Chapter 4364: Escaped

As the patriarch, Xiao Huaili did not have the power to make decisions and could directly break into the ancestral hall.

The two people in front of him blocked Xiao Huaili's way. They had not received any news, and the Xiao clan had not had any sacrificial activities recently.

"We two are guarding here. If someone breaks in, we will be aware of it at the first time. We did not detect the intruder as the patriarch said."

The guard replied to Xiao Huaili that the two of them were guarding here. No one was allowed to enter the ancestral hall without special circumstances, including the patriarch.

Xiao Huaili certainly knew this rule. As the patriarch of the Xiao clan, he could exercise the rights of the patriarch, but the rights did not include the ancestral hall of the Xiao clan.

Without permission, he could not enter the ancestral hall, but the person he wanted to track down had escaped to the ancestral hall. He was very unwilling in his heart. How could he watch these two people slip away under his nose.

Xiao Huaili pondered for a moment. He was very dignified towards the two guards in front of him. At this moment, he said a word.

"I saw them flee to the ancestral hall with my own eyes. They sneaked into the Xiao clan and must have ulterior motives. In order to prevent them from leaking secrets, I must catch them personally."

He took a step forward and wanted to enter the ancestral hall through here, but two guards stood in front of Xiao Huaili with spears in hand and stopped him.

"Please stop here, clan leader!"

Their attitude was calm. Xiao Huaili was the clan leader of the Xiao clan, and they remembered this firmly in their hearts.

If it were not for other people, the two of them would have already taken action to drive people out of here, and if they did not obey, they would directly arrest them.

In the Xiao clan, you can attack others, but if you attack the guards of their ancestral hall, it is tantamount to betraying the Xiao clan. Even if it is Xiao Huaili, he will also be punished as he deserves.

Xiao Huaili guessed that he might be stopped. At this moment, his emotions were stable. The purpose was to catch people, not to oppose these two people.

"You two should have heard what I said just now. Two people with ulterior motives sneaked into the ancestral hall. As the patriarch of the Xiao clan, I can't just ignore this matter."

"We have already said that we didn't see anyone breaking into the ancestral hall. Besides, as the patriarch, you should be very clear about the clan rules of the Xiao clan. Without special orders, we can't let you in."

"This is related to the safety of the Xiao clan. I can't take care of many things. Please give me a favor. I will leave naturally after I catch the person."

"I'm afraid that this won't work. There are rules here. If the patriarch really suspects that someone broke into the ancestral hall, you can ask the elders now. If the elders give the order, we two will definitely not stop them."

This is the first time that Xiao Huaili has encountered this. Everyone in the Xiao clan must obey his orders, but the ancestral hall is an exception. There are several old antiques guarding it. No one is allowed to enter without their orders.

Not even the patriarch.

At this moment, he clenched his fists, and murderous intent rose in his heart. He wished he could take action at this moment to get rid of the two people and then enter the ancestral hall to catch people.

That's right. If Xiao Huaili went to ask for instructions from the old antiques, when he returned again, the people had already fled.

What's more, it was night now, and the instructions were not given until daytime. After a night's work, the two people had long been nowhere to be found. Where to catch them?

Seeing that the eavesdropper was about to be caught, catching this person was of great significance to Xiao Huaili. He could find out who was behind him and who was behind him, always keeping an eye on him.

But Xiao Huaili knew better what the consequences would be if he did so. Those old antiques would not let him go. After thinking about it, he had to give up.

"If that's the case, then I'll leave first, but you two remember that someone broke into the ancestral hall. If something happens later, you two will be responsible for what happened today!"

Xiao Huaili's words were threatening, and it was obvious that he wanted to tell the two people that you were the ones who were blocking him here, and I was just trying to catch people.

If something goes wrong later, don't blame Xiao Huaili for not reminding the two in advance. Although Xiao Huaili has no right to enter the ancestral hall, he has the right to deal with those clansmen who have made mistakes.

"No need for the clan leader to say more, we two know it in our hearts."

Even if Xiao Huaili said it all today, don't think about passing through here. There are two of them guarding here. Rules are rules and cannot be broken.

After snorting coldly, Xiao Huaili turned around and left here. The two guards in front of him were unmoved, so he had to leave first and find a way to search the two people again.

After leaving the ancestral hall, Ji Wuye was waiting in front. Ji Wuye saw Xiao Huaili's appearance and knew that he didn't catch the two this time and let the two run away.

He cursed a waste in his heart. Such a simple thing ended up like this. It was really embarrassing.

But Xiao Huaili is still useful now. He came to Xiao Huaili with danger on his face and said.

"It seems that these two people have escaped, right?"

"Almost! I almost caught them!"

Xiao Huaili said unwillingly, watching people escape right under his nose, this kind of thing is really painful.

"I guessed that this would be the result. These two people must not be kept. It seems that someone has been investigating your whereabouts behind your back. If you don't get rid of them, they will be a disaster in the future!"

"They are just two rats who dare not show their true faces to people. Is it necessary to do this?"

Ji Wuye is cautious in doing things. Even so, there is still a mistake in the problem of Xiao Yi, which makes Ji Wuye miscalculate.

He doesn't want the same thing to happen to him twice, so this time, no matter what, he must let Xiao Huaili find these two people.

"What do you think? Our plan can't have any more accidents. I think you should know better than me what to do."

"The two of them hid in the ancestral hall. With my ability, I can't enter the ancestral hall to catch them."

Xiao Huaili said. At this moment, Ji Wuye sighed. This is the difference between people. If Xiao Huaiyi did the same thing, there would not be so many mistakes. ,

It was Xiao Huaili who was replaced, but he had to find a way to remedy it. If he had known this earlier, he shouldn't have placed the bet on such a person.

"You can't enter the ancestral hall, but you can investigate the members of the Xiao clan. If someone is absent for no reason, it means that this matter must be related to them. Such a simple truth, you can't figure it out."
