THE AGAINTS THE GOD

30 - Upheaval (9)

Xiao Yulong's words made Xiao Lie's entire body tremble, his students instantly contracted as he stood there in astonishment.

Seeing Xiao Yulong's sinister smile, how could he not realize that the mutterings on that day, in front of the tomb of his son Xiao Ying!

What Xiao Yulong said caused the crowd to instantly become a commotion. Everyone's jaws opened as they shifted their focus to Xiao Lie and when they saw Xiao Lie's unusual reaction, the astonishment in their hearts suddenly enlarged several times. With this, the voice of the discussion also began to increase.

Xiao Che was completely flustered; when he noticed Xiao Lie's reaction, he was stunned on the spot. Xiao Lingxi also had a dull expression, and looked at Xiao Lie blankly.

“Yulong! What's this about? '' Xiao Yunhai frowned as he asked solemnly.

Xiao Yulong turned to the side and replied respectfully, “A few days ago when I went to the cemetery in the back mountain to pay my respects, I coincidentally met the Fifth Elder. At that moment, she stood in front of her son, Xiao Ying's grave and muttered something to herself .. But I heard it very clearly, she said, not Xiao Ying's biological son! ”

From Xiao Yulong's words just now and Xiao Lie's reaction, the crowd was already second-guessing the truth, but now that Xiao Yulong had announced it clearly, it was like hearing a sudden roar of thunder. Everyone in the Xiao Clan was completely astonished. Those who were familiar and friendly with Xiao Lie widened their eyes even further, with faces full of disbelief.

"This ..." Xiao Yunhai also had a face full of surprise. He seriously said: “Yulong! This is a huge matter concerning our bloodline, you really cannot speak carelessly !! ”

Xiao Yulong firmly replied: “Of course I wouldn't dare lie about a matter of this magnitude. As for the truth, won't you know after you ask Fifth Elder ... Fifth Elder, I guess you've heard what I've said clearly, if you have a clear conscience, I'm guessing you've heard what I've said clearly, and that Xiao Che is really your biological grandson, then do you dare to swear on the honor of your son? "

Everyone's gaze focused on Xiao Lie. As he stood there stiffly, his expression became more bitter and astringent, he did not say a word or give an explanation for a while, it was the greatest pride of his life, and even if he had passed next, he would never have sworn on the honor of the deceased Xiao Ying, if that was the price.

Xiao Che opened his mouth, but he could not say a word. His chest felt empty as a heavy and stifling emotion quickly swept through his entire body.

"Dad, how could little Che not be your biological grandson .. Dad, say something quickly, tell them!" Xiao Lingxi strongly shook Xiao Lie's body as she shouted in a frightening tone of voice.

But Xiao Lie did not say a word for a long time, as if he had turned into a statue. His expression calmly turned old, and in the blink of an eye, he suddenly aged for over ten years.

“Fifth Elder, how did that happen? Are the words that Yulong said the truth? ”Xiao Yunhai anxiously asked Xiao Lie as he frowned.

Xiao Lie slowly raised his head and took a deep breath. Xiao Yulong forced him to swear to his son Xiao Ying .. But it was something he would never do no matter what. Henceforth, this matter that he had been hiding for sixteen years, was destined to be unable to remain hidden from now on. He thought that he could cover up the truth for a lifetime, until the day of his death, but he would never think that it would be revealed mercilessly so quickly under this unimaginable situation, and in front of so many people.

Xiao Lie's appearance had already secretly agreed. Otherwise, he could have sworn without worry and shut Xiao Yulong's mouth. Everyone in the Xiao Clan was flabbergasted. Even Xia Qingyue was stunned as well. Xia Hongyi who was standing around him quietly at this moment also had a face full of surprise .. Xiao Che is not Xiao Ying's son? How could this ... happen !!

"Grandfather…"

When Xiao Che walked in front of Xiao Lie, every step he took was extremely dense. When he saw a face that seemed to have aged in an instant, Xiao Che felt a burst of pain in his heart. He tried his best to stay calm, and asked gently, "Grandfather ... is this really .. right?"

Xiao Lie drooped on his head and looked at Xiao Che. She gave a bitter smile and in her gloomy eyes, was a complicated expression that Xiao Che could not see clearly: "Although you are not my biological child, but for all these years, Xiao Che has been unable to see clearly, I've always treated you as my own grandson .. ”

If the silence before signifies his approval, in that case, this sentence is a confirmation that now everyone has clearly heard!

The Xiao Clan was in an uproar. Being in the Xiao Clan for so many years, this was without a doubt, the most shocking news ever before.

Xiao Che stood there expressionlessly without uttering a single voice for a moment, as if he had lost his soul. Xiao Lingxi was stunned as well; she shook her head angrily, rushed towards Xiao Lie and restlessly shouted: “Dad! What did you say .. Little Che grew up with me since childhood, he is the biological son of my brother Xiao Ying, how could he not be your own grandson .. You must be kidding .. am I right !? ”

A hand stretched out and grabbed Xiao Lingxi's hand. At this moment Xiao Che's expression had changed back to normal. He looked at Xiao Lingxi and gently shook his head afterwards, revealing a shallow smile: “It's okay, little aunt. Grandfather will always be my grandfather, and you will always be my little aunt. We will always be the closest of the family, so it doesn't matter whether we have a blood relationship or not; our feelings will never change, does it really matter if I'm not a child? "

"Little Che ..." Xiao Lingxi's eyes instantly became blurred.

Whereas on the other hand, some crazy dogs that suddenly knew of Xiao Che's huge "weaknesses" started barking wildly.

“Xiao Lie! You actually brought it to our Xiao Clan, and let our Xiao Clan raise it for a full sixteen years! How you want us ... Even scold you! Argha! ”Third Elder Xiao Ze sighed heavily.

“You obviously know that he is but you still keep him in the Xiao Clan, and let him enjoy the privilege of being the grandson of an Elder! Xiao Lie, you have actually lied to our entire clan for sixteen years. If Yulong had not discovered this out of luck, maybe we would have been deceived by you forever. At that time, the Xiao Clan bloodline would be mixed with the blood of an outsider! Xiao Lie, do you know how big a sin it is! ”Fourth Elder Xiao Cheng pointed towards Xiao Lie as his face flushed red with his anxiety.

Second Elder Xiao Bo scolded loudly, “No wonder every descendant of our Xiao Clan has above average talents, but suddenly a deep vein hole appeared! So it turned out that the trash that the Xiao Clan had raised for sixteen years was actually ! If this were to spread, wouldn't our Xiao Clan be the laughingstock of Floating Cloud City! ”

Not only the four elders, but even the middle-aged, and the servants who included the four elders all stood up, mercilessly criticizing Xiao Lie. For a moment, Xiao Lie was subjected to many verbal arrows.

"Fifth Elder, this is ... is .. Argh!" After the color of Xiao Yunhai's face went through a series of changes as he sighed for a long time.

"Hehe, you guys really let me watch a very funny show. The Xiao Clan that had developed into what it was now with great difficulty, had suddenly mingled with the one that had come out of nowhere! I feel ashamed for all of you! ”When Xiao Kuangyun opened his mouth, his voice was the usual sound of a sharp discomfort. He glanced at Xiao Che and enthusiastically continued: "Today is the Xiao Clan's general meeting, other than the people from the Xiao Clan and the invited people, outsiders have no place here! Xiao Clan Master, what are you waiting for, quickly dispose of this and from today onwards, he should not be allowed to even take half a step into the Xiao Clan !! ”

"Ahh ... this ..." Xiao Yunhai had an expression "can't bear to". However after hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth, faced Xiao Che and spoke, “Xiao Che, Fifth Elder has admitted that you are not his grandson; You don't have the Xiao Clan's blood in your body either .. Although our Xiao Clan has raised you in vain for sixteen years, but in these sixteen years, it is only in the last six years, You are in the dark as well and if we chase you for anything, it will instead show our pettiness. From now on, you have nothing to do with our Xiao Clan and you are not allowed to take another half step into our Xiao Clan anymore! ”

All gazes were focused on Xiao Che again, and many people quietly sighed in their hearts. However, Xiao Che did not even have a trace of desire to plead or a sad expression on his face. After listening to Xiao Yunhai's words, he only smiled slightly with signs of sarcasm: "The Clan Master and the elders don't need to be bothered, because I don't belong to your Xiao Clan at all, either, you know, you don't belong to your Xiao Clan, then I will go ... Next I will go right now!"

He stood in front of Xiao Lie as his eyes trembled for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Grandfather ... If I'm not your grandson, then who exactly are my biological parents?"

Xiao Lie already knew beforehand that he was going to ask this question. He closed his eyes and shook his head, "I don't know, Xiao Ying picked you up from the outside, even he doesn't know who your real birth parents really are …"

"……" From Xiao Lie's trembling and his complicated eyes, Xiao Che knew this was not Xiao Lie's sincere answer. He had to know the truth of his birth, but in front of so many people, he could not say it.

In a voice*call*, Xiao Che knelt heavily in front of Xiao Lie and sincerely said: "Grandfather, even if I am not your biological child, but sixteen this year, he said, you've treated me better than you yourself. You raised me, educated me, protected me, spent a lot of blood and sweat on me, and I have never been able to restore compassion during these sixteen years. I've always been very happy to have such a kind-hearted grandfather like you. Although it was only today that I learned that I actually did not have the blood of the Xiao Clan, what about that? You are my grandfather and I am your grandson, even if we are not related by blood, I will forever keep this affection in my heart! As long as grandfather doesn't mind, I will forever be your grandson! ”

Those words caused everyone to feel a tremor in their hearts. Xiao Lie's eyes began to get wet as he nodded, said "good" in a hoarse voice, and walked forward, raising his hand with the intention of lifting Xiao Che up.

Yet Xiao Che dodged his hand, bowed, and weighed three times towards Xiao Lie.

"Grandfather, little aunt, no matter what happens after I leave, I ask you to protect yourself carefully, and take care of your health properly …. ”

When Xiao Che stood up, his forehead was already bruised. Yet the smile on his face remained as gentle and soothing as the autumn breeze. He turned his body and walked towards the gate. She didn't want to go .. because little grandfather and aunt were here; she still wanted to use her life to protect them, otherwise grandfather and little aunt would be dragged into an unexpected mess. Regardless of whether he wanted to stay or not, he would still be forced to leave.

"Little Che !!"

Xiao Lingxi sobbed a cry coming from behind, and Xiao Che's footsteps stopped slightly, but she did not stop. He did not look back, and walked towards the gate without hesitation .. No one knew that under its calm and serene facade, it covered a lot of anger, hatred and intent to kill …

He was very wise and ingenious, but he had no strength .. Without strength, he could not fight back, he could not protect his grandfather and little aunt, he could not protect his grandfather and his little aunt, and he didn't even have the strength to fight .. He had no other choice but to be expelled this way …

The day when he was just reborn, he wanted to gain strength, and power was something that humans had always pursued from the very beginning. At this moment, compared to the previous days, his thirst for immense power multiplied a hundredfold, and could even be said to be a thousand times stronger …

He wanted to gain immense strength to protect his grandfather and little aunt, to remove all this humiliation, and to make the people who had revealed their ugly faces today, regret. He wanted Xiao Kuangyun to die without a corpse .. And even wanted the entire Xiao Clan to pay an unforgettable price!

"Please take care of my grandfather and my little aunt .. I beg …"

As it passed Xia Qingyue, Xiao Che said in a voice that only he could hear.

This man was filled with mystery and arrogance; when he said that, his eyes revealed a desperate plea for help, because her request seemed so heartbreaking. Xia Qingyue's heart trembled heavily, and suddenly felt an instant suffocation .. She could not help but subconsciously and slowly, nodding her head.
