"Won't you find out soon?" Although Qiao Tianchang was also very curious about this place, what was more important to him was Ning Mengyao.
"You're right. Now that we've come to this place, let's take a closer look at what kind of mysterious tribe this is." Ning Mengyao's lips curled up slightly. If the situation hadn't allowed it, Ning Mengyao would have Yao will definitely say that this is really a good place to retire.
Taking Ning Mengyao with him, the old man went to the ancestral hall first.
After the three of them arrived at the ancestral hall, the old man lit the incense candle, first bowed to the tablets above, then turned around and knelt down to Ning Mengyao: "Old slave Xiao Ren has seen the young lady."
"What are you..."
"Miss, this is an inheritance ceremony. It is a rule set by the master. Before he left, the master said that if one day in the future, the box she left behind was opened, then our entire clan will definitely obey that order. People." Xiao Ren said the family motto word for word.
Ning Mengyao gave the old man a deep look: "Get up."
"Thank you, miss."
"Tell me about this place." Ning Mengyao turned around and left the ancestral hall. This place was a bit depressing.
Xiao Ren followed Ning Mengyao out and took the two of them to an exquisite house.
"This is the owner's original courtyard. We have been renovating it. Miss can live here." Xiao Ren explained to Ning Mengyao with a smile.
Ning Mengyao took a look and nodded, and the three of them walked in together.
"Say it." After sitting down, Ning Mengyao said coldly.
Xiao Ren didn't care about Ning Mengyao's not very good tone, but said with a smile: "Our family has been guarding this place for nearly four hundred years from the first generation to now, and my generation is already the fifth generation. I am the current leader of the clan, and there are less than a hundred people in the clan, and the rest are spread across various countries."
Ning Mengyao's eyelids twitched. Not only Tongbaozhai, but also other countries were involved.
"Miss, don't worry. The situation was unstable, but the master had to leave. He could only protect the entire Xiao country in this way." Xiao Ren seemed to see Ning Mengyao's surprise, and his old face smiled like a smile. Like a wrinkled chrysanthemum.
"Then what?" For such a long time, Ning Mengyao was really in his arms. Are these people really still following their original purpose, or are they now having their own thoughts.
"Don't worry, miss, these people can be trusted." Xiao Ren suddenly spoke as if he understood Ning Mengyao's worries.
Ning Mengyao crossed her arms and looked at the determined old man in front of her with a half-smile, and asked a little funny: "Don't worry? Can you trust me? I really want to know where you get this confidence."
"Miss, don't worry, I still have some confidence." Xiao Ren said with a smile on his face.
Ning Mengyao sneered disdainfully: "Confidence? In this world, the most popular thing is trust, but the most disgusting thing is also trust. Let me tell you, no one is immutable." Especially when it comes to fame and fortune. , money, and status.
In the face of these things, all trust will become a big joke, especially after such a long time.
Maybe the people in this small tribe can trust them completely as Xiao Ren said, but for other people, Ning Mengyao really doesn't believe it at all. You know, after being exposed to the flashy world for a long time, then The heart will also become bigger.
"Miss… "
"I think I made a mistake. You can go and investigate the families of those people to see if they are still different from what you imagined. They all still remember your mission." A hundred years of guardianship, for Ning Mengyao , this is indeed not easy, but some things must be said clearly.
Xiao Ren opened his mouth, wanting to explain to those people, but nothing came out. In the end, he could only nod silently.
"Okay, you can just take care of these things yourself. You don't need to tell me. Besides, I want to know everything about the second eldest princess of the Xiao Kingdom."
