Chapter 38: The last bit of resentment
Chapter 38 The last bit of unwillingness
Although Xiaocheng is called a city, it is actually a country, but it is not as vast as Shenjiang.
The supreme ruler of Shenjiang is the high priest, and the ruling and management power is concentrated in the Hanyue Sect, and the Hanyue Sect is jointly managed by the suzerain and the elder hall.
As for Xiaocheng, the highest ruler is the city lord, and the ruling and management power is concentrated in the city lord's mansion, and there is only the Xiao family in the city lord's mansion.
There are always descendants and concubines in aristocratic families. The founders of Xiaocheng were originally the descendants of the Xiao family, and the ruling power was of course in the hands of the descendants at first.
Only later...
"Back then, I was only fifteen years old, and my father was still alive, but the tigers and wolves of the concubine, not long after my grandfather passed away, they insisted on the excuse that our lineage did not have a cultivator who had opened the spiritual aperture, and they wanted to kill all of our lineage. They were expelled from the spiritual domain by pulse, and who didn't know that they had already been eyeing the position of city lord.
"Originally, even if we insisted on refusing to leave, they would have nothing to do, but my father had a strong temperament, was arrogant and upright, and couldn't tolerate all kinds of humiliation from those in the family. In a fit of anger, he took our family and left the spiritual realm. Starting from scratch, the current Xiao Group was established. No matter how difficult it is, they have never relied on any support from those in the Shuzhi.
"But even after leaving the spiritual realm, my father never gave up. He spent his entire life cultivating day and night, and made a blood oath in the ancestral hall. One day, he must return to the spiritual realm in a glorious manner , returned to the City Lord's Mansion, and recaptured everything that belongs to our direct line, but he finally..."
Tears glistened in Xiao Guyuan's eyes, and his old voice was choked with sobs.
Xiao Jiuhan had heard about the latter when he was a child, that his great-grandfather was still unable to break through the mysterious level to open the spiritual aperture, and finally forced himself to go mad, and his tendons were broken and he died.
Xiao Guyuan sighed for a long time, and said: "Father's greatest wish in life is to return to the spiritual realm. He changed my name to Guyuan, which was taken from 'Chi Yusi Guyuan'. Your father's name is Xiao Silin is taken from the first half of the sentence 'Jinniao loves the old forest', but it's a pity..."
Not only the names of grandpa and father, but also the names of the second and fourth uncles, Xiao Ronggui, Xiao Yijin, taken from - "Yijin Ronggui".
She knew what Grandpa was regretting.
It's a pity that the grandfather himself has been full of hair since he was a teenager, and he has never been able to fulfill his late father's last wish.
Father Xiao Silin tried his best to help his grandfather fulfill his long-cherished wish, but in the end he pushed himself too hard and died young.
Second Uncle and Fourth Uncle...
Ah!
Second Uncle is content with the status quo, he only knows how to curry favor with the subordinates in the city lord's mansion, and he doesn't care about the resentment of the elders.
Fourth Uncle has inherited a little spirit, but unfortunately, that's all.
As for Xiao Jiuhan's generation, none of them had any breakthrough in ancient martial arts.
When Xiao Jiuhan was young, his grandfather always forced her to practice, and his requirements were almost harsh on her. When Xiao Jiuhan was young, Xiao Jiuhan even hated his grandfather because of this.
Although she gradually understood grandpa's difficulties after she became an adult, and was willing to shoulder this heavy burden instead of grandpa, but she was really limited in her ability, and finally forced herself to almost collapse.
Grandpa seemed to understand this too. He saw the hard work and pressure of the eldest grandson, and he was unwilling to persecute the poor child. The old man chose to accept his fate and let go.
Back when grandpa completely handed over the Xiao family to her and moved to live in this old house, he had already given up helplessly. He was unwilling, but the powerlessness of reality forced him to compromise.
Hiding here alone and barely breaking through is probably the only thing left by this old man.
