Chapter 683
”Won’t you find out soon enough?” Although Qiao Tian Chang was feeling curious about this place, Ning Meng Yao was more important to him .
”You’re right, since we’re already here, we’ll just have a good look and see what kind of mysterious tribe this is,” The corner of Ning Meng Yao’s lips curled up, if not for the situation not permitting, Ning Meng Yao would definitely say that this place was a good place to retire .
While leading the two of them, the old man entered the ancestral hall first .
After the three of them entered the ancestral hall, the old man lit the incense and candles, he then worshiped the memorial tablets before turning around . He kneeled towards Ning Meng Yao: “Old servant Xiao Ren greets young miss . ”
”You are……”
”Young miss, this is the inheritance ceremony, the master set this rule at that time . Before the master left, she said that if one day the chest she left behind was opened by someone, our whole tribe must listen to that person’s command,” Xiao Ren said the family precepts word by word .
Ning Meng Yao gave the old man a deep glance: “Get up . ”
”Thank you, young miss . ”
”Tell me about this place,” Ning Meng Yao turned around and walked out of the ancestral hall, it felt oppressive remaining there .
Xiao Ren followed behind Ning Meng Yao and took the two of them to an exquisite house .
”This was the master’s house at that time, we have always been maintaining it . Young miss, you can stay here,” Xiao Ren smiled as he explained to Ning Meng Yao .
Ning Meng Yao took a glance and nodded her head, the three of them entered together .
”Speak,” Ning Meng Yao opened her mouth and said coldly after sitting down .
Xiao Ren did not mind Ning Meng Yao using an unfriendly tone, instead, he smiled and said: “Our tribe has been guarding this place close to four centuries since our first generation until now, my generation is the fifth generation . I am the current patriarch right now, there are less than a hundred people in the tribe and the rest are all over the world . ”
Ning Meng Yao’s eyelids twitched, it was not only Tong Bao Zhai, even they are based all over the world .
”Young miss, no need to be suspicious, the situation was unstable at that time, the master was forced to leave and could only use such a method to protect the whole Xiao Empire,” Xiao Ren seemed to have sensed Ning Meng Yao’s astonishment, his aged smiling face was like a wrinkled chrysanthemum .
”And then?” It had been such a long time, Ning Meng Yao really doubted whether these people still followed their original goals, or whether these people were harboring their own thoughts .
”Young miss, no need to worry, these people can be trusted,” Xiao Ren suddenly said after he seemed to have understood Ning Meng Yao’s worry .
Ning Meng Yao crossed her arms and looked at the old man who had a look of certainty with a smile and yet not a smile, she asked while feeling amused: “No need to worry? All can be trusted? I really wish to know where you get the confidence from?”
”Young miss, don’t you worry, I still have this little bit of confidence,” Xiao Ren said with a face full of smiles .
Ning Meng Yao sneered disdainfully: “Confidence? In this world, the most popular thing is trust, the most disgusting thing is also trust . In addition, let me teach you a sentence, n.o.body will remain the same,” Especially when it comes to fame, wealth and status .
In front of these things, all the trust is nothing but a big joke, especially after such a long time .
Perhaps there were people in the small tribe that was completely trustworthy just as Xiao Ren said, but Ning Meng Yao did not have much trust in the others, one had to know, after being in contact with the ostentatious society for so long, their hearts would also have a great change .
”Young miss……”
”If you think I’ve said wrongly, you can investigate the families of those people, you can see whether they’re the same as what you thought, whether or not they still remember the mission given to them,” Guarding for hundreds of years was indeed not easy for Ning Meng Yao, but there were some things that needed to be stated clearly .
Xiao Ren opened his mouth and wanted to explain on behalf of those people, but he was unable to say anything, in the end, he could only nod in silence .
”All right, just do as you deem fit over these matters, no need to inform me . Other than that, I wish to know everything about Xiao Empire’s second Princess .
