Chapter 3812 Xiao Huaiyuan's proposal
Xiao Huaiyuan was thinking, did he look like a villain?
Why did Xiao Yi think so?
Even if he is not good at character, he would not do such a thing. Moreover, he came to see Xiao Yi today, not for this purpose.
"You can rest assured about this. It is not for this purpose that I came here to find you today. I said it before. This trip is just to talk to you, and there is no other intention."
"Then I'm very curious. The people of the Xiao clan think that they have a noble status. People like me who live outside can actually attract your attention and come to visit me."
"It seems that you have a misunderstanding of the Xiao clan. Not everyone is like you said. Putting aside your identities, everyone is the same. There is no difference between sitting here."
Xiao Yi sat opposite Xiao Huaiyuan. Xiao Huaiyuan's face made people feel very serious, just like a teacher in school, with a hint of majesty that could not be violated.
The aura emitted proves that he has absolute strength. In front of this person, Xiao Yi is no match for him at all. When encountering such a person, it is best to find an opportunity to slip away.
???Okay? He did not show hostility from Xiao Huaiyuan. Xiao Yi personally poured him a cup of tea. Since there were guests coming, he would follow the etiquette of hospitality.
When he saw Xiao Huaiyuan, he actually had a question in his heart, and was thinking about finding someone to answer it. Perhaps Xiao Huaiyuan would know some inside information.
"I really didn't expect that as his descendant, you would survive the disaster that Xiao Huaiyi encountered back then."
Xiao Huaiyuan was not involved in the incident that year. Most of the planners of that incident were Xiao Huaili's confidants. Xiao Huaili would not believe people like Xiao Huaiyuan.
The matter is related to the position of his patriarch in the future, and no mistakes can occur, so by the time Xiao Huaiyuan learned the news, it was too late and everything was a foregone conclusion.
"I was my grandfather back then, and he used his children to replace me from the scene of the accident. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid I would have become a lonely ghost."
"Your grandpa?"
Isn’t Xiao Yi’s grandfather Xiao Qian?
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 was going out to do things, he would always bring him with him.
Because Xiao Shan’s original name was not Xiao, this was the name Xiao Huaiyi later changed to him, not everyone in the Xiao clan, so he naturally had no qualifications to practice the Xiao clan’s martial arts.
Xiao Huaiyuan did not expect that in a critical moment, Xiao Shan was willing to replace Xiao Yi with his child, which shows how deep the relationship between the two master and servant is.
Perhaps it was because Xiao Shan was just an ordinary outsider that after the incident that year, Xiao Shan lost his traces in the Xiao clan, and Xiao Huaili did not focus on him, so that Xiao Shan and Xiao Yi survived.
"The person you are talking about is Xiaoshan. He is just a servant in the Xiao clan. It seems a bit inappropriate to call him grandpa."
"I don't need to follow any 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 how prominent the identity is, these have nothing to do with Xiao Yi.
From this sentence, Xiao Huaiyuan could hear that Xiao Yi’s resentment towards the Xiao clan was not just a few people, and could be relieved by just a few words.
"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."
Xiao Huaiyuan's purpose of appearing here was really hard for Xiao Yi to guess. With his words next, he finally gradually understood.
It turns out that among the Xiao clan, the position of the clan leader was elected by everyone, and the largest level was the five elders of the Xiao clan.
Only by being able to stand in front of the five elders will you pass the challenges set by the clan. After layer by layer, you will be able to evaluate the best candidates.
The five elders only need three people to agree with, and this person is the next patriarch. Such a method of recommendation is to make the election of patriarchs transparent and fair.
?And among these candidates, one of them is the most special. This person is from the clan leader and elects the younger generation below.
?The Xiao clan will be divided into several veins according to the family situation. For example, Xiao Gan is one vein, and Xiao Huaili and his brothers came down, followed by Xiao Qing, Xiao Cang and Xiao Yi.
The leader of the clan is in the same lineage and cannot be passed on to five people at most. The leader of the clan was Xiao Gan's father, then Xiao Gan, and later Xiao Huaiyi.
Although Xiao Huaiyi encountered an unexpected situation, before that, Xiao Huaiyi's name had been written on the position of patriarch. Even if he could not sit in this position, he still had to count.
That means that Xiao Gan's lineage only has one chance to let his descendants take the position of patriarch, and what Xiao Huaili recommended would directly skip the previous procedure and let the five patriarchs choose.
"Although such a system is to ensure fairness, the word fairness has never appeared since ancient times. The next patriarch, Xiao Huaili, has already laid the foundation for his son."
Xiao Huaiyuandao chose an incompetent person to be the leader of the Xiao clan, which was really a result he didn't want to see. Instead of doing this, it would be better to have a public election.
Unfortunately, even the elder, he was powerless in the election. The other people had already agreed to Xiao Huaili, so he could only go with the flow.
"I understand. What you mean is that in the election of the Xiao clan leader, Xiao Huaili has covered the sky with one hand, and no one else has a chance, right?"
"good."
"But what do you say have to do with me?
I have no interest in who is the leader of the Xiao clan."
Xiao Yi said in one sentence, Xiao Huaiyuan almost took off the teacup in his hand and dropped it on the ground. He had thought a lot before coming. What kind of answer would Xiao Yi have if he said such words?
But he never expected that Xiao Yi's attitude was so careless, as if the Xiao clan had nothing to do with him, which made him continue to talk about the topic.
"Ahem... Xiao Yi is the leader of the Xiao clan. How many young people from the Xiao clan want to sit in this position."
For this position, some people even do not hesitate to attack their own ties, power and status, and no one can stop the temptation of these two things.
Many people were crazy about such a position, but Xiao Yi couldn't help but feel interested.
"What does it have to do with me? What does the leader of the Xiao clan have to do with me? Didn't Xiao Huaili want his son to sit in this position? Then you just nod and agree."
