Chapter 125 Shocks the Xiao Family
Furthermore, Xiao Xun'er's residence, like Xiao Feng's, is in a relatively remote location. Tying Xiao Yan up there might go unnoticed for a whole day. Conversely, tying him up here wouldn't bother anyone, and since this is a necessary route for the clan, anyone in the Xiao family who isn't blind would definitely see him!
After doing all this, looking at the paper hanging above Xiao Yan's head, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. Then, in a flash, he returned to his courtyard.
Poor Xiao Yan, who was still unconscious, was not only knocked out by Xiao Feng, but also stripped naked and hung on a tree. If he were still conscious, he would probably have been so ashamed that he would have banged his head against the tree.
The next morning, the sun slowly rose from the horizon, and rays of sunlight pierced through the thick clouds and fell on the ground, creating a beautiful scene. However, no one appreciated this beautiful view, as the entire Xiao family was in a state of panic.
The reason was this: Early in the morning, the Xiao family's patrol team had already begun patrolling around the Xiao family compound. However, when they arrived at the open space in the training ground, they were shocked to find that the third young master of the Xiao family patriarch was naked and tied to a tree! They immediately screamed in surprise.
When they tried to help rescue Xiao Yan and lower him down from the tree, they suddenly discovered that they couldn't budge the rope at all. Helpless, they had no choice but to ask Xiao Zhan for help.
However, their screams had already attracted the attention of many clansmen, and now that something like this had happened, it was impossible to hide it any longer. As time went by, more and more clansmen gathered here, pointing and whispering as they looked at Xiao Yan, who was hanging naked on the tree.
The adults were fine; they didn't care about Xiao Yan being naked. But it was a hardship for some of the children. The children had come here just to join in the fun, but instead of enjoying the spectacle, their parents blindfolded them as soon as they arrived. Some even took their children away, as they didn't want to taint their children's pure hearts.
"The clan leader is here! The clan leader is here!" After a long while, shouts came from afar. Xiao Zhan, with a dark face, was seen hurrying forward.
Upon seeing Xiao Zhan's arrival, the clansmen quickly moved aside, clearing a path. With all the clansmen surrounding the front gate now clear, their view was unobstructed, and Xiao Zhan was able to see the entire scene before him.
Seeing his child hanging naked on the tree was like a bolt from the blue. His mind went blank. If it weren't for his strong willpower, he probably would have collapsed to the ground from anger.
Even so, he couldn't help but breathe rapidly, and the expression on his face became even more unpleasant.
"Who did this! Who did it!" After shouting for a while, Xiao Zhan looked around, but no one could answer him. Was he just going to let it go like this? Just sulk in his anger? Of course not.
"What are you all looking at! What are you all doing here watching the show! Your clansmen are in trouble and you not only didn't help, but you're all gathering here to watch the show. It's ridiculous!" Looking at the clansmen on both sides with their different expressions and strange looks in their eyes, Xiao Zhan finally couldn't help but explode and gave them a good scolding.
"Clan leader, it's not that we don't want to help the Third Young Master, but we are simply powerless to do so! These chains are far too strong! We can't break them!"
After hearing Xiao Zhan's reprimand, the surrounding clansmen began to complain. Xiao Zhan was also stunned when he saw this scene. It seemed that there was another hidden story behind the matter.
Upon approaching, Xiao Zhan finally saw the condition of his son, Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan was completely naked and bound to a tree by an almost transparent chain. He seemed to be unconscious, clearly indicating that he had been attacked and then tied up here.
The chains binding him didn't appear to be particularly thick, which made Xiao Zhan doubt the words of his clansmen. "Is that really true? How strong could a mere chain be that even a Dou Zhe couldn't break it?"
His gaze gradually rose, and he saw a piece of paper hanging above Xiao Yan. He hadn't paid much attention to the paper before because he was worried about his child, but when he saw that almost all the clansmen around him were looking at the top of that paper, his attention was also drawn to it.
What I saw was astonishing. The paper hanging above had many words written on it: "This brat is rude and disrespectful. At such a young age, he only thinks about stealing jade and fragrance. He commits violence in the middle of the night and breaks into a boudoir. I was just passing by when I saw such a shameless thing and took action to punish him. I hope he can learn his lesson and repent."
After reading these words, Xiao Zhan's expression changed repeatedly, turning so dark that no one could see any emotion in him.
Xiao Zhan's transformation naturally did not escape the notice of the surrounding clansmen. Seeing Xiao Yan hanging naked on the tree, and then looking at the words on the paper, some clansmen immediately made a secret resolution to protect their daughters and not let Xiao Yan take advantage of them! At the same time, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, "Xiao Yan usually seems like a very polite child, but I never expected him to do such a thing. You really can't judge a book by its cover!"
"Slander, this is all slander!" After a long while, Xiao Zhan slowly uttered these words. As a father, he naturally chose to believe his child. Therefore, after speaking, he immediately grabbed the chains binding Xiao Yan, wanting to break them and quickly end this farce.
However, to Xiao Zhan's surprise, the chains were indeed as incredibly strong as his clansmen had described, and he couldn't break them even with all his might. Keep in mind, he was a Great Dou Master; the fact that he couldn't even break a chain seemed unbelievable to anyone, yet it had truly happened.
"This..." Seeing that his actions had no effect, Xiao Zhan began to hesitate.
Now, as he examined the chains in front of him more closely, he suddenly realized that these chains were different from others; they were entirely formed from condensed battle qi!
It should be known that the ability to condense battle qi into objects is a technique that only Dou Ling experts can use. With his strength, even if this chain was condensed by a Dou Ling expert, he could break it with his full strength, or at the very least, it would be shaken. However, the chain in front of him is still not shaken at all. Obviously, this is not something that a Dou Ling expert can do. It must be a Dou Wang or even a Dou Huang expert!
