Out of the Master's Family, Never Coming Back!

Several people who already knew what was going on lowered their heads after hearing Xiao Yi's words.

Even Xiao Ze was brought up, so how could they dare to say anything? Now that Xiao Yi knew everything, anything they said would be wrong and would only intensify the punishment.

Even the four elders would be punished for this matter!

"Xiao Qing, speak." Seeing that they were all silent, Xiao Yi continued speaking with a gloomy expression.

"The four family elders protected Xiao Liangxiao, Xiao Liuyuan, and Xiao Ze. They didn't tell the family leader about their punishment and tried to let them escape punishment. According to the family rules, they will be expelled from the family if they aren't punished!"

Upon hearing this, the four elders looked at Xiao Yi and wanted to say something. But when they saw Xiao Yi's eyes, they didn't dare to say a word.

Although the four of them were also elders of the Xiao family, they knew very well that the Xiao family didn't know about this incident.

The Xiao family had many elders in the past, but the power these elders held in the Xiao family wasn't even as high as the family leader!

Moreover, the family leader was right here. What else could they say?

There were only five elders in the Xiao family after they were kicked out of the main family. Xiao Yi wouldn't do that, so they wouldn't be able to escape the hundred lashes of a whip.

The Thorn Whip punishment was more severe than the iron rod punishment, but they could bear it. However, as family elders, how could they be respected by the family after receiving 100 lashes?

'Protect?' Xiao Canglan gazed at Xiao Qing. 'As the Family Leader, I knew nothing about this!'

Xiao Muling tugged at Xiao Canglan's sleeve and shook her head gently. 'I'll tell you later. I'll settle them first!'

Xiao Canglan nodded, and his restless heart calmed down because of Xiao Muling. 'Since Ling'er has already spoken, I shall wait and see.'

Xiao Liuce stared at Xiao Liangxiao in confusion. 'What did she do to deserve punishment? What did she do to make people catch her? And she even went to the elders?'

Xiao Liangxiao's face turned pale, and she remained silent. She had initially thought that there was a glimmer of hope, but now that the four family elders were going to be punished, her last hope was completely shattered!

"Continue!" Seeing Xiao Qing stop speak, Xiao Yi looked over.

Xiao Qing coughed and continued, "Xiao Liangxiao was punished according to the elders' orders. She was to kneel for five days and reflect on her mistakes for ten days, but she was injured some time ago and didn't do it. But if she wishes to escape punishment, she will be imprisoned for half a year according to the family rules. Nobody is allowed to visit her!"

Xiao Liuce's hand trembled, and he agitatedly stood up. "This won't do. Xiao'er will enter the Realm of Summoning in two months!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at him, and the surroundings fell silent.

Xiao Liuce's face twitched before he realized what he'd said, and he wished for nothing more than to lose his tongue. He said this because he admitted that Xiao'er wanted to escape punishment!

Xiao Muling lowered her eyelids to hide the smile in her eyes.

"Father means that I have no intention of escaping punishment!" Xiao Liangxiao said with a pale face.

"I am not blind," Xiao Canglan replied coldly. He could tell if she wanted to escape punishment. 'If Xiao Yi hadn't caused such a mess today, I—the family head—wouldn't have gotten involved in this mess! They really hid themselves well!'

Xiao Liangxiao wanted to say something, but she swallowed her words when she saw Xiao Canglan's gloomy face.

Now that they were in the wrong, it was better to speak less.

"As for Xiao Liuyuan and Xiao Ze, they should've received a hundred iron rods. Now, they should be expelled from the main family after receiving a hundred iron rods and never be recalled!" Xiao Qing continued.

'Never to be recalled!' When these words fell into Xiao Liuyuan's ears, he suddenly turned around. "No—"

'To be kicked out of the main family after receiving a hundred iron rods, this is akin to killing us! Even if we are lucky enough to survive and never return to the main family, what future will we have?'

"Chief, this is their punishment." Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Canglan and cupped his hands.

"Elder Xiao Yi!" Before Xiao Canglan could say anything, Xiao Liuce hurriedly walked out. "No, Xiao'er is the family's hope, the only person in this generation who can become a Summoner!"

Xiao Liuce quickly brought this up. 'No matter what, I can't let Xiao'er be punished. The Realm of Summoning cares about its reputation the most. If they know that Xiao'er got into trouble at home before going, what would happen if the Realm of Summoning was affected!?'

"No wonder Xiao Liangxiao is the future family leader. Father, you are still the family leader, and you didn't say anything. Yet, Xiao Liangxiao's father already said 'no.'" Xiao Muling's cold voice rang out clearly in everyone's ears.

Everyone except Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Muling. 'Xiao Liangxiao, the future family leader?'

Xiao Canglan held back his anger and glared at Xiao Liuce. If Xiao Muling weren't here, he was afraid that he would've already erupted in anger.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Xiao Liuce berated.

"You, shut up!" Xiao Canglan ordered in a low voice, and the pressure swept toward Xiao Liuce! 'I'm right here. Does Xiao Liuce still want to attack Ling'er?'

When Xiao Liuce felt this pressure, his aura immediately weakened as panic flashed across his eyes.

"Sister Ling'er, how could you slander me!" Xiao Liangxiao hurriedly walked out and tried to change the topic. 'Xiao Muling's words are simply ridiculous. Among the people present, who will believe her words other than the family leader? Since she has given me a chance to change the topic, I won't let it go!'

"Elder Xiao Yi, am I slandering her?" Xiao Muling looked at Xiao Liangxiao sarcastically with a smile. 'If she hadn't said this, why would Xiao Ze say it? The position of family leader… Her eyes are really sharp. Not only does she have her eyes on the position of the Xiao family's eldest daughter, but she also has her eyes on the position of family leader. With such a huge appetite, isn't she afraid of choking to death?!'

'Xiao Yi, Elder Xiao Yi…' Xiao Liangxiao carefully observed Xiao Yi with a pale face.

Xiao Yi didn't say anything, but his gloomy eyes said everything.

'He knows about this!'

The four elders looked at Xiao Yi and didn't dare to say a word, but they couldn't help cursing in their hearts. 'It's strange enough that we're here together, but why does it feel like we know a lot of things together? Why did Xiao Yi hear it too?'

"I heard it with my own ears. Am I also slandering you?" Xiao Yi finally opened his mouth, but as soon as he said this, everyone fell silent as if time had stopped.

'What did Xiao Ze say?! The elder heard it with his own ears!? Why did he say all this? How much did Xiao Yi and Xiao Muling hear from him?' Xiao Liangxiao gritted her teeth—she wanted to kill Xiao Ze!

In the silent scene, Xiao Canglan stood up at this moment, his powerful aura shaking the surroundings.

The standing people looked at Xiao Canglan's imposing figure and couldn't help but take a step back in fear. They looked at him with fear!

"Family Leader!" Xiao Liuce cried out in agitation, but just as he opened his mouth, Xiao Canglan's eyes swept over him.

He trembled and swallowed all of his words!
