317 The Xiao Clan, Ye Xuan’s Doubts
Xiao Mingyan was arrogant and often looked down on people. Even if he had good friends, ever since his accident, yet alone visited him, there were only a few who even asked about him. Everyone didn’t want to get involved with him, because they knew that it was not something they could afford to get involved in.

The Xiao clan had spread the news that he had gone berserk while cultivating. However, on top of the clan leaders, all the well-informed members of the other clans knew the real reason.

Although they didn’t understand why the Xiao clan would suddenly give up on Xiao Mingyan and support Xiao Wuyou instead, they knew better than to pry into the matters of the clan. Most people were just watching from the sidelines. Those who wanted to get involved had to first consider their own strength.

Not long after, a man dressed like a servant boy invited Ye Xuan and A’tian into the manor. He said, “My young master would like to see you.”

Originally, Ye Xuan thought that he was going to meet Xiao Mingyan, but he didn’t expect to see another unfamiliar young man.

“I heard you want to see my brother? Who are you people?” Xiao Wuyou asked.

Ye Xuan sized up Xiao Wuyou. Although they were brothers, they didn’t look alike at all. He replied, “I met Young Master Xiao by chance. I heard that he is sick, so I came to visit him.”

At the same time, Xiao Wuyou was also observing Ye Xuan. He had originally thought that Xiao Mingyan would know some important figures, but now, it seemed that not only was this friend of his dressed in plain clothes, but his cultivation was also very ordinary. There were no outstanding aspects to him.

Xiao Wuyou hid the contempt in his eyes very well, and he revealed a look of pity. He said, “After the accident, my brother’s mental state hasn’t been stable, so it’s not convenient for him to meet guests.”

Xiao Wuyou appeared gentle. No one could pick out any faults in his actions and demeanor. However, Ye Xuan felt that the expression on his face was a little hypocritical no matter how well he tried to hide it. Ye Xuan knew that there was no need for him to stay any longer, and most likely he wouldn’t be able to see Xiao Mingyan.

“Since that’s the case, I won’t disturb you any longer.”

Xiao Wuyou nodded slightly and replied, “Farewell. I won’t see you out.”

As Ye Xuan passed by Xiao Wuyou, he felt that the aura coming from the latter’s body was somewhat familiar. If his senses were correct, it was the aura of the supreme dragon bone.

Could it be that Xiao Wuyou also possessed a supreme dragon bone? Although Xiao Wuyou and Xiao Mingyan were brothers, it was too much of a coincidence for even their root bones to be identical.

Ye Xuan had some doubts, but his intuition told him that it was not appropriate to ask about this.

Xiao Wuyou had just fused with the supreme dragon bone not long ago and had yet to completely merge it with his flesh and blood. Therefore, it was inevitable that others would notice his aura fluctuations.

Watching the two of them leave, Xiao Wuyou’s confidant stepped forward and said, “Young Master, these two people claimed to be Xiao Mingyan’s friends. Should we…”

His eyes were already filled with killing intent before he finished his sentence.

However, Xiao Wuyou waved his hand dismissively, not taking Ye Xuan seriously. He said in a disdainful tone, “He’s just an ordinary person with low cultivation. He wants to build connections with the Xiao clan through Xiao Mingyan. It’s not worth our time to make a big deal out of him. Now that Xiao Mingyan has lost his power, how big of a storm can this friend of his stir up?”

At this moment, Xiao Wuyou still didn’t know how much help Xiao Mingyan would receive from this seemingly ordinary person. The latter would allow Xiao Mingyan to once again soar to the top and dominate the entire Xiao clan.

Xiao Wuyou would kick himself whenever he recalled today’s events. However, that was all in the future.

Xiao Wuyou asked, “How is he now?”

The confidant knew that he was referring to Xiao Mingyan.

He replied, “After being driven out of the Xiao clan, he became a drunkard on the street. He is no different from a homeless man. He was seriously injured and hasn’t received any medical treatment. I think he doesn’t have much time left.”

From the confidant’s description, Xiao Wuyou could imagine how terrible an end Xiao Mingyan would have. The joy and excitement in his eyes could not be concealed.

“He was once a proud son of heaven, but now he’s worse than mud on the street. It’s really satisfying to see him like this. If I were him, I would have killed myself. It would be better than living in this world. It wouldn’t be fun if he did that though.”

His confidant echoed, “Young Master is right. We have to let him know what it means to be better off dead than alive. It’s only because you have been kind enough to let this trash live a few more days that he has yet to go meet the King of Hell.”

These words obviously had struck a chord in Xiao Wuyou’s heart. He said, “Since you’ve already said that he’s a piece of trash, there’s no need to monitor him anymore. Just let his fate run its course.

Xiao Mingyan’s root bone had been extracted and his cultivation had been crippled, but the head of the Xiao clan did not care. Even if Xiao Wuyou were to let him die immediately, Xiao Hong would not say anything after finding out. At most, Xiao Wuyou would just be scolded.

However, Xiao Wuyou was a vicious person. He felt that this level of revenge was not enough. He wanted Xiao Mingyan to see with his own eyes how he would step on him, slowly climb up the ranks, take everything that belonged to him, and become the newest genius of Jade City, revered by tens of thousands of people.

After walking out of the Xiao Manor, A’tian asked, “Young Master Ye, where are we going next?”

Ye Xuan turned around to look at the majestic Xiao Manor. Based on his understanding of Xiao Mingyan, even if the latter has gone berserk, he should still be able to see guests unless he was bedridden.

Moreover, he was clearly fine the last time they met. His aura was stable, and there were no signs of him about to go berserk at all. What exactly happened in such a short time? Many doubts appeared in Ye Xuan’s mind.

Ye Xuan wasn’t a meddlesome person, but he felt that he would have some regrets if he left without finding out the truth.

He had been hurrying on his journey these few days, so it would be fine if he stayed in Jade City slightly longer.

“Help me investigate what happened to the Xiao Manor recently and why Xiao Mingyan suddenly went berserk. I have a feeling that things are not what they seem.”

Ye Xuan took out a bag of spirit stones and handed it to A’tian.

A’tian patted his chest and promised to see to the matter.
