Chapter 566 Misbehavior
Xie Qianjue calmly put away a corner of the dragon pendant, intending to take it back to Yun Yici.
But he didn't have much hope.
His intuition told him that the old man was very strong, and the oppressive feeling was even stronger than that of Shen Huaichuan.
To his surprise, the old man only asked a question and showed no intention of forcibly taking it.
Xie Qianjue understood.
What he collected were perhaps the most insignificant scraps, which the old man didn't even notice.
The real dragon pendant is still deep within the Xie family's possessions.
Xie Qianjue and the old man stood facing each other, neither of them speaking a word.
Xie Qianjue was cautious and vigilant, but the old man became more and more satisfied with the young man.
"Young man, what is your name?"
"Xie Qianjue, what about you?"
"Nine Desolations".
"..."
Never mind if I didn't ask.
None of the guards dared to approach the old man and the young man until Xie Yuanchen arrived with Xie Sanjue.
Xie Yuanchen and Xie Sanjue first bowed to Jiuhuang: "Ancestor."
Before they could say anything more, Jiuhuang's next words terrified them.
"Since Xie Qianjue can make the Dragon Pendant recognize him as its master, he will become the next head of the Xie family."
“I will personally add him to the family genealogy, take him as my apprentice, and train him well.”
Xie Qianjue: ? ? ?
What? The position of family head fell from the sky?
Xie Yuanchen and his son were shocked.
Xie Sanjue angrily questioned, "Ancestor! I refuse to accept this!"
"What kind of family head is he! I've been working on the Dragon Pendant for over a hundred years, this kid just got lucky and snagged it!"
"I am the rightful next head of the family!"
As soon as Xie Sanjue spoke, the invisible pressure from the Nine Desolations caused terrifying blood to gush from his mouth, nose, and five orifices.
Xie Yuanchen was slippery; he grabbed Xie Sanjue and pulled him down to kneel.
"Grand Ancestor! Jue'er is young and impetuous. He has been burdened with the empty title of Young Master since childhood and cannot accept it for a while. Please spare his life, Grand Ancestor!"
"As for Brother Xie taking on the role of family head, I have no objection!"
Xie Sanjue's face was covered in blood. He never expected that Jiuhuang, who had always been kind to him like an elder, would abandon him like this, and even turn against his own father.
Jiuhuang: "Considering that you grew up under my care since childhood, I will spare your life today."
"If anyone is disrespectful or speaks rudely to the head of the family again, they will be dealt with according to the family rules!"
Xie Sanjue's face twitched, and in his great grief, he vomited another mouthful of blood and fainted completely.
Xie Yuanchen apologized to Jiuhuang and wanted to take Xie Sanjue down to receive treatment.
But Jiuhuang added, "Let's see which of the other three families has a talented eldest daughter. We can forget about Xue Wan."
Xie Sanjue had told him about his marriage to Xue Wan.
Xie Yuanchen's eyelids twitched: "So, you're looking for a Daoist partner for Brother Qianjue?"
With the position of family head and the opportunity to be taught by Jiuhuang, even if Xie Qianjue couldn't awaken his talent, there would probably be people willing to take the position.
Once the marriage is finalized and the wife's family provides support, Xie Qianjue's position as the head of the family will be unshakeable.
Jiuhuang: "Xie Qianjue and Long Pei are highly compatible. Given time, he will surely awaken his precognitive talent and restore the glory of the Xie family."
"It's their business if they don't know its value. If they're unwilling today, then wait until they send their daughters to be their concubines in the future."
Xie Qianjue objected, "Don't dream about it, I won't marry the woman you've chosen for me!"
Even if it were his parents' wish, he would never obey and marry a stranger.
Moreover, he simply couldn't accept this bizarre theory of wives and concubines.
Daoist couples should support each other; if they add other people, they will become a pair of resentful lovers.
If he takes advantage of his current power to act recklessly and take wives and concubines, what face will he have to ask others for sincerity when he is old and frail?
Jiuhuang turned his head and asked, "Do you already have a Daoist partner?"
Xie Qianjue shook his head: "I prefer men. Why don't you ask other families to send their eldest sons over?"
"I think someone like Chief Xie would be quite good."
If he weren't afraid that Jiuhuang would kill him in a fit of rage to silence him, he would have said Jiuhuang's name.
Xie Yuanchen cautiously took a step back, dragging his beloved son along: "Cough cough cough... I have a wife, a concubine, two sons, and a daughter."
Jiuhuang scolded, "Where did you learn this bad habit?"
"The harmony of Yin and Yang is the natural order of things!"
"I think we really need to work on your personality!"
Xie Yuanchen wanted to curse, but that wasn't the point at all. What family would send their eldest son over for a man to "admire"?
Xie Qianjue: "If there are no benefits, then I won't be the head of the family."
"That dragon pendant sounds impressive, but it's actually only a tiny bit."
Xie Qianjue deliberately pinched the tip of his little finger with his thumb to indicate that it was really only "a little bit".
Xie Yuanchen's face darkened: "The Dragon Pendant is the most precious treasure of my Xie family. How can we treat it as a joke?"
Xie Qianjue smiled innocently: "You can just casually take it out and give it to an unknown person like me for a blood test, so it doesn't seem like you treasure it that much."
Jiuhuang: "I haven't investigated this matter yet. In the past, bloodline verification was done with blood samples. Why did you bring out the Dragon Pendant fragment this time?"
Xie Yuanchen felt that this kid named Xie Qianjue was really their nemesis.
Sweat beaded on his forehead: "Perhaps the people below took the wrong one."
Jiuhuang remained silent and did not even raise an eyelid: "How many years have you been the head of the family? How can you allow such a fool to touch the Dragon Pendant fragments at will?"
"This time it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, so I will not pursue the matter further."
"Next time, you should step down and give way to a more capable person."
Xie Yuanchen was immediately shocked. Just who was Xie Qianjue?
The Nine Desolate Ancestor was so eager to help the other party ascend to the throne?
His mind was in turmoil, but he managed to steady his breathing: "Yes!"
Jiuhuang said to Xie Qianjue, "You should return to the forbidden area with me first. Three days later, I will open the ancestral hall, add you to the family genealogy, and announce your identity to the public."
Xie Qianjue had no right to refuse.
Under Jiuhuang's very nose, he didn't even have the chance to secretly open the communication talisman.
Yun Yici anticipated this situation and told him that if he was in mortal danger, he should disregard everything and crush the communication talisman. She would arrive immediately and smash his head in!
