Chapter 3786: Taking the Blame for Others

Because of Xiao Qing's mistake, the previous failure led to the death of six people of the Xiao clan who went out to fight.

And some people were injured in this battle. All this was because Xiao Qing was eager to achieve success, but when reporting, Xiao Huaiyuan did not explain this.

According to the outside world, the Black Dragon Clan won a great victory in the action against the Xiao clan this time. Not only did they kill their clansmen, but they also humiliated the Xiao clan.

The word humiliation was used very implicitly, and the other party did not explain why the humiliation was caused.

In the end, Xiao Huaiyuan took the responsibility on himself and said that he was incompetent in command, but all this had nothing to do with him.

If Xiao Huaiyuan had been a step later, Xiao Qing would have been taken away and fell into the hands of the Black Dragon Clan. It is conceivable what the outcome would be.

Either use him as a bargaining chip to threaten the Xiao clan, or hold a public execution, so that you can slap the face of the Xiao clan and boost your own prestige at the same time.

"Elder, why do you have to take responsibility yourself? This is not your fault. We all saw it."

"Yes, you are asking for trouble by doing this. The clan leader is already on guard against us. If he knows about this, he will definitely make a fuss about it."

"Is that Xiao Qing threatening the elder? He is too despicable to do such a thing."

Xiao Huaiyuan heard what everyone said, but did not respond immediately because he was thinking about a question.

It's time to meet that Xiao Yi. Is it Xiao Yi or Xiao Qing? Who should be in charge of the future Xiao clan in order to make the Xiao clan thrive and stand at the top of this world.

Obviously, he saw only disappointment from Xiao Qing. No matter how hard Xiao Qing tries in the future, the previous kneeling has already made Xiao Huaiyuan lose confidence.

"Okay, don't talk about this anymore. This has nothing to do with anyone. I decided it myself."

Xiao Huaiyuan coughed and interrupted everyone's discussion. They were all thinking about themselves, and they knew it very well.

All they saw was the gains and losses in front of them, and they didn't look far ahead. Xiao Huaiyuan continued.

"I want you to forget everything that happened before. It's not that Xiao Qing was stubborn, but I made a mistake in command. Xiao Qing has been fighting bravely on the battlefield."

"This..."

"There are not so many reasons. You don't understand now, but you will understand in the future. For the future of the Xiao clan, it's okay to sacrifice the reputation of an old man like me."

Xiao Huaiyuan is such an upright person that even he himself finds it ridiculous. This time he actually wants to take the blame for others.

What makes him even more ridiculous is Xiao Qing's attitude. Since he released the news and put the blame on himself, Xiao Qing's attitude has reversed 180 degrees.

It's as if he has really become a hero of the Xiao clan. All the credit for this battle is on him. He alone turned the tide and stopped the Black Dragon Clan.

Give a little color, and you don't know who you are.

Little did he know that all this was a sacrifice made by Xiao Huaiyuan, and he used his reputation to save Xiao Qing.

Xiao Qing would not care about these. Anyway, someone took the blame for him, so this matter had nothing to do with him. He still did things the same way as before.

At this moment, Xiao Qing was resting in the room. He thought that this time Xiao Huaiyuan agreed to his request and recorded his military exploits.

When he returned to the clan, he would definitely become a young hero in the eyes of everyone, so that the elders would have to stand on his side.

At this moment, someone came outside, knocked on Xiao Qing's door, and stood outside the door and said.

"Young Master, the clan leader has something for me to bring to you."

"Father?"

Xiao Qing jumped up from the bed. What kind of news would his father bring at this time? He went forward to open the door with doubts.

After opening the door, the person who came to convey the news was his father's personal guard. If such a person went out, it was usually very important news.

"What did my father tell you to tell me?"

"The clan leader told you to leave immediately and return to the clan."

"Now? How is that possible? I am fighting bravely and killing the enemy. Even if I am allowed to go back, I have to wait until this battle is over."

Xiao Qing was still thinking about negotiating terms, not realizing that he was already in trouble. The guard who delivered the message said immediately.

"Young Master, please don't embarrass me. The clan leader told you to leave immediately and urge you to go back. If you don't leave, I can't report to you."

This made Xiao Qing's heart hang in the air. What important things must wait until he returns? He vaguely sensed something wrong.

After he calmed down, he thought about it carefully. There should be no mistakes. Xiao Huaiyuan also agreed to his conditions.

At that time, in addition to himself and Xiao Huaiyuan, the people of the Black Dragon Clan saw the scene.

The people of the Black Dragon Clan should not go to his father to leak the news. After thinking of this, Xiao Qing asked a question.

"Is there any news? Why did my father ask me to go back this time?"

"I heard that the young master made great contributions in killing the enemy on the front line, and the clan leader wanted to hold a celebration banquet for the young master."

"Celebration banquet?"

The battle is not over yet, the celebration banquet is a bit early, but after knowing that it was arranged by his father, Xiao Qing did not think much about it.

After a simple preparation, he followed the guards back to the clan land. Within three hours, he appeared in the space formation of the Xiao clan.

In fact, even if Xiao Huaili did not give the order, Xiao Qing also planned to come back. The outside world was too scary. If he met the previous master again, without Xiao Huaiyuan, who could protect him?

Soon he arrived at Xiao Huaili's residence and saw that there was no sign of a celebration banquet here. Could it be that there was something hidden in it?

"Father... I'm back."

Xiao Qing pushed open the door. In front of the main hall, Xiao Huaili sat on it with a gloomy look and a serious face.

He had already sensed Xiao Qing's breath and knew that Xiao Qing was back. Thinking of the content of Xiao Huaiyuan's letter, Xiao Huaili was burning with anger in his heart.

"Qing'er is back. Mother heard that you performed well on the front line and killed the enemy and made military achievements. You are worthy of being my good son."

Xiao Huaili's wife praised Xiao Qing, but she didn't know the situation.

"Mother, you are too kind. They are just some remnants of the Black Dragon Clan. It's no big deal."

"My Qing'er has grown up and become a hero of the clan. Huaili, why don't you say anything? Qing'er is doing so well. You should praise him."

Xiao Qing looked at his father's face and the smile on his face faded, as if something was about to happen.
