Chapter 3812 Xiao Huaiyuan's Proposal

Xiao Huaiyuan was thinking, does he look like a villain? Why does Xiao Yi think so.

No matter how bad his character was, he would not do such a thing, and it was not for this purpose that he came to see Xiao Yi today.

"You can rest assured about this. This is not the purpose of my coming here to find you today. I have said it before. This trip is just to talk to you and has no other purpose."

"Then I'm very curious. People of the Xiao clan think that they have a noble status. A person like me who lives in the outside world can actually attract your attention and even come to visit me."

"It seems that you have misunderstood the Xiao clan. Not all people are like you said. Regardless of their identity, everyone is the same. There is no difference between sitting here."

Xiao Yi sat opposite Xiao Huaiyuan. Xiao Huaiyuan's face looked very serious, just like a teacher in school. There was a trace of majesty that could not be violated in his old-fashioned face.

The aura he exudes proves that he has absolute strength. In front of this person, Xiao Yi is no match for him. When encountering such a person, it is best to find an opportunity to slip away.

Fortunately, there was no hostility from Xiao Huaiyuan. Xiao Yi poured him a cup of tea himself. Since there were guests coming to the door, he should follow the etiquette of hospitality.

When he saw Xiao Huaiyuan, he actually had a question in his mind and was thinking of finding someone to answer it. Maybe Xiao Huaiyuan would know some inside information.

"I really didn't expect that as a descendant of Xiao Huaiyi's disaster, you would still be lucky enough to survive."

Xiao Huaiyuan was not involved in the incident that year. Most of the planners of that incident were Xiao Huaili's cronies. Xiao Huaili would not believe someone like Xiao Huaiyuan.

The matter was related to his position as clan leader in the future and there could not be any mistakes, so by the time Xiao Huaiyuan learned the news, it was already too late and everything was a foregone conclusion.

"It was my grandfather who used his child to replace me from the scene of the accident. Without him, I'm afraid I would have become a lonely ghost."

"Your grandfather?"

Isn’t Xiao Yi’s grandfather Xiao Gan? Xiao Huaiyuan thought about it and immediately understood that the person Xiao Yi was talking about was Xiao Shan.

Xiao Shan is the most loyal person around Xiao Huaiyi. When he went out to do things, he would always take him with him.

Because Xiao Shan's surname was not Xiao, it was the name that Xiao Huaiyi later changed to him. He was not a member of the Xiao clan, so he was naturally not qualified to practice the Xiao clan's techniques.

Xiao Huaiyuan did not expect that in a critical moment, Xiao Shan would be willing to use his own child to replace Xiao Yi, which shows how deep the master-servant bond between the two is.

Perhaps it was precisely because Xiao Shan was just an ordinary outsider that Xiao Shan disappeared from the Xiao clan after what happened that year. Xiao Huaili did not pay attention to him, so Xiao Shan and Xiao Yi survived.

"The person you are talking about is Xiao Shan, right? He is just a servant in the Xiao clan. It seems a little inappropriate to call him grandpa."

"I don't need to follow any broken rules when doing things. In my heart, he is my grandfather."

Xiao Yi has lived outside the Xiao clan since he was a child. As for the glory of the Xiao clan and his prominent status, these have nothing to do with Xiao Yi.

From these words, Xiao Huaiyuan could tell that Xiao Yi's resentment towards the Xiao clan was not something that could be alleviated by just a few words from a few people.

"It seems that you have a deep hatred for the Xiao clan. To be honest, I came to you today because there is something I need to talk to you about."

The purpose of Xiao Huaiyuan's appearance here was really confusing to Xiao Yi. With his next words, he finally gradually understood.

It turns out that in the Xiao clan, the position of clan leader is recommended by everyone, and the biggest hurdle is the five elders of the Xiao clan.

Once you are qualified, you will pass the challenges set by the clan, and after layer-by-layer selection, only the candidate with the best evaluation will be able to stand in front of the five elders.

Only three of the five elders need to approve, and this person will be the next clan leader. This method of recommendation is to make the election of the clan leader transparent and fair.

Among these candidates, there is one person who is the most special. This person is from the clan leader's lineage and recommends the juniors below.

The Xiao clan will be divided into several lines according to the family situation. For example, Xiao Qian is one line, followed by Xiao Huaili and his brothers, followed by Xiao Qing, Xiao Cang and Xiao Yi.

The position of clan leader cannot be passed down to at most five people within a lineage. The previous clan leader was Xiao Qian's father, then Xiao Qian, and later Xiao Huaiyi.

Although Xiao Huaiyi encountered an accident, Xiao Huaiyi's name had already been written on the position of clan leader before that. Even if he failed to sit in this position, it would still count.

This means that Xiao Qian's lineage only has one chance to allow his descendants to take the position of clan leader, and the one selected by Xiao Huaili will directly skip the previous procedures and let the five clan leaders make the selection.

"Although this system is to ensure fairness, the word fairness has not appeared since ancient times. The next clan leader, Xiao Huaili, has already laid the groundwork for his son."

Xiao Huaiyuan said that choosing an incompetent person to be the leader of the Xiao clan was really an outcome he did not want to see. Instead of doing this, it would be better to hold an open election.

It's a pity that even he, an elder, can't do anything about the election. Several other people have already agreed to Xiao Huaili, so he can only go with the flow.

"I understand. You mean to say that Xiao Huaili has a one-handed hand in the election of the Xiao clan leader, and no one else has a chance, right?"

"Yes."

"But what do you say have to do with me? I have no interest in who will be the leader of the Xiao clan."

Xiao Yi's words almost made Xiao Huaiyuan drop the teacup in his hand. He had thought a lot before coming here. What kind of answer would Xiao Yi have if he said such a thing.

But he never expected that Xiao Yi's attitude would be so careless, as if the Xiao clan had nothing to do with him, which made him wonder how to continue the topic.

"Ahem... Xiao Yi is the leader of the Xiao clan. How many young people in the Xiao clan want to sit in this position."

For this position, some people even do not hesitate to attack their own brothers and sisters. Power and status, no one can resist the temptation of these two things.

Such a position, many people are crazy about it, but Xiao Yi can't even get the slightest interest.

"What does the Xiao clan leader have to do with me? Doesn't Xiao Huaili want his son to sit in this position? Then just nod and agree."
