848: C848 I'll be Fine as Long as I'm Here

C848 I'll be Fine as Long as I'm Here

Xiao Yuanshan looked down at the hundreds of people below. Half of them were the descendants of the Xiao Family, and the other half were the servants and guards who served the Xiao Family.

Xiao Family had strict rules. Every month, Xiao Yuanshan would preside over a general assembly.

In every general assembly, Xiao Yuanshan would always be impassioned and high-spirited.

However, it was different this time. The way he looked at everyone was no longer as dignified as before. Instead, it was replaced by a strong sense of guilt and helplessness.

His hair was much whiter, and his body was slightly hunched. He looked like he had aged ten years.

"I'm sorry, everyone."

Xiao Yuanshan had been brewing for a while, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "Because I, Xiao Yuanshan, am useless and caused the destruction of Xiao Family."

"Everyone here, regardless of whether you have the bloodline of the Xiao Family flowing in your veins, in my point of view, you are all part of the Xiao Family!"

"Today, the Xiao Family is going to face a catastrophe. As the patriarch, I am useless and can't turn the tides."

After saying that, Xiao Yuanshan took out a stack of forms from his pocket while trembling. He looked at everyone and sighed, "Today, the Xiao Family is going to face a catastrophe. It's all my fault."

"You don't have to be implicated by me. This form and report belongs to the Xiao Family."

"All of you, come up here and sign below your names. As for the amount, just fill in whatever you want. Don't be polite to me."

"No matter who you are, whether you have the bloodline of the Xiao Family or your servants, we will treat you equally."

"After that, take the money and leave immediately. In the future, live a good life. Consider this the last thing that I, Xiao Yuanshan, will do for everyone!"

"Everyone, take care!"

Xiao Yuanshan's eyes were filled with tears. He bowed deeply to everyone and then slowly moved his body to the side.

He could not face the scene that was about to happen.

The Xiao Family had experienced the accumulation and hard work of several generations of people, and had finally become the greatest clan in the south of the Yangtze River.

However, Xiao Yuanshan couldn't accept the fact that everything was about to disappear in front of his eyes.

However, after waiting for a while, he realized that there wasn't any movement from below the stage.

He turned his head to look and was surprised to find that there were hundreds of people below the stage, and each of them came forward to sign.

Everyone was silent, and only looked at him with a very special gaze.

"All of you... don't delay any longer, hurry up, or else it will be too late..."

Xiao Yuanshan was thinking for everyone from the bottom of his heart. Those seven Daoist Cang Yun had sent a letter of challenge to the entire Xiao Family, not just to Xiao Yuanshan alone.

Therefore, if Daoist Cang Yun appeared, none of these people would be able to leave.

"Patriarch, don't say anymore. We won't leave."

At this moment, an aunt in her forties, who was wearing a servant uniform and holding a tow in her hand, spoke, "We don't have much ability, and we don't really know how to speak."

"But we only know that we are very happy every day in Xiao Family. Patriarch has done us a great favor, and everyone treats us very well."

"We will remember every kindness the Xiao Family has shown us."

"Now that the Xiao Family is in trouble, we can't help much even if we aren't capable enough."

"But we can stand next to the patriarch and face life and death together with him."

"We will use our blood and lives to show the people the true nature of our Xiao Family!"

"Even if we die without a complete corpse, we can't let the world look down on our Xiao Family!"

"So, Patriarch, don't say anything. We can't leave no matter what."

Xiao Yuanshan moistened his eyes, "You..."

As soon as he said that, a young disciple of Xiao Family with a bloodline said, "Patriarch, don't say anything else."

"If the servants of Xiao Family are already like this, there's no need to say anything about us who have the bloodline of Xiao Family."

"We don't want to talk about how to escape now. Our purpose of coming here today is to let the patriarch lead us to face the enemy together!"

"Even if we don't have the slightest chance of winning, we have to fight with the strength of the Xiao Family!"

Xiao Yuanshan clenched his fists so hard that cracking sounds could be heard. His eyes were red, but his eyes were firm, "I, Xiao Yuanshan, have done many things in my life that I think are incomparably glorious to others."

"I was once complacent because of those things, but only now do I know that the most glorious thing in my life is not those undeserved reputations, but the fact that I am able to have all of you here!"

"All of you are the greatest glory in my life!"

"Alright, in that case, I won't waste any more time talking nonsense!"

"In the battle later, we are destined to have no chance of winning, so there is no need to discuss any tactics."

"As the head of the family, I only have one request, and that is, when everyone dies, I hope to face the enemy!"

"Xiao Family, our family can be destroyed, our people can die, and we must not lose our integrity!"

"The bones of the Xiao Family, fight!"

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

The entire hall was filled with powerful shouts.

"Now I finally know why you are so unyielding."

Outside the hall, Yang Xuan said to Xiao Ziyi with a smile while biting on a cigarette.

In fact, the two of them had been here for more than ten minutes. The reason why they didn't go in was because Yang Xuan wanted to see how the people of Xiao Family would deal with them when they were in danger.

Such an outcome surprised Yang Xuan. Everyone in the Xiao Family was united, but none of them escaped death.

If such a family wasn't powerful, who else could?

"No, I think I'm quite gentle. "

Xiao Ziyi replied with a smile. At the same time, she felt very gratified by the performance of the people of Xiao Family in the hall. She felt proud that she was a part of the Xiao Family.

" Why are you so gentle? "

Yang Xuan reached out his hand and gently scratched Xiao Ziyi's fair nose.

Xiao Ziyi's appearance was indeed very gentle, and she never spoke loudly. Her gestures were like the gentle breeze of a mountain stream.0

Just from her appearance alone, it seemed that no matter how one looked at it, it did not have anything to do with the word unyielding.

But only those who truly understood her would know what kind of stubbornness and unyielding character Xiao Ziyi had in her bones.

"Let's go. We should also go in. Don't let them get too anxious."

Xiao Ziyi said with a smile.

The two of them gently pushed open the door of the hall and slowly walked in.

"Dad, look who came."

Xiao Ziyi smiled and looked at Xiao Yuanshan on the stage.

"Ziyi, why are you... Brother Yang Xuan, why are you here?"

Xiao Yuanshan suddenly saw Yang Xuan following beside Xiao Ziyi.

Yang Xuan replied with a smile, "I still have to ask you. If Ziyi hadn't told me about such a big incident in Xiao Family, I would have been kept in the dark. Master of Xiao Family, do you think I am an outsider?"

"This... this... Ziyi, you are messing around!"

Xiao Yuanshan sighed, "Why did you involve Yang Xuan in this kind of thing? Don't tell me our Xiao Family owes him enough?"
