With cannon fodder, become the best in the world

Chapter 163 Internal Response

"Father! Second aunt's maiden family is from Jimo. If you treat her maiden family like this, she may or may not forgive us." Xiao Jingyi said. The wife of the second branch of the Xiao family is from Jimo. The second branch also has a daughter, who is Xiao Jingyi's cousin Xiao Yiyi. Only orphans and widows are left in the second branch. But because the second branch's wife is from Jimo, the Xiao family does not dare to look down on her.

"She is a woman who belongs to the Xiao family after marrying into the family. If she knows what's best for her, she will be allowed to stay in the Xiao family without worries about food and clothing. If she doesn't know what's best for her, then she can ...

Xiao Jingyi had never seen his father like this before, and he suddenly felt extremely strange.

"Jingyi, if you can't bear to attack the Jimo family, then you don't need to get involved in this matter. As for Jimo Zhiqiu, when the Jimo family is gone, if you feel sorry for her, you can take her in as a concubine, and no one will say anything." The head of the Xiao family waved his hand at Xiao Jingyi, "You can go down."

Xiao Jingyi said anxiously: "Father, we can't betray our promise..."

Patriarch Xiao looked serious and said to the two monks beside him, "Take him away and keep him under strict watch. We cannot let him mess up the plan no matter what."

Xiao Jingyi was dragged down by two monks. He was locked in his room. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He had to find a way to notify Jimo's family. When he opened the door, he saw the two monks guarding the door with fierce looks on their faces, so he had to return to the room.

Then he saw a little mouse coming in through the crack in the door, rolled up the note, stuffed the note into the mouse's cheek, and let the mouse out.

The accomplice that Elder Zuiri mentioned turned out to be Xiao Jingyi, and Xiao'er didn't even know about this.

The original accomplice was the ferocious-looking gatekeeper monk at the door, otherwise the little rat would not have been able to run back to Jimo's house from the Xiao family.

Outside the conference hall, a graceful woman in yellow walked in. That woman was Jimo Zhiqiu. Jimo Zhiqiu was engaged to Xiao Jingyi. Both of them were not young anymore and had planned to get married at the end of the year. Although they disliked each other, Jimo Zhiqiu also disliked Xiao Jingyi and had been thinking about how to break up the engagement. Now that Xiao Jingyi had teamed up with outsiders to deal with the Jimo family, she had an excuse. Although Xiao Jingyi had always given in to her many times when they fought, Jimo Zhiqiu thought that a marriage partner who dared to plot against the Jimo family was absolutely unacceptable.

"Greetings to the head of the family and the elders." As soon as Jimo Zhiqiu came in, he sat on a chair beside him and looked at everyone present with a faint gaze.

You bunch of old guys who are obsessed with profit, I want to see what you are trying to do. Anyway, she is a girl, and if she occasionally interjects inappropriate words, it can only be attributed to her youthful ignorance.

As a woman, Jimo Zhiqiu was not eligible to participate in the family succession trial, unless there was no male child born in this generation. Jimo Zhiqiu had no interest in the position of successor, nor did she want to be involved in the vortex of power struggle. She just wanted to practice well, and she planned to find a sect that killed husbands to prove the truth, and practice the ruthless way.

Jimo looked towards Jimo Zhiqiu, "Zhiqiu, the Xiao family and Lin Bufan have partnered up. It seems that your engagement..."

Jimo Zhiqiu took a sip of the tea on the table and said, "The Xiao family was the first to break their promise. Now it's not us who want to cancel the engagement, but they want the engagement. So this matter is entirely up to the head of the family and the elders."

If Xiao Jingyi is unwilling to cancel the engagement... then you can use him as a tool to kill her husband to prove her faith.

Jimo Zhiqiu didn't care.

The elder said: "It would be best if Miss Zhiqiu could understand things."

Elder Zui Ri said: "I saw Miss Zhiqiu and Xiao Jingyi getting along well before, and I always thought that Miss Zhiqiu and Xiao Jingyi were in love with each other."

I didn't expect that we would break up so easily.

Jimo Zhiqiu paused, then looked up at Elder Zuiri, "Elder, you usually stay in the back mountain and rarely come out. My relationship with Xiao Jingyi is not as good as the elders think."

"I come out once a month." Elder Zui Ri said. Every time he came out, he could see Jimo Zhiqiu and Xiao Jingyi getting along with each other. They were always flirting with each other. Although they both had some injuries on their bodies.

Jimo Zhiqiu frowned and talked nonsense.

Elder Zuiri said again: "Miss Zhiqiu, I have a plan to solve the family crisis."

"What?" Jimo Zhiqiu knew that Elder Zui Ri was the cultivator with the strongest beast-controlling ability in the family, and the family's information network was under the charge of Elder Zui Ri.

Elder Zuiri looked at Jimo Zhiqiu and said earnestly, "Among the young disciples of this generation, Miss Zhiqiu is the only daughter. If Miss Zhiqiu fights hard, she can also enter the trial ground in the back mountain."

"Elder Zuiri, just say whatever you want to say." Jimo Yu coughed lightly and waved at Zuiri.

Zuiri stroked his beard and spoke slowly: "Miss Zhiqiu has a good relationship with the young master of the Xiao family. Miss Zhiqiu will go to the Xiao family to pay a visit."

The third elder slammed the table and said angrily, "Zui Ri, what nonsense are you talking about? The Xiao family is obviously against my Jimo family. You let Zhiqiu go to the Xiao family. Isn't this like a sheep walking into the tiger's mouth?"

Zuiri ignored the Third Elder's anger and looked at Jimo Zhiqiu meaningfully, "Miss Zhiqiu, are you willing to go to the Xiao family? The Jimo family and the Xiao family have been friends for so many years, it is impossible for them to break up with our Jimo family just because of Lin Bufan."

Jimo Zhiqiu slowly put down the teacup in his hand, "Elder Zuiri, how confident are you that I can go to the Xiao family to persuade them?"

Zuiri said: "As long as Miss Zhiqiu goes to the Xiao family, she will naturally be able to persuade the Xiao family to give up on dealing with the Jimo family."

Jimo Zhiqiu's eyes were deep, and he lowered his eyes and thought for a long time.

Jimo Yu on the side sighed and said, "If Zhiqiu doesn't want to, then forget it. Now that the demons are attacking the city, the cultivators in the city can still resist for a while. If it really doesn't work, we can activate the dragon-slaying formation left by our ancestors and release the monsters in the forbidden area. We can always resist a bit."

The Great Elder said with a serious expression: "Master, do not release the monsters in the forbidden area unless it is absolutely necessary."

Jimo looked helpless, "It seems that my Jimo family is destined to have this disaster. I was injured by the evil cultivator before, and now the city is besieged by the demons. I am afraid that my Jimo family has been targeted for a long time."

"Master, why do you think they are targeting the Jimo family?" the second elder asked puzzledly.

Jimo Yu said: "It's all for the ancient heritage of the trial ground in the back mountain."

Xian Yu thought for a moment and looked at Jimo Yu, "Master, the ancient inheritance of the back mountain trial ground has not appeared in many generations of heir trials. Even if they break through the city and break into the back mountain trial ground, they can't get the ancient inheritance."
