Chapter 3819 Must Do
No matter when, strength is the best proof. Without strength, everything is nonsense.
In his heart, Xiao Qing didn't want to go. He had heard that entering the training would make the whole person lose a layer of skin. Some young people in the clan had experienced it.
But this time it was his father's order, and coupled with the mistakes he made before, he had to obey Xiao Huaili's arrangement. Fortunately, this time Xiao Huaili gave him a lot of elixirs to restore his vitality.
"Huai Li, what are you worried about? I always see you frowning. Is there something on your mind?"
When his wife came back from outside and saw Xiao Huaili's appearance, there were few troubles that could make him have such an expression.
More than 20 years ago, Xiao Huaili got rid of his second brother and successfully took the position of the clan leader. From that day on, Xiao Huaili was alone for more than a month, standing at the window and not speaking.
Even when he went to bed at night, he didn't say a word alone, as if he was crazy. His wife didn't dare to ask more questions, so she could only wait for Xiao Huaili to come out of it by himself.
Looking at the scenery outside, sitting in this position for too long, Xiao Huaili found that it was not that simple to hide some things.
That accident eventually became a nightmare in his heart, haunting him all the time, making him unable to calm down.
Even now, he can remember the scene at that time when he closes his eyes. At this moment, Xiao Huaili has a premonition that sooner or later, he will pay the price for the tragedy of that year.
"That Xiao Yi was not disabled. He just used a method that day to make himself leave the Xiao clan smoothly."
"What? There is such a thing. Didn't you personally test it that day and confirm that he has become an ordinary person?"
"Yes! I really didn't expect that even I could be deceived. What else did he hide?"
Xiao Huaili clenched his fists. If he had known this earlier, he should have made up his mind and killed Xiao Yi directly in the Xiao clan, and there would be no trouble now.
Anyway, he did this kind of thing once, and he didn't care about doing it again. It didn't matter what the outside world said about Xiao Huaili.
"It's just Xiao Yi, the remnant of your second brother. You don't need to waste your energy so much."
"I comforted myself in this way, but things don't seem to be as simple as I thought."
Xiao Huaili told his wife what Xiao Qing said before, although Xiao Huaili was the boss of the Xiao clan.
However, many of these things were participated in by his wife, and she gave Xiao Huaili advice and acted as Xiao Huaili's virtuous wife.
"You know something about the past, but there are some things you don't know. Those who know this secret have sworn that they will never tell it."
"What is it? If you can't tell me, just pretend that I didn't ask."
"You are my wife, Qing'er's mother, it's okay to tell you something."
Xiao Huaili's wife just stayed at home to take care of the housework, and she would not ask what her husband did outside.
Later, she learned the news that her husband united several elders in the clan, set up an ambush, and killed Xiao Huaili's family, who was originally going to succeed the clan leader, and used such iron-blooded means to become the clan leader of the Xiao clan.
After Xiao Huaiyi's death, the other elders had no choice but to let Xiao Huaili be the clan leader to cover up the scandal. Only in this way could they guarantee their interests.
When Xiao Huaili told his wife some of the details, his wife was surprised and opened her mouth.
"It turned out to be like this!"
"Yes, rather than saying that I became the clan leader myself, it is better to say that I have been forced into a situation with no way out and was pushed to this position by them."
"Huai Li, if you do this, once other people in the Xiao clan know about it, you will be doomed."
The wife was worried. She really didn't expect that the truth was like this. Sure enough, sometimes what you see with your eyes and hear with your ears may not be the truth of a thing.
If Xiao Huaili didn't tell her, she would never guess that such a thing would happen behind this, Xiao Huaili sighed.
"At that time, I had no choice. Only in this way could I reverse my fate. So I kept practicing all these years. When I broke through the ninth level of the Nine Heavens Thunder Control Art, he could do nothing to me."
His eyes became gloomy. Xiao Huaili was the patriarch of the Xiao clan, but he had to be led by others. This feeling was really uncomfortable.
He had no choice but to do so. Before there was an absolute gap in strength, all this was in vain. Thinking of this, Xiao Huaili's face darkened.
"I was originally walking on a road with no turning back. I could only move forward step by step and walk over the corpses of others to make myself invincible."
"Only in this way can I cover up the ugliness before. What others see is always my most perfect side. I don't want to be famous in history, nor do I want to leave a bad name for eternity."
This is Xiao Huaili's character. He did bad things and he also did some good things. In the end, what he wanted to leave behind was a positive evaluation.
Associating this time with Xiao Yi's incident, Xiao Huaili had some doubts and worries in his heart. He opened his mouth and continued.
"There are people around Xiao Yi who are protecting him. At a time like this, the person I can think of is probably my father."
"You are doubting your father and sending people to secretly protect Xiao Yi. If Xiao Yi returns to the Xiao clan, it means that your father is on Xiao Yi's side."
"Not only that."
Xiao Huaili thought of something further than this. He had heard about some of the things Xiao Yi did in China.
He started a business at a young age and had such power and financial resources in just one year. You can imagine how capable Xiao Yi is.
"Although Qing'er is my son, compared with Xiao Yi, I, as a father, have to admit that his ability is far behind Xiao Yi and his cultivation is not as good as Xiao Yi."
The wife couldn't refute this point. It was all because Xiao Qing was the young master of the Xiao clan. He played around and never took cultivation to heart.
Most of the things at home were done by the elders of the Xiao clan. Occasionally, they were handed over to Xiao Qing, but Xiao Qing usually messed up and had to let others finish them.
"If father brings Xiao Yi back to the Xiao clan and lets Xiao Yi run for the next clan leader, do you think Qing'er will still have a chance?"
"This... this seems impossible. After all, your father is not old and confused. If he brings Xiao Yi back to the Xiao clan, where will you put your face?"
"Hehe, do you think that after all these years as the team leader, father is satisfied with what I have done?"
