Translator: Vesper

  Qiao Tian Chang paused when he walked to Xiao Si’s side. He whispered something in his ear. Then Ning Meng Yao saw Xiao Si’s expression changed and his face turn pale.

  Ning Meng Yao looked at Qiao Tian Chang doubtfully: “What did you tell him?”


  “You want to know?”


  “I don’t want to.” As soon as she saw Qiao Tian Chang’s expression, she shook her head subconsciously, it did not mean good whenever he showed such an expression.

  After the three of them returned home: “Miss, I’m really sorry, I couldn’t even raise my own son well.” Xiao Ren mocked himself.

  He could educate Qing Huai and the rest well, but he could not educate his son well, that was so saddening

  Ning Meng Yao still somewhat believed Xiao Ren, for a person to give up everything, just to protect and wait for a groundless owner, it had been difficult for him.

  If it were others, they would have given up long ago, rather than to have waited for so long, for nothing. Instead, he had not given up, he had been determined, so Ning Meng Yao actually respected and admired Xiao Ren, and those who had the same thoughts as him.

  So how could she blame him?

  “Uncle Ren, it’s not your fault. Let’s continue with the topic earlier.” With what happened that time, Ning Meng Yao did not think Xiao Si could do anything else.

  With that, Xiao Ren finally let go of the topic, but he said seriously: “Miss, I haven’t told you one more thing.”


  “Hmm?”


  “Actually, our family can only be called the guardian.” Xiao Ren sighed and said helplessly.

  Ning Meng Yao gave Xiao Ren a different look: “Guardian? What do you mean?”


  “We’re only responsible for guarding everything that is here.”


  Now Ning Meng Yao was completely confused, she looked at Xiao Ren: “There seems to be something strange.” Ning Meng Yao muttered in a low voice.

  Xiao Ren watched Ning Meng Yao’s stun expression and could not help laughing: “Miss, Actually what I meant is, as the guardians of these things, we’re responsible to guard them, but there is actually another group of people involved.”


  “Another group?” Ning Meng Yao eyed Xiao Ren differently. Why didn’t he tell her that when he first arrived?

  “This is the rule, and it has always been the case since the beginning.” Only when the heir arrived and was about to leave, could he then tell the truth.

  Ning Meng Yao and Qiao Tian Chang glanced at each other with surprise.

  “Miss, as for that other group, you must take this and go look for them.” Xiao Ren trembled as he took out a black token. This was similar to the previous secret order, but there were some differences.

  “That secret order is just an ordinary token. There are more than thirty pieces in our place.” Seemingly to understand what Ning Meng Yao was thinking, Xiao Ren explained with a smile.

  Ning Meng Yao kept quiet. More than thirty pieces? How powerful can it represent?

  “Miss, you don’t have to worry about this.” Xiao Ren said suddenly.

  “Why?”


  Xiao Ren became serious: “That group of people is the most mysterious in the whole family. They are also diehards, but not many people know their identity, including me. I can only let you know how to find them. As for the specifics, only you can figure it out yourself.”


  Ning Meng Yao’s lips twitched slightly, what does he mean? Does he want me to run around to search?

  “Miss, these people are very important to you, because there are others looking for this.” Xiao Ren sighed and said very seriously.

  Ning Meng Yao was surprised for a moment, then she turned to Xiao Ren subconsciously: “Who are they, Uncle Ren?”


  “The descendents.” Xiao Ren glanced at Ning Meng Yao and said seriously.

  Although they were all members of the Xiao Empire’s royal family, in the eyes of those people, only they were the orthodox blood of the Xiao family. After all, the original Xiao Empire was the hard work of their ancestors.

  Ning Meng Yao’s eyes widened: “Didn’t you say……”


  “Those things are only used to deceive the younger generations.”


  Ning Meng Yao remained silent as she watched Xiao Ren, why did the matter seem more and more serious as we speak?
