Chapter 7 The Dog that Bites Doesn't Bark

As soon as Wang Xianxian stepped into the ancestral hall, he felt an extremely oppressive atmosphere.

The hall was solemn, and the old men sitting on the chairs around were all high-ranking figures of the Wang family.

Although not all of them came, most of those who were in the Tianjian ancestral home came.

Sitting in the first seat was a white-haired old man, this was the tenth elder of the family.

This tenth elder was powerful, with a very high status and seniority. He had just come out of retreat a few hours ago.

The tenth elder did not care too much about everything around him. He just sat on the high seat and closed his eyes to rest.

It seemed that there was an immortal god in his body. Just sitting there gave people a sense of oppression that was extremely terrifying.

Sitting below the tenth elder was the current patriarch of the Wang family, Wang Xiao.

He was Wang Jiannian's biological father and Wang Xianxian's grandfather.

And sitting next to Wang Xiao was a young face.

Wang Beichen!

Wang Beichen was always surrounded by many clansmen. No matter where he was, he was the focus of everyone's attention.

Because he is Wang Beichen, because he is the first prodigy of this generation of Tianjian Wang Clan.

The clan leader looked at Wang Xianxian standing behind him, frowning, with a somewhat unhappy tone.

"Wang Xianxian, do you know why I called you here?"

Facing the pressure from his grandfather, Wang Xianxian immediately saluted.

"Reporting to Grandpa, Xianxian doesn't know."

"Don't know?" Wang Xiao snorted coldly, "Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?"

Wang Xianxian's face was full of doubts, and he didn't do anything in his memory.

Looking at his grandson with a puzzled face, Wang Xiao asked in a deep voice.

"Do you know what people are saying about your father now?"

Wang Xianxian's body shook violently, and he seemed to understand his situation.

Seeing that Wang Xianxian didn't speak, the clan leader laughed in anger.

"Now it's said that my Wang family has a bastard at home."

"In the entire history of our Tianjian Wang family from ancient times to the present, you are the only one who has awakened such a mission."

"Do you know your mistake?"

Wang Xianxian, who lowered his head, felt sad and smiled bitterly.

"May I ask the clan leader, what's wrong with me?"

"What's wrong?" Wang Xiao's eyes darkened, "You made our Wang family a laughing stock, and you still ask me what's wrong with me!"

Wang Xianxian raised his head and looked at his grandfather on the high seat.

"Can I decide the mission?"

"Have I ever thought of humiliating the family's honor?"

"Bastard? The blood of the emperor will naturally sense the blood relationship. Don't you know whether I am a bastard or not?"

The young man's questioning made Wang Xiao's face look a little ugly.

He didn't expect that the originally taciturn Wang Xianxian would have the courage to talk back to him in public.

Just when the atmosphere became stiff, Wang Jiannian stood up from the crowd.

He knelt down directly in front of his father and kowtowed.

"If a son is not well educated, it is the fault of the father. It is my fault that I did not educate the child well. I am willing to take the blame for my son."

"Please give Xianxian a chance because he is still young."

Wang Xianxian in front of him was disappointed after hearing this.

He did not believe that his father would defend him like this. Wang Jiannian must be putting on a show to say such a thing.

And putting on a show here means that the current situation is still under Wang Jiannian's control.

Almost instantly, Wang Xianxian guessed that he might have been calculated.

Sure enough, as soon as this thought came up, Wang Xiao spoke indifferently.

"Taking punishment on behalf of your son? Do you know the real reason why I called Wang Xianxian here?"

"I called him here because of the theft of the Heart of Cold Orchid."

"Some time ago, the Murong family gave me the Wang family's treasure, the Heart of Cold Orchid, to congratulate Beichen for breaking through the Blood Refining Realm."

"However, that very night, the Heart of Cold Orchid was accidentally stolen."

"So, I ordered Wang Beichen to personally investigate the case."

"Beichen, you come and tell the elders the truth about the theft of the Heart of Cold Orchid."

Hearing this, Wang Beichen, who was beside Wang Xiao, stood up proudly.

"Dear elders, after two weeks of investigation, the thief was my brother, Wang Xianxian."

Wang Beichen's loud voice continued to ripple in the empty ancestral hall.

After hearing this, everyone looked at Wang Jiannian, who was kneeling in front of the clan leader, with a look of shock.

People who can sit here and participate in the clan discussion are not fools, most of them are old foxes who are good at calculating.

Wang Beichen's words fell into their ears, how could they not see what he meant.

These people were surprised at Wang Jiannian's cruelty. He actually planned to make his eldest son a sacrifice!

However, although they knew what was going on, no one was willing to offend Wang Jiannian.

Because, such a thing might have been tacitly approved by the clan leader!

A certain senior official narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this.

"Are you sure? This matter is of a bad nature. Don't blame the child wrongly."

Wang Jiannian stood up and roared at Wang Beichen.

"You bastard, I told you to investigate the thief, but you dared to investigate your brother!"

Wang Beichen said aggrievedly when he heard his father's scolding.

"The Heart of Hanlan originally belonged to me, and that's why Grandpa asked me to investigate."

"Father, I know you don't want to accept this fact, but this time the evidence is solid."

"Besides, this is what I found out with other elders in the family, and my fifth uncle also knows about it."

"Because he is my brother, I have repeatedly confirmed that the criminal is undoubtedly my brother."

"According to the clan rules, stealing the family treasure should be punished with flogging and expelled from the family, but I am a little undecided, so..."

Hearing this, the clan leader Wang Xiao spoke in a serious voice.

"All clan members who violate the clan rules shall not enjoy privileges, even my grandson!"

Wang Jiannian seemed dumbfounded, with a blank face.

"How could Xianxian be like this? Although he does have many problems, but..."

"Humph!" Wang Xiao snorted coldly, "This is the son you taught!"

At this time, a middle-aged man in a black robe stood out from the crowd.

His name is Wang Jianquan, Wang Xianxian's fifth uncle, and also Wang Jiannian's right-hand man.

"Clan leader, I don't think the third brother can be blamed for this."

"Beichen and Wang Xianxian are both the third brother's children, why is Beichen the only one who is kind, polite and well-behaved?"

"I didn't believe that the third brother's child would do such a thing."

"But after all, nephew Xianxian was raised by Mo Wange himself."

"What kind of child can you expect from her, a drunkard?"

"Isn't the reason why Beichen is so outstanding because the third brother and sister-in-law taught him well?"

"It must be that Xianxian didn't get a proper education when he was young, so he did such a thing."

"Then Mo Wange has long been resentful of my Wang family, and he must have put his resentment on nephew Xianxian."

"And that drunkard Mo Wange gets himself drunk every day, and has sex outside after drinking all day...Ah!!!"

The screams instantly resounded in the ancestral hall.

Everyone looked over and saw that Wang Xianxian was holding Wang Jianquan's left arm tightly.

The boy buried his head deeply in his arms.

No one knew what happened, and no one knew why Wang Jianquan screamed.

Although Wang Jianquan's martial arts skills were weak, he wouldn't scream like this because of a child.

The guards in the ancestral hall quickly separated the two.

As soon as they separated, Wang Jianquan covered his left hand with a painful expression.

Looking carefully, everyone was horrified to find that Wang Jianquan's left thumb was actually broken.

The wound was bleeding!

And the culprit was the child who had been ignored by them!

The silent boy actually bit off a part of his elder's finger!

"Hehe..."

The boy spit out the finger in his mouth and laughed wildly.

The blood on the corners of his mouth and teeth made Wang Xianxian look particularly creepy at this moment.

Wang Jianquan kept roaring at the laughing boy: "Kill you, I want to kill you!!!"

Hearing this, Wang Xianxian glanced at Wang Jianquan and said jokingly.

"Don't you know that insulting a child's mother in front of him is a very mean thing?"

"Oh~ Maybe it's because you didn't get a proper education when you were a kid, so you did such a thing."

"Today I'm going to teach you a lesson. If you insult someone's mother, you will be retaliated."

"Remember, this time the tuition fee is only one finger of yours!"

Shocking words!
