The talent Fang Hao displayed was something that the Xiao family’s younger generation could not compare to, and his potential was limitless.

As such, none of the elders of the Xiao family wanted their entire family to be dragged down by Xiao Yun.

“Since it’s like that, we’ll wait,” Fang Xun said with an icy expression.

The Xiao family’s elders all apologetically smiled, feeling incredibly depressed.

Some of the elders bitterly complained inwardly, “If we knew that brat would cause such trouble, it would have been better for him to die long ago.”

Currently, Xiao Yun was excitedly running back to the Xiao family’s residence, his tender face filled with delight.

“I was able to step into the Eighth Layer of Body Tempering this time; I should be able to reach the Ninth Layer soon as well.”

Xiao Yun had stayed in the Violet Cloud Mountain for 2 days, and not only had his Martial Spirit become much stronger, his cultivation had also broken through.

However, the Essence Qi in the outskirts of the Violet Cloud Mountain was too thin, and he had only stepped into the early stages of the Eighth Layer of Body Tempering.

Despite this, Xiao Yun was quite satisfied - being able to break through was already a great benefit to him.

At the very least, he had proven that he was no longer that trash whose cultivation did not progress for 8 years.

As long as he could satisfy the Martial Spirit’s resource requirements, he would be able to continue to cultivate. As his Martial Spirit became stronger, his cultivation speed would become faster. As such, as long as he had enough resources, stepping into the Innate realm would be no problem at all.

Just as Xiao Yun joyfully entered the Xiao family’s residence, he suddenly felt that the way the other family members looked at him became a bit strange. However, he was feeling quite happy, so he didn’t take it to heart.

“That trash disappeared for 2 days, and still dares to come back.”

“I bet he ran out to go into hiding for 2 days.”

Before he walked too far away, the other people started murmuring among themselves. When he heard these things, Xiao Yun instantly felt that something was off.

“Big bro, you’re back.” Just as Xiao Yun was wondering what had happened, a clear and pleasant voice sounded out. He saw Xiao Ling’Er running over from the distance, a worried expression on her small and delicate face. She seemed to be running as fast as she could.

“Ling’Er, what happened?” Xiao Yun asked with a frown.

Xiao Ling’Er pulled Xiao Yun’s shirtsleeves as she said anxiously, “Big bro, the Fang family’s people came to make trouble for you, and the elders want to hand you over. Hurry up and run, otherwise it’ll be too late.” She was so worried that there were even tears in her eyes.

She had heard that the Fang family’s people wouldn’t spare her big brother.

When he heard this, Xiao Yun tightly frowned and felt as if his heart had been cut by knives. “The family’s elders want to hand me over? Could it be that I hold such a low position in their hearts that they would hand me over without even asking me what had happened?”

At this moment, a rough and boorish voice called out, “Xiao Yun, you’re finally here. Hurry and come with me to the guest hall.” A big middle-aged man led a group of Iron Guards and surrounded Xiao Yun, as if they were capturing a criminal.

“Uncle Xiao Mo, are you here to arrest me?” A bitter smile appeared on Xiao Yun’s face. If other people found out that a descendant of the main house fell into such a situation, they’d gossip about it like there was no tomorrow.

Xiao Mo replied coldly, “That’s right. Xiao Yun, you dared to use poison to injure price Fang Wei; hurry up and come with me to receive your punishment. Trash should just obediently stay at home instead of going out and causing problems for the family. We’ve raised you for nothing all these years.”

“Trash?” Xiao Yun’s eyelids jumped as he laughed inwardly.

“Alright, I’ll come with you to meet the Fang family’s people. I want to see how you guys are going to punish trash like me for the sake of outsiders.” As he said the second sentence, Xiao Yun felt his heart clench in pain.

This was reality - without enough power, everything was meaningless.

Luckily, he was not the same person he was before!

The group of Iron Guards hurriedly fell into formation around the youth, trapping him tightly between them.

Xiao Yun shrugged and didn’t say anything as he followed Xiao Mo to the guest hall.

“Big bro, don’t go with them,” Xiao Ling’Er half-sobbed as she pulled on her big brother’s arm.

“Ling’Er, don’t worry, your big bro will be fine.” Xiao Yun patted her head as he smiled.

Xiao Mo coldly laughed, “You still think you’re the genius from back then? Let’s go.”

One of the Iron Guards pulled Xiao Ling’Er away.

“Screw off, don’t touch my little sister.” Xiao Yun was furious, and sent a palm strike towards that Iron Guard, causing him to release Xiao Ling’Er.

“What powerful force!” The Iron Guard was shocked, and he became enraged and said, “You dare to attack me?”

“A mere Iron Guard like you dares to yell at me?” Xiao Yun’s gaze became piercing. “Do you not know the family’s rules?”

The Iron Guard coldly harrumphed. He wanted to strike back at Xiao Yun, but resisted, because he knew that this youth knew how to use poison!

“Don’t quibble with him; he’s already a walking corpse,” Xiao Mo said as he calmly smiled. “If you don’t want anyone to touch your sister, then be obedient and walk.” After saying this, he didn’t look back as he strode towards the guest hall, treating Xiao Yun like a corpse.

“Ling’Er, don’t worry, I’ll be back soon.” Xiao Yun felt a chill within his heart, but continued to comfort his little sister.

“Big bro, I’ll go find grandpa. He’ll definitely save you,” Xiao Ling’Er said as she sobbed.

“Grandpa…” Xiao Yun spaced out as the image of a kind old man appeared in his mind.

Xiao Yun then bitterly replied, “It’s a pity he has been in closed door training for the past 2 years; I’m afraid he won’t come.”

He shook his head, then walked with Xiao Mo and the Iron Guards.

A look of determination appeared on Xiao Ling’Er’s face as she ran towards the depths of the Xiao family’s residence.

The Xiao family and Fang family’s elders sat silently within the Xiao family’s guest hall, and a strange atmosphere hung in the air.

A boorish voice sounded out, “Xiao Yun’s here!” Everyone’s eyes lit up as they looked towards the entrance of the guest hall. There, a youth was slowly walking in, looking extremely calm.

Xiao Hong couldn’t help but frown and give a light sigh when he saw this youth.

“What have the elders called me here for?” Xiao Yun glanced around, then looked at the Xiao family’s elders.

The head elder’s expression darkened as he roared, “Xiao Yun, kneel down!”

The elders beside him glared at Xiao Yun coldly, as if they were looking at a pestilence.

“Kneel down? Why do I need to kneel down?” Xiao Yun’s gaze also became cold as he looked back at the elder who had spoken.

This was the Xiao family’s head elder, and wielded quite a bit of power.

The head elder’s gaze became vicious, as he said oppressively, “You’ve walked down an evil path and learned despicable techniques. You used poison to harm the Fang family’s young master, and brought shame to our Xiao family. You still dare to act tough? Do you want this old man to make a move? Hmph, you should know that you’re not the same genius you were before.”

“Xiao Yun, hurry up and tell us how you harmed the Fang family’s young master,” another elder said as he glared at Xiao Yun.

The Fang family’s elders coldly looked back and didn’t say anything, as if it had nothing to do with them.

Xiao Yun tilted his head back and laughed as he replied, “Haha, I’m not the same genius I was before? Just because my cultivation stopped progressing, you’re going to side with outsiders against me? Just because my cultivation stopped progressing, you view me as a piece of grass you can just toss away?”

“Insolence! Is that how you speak to your seniors?” the head elder shouted, as his oppressive might swept out, trying to cause this youth to submit.

 “Senior?” Facing that oppressive might, Xiao Yun felt like he couldn’t breathe. He gritted his teeth, but didn’t retreat as he glared at the head elder and replied, “If you treated me like a relative, you would naturally be my senior, and I would show you respect. However, since you see me as a dispensable piece of grass, why do I need to show you respect?”

Another elder chided, “Insolence, you evil creature.”

Seated at the main seat, Xiao Hong frowned, expressing his displeasure towards those elders’ attitude. However, he only gave a light sigh as he waved, asking the youth to speak. “Alright, Xiao Yun, tell us how you injured the Fang family’s young master.”

Xiao Yun remained calm and said, “Fang Wei and the others provoked me for nothing, and I endured their humiliation. However, he wanted to kill me, so I acted in order to protect myself. Elders, are you really going to hand me over to outsiders because of something like this? Could it be that my Xiao family is going to endure being beaten and bashed by others? Could it be that we need to allow ourselves to be dealt with by outsiders for justly protecting ourselves?”

The elders were all speechless. “This…”

The head elder venomously glared at him. “But why did you use poison?”

“If someone wanted to kill you, would you just allow them to kill you?” Xiao Yun was filled with anger, as he coldly laughed, “Haha, what a joke. You didn’t even know the full story, and yet you were in such a hurry to hand me over. Are you the Fang family’s dogs? I’m a descendant of the Xiao family’s main house, and have a noble status - don’t you think that we’ll be laughed at if this matter was spread?”

“Impudent!” The head elder roared, feeling extremely enraged.

The rest of the elders made a decision to hand Xiao Yun over.

 The rest of the elders made a decision to hand Xiao Yun over. “Trash like you brought disaster to our family, and yet you dare to oppose your seniors like this. Looks like you’re so arrogant that you put no one in your eyes; even if we spare you, we’ll just be keeping evil in our midst. Since it’s like this, I think there’s no need so say anymore; Fang Clan’s Third Uncle, we’ll give this person to you to deal with.”

They didn’t care who was in the right and who was in the wrong - they simply wanted to appease the Fang family’s anger.

After witnessing Fang Hao’s talent, they started to worry for the future.

“Since it’s like that, we’ll be taking the boy with us,” Fang Xun said as he smiled, nodding as he stood up.

Xiao Yun’s heart fell. “So it turns out in your eyes, I’m just a piece of trash.”

Did they even count as relatives?

“Eldest Uncle, do you also approve for me to be given over to them?” Xiao Yun suddenly raised his head as he looked at the middle-aged man in the main seat. He wanted to see what his eldest uncle thought.

Xiao Hong didn’t dare to meet the gaze of the youth. He took a deep breath and smiled at Fang Xun as he said, “Fang Clan’s Third Uncle, do you think you could spare his life? After all, he’s my Xiao family’s main house’s descendant.”

“We can spare his life, but he needs to hand over the antidote, as well as sever the meridians in his wrists and destroy his cultivation,” Fang Xun coldly replied. “Of course, if he can’t cure my son’s poison, then don’t even think about living.”

Xiao Hong frowned, “Sever the meridians in his wrists? Is that really necessary?”

Fang Xun’s tone became colder as he said, “Yes, it is. He injured many people from my family; how can he be forgiven just like that?”

At this moment, a vigorous voice sounded out like a peal of thunder. “I’ll see who dares to harm my grandson!”

“It’s father!” Xiao Hong’s eyebrows jumped as a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

 “Grandpa!” The youth’s heart leapt with joy, and his heart, which had felt colder and colder, became warm again. He couldn’t hold back a tear as he felt the blood in his body boil, and the old man’s voice continuously swirled around in his ears.
