Chapter 1: Father is humiliated, and son will return ()

The sky was covered with gray clouds, and the darkness revealed some depressing atmosphere. Gradually, the clouds in the east became redder and redder, and later they burned violently like flames. All the morning light finally pierced the darkness and spread out to the point, marking the entire mountain and field red.

Surrounded by this mountain, there is a small village with only thirty or forty households. Relying on the occasional barren land between the mountains, struggling hard to survive and struggle. At the moment when the sun was rising and the morning light shone, the boy in the room opened his eyes at the same time. After a brief confusion, his face showed a calm look far beyond his peers.

After getting up quickly and washing up for a while, Xiao Chen hurriedly walked out. Today is the day to enter the city in early spring to receive the seeds needed for a year, but he needs to hurry up and bring some dry food to set off early so as not to be unable to return home at night.

However, after stepping out of the room, what he saw in front of him was stunned, and then he smiled and said, "Father, why did my mother get up so early? Don't worry, I remember that today is the date for taking seeds, and it will not be delayed."

Xiao’s father Xiao Wenshan looked at his son with hind expectations, waved his hand when he heard this, and said, “Change your clothes, I will go to the city with you today.”

Xiao Chen was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized that his father had changed into the most solemn tribal outfit today. On weekdays, he only wore such solemn clothes on the day of clan sacrifice. Although he didn't understand what was going on, he nodded slightly, and after returning to the room, he took out a long brocade embroidered blue-faced gown from the bottom of the only worn box.

Breakfast passed by in silence, Xiao’s mother’s eyes were filled with a hint of worry. She opened her mouth several times, but was stopped by Xiao’s father’s stern eyes.

"Let's go."

After leaving the yard and looking at the blue carriage parked outside the door, Xiao Chen felt something strange again today.

"Mr. Xiao is here, please get in the car. Let's go now." Old Wu's family lives in the west of the village, and relies on this carriage to support the family's jobs. They are covered in wind and sun all day long. Although they are only in their early forties, they look like a little old man.

Xiao's father nodded, ignored Xiao Chen's puzzled eyes, raised the curtain of the car and crawled in.

"Hey, isn't the day of receiving seeds postponed? What are you going to do when the Xiao family hired Lao Wu's carriage?"

"Who knows? The Xiao family is mysterious and doesn't interact with us very much. But looking at the clothes they are wearing, maybe they told Xiao Chen that his wife is going to go."

"It's possible that Xiao Chen's child is really nice and looks pretty. If it weren't for his weak bones and not like he was a long-lasting life, I would have wanted to promise his daughter to him."

The carriage followed the only street in the village to the outside world. Listening to the vague discussion outside the car window, Xiao Chen was shocked. Could it be that he really wanted to take him to a blind date!

"Don't think randomly, cultivate your spirit well. Today... You may have the chance to become a dragon today... Don't ask too much, you will know when the time comes." Xiao's father waved his hand and looked at Xiao Chen, with a bit of complexity flashing across his face.

Xiao Chen nodded, then closed his eyes and rested.

Father Xiao looked at his son's slightly thin face, and his eyes gradually became more firm, and he murmured: "Today, what can I do if I bow my head to him? I can't delay this child for the rest of my life. Alas..."

After a sigh, the carriage fell into silence again.

"Mr. Xiao, Xiaocheng is here." Outside the carriage, Old Wu's respectful voice came.

Xiao Chen, who was closing his eyes, immediately opened his eyes when he heard this and found that there was a rare bit of loss on his father's face.

"Oh... Is this here?" Xiao's father muttered to himself, a bit of complexity flashed across his face, and then he opened the curtain and walked down.

"Old Wu, you go back first, don't wait here." Xiao's father said gently to Old Wu.

"Yes." Seeing Lao Wu drive away the carriage, Xiao's father stood in front of the huge city gate of Xiaocheng, looking at the huge word "Xiaocheng", his eyes were complicated. After a long time, Yan said, "Follow me." Yan closed and walked towards the city first.

Xiao Chen looked at his father's slightly old-fashioned back and felt a little confused. Why did he come here in person today? Thinking of today's events, he became more and more confused.

Half an hour later, the father and son found a simple shop to stay in. They had a short rest. Xiao's father told Xiao Chen not to go out privately, and then he looked complicated and hurried to the outsider.

Xiao Chen frowned slightly, and a little hesitant look appeared in his eyes, and then he quietly followed him to the outsider. Today, his father's appearance and behavior were too strange, so there must be something else in it.

Along the way, Xiao Chen followed him from afar, watching his father walk into a restaurant.

"Is my father coming to visit a friend this time?" Xiao Chen frowned slightly, walked into it, his eyes swept through the lobby on the first floor, and did not find his father, so he walked directly to the second floor private room. Although he was thin and pale, his behavior was extraordinary, and his clothes were not ordinary. The guy in the restaurant hesitated for a moment and did not dare to stop him in the end.

When he entered the second floor, his ears suddenly became quiet. Xiao Chen slowed down and walked slowly in the corridor, turning his head slightly and listening.

"Father is here!" Xiao Chen looked at the No. 1 box in front of him, and felt puzzled. Because his family was poor, his father had always been frugal. It was a bit strange to hire Lao Wu to drive the car today. At this moment, he came to this expensive restaurant to make friends, which was contrary to his father's personality.

Xiao Chen stood at the door, his eyes swept around the box, and then his eyes lit up slightly. The box was close to the street and left a ventilation hole to see the scene inside the box. His eyes swept through the corridor, and when he saw that there was no one around, he calmed his breath and walked over, tiptoed and looked inward.

The restaurant is decorated in ancient style, with a round table of pear blossoms and wood, four large green chairs, an ink landscape painting hanging on the wall, and a verdant potted plant in the corner, simple but full of charm.

At this moment, on the big blue chair, three middle-aged men with fair faces and clean faces were sitting steadily, with a faint coldness on their faces. Although they had not spoken, the natural breath from their bodies made people feel sank in their hearts. They were obviously the ones who had been in the upper position for a long time.

But what surprised Xiao Chen the most was his father's performance at this moment. He sat opposite the three of them. Although his expression was a little complicated, he did not show any uneasiness under the suppression of the three of them. He was quite free and easy to advance and retreat.

"Haha, my Xiao family has a lot of affairs. Today I send a message to me to come here. If I am not strict, I will not be with me." The middle-aged man in the three people slightly picked the corners of his mouth, and the sarcasm was faintly revealed. He drank a sip of tea and said.

Although the other two men were not speaking, they also showed a sneer on their faces.

Xiao Chen was slightly stunned when he heard this, Xiao family?

In Xiaocheng, there are only the Xiao clan of the Xiao clan. Are these three people actually the manager of the Xiao family? No wonder they have such a demeanor. But then he frowned slightly. Why did his father meet such a person? He had never heard him mention it before. Moreover, judging from the performance of the three, his relationship with his father seemed to be inappropriate.

Xiao Chen had countless thoughts in his mind, but before he could come back to his senses, he was so shocked by his father's words that he almost fell to the ground.

"Why should I be so heartless? Although I have left the Xiao family, you and I are blood brothers after all." Xiao's father looked complicated, looked at the three people opposite him and said in a low voice.

Xiao Wenting raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and then sneered: "Brother? Since you were expelled from the house for twenty years, have you only remembered that we are blood brothers at this moment!"

"Or or now you can't live outside anymore, so you come here. Do you hope we will give you some alms?"

This person's tone is cold and his words are full of ridicule.

"Brother, why bother with this person? The Immortal Master will arrive tomorrow. We should go back early to prepare for some matters." Xiao Wenqian said with a cold smile.

The three of them looked at Xiao's father coldly and wanted to get up and leave.

"Wait!" Xiao's father suddenly shouted softly, then trembled and pulled his hand deep into his arms, taking out a jade lion seal the size of a ring.

"Brother, although you ascended the head of the family with the help of the eldest mother, the seal representing the token of the head of the family was passed down to me early by my father. I believe you have lost a lot of thought about this over the years."

"If my brother agrees to my request, I will hand over this seal to you."

Seeing the seal in Xiao’s father’s hand, Xiao Wenting stopped moving, a little hot flashed in his eyes, and he pondered slightly, "What are you asking for today?"

After hearing this, Xiao's father looked at him and shook his head and said, "Brother, why bother ask me knowingly? I came today, so of course I am participating in the Immortal Sect for the sake of the dog son."

Xiao Wenting's eyes flashed slightly, and a little thought appeared on his face, and he was obviously considering the gains and losses of this matter.

"Brother, you must not do this. If that kid is lucky to be taken by the immortal master, wouldn't we be in a disaster!"

"That's right, brother thinks twice!"

Xiao Wenting waved his hand and signaled that the two of them didn't have to speak. His eyes fell sharply on Xiao's father, and he said in a cold voice: "You insulted your mother back then."

When Xiao's father heard this, his face became even more complicated. He turned over and knelt down, knelt three times, six times, and nine times in the direction of the Xiao family's clan ancestral hall, and said, "Wenshan was young and ignorant and collided with his eldest mother. Please forgive me for the spirit of the heaven!" Yan Shu, he seemed to have lost most of his strength, and his eyes dimmed instantly.

Xiao Wenting said lightly, "You were disrespectful to our brothers back then."

"I was young and energetic before, and I didn't know how to advance or retreat. Please forgive me and don't be as good as me."

Xiao's father looked even older, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to become denser for a moment.

"You hurt me back then." Xiao Wenting's face became colder. He suddenly pulled open his left sleeve and a ferocious scar winded out from his chest, like a huge ugly centipede.

When Xiao's father heard this, his body trembled slightly, but his backhand was merciless and directly smashed his left arm.

"Click!"

The crisp sound of the broken bones echoed, Xiao's father's face turned extremely pale, and his lips trembled slightly due to severe pain.

"Brother, is this enough?"

Xiao Wenting's expressionless face, his eyes fell on Xiao's father's embarrassing figure. After a while, he said coldly: "Don't say I won't give you a chance to turn around. I'll bring your son to my Xiao family tomorrow!" After that, he put the jade lion seal in his arms and turned around and took the two of them away!

After the three of them left, Xiao's father suddenly shook his body slightly and fell to the ground. After a while, he burst into tears.

"Mother, forgive my son for being unfilial. For Chen'er, I have to do this! Even if I suffer all the humiliation, I will give him a chance to soar into the sky! Mother, please forgive me!"

Mr. Xiao was crying and his voice was hoarse and as if he was crying blood.

Outside the box, Xiao Chen covered his mouth and fell softly to the ground!
