Chapter 94 Apology
The Xiao family.
Xiao Wuyan carried his son back and went straight to the back mountain of the Xiao family.
"Ancestor, save me!"
"What's going on?" Xiao Jinhe appeared, frowning.
Xiao Wuyan recounted everything that had happened to the Qin family.
"It seems his strength is at the level of a terrestrial immortal." Xiao Jinhe's expression was solemn. The reason he let Hu Yanjue make the first move was mainly to test Qin Chuan's true strength.
In retrospect, the sword's slicing of the nuclear missile was definitely not just good luck.
"Ancestor, save Jinxiu!" Xiao Wuyan pleaded.
Xiao Jinhe glanced at him and slowly placed his palm on Xiao Jinxiu's chest. Only a few seconds later, the chilling aura emanated from Xiao Wuyan's chest and spread to Xiao Jinhe's palm.
"What a chill!" Xiao Jinhe quickly withdrew his hand, his expression somewhat unpleasant.
"Ancestor, could it be... that even you can't save Jinxiu?" Xiao Wuyan exclaimed in shock.
"The one who tied the knot must untie it," Xiao Jinhe said calmly.
"Ancestor, please make a move!" Xiao Wuyan said.
Xiao Jinhe waved his hand: "Although I can't save him, I can prevent this chill from being fatal."
As soon as he finished speaking, a lotus flower formed from condensed energy appeared in his palm, followed by flames, which were then sent into Xiao Jinxiu's body.
Xiao Jinxiu's skin was originally covered in frost, which was very uncomfortable, but as the fire lotus flower entered, the frost melted away, and his complexion returned to its rosy hue.
"Thank you, Ancestor!" Xiao Wuyan expressed his gratitude.
"Dad, Ancestor..." Xiao Jinxiu coughed twice and said very respectfully.
"It's only been suppressed for now. I'll help you suppress it once a month when you come here. Also, you can't use your internal energy anymore," Xiao Jinhe said.
"Ancestor, why did I kill Qin Chuan to take revenge!" Xiao Jinxiu said viciously.
He now wishes he could tear Qin Chuan to pieces.
"You may leave now. I have my own plans." Xiao Jinhe waved his hand.
Xiao Jinxiu wanted to say something more, but Xiao Wuyan pulled him back to the Xiao family hall.
"Dad, what does the ancestor mean by this?" Xiao Jinxiu asked, somewhat puzzled.
"The patriarch has his own plans," Xiao Wuyan shook his head. "You shouldn't ask any more questions."
"Should the ancestor make a move or not?" Xiao Jinxiu was confused.
"This..." Xiao Wuyan didn't quite understand either. "We can only wait. Besides, the coldness in your body has been suppressed now. Just don't fight with anyone anymore."
"If I can't use my internal energy, then I'm practically a cripple!" Xiao Jinxiu said unwillingly.
"Jinxiu, you haven't reached the Grandmaster level yet. Whether you can use internal energy or not doesn't make much difference to you. Just focus on recovering from your injuries," Xiao Wuyan sighed.
He knew perfectly well what his ancestor meant and had no intention of making a move.
Ultimately, it's because Xiao Jinxiu wasn't influential enough.
Although Xiao Jinxiu was his own son, his martial arts talent was too low, and he was not worthy of the old ancestor's attention.
The patriarch cared more about the Xiao family than its members. To put it bluntly, the two were separated by several generations and had no real affection for each other.
Once a martial artist reaches the level of a terrestrial immortal, their lifespan will be extended, and living to over a hundred years old is not a problem.
Therefore, those Nascent Soul cultivators at the peak of the eighth realm still have to endure until the Xiao family patriarch dies.
"Dad, is the Ancestor not planning to take action?" Xiao Jinxiu's expression changed slightly.
"Don't question the Ancestor." Xiao Wuyan glared at Xiao Jinxiu. "Whether the Ancestor intervenes or not, he has his own plans. Besides, you're just a junior member of the Xiao family; you're not qualified to make the Ancestor take action!"
Xiao Jinxiu immediately understood what was going on. Although his father had put it in a very subtle way, how could he not understand?
The ancestor never intended to make a move!
"Dad, am I really that insignificant in Grandfather's eyes?"
Xiao Wuyan patted his shoulder: "Take good care of your injuries."
"But if the patriarch doesn't take action, wouldn't my Xiao family become a laughing stock?" Xiao Jinxiu said in a deep voice.
Xiao Wuyan remained silent.
"The Dragon Kingdom only allows one terrestrial immortal. If the ancestor doesn't kill him, why would he keep him around for the New Year?" Xiao Jinxiu continued.
"Sigh!" Xiao Wuyan sighed again. "Jinxiu, you don't understand. You are just a martial artist at the third realm. When you step into a higher realm, you will cherish your life more than anyone else."
"Once you reach that level, perhaps you'll be pursuing something else entirely."
"Other things?" Xiao Jinxiu didn't quite understand.
"Immortality!" Xiao Wuyan uttered two words.
As the patriarch of the Xiao family, Xiao Jinhe's strength is undoubtedly the greatest in the Dragon Kingdom.
Perhaps those at a lower level in the Xiao family would risk their lives for the sake of the Xiao family's reputation, showing incredible backbone, but that's a mindset of the lower class.
For martial artists who have reached a high level, nothing is more important than their own lives.
Now, the ancestor is facing a land-based deity who can slay nuclear missiles with his sword. How could he possibly make a move without absolute certainty?
Absolutely impossible!
Therefore, even if Xiao Jinxiu were killed, or even if the entire Xiao family were wiped out, the patriarch would still not take action until he was certain of success.
Because as long as the patriarch is alive, the Xiao family will not be destroyed!
Xiao Wuyan remained silent, sitting quietly in his chair. His son was now completely ruined.
Xiao Jinxiu seemed to understand something and stopped talking.
The hall fell silent for a moment.
Without the patriarch's intervention, they have no chance of revenge unless Qin Chuan comes knocking on their door.
As the head of the Xiao family, Xiao Wuyan was not qualified to have the patriarch take action.
Da da da……
Just then, footsteps were heard.
The butler entered and said respectfully, "Master, someone from the Qin family has arrived."
"What?!" Xiao Wuyan suddenly stood up, instinctively thinking that Qin Chuan had come to kill him.
"He...he...he's going to kill me, Xiao?" Xiao Jinxiu exclaimed in surprise.
Five minutes later.
Xiao Wuyan looked at the Qin family group with a strange expression.
It turns out they didn't come to kill us, they came to apologize.
"Patriarch Xiao, Qin Chuan's actions have absolutely nothing to do with our Qin family. His lineage had already severed ties with us. When he returned this time, I arranged for him to stay in the storage room, and even gave him a corner seat at the annual meeting. Moreover, before you came to attend the annual meeting, I had him expelled from the Qin family, so that we have no further connection!"
Qin De spoke sincerely and explained the matter in great detail, as if afraid that Xiao Wuyan might miss some details.
"Yes, Patriarch Xiao, that ingrate has nothing to do with us anymore!"
"Offending the Xiao family means he'll have no place in the martial arts world anymore!"
"That idiot, does he really think he can do whatever he wants just because he's made a name for himself in cultivation?"
Qin Chengwen and Qin Chengwu, along with their children, also came to apologize.
This also shows sincerity.
However, neither Xiao Wuyan nor Xiao Jinxiu could understand it.
Is the Qin family cutting ties with a terrestrial deity?
