Chapter 4080: Eyes of Surveillance
The way out for the Xiao clan may lie in the hands of this young man. He made the wrong choice more than 20 years ago, and now he just wants to redeem the mistakes he made back then.
As for this matter, he will not mention it to others. It is related to a major secret, and regardless of the truth or falsehood of the matter, if it spreads, it will inevitably cause an uproar within the Xiao clan.
The consequences of doing so are something he cannot afford.
"Okay, you can leave."
Xiao Huaiyuan said that he had already got the answer, and there was no need for Xiao Yi to stay here.
At this moment, a subordinate came in from outside. His eyes directly avoided Xiao Yi. No matter what happened here, it had nothing to do with him.
The decision was made by the elders of the clan. He was just an errand boy. He didn't say what he shouldn't say, and he didn't look at things he shouldn't see.
"Elder...the three people are back."
One of the Thirty-Six Tiangangs walked directly to Xiao Huaiyuan and reported the situation.
"Really? The three of them came quite quickly. As expected of Xiao Huaili, they were sent to monitor my eyes."
Xiao Huaiyuan knew where he was, and he had to be cautious in every move he made, not to expose any flaws or leave opportunities for others.
The last time he wrote to Xiao Huaili about Xiao Qing's mistakes, the purpose was so that Xiao Huaili could withdraw Xiao Qing. He didn't want to be accused of insufficient protection.
Xiao Huaili understood what he meant, and acted according to his intention. He did not let Xiao Qing continue to follow him, but at the same time, Xiao Huaili sent three of his confidants.
He said that he wanted these three people to help him, but the real intention was to monitor his actions. They just didn't say it clearly. They all knew what the other wanted to do.
Among the many elders, he can be said to be an anomaly. Xiao Huaiyuan only recognizes right and wrong in his eyes, and therefore has had a lot of friction with others in private.
"It seems that Xiao Yi can't go back the way he came. Take him to the secret passage."
"yes!"
Although Xiao Yi didn't know the fight involved, he could see that Xiao Huaiyuan was not an easy man. He laughed and left with his entourage.
The reason why we chose this place to meet was Xiao Huaiyuan's arrangement. In addition to the privacy of the conversation here, there is also a secret passage set up here that allows Xiao Yi to leave safely.
Turning the armrest of a chair, the bookshelf on one side slowly opened. Behind the bookshelf was the exit. After Xiao Yi and the others left, Xiao Huaiyuan closed it again.
When he said that Cao Cao was about to arrive, Xiao Huaiyuan was still thinking that when he met Xiao Yi in private, how could those informants placed around him be so assured that they would definitely come to monitor his actions.
In order to avoid these people, a task was specially arranged for them. Unexpectedly, they would come back so soon. Xiao Huaiyuan tidied his clothes.
"Elder, we are back."
The three of them walked into the hall and glanced around, looking for places that made them feel strange.
The task assigned to them by the patriarch is to monitor Xiao Huaiyuan. If they do not do this well, they will definitely be punished by the patriarch. They are Xiao Huaili's carefully trained confidants, which is equivalent to dogs around Xiao Huaili.
"Have you completed all the tasks I assigned you?"
"It's completed. If it's not completed, we won't come back to see the elders."
One person was holding a bamboo basket in his hand, and the bamboo basket contained some medicinal herbs. Each medicinal plant was worth at least several hundred thousand.
Such a precious thing grows in an inaccessible place, that is, only they have the strength to get it, but the value of this thing is not much to them.
Xiao Huaiyuan gave them the task of finding medicinal herbs. The purpose was to slow down these people. If he stayed by his side, he would not be able to accomplish anything.
The three-day task was completed in less than one day, which was very fast. Xiao Huaiyuan checked the bamboo basket and smiled.
"The quality of this herb is quite good. It seems that the three of you are searching carefully."
"Of course we must complete the tasks assigned by the elders with all our heart."
One person replied, of course they also knew that Xiao Huaiyuan did this just to drive away the three of them.
Talking about finding medicinal herbs to refine healing medicine, these are all lies. If you don't even understand this, you will have been following Xiao Huaili for so long in vain.
So they hurried back and found what Xiao Huaiyuan wanted as quickly as possible, and then rushed back without stopping for a moment, for fear of missing an important moment.
They have checked here and there is nothing abnormal. Even if there is anything, Xiao Huaiyuan will not let the three of them see it.
"We have completed the mission. I wonder if the elder has anything else to tell you."
One person said this deliberately. Xiao Huaiyuan asked them to look for medicinal herbs, which was just an excuse.
If we continue to assign these people tasks, they will definitely not obey the orders. Everyone is just giving each other face.
"Okay, your mission has been completed. The activities of the remnants of the Black Dragon Clan have been very low-key recently. Let's take the opportunity to repair it. You three go down and rest."
"yes!"
Xiao Huaiyuan did not make any other arrangements for the three of them. The most important thing at the moment was to recuperate and recuperate.
The three of them did not find anything unusual, so they retreated first. At this moment, Xiao Yi had already left this place along the underground secret passage built by the villa.
This time, meeting Xiao Huaiyuan changed Xiao Yi's inner understanding. He did not expect Xiao Huaili to be so despicable and shameless.
In order to deal with his father, he could even think of such a method. He must track down the four mysterious masters who attacked and killed his father that year, and use their blood to commemorate his father's soul.
At this moment, in the Xiao clan, the battle outside is still going on. This battle related to the grievances between the two clans seems to have no end. As long as there are descendants living, the battle will not stop.
Xiao Huaili left his residence and came to an isolated island in the clan alone. There are many suspended rocks floating in the air on the isolated island.
Some are only the size of a fist, and some are larger than several houses. Grass and trees grow on these rocks, just like another world.
With one foot on the ground, Xiao Huaiyuan's whole body floated up into the air, drifted upwards, touched a few rocks, and landed on the top, which was also the largest rock.
There would be no interference from outsiders here. Today was the agreed time. Xiao Huaili was going to meet someone. When he landed on the rock, he saw a figure standing with his back to him.
