In the conference hall, a long rectangular table was placed in the center of the hall. Xia Haoyuan and the other six elders sat quietly on both sides of the table.

They were all waiting for someone, someone who could sit at the front seat of the long table.

Not long after, Xia Changming appeared outside the hall, and walked towards the front with an imposing manner.

After taking their seats, according to convention, the six elders had to stand up and greet the head of the family.

The four elders headed by Xia Ruoguang all stood up and bowed to Xia Changming respectfully, saying:

"Meet the master of the house."

Xia Haoyuan and Xia Jun were the only two who remained seated.

""Great elder, Sixth elder, since you are meeting the head of the family, why don't you bow?"

Xia Changming narrowed his eyes and asked in a cold voice, with a faint invisible pressure emanating from his body.

Xia Jun had seen Xia Changming's strength and means in the arena, and under the invisible pressure, cold sweat could not help but flow down his forehead. He had to stand up and bowed in fear:

"Met the owner…"

""Yeah."

Xia Changming nodded with satisfaction and turned to look at Xia Haoyuan who was still motionless.

"Great Elder, is your waist not in good condition? If so, I can understand and allow you not to get up."

Xia Haoyuan could not fail to hear the sarcasm in Xia Changming's words, and replied with a gloomy face:

"I will never regard the person who pushes Xia family into the abyss as the head of the family!"

"Oh? What does the elder mean?"

Xia Changming asked in a puzzled manner. In fact, he knew very well the reason for the sudden family meeting.

As expected,

Xia Haoyuan slammed the table angrily, stood up and pointed at Xia Changming and said:

"Do you know what you did last night?"

"He brought the demon girl to the Tiandi Pavilion to commit crimes and cause trouble, and the opponent he provoked was the Cai family, the most powerful of the four great families."

"You have only been the head of the Xia family for a few days and you have caused trouble, angering both the Tiandi Baoge and the Cai family."

"You simply want to destroy the Xia family's hundreds of years of foundation and plunge the Xia family into an irreparable situation!"

After hearing Xia Haoyuan's angry rebuke, the other elders looked at each other with solemn and worried expressions.

Not to mention that the Cai family has become stronger in recent years and its influence has surpassed the Xia family. The influence of the Tiandi Bao Pavilion is spread all over the nine states and ten lands, which is not something the Xia family can afford to provoke.

Xia Changming stared at Xia Haoyuan with cold eyes, and the murderous intent attacked his mind. He said coldly:

"What kind of witch is this? Great Elder, please explain yourself clearly."

"Su Yueli is my wife, your mother, please be careful with your words!"

Xia Haoyuan felt this shocking murderous intent, like a sharp knife stabbing into his body, his body couldn't help but tremble slightly, although he didn't dare to speak again, but still gritted his teeth unyieldingly.

After a moment, Xia Changming withdrew his murderous pressure, looked at the elders and said in a deep voice:

"In recent years, our Xia family has been repeatedly attacked by the Cai family, with dozens of clan members killed and countless injured!"

"I would like to ask, what are the elders doing?"

"Why would my great Changsheng Xia family just cower and allow others to slaughter us without saying a word!"

Xia Changming shouted angrily, shocking the hearts of the elders. They lowered their heads in shame, and no one answered.

Seeing that no one dared to speak, Xia Changming continued:

"Last night, Cai Kun, the second son of the Cai family, even tried to do something bad to my wife and was rude to the mother of the Xia family. He was simply bullying the Xia family because they had no one to rely on!"

"The Cai family’s actions are a provocation to my Xia family!"

"Taking advantage of this family meeting, I, in the name of the family head, announced to the tens of thousands of Xia family members!"

"No matter who or what faction the other party belongs to, anyone who takes the initiative to provoke and hurt our Xia family will be fought back! The Cai family is no exception!"

"If you can't defeat them alone, then call a group of people to fight. If the group fight doesn't work, then sneak attack! I agree to everything."

When these words came out, everyone in the room was shocked.

Xia Haoyuan quickly retorted:

"absurd!"

"The Cai family is now so powerful that they have dozens of disciples in the Heaven Realm and are about to marry into the Wang family."

"When the two families join forces, their strength far exceeds that of our Xia family, and our Xia family cannot defeat them!"

"You are going to push my Xia family into death!"

Xia Changming listened to Xia Haoyuan quietly, and glanced at the others. Except for Xia Ruoguang who was calm, the other elders were all embarrassed and seemed to be afraid. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the Xia family was so decadent now, and only wanted stability. If the ancestor Xia Lan knew about this, he would be so angry that he would die.

Xia Changming looked back at Xia Haoyuan and asked lightly:

"Then according to the words of the great elder, how can we ensure the prosperity of our Xia family?"

Xia Haoyuan seemed to have been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and said without hesitation:

"According to what I said, we should immediately prepare gifts and apologize to the Cai family to restore the relationship between the two families."

"And then to deal with that... punishment of the girl from the demon clan, on the one hand to appease the Cai family's anger and give an explanation to the Cai family, on the other hand to warn the other children of the Xia family not to cause trouble outside at will!"

"Hahahaha."

After hearing this, Xia Changming couldn't help but laugh.

"What's so funny?!"

Xia Haoyuan asked angrily.

"Sorry, sorry, I am not making fun of the Great Elder, it's just that what the Great Elder said is really interesting."

Xia Changming smiled and said in a sarcastic tone:

"I heard that the elder was always on the side of the Cai family, trying to boost their ambitions and destroy the prestige of the Xia family."

"For a moment, I actually thought the elder's surname was Cai instead of Xia.…!"

As soon as Xia Changming finished speaking, Xia Haoyuan's pupils shrank sharply, and he pointed at Xia Changming and shouted angrily:

"How outrageous!"

"As the elder of the Xia family, I have served the Xia family wholeheartedly for more than a hundred years, and I have worked hard for the Xia family in every aspect. How dare you, a young boy, slander my reputation!"

Seeing Xia Haoyuan furious and cursing without caring about his image, Xia Changming glanced at him meaningfully and waved his hand casually:

"I didn't say that the Great Elder's surname is Cai. I wonder why you are so excited?"

"You...you slandered my reputation and attempted to destroy the Xia family's century-old foundation. You are not worthy of inheriting the position of the head of the Xia family!"

"In the name of the Great Elder, I, together with all the elders, want to temporarily suspend your authority as the head of the Xia family!"

Here it comes.

This is probably the main reason for holding a family meeting, and they want to use the Cai family incident to accuse him.

Xia Changming looked lazy and said casually:

"Please, Great Elder"

"Elders, what are you waiting for?"

Xia Haoyuan looked at the others and asked.

Only Xia Jun responded to him, and the others all looked at Xia Ruoguang who was calm and motionless.

"Elder Ruoguang?"

Xia Haoyuan looked at Xia Ruoguang and said, with a hint of threat in his eyes.

Xia Ruoguang slowly stood up.

Seeing this, Xia Haoyuan showed a proud look on his face.

A young boy wanted to fight him, it was too early! All the people present were his people!

However, what happened next made Xia Haoyuan's proud face freeze.

Xia Ruoguang turned to Xia Changming, bowed and said:

"Patriarch, I want to accuse the great elder Xia Haoyuan!"

"In the past few decades, he has been secretly enriching the Xia family's spiritual stone storehouse, forming a group to form ties, and slandering the previous head of the family!"
