Chapter 4077 Who Else but Me?
Xiao Yi didn't want to lie in front of Xiao Huaiyuan. He really didn't think of how to answer this question.
This question has a lot to do with it, especially when Xiao Yi thought of the answer, he fell into pain, worried before and after, and he couldn't calm down.
"It seems that you came here this time not to fulfill your previous promise and give me a clear answer."
"Yes!"
"If that's the case, then why did you come to see me? What I want is an answer, not you who are so confused now."
Xiao Huaiyuan offered incense to these tablets, turned around and looked at Xiao Yi behind him. In Xiao Yi's eyes, all he saw was the word confusion.
Such a person cannot give himself an answer.
"If you can't give me a suitable answer, then you should go back first and come back to me when you have the answer in your heart."
Xiao Yi had no intention of leaving, and his purpose of coming here was not simply to give Xiao Huaiyuan answers.
"Don't you want to kill me?"
"Kill you?"
"I said before that as long as I live, I will eventually seek revenge on Xiao Huaili. As the elder of the clan, you have the responsibility to organize all of this to happen. You told me this before."
Xiao Yi kept the conversation between the two people in mind, and also knew Xiao Huaiyuan's attitude towards this matter.
If he wants to fight back to the Xiao clan, he must first pass this level. Xiao Huaiyuan is a very strong opponent, and now his strength cannot even beat him.
Xiao Huaiyuan indeed said that, and this was also because Xiao Yi did not give his own answer, but it was different now, Xiao Huaiyuan had a glimmer of hope in his heart.
"I did say that, and this is also my responsibility as an elder. Do you know why I knew about your existence, but I didn't do anything to you, and I agreed to help you?"
"I guess this has nothing to do with me being a member of the Xiao clan."
"Haha...you are indeed right."
Xiao Huaiyuan smiled and said that he did things differently from others. Maybe others handled this matter and wanted to get rid of such a troublesome Xiao Yi for Xiao Huaili.
After walking a few steps inside the hall, Xiao Huaiyuan stood by a window, looking at the scenery outside and recalling many past events that made him sigh with emotion.
"More than twenty years have passed. Although I was not involved in that incident, I chose to side with Xiao Huaili, which was tantamount to betraying your father. This was the biggest mistake in my life."
"So, you were also my father's son before?"
"No one can say that. Your father's personality was very charming and deeply influenced the people of the Xiao clan. Even now, many people miss him when he was in the Xiao clan."
At that time, Xiao Huaiyuan was also one of many people. It was not until later that he came into contact with Xiao Huaili that his perception deviated.
The Xiao clan needs someone to bring about a huge change, rather than like it is now, especially Xiao Huaiyi's style of doing things, which takes the word friendship as too important. Such a person is not suitable to sit in the position of clan leader.
So Xiao Huaili won over many people and became his confidants, and found the right time to launch the attack. In the end, he succeeded in taking over.
But in fact, it was not what Xiao Huaiyuan thought. Xiao Huaili became the clan leader and he only thought about himself. People around him were constantly under suspicion, making the situation of the entire Xiao clan even more tense.
The powerful man never put anyone in his eyes. It was Xiao Huaili's behavior that made Xiao Huaiyuan gradually lose confidence in him. He turned around and said to Xiao Yi.
"You and your father have some similarities, but they are different. It is not easy for a person to reach this point today. Do you remember that I once asked you, are you interested in the position of patriarch? ?”
"Remember, my answer now is still that I have no interest. Compared to that, I just like to live a free life."
Xiao Yi's answer will not change. He also knows his abilities very well and it will not be his turn.
"Sure enough, you still said that. The reason why I asked you is because the Xiao clan is about to elect a new clan leader. If nothing else happens, Xiao Huaili will quickly improve Xiao Qing's strength in just a few months. Promote and reach the standard of succeeding the clan leader."
"It is originally reasonable for a son to inherit his father's legacy. When my grandfather became the clan leader, didn't he also pass on the position of clan leader to my father?"
Xiao Huaiyuan thought so at first. Even if Xiao Qing was ineffective, the elders below could help him to become a human being.
However, mud cannot hold up a wall. This sentence is absolutely correct. For a person who is ineffective, no matter how much you try to help him, he will still be ineffective after all, and it will only add a few more worries out of thin air.
"That's true, but do you know? Xiao Qing is an ineffective person. Previously, he insisted on killing the remnants of the Black Dragon Clan and performed meritorious deeds. However, due to his own impulse, he fell into siege."
Xiao Huaiyuan never mentioned this to anyone else. He promised Xiao Huaili that he must keep the secret.
Now that I have told Xiao Yi, it is also because I trust Xiao Yi and believe that Xiao Yi will not tell anyone. Xiao Huaiyuan said immediately.
"As a descendant of the Xiao clan, if you do something wrong, you will have to bear the consequences. It's just that if you don't have the consciousness to live in pieces rather than live in ruins, Xiao Qing actually knelt down and begged for mercy from the remnants of the Black Dragon clan."
This kind of thing is indeed a shame. If it gets out, Xiao Qing will lose face and lose all qualifications as the heir.
But Xiao Yi thought that this had nothing to do with him. Kneeling down and begging for mercy is also human nature. After all, you can't force a person to have backbone. This is like moral kidnapping.
"It's normal for everyone to be timid. If it were me, I would choose to do the same if it came to the moment of life and death."
Xiao Yi replied that some people don't want to live, but no one is not afraid of death. Everyone has their own choice.
"Really? It seems that you are really not interested in these."
Xiao Huaiyuan wanted to try to persuade Xiao Yi, but it seemed that doing so was not very useful. For a person with Xiao Yi's personality, if he has determined something, don't think about changing it easily.
But since Xiao Yi came today, he has a way. If that's the case, then Xiao Huaiyuan decided to tell Xiao Yi one more thing.
"It seems that you have made up your mind. No matter what I say, you will not change it, right?"
"I think so. I am not interested in the position of clan leader. No matter who takes the position, I don't care."
"Then do you care about the real murderer who killed your father?"
Xiao Yi said that his mind would not change, but the next sentence of Xiao Huaiyuan suddenly pulled all his thoughts back.
