Chapter 325: Heart-wrenching

Sun You stayed in the Xu family for a long time, and chatted for a long time with Mrs. Xu, Xu Teng, and Xu Xing, the three members of the Xu family who are now in charge of the Xu family, in that hall, and none of the subordinates of the Xu family were allowed to approach that hall, including the close girls who served Mrs. Xu on weekdays. No one knew what the four people said inside, but when this somewhat mysterious conversation was finished and Sun You walked out, his face didn't look too unusual to outsiders, he was very calm and indifferent.

Mrs. Xu is old, of course, it is impossible to really send this grandson out in person, and after hearing that Sun You went to the Immortal Society but brought back the news that he could not do anything, Miss Snow Shadow's mother cried again, and now the situation is very bad, Xu Xing had to hurry back to visit. So in the end, it was Xu Teng who accompanied Sun You out, but although the two had a close relationship and were uncles and nephews, with Xu Teng as the head of the Xu family, it could still be seen that Sun You's status in the minds of several elders of the Xu family at this moment was different from before.

Such speculation and eyesight, among high-ranking families, regardless of the status of men, women, and children, almost everyone will pay attention. However, compared to those bright or dark sights, Xu Teng and Sun You remained silent along the way, not even chatting basically, as if the words between them had already been finished in that hall. They just walked side by side until they reached the gate.

Sun You walked down the steps in front of the door, turned back to Xu Teng standing on the steps and bowed slightly, Xu Teng sighed and said, "You go, take care of yourself." ”

"Yes. Sun You whispered yes, and then turned around.

After watching Sun You's figure walk away, Xu Teng turned around and walked home, and returned to the hall, Xu Xing went to the backyard and didn't come back, only Mrs. Xu was still sitting on the big chair in the room, her eyes slightly closed as if she was recuperating. On the coffee table next to it, the original cold tea has been removed and replaced with steaming new tea, apparently someone has come in to clean it up.

Xu Teng walked to Mrs. Xu and sat down, took a sip of the teacup, looked at Mrs. Xu after a moment of silence, and said softly, "Mother, are you okay?"

Old Madam Xu slowly opened her eyes, her face did look a little tired, but her spirit was okay, and she nodded.

Xu Teng put down the teacup, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Mother, among the younger generation of our Xu family, although Xiaoying is indeed outstanding, the other clansmen, including some distant relatives and side branches, are counted, and there are quite a few of them, and in fact, there may not be one or two materials that can be made. Why ......"

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then said after a moment of silence, "It's not that the child has any opinion of Xiaoyou, it's just that this child is still surnamed Sun or not Xu, and if he rashly puts all the foundation of our Xu family on him, I'm afraid it's still a little inappropriate." ”

Old Madam Xu shook her head and said, "It's too late." ”

Xu Teng frowned and said, "How do you say this?"

Sun Mingyang has already made up his mind to cultivate Xiaoyou with all his might, and it will not be long before the battle around the next big successor in the sect will definitely become fierce and fierce. At that time, not only on Jinhong Mountain, but also in this Liuyun City and even in the entire Haizhou, most of the forces that are large and small and dependent on the Lingxiao Sect will also have to express their attitude and choose sides. In such a situation, at least in the next ten years, our Xu family will not have any outstanding talents, so it is natural to choose the person we believe in the most, and the whole person, of course, is Xiaoyou. ”

Xu Teng nodded slowly, thoughtfully, and after a while, he looked at Mrs. Xu and said, "Mother, although Xiaoyou and we have a good relationship, there are countless talented and handsome people in the sect, you are really optimistic that he can ......"

He didn't say the last few sentences, as if there was something taboo, but the meaning of the words was obviously clear. However, to his surprise, Old Madam Xu sighed and said, "It's hard to say." ”

"Just among the young disciples of the same generation as Xiaoyou, there are at least Gan Ze and Zhong Qingzhu, two young people whose momentum is not weaker than him at all, and even surpasses, not to mention that there are three outstanding heroes and talents above him. ”

Xu Teng frowned and said, "Then let's ...... It's too risky to support Xiaoyou so fully. ”

Old Madam Xu suddenly smiled faintly and said, "I only said that our Xu family fully supports Xiaoyou, why did you ever say that you would take the risk of breaking the door and losing your family to gamble?"

Xu Teng's body was shocked, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he stared at Old Madam Xu tightly, and said, "What do you mean......"

Old Madam Xu glanced at him and sighed: "After all, Xiaoyou and we are blood relatives, and if he can succeed, it will be in the greatest interest to our Xu family, so when you can support him in the future, you will do everything you need to do." But when it comes to the time when the risk is extremely difficult to decide, you must put our Xu family's foundation first. ”

Xu Teng stood up, took a deep breath, and said, "The child understands." ”

※※※

The sunlight poured down from outside, shining through the windows on the floor of this hall, and suddenly there was a silence in the hall, and the atmosphere was slightly subtle and faintly chilly.

Xu Teng seemed to be a little unaccustomed to this, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, as if he wanted to get rid of this somewhat strange atmosphere, so he laughed, broke the silence, and said to Old Madam Xu: "Mother, speaking of which, there are many young disciples in the sect who are qualified to chase the big position, and we can see it now, there are Ling Xiao Sanjian and Gan Ze, Zhong Qingzhu and Xiaoyou, so many talents, but I don't know which one you are most optimistic about?"

"Du Tiejian. ”

"Huh?" Xu Teng didn't seem to expect Old Madam Xu to answer so decisively, he was stunned for a moment, and then frowned: "Why is he? Isn't it always said that this person is arrogant and uninhibited, although he is extremely talented in cultivation, but he has no ability to operate, and no family has been willing to attach himself to it for many years, how can he inherit the throne?"

"Stupid!" Old Madam Xu scolded Xu Teng unceremoniously, and then sneered, "Have you forgotten who his master is?"

"It's the real person who teaches Huaiyuan......"

"That's it, the master in charge of the sect has been in charge of the sect for so many years, and his power has long been deep-rooted, except for a Taishi uncle, Patriarch Huoye, who can be on an equal footing with him by virtue of his seniority, even those who are as arrogant as Sun Mingyang must also be subservient to him. Du Tiejian has this thigh, why should the family be attached to? To put it mildly, it has been clear that over the years, countless large and small family forces in Haizhou have wanted to slap him, but they were just rejected by Du Tiejian. ”

"Then Xiaoyou still has a chance?"

"It's hard, but there's still a chance. Among the six people of the younger generation, do you find that except for Du Tiejian, the remaining five people all have more or less the background of my family. ”

Xu Teng raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you mean ......?"

Old Madam Xu sighed, and for some reason, suddenly the tiredness on her face suddenly became much thicker, and even there was a faint self-deprecation in her expression, and she said in a low voice:

"What else? If you really can't compete for such heroes, it's better to attack them in groups, and it's not the first time this kind of thing has been done anyway. ”
