Super Rich Fantasy: I Grow Stronger By Spending Money-Chapter 340 - 340 Reaping What You Sow

340 Reaping What You Sow

“What kind of fortuitous encounter did Xiao Mingyan encounter to actually obtain such a powerful root bone? It’s really too magical.”

“The Xiao clan has made one wrong move this time and lost the entire game. I think that Xiao Wuyou is probably crippled. They have also offended Xiao Mingyan, so they will definitely not have a good time in the future.”

“In my opinion, this Xiao clan head is really stupid. He didn’t nurture his own talented eldest son and went to bet his treasure on Xiao Wuyou. So what if they’re not blood-related? He’s already raised Xiao Mingyan for more than 20 years.”

“That’s right. Now that one of his sons is crippled and the other has turned against the clan, I don’t think the Xiao clan can hold on for long. They’re going downhill soon.”

News of what happened at the Xiao clan’s banquet spread like wildfire. Almost the entire Jade City knew about it, and it became a joke.

Even if Xiao Hong wanted to keep the news a secret, he had the will but not the strength. The Xiao clan was already in a mess because of Xiao Mingyan and Xiao Wuyou, and on top of that, the things they did to Xiao Mingyan had completely disgraced the Xiao clan.

He was clearly the leader of Jade City, yet he had become the shame of Jade City. No one took his words seriously. 𝘧𝘳𝐞𝚎𝑤ℯ𝘣𝗻𝘰ѵℯl.c𝐨𝚖

Firstly, it was because Xiao Mingyan’s encounter was too tragic. Secondly, with his current cultivation level, and the fact that he had clearly cut off all ties with the Xiao clan, no one wanted to offend him. Thus, the Xiao clan naturally became an easy target to bully.

Not to mention that the Zhao clan, Fu clan, and other clans were eyeing them covetously as if they felt that the fire was not big enough and wanted to see the world in chaos.

Xiao Hong had been so busy these days that his hair had turned white overnight. Even so, the Xiao clan’s crisis had not been resolved but had instead become more and more serious.

No one sympathized with them. Instead, they were all waiting to see the Xiao clan make a fool of themselves. The Xiao clan had brought this upon themselves. They had a good hand of cards and completely wasted it away.

“I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but the young man who came with Xiao Mingyan looks unfamiliar. Moreover, Xiao Mingyan was very respectful to him.”

“That’s right, I wonder where that person came from.”

Ye Xuan’s identity was also discussed along with Xiao Mingyan. No one knew who he was. Some people wanted to investigate him, but they didn’t get any information. They only knew that he came from the capital and seemed to have some conflicts with the Zhao clan.

“Could he be the one who helped Xiao Mingyan? Otherwise, based on Xiao Mingyan’s character, why would he be so respectful to him?”

Someone said it casually, but he didn’t expect to guess the truth spot on.

The Zhao clan had originally wanted to cause trouble for Ye Xuan. They probably knew that Zhao Qing and the others wouldn’t be able to return, and were most likely killed as well. However, due to Xiao Mingyan’s current cultivation, they didn’t dare to act rashly for the time being.

Originally, Zhao Huaifeng wanted to go, but he was stopped by Zhao Ru. 𝒇𝑟𝐞𝐞w𝐞𝑏𝙣𝑜vℯl.co𝑚

On the other side, Xiao Hong had not rested for several days.

“Bad news, Patriarch. The Zhao clan, the Fu clan, and a few other major clans have jointly declared that the second young master has been deposed and that the previous competition result is no longer valid. They request re-election.”

Several big clans joining hands to deal with the Xiao clan made the already bad situation worse.

Xiao Hong’s face was ashen. He gritted his teeth and said, “These people are clearly looting a burning house! How dare they?!”

In his heart, he was cursing these people, but he was helpless. The Xiao clan’s situation was really not good, and it was very likely that they would not be able to get up again.

However, bad news came one after another.

“Bad news, Patriarch. Second young master…”

Hearing his subordinate’s report, Xiao Hong felt his temples throb. He asked, “What’s the matter now?”

“Second young master smashed everything in his room. He said he was going to take revenge on Xiao Mingyan.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hong looked as if he had aged ten years. He smiled sarcastically and said, “Revenge! What does he want to take revenge with? Now that the entire Xiao clan is in trouble because of him, does he want to drag everyone down with him?”

Xiao Hong was filled with regret now. If he had stopped Liu Ruxue and Xiao Wuyou back then, and even if the incident had happened, he should have treated Xiao Mingyan better as compensation.

He understood Xiao Mingyan’s character. This child wasn’t a stone-hearted person. If Xiao Hong had dealt with the aftermath a little better, instead of choosing to ignore it, things wouldn’t have ended up like this.

Liu Ruxue’s shrill voice rang out, “What do you mean by that? Is everything Wuyou’s fault? Wuyou is the victim. If you want to blame someone, blame that b*stard!”

Now that Xiao Mingyan’s background was exposed, Liu Ruxue didn’t have any scruples at all and decided to go all out.

“Shut up, you vicious woman!”

Xiao Hong was already annoyed, and Liu Ruxue was even pestering him. “Do you think that the Xiao clan doesn’t have enough trouble? If it wasn’t for your vicious heart, Xiao Mingyan wouldn’t have cut off all ties with the Xiao clan, and he wouldn’t have…”

Liu Ruxue was so angry that she laughed, “You’re regretting it, aren’t you? Why didn’t you stop me when I did it? You’re only criticizing me now. I was not happy to see that b*stard getting stronger…”

Liu Ruxue jabbered on and on, stabbing Xiao Hong’s heart with every word she said.

The two of them started arguing again after a few words and even started fighting. It was ridiculous that the former lovers had become resentful partners.

The Xiao clan was in a state of chaos. What had happened had become everyone’s gossip material. Not only had they become a laughing stock, but their status had also plummeted. The good reputation that they had previously accumulated had almost all been destroyed.

Xiao Mingyan’s sudden rise to power had caused some to speculate that he had already reached the peak of sky rank, or even broken through the sky rank. The Xiao clan was on bad terms with him, and with Xiao Wuyou’s current condition, it could be said that the Xiao clan had no successor, so they were no longer afraid.

Naturally, these things also reached Xiao Mingyan’s ears.
