Chapter 319 Grandpa, what's wrong with you?
When Xiao Wanwan saw Ling Chuxue's panic-stricken expression, her heart instantly rose to her throat, as if millions of ants were crawling around in her heart, making her extremely anxious and uneasy.
She no longer cared about anything else, and hurriedly took steps, rushing into the inner room as fast as the wind.
As soon as she stepped into the inner room, Xiao Wanwan saw Xiao Batian, whose face was as pale as a piece of white paper, lying quietly on the bed.
This scene deeply hurt Xiao Wanwan's heart, causing her to gasp involuntarily, and her whole body became a little stiff due to tension and worry.
"Grandpa, you...what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Wanwan quickly ran to the bed and threw herself beside Xiao Batian. Her voice was filled with tears and her eyes had unconsciously turned slightly red.
For Xiao Wanwan, this kind and benevolent old man has always cared for her sincerely and given her endless warmth and care.
Therefore, deep in her heart, she had long regarded Xiao Batian as one of her closest relatives.
Xiao Wanwan's hand trembled slightly as she slowly reached forward and gently held Xiao Batian's slightly cold and dry hand.
Just when she held Xiao Batian's hand, Xiao Batian, who had his eyes closed and seemed unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes and jumped up from the bed with nimble movements.
"My darling Wanwan, when did you come back?"
Although Xiao Batian's face was still as pale as snow, his eyes were exceptionally bright, as dazzling as the twinkling stars in the night sky.
When he saw Xiao Wanwan appear in front of him, a smile of great relief and joy immediately broke out on his face.
Xiao Wanwan obviously did not expect Xiao Batian to suddenly stand up so quickly. She was frightened and trembled all over, and subconsciously took half a step back.
After she saw that Xiao Batian was in a pretty good mood at the moment, her heart finally settled down a little, her tense nerves relaxed, and she couldn't help but reveal a happy smile.
"Grandpa, you're okay! That's great! I was so scared just now!"
Xiao Wanwan patted her chest gently to calm her still pounding heart and said happily.
"Haha, silly child, what could possibly happen to grandpa? Don't worry, grandpa is fine!"
Xiao Batian laughed heartily, and his laughter echoed in the inner room, sounding particularly loud.
He stretched out a big, broad hand and gently rubbed Xiao Wanwan's beautiful black hair, while his eyes carefully looked from top to bottom at the graceful granddaughter in front of him.
His eyes couldn't help but reveal a look of kindness. He smiled and nodded, sighing.
"Well, my baby Wanwan is getting more and more beautiful. She has grown into a big girl!"
"Father, how do you feel?"
Xiao Junhe took a few steps forward, the worry still on his face.
"nothing."
Xiao Batian let go of Xiao Wanwan and stood up carelessly.
"Xiao Se and his men were able to plot against me. I was just trying to take advantage of their tricks. I wanted to see how many evildoers our Xiao family was hiding."
If Wanwan hadn't come back, he would have had to lie down for a while longer, allowing Xiao Se to be proud for a few days.
As he spoke, he quickly walked up to Master Yu Yuan and bowed.
"Is this Wanwan's headmaster? I'm honored to meet you. I'm sorry to bother you with something at home. Please take a seat!"
The pale color on Xiao Batian's face disappeared in an instant, replaced by his former rosy face.
He led Master Yu Yuan to a seat, and instructed Xiao Junhe and his wife to serve tea. Then he looked at Yun Mubai and the other three and smiled heartily.
"I know you guys, you're Wanwan's senior brothers."
"Meet Grandpa Xiao."
Yun Mubai and the other three looked at each other, then respectfully stepped forward to pay their respects to Xiao Batian.
"Yeah, not bad! They're all good kids."
Although Xiao Batian was puzzled about how Yun Mubai and the other three came to the fairyland, he knew that this was not a good time to ask.
"Jun He, remove the formation. I want to see how many monsters and demons our Xiao family is hiding."
"Yes, father."
Xiao Junhe left the inner room and walked to the gate to remove the protective formation in Xiao Batian's courtyard.
Not long after, the Great Elder Xiao Se was seen leading a few people in a hurry and walking quickly, and in the blink of an eye they arrived at the center of the yard.
His sharp eyes like an eagle swept across and instantly fell on Xiao Junhe, and he took the initiative to attack without hesitation.
"Jun He! Your father's life or death is uncertain right now. How can a family as big as our Xiao family be without a leader or a person in charge?"
Xiao Junhe's face was as gloomy as water. He stood steadily at the door, stretching out his hand to stop everyone who wanted to enter the house. His eyes were cold and firm, staring straight at Xiao Se.
"Great Elder, what do you mean by this? You actually sent people to surround my father's house. What exactly is going on?"
Hearing this, Xiao Se laughed out loud, and his laughter echoed throughout the courtyard, sounding particularly harsh.
"Hahahaha... Jun He, everyone knows that the head of the family met with an unexpected accident. There's no point in arguing about it now. It would be better to quickly elect a new head of the Xiao family so that the Xiao family can stabilize as soon as possible."
The reason why Xiao Batian fell into a coma was entirely because of Xiao Se's own secret plot.
He thought he had acted carefully and had not left any clues, so he was very sure that no one would notice it.
Even if Sect Master Yu Yuan personally stepped in to investigate, what would that do? As long as he couldn't produce solid evidence, could he really stand up for Xiao Batian?
Thinking of this, Xiao Se's panic when he first saw Master Yu Yuan gradually calmed down.
As long as he can successfully ascend to the position of the head of the family, then from now on, all matters big and small in the Xiao family will naturally be decided by him alone.
"What the Great Elder said is absolutely right!"
Xiao Qiang, the fourth elder of the Xiao family, who had been following Xiao Se silently, suddenly spoke up in agreement.
He had already been bribed and won over by the Great Elder with promises of huge profits, and now he was taking advantage of the situation and pretending to be in agreement as if it was his right.
"Our Xiao family is a big family in Tianyin City, and we can't be without someone in charge."
"Oh, is it so?"
Xiao Junhe slowly raised his head and his gaze fell coldly on Xiao Qiang, making it impossible to tell any emotion from him.
"Since the Fourth Elder thinks so, then in your opinion, who is the most qualified to take on the position of head of our Xiao family?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qiang straightened his chest, strode forward two steps, cleared his throat and spoke loudly.
"The Great Elder is very powerful and highly respected. The next Patriarch of our Xiao Family should naturally be the Great Elder."
