Chapter 723 The Xiong Family Conspiracy

"Patriarch, what should we do now? Should we call people to attack the hotel?" The butler asked with a murderous look on his face.

Xiong Xi waved his hands, then paced back and forth in the room.

"Young man? It seems that we all underestimate you!"

"And you are such an expert, how could you not notice the peeping of a waiter?"

"You must have done this on purpose! You want to warn me with this little boy? Or are you provoking my Xiong family?"

As Xiong Xi spoke, the expression on his face fluctuated.

finally.

He stopped and said in a dark voice, "Housekeeper!"

"Patriarch!" The butler replied solemnly.

"Order everyone to get ready and do it on tomorrow's water festival ceremony. Also, the news tonight will spread!"

But the housekeeper hesitated, "Patriarch, isn't it inappropriate to do this?"

"What's wrong?"

"As you said, doesn't the saint, Crolia, value this boy very much? If she does something at the water festival ceremony, in case the saint stops her..."

Xiong Xi smiled, "You are right! But this is what I want!"

The butler was even more confused.

Resentment and cruelty appeared on Xiong Xi's face, "Since this boy was able to kill my son Xiong Hai, it shows that his strength is extraordinary, and it will definitely be difficult to eradicate him with the strength of our Xiong family alone!"

"So I have to wait until tomorrow to do it at the water sacrifice ceremony! At that time, I will say that this young man is the murderer who slaughtered the Black Iron City, and he is the outsider that the city lord said."

"Master Saintess and the city lord will definitely be furious, and we will be able to eradicate this person without the help of our Xiong family!"

Hearing Xiong Xi's plan, the butler bowed deeply, "Patriarch Mingjian!"

Xiong Xi sighed when he heard the words, and then shed a few tears.

"It's a pity for my two sons..."

The steward also shed tears,

Just about to say a few words of comfort.

Unexpectedly, Xiong Xi immediately said: "Go and call some Ji concubines over, the son is gone, there must be a few more!"

housekeeper:"……"

"yes!"

Just when Xiong Xi was trying his best to have more sons, what happened that night also spread under the deliberate guidance of the Xiong family.

A storm gradually began to brew.

the next day.

It is located on the square in front of the tower in the center of the city.

The water festival ceremony is held here.

Although it hasn't officially started yet.

But it was already full of people early in the morning.

On the outskirts of the square, there are many guards guarding the crowd, checking the crowd, and only those who wear the admission ticket on their chests can enter.

When Xue An and Atu arrived here, the soldiers bowed down respectfully when they saw the admission tickets they were wearing.

"My lord, please come in!"

The attitude is completely different from that of ordinary people.

Then someone specially led them into the square, passed through the crowd, and came to a high platform closest to the high tower.

This is the best place in the whole square.

But because I came earlier, there was no one on the high platform.

But soon, people of all colors began to enter the arena.

The high platform became more and more lively.

Many well-dressed wealthy children gathered together to chat and laugh happily, but no one paid any attention to Xue An and A Tu, but from time to time someone would look at them with curious eyes.

"Who are those two people over there? They seem to be familiar faces?"

"Shh, don't you know this? This is the young master that the Holy Maiden met on the street yesterday!"

"Hey, that's him? It looks like he's only eleven or twelve years old! Hey, that's not right! Why do you all hide away from such young masters? No one goes up to recruit them?"

For these wealthy families, a young master like Atu who is also valued by the saint is very worth recruiting.

But this time it was uncharacteristically, and everyone hid far away.

"Hehe, you really don't know much about it! You probably don't know what happened last night, do you?"

"what happened?"

The person who spoke lowered his voice, and said in a low voice, "Xiong Hai, the eldest son of the Xiong family, the head of the bodyguard of the Saintess, died last night!"

"Hiss! How is that possible? I know that Xiong Hai is a fourth-order master with a strange and unpredictable talent. How could he die?"

"Hehe, can this be a lie? He is indeed dead, and he died in the hotel. A guard from the Xiong family also died together, and the person who did it...!" The person who spoke rushed to A Tu raised his chin.

"It's this boy!"

Hearing this sentence, the faces of those who didn't know what happened last night all changed.

No wonder no one dared to come forward to solicit.

This young man killed the eldest son of the Xiong family, and the Xiong family would never let it go. Who would want to offend the Xiong family for such a young man without any fundamental background?

As for Xue An at the side...

Many people automatically ignore him.

Because no matter how you look at it, this man doesn't look like a strong man with talent.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the crowd, and then the people from the Xiong family stepped onto the high platform.

After seeing Xiong Xi, the patriarch of the Xiong family, many members of the wealthy family had strange expressions.

After all, the Xiong family had already lost two young and promising juniors in succession during this period, which was a severe blow to the Xiong family.

What's more, the murderer was right in front of them this time, and many people wanted to see what kind of expression this Xiong Xi would have when he saw Atu, and whether he would explode on the spot.

But to the disappointment of these people, Xiong Xi just took a deep look at Atu, then found a seat, and sat down in silence.

Such a scene made many people look at each other in blank dismay, and they all saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

People don't understand why the head of the Xiong family is so calm?

But this question was soon interrupted by the arrival of a person.

"My lord saint!"

"I have seen the saint!"

Everyone stood up to say hello.

Then I saw Crolia stepping up to the high platform with a sinking face.

Facing everyone's greetings, she didn't say a word, but quietly glanced at Xiong Xi who was not far away, and then focused her attention on Atu.

Of course she knew what happened last night.

Even thinking with his toes, he could know what Xiong Hai wanted to do when he went to find Atu in the middle of the night.

This made Crolia very angry.

After all, A-Tu is a talent that he valued, and this Xiong Hai actually wanted to kill people to steal his talent, which is clearly despising his own authority.

But what Crolia didn't expect was that this Atu would be so ruthless in his attack, directly killing Xiong Hai.

Although such a counterattack was taken for granted, Crolia was still shocked.
