Signing In BTTH

Chapter 79 Too Incompetent!

Looking at Hun Han's disappearing back, the 3 Elders of the Xiao Clan could no longer sit still.

"Xiao Zhan, you brought up a good son!" An Elder shouted angrily at Xiao Zhan.

"Yes. To satisfy your selfish desires, you abandon the great cause of your Clan. They were offering 5 Qi Gathering Powders, each costs 1,000,000 Gold Coins and Tier 4 Pills! And you! You rejected it!" The Second Elder shouted in a deep voice.

"3 Elders, I want to ask what did I, Xiao Yan do wrong? Today, if the person whose engagement was being annulled was your son or grandson, can you accept their compensation?" Xiao Yan slowly turned around, his lips pursed with mockery as he asked with a smile. The 3 Elders' disdain for him was obvious, so Xiao Yan did not give them any respect as his Elders.

"Heh, you are amazing. With a casual sentence, you rejected 5 Qi Gathering Power and Tier 4 Pills. Since they are determined to annul the engagement, why should we not obtain some benefits from it? We could gain 5 Dou Zhe, bolstering our Clan's strength. We could have even obtained Pills that help a Da Dou Shi ascend 3 Stars in a short period! Is this not enough compensation for our Clan?!" The Grand Elder scolded angrily.

"Yes, if the other party offered such compensation, then they are resolute and determined to annul the engagement. Instead of rejecting them, this old man would rather accept their compensation." The Second Elder Xiao Ying also nodded in agreement.

"Moreover, they did not come here with great fanfare and notify the public, instead, they came and discussed this matter with us privately without their Elders! This is giving us face! Have you have seen such a private and peaceful annulment of an engagement in Wu Tan City?! Xiao Zhan, I seriously doubt whether you are worthy of being the Patriarch! You put the opinion of a 5-year-old child before the interest and benefit of the Clan!" Xiao Dingtian, the Third Elder glared at Xiao Zhan.

Regarding this, Xiao Zhan had nothing to say. He was tacitly admitting that what the 3 Elders were saying is the truth. At that moment, as the Patriarch of the Xiao Clan, he should have put the interests of the Xiao Clan before anything else. However, because he spoiled Xiao Yan, he gave in and followed Xiao Yan's emotion-filled response.

Finally, the other party forcefully annulled the engagement, and all the benefits that they were offering them were withdrawn. Moreover, Xiao Yan's final words must have annoyed Misty Cloud Sect Master's junior brother. Even he did not believe that Xiao Yan could progress enough in 3 years to surpass a 6-year-old child who is currently a Da Dou Shi, who knows what stage that monster will reach in 3 years.

He had indeed miscalculated.

None of this should have happened!

Of course, it may have been because Xiao Yan is his son and he wanted to protect his child's self-esteem that he did this.

"You are right. As the Grand Elder of the Xiao Clan, I announce that Xiao Zhan will be deposed as Patriarch. On the Eighth day of the following month, we will hold a Clan meeting and re-elect a Patriarch who puts their Clan and its benefits first! Someone, who can actually take care of the Clan, like a Patriarch is supposed to!" The Grand Elder said solemnly.

"This proposal is not valid! I did not make a mistake and everything is fine! And besides, my seat as Patriarch was set down by the previous Patriarch. The 3 of you have no right to dismiss me as Patriarch. Anyway, I have something to do, so I will not be accompanying you any longer! Xiao Yan, let's go!" Xiao Zhan stood up, took Xiao Yan, and walked out of the Xiao Clan hall.

(T/N: When you say its fine but its not really fine....)

Looking at Xiao Zhan's back, the Second Elder Xiao Ying solemnly asked: "First Elder, Third Elder, what should we do? From now on, our Xiao Clan has not only offended the Nalan Clan, but also the Misty Cloud Sect!"

Hun Han is Misty Cloud Sect's Junior Uncle Master, he is Yun Yun's junior brother and Nalan Yanran is the Eldest Lady of the Nalan Clan and the personal disciple of Misty Cloud Sect's Sect Master Yun Yun. Naturally, their Clan will have difficulties in the future because of what happened today!

"Yes, Xiao Zhan was originally elected as the Patriarch because his child Xiao Yan had a marriage contract with the Nalan Clan. Now that the engagement has been annulled, this relationship is lost, I am worried that the other 2 Clans in Wu Tan City will take advantage of this. After all, we no longer have the deterrence we had in the past!" The Second Elder Xiao Ying added.

"Sigh!"

The Grand Elder could only sigh, helplessly he spoeke: "What else can we do now? I just hope that Misty Cloud Sect and the Nalan Clan do not cause trouble for our Xiao Clan, we should burn incense and hope nothing bad happens, otherwise, we can only forcefully dismiss Xiao Zhan from his position as Patriarch! A dignified Patriarch follows his child's decision rather than doing what is best for the Clan! He is incompetent as a Patriarch!"

...

"Brother Han Xun, Brother Han Xun..."

As soon as Hun Han stepped out, a young girl's immature voice came from behind.

Hun Han stopped and looked at Gu Xun'er who was chasing him, and said with a smile: "Sister Xun'er, what do you need me for?"

Gu Xun'er pouted and said, "Can I not look for you if I want to?"

Hun Han laughed, he replied, "Of course, you can find me whenever you want!"

Gu Xun'er was overjoyed and walked to Hun Han's side and asked, "Brother Han Xun, are you leaving again?"

Hun Han nodded and replied: "Yes, after participating in Jia Nan Academies entrance examination, I will leave!"

"Jia Nan Academy?"

"Jia Nan Academy?"

Gu Xun'er and Nalan Yanran both looked in surprise at Hun Han.

Nalan Yanran's eyes full of dissatisfaction, she asked, "Junior Uncle Master, are you not going back to the Misty Cloud Sect with me? Our Misty Cloud Sect also has lots of things that can help you improve your cultivation rapidly!"

Hun Han shook his head. In the entire continent, the best place for a Da Dou Shi and Dou Ling is Jia Nan Academy. Why? Because of its Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.

Not to mention the Misty Cloud Sect, even the Hun Clan has many good locations that accelerate one's cultivation, but for Da Dou Shi and Dou Ling stage cultivators, they do not possess cultivation grounds and items that are better than Jia Nan Academy's Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower. At most, they are as good as the Tower, at worst, they are incomparable to the other.

Since Hun Han has not gone to the Hall of Souls' Man Hall to assume his position as the Deputy Hall Master, he has suggested to the entire Hun Clan that he has no intention of obtaining the Patriarch's position. This may let people with incredible power and support in the Clan like Hun Feng lay off his back for a while.

In the original storyline, in the next 15 years, Hun Feng will rapidly progress and become a 2 Star Dou Sheng. He, Hun Han must take precautions and similarly grow at the same or even faster rate than Hun Feng and become at least a 2 Star Dou Sheng by the end of these 15 years.

"No, I am determined. After taking the assessment, I will send you back to the Misty Cloud Sect, and then I will set off to Jia Nan Academy." Hun Han rejected Nalan Yanran's suggestion.

As for Gu Xun'er, she already knows about Jia Nan Academy and agrees with him going there to cultivate and study.

"Sister Xun'er, we are going to the Miteer Auction House now, do you want to go with us?" Hun Han asked with a smile.

"Really? It just so happens that I have been getting bored in the Xiao Clan Mansion! Let's go!" Gu Xun'er answered without hesitation, she does not want to let go of any chance of being with her brother Han Xun.
