Chapter 3784 The Reason Behind This

"Somebody come!"

Xiao Huaiyuan shouted toward the door. The subordinates waiting outside heard the sound and pushed open the door.

"What's the elder's order?"

After thinking for a long time, Xiao Huaiyuan made a decision. He placed the magic weapon Xiao Qing gave him in a box.

The key to this kind of box can only be owned by people at the elder level. There is also a handwritten letter written by him placed in the box.

"Set off immediately to deliver this box to the clan leader and say that it was sent by me."

Xiao Huaiyuan personally told him that he likes high-grade magic weapons, but if they are not his own, he will not feel at ease if he gets them.

So he left the matter to Xiao Huaili to decide, and at the same time, he came to see what choice the Xiao clan leader would make for the future of the Xiao clan.

"yes!"

The subordinates took the things and set off immediately. Within a few hours, they were able to rush back to the Xiao clan and bring the things to Xiao Huaili.

After the Xiao clan encountered trouble here, the news quickly reached Xiao Huaixin's ears. He knew that although the battle was evenly matched, the Black Dragon clan had already won.

In order to lure them into the trap, some people with low strength were used. Moreover, in the previous battle, the Xiao clan could be said to have the upper hand and was as powerful as a broken bamboo.

In this way, the confidence of the clan members will also increase greatly, but after experiencing such a defeat, it will be a blow to everyone's heart.

"Under the leadership of Xiao Huaiyuan, something like this still happens. Is he an old fool? He can be easily fooled by such a simple trick."

"Yes, this time Thirty-six Tiangang and Seventy-two Disha lost a total of six people. There have never been such casualties before."

Listening to people around me criticizing Xiao Huaiyuan's aggressive advance, they all believed that this failure was related to Xiao Huaiyuan.

But Xiao Huaixin already understood that it was not that Xiao Huaixin was incompetent in his leadership, but that mixed with it was Xiao Qing, who was impatient and wanted to establish military exploits.

"Why don't you express your opinion on this matter?"

Xiao Huaixin was their immediate superior. At this moment, Xiao Huaixin was sitting on a chair and taking a nap. The people's comments seemed to have nothing to do with him.

After hearing this, he stretched himself out and looked at the crowd.

"You said all the things you shouldn't have said, and you didn't say a single thing you should say, so I didn't bother to express my opinion."

"What should I say and what shouldn't be said? What does this mean?"

Everyone was puzzled, couldn't it be said that the failure of this operation was not Xiao Huaiyuan's responsibility?

Word spread to the outside world that it was Xiao Huaiyuan's lack of support that put the Xiao people in crisis. If he could have taken countermeasures earlier, such casualties would not have occurred.

"Since you have received the news, you should know who Xiao Huaiyuan rescued from the Black Dragon Clan this time."

"Isn't it that Xiao Qing?"

"Then you should have heard that Xiao Qing insisted on going his own way and did not act together with Xiao Huaiyuan. He wanted to make meritorious deeds on the battlefield and chose to fight alone."

Under Xiao Huaixin's reminder, everyone gradually seemed to understand something. This time Xiao Huaiyuan got Xiao Qing out of the enemy's hands.

That is to say, Xiao Qing is in crisis. Although Xiao Huaiyuan's help did not arrive in time, the young master of the Xiao clan is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

It has long been heard that Xiao Qing is very arrogant in his behavior in the clan. Because Xiao Huaili is the clan leader, he does not take anyone seriously.

Due to his low strength before, after this retreat, Xiao Qing's strength skyrocketed, further fueling the arrogance of people like him.

"Could it be Xiao Qing? Did he make a mistake himself?"

"You can even use your heels to imagine what's going on."

Xiao Huaixin knew his nephew very well. His behavior was so different that it was not worth mentioning compared with Xiao Yi.

He loves great achievements when doing things, and the same is true in practice. He never wants to play it steadily, and just wants to reach the sky in one step, relying on the efficacy of the elixir to make his own strength superior to others.

Cultivation is like building a house. The most basic thing is to lay the foundation. If the foundation is not even stable, all subsequent efforts will be in vain.

"The Black Dragon Clan's abnormal behavior before was obviously setting up a trap. How can this old guy Xiao Huaiyuan not understand such a simple truth?"

A guy who lives to old age and is extremely smart has already understood what the opponent is trying to do, so in the next actions, whenever he encounters the opponent retreating, Xiao Huaiyuan orders to stop tracking.

But something unexpected happened this time. Apart from this Xiao Qing, he couldn't think of any other possibility.

"Xiao Qing must have ventured in alone and fell into the opponent's trap. Xiao Huaiyuan arranged for people to follow and protect him, but in the end he died at the hands of the Black Dragon Clan and paid a heavy price for this."

"If you think so, it makes some sense, but why is there no news? Xiao Huaiyuan did not punish Xiao Qing."

Having made such a mistake, according to Xiao Huaiyuan's character, it doesn't matter if Xiao Qing has a patriarch who is his father, he will still act according to the rules.

But they did not get such news. What came out from the outside world was that Xiao Huaiyuan's improper command caused this mistake, and he would take responsibility for it.

"Hey... Xiao Huaiyuan seems to be sacrificing his own reputation for the honor of the Xiao clan."

Xiao Huaixin sighed and said that this mistake was caused by Xiao Qing, but Xiao Huaiyuan did not speak out and put all the responsibility on himself.

He obviously meant to take the blame for others. He knew very well that Xiao Qing was the one who would succeed the clan. If this matter was made public, it would have a huge impact on Xiao Qing.

Doing this was to give Xiao Huaili a face. The reputation of an elder seemed insignificant in comparison.

"If the facts are really like this, then this Xiao Qing is just like a waste. It is really a shame to let such a person be the patriarch of the Xiao clan."

"It's a pity that we are powerless to change the situation. Xiao Huaili has a one-handed control over the Xiao clan. Who can change what he has decided?"

"Yes, even his position as the patriarch was snatched away. What else can he not dare to do?"

Hearing what his subordinate said, Xiao Huaixin slapped him with a slap. He really meant this slap.

The subordinate felt dizzy and flew out, spitting out blood.

"It's not your turn to discuss this matter. Do you want to die? If I hear you say this again next time, don't blame me for being rude!"
