Chapter 4366 Search

Xiao Huaixin knew his brother very well. He guessed that Xiao Huaili would never give up easily and tried to find out who had eavesdropped on his conversation with Ji Wuye tonight. ,

So even if the ancestral hall was safe, they could not stay here now. So at this time, Xiao Huaiyuan took him and hurriedly left the Xiao clan ancestral hall and returned to their respective residences.

The Xiao clan had already mobilized. Xiao Huaili sent a team to search all the members of the Xiao clan tonight. Of course, these members could not include the old antiques of the Xiao clan.

No matter what, Xiao Huaili would not place his suspicion on these people. They have been in seclusion for many years. No matter how important the matter is, they will not come out. For them, nothing is more important than seclusion and enlightenment.

Because they don't have much time left, even if they are practitioners, their lifespan will eventually come to an end. It's nothing more than relying on the means of cultivation to extend it for a period of time. When the time is up, they will still turn into dust like others.

Can they comprehend the supreme avenue and gain eternal life at the last moment? In this enlightenment, they don't ask about worldly affairs, nor do they care about what happens outside.

"Search carefully, don't miss any corner. This is the order of the clan leader. No matter who is responsible, if there is a deviation, punish according to the rules!"

"Yes!"

It was two o'clock in the morning, and people were resting.

I don't know what happened, but I heard that there was an assassin who broke into the clan leader's house.

The assassin had ill intentions and fled after being beaten by the clan leader. In order to prevent the assassin from leaking important information of the Xiao clan, he had to order a search and arrest.

No matter who it is, they can't avoid being searched, and they have no complaints. This can also prove their innocence. No one wants to be associated with the word assassin.

It was late at night!

Xiao Qian was sitting at the desk, flipping through an ancient book.

It was so late, Xiao Qian didn't feel sleepy at all. He thought a lot, alone, facing a lamp, and sighed.

He blamed himself for being old and confused and not stopping this incident in time. Now Xiao Huaili has become a disaster. He can't regain control of the situation and can only watch it all happen.

If I had known this, I shouldn't have let Xiao Huaili return to the Xiao clan. The two brothers were separated and arranged in different places, and this situation would not have happened. It's too late to regret now.

The sound of footsteps outside the yard reached Xiao Qian's ears. It was so late. Who would appear here and disturb his peace.

At this moment, outside Xiao Qian's residence, the people responsible for the search stopped. This place is different from the others. This is the residence of the old clan leader. How dare they have the courage to come in and search.

Besides, it's so late. If they break in rashly, they will disturb the old clan leader's rest. They can't afford the crime, so they are in trouble at this moment.

Among the many people of the Xiao clan, Xiao Huaili thought of several people in his mind. These people are the most likely, so he followed and came to Xiao Qian's residence.

I have long known that Xiao Qian is on guard against him and has secretly cultivated some people to be active in the outside world. Don't think he knows nothing. Xiao Huaili understands all this, but because of the relationship between father and son, he didn't say it.

Now standing outside Xiao Qian's residence, he has already seen that there is still a light on in his father's room. It's so late and he hasn't rested yet. I don't know what he is doing.

"What's wrong? Why did you stop?"

Xiao Huaili asked, and the captain in charge of the search responded at this moment.

"This is the residence of the old patriarch. No matter what, we all think that the old patriarch should not be an assassin..."

"Yes, you know the temper of the old patriarch. If we anger him, we can't afford the consequences."

Several people expressed their concerns. Besides, everyone can doubt, and the patriarch should not doubt the old patriarch. This matter must have nothing to do with the old patriarch.

However, Xiao Huaili would not think so. People have already come and walked to the door. How can there be any reason to go back.

"Useless thing!"

Xiao Huaili cursed, and when he stepped forward to knock on the door, the door was opened from the inside.

Xiao Qian had not fallen asleep in the middle of the night. He sensed that the breath was Xiao Huaili. He didn't know why Xiao Huaili appeared at this time. He wanted to ask clearly.

Wearing a thin single garment, Xiao Qian opened the door, looked at Xiao Huaili, and the people behind Xiao Huaili, and said in a light tone.

"Huai Li, you brought these people to me, what are you doing?"

When Xiao Huaili saw Xiao Qian, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. He had changed a little, but deep in his heart, he still retained a trace of humanity.

This trace of humanity did not turn Xiao Huaili into a devil completely, but for what happened tonight, he had to find out the truth, and said to Xiao Qian.

"It turned out that my father had not gone to bed yet. Huai Li really couldn't bear to disturb him, because an assassin broke into my residence, and I had to treat it with caution."

"Assassin? Where? You should not be injured."

"Thank you for your concern, father, Huai Li is safe and sound."

Xiao Qian asked hurriedly. The most difficult thing to give up is the word family affection, and this is also true for the two of them.

When Xiao Qian heard about the assassin, he became nervous, but he thought that his worry was unnecessary. With Xiao Huaili's current strength, who could hurt him?

"The assassin was injured by me and chose to escape in a hurry. I was careless and let him run away, so I chased him everywhere and disturbed my father's peace."

Xiao Huaili explained. Seeing the formation of these people in front of him, Xiao Qian understood that they were suspecting that the assassin had come to him.

"So that's the case, but I don't have any assassins here. If there are any, I will catch the assassins as soon as possible and hand them over to you."

After saying that, Xiao Qian turned around and was about to leave, and ordered the servants to close the door. There was nothing to talk about between him and Xiao Huaili now.

But at this moment, Xiao Huaili grabbed the door, and it was obvious that he hadn't finished speaking. Looking at Xiao Qian's puzzled eyes, Xiao Huaili said.

"Father, please forgive me. My people must search this place to confirm that the assassin is not hiding here."

"Hehe... You mean, I hid the assassin, right?"

"Huai Li dare not have such an idea, but as the patriarch, if someone with ulterior motives breaks into the Xiao clan, I will definitely get rid of him."
