Chapter 698
Ning Meng Yao raised her brows and looked at the man who was acting earnest: “Are you sure you’re not gloating at his misfortune?”
”Am I?” Qiao Tian Chang raised his brows and looked at Ning Meng Yao .
”What do you think?” Ning Meng Yao did not speak and just looked at Qiao Tian Chang . He was clearly gloating .
Qiao Tian Chang chuckled: “Xiao Si coming back is just the beginning,” Qiao Tian Chang said without explaining himself .
Ning Meng Yao froze, she looked at Qiao Tian Chang: “You mean to say……”
”En, before we appeared, Xiao Si felt those things belong to their family, even if Xiao Ren doesn’t give them to him right now, a patriarch would be elected once Xiao Ren passes away . As Xiao Ren’s son, the chances of him becoming patriarch is high, so he was sure to know all the secrets when the time comes,” That was roughly what was on Xiao Si’s mind, but Xiao Si never expected for them to appear .
Furthermore, he never thought that Xiao Ren wouldn’t tell him about it .
”So, we’re about to get unlucky?” Ning Meng Yao blinked her eyes and asked solemnly .
Qiao Tian Chang silently looked at Ning Meng Yao, he wanted to say, ‘Can you not be looking forward to such a thing?’ .
Regardless of how Ning Meng Yao was looking forward to it, Qiao Tian Chang was still on guard .
”No matter what, we still need to be on our guard . ”
”En . ”
After Xiao Si returned to the tribe, he would go out every day and head to many houses in the tribe . Even if he had an ugly expression after walking out of their houses, he would have a face full of smiles when he entered a new one .
Not only so, he even told them the many benefits they could attain .
After knowing the news, Ning Meng Yao smiled casually and did not put any mind to it, it wasn’t because she didn’t know how to win people’s hearts, she just felt disdain doing so .
She believed that it was an opportunity to clearly see how many people among the tribe who would listen to Xiao Ren and continue guarding their ancestor’s promise together .
This would also be a chance to see how many people would think of nothing else but personal gain, willing to betray anyone for money .
Compared to Ning Meng Yao’s calmness, Xiao Ren had an ugly expression, he obviously knew Xiao Si’s intention .

”Xiao Si, what are you up to?” Xiao Ren looked gloomily at his son as he questioned angrily .
Each of them did not spare him from worry and only knew how to cause trouble after returning .
Xiao Si glanced at his father: “Father, I’ve not been back for such a long time, is there a problem with me giving some gifts to our tribe?”
”You……”
It was indeed not a problem, but Xiao Ren knew it was just Xiao Si’s excuse .
Shaking his head in disappointment, Xiao Ren turned around and had his back facing Xiao Si: “No need for the futile effort, even if you used such tricks, you will not be able to get those things . ”
Xiao Si’s expression changed, he looked at Xiao Ren: “What do you mean?”
”It’s because those things already have an owner,” Regardless whether it was manpower or wealth, it all belonged to Ning Meng Yao, the fact would not change no matter what Xiao Si did .
Xiao Si’s expression became frighteningly gloomy after hearing Xiao Ren’s words: “Father, what nonsense are you saying? Why should we give our things to others?”

”Our things? Heh heh, even if you have the guts to take, you must have the life to spend it,” The people from Xiao Family only knew they were guarding a large sum of wealth, but they didn’t know they were just guardians . If these items didn’t land in the hands of the Xiao Empire’s Imperial Family, those who used special means to obtain them would only be severely punished .
Of course, it would be a different story if the Xiao Empire was destroyed .
Xiao Si always thought his father was just a little stubborn, but he was now sure his father had turned completely unreasonable . Such good things were actually left for others and not for themselves, he was simply foolish beyond recognition .
”Father, you’re simply a fool . ”
Xiao Ren glanced at his son and sneered . There would be arbitration in the future for the actual fool .
Even when Xiao Ren had already said such words, Xiao Si still did not give up, when he visited the tribe members, he even began badmouthing Ning Meng Yao, be it intentionally or unintentionally .
