The Xiao Household of the Central Plains (Part One)

The Xiao Household in the Northwest Continent.

"Hurry up, hurry up! Those who dawdle can stay in the Northwest Continent and guard the house; they don't need to come with us to the Central Plains!"

One of the Xiao Household's stewards was excitedly directing his clansmen to do their work.

Such scenes could be seen in almost every corner of the Xiao Household.

Of course, it was clear that the excitement on the faces of all the members of the Xiao Household was undisguised.

Furthermore, it's not hard to tell from the words of that Xiao Household steward that they are preparing to depart for Central Plains!

Yes, after the Soul Hall was destroyed, the Xiao Household planned to relocate to Central Plains to develop their business!

The Xiao Household is now incredibly large.

Staying in the Northwest Continent will not only limit our own development, but also suppress the development of other surrounding forces.

Even before the Soul Hall was destroyed, Xiao Zhan, as the current head of the Xiao Household family, had already realized this problem.

So, Xiao Zhan had already mentioned it to Xiao Lin back then.

After the Soul Hall is destroyed, the Xiao Household will be moved to the Central Plains!

Xiao Lin also offered his support.

With his current strength, he is confident that he can protect the Xiao Household!

Not to mention, the Xiao Household now includes the three brothers Xiao Yan, Xiao Li, and Xiao Ding.

By the way, Xiao Yan's five wives are all Dou Sheng, so they can also be considered part of the Xiao Household.

Not to mention that Xiao Lin also has the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace behind him.

In short, anyone who wants to harm the Xiao Household should first ask the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace and the Heavenly Mansion Alliance if they agree!

Therefore, after the destruction of the Soul Hall, Xiao Lin returned to the Xiao Household in the Northwest Continent.

Yes, Xiao Lin has been back in the Xiao Household in the Northwest Continent for almost half a year.

Then, just three days ago...

The three brothers, Xiao Yan, Xiao Li, and Xiao Ding, along with their wives and Xiao Xiao, the only fourth-generation descendant, also returned.

The return of everyone naturally made the Xiao Household even more lively.

As a result, quite a few people have been visiting the Xiao Household recently!

However, apart from a few particularly close allies, the Xiao Household has refused to receive any guests.

Because the Xiao Household is currently busy with the relocation to Central Plains, they don't have time to meet with just anyone!

As for those forces closely related to the Xiao Household, they had naturally already received the news and learned of the Xiao Household's decision to move to Central Plains.

Therefore, their feelings were quite complicated.

Who could have imagined that the Xiao Household would rise to such an unstoppable position right before their eyes!

When did this start?

Some people couldn't help but ask themselves this question.

Later, someone discovered it.

All of this seems to have happened after Xiao Lin rose to prominence!

Of course, the Xiao Household wasn't entirely heartless before they prepared to relocate to Central Plains.

Many forces closely associated with the Xiao Household, such as the Nalan Family and the Misty Cloud Sect, also had a small group of people taken to Central Plains by the Xiao Household.

These forces are not actually moving to Central Plains, but rather establishing something akin to setting up an outpost Central Plains.

In this way, they can use such an outpost to obtain resources from the Central Plains and then develop themselves.

As for whether these forces will relocate to Central Plains in the future, that's a matter for later.

At least for now, these forces have no such intention.

After all, they are not the Xiao Household of today!

At this moment, in a small courtyard of the Xiao Household, the Xiao Household members outside were busy at work, while Xiao Lin was still leisurely enjoying himself.

Well, he's the patriarch of the Xiao Household; why should he personally handle something like moving?

If there's anything that needs directives, just go to Xiao Zhan, the current clan leader.

Xiao Lin can only sigh now: Retirement is truly wonderful!

In addition, Xiao Lin was not the only one slacking off.

Xiao Yan, that kid, has learned to slack off since some point!

Right now, in this small courtyard, there are two reclining chairs. Xiao Lin is lying on one of them, and Xiao Yan is lying on the other.

"As expected, Grandpa really knows how to enjoy life!"

Xiao Yan's voice also came over at this moment.

Xiao Lin: "..."

Seeing this, Xiao Lin remained speechless.

Xiao Lin has a problem.

I enjoy slacking off on my own, but I hate seeing others slacking off with me!

Xiao Yan has clearly violated his "taboo"!

"You young man, why are you living like an old person? Didn't you see your wives all went to help? What are you doing here imitating me?"

Xiao Lin rolled his eyes at his grandson before speaking.

Xiao Yan, however, showed absolutely no remorse!

"Grandpa, you can't say that! You have to understand, in Central Plains, many people now call me 'senior' when they see me! Since I'm already being called a senior, what's wrong with living the life of an old man?"

Xiao Yan was quite self-righteous!

Then, after a pause, Xiao Yan added, "But Grandpa, you've been back slacking off for half a year now, and you didn't even tell me beforehand! I thought you'd disappeared again!"

In fact, Xiao Yan only learned that the Xiao Household was moving to Central Plains when the family returned three days ago.

Xiao Yan was both surprised and delighted by this.

What pleased him most was that after the Xiao Household moved to Central Plains, he would be able to see his family more often.

What shocked him was that he had absolutely no idea about this beforehand!

Indeed, neither Xiao Lin nor Xiao Zhan seemed to have mentioned this matter to Xiao Yan...

So, Xiao Yan, who was happily bringing his five wives back to visit his parents, was completely stunned when he saw the busy Xiao Household.

Especially when he learned that while he was leading the Heavenly Mansion Alliance in a life-or-death battle against the Soul Hall, his grandfather had gone back to the Xiao Household to slack off, Xiao Yan was filled with resentment.

But what can you do when he's the grandson?

Even if you feel wronged, you have to keep it to yourself!

"Why would I disappear? I only came back after watching the battle at the Fallen Peak, okay? You were all in Central Plains at the time. The Xiao Household was moving to Central Plains, such a big thing, I had to keep an eye on things, didn't I?"

I can slack off because with me around, no one dares to cause trouble!

Do you think I'm like you, spending the last six months indulging in pleasure and comfort?

Xiao Lin never hesitates to criticize his own grandson.

As soon as Xiao Lin finished speaking, Xiao Yan, who had been so self-righteous, instantly felt guilty.

What my grandfather said seems to make a lot of sense...

Then, Xiao Yan's expression changed instantly.

"Hehe, Grandpa, what are you saying? You're the capable one, so you should do more! But don't worry, Grandpa, leave the relocation of the Xiao Household entirely to me!"

After habitually touching his nose with embarrassment, Xiao Yan took on the task and said.

Hearing this, Xiao Lin finally revealed a smile of "successful plot".

He was just waiting for Xiao Yan to say those words!

For some reason, when Xiao Yan saw his grandfather's smile, he instantly sensed that something was wrong.

The next second, he immediately realized that he had fallen for a trap!
