Chapter 4023 For Him

But this beautiful scenery could not cover up the murderous aura emanating from Xiao Huaiyuan, which had already penetrated into Xiao Huaiyuan's bones.

"Oh? Who will come to see me? Could it be that Xiao Huaili sent someone to monitor me again?"

Xiao Huaiyuan had his back to his subordinates. When he heard the news, he did not turn around. During this period of time, the news he heard was mixed.

He could not help but worry about the future of the Xiao clan. Unfortunately, he could not turn the world around with his own strength.

The good news is that Xiao Huaili did not let Xiao Qing continue to follow him. He ordered the things here and let Xiao Huaiyuan decide alone. He did not need to report everything to him. It was equivalent to handing all the power to Xiao Huaiyuan.

But on the other hand, Xiao Huaili sent three confidants. In comparison, Xiao Huaiyuan would rather let Xiao Qing follow him. Xiao Qing was pampered and would create some trouble for himself when doing things.

Xiao Huaili's three confidants were always watching his every move, which made Xiao Huaiyuan very uncomfortable. He had to let these three people know everything he did. Xiao Huaili was indeed a mean man who considered everything for himself.

What he cared about more was that several elders, most of whom had been bribed by Xiao Huaili, were about to reach the position of clan leader. It was time for the first round of selection. Without any special surprises, the next clan leader would inevitably fall on Xiao Qing.

"Elder, I didn't ask in detail, but I can see that this person is not the clan leader's confidant. He seems to have something to do with you."

"Except for Xiao Huaili's confidant, I really can't think of anyone else who wants to see me."

Xiao Huaiyuan put his hands behind his back and made a gesture with his hand, indicating that his subordinates could bring this person in, wanting to see who he was.

At this moment, Xiao Huaixin was already in the villa. One of the two guards was responsible for reporting and telling the elders about the purpose of this person's visit, so that the elders could make a decision.

After getting Xiao Huaiyuan's permission, he returned to Xiao Huaixin again and smiled.

"The elder is waiting for you up there, please follow me."

"Thank you!"

After walking through a garden and a rockery, there was an artificial lake in front of him. In the center of the artificial lake was an isolated pavilion.

There was no road leading to the pavilion, and there were no boats available on the lake. Standing outside the railing by the lake, Xiao Huaixin's eyes were fixed on the back of the man standing with his hands behind his back in the pavilion.

The guards had brought Xiao Huaixin here. Their mission was completed, and the rest was left to Xiao Huaixin. Going to the center of the lake required his own ability and skills. If he couldn't even do this, he would not be qualified to be a descendant of the Xiao clan.

"Senior, we will withdraw first."

After the two turned around and left, Xiao Huaixin's mouth corners showed a smile under the mask.

He jumped up and stepped on the railing with one foot, then turned over and jumped into the lake. Such a simple thing was not difficult for him. He jumped into the lake but did not enter the water.

Standing steadily on the lake surface with two feet, the entire lake surface was like a solid solid. Xiao Huaixin walked slowly towards the pavilion in the center of the lake.

One minute later...

Xiao Huaixin stepped onto the steps and walked into the pavilion. At this moment, Xiao Huaiyuan still had his back to him.

"You live a very comfortable life."

"Haha, if your heart is at ease, you can be free everywhere. If your heart is not at ease, even in this paradise, you still can't be calm."

Slowly turning around and looking at the man in front of him wearing a mask, Xiao Huaiyuan really felt a little surprised. What is the identity of this person in front of him?

Since he is a member of the Xiao clan, why should he meet him in this way? It is not a manly thing to hide. Xiao Huaiyuan tried to see the real face under this mask.

"Okay, you don't have to look at me like this. My identity is very special. I have to meet you in this way because I have reasons to do so."

Xiao Huaixin knew what Xiao Huaiyuan was thinking. The two of them were about the same strength. In the Xiao clan, Xiao Huaixin was labeled as an incompetent waste.

So Xiao Huaiyuan would not think of who he was even if he racked his brains. Since he had said so, Xiao Huaiyuan could only put away his thoughts.

"Okay, I respect your choice. Tell me why you are looking for me this time."

"The remnants of the Black Dragon Clan are making trouble in one place. I hope you can send people to eliminate these people."

Xiao Huaixin said straight to the point. Such conditions were not excessive. Originally, Xiao Huaiyuan's expedition this time was to eliminate the remnants of the Black Dragon Clan and end the thousand-year struggle between the two clans.

It's just that he needs reasons to do things, and he doesn't like others to give him orders. Xiao Huaiyuan walked to the middle of the pavilion and sat on a stone bench.

He took the teapot and poured two cups of tea. With such an attitude, it seemed that this matter was not that simple. It really took some effort to convince this stubborn old man.

"You should know that the Black Dragon Clan has revived. In addition to the territory of China, they are active in the outside world. I want to conquer them, but I don't want to reach so far."

"So you refuse?"

"It's not a refusal. I want a suitable reason. The reason you found me must be to convince me."

Xiao Huaiyuan waited for this person to tell the truth, and let him do things, but he needed to know the reason for this matter and who he was fighting for. This was very important to him.

"Well, since you want to hear it so clearly, then I will tell you the whole story."

Xiao Huaixin told Xiao Huaiyuan all about Xiao Yi's establishment of a mercenary group and the troubles he encountered. He thought that since the two met last time, Xiao Huaiyuan did not embarrass Xiao Yi, and he must have taken into account the friendship of the same clan.

"That's the thing. The battle in the mercenary world originally did not require the participation of practitioners, but the Black Dragon Clan violated the rules and brought a fatal threat to his people."

"So you are here to be a lobbyist for that Xiao Yi. This Xiao Yi is quite capable. He actually developed his own mercenary group abroad. Should I say that he is young and promising, or that he doesn't know what's good for him."

Xiao Huaiyuan sighed, as if there were other meanings in this sentence, which were not explained here. He just understood the reason this time.

"Since you are a member of the Xiao clan, you should understand that Xiao Yi's position and situation are very delicate. It's not that I don't want to help him, but I don't know how to help him. After all, behind me, the patriarch of the Xiao clan has a paternal grudge against Xiao Yi!"
