Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 1168 1169: All-Out Intimidation

Xiao Tianyu sat beside them, seemingly aware of something. Previously, Xiao Tianyu sensed that Xiao Xin was intentionally hiding something from him and not allowing Xiao Feng to reveal it. In Xiao Tianyu's view, this was probably the matter.

However, Xiao Tianyu was not surprised. A woman like Xiao Xin, as beautiful as a flower and gentle and considerate, would naturally incite covetousness in others, otherwise, it would be abnormal.

However, Xiao Tianyu sat there without interrupting.

At this moment, Xiao Zhenshan spoke, "Xiao Zhan, what do you mean by this?"

"Brother, don't be angry; I'm really doing this for the good of the Xiao Family!" Xiao Zhan sat down, drank a cup of wine, and continued, "The City Lord's son, Mu Xie, has favored Xiao Xin for a long time, as you know. Any woman that Mu Xie sets his eyes on never escapes his grasp..."

"So you agreed?" Xiao Zhenshan interrupted Xiao Zhan, saying, "Everyone knows the kind of person Mu Xie is; not only is he lustful, but he is extremely perverted. The Female Control Technique of the Mu Family is wicked to the extreme. In these years, how many women who have been in the hands of the Mu Family have survived? And yet you, Xiao Zhan, made a decision on your own; do you not see me, the Clan Leader, in your eyes?"

While speaking, Xiao Zhenshan's face showed a look of anger.

"Brother, do you think refusing will work? This would only implicate the entire Xiao Family. Your granddaughter is human, but aren't Xiao Family disciples also human? Do they deserve to be implicated by your granddaughter?"

"Do you mean we have to sacrifice Xin'Er?" Xiao Zhenshan asked.

"If the Xiao Family takes the initiative to curry favor with the Mu Family and offers Xiao Xin, it will be beneficial for the Xiao Family with no disadvantages. Moreover, these days I've been running around for this matter until my legs broke, all for the entire Xiao Family. Besides, the Mu Family has agreed to the formal betrothal, and they are coming today with a betrothal gift to marry her. Isn't this good?"

In Xiao Zhan's view, Mu Xie's willingness to formally marry Xiao Xin was a great fortune for the Xiao Family, considering that ordinarily, Mu Xie directly seizes women.

Of course, this is inseparable from Xiao Xin's beauty.

By this time, many Xiao Family disciples had already gathered outside the courtyard, each looking at Xiao Xin with expressions of sorrow.

"You are too impudent!"

At this moment, Xiao Zhenshan shouted, releasing a wave of energy.

Crack~

The whole dining table shattered, causing the surrounding Xiao Family members to tremble, thinking that our Clan Leader dotes on Xiao Xin too much; does he not care about the life and death of the Xiao Family members?

All the members of the Xiao Family understood that if refused, the Xiao Family could not withstand the wrath of the Mu Family.

The Mu Family's Clan Leader is the City Lord of Mountain and Sea City, the only Martial Emperor, controlling the entire Mountain and Sea City. It can be said that the Mu Family is the local emperor of Mountain and Sea City. His orders are to be respected, and no one dares to defy them.

"Xiao Zhenshan, I think you are unfit to hold the position of Xiao Clan Leader!" At this moment, a voice was heard from outside the courtyard. The speaker was an elderly man with white hair, yet youthful features. As he entered the Xiao Family gate, every member of the Xiao Family became terrified.

"It's the old ancestor!" Many people stared at the back of the Xiao Family ancestor in shock, exclaiming, "For this matter, even the ancestor has personally appeared, and actually says the Clan Leader is unfit for the position; does this appearance mean he intends to depose the Clan Leader?"

Whether he is deposed or not, the fate of Xiao Xin seems already set in stone.

Indeed, the one who came is the Xiao Family's ancestor, who is also at the Ninth Layer of Martial Immortal.

The Xiao Family members, with mediocre talent, generally reach a bottleneck at the Ninth Layer of Martial Immortal, making it exceedingly difficult to break through and realize the Immortal King's Intent to step into the realm of Martial King.

Perhaps over a decade ago, Xiao Feng's parents had such hope, but sadly, they both perished in ruins.

At this moment, Xiao Xin's expression was extremely unpleasant, with tears glistening in her beautiful eyes.

"Sister!" Xiao Feng ran in. Although only fifteen years old, he was much taller than Xiao Xin, holding her in his arms with a look of distress. What he wanted to say to Xiao Tianyu was precisely this matter.

Now, naturally, there was no need to say it.

As for Xiao Tianyu, he sat there unmoved, continuing to listen to all of this, as it was a matter of the Xiao Family, and he was merely an outsider. Intervening directly seemed inappropriate.

However, Xiao Tianyu was not indifferent; he was just waiting for the right moment. After spending these days together, he already regarded Xiao Feng and Xiao Xin as siblings, and both were very innocent, a rarity in the world.

"You want to depose me from the position of Clan Leader?" Xiao Zhenshan stared at the Xiao Family ancestor, showing no hint of respect in his expression. Since he was already being deposed, why should he show respect? In terms of cultivation, they were equal, and in terms of strength, Xiao Zhenshan feared nothing within the Xiao Family.

"Pushing the Xiao Family into an abyss, can I, as the highest-ranked member of the Xiao Family, not have the right to depose you?" the ancestor coldly stared at Xiao Zhenshan. It was not difficult to tell from his words that the Xiao Family ancestor also intended to offer up Xiao Xin.

He continued, "Some things cannot be done just because the Xiao Family is unwilling. The fate of the Xiao Family is not in the hands of the Xiao Family!"

"Indeed, I also support the Xiao Family handing over Xiao Xin!" At this moment, another voice came from outside the courtyard, causing another stir; the Third Elder and Fourth Elder of the Xiao Family arrived together.

It seems the Xiao Family is dead set on offering up Xiao Xin.

Beauty, unfortunately, leads to misfortune.

Behind them followed a young woman, about twenty years old, of ordinary appearance; this woman was Xiao Ling, daughter of the Third Elder of the Xiao Family.

Usually, Xiao Ling's greatest jealousy was of Xiao Xin's beauty, from childhood to adulthood.

Now that Xiao Xin had fallen to this point, naturally, Xiao Ling was the happiest.

Xiao Ling giggled at Xiao Xin, "Congratulations, cousin, marrying into a prestigious family like the Mu Family. From now on, I also want to bask in your glory, don't you think?"

"Shut up!" Xiao Feng snorted coldly, "Don't pretend to be kind when you're not. Even if I have to risk my life, I will not let my sister marry into the Mu Family!"

"Risking your life, is that useful?" Xiao Ling looked at Xiao Feng with pride, "Do you think you have the ability to challenge the Mu Family? Don't even consider whether the Mu Family would give you any thought; the Xiao Family itself would not permit you to do such a thing!"

"You..."

"Xiao Feng, stop talking!" Xiao Xin shouted, "I am willing to marry into the Mu Family!"

"Sister!"

"Xin'Er!"

Xiao Zhenshan and Xiao Feng both expressed great surprise.

"My mind is made up!" Xiao Xin said, then turning to Xiao Feng, "While I'm not in the Xiao Family, you'll have to take care of grandpa for me!"

As her voice fell, tears streamed from Xiao Xin's beautiful eyes like a broken levee. If she had a choice, how could she agree? She knew very well that her fate was not one she could control.

Her future is destined to be a pawn sacrificed by the Xiao Family.
