The son-in-law of the first wealthy family

"Go for refuge?"

Even though Xia Houxiong had already guessed the plan of the Xiao family, he did not expect the Patriarch of the Xiao family to say it so directly. It was as if he was clearly saying that he wanted the Xiahou family to accept them.

A trace of embarrassment flashed in the eyes of the Patriarch of the Xiao family, and then he nodded firmly.

If it wasn't for the things that happened at Shangguan's house, he wouldn't put down his status and say such things.

It is precisely because of the experience in the Shangguan family that the head of the Xiao family only wants to keep the Xiao family now. As long as they can keep the status of the Xiao family, then sooner or later they will have a comeback.

The Patriarch of the Xiao family knew very well that their Xiao family's current status could be said to be somewhat precarious. The Xiao family without an ancestor in charge was like a tiger without teeth.

Although, for those small families, the Xiao family still dare not move, but their hidden family is not only his Xiao family.

In the past, the Xiao family was the head of the hermit family, so it was naturally very beautiful. At that time, the Xiao family acted domineeringly, but offended many small families, and even other hermit families were also dissatisfied with the Xiao family.

If his Xiao family can't be blessed by the families in this holy land this time, then sooner or later they will be divided up by those families, and those people will not give the Xiao family a chance to get back together.

So now the Patriarch of the Xiao family doesn't care what face he has, as long as he can get the blessing of the Holy Land family and protect the Xiao family.

Xia Houxiong couldn't help pondering for a while. In fact, taking the Xiao family back would have no effect on their Xiahou family, but this kind of matter is not up to him. Xia Houxiong thought for a while before he said to the Xiao family.

"Actually, I still have a good impression of your Xiao family, especially your son Xiao Xuanren's talent is excellent. I have never received a suitable disciple. This time, I will definitely help you with the matter of your Xiao family."

Speaking of this, Xia Houxiong deliberately paused for a while, then stood up and said: "However, this old man can't decide on the matter of blessing, so I will go to see the patriarch and see what the patriarch means."

After Xia Houxiong finished speaking, he got up and walked out, without giving the Xiao family any time to react.

After Xia Houxiong went out, the Patriarch of the Xiao family came to his senses and turned to look at his son.

He has always felt that his son is very good, and Xiao Xuanren has always been by Xiao Dongfeng's side before. Although the two of them do not have the title of master and apprentice, Xiao Xuanren's cultivation base is all guided by Xiao Dongfeng Started next.

Listening to Xia Houxiong's meaning now, it seems that he wants to take Xiao Xuanren as his disciple, but the head of the Xiao family remembers that when Xiao Xuanren was still young, Xiao Dongfeng brought Xiao Xuanren to see Xia Houxiong, just wanting to accept Xiao Xuanren as his disciple. He wanted Xia Houxiong to accept Xiao Xuanren as his apprentice, but Xia Houxiong refused at that time.

For cultivators like them, the younger the apprentices, the better. This talent can be tested at a very young age, and it will be easier to accept apprentices when they are young, and it will be easier to teach them.

Although it is not that no one is accepted as an apprentice by an expert after they have grown up, it is the case that the two have not met each other before they met.

Xia Houxiong suddenly said that he wanted to take Xiao Xuanren as his apprentice, which seemed a bit strange, the Patriarch of the Xiao family couldn't help but look at his son.

The other elders of the Xiao family were a little surprised when Xia Houxiong said that he wanted to take Xiao Xuanren as his disciple, but they were more excited.

From Xiahouxiong's tone, it can be heard that the Xiahou family accepted the Xiao family for a reason. It doesn't matter what the reason is, as long as the Xiao family can get the protection of the Xiahou family. What's more, Xiahouxiong's words just now can give them face. .

What they said was defection, and Xia Houxiong used asylum to save face for them. Thinking about it, even if the Xiao family became a subsidiary of Xia Hou's family, the days to come would not be too sad.

Xiao Xuanren also felt a little strange that Xia Houxiong wanted to accept him as an apprentice. He still vaguely remembered that when he was a child, when he came to see Xiahouxiong with his ancestor, Xiahouxiong once said that he had no fate as a mentor and apprentice.

Although the Xiao family is now in decline, there is no harm in accepting the Xiao family's words at this time, but the matter of accepting apprentices seems a bit weird.

When the Patriarch of the Xiao Family looked over, Xiao Xuanren lowered his voice and said: "No changes should be made, the Patriarch is tight now."

Hearing Xiao Xuanren's words, the Patriarch of the Xiao Family felt a little relieved. It seemed that Xiao Xuanren had really grown up and had learned to put the Patriarch before himself.

The Patriarch of the Xiao Family believes that as long as Xiao Xuan is given time, one day, he will bring the Xiao Family back to the peak, and it is unknown if they will even reach a higher level.

But now the most important thing is to keep the Xiao family, so even if Xia Houxiong asks Xiao Xuanren to worship him as a teacher, the head of the Xiao family will not object. Be careful.

And here, Xiahouxiong also found Xiahoujun, the patriarch of the Xiahou family. As the patriarch of the Xiahou family, Xiahoujun is only at the level of a fairy god, and he can't even reach the level of a half-step palm master, but this person's wrists are excellent. He managed the entire Xiahou's house in an orderly manner.

It is precisely because Xiahou Jun puts all his thoughts on taking care of the family, so even if the resources are excellent, the progress of this cultivation base is still slow, but no one in the Xiahou family will underestimate Xiahoujun.

When Xia Houjun knew that Xia Houxiong was looking for him, he immediately put down what he was doing and got up to meet him.

No matter how you say it, Xiahouxiong is also a master of cultivation, he is the ancestor of the Xiahou family, and one of the foundations of the Xiahou family. Naturally, Xiahou's army will give him enough courtesy.

After welcoming Xiahouxiong in, Xiahoujun made people serve tea, and then looked at Xiahouxiong with a smile on his face.

"The ancestor is not receiving the Xiao family, but what request did the Xiao family make?"

Xiahouxiong's character is relatively straightforward, so Xiahoujun naturally wouldn't make any detours with him.

Xia Houxiong was not at all surprised that Xia Houjun could guess his purpose, and said with a smile: "Then the Xiao family wants to get our protection."

Xia Houjun immediately raised his eyebrows, feeling surprised.

"Then what do you mean, Patriarch?"

Xia Houxiong laughed: "I don't think it's anything, just take it as a watchdog, but I'm a little interested in Xiao Xuanren, and I want to keep him."

This made Xia Houjun suddenly feel a little surprised: "Xiao Xuanblade?"

Xia Houxiong smiled and nodded: "I think that kid is interesting."

Xia Houjun frowned immediately, although the Xiao family seems to be in decline now, but this Xiao Xuanren is also the young master of the Xiao family, if Xia Houxiong does something to Xiao Xuanren, the Xiao family may not be happy either. Will let it go.
