Chapter 158: The Origin of the Xiao clan and the Zhen family (III)
When Zhen Ni asked Zhen Jian, Xiao Yan's eyes immediately became a little dodged. He opened his mouth but didn't say anything.
Xiao Yan's expression made Zhen Ni's heart even more nervous. She stared at Xiao Yan, her beautiful eyes with a worried look on her face. Everyone also noticed that Xiao Yan's eyes dodged, and they became worried about Xiao Yan, hoping that what she said from Xiao Yan would not be Zhen Jian dead in the blood cave of killing, nor did he kill Zhen Jian.
In fact, the reason why Xiao Yan never mentioned Zhen Jian was not because he forgot it, but because he didn't know how to tell Zhen Ni. No matter what, Zhen Jian was Zhen Ni's clan brother after all, and a peerless genius who had not met in the Zhen family for tens of thousands of years, but now he was abandoned in his hands. He was worried that Zhen Ni would not accept it.
After pondering for a while, Xiao Yan finally looked directly at Zhen Ni and replied: "I have had contact." Although the voice is soft, it cannot hide the uneasiness.
As soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking, Zhen Ni looked at Xiao Yan nervously and asked repeatedly: ‘How is it? How is Zhen Jian?”
Xiao Yan blinked and hesitated: 'I fought with Zhen Jian, Zhen Jian was defeated, and the sword heart was destroyed..."
Le Shaolong asked in surprise: 'The sword heart is destroyed? So, is Zhen Jian disabled?"
Seeing Xiao Yan nodding, Xiao Yao's face suddenly turned pale, and he was nervous and did not dare to look at Zhen Ni; Zhen Ni's pretty face also stood tall and her eyebrows frowned.
Seeing Zhen Ni's face getting colder, Long Yi hurriedly said, 'Sister Zhen Ni... Oh no, Aunt Zhen Ni, you don't know the situation at that time. Dad was already very tolerant, but Zhen Jian had to kill Dad..."
So that's it. Long Yi's explanation made everyone who was worried about Xiao Yan breathe a sigh of relief, and Zhen Ni's calm face also relieved a little.
Xiao Yan said apologetically: 'Zhen Jian was aggressive and he was ruthless, I had to take action..."
‘Stop talking.’ Zhen Ni raised her hand and interrupted Xiao Yan, ‘I know, my clan brother must have treated you for my reasons… I have to thank you even more. If it weren’t for my sake, Zhen Jian would not even have a chance to survive under you. It is your greatest favor to him. However, Zhen Jian is a peerless genius of the Zhen family and even the entire human race. If he was deposed by you, he would definitely cause a great shock in the Zhen family. I am worried that my father would be furious and be unfavorable to the Xiao family…”
As soon as this worry came out, Xiao Yao, who was already worried about it, suddenly burst into cold sweat. He felt nervous as if his heart was suppressed by an invisible stone. He asked urgently: "What is the eldest lady's meaning...will the head of the family attack the Xiao Mansion in anger?"
Le Shaolong and others suddenly changed their complexion because the shadow of the Zhen family might be shrouded by the shadow of the super power. They did not notice the details of Xiao Yao calling Zhen Ni's father the head of the family, but there was no trace of smile on the corner of Qing Haoran's mouth.
Zhen Ni nodded worriedly and shook her head, "I can't say... My father is very concerned about face. For the hatred between the younger generations, and the hatred formed in the blood cave of killing, which is based on his ability, it is not a glorious thing to fight against the Xiao clan. But my father is a person who values prestige very much. The peerless genius in the clan has been deprived. He endured this tone, which may greatly affect his prestige in his subordinates' hearts. So, I really can't say... In his position, many ideas are not something we can guess."
Zhen Ni's words made everyone's hearts go up and down. Le Shaolong frowned, his eyes fell on Qing Haoran, and said, "Demon Emperor, you are the Demon Emperor, Zhen Ni's father is the Human Emperor. I think you are the one who has the most say in this issue here. Can you talk from the perspective of the Emperor of the Clan? What would you do if you encounter this matter?"
‘Yes, yes, yes, Demon King, please tell me quickly so that we can have a clear idea in our hearts.”
Xiao Yao was anxious and looked at Qing Haoran with a eager look.
Zhen Ni and others also looked at Qing Haoran with helpless eyes. Only Xiao Yan was looking at Qing Haoran nervously without any uneasiness, but seemed to be thinking about something.
Qing Haoran actually kept thinking about how Zhen Ni's father would deal with this matter. After hearing Le Shaolong and Xiao Yao asked, he pondered for a moment and said: 'In our position, many times he had no choice but to think about it. He needed to consider the pros and cons of all aspects, and do whatever he would benefit the family or the entire race. He would never rely on his own likes and dislikes or the emotions of his subordinates. In short, the overall situation is the priority."
Zhen Ni asked tightly: 'Then in your opinion, how would my father judge the pros and cons in Zhen Jian's matter?"
Xiao Yao also asked anxiously: 'Yes, Demon Emperor, if... if... if you were the head of the family... Miss, I'm just an example... If Demon Emperor, you are the head of the Zhen family, what decision would you make?"
‘Haha, don’t worry, you two, things may not be as bad as you are worried about.’ Qing Haoran comforted Zhen Ni and Xiao Yao, and then said apologetically to Zhen Ni, Miss Zhen Ni, I have no intention of disrespect for you or slandering your father’ and then continued, ‘Then I assume I am the head of the Zhen family Zhen Zongfu. I understand Zhen Zongfu, calm, not impulsive, very cunning, very scheming, and very opinionated; let go of small things
He is powered by his subordinates, but he is arbitrary in major matters; he is worthy of kindness and power to his subordinates, but he is extremely cruel in his actions; within the human race, everything is putting the interests of the Zhen family first, outside, everything is putting the interests of the human race first, but he has the overall situation and will make concessions for the overall situation. He is definitely a personal hero and competent human emperor. If I were him, I would definitely seek the opinions of the elders in the family before making a decision, but more of it is to comprehensively consider other factors."
Speaking of this, Qing Haoran stopped, looked at Xiao Yao and Zhen Ni, and then said, "I need to know two things. Let me ask the first thing first. The old patriarch, how dare you ask if the Xiao clan is a branch of the Zhen family? Or an affiliated family?"
Qing Haoran asked this question. Except for Xiao Yan, Xiao Yao and Zhen Ni, the others' minds became blank when they were immediately neutral, and their eyes were all looking at Xiao Yao and Zhen Ni.
The surprised Xiao Yao threw an inquiry look at Xiao Yan, and then smiled bitterly as Xiao Yan shook his head first and nodded, and then answered Qing Haoran: 'Yes, the Xiao clan is indeed an affiliated family of the Zhen family. But I am very strange. The Zhen family and my Xiao clan have never disclosed this to the public. I am the only one in the Xiao clan. Xiao Li, Xiao Long and Xiao Yan know, how did the Demon Emperor know?"
Qing Haoran smiled, 'I guessed it from the old patriarch's attitude towards Miss Zhen Ni. You are more respectful to Miss Zhen Ni, the junior, than to me, the Demon Emperor. Will your relationship be thought-provoking? However, this is just a guess, and I have never been sure. It was not until the old patriarch called Zhen Zongfu the head of the family, not the head of the Zhen family, nor the Human Emperor that I basically affirmed my guess."
‘So that’s it. The Demon Emperor is really insightful.’ Xiao Yao scratched the back of his head and secretly glanced at the reactions of Le Shaolong and others uneasily.
At this moment, Qing Muer raised anger for the Xiao clan: ‘Hmph! What kind of family is this affiliated? Since I met the little liar, the Xiao clan has faced the danger of extermination twice. He has not seen the Zhen family rescue him once, and he didn’t even say a word afterwards, let alone avenge the Xiao clan. Even the old clan leader had to work hard to break through the five stars..."
'shut up!"
Qing Haoran stopped Qing Mu'er by shouting loudly, and then apologized to Zhen Ni, "Must Zhen Ni, don't take it to your heart."
Zhen Ni smiled distractedly, 'What Sister Mu'er said is true. But as a member of the Zhen family, it is not convenient for me to say more about it."
Xiao Yao hurriedly explained to Qing Haoran and Qing Muer to Xiao Yan, Le Shaolong and others: 'This cannot be blamed on the head of the family. When I first arrived at the Doudi Continent, I took Xiao Li, Xiao Long and others to join the Zhen family. We especially wanted to own a home of the Xiao clan, but with our strength that was so low that it could not be more humble at that time, this was simply impossible."
Xiao Yao fell into memories of the past-
