Our Xiao family's young master, even if he makes a mistake, it's for our family to decide.
As for today's matter, Xiao Jian did nothing wrong! And you, a Dou Shi, dare to claim you can discipline Xiao Jian in place of our elders?
Today, I want to see where your confidence comes from!"
Although the Grand Elder sometimes had personal inclinations, the family always came first in his heart.
Previously, Xiao Jian had merely brought profits to the family, which was enough to earn the Grand Elder's respect.
Now, showing such terrifying potential, the Grand Elder could not let a genius like Xiao Jian be disheartened, even for the family's sake.
Moreover, this was not someone untouchable—simply attacking Xiao Jian alone was enough to ignite the Grand Elder's killing intent toward Huang Jing.
Another reason was that his granddaughter, Xiao Yulin, had entrusted him to watch over Xiao Jian before leaving.
Although in the earlier rush, the Grand Elder hadn't fully gauged Xiao Jian's strength, it was clear he hadn't reached Dou Zhe yet.
Escaping from a Dou Shi's attack already showed how terrifying Xiao Jian's potential was.
After all, it had been less than half a year since the last evaluation. From having no Dou Qi to his current state, if he continued at this pace, the Xiao family might produce a genius surpassing Xiao Yan of the past!
So, even just to show Xiao Jian's importance to the family, Huang Jing had to die today.
Although the Grand Elder's talent was average, he still possessed Dou Shi-level strength. Facing a mere Dou Shi was effortless.
Huang Jing, who had spoken so arrogantly, could barely breathe now.
A moment later, Huang Jing perished under the Grand Elder's palm.
"Hmph, in all these years, I've developed gently. Some fools have forgotten the iron-handed methods the Xiao family used when entering Utan City!"
After killing Huang Jing, the Grand Elder took the man's spiritual ring, secured it, and walked to Xiao Jian.
"Let's go. I heard from Xiao Ning that you went to the Dou Skill Hall.
I didn't think much of it before, but now it seems your strength is close to Dou Zhe.
From having no Dou Qi to Dou Zhe in just a few months.....if I hadn't seen it myself, I wouldn't believe it!"
Seeing the Grand Elder's kindly smile, looking at him as if he were his own grandson, Xiao Jian smiled slightly.
This was the advantage of being in a smaller family....if the talent was good, elders treated him as a treasure.
After all, the revival of the Xiao family required a true genius.
"Alright, come back with me. Your matters still need to be discussed with the Family Leader, Second Elder, and Third Elder."
The Grand Elder patted Xiao Jian's shoulder affectionately.
"Yes, thank you, Grand Elder."
Xiao Jian nodded, then turned to Jacks and said:
"Uncle Jacks, I'll make a compensation list and a detailed weapon request.
Your men will deliver it to you. I want the best materials used, and if the weapon passes inspection, I'll reimburse the materials cost."
Jacks' face immediately broke into a kind smile. "No need, Third Young Master. Consider it a gesture of friendship!"
"Hehe, alright then."
Xiao Jian smiled, then followed the Grand Elder. The Xiao family guards trailed behind.
Watching them leave, Jacks' smile faded. He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Having been in Utan City for so many years, he knew the Xiao family's methods.
Huang Jing....what an idiot.....still thinking he could join forces with him against the XIAO family.
Looking at the lifeless Huang Jing, Jacks sneered, then left the central square.
He planned to discipline his subordinates back at the shop.
Just stick to blacksmithing and business....don't meddle with these big players.
Xiao Family, Council Hall.
Xiao Zhan sat at the head, with three elders to the left, and Xiao Jian to the right.
All four sets of eyes focused on Xiao Jian.
Even someone as calm as Xiao Jian felt the weight of their gaze. He said:
"Father, Elders, I only have Dou Qi at five Duan. I only practiced the family's neglected Dou Skill, Wind Hawk Kick.
I'm good at running away, so don't stare at me like that!"
"Only five Duan? Impossible!"
The Grand Elder slammed the table and glared. Five Duan of Dou Qi and physical quality could practice advanced Yellow-tier Dou Skills? Ridiculous!
"I saw it with my own eyes. With your speed, ordinary Dou Zhe could not match it.
The aura you emit is at least eight Duan!"
