29: He is worthy of being my father, he really beat me unconscious!

"Father, Elders, there is no need to be like this, this is what I should do."

After raising his hand to stop their actions, Xiao Chen smiled faintly and waved his hand.

Although he had transmigrated, from the moment he arrived in this world, the Xiao Family had been his root in this world.

Moreover, the strength of one person is ultimately not true strength.

Only when the people around him become strong together can he truly look down upon this world.

Otherwise, if he unfortunately encountered any accidents in the future, there wouldn't even be someone he could rely on by his side.

That would truly be too tragic.

"There is nothing you should or shouldn't do..."

After Xiao Chen finished speaking, Xiao Zhan suddenly shook his head, his voice filled with emotion.

"Although you are a member of the Xiao Family, you possess a heaven-defying opportunity."

"Originally, you could have used a little kindness and favor to repay the Xiao Family's nurturing grace, and from then on, soar through the nine heavens like a dragon, severing all karma."

"But you did not do that, instead, you selflessly dedicated yourself to the Xiao Family."

"All of this, we old fellows have seen with our own eyes and kept in our hearts."

After a pause, Xiao Zhan patted Xiao Chen's shoulder, continuing with a resolute voice.

"We cannot promise you anything here, but the Xiao Family will absolutely not hold you back in the future."

"If you encounter any trouble in the future, the Xiao Family will burn its last drop of blood for you!"

Although Xiao Mingyi and Xiao Delong and others beside them said nothing, their eyes expressed everything.

Xiao Chen had shown them such great kindness and virtue; in the future, even if they were asked to die, they would absolutely have no complaints!

And Xiao Chen, listening from the side, fell silent, his heart unable to help but ripple slightly.

His initial idea.

He just wanted to invest well in the Xiao Family, building an invincible family to facilitate his control of the world in the future.

But as he interacted more with Xiao Zhan and the others, he also developed a sense of belonging to this family.

The Xiao Family... is indeed worth cultivating!

"Alright, let's not talk about emotional things. What do you want to do next? We will fully cooperate with you."

Seeing Xiao Chen suddenly stunned in place, looking very moved, Xiao Zhan smiled faintly and patted the other's shoulder.

"Okay, the remaining resources I have are enough to allow three or four people to undergo transformation. As for the spots, you can decide."

Xiao Chen nodded upon hearing this, and then changed the subject.

"Hahaha, the few of us decided on this long ago. Each of our Great Elders gets one spot, which is why I knocked this kid out and brought him over."

After Xiao Chen finished speaking, Xiao Delong immediately laughed heartily.

Then, he lifted the unconscious Xiao Ming and brought him before Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen's gaze fell upon Xiao Ming upon hearing this, and then he activated the appraisal function to check.

"Martial arts talent is only Yellow Rank mid-grade, no wonder he felt inferior in the Xiao Family..."

After checking Xiao Ming's talent.

Xiao Chen didn't waste any time either. He squatted down, pressed his hand on the other's chest, and then ordered the system.

"System, upgrade his talent to Earth Rank high-grade!"

"Ding! The system has deducted six thousand eight hundred points, currently upgrading the talent for character Xiao Ming..."

As the system prompt fell, a dazzling white light also shone forth.

In just a moment.

Xiao Ming's martial arts talent was upgraded from Yellow Rank mid-grade to Earth Rank high-grade.

"That's enough..."

"I have already cleansed his marrow and refined his veins once. His talent should have reached the Earth Rank level."

"As long as he is properly guided in the future, he is enough to cultivate to the Nirvana Realm."

Looking at the still unconscious Xiao Ming, Xiao Chen smiled faintly and withdrew his right hand.

"Hahaha, I will definitely discipline this kid more in the future and not let down your painstaking efforts today!"

Xiao Delong laughed heartily upon hearing this and lifted Xiao Ming up again.

However, upon seeing signs of Xiao Ming waking up, he chopped his hand heavily on the other's neck, a posture that made the corner of Xiao Chen's mouth twitch involuntarily.

As expected of a biological father, he really knocked him out!

"There are two more people next..."

As he spoke, Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Mingyi and Xiao Chixiong, a look of confusion appearing on his face.

Each of these Great Elders gets one spot, so they should presumably be their own children.

The Third Elder has already knocked out his son and brought him over, but where are the children of the other two Great Elders?

"Cough, the spots for the two of us are for our respective daughters."

"However, given that they are girls, it's not convenient to knock them out and carry them."

"So, we both knocked them out and left them in their rooms."

"Next, I'll have to trouble Xiao Chen to make a trip to their rooms to help them cleanse their marrow and refine their veins."

Seeing Xiao Chen's confused gaze.

Xiao Mingyi and Xiao Chixiong also realized, and the former coughed dryly, speaking somewhat awkwardly.

After speaking, their gazes were still somewhat evasive, as if they had done something bad.

"..."

Xiao Chen fell silent again upon hearing this. For some reason, he had a bad premonition.

It seemed like these two were plotting against him, but it also seemed like that wasn't the case.

After all, Xiao Mingyi and Xiao Chixiong had both been secretly bound by the system's contract, so they wouldn't have any thoughts of harming him.

However, looking at their strange behavior, he always felt that something was off.

"Alright then, let's go to Mei'er Jie's place first..."

Shaking his head, Xiao Chen didn't bother to think too much and replied.

After speaking, Xiao Chen was about to turn and leave, planning to go to Xiao Meier's room.

"No, we should go to my daughter's place first!"

Just then.

Xiao Chixiong, who had been silent all along, suddenly blurted out a sentence, instantly leaving Xiao Chen dumbfounded again.

He could only turn back and look at Xiao Chixiong with a confused face, hoping for an explanation.

"Cough, my daughter's room is a bit closer to here, so let's cleanse that girl's marrow and refine her veins first."

"Xiao Second, you're farting!"

Before Xiao Chen could say anything upon hearing this, Xiao Mingyi couldn't hold back.

"The rooms of these two are seventy zhang away from Xiao Chen's courtyard, symmetrically located on the left and right. Where did you get the idea that your daughter's place is closer?"

Shameless Xiao Second!

He actually wants to get ahead; how can he be allowed to succeed!

"Xiao Mingyi, there's only one chance, I won't yield to you!"

Roared at by Xiao Mingyi's loud voice, Xiao Chixiong was not afraid at all and immediately rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight.

If Xiao Meier was insensible and ruined Xiao Chen's mood.

Or if the other party was too fierce and made Xiao Chen lose interest, what would his daughter do then?

Therefore, whoever goes first has a greater chance!

This is a great opportunity to turn Xiao Chen into a son-in-law, and he absolutely cannot let this old fellow benefit from it easily.

"Why are you two arguing?"

Seeing Xiao Mingyi and Xiao Chixiong's unusual behavior, Xiao Chen couldn't help but frown, a suspicious look appearing on his face.

It's just cleansing marrow and refining veins, what difference does it make who goes first?

What is there to argue about in this matter?!

"Alright, alright, you two disrespectful old fellows, Xiao Chen can decide which room he wants to go to first. What kind of manners is this, arguing like this in front of a junior?!"

Xiao Zhan, who was beside them, saw through it but didn't expose them, muttering with some annoyance.

After his words fell.

Xiao Mingyi and Xiao Chixiong saw that Xiao Chen was getting suspicious, and both showed awkward smiles, not daring to argue anymore.

"So inexplicable..."

Looking at the two of them being so jumpy, Xiao Chen touched his nose and walked towards Xiao Meier's room with a speechless expression.

"Old fellow, I hope your daughter doesn't mess things up!"

Looking at Xiao Chen's retreating back, Xiao Chixiong gritted his teeth and whispered to Xiao Mingyi.

"Heh heh, she won't."

Xiao Mingyi smiled lewdly upon hearing this, a smug look on his face.

"I spent a lot of effort convincing that girl what to do. This matter will definitely be foolproof."

"As long as Xiao Chen lifts the blanket and sees... Cough cough cough."

As he spoke, as if realizing he had let slip, Xiao Mingyi quickly coughed a few times to cover up.

"Anyway, children have their own destinies. Whether this matter can succeed or not still depends on their fate."

Xiao Chixiong showed a look of contempt upon hearing this, not expecting this old fellow to be so shameless. Why didn't he think of that point?

He truly missed a good opportunity.

However, given how well-behaved his daughter is and her good feelings towards Xiao Chen, she should take the initiative.

Xiao Delong, who was beside them, saw the two of them being sneaky and clearly realized something.

A look of heartache appeared on his face, regretting that he hadn't given birth to a daughter, now unable to participate in this good thing.

What's the use of these sons?

As his mood grew more and more depressed, he slapped Xiao Ming on the head, feeling slightly better in his heart.
