Hillside villa.

When Xia Tian and Ning Ruirui returned here, the villa had been cleaned inside and out.

However, there were seven or eight motionless elderly people lying in the living room, and Nie Xiaoli and her daughter were taking care of them.

As for Ning Ruichen, he collapsed on the side exhausted, gasping for breath from time to time.

"Sister, brother-in-law, you are finally back?" Ning Ruichen showed a resentful expression, "If you hadn't come back, we would have died of exhaustion here?"

Xia Tian looked puzzled: "What are you doing? Where did these people come from?"

"It's the basement of the villa." Ning Ruichen pointed at Ning Ruirui and explained, "Didn't Sister Ruirui chase me to the basement before? I wanted to follow her to see what was going on, but I got lost down there, and then..."

As he spoke, he pointed to the old men on the ground and said, "I found them, all locked in cages, half dead."

"They are all elders in the clan. They have all been selected to join the clan elders' council." Nie Xiaoli explained to Xia Tian at this time: "I just don't know why they were locked up in the basement."

Xia Tian curled his lips and said, "No need to guess, it must be because of disobedience."

Nie Xiaoli instantly understood what Xia Tian meant. These people must have been unwilling to disagree with her grandfather Nie Yuntian, so they were all locked up.

"Where is Xiaozao?" Ning Ruirui asked casually.

Nie Xiaoli replied: "She felt a little unwell just now and has fallen asleep now. I will go wake her up."

"That's okay. Let Xia Tian check on her after she wakes up." Ning Ruirui suggested.

"Yes, my stewardess wife, you don't have to be so anxious." Xia Tian looked at Nie Xiaoli calmly: "Let her sleep for a while."

Ning Ruichen finally caught his breath and said to Xia Tian: "Hey, brother-in-law, please care about me too. Give me an injection so that I can recover my strength."

"Go to hell." Xia Tian glanced at him, raised his leg and kicked him, kicking him onto the sofa next to him.

"Okay, I feel comfortable now." Ning Ruichen slumped down on the sofa and gave Xia Tian a thumbs-up. "Thanks, brother-in-law."

Ning Ruirui looked at the old people with some surprise: "They are all alright, right? Why do they look like..."

"Not dead." An old man with a short beard said these two words through his teeth, but his tone was a little stiff: "That old guy Nie Yuntian wanted to kill us, but unfortunately his methods were not cruel enough, and he is still alive."

Nie Xiaoli took a look at the old man and found him unfamiliar, so he couldn't help asking, "Um, can I ask who you are?"

"Who are you?" The short-bearded old man slowly opened his eyes and glanced at Mother Nie. "Well, you look familiar, girl."

Mother Nie was stunned for a moment, then said, "I am from Nie Changsheng's family, and Nie Yuntian is my father-in-law."

"Then you should be from the Zhang family." The short-bearded old man snorted softly, "It was the year you got married that I joined the clan elders' council, and then I was locked up by Nie Yuntian."

"Ah, I remember it too." Mother Nie's eyes lit up and she pointed at the old man with a short beard and said, "You are my fifth uncle? The year I got married, an uncle of my clan happened to get into trouble. Later, they said he was arrested and imprisoned. It's been twenty years now."

The old man with short beard couldn't help but spit and curse: "That old guy Nie Yuntian is deliberately framing me. I just opposed him to be the head of the family, so he deliberately discredited me and locked me up in the dungeon!"

"Then are they... also members of the Nie family?" Nie Xiaoli pointed at the other people and asked softly.

The short-bearded old man glanced at Nie Xiaoli, looking somewhat dissatisfied, but still replied: "Yes, they are also elders of the Nie family. Because they opposed Nie Yuntian, they had their limbs broken and were locked up in the dungeon."

"In fact, it's not just them, there are also some young people." He added a few more words: "However, those young people were taken away before they could be imprisoned for two years. No one knows where they were taken to."

Xia Tian said lazily, "Most likely they were sent to the foot of Huangshan Mountain to serve as nutrients for some spiritual vein."

"Hey, stop talking nonsense." At this time, Huang Yi came over from the basement carrying some things. "Those people were actually sent to another place by Nie Yuntian. I have never seen them."

"I didn't say anything about you, why are you so nervous?" Xia Tian glanced at Huang Yi and said with a curled lip: "But now that you have lost your spiritual veins, you can only be an ordinary person."

Huang Yi didn't mind at all: "There's nothing wrong with being an ordinary person."

"What about Huangshan?" Nie Xiaoli said with some concern: "Without the spiritual vein, will it disappear directly?"

"That won't happen." Huang Yi said calmly: "Mountains, rivers, lakes and seas all have their own natural cycles. Besides, I'm not dead yet, and my roots are still there, so I can slowly accumulate spiritual energy."

Ning Ruirui looked at Xia Tian at this time: "Don't you still have half of the spiritual vein in that needle? Why don't you give it back to him?"

"Yes, there is still a little bit, but..." Xia Tian answered casually, but when he was about to say something else, someone interrupted him directly.

"But he has already promised that those spiritual veins are for me." Sister Jinsi suddenly jumped in from the second-floor window sill and said with some dissatisfaction: "You just threw me under the Yellow Mountain. Isn't that a bit disloyal."

Xia Tian glanced lazily at the golden monkey and asked, "Who are you?"

"Hey, are you pretending not to know me so quickly?" Sister Jinsi widened her eyes and said in dissatisfaction, "I am Sister Jinsi, my name is Pei Jinsi. I clearly met you before at the foot of Huangshan Mountain, but now you are pretending not to know me."

"I did promise a female monkey, but not you!" Xia Tian said casually.

Sister Jinsi became more and more dissatisfied: "Are you trying to default on your debt?"

"Okay, now is not the time to quarrel." Ning Ruirui felt a little headache, pinched her eyebrows, and said: "Things are far from over. Nie Yuntian just went out and will be back at any time. Let's think about how to end it."

"Little long-legged girl, there's nothing to think about. Just take advantage of the situation and that'll be fine." Xia Tian answered nonchalantly.

The old man with short beard was somewhat stunned when he heard what Xia Tian said: "Who are you to dare to say such a thing? Do you know who Nie Yuntian is and how powerful he is? Even I fell into his hands, I'm afraid your fate will be even worse, you'd better escape as soon as possible."

Ning Ruichen couldn't help but complain: "Old man, have you been in the basement for too long? Your brain has become damp?"

"How dare you!" The short-bearded old man was furious. "Which branch of the Nie family are you from? Do you know the rules? I am your elder! How dare you disrespect me?"

"Sorry, my last name is not Nie!" Ning Ruichen said with disdain, "Besides, all of you Nie family elders are rotten to the core. I am not even interested in respecting Nie Yuntian, let alone you."

The old man with the short beard came back to his senses at this time, and asked blankly: "Who among you is a member of the Nie family? Who has the final say in the Nie family now?"

Xia Tian said lazily: "Now in the Nie family, my flight attendant wife has the final say."

"Who are you talking about?" The old man with short mustache looked confused.

Nie Xiaoli didn't know how to explain for a moment, so he said directly: "It's me, my name is Nie Xiaoli, Nie Yuntian is my grandfather, and I have the final say here now!"

"This... is outrageous. How can the Nie family let a woman be the head of the family!" The short-bearded old man came to his senses and immediately became furious: "Although Nie Yuntian has done many evil things, he is still a man of the Nie family. Women are like spilled water. How can they be the head of the Nie family if they are cheap and lose money?"

Ning Ruichen interrupted and cursed again: "Old man, it seems that not only are you out of your mind, but you also deserve a beating."

"You deserve a beating too." Xia Tian couldn't help but glare at Ning Ruichen.

"Brother-in-law, you are wrong. I am just helping Xiaoli." Ning Ruichen looked aggrieved.

Ning Ruirui was also quite speechless. These people had obviously been imprisoned by Nie Yuntian for so many years and they also did not agree with Nie Yuntian. But in comparison, they did not agree with the idea of ​​women being the masters of the family, and their minds were still filled with the garbage of feudal ideas.

"From now on, my flight attendant wife has the final say in the Nie family. Whoever disobeys will be beaten up." Xia Tian threatened nonchalantly.

“Even if we kill all the members of the Nie family, we can’t let a woman be the master!” The short-bearded old man was obviously a stubborn old man. He said coldly, “No member of the Nie family would support a girl being the master…”

"Whoever says no, I support it very much." A sloppy Taoist priest pushed the door open and walked in, saying lazily, "I, Nie Yunmeng, will be the first to support it, and I will support it wholeheartedly. If anyone disagrees, I will be the first to kill him."

The short-bearded old man was a little angry when he was interrupted, but when he saw the sloppy Taoist's face clearly, his eyes widened immediately: "You, you are the fourth brother?"

"It's me." The sloppy Taoist priest said calmly, "Let's not talk about anything else. Anyway, the head of the Nie family will be Nie Xiaoli from now on. These elders are enough. Just express your opinions directly."

The old man with a short beard hesitated for a while, looked at the sloppy Taoist priest, then looked at Xia Tian and Nie Xiaoli, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Then I have no objection."

The other people had just been rescued and were all led by the old man with short beard, so naturally they had no objections.

"Okay, Xiaoli, from now on, you are the head of the Nie family." The sloppy Taoist looked at Nie Xiaoli and said with determination.

Nie Xiaoli said hesitantly, "Grandpa is not outside yet. He will be back tonight or tomorrow."

"According to the clan rules, if the head of the family does not act properly and harms the family, the elders can directly elect a new head of the family." The sloppy Taoist priest said directly to Nie Xiaoli: "If the votes exceed one-half, there is no need to inform the current head of the family. The new head of the family will directly take over the power of the family."

"But are there enough tickets here?" Mother Nie asked worriedly.

"The elders' council usually has eighteen people." The sloppy Taoist priest laughed. "If it was usual, there would definitely not be enough votes. After all, the elders' council is controlled by the seventh and third elders. But now the seventh elder is not back, and the third elder is dead. There are nine elders here, including me, which is more than half."

"It doesn't matter whether there are enough tickets or not." Xia Tian yawned lazily, "Since she wants to be the stewardess wife, then she must be the one, no one else can do it."

"What a big tone! Do you really think I'm dead?"

A loud shout came from outside the door, followed by a loud "bang".

The door exploded!

"You are not worthy of seizing power while I am still alive!" Nie Yuntian walked in aggressively with a dozen people, his hands behind his back.
