This Void Devouring Flame seems a bit strange

Two days passed quickly.

In the past two days, Xuwu Tunyan has taught Yu Xiao some music-related knowledge, so that it will be easier for him to master the rhythm. And the mastery of the rhythm can ensure that when practicing the "Netherworld Sound Wave Power", he can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

He was also quite satisfied with Yu Xiao's performance. He had only taught him the basics, but now Yu Xiao could sing according to his own music scores.

"Okay, let's try this one today."

Xuwu Tunyan was holding a piece of music, while Yu Xiao, based on the knowledge he had learned before, sang the beautiful music in a somewhat awkward but very serious way.

On the other hand, the medicinal herbs that Xiao Ning had been thinking about day and night finally arrived. He was very concerned about this and couldn't wait to take the herbs back home with a few brothers.

"Hurry, hurry! Mix this, this, and this together and stuff them together!" In a warehouse of the Xiao family, Xiao Ning was anxiously directing his younger brothers to make the Soul-Intoxicating Smoke. Fortunately, the production of this kind of incense was not difficult. Otherwise, not to mention that the Xiao family had no way to hire a pharmacist, even if they did, the price would probably make Xiao Ning and the Great Elder bleed.

These guys were quite efficient and soon all the herbs they had bought were used up.

Looking at the pile of Drunken Soul cigarettes, Xiao Ning was quite satisfied. Now, he was just waiting for good news from his grandfather.

In the Xiao family's meeting room.

"Great Elder! What do you mean by this?" Xiao Zhan glared at the three elders in front of him and the Xiao family members behind them, and asked while suppressing his anger.

"Clan leader, you know very well that ever since we had a feud with the Yunlan Sect, our current situation has been getting worse day by day. The root cause of this matter..."

"You want to say it's Yan'er's fault, right?" Xiao Zhan didn't hesitate to interrupt the elder. "If you want to use this as an excuse, then you don't take me seriously enough."

“That’s not the case.” The Great Elder had a forced smile on his face. He had thought of using this to “impeach” Xiao Zhan, but after all, this was not his main purpose right now. “Xiao Yan is full of vigor and vitality, so it’s inevitable that he would do something out of line…”

"So? Since you are not here to hold me accountable for Yan'er's matter, then why don't you make your words clearer?"

Xiao Zhan's face did not relax, especially the word "out of line" made his blood pressure rise a little. Out of line, people are taking advantage of me, my son is trying to restore the dignity of both father and son, but in your eyes it is "out of line"?

"Xiao Yan's behavior is indeed understandable, but Xu Yan may have gone a little too far."

Xiao Zhan was certainly not stupid enough to think that without Void Devouring Flame mocking Nalan Yanran and Yunlan Sect, or even threatening Ge Ye, the Xiao family would be in a better situation than it is now. He simply sneered, "So what? What the Great Elder is saying is that if Xu Yan hadn't said such rude things, our situation would be better than it is now? I'm afraid that's not the case."

Anyone can see that what really put the Xiao family in an awkward situation was the Yun Lan Sect's request to cancel the engagement, which dealt a heavy blow to the Xiao family's prestige. As for Xiao Yan's divorce letter and Xu Wu Tun Yan's instigation, they were just episodes. Xiao Zhan also realized that the Great Elder's purpose was probably not this.

"So we hope that the clan leader can invite Xu Yan to come and give us an explanation for his previous extreme behavior that we can accept."

Xiao Zhan understood what was going on. Although the elder was being polite and wanted to "explain", Xiao Zhan knew that this "explanation" was certainly not a verbal one. He was probably trying to make Xu Yan pay a large sum of money to "compensate for the loss". He also wanted him to be the first to do so.

What a good plan! After Xiao Zhan figured it out, his tone became even colder: "Mr. Xu Yan left without saying goodbye after treating Yan'er. I have no way to find him. Maybe he is no longer in Wutan City."

"Didn't he accept Yu Xiao as his disciple? As a master, he should be teaching his disciple at this time. How could he not be in Wutan City?" A smile appeared on the face of the Great Elder, the kind of smile that made people uncomfortable just by looking at it.

"This was unanimously approved by our three elders. Even if you are the clan leader, you have no right to reject it." The second elder added.

"Then aren't you afraid of angering him?" Xiao Zhan laughed in anger, "The other party can easily subdue a great fighting master. May I ask the three elders, if he is angered, what measures will you take to deal with it?"

"That's why you, clan leader, need to come in person." The great elder said with a "kind" smile, "Although Xu Yan is willful, he seems to be very kind to you and Xiao Yan. This matter must be handled by you."

"And we have sought the opinions of our tribesmen, and they all agree with this decision." The third elder seemed to see no chance for him to speak, so he quickly interrupted.

Xiao Zhan glanced at the people behind the three elders. Most of them were close to them. This time he finally understood what a conspiracy was. As long as he dared not agree, they would immediately take the opportunity to suppress him. But if he agreed and angered Mr. Xu Yan, he would definitely not end up well as a lobbyist.

What a good plan!

But Xiao Zhan also knew that the reason why an open conspiracy is called an open conspiracy is that although it is known that its purpose is not pure, it is difficult to crack. "Okay, I will go and tell him, but the premise is that I can actually meet him by then."

"Don't worry about that. I will follow the clan leader." The great elder replied.

"Tsk, are you worried that I will find an excuse..." Xiao Zhan cursed inwardly, and then said: "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

After saying that, Xiao Zhan didn't care about other people's reactions and left angrily.

That night, in the Great Elder’s room.

"Grandpa, your plan this time is really brilliant!" Xiao Ning said excitedly.

“Hehe, of course. In order to make Xiao Zhan surrender, I even pulled those two people together to explain the pros and cons, and deliberately lured them by saying that if we can get compensation, we can split it equally. They foolishly listened to me and formed an alliance with me.” The Great Elder said proudly, “But they don’t know at all that splitting it equally is fake, and stealing the money is real. Even if we split it equally, we can still get more money, and we can also take the opportunity to frame Xiao Zhan, saying that he and Yu Xiao set up a trap to take it all for himself. Hahaha, by then, he will definitely not be able to sit on the position of clan leader, and that will be our chance!”

"Grandpa is wise!" Xiao Ning flattered him.

"By the way, is the Soul-Intoxicating Cigarette ready?" The Great Elder's face turned serious after he finished being proud. "This is a necessary part of our plan and we can't afford to make any mistakes!"

"Don't worry, Grandpa. I just tried it and it's fine. The psychedelic effect is very good." Xiao Ning patted his chest. "I've also found a few diehard fans to help us. By then, we'll have the money for sure!"

"Okay! Xiao Zhan, ah Xiao Zhan, let's use both our conspiracy and covert strategy. I want to see how you can break the impasse this time! Hehehe..."
