Xiao Li, and Xiao Long to not ask for any favors from the Zhen family.

It's not that we want to get rid of the Zhen family, but because we don't want to live under the protection of the Zhen family forever as a low-ranking subordinate family. We want to find a path of continuous self-improvement and prosperity.

Regarding this, I have confessed to the head of the family, I told the head of the family that I want to use my own ability to lead the Xiao clan to rise..."

Xiao Yao smiled bitterly at himself, 'At that time, I was known as the number one genius in the empire, and I was very conceited.

When I first broke through to the late four-star stage, the owner of the family personally sent someone a piece of seven-star inner armor, but I refused. I felt that I had the ability to break through to five-star on my own.

However, the road to continuous self-improvement is so difficult. Just when I was making final preparations to survive the Five-Star Emperor Tribulation, I accidentally received the soul-eating mark of the Soul Demon Clan... I didn't know that the Soul Demon Clan knew that we were an affiliated family of the Zhen Family. Deliberately targeted, or purely accidental, in short, my path to self-improvement was cut off..."

'You all know the next thing. Therefore, the Zhen family has nothing against the Xiao family. It can only be said that the strength of the Xiao family determines that the Xiao family's status in the Zhen family cannot be high, and the people of the Xiao family are unlikely to be respected enough by the Zhen family. . However, I think that in the Dou Di Continent where strength is respected, the Zhen family is not wrong. "

‘So that’s it. ‘Now everyone has a complete understanding of the relationship between the Xiao clan and the Zhen family, and they have some understanding of the Zhen family’s attitude towards the Xiao clan.

Qing Haoran sighed: 'Yes, strength, everything must depend on strength. Miss Zhenni, the second thing I need to know is to ask you. Although your father has not had a very harmonious relationship with your uncle for some reasons over the years, and there is a bit of an emotional gap between him and you, the Xiao Mansion has important connections with the Merchant Alliance and Miss Zhen Ni. I don’t believe that he has not paid attention to the Xiao Mansion. . What I need to know is, how much does he know about Xiao Mansion? In other words, did your uncle and you ever talk or reveal the inside story of Xiao Mansion to your father? "

When Qing Haoran mentioned the emotional estrangement between her and her father, Zhen Ni's expression turned slightly gloomy. However, when Qing Haoran asked her whether she had revealed the inside story of Xiao Mansion to her father, Zhen Ni's face immediately turned bright. With a blush, she calmed down, nodded, and said: 'I told my uncle. In order to obtain the prescription of Qingling Liquid, the merchant alliance sent people out of the mansion to help Xiao Yan build the Xiao Mansion and became an ally with the Xiao Mansion. My father was very surprised. He thought it was just for some money and thought that my uncle was too... It's so condescending and I don't understand why my uncle would do this. Maybe it's because of this, maybe... maybe also because I'm in Xiao Mansion, that he pays special attention to the development of Xiao Mansion. As for me, I deliberately revealed some things about the Xiao Mansion to my uncle, with the purpose of passing them on to my father through my uncle's mouth, so as to improve the status of the Xiao Mansion in my father's mind. "

After everyone heard this, how could they not know that Zhen Ni did this so that her father would recognize Xiao Yan? They all cast meaningful glances at Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan felt moved in his heart, touched by Zhen Ni's good intentions, but when he thought about Zhen Jian, all of Zhen Ni's efforts were in vain, and he couldn't help but cast an apologetic look at Zhen Ni.

Zhen Ni gave Xiao Yan a relieved smile, turned to Qing Haoran and asked nervously: 'Demon Emperor, now that you know the two things you need to know, what decision will you make? "

Qing Haoran seemed to deliberately make Zhen Ni anxious. He did not answer Zhen Ni immediately. Instead, he sighed, "Miss Zhen Ni's intentions are really good." Then he turned his head and smiled meaningfully at Xiao Yan. , picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then looked at the anxious Zhen Ni again, and said with a smile: "If I were your father, not only would I not make any move that is detrimental to the Xiao family, but I would throw it at Xiao Yan." Olive branch, even give some benefits to Xiao Mansion, try to win over Xiao Yan. "

'ah! "

Everyone was surprised, surprised, and confused. Zhen Ni was even more overjoyed and asked with bright eyes: 'Really? Is my father really not going to vent his anger on Xiao Mansion? "

Qing Haoran shook his head with a smile on his face and said jokingly: "I finally understand what caring means, but I will be confused." Miss Zhen Ni, with your intelligence, your understanding of your father, and your judgment, you should not be unable to make this judgment! You, you are just too worried about someone, your heart is confused..."

Zhen Ni's face suddenly turned red and turned into the most beautiful cloud. She lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Qing Haoran. She glanced at Xiao Yan and then calmed down, raised her head, and said softly: "The Demon Emperor is here." Stop making fun of Jenny. Demon Emperor, Zhen Ni’s mind is a little confused, so he asked the Demon Emperor to help Zhen Ni clear up her confusion. "

'Alas, women in love are really stupid...' Qing Haoran sighed in his heart, thought about it, and said: 'Zhen Jian's dethronement is indeed a great loss to the Zhen family. , however, the Xiao Clan is a subsidiary family of the Zhen Family. Now a peerless genius has appeared in the Xiao Clan, and this peerless genius is better and more dazzling than Zhen Jian. He is definitely the number one genius among the Five-Star Fighting Emperors. , although this peerless genius is not named Zhen, he belongs to the Zhen family after all. In other words, when Xiao Yan abolished Zhen Jian, one peerless genius of the Zhen family abolished another peerless genius of the Zhen family. You said, if you were your father, would you go to war against the Xiao Mansion out of anger and kill Xiao Yan to vent your anger for Zhen Jian, who has been crippled? "

Zhen Ni was enlightened and her eyes suddenly brightened: Yes, the Xiao clan is a subsidiary clan of the Zhen family, so Xiao Yan is the peerless genius of the Zhen family! Why didn't I consider this?

Seeing Zhen Ni, Xiao Yao and everyone suddenly showing joy, only Xiao Yan didn't take it too seriously. Qing Haoran continued: "With your father's shrewdness, after knowing the rapid development of Xiao Mansion, it is impossible not to think of Xiao Yan." Sooner or later, the clan will develop into a big force. Any weak family, after gaining the strength to compete with the big force it is affiliated with, will break away from being affiliated with that big force and become independent. There are countless such examples in the Dou Emperor Continent. Since he will not take retaliatory action against the Xiao family, will your father show favor to the Xiao family again after the Xiao family becomes a powerful force? 'Qing Haoran's tone suddenly became more serious, 'No! He knows very well the difference between adding icing on the cake and providing help in times of need. Therefore, no matter how low the Xiao Clan's status was in the eyes of the Zhen family, just to win over the Xiao Clan and Xiao Yanyan, he will pay special attention to the Xiao Clan, and will definitely provide help when the Xiao Clan is still developing. When he was young, he showed goodwill to the Xiao Clan and even gave the Xiao Clan some support! But now, it is such a time, and it happens that Xiao Yan has abolished Zhen Jian. Instead of pursuing the Xiao Clan, he shows his favor to the Xiao Clan. It is difficult for the Xiao Clan not to accept it! "

'Wow! "

Everyone was overjoyed, and Qing Muer even jumped up with joy: 'So, is it right for the little liar to abolish Zhenjian? Brother, tell me, what kind of support will the Zhen family give to the Xiao clan? "

Qing Haoran smiled angrily and said: 'How did I know this? However, it should be what the Xiao clan needs most right now. There is no point in giving them what the Xiao clan doesn't need. "

What does the Xiao clan need most right now? What does the Xiao clan need now? It seems like there is nothing missing!

Zhen Ni, who was no longer worried, regained her shrewdness, her eyes moved, and she blurted out: 'Earthly? A good piece of territory? "

Everyone's eyes brightened, and Xiao Yan's heart also moved. Yes, what the Xiao clan needs most right now is a good piece of territory.

Le Shaolong said ecstatically: 'Haha, a bad thing has turned into a good thing. In this way, the rise of the Xiao clan will be faster! ’ But when he saw that Xiao Yan was not happy, he immediately understood what Xiao Yan was worried about, and couldn’t help but worry, ‘It’s just that there is no free lunch in the world. The Zhen family has given these benefits to the Xiao clan, and they will definitely ask the Xiao clan to make it public. As the Zhen family is affiliated with the family and has certain restrictions on the Xiao clan, it will be difficult for the Xiao clan to be as independent as before. I am worried that Young Master Xiao may not be happy with it. "

Le Shaolong's words made everyone turn their attention to Xiao Yan.

Zhen Ni was even more happy and secretly sweating. She knows Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan usually seems easy-going and even a little dull, but he is extremely stubborn by nature and has no sense of belonging to the Zhen family. If Xiao Yan thinks this is another form of threat from the Zhen family and refuses to accept it, Xiao Yan will The relationship between the Zhen family and the Zhen family will directly face breakdown, and the possibility of her and Xiao Yan getting together will become extremely slim. She is very afraid that Xiao Yan will say no. But she didn't show any expectations in her expression. She knew that Xiao Yan must be very entangled at this time. She hoped that Xiao Yan could make a decision after careful consideration and weighing. At the same time, she also wanted to see what she thought about Xiao Yan's heart. How much does it weigh?

It has to be said that Zhen Ni really understands Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan is indeed in extreme tangle at this time, and it is almost exactly the same as what Zhen Ni thinks——

‘If the Zhen family extends an olive branch to me, it may seem like it will help the Xiao family’s rise, but in fact it is a disguised threat. The Zhen sword incident will threaten our existence as a subsidiary family of the Zhen family forever.

'But I don't have any sense of belonging to the Zhen family. If it weren't for Zhen Ni, I don't even feel that I have the slightest relationship with the Zhen family. Why should I be attached to the Zhen family? Just because I'm afraid that if I don't accept it, the face of the Zhen Family Patriarch will be disgraced. Will the Zhen Family Patriarch turn to swordsmanship with the Xiao Mansion in a rage? Damn it, am I, Xiao Yan, someone who is afraid of getting into trouble? As long as the Xiao Mansion has some more development time, who is afraid and who doesn’t know yet!

'But... if I don't accept it, Zhen Ni's father will definitely hate me to death, and it will be difficult for Zhen Ni and I to get together, and I will lose all of Zhen Ni's affection for me... How should I choose? "

For a long time, Xiao Yan did not make a decision. He raised his eyes with difficulty and asked feebly: 'I would like to ask everyone to help me analyze. What will be the consequences if I reject the olive branch offered by the Zhen family? "

Zhen Ni secretly thought, 'Sure enough,' and her heart suddenly tightened.

Qing Haoran immediately responded: "I think Zhen Zongfu will feel a great loss of face. To put it harshly, he will think that you are shameless and will be angry." But it is not enough to go to war with the Xiao clan. After all, it will be very unpleasant to say that you have failed to win over and go to war. Besides, Zhen Bufan, the leader of the Merchant Alliance, will definitely mediate for you, and Miss Zhen Ni is also in the Xiao Mansion. "

Zhen Ni shook her head bitterly, 'My presence here won't make much difference. At most, it is the smallest factor that my father will consider. ' She crossed her arms nervously, tapping her arms lightly with her jade fingers, thinking as she said, 'However, what the Demon Emperor said is very reasonable. It is unlikely that he will take action against the Xiao Mansion, but my father will definitely do it. Put forward conditions that require me to completely break away from... the Xiao Mansion and return to the Merchant Alliance, and sever all contact with the Xiao Mansion from now on..."

As soon as Zhen Ni said this, everyone's expressions suddenly became solemn, and they were all worried about what Xiao Yan would decide. (To be continued.!)
