The Xiao family's old house is just west of Wutan City. After all, Wutan City is just a small city. The realm of the Great Fighter can be king and hegemony here. One can imagine the rank of this city, not to mention, this city is even a small city. There is no mayor.
Xiao Lin was too lazy to think about the future of this city. The Xiao family would not stay here for long. Even without him, after Xiao Yan grew up, they would still leave.
Small places can't keep people alive.
However, for the time being, the Xiao family still has to recuperate here, there is no doubt about that.
Taking advantage of the fading night to hide his figure, Xiao Lin landed on the top of an empty attic and looked down at the huge building complex of the Xiao family.
Everyone in the Xiao family lives here, so naturally this building community will not be small.
The entire building complex is backed by the mountains and forests, and the other three face outwards, which are divided into three parts in total.
It is divided by the central node, and the outer part is the place where the people usually live;
The part close to the mountains and forests is where the people of the tribe live and where important things are held within the tribe.
For example, the family martial arts field, and the ancestral tomb not far from the mountains and forests.
As for the building in the center, it is the place where affairs are usually handled and where the elders of the clan live.
Looking from this corner of Xiao Lin, I can just see that Xiao Zhan and his wife are settling for the rest of several children, and the two are talking.
For Xiao Lin, this is also the first time he has seen a cheap son and daughter-in-law.
With the eyesight of his fighting spirit, he was naturally able to see clearly what was happening in the room. Although he didn't really hear what he said, he could still guess what he was talking about.
It's nothing more than talking about something that happened not long ago. The family suffered a great disaster and was rescued by a mysterious powerhouse. Such a thing cannot be easily settled on anyone.
After the couple talked for a while, Bai Yao went to the inner room and went to sleep. It was not easy for her to take care of three children.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Lin jumped off the roof without hesitation.
He is going to talk to Xiao Zhan, this conversation is inevitable after all, so the sooner the better.
Now is a good time.
Xiao Lin came to the Xiao Zhanyuan, and when he ran his fighting qi, he condensed a wooden plaque, carved words on it, and threw it into the room.
Since it was a private meeting, of course, he had to be careful. Xiao Lin had already made up his mind. At this time, it was even more smooth to do things.
……
Xiao Zhan is drinking water in the house.
He took the family all the way, and finally returned to the ancestral house this evening. It is impossible to say that he is not tired.
But he couldn't sleep.
He was still thinking about the mysterious powerhouse.
Could it be an old friend made by his father back then?
This kind of thought was thrown away after he had gone through it once in his mind. For so many years, although he had not cultivated well, he knew his father very well.
The father made a lot of friends, but not many would come out to help at this time.
When they were in the holy city of Jiama, the Nalan family, the old Patriarch and his father were good friends for many years. The old Patriarch of Nalan broke through Dou Wang early, but his father also reached the point where he could break through at any time, so a few years ago, the two even Also set a doll kiss for the child.
But after the death of his father, the old family owner seemed to have disappeared. Mingming had already cultivated to the realm of Dou Wang, but he had never even taken care of the Xiao family.
Otherwise, if there is a strong Douwang who is willing to shelter, why did the Xiao family fall to this point?
Now that they are back in this small town, how can the Xiao family, whose vitality is severely damaged, continue?
He was thinking so, when a wooden sign suddenly shot in from outside.
The wooden sign Dangdang was directly in front of him, and it was naturally for him to see. There were only four characters on it, and it was to invite him out to meet.
He suddenly thought of the mysterious fighting spirit powerhouse who had protected the Xiao family, and stood up excitedly.
If there is a strong fighting spirit, then the Xiao family can at least be stable for a period of time and get through this difficult period.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhan clenched the wooden sign emotionally and walked out quickly.
……
Xiao Lin was waiting in the yard next door.
No one lives in this yard, it looks a bit empty, and a dry old tree grows here decadently, which adds a bit of desolation to the yard.
Xiao Lin sat next to the stone table under the old tree, quietly waiting for Xiao Zhan's arrival.
At this time, the sky was already bright. Except for the Xiao family members who were still sleeping because they were running around all night, the ordinary people in Wutan City had already started to work.
So when Xiao Zhan walked into this courtyard, he immediately saw Xiao Lin sitting under the tree trunk of Mosuo.
That figure was so familiar that it never left in his memory.
Xiao Zhan approached hesitantly, suspecting that what he saw was actually a phantom.
But as he got closer, he could feel more and more that the shadow in front of him was a real person.
He let out a trembling cry.
"father?"
Xiao Lin had been waiting for this time to come, and he had been brewing his emotions for a while.
But when he really faced this scene, he found that he was still a little out of control.
Because when he just turned around and was about to talk to Xiao Zhan with a smile, he found that his cheap son had already burst into tears.
"Why are you crying? How old are you still crying?"
But his words had no effect at all, and even after he said these words, Xiao Zhan cried even more.
There was nothing Xiao Lin could do. He was never good at coaxing someone who was crying, so he could only sit here silently and wait for Xiao Zhan to calm down.
After a while, Xiao Zhan finally stopped crying.
He looked at Xiao Lin in front of him with red eyes, his face full of disbelief.
"Father, aren't you dead?
Why is it suddenly alive again?
Is that the mysterious fighting spirit powerhouse who rescued us before?
What happened to the three big fighters?
Dad, you don't know how much my life has been since you died..."
"All right."
Xiao Lin had to interrupt Xiao Zhan's words, because he was about to cry again.
"Didn't I come back? Don't cry, I have something important to tell you."

006 Go to Qingshan Town
After all, Xiao Zhan is no longer the young patriarch of the Xiao family who did things without any scruples.
It has been almost three months since he succeeded the patriarch, his father died suddenly, and the family suffered a series of changes. These things are the best way to experience a person.
And Xiao Zhan, naturally, from the previous experience as a hands-off shopkeeper who didn't care about anything, he became a person who can control the overall situation today.
Therefore, as soon as Xiao Lin's voice fell, Xiao Zhan restrained his emotions.
In fact, after crying for such a long time, his emotions were almost adjusted.
After all, his father is still alive, which is a good thing for him and the whole family.
"Father, do you have anything to tell me?"
"It's not very hidden here."
Xiao Lin glanced around and said to Xiao Zhan, "Come on, follow me into the house."
After entering the house, the father and son really sat down and started talking.
"Tell me, what happened recently?"
Xiao Lin knows his own affairs. He has only been here for a few days. He may know more about what happened later, but he does not know anything about what happened in the Xiao family during this time.
So Xiao Zhan briefly told him what happened during this period of time.
First, since Xiao Lin died, the enemies of the family have invaded over the years, divided up the property, and then drove them out of the holy city of Jama, together with their belongings. They had no choice but to come back to Wutan City.
But the road was not smooth.
First, a team of men attacked their convoy and stole a lot of property.
Originally, Xiao Zhan was still glad that there were no casualties, and then there were several family members who stood up and left the family and defected to the opponent's house.
——Those people are of great strength. When Xiao Lin was alive, he treated them well and gave them all resources, so their departure made the Xiao family even worse.
Otherwise, the Xiao family would only have two big fighting masters left.
Xiao Lin knew what happened next.
"But it's alright now, father, you are not dead, but come back strong, and the humiliation suffered by the family can be recovered one by one."
Xiao Zhan said excitedly.
In his opinion, the fact that his father didn't die is enough to make up for all the bad things in the past. When this rest is over, his father will naturally take back the things that belonged to their family.
After all, the former father was such a temper.
It's just that Xiao Lin today makes him a little strange.
Because Xiao Lin rejected his proposal.
"Why?" Xiao Zhan asked in confusion: "Since you didn't die, why don't we deal with those things?"
"Because it's not necessary."
Xiao Lin tried his best to look like a world expert who was indifferent to fame and fortune to match what he was saying now.
"There are some things that I should tell you now."
Xiao Lin originally wanted to tell the story of the Xiao family, but he finally held back.
Saying these things now is a disaster rather than a blessing for Xiao Zhan. Knowing these things too early is not good for him.
Moreover, the system did not detect the existence of Xun'er in the Xiao family's motorcade today, which means that Gu Yuan has not sent his daughter here yet.
