Facing such circumstances, the main seat in the Xiao Family hall was vacant, surrounded by Xiao Family elders and stewards—yet not a single person dared to speak.
For the previous Xiao Family Patriarch had passed away, and the young master, Xiao Han, had succeeded to the position in utmost secrecy, known only to a few trusted elders. Publicly, it had been announced that Xiao Zhan was in secluded cultivation to break through to the Sword Spirit Realm.
But now, things could no longer be kept under wraps, as Nolan Qiushui, who had not yet married into the family, arrived alone with a sect steward—clearly, her intentions were not friendly.
The situation today evidently could not end amicably; a decision had to be made.
"Ze'er, aren't you going to invite the Family Head over?" At this critical moment, the Great Elder of the Xiao Family gave the order with a smile on his face.
