Chapter 83: Chapter 83: Your Dad’s Strength is Similar to Yours

The old man took a few steps forward and glanced at Miao Tengkong lying on the ground, his murky eyes shimmering with sorrow.

In his lifetime, Miao Tianhe had three children—two sons and one daughter.

His eldest son had died young, and his daughter had also passed away. Now, his only remaining son was gone too.

"It’s all right then..." A few seconds later, Miao Tianhe shook his head, his eyes momentarily free of sorrow.

"Order it done—strip Miao Xiu of all his powers and confine him to the back cliff. Without my permission, he shall not be released," Miao Tianhe said softly.

Over the years, Miao Tengkong and his son Miao Xiu had been involved in their fair share of ridiculous actions.

For the sake of the Miao Family’s stability and succession, he had always turned a blind eye.

It seemed he had been wrong.

Indulgence had brought nothing but recklessness.

Now that Miao Tengkong had died at the hands of Lu Xiao, let him be gone.

With this, he, the Family Head, was left without an heir. According to the Miao clan rules, they could then select from the grandchildren.

Miao Qidao, that lad, was quite exceptional.

At least, he was much more reliable than Miao Tengkong.

Upon hearing Miao Tianhe’s words, the Miao Family’s members also silently mourned for Miao Xiu.

Without the Family Head’s permission, he wouldn’t be released, and given the Family Head’s health, it was feared he wouldn’t live much longer. That meant Miao Xiu would likely spend the rest of his life confined to the back cliff.

"As for you two," Miao Tianhe then looked toward Miao Chong and Miao Lifeng.

Both men swallowed nervously and quickly made their way to Lu Xiao’s side.

Lu Xiao had said he would look after us in the future.

"From now on, you will take over as heads of the family, managing all affairs of the Miao Family branches. How about that?" Miao Tianhe asked.

He had been monitoring Miao Chong previously.

Among the seventeen branches of the Miao Family, Miao Chong was outstanding in both intelligence and courage.

Although he was somewhat ambitious, that wasn’t necessarily a bad thing if used correctly.

Miao Lifeng’s eyes brightened—this was a big win. Not only were they not traitors, but they were also now directly in charge of the family.

From now on, they would be responsible for all Miao Family branch affairs, a position of great authority.

"We will follow Mr. Lu’s lead," Miao Chong remained calm, neither refusing nor accepting outright. He just resolutely followed Lu Xiao.

Miao Tianhe couldn’t help but smile.

This Miao Chong was a real talent, with a very accurate judgment of the situation.

After arranging all this, Miao Tianhe finally turned to Lu Xiao, "Is there anyone else you want to kill? If not, how about we talk more in the courtyard?"

"Fine," Lu Xiao nodded.

"Follow me."

Ten minutes later, Lu Xiao followed Miao Tianhe into an antiquated courtyard.

The courtyard wasn’t large, but it was very stylish. In the center, there was an unknown old tree whose vast branches shaded the entire sky.

"Your parents lived here before they died," Miao Tianhe lightly patted the old tree, "In the blink of an eye, more than twenty years have passed..."

Miao Tianxing, Miao Qidao, and Qin Youling, who had entered together, also stopped walking and quietly observed Miao Tianhe.

As for Lu Xiao, upon hearing the word "before they died" from Miao Tianhe, the last bit of hope in his heart was extinguished.

"Your father was Lu Zheng, your mother Situ Xin. Back then, they were pursued and by chance, escaped to the Miao Family."

"Originally, we had planned to ask your parents to leave."

Miao Tianhe’s eyes suddenly became moist, "Miao Yu, that child, was kind-hearted from a young age and at her strong insistence, your parents ended up staying."

"They lived with the Miao Family for about half a year, and then you were born."

Miao Tianhe looked at Lu Xiao. Lu Xiao resembled his mother, especially the temperament between his brows was almost identical to Situ Xin’s.

"However, the good times didn’t last long. When you were two months old, your parent’s enemies still found them."

Having said this, Miao Tianhe turned to face Lu Xiao and then deeply bowed to him.

"I’m very sorry, at that time, we had your parents leave."

Upon hearing Miao Tianhe’s words, Lu Xiao’s gaze turned cold.

The enemies arrived, and you sent my parents out, wasn’t that just sending them to their deaths?

"We had no choice. If we hadn’t done it, your parents would have still died, and the Miao Family would have perished," Miao Tianhe also gave a reason.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to, but he couldn’t.

He was the Miao Family Patriarch; he couldn’t risk the entire Miao Family to save others.

"So, who are the enemies?" Lu Xiao took a deep breath.

"The Lu Family, the Situ Family," sighed Miao Tianhe.

Lu Xiao was stunned. His father’s surname was Lu, his mother’s Situ; their enemies were actually their family members!

"I don’t know much about the Lu Family and Situ Family."

"I only heard a few things from your father. Both the Lu Family and the Situ Family are extremely ancient clans."

"These ancient families usually avoid worldly affairs, not chasing fame or fortune; instead, they focus more on the practice of martial arts."

Upon saying this, Miao Tianhe’s body began to tremble slightly.

In his eyes, there was even a trace of fear.

"Do you know how many strong people Lu Family and Situ Family dispatched when they surrounded the mountain?"

"Together, it was nearly a hundred people."

"Your father mentioned that those people were almost all stronger than him, and your father’s strength probably wasn’t inferior to yours."

Lu Xiao was slightly stunned. Not inferior to me? How can you tell?

"Grandpa, are you joking? Lu Xiao is super strong," Miao Qidao also found it a bit hard to believe.

If Lu Xiao’s dad’s power was similar to Lu Xiao’s, and the hundred people were mostly stronger than Lu Xiao’s dad,

then wouldn’t that mean those hundred people were also more formidable than Lu Xiao?

That’s a bit far-fetched, wow.
