Chapter 64: I Will Definitely Help You Take Good Care of Yaoniang

Xiao Ruoyu's face turned beet red in an instant; this little girl, she was actually using me as the topic!

"Pah! You stinky girl, what nonsense are you spouting?" Xiao Ruoyu's face flushed with shame, and she raised her hand to strike Xia Qingxue.

Xia Qingxue had been on guard and hurriedly dodged, giggling: "Sister Ruoyu, don't be shy. Men and women falling in love, what's the big deal? Besides, husband is so capable."

"Enough, stop talking!" Xiao Ruoyu's chest heaved violently from anger, and she let out a delicate shout.

"Haha, I'll stop."

Seeing Xiao Ruoyu so bashful, Xia Qingxue laughed until she trembled; she hadn't felt this way in a long time, and it made her feel incredibly fresh and stimulated.

——————

One day later.

Xiao Family, Great Council Hall.

The place was packed, the atmosphere solemn.

Hundreds of high-ranking members of the Xiao Family were gathered here.

This was a discussion regarding Xiao Ruoyu recuperating at the Su Family.

"Father, Sister is taking advantage of her time recuperating at the Su Family to get cozy with the Young Master of the Su Family, Su Chen. Why won't you believe it?"

Xiao Tiancheng sat upright below, his brows tightly furrowed, looking somewhat resentful.

The high-ranking members of the Xiao Family who supported Xiao Tiancheng also chimed in one after another, believing that Xiao Ruoyu was simply bringing shame upon the Xiao Family.

"Enough!"

Xiao Hanshan slammed his hand against the armrest, roared in anger, interrupted everyone, and said in a deep voice: "I believe in Ruoyu!"

Hearing this, Xiao Tiancheng's brows locked tight, and his heart grew even more anxious; this discussion was originally intended to make his father change his mind and appoint him as the Young Master of the Xiao Family.

But looking at Xiao Hanshan's reaction, it was clear he was dead set on supporting Xiao Ruoyu.

"Father, you are muddled!"

Xiao Tiancheng hurriedly tried to dissuade him, his expression stern: "Our Xiao Family has always been suppressed by the Su Family, and now we are already on the verge of collapse. We should not foolishly pin our hopes on Su Chen."

"Furthermore, the Su Family is powerful now. If our Xiao Family doesn't react, what awaits us will be the ruthless butcher's knife of the Su Family!"

Xiao Tiancheng urged him with earnest, heartfelt words.

Unfortunately, the more he urged, the more irritable Xiao Hanshan became; hearing this, he directly rebuked: "Hmph! My Xiao Family has never feared his Su Family!"

Watching his father's agitated state, Xiao Tiancheng felt a headache coming on.

He did not know his own true identity; if he had, he wouldn't have found Xiao Hanshan's reaction so strange.

After all, he was not Xiao Hanshan's own flesh and blood; even if Xiao Hanshan died, he would never pass the position of Young Master of the Xiao Family to him.

Xiao Tiancheng felt a pang of pain in his heart. Thinking of what Su Yong had said to him that morning, he immediately hardened his heart and gave a signal to the thirty-plus people at the table.

Bang~

He stood up, grabbed his chair, and smashed it heavily onto the wooden table, sending wood splinters flying everywhere.

"You unfilial son, what are you doing!?"

Xiao Hanshan's expression changed drastically as he looked at Xiao Tiancheng and roared.

"Old thing, I've endured you for a long time. Why is it that even though I am clearly the eldest son of the Xiao Family, you always favor that slut Xiao Ruoyu?"

Xiao Tiancheng's expression was ferocious, his eyes bloodshot, and he yelled hysterically.

From childhood to adulthood, he had been suppressed by Xiao Ruoyu everywhere. No matter how excellent he was, in Xiao Hanshan's eyes, he just couldn't compare to Xiao Ruoyu.

Now, he could no longer hold back; he tore off his disguise and bared his ferocious fangs.

Just as Su Yong said, since they wouldn't give it to him, he would take back everything that belonged to him in his own way.

"You unfilial son, have you gone mad?"

Seeing Xiao Tiancheng actually defying him in the hall, Xiao Hanshan was furious and barked at the guards beside him: "What are you still standing there for? Quickly, bind this unfilial son!"

Swish, swish, swish!

Upon hearing this, those Xiao Family guards hurriedly flew over, attempting to restrain Xiao Tiancheng.

"Hmph! I'd like to see who dares to touch me."

Xiao Tiancheng flicked his sleeve, and thirty-plus high-ranking members of the Xiao Family stepped out from beside him.

Boom~

In an instant, a powerful aura erupted, sweeping through the entire hall, causing all the Xiao Family guards present to collapse, trembling in fear.

The auras of over twenty experts in the Great Saint Realm, combined with three powerhouses in the Quasi-Emperor Realm, condensed into one, forming a massive wave of pressure that distorted the very space of the council hall.

"This..."

Seeing the scene before them, the remaining high-ranking members of the Xiao Family present, including Xiao Hanshan, were all stunned, their faces showing expressions of extreme shock.

"You are... rebelling!"

After a long while, an old man struggled to open his mouth and stammered out these words.

Hiss~

Once these words were spoken, the entire hall fell silent!

Everyone's faces were filled with horror, and the looks they cast at Xiao Tiancheng were filled with a trace of fear.

Before this, no one had imagined that Xiao Tiancheng had secretly bought off so many core members.

Moreover, looking at the current situation, this was clearly a move to usurp power!

Thinking of this, everyone's hearts pounded wildly, as if they had suffered a massive shock, and their breathing became rapid.

"Old thing, I told you long ago that I am the most suitable candidate for Young Master. Only I can lead the Xiao Family to glory."

Seeing the shocked looks of the crowd, a look of triumph appeared on Xiao Tiancheng's face, and he said haughtily: "Old thing, obediently hand over the Head of Family Order. For the sake of our father-son relationship, I won't make things too difficult for you."

Having said this, he paused, his tone turning sinister: "Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

At this very moment, he felt extremely excited inside.

As long as he obtained the Head of Family Order, he would possess the qualification to absolutely control the overall situation, and could even directly ascend to the position of Head of the Family.

When that time came, he would crush Su Chen like an ant and replace him to become the number one noble family of the Donghua Continent.

Hearing these words, Xiao Hanshan's expression shifted between light and shadow; after a moment, he let out a long sigh and slowly said, "Since you insist on contending for it, then have it your way."

Once these words were spoken, the entire hall fell into silence.

Everyone stared at him in a daze.

Was Xiao Hanshan agreeing to let Xiao Tiancheng succeed to the position of Head of the Family?

In an instant, countless pairs of eyes were fixed on Xiao Hanshan, as if wanting to see what exactly he meant.

"Old thing, you... what did you say?!" Xiao Tiancheng looked stunned.

He had originally thought that Xiao Hanshan would immediately resist with his life, but he never imagined that it would just be a light, airy sentence; what on earth did this mean?

Xiao Hanshan glanced at him with contempt and said indifferently, "The Head of Family Order is right inside my body; if you want to take it, then come and get it!"

"Old thing, you are courting death!"

Seeing Xiao Hanshan toying with him, Xiao Tiancheng finally could not hold back, his expression becoming incomparably ferocious as he said, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you take good care of Youniang!"

Youniang was Xiao Hanshan's youngest concubine and Xiao Tiancheng's affair partner.

"Beast, wicked obstacle, I am going to kill you!"

Xiao Hanshan was thoroughly enraged; he slammed his palm upward and blasted it toward Xiao Tiancheng.

The aura of the Quasi-Emperor Peak Realm burst forth completely, and this palm strike from Xiao Hanshan carried destructive power.

He was determined to kill this bastard Xiao Tiancheng in one blow!

"Bang~"

A black shadow blocked the path in front of Xiao Tiancheng and collided with Xiao Hanshan's palm, and then both of them retreated several dozen meters.
