Half an hour later, the two teenagers who were fighting knelt down in front of the Patriarch.

Xiao Hanzhou lowered his eyes and looked over.

The contrast between the two kneeling teenagers was striking. One was covered in dust and had bloodstains on his body, while the other was not even stained on the corner of his clothes.

Xiao Hanzhou did not show any bias.There was neither concern for the injured Xiao Zhiyu, nor praise for Jiang Zhaoyu who had clearly won by more than one.He just asked lightly, "Who made the first move?"

Jiang Zhaoyu "Me."

Xiao Zhiyu didn't speak, and he wasn't in the mood to speak at the moment.

In the "fight" just now, he was almost powerless to fight back. Xiao Zhiyu thought several times that he was going to die under the opponent's hands. If the opponent did not really hold back, he might not even have the chance to kneel here right now.

But compared to the injuries on his body, what he couldn't accept at this time was the discovery that this person had been giving way to him just now?Jiang Zhaoyu actually gave way to him in the usual sparring with each other?!!

For a boy of this age, this is simply a greater humiliation than losing.

Xiao Zhiyu couldn't help thinking, what did the other party think of his usual actions?What do you think?!Maybe just watching a clown for fun, thinking he's ridiculous and boring.

The latter thought almost drove him crazy. In the second half of the "competition", Xiao Zhiyu lost all composure and only focused on rushing forward, and most of his injuries were suffered at that time.

Xiao Hanzhou didn't pay attention to Xiao Zhiyu's emotions, nor did he have such delicate thoughts.At this moment, he just looked at Jiang Zhaoyu in front of him and asked the second sentence, "Do you have anything to say?"

This kind of questioning is very rare for Xiao Hanzhou.

He was giving Jiang Zhaoyu a chance to explain.

Jiang Zhaoyu didn't seem to notice this kindness, he just lowered his head and answered two words stiffly, "Nothing."

Xiao Hanzhou glanced at him again, the expression on his face remained the same, "Take action against the same sect without authorization, according to the Xiao family's sect rules..."

——Abolished his cultivation and expelled him from the Xiao family.

Guessing what the Patriarch said next, there were bursts of gasping voices coming from the door. It was the disciples who were lying on top of each other and listening to the corner.They never expected that the head of the family would impose such a heavy punishment, that is Brother Jiang!!

The person at the bottom even shook in shock. Under the chain reaction, a group of disciples literally crawled into the main hall.

Xiao Hanzhou, who was talking, saw this, his voice paused, and his face became more serious.

At this moment, the disciples who rolled in had already kneeled neatly one by one. Although they couldn't see the expression on the Patriarch's face with their heads down, they could still feel the sudden drop in air pressure in the room.

However, there were still people who withstood the pressure and pleaded for mercy, "Patriarch has learned from you. Senior brother has always followed the rules of the sect and set an example for all disciples. There must be a reason for this incident."

It's not enough to say how popular Jiang Zhaoyu was in the sect. After all, he has such a personality that he rarely socializes with others, and his relationship with the subsequent fellow disciples can only be said to be mediocre.

However, the title of "big brother" has invisibly increased the distance from the rest of the people, and Jiang Zhaoyu's actions make people feel nothing.What's more, his cultivation level is really strong, if a fellow student really musters up the courage to ask for advice, although he is reticent, he is not stingy with giving advice.

After going back and forth like this, the fellow disciples also recognized this senior brother from the bottom of their hearts, so as soon as the first person's words came out, they immediately got the approval of the disciples next to him.

Hearing this, Xiao Hanzhou glanced at Jiang Zhaoyu, who still bowed his head and said nothing.

Xiao Hanzhou couldn't help being a little distracted, if it was before...

But he quickly remembered that even in the past, there were very few conversations between the master and the apprentice outside of routine.If they get along alone, it is common for them to practice independently all day without a word of dialogue.

On the contrary, Ah Yi always has a way to get the child to say something.

Thinking of this, Xiao Hanzhou's thoughts drifted further and further away.

He recalled that just after he came out of the Red Snow Realm, he saw A Yi passing a letter, telling him that he was going to travel and the return date was uncertain.When he came back, he only got a report from his disciples, saying that "Mr. Ren" had been away for many days.

Xiao Hanzhou didn't even think about it, and immediately made people chase him.

——He never thought that the two would be separated, how could he and Ah Yi be separated?Sometimes he does go to secret realms for experience, or ventures into dangerous places alone, but no matter when he turns around, Ah Yi will stand there and wait for him.

Xiao Hanzhou has long been used to this, and he never thought that the other party would leave on his own initiative.

There was a vague premonition in his heart as if he was about to lose something, and Xiao Hanzhou couldn't help but panic.Driven by this emotion, the investigation was quite noisy. Rumors spread in Tianhuan City that the Xiao family was chasing a fugitive.It was the thief who stole the family heirloom of the Xiao family, and some people guessed that the person had teased the Patriarch of the Xiao family severely, and the latter became furious...

The rumors spread more and more widely, and even some members of the Xiao family who didn't know the inside story believed it to be true.

Xiao Hanzhou heard this by accident, and felt that the rumors were outrageous. What he was looking for was not an enemy, but a friend.

He was thinking about this, but a doubt came to him in a trance, "Would ordinary people go to such great lengths to fight over a friend's departure?" However, this question that crept up quietly was quickly suppressed. He and Ah Yi are "best friends in life and death.", How can we talk about "ordinary friends"?

Moreover, Ah Yi has just lost his spiritual root, even if he has a bone in his body, his cultivation will inevitably be greatly damaged, so it is too dangerous to go out at this time.

...

Xiao Hanzhou's thoughts turned away for a moment, and the pleading disciples below you said to each other, and finally found a reasonable reason, "It's a 'competition'! Senior brother and senior brother Xiao are discussing each other!!"

I don't know which little clever ghost came up with this statement on a whim. As soon as the words came out, they immediately got the approval of all the fellow students who were kneeling.But there is obviously a big loophole in this unanimous statement. Someone quietly glanced at Xiao Zhiyu who had been bowing his head and not speaking.

Regarding the turbulent undercurrent between Jiang Zhaoyu and Xiao Zhiyu, the disciples below were actually aware of it.However, because Jiang Zhaoyu seldom responded, although these disciples could feel that the relationship between the two was not good, they couldn't estimate the extent of it. Such a sudden incident today caught everyone by surprise.

Although they didn't know why the senior brother made such a sudden move at that time, they could also see that after Senior Brother Xiao charged forward with a sword, the senior brother kept his hands everywhere... Will Senior Brother Xiao take this as an excuse to intercede for others?Everyone murmured in their hearts, thinking that the result of this guess might not be so optimistic.

After all, they are all from the same family and know each other well. According to Xiao Zhiyu's usual temperament, he might be going crazy at this moment. How can he help to speak?

Someone tugged on his companion's sleeve, and quietly pointed to the direction. Xiao Zhiyu's forearm trembled slightly, the veins on the back of his hand bulged, and the blood-stained sleeve was about to be torn apart by him.

Seeing this situation, the fellow disciples all said in their hearts "It's going to be bad".

No one dared to ask Xiao Zhiyu to help him intercede, so he begged Senior Brother Xiao not to speak at this moment, as long as he didn't add fuel to the flames, it would be a blessing.

But it was obvious that this thought was going to fail, and Xiao Zhiyu bowed down, before he said, "Report to Patriarch, disciple and senior brother—"

The faces of the fellow students next to him turned green, and they all accused Wang Xiang of digging a hole for the elder brother at the first person who made this statement?

The man was not to be outdone, and stared back one by one. The situation was so urgent, how could he have thought so much?!

Just as everyone was sweating from their noses and was thinking urgently about their ideas, Xiao Zhiyu continued, "It is indeed...in, in, in, in, in, in, out!"

The last few words seemed to be squeezed out between his teeth, but he really said "experience".

The classmates who were begging for mercy were stunned, and even Jiang Zhaoyu, who had kept his head down as if he didn't care about his fate, couldn't help but glanced sideways.However, Xiao Zhiyu just maintained the posture of bending over and bowing down, without moving.

In the end, this matter was settled by "comparison with the same family", but both of the parties involved were fined to copy the house rules ten times, and Jiang Zhaoyu was given ten more whips for hurting the same family. After he retired, he had to discipline himselfHall to receive punishment.

This punishment is really heavy for the "mistake" of the same door, but everyone present knows the inside story. Compared with "abolishing the cultivation base and expelling Xiao's family", this is really high and lightly put down, who is easy to talk to is not like the usual head of the house.

Everyone was confused, but when they retreated, they saw Bai Juiliu standing at the door at some point.

They suddenly realized that it was because Master Bai was there!

At this moment, they naturally guessed that Master Bai had interceded for him when they hadn't seen it just now, and they couldn't help saying in their hearts, "Master Bai's status in the Patriarch's heart is really different", and they all respectfully met Li.

With such a state of mind, they naturally didn't pay much attention to Bai Juiliu's indifferent expression, which was different from his usual gentleness.

Instead, Bai Juliu was the first to notice a gaze falling on him.

Bai Juliu also knew that he had lost his composure just now, and looked back stiffly, seeing that it wasn't Xiao Hanzhou who came over, so he was greatly relieved—it was Jiang Zhaoyu who was looking at him.

Their eyes met, and before Bai Juiliu could pull out his usual gentle smile, the latter had already bowed flatly, said "Uncle Bai", turned around and left without waiting for a response.
