Xiao Sui's eyes flickered, his face turned gloomy, and veins popped out in his clenched palms.

Although his reason told him that Qiao Wan was deliberately driving a wedge between the two brothers, all the past events reflected Qiao Wan's words.

This made Xiao Sui couldn't help but think of a past event.

The eldest brother's biological mother did not die of "illness". She was killed by Xiao Jingzhou, the old head of the Xiao family, who put chronic poisons in food, tea, clothes, jewelry, furniture and other things, and she died day by day.

He shouldn't have known about this in the first place, but when he was thirteen years old, he accidentally overheard it outside his father's study. The purpose was, of course, to carry his mother in, but... Not all because of love, but because of the clan power behind her mother.

But from then on, he felt that he had no chance to face Xiao Huan, and tried every means to please his elder brother.

The eldest brother is so smart. Xiao Sui’s eyes were slightly stunned. It’s impossible that he didn’t know about this.

The previously domineering young man was now visibly wilted. He stared at the mess in a state of despair for a long time, and then he raised his eyes to look at Qiao Wan, with no hostility and murderous intent in his eyes.

"Qiao Wan, you said, if I want to kill you, my eldest brother will definitely come to save you?"

Using the last remaining strength, he pulled out Xiao Sui's sword and threw it to the opponent. Qiao Wan said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, you might as well give it a try."

Looking at the sword in his hand, Xiao Sui remained silent for a long time, and then sneered: "Okay... okay... okay, then I'll give it a try."

The long sword fell suddenly like lightning, instantly illuminating the dark alley.

"If you provoke the relationship between our brothers, you are prepared to die——"

The moment a sword was thrust into Qiao Wan's throat, Xiao Huan's warm and cold voice suddenly sounded from the alley.

Qiao Wan's heart skipped a beat: It's coming!

She was right! !

"Asui! No!"

Is it true? ! Big brother is really here? !

The sword light reflected Xiao Sui's wide-eyed eyes. His wrist was twisted with a backhand, and the long sword in his hand landed at Qiao Wan's feet with a clang.

"Big...brother..."

Xiao Sui stared blankly at Xiao Huan, who was standing in front of Qiao Wan, and muttered for half a second.

What a black-hearted person Xiao Huan is. When he looked at Xiao Sui with evasive eyes, and then at Qiao Wan who came forward to salute, he suddenly understood everything and couldn't help but smile.

"Friend Qiao."

Qiao Wan stepped forward and saluted without blushing: "I have met Young Master Xiao Huan."

The girl in front of her has clear eyes and polite movements. She has a high ponytail tied behind her head and looks slim and graceful. The pink butterfly jade button makes the person look a little more delicate. The butterfly wings reflect the moonlight and are brilliant, with a slight cold light on the edge, like a thin blade that can kill a person within ten steps.

For the first time, Xiao Huan felt slightly complicated.

Unexpectedly, he underestimated the girl in front of him. This was also the first time Xiao Huan took a serious look at Qiao Wan.

The smiling eyes had an imperceptible gleam, and the next second, they smiled warmly.

"Little girl." The young man smiled sincerely, "How many times have you given me trouble?"

"It's not troublesome." Qiao Wan said without even twitching her eyebrows: "The more troublesome thing is yet to come."

The more troublesome thing...is still to come?

At the same time, a familiar old male voice suddenly sounded in his ears, which made Xiao Sui feel slightly uncomfortable.

"Ah Huan, Ah Sui."

Xiao Sui opened his eyes wide and looked over in disbelief: "Dad...Dad!!"

At some point, a group of warriors appeared at the entrance of the alley, surrounding the old man who led them.

Qiao Wan calmly turned around to look at the group of people who suddenly appeared at the entrance of the alley, and suddenly knelt down straight upright.

"Anbu disciple Qiao Wan was ordered by Ma Huaizhen, the master of the Hall of Fame, to come to greet the head of the Xiao family."

This old man is Xiao Jingzhou, the current head of the Xiao family! ! !

In an instant, the surroundings in the short Whooping Crane Alley became miraculously quiet.

Xiao Huan's face changed slightly.

This is Xiao Jingzhou who looks like an ordinary and energetic old man, but his eyes are dark. The Xiao family warriors and Xiao family disciples behind him are standing silently in the dark night.

Without looking at his two sons, Xiao Jingzhou's eyes fell calmly on Qiao Wan.

As if he felt that the broken baskets in front of the alley were blocking the road, the energy in the old man's sleeves surged. With a flick of his sleeves, he immediately shattered the bamboo baskets in front of him, and the bamboo fragments exploded towards Qiao Wan like a rain of arrows. Shoot out.

Qiao Wan quickly stepped back, but still took a step slower. One of the bamboo blades brushed against her skin.

Only a faint red mark was left, and there was no bleeding.

This is not Xiao Jingzhou's mercy, this is the harvest after refining skin and bones.

The disciples of the Xiao family who were accompanying him couldn't help but take a second look.

Xiao Jingzhou's blow can easily penetrate an inch-thick iron plate. This is called... Qiao Wan's? Do you actually have this ability?

Calculating his age, Xiao Jingzhou, the head of the Xiao family, is already over 800 years old. His cultivation is stuck in the late Nascent Soul stage and has stagnated. If he does not improve further, he may only have more than twenty years left. Yuan.

Because of this, Xiao Jingzhou began arranging for his future succession a few years ago.

Different from everyone else Qiao Wan has met, Xiao Jingzhou is an old fox who is truly immersed in power.

After all, he had stabbed a member of the Xiao family with a sword before. Even though Qiao Wan was facing Xiao Jingzhou at this time, he was still a little nervous and his palms were wet with sweat.

After receiving the news that Xiao Sui asked her to attend the appointment, she did not rush to reply but went to the ANBU just for this matter.

A few days ago, after learning that Xiao Jingzhou would arrive today, he made an agreement with Xiao Huan, and then used Xiao Sui to break Mu Xiaoxiao's confession to Zhou Yan. After Xiao Sui sent out the invitation, Then he went to the ANBU, determined the specific time Xiao Jingzhou arrived in Kunshan, guessed the time and place he passed, and finally reached an agreement with Xiao Sui.

In the Anbu, Qiao Wan found Ma Huaizhen and made a request to Ma Huaizhen as a victim of Xiao Sui's conspiracy in Tingyun Mountain.

"As long as the Xiao family cancels their pursuit of me, I will let go of Xiao Sui's frame-up of me at Tingyun Mountain."

The man smiled half-heartedly: "You are so sure that the Xiao family will agree to this deal for you."

Qiao Wan said without thinking: "Weigh the pros and cons, the Xiao family will meet."

Ma Huaizhen agreed to her and asked her to go to Minghe Lane to meet Xiao Jingzhou.

Asking her to pick up Xiao Jingzhou in this embarrassing role is Kunshan's warning to the Xiao family, and Xiao Jingzhou's move just now must be a return gift to "Kunshan".

However, after this back and forth, the Xiao family and Kunshan did reach a certain degree of agreement.

Qiao Wan speculated that there might be some secret between the Xiao family and Kunshan that prompted the two families to form an unbreakable alliance. Even if the situation developed to this point, the two families would tacitly close the door and make this matter a big deal. It's a trivial matter.

Dad! !

As soon as he saw Xiao Jingzhou, Xiao Sui's eyes suddenly lit up and he subconsciously took a step forward.

Xiao Jingzhou is here, which means that sooner or later, whether Qiao Wan or Mu Xiaoxiao...

After all the warnings and "reciprocal gifts" were made, Xiao Jingzhou looked at Qiao Wan and suddenly showed a kind and friendly smile: "Are you Qiao Wan?"

Qiao Wan bowed and saluted: "Junior Qiao Wan has met the head of the Xiao family."

This harmonious atmosphere made Xiao Sui freeze instantly.

The eyes looking at Qiao Wan seemed to say: "You...you are not..."

At this time, Xiao Huan looked like he had seen a ghost.

Aren’t you here for an appointment? ! ! Why did you come here to pick up my dad? !

Qiao Wan’s eyes indicated: Who said you can’t go to two or three appointments at the same time?

"Okay." Xiao Jingzhou laughed, his eyes paused on Qiao Wan, and said with a smile: "That move just now...it is true that a hero comes from a young age."

"Xiao Zongyuan was defeated at your hands." The old man sighed in a calm tone, with no clear meaning, "It's really not a loss."

But with these words, a chill quickly ran down Qiao Wantian's spine.

I don’t know the undercurrents surging between Kunshan and the Xiao family in the past few days, and the other Xiao family disciples have different expressions.

Early before setting off, they had also thought about how the old family master would deal with this Jin Dan who had brought the Xiao family's face down, but they did not expect that it would be like this.

Xiao Jingzhou has a pleasant appearance, while Qiao Wan is neither humble nor overbearing.

One old and one young seemed completely unaware of the surprise on the faces of the Xiao family disciples who were traveling with them.

Knowing how difficult his father was usually, Xiao Sui was completely confused.

This...how is this possible? ! How could his father be so kind to Qiao Wan? ! Is it the way he opens his eyes that's wrong? !

Xiao Jingzhou has great prestige in the Xiao family. No matter how kind an old man Xiao Jingzhou is now, he is still a man who can ruthlessly kill his own brothers, poison his own wife, and have been the head of the Xiao family for hundreds of years. A ruthless character.

Although Xiao Sui was at a loss and his eyelashes trembled slightly, he lowered his head a little. He didn't dare to look at Xiao Jingzhou at all, let alone someone like Qiao Wan who dared to talk to Xiao Jingzhou calmly and without being haughty.

Xiao Huan glanced slightly sideways, his eyes falling on Qiao Wan, and he was a little more surprised, but then his mind was slightly shuddered because of Xiao Jingzhou's gaze on his face.

This look was not the look a father would give his son, Xiao Huan chuckled.

Now, he finally understood this little girl’s other intention.

Not only is it to drive a wedge between the two brothers, but it also has no intention of letting him go.

According to Xiao Jingzhou's cautious and suspicious temperament, there is no need to guess what his father is thinking. Xiao Huan is also thinking like Ming Jing.

You were able to control your brother before, but you didn't. Your intention was to destroy the relationship between Asui and Kunshan, sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and increase your leverage for your rise to power. Now save your brother when I come. Isn't this a clear show to me?

Xiao Jingzhou didn't like him because he knew that his son was evil-hearted, yet he still pretended to be kind and calm.

It's strange to say that he obviously has this temperament, but he doesn't like his son to be like him.

In the final analysis, he is still afraid. He has more than 20 years of longevity left. As long as he does not take the initiative to step down, even his own son cannot take the initiative of the family head.

Xiao Huan, who looked down on Mu Xiaoxiao and couldn't say how much he looked up to Qiao Wan, really wanted to smile bitterly at this moment.

But he is not the worst one.

Xiao Huan lowered his eyes slightly.

Mu Xiaoxiao just happened to have plotted against his junior sister. Both the Xiao family and Kunshan wanted to expose this matter. It happened that they could explain to the outside world that Xiao Sui was bewitched by Mu Xiaoxiao. As for Mu Xiaoxiao, she took the initiative to confess her love in the first place. It was she who deliberately hooked up with her mentor, and it became clear that Xiao Sui was deceived by her.

When the time comes, Kunshan and Mu Xiaoxiao’s original backers, the Xiao family, will inevitably target her and push her to take the blame.

Xiao Jingzhou would not spare Ah Sui lightly, let alone him.

I didn’t expect that Qiao Wan would benefit from this farce in the end.
