I've run out of money to protect Arad

Chapter 16 The Story of the Ancestors of the Xiao Family

Different from the previous pattern of adding a line of words to a picture, the last page of the parchment scroll has no pictures, but only a paragraph of text.

"Resurrection of spiritual energy, erosion of alien world, drastic changes in the world, evolutionary mutation, behind all these, is it the annihilation of human nature, or the loss of morality, the corruption of thought, or the lack of caring? Do you want to know the answer to all these? Then Go and look for it, I've hidden it, and it's sure to be found somewhere in the world!"

At this moment, Brother Chao's heart did not fluctuate, and he even wanted to laugh.

"Is this the so-called 'data'?"

"That's right, the ancestors of the Xiao family have predicted all the changes in this world, so the young master and this gentleman don't have to worry, everything is determined."

Worry about your sister!Definite number of wool ah!Couldn't the ancestor of the Xiao family be you, the old man?

Duan Chao yelled in his heart, like this, I can draw eight out of ten pictures for you with the effort of drawing Lao Tzu's shit, okay?
Your explanation is really useless.

"By the way, Uncle Zhong, do you know the Lan family? I heard that they sent people to arrest me this time."

As a member of the Xiao family with good roots, Xiao Lin naturally couldn't complain like Duan Chao without scruples, especially when he met the old grandfather's earnest gaze.

But for a moment, he didn't know what to say, so he could only ask another question, but he regretted it as soon as he finished asking.

Because he heard the young master's inquiry, the grandfather immediately told the stories of the two families:

"The relationship between the Xiao family and the Lan family can be traced back to the ancestors of the two families. In that era of fighting qi, the ancestor of the Xiao family had an outstanding talent. He practiced Qi at the age of four, and became the youngest fighter in the family in a hundred years at the age of 12. Unexpectedly, in the next three years, his skill began to regress for some reason, and he gradually became a good-for-nothing who was looked down upon by others.

At that time, it was Miss Lan who was married to the young master of the Xiao family. In order to have her own happiness and the right to choose her destiny, she went to the Xiao family to withdraw the engagement without her grandfather's knowledge, which made the Xiao family lose face.

The young master of the Xiao family divorced his wife in anger. He left his wife saying "Don't bully the young man into poverty" and wandered to the end of the world. Before leaving, he vowed to go to Miss Lan's school in three years to wash away the humiliation of that day.

Later, the young master of the Xiao family really fulfilled his promise, but he did not get together with Miss Lan's family in the end. Instead, he married Miss Lan's master as his wife. Since then, the relationship between the two families has become complicated and has continued to this day. . "

This time, even Xiao Lin, a descendant of the Xiao family who is rooted in Miaohong, couldn't help but complain with Duan Chao after listening to the old man's words:

"Damn it, this is it!"

*******************************************************************
"Adventurer, when are we going back to the continent of Arad?"

After learning about the "glorious deeds" of the ancestors of the Xiao family through the librarian of the Xiao family, Xiao Lin, who was still in a state of confusion, was called away by his father. Settled in this base first.

As soon as the two returned to the room, Kelly asked this question.

The reason why Kelly came to this world is because she heard from Celia that Duan Chao encountered difficulties and needed help.

When she really came here through the rift in another dimension, she found that Duan Chao was indeed in some trouble.

But now it seems that the troubles Duan Chao has encountered are trivial and have been resolved, so she will naturally prepare for her next goal and bring Duan Chao back to the Arad Continent.

Duan Chao understood in her mind that it would be very interesting for him to go to the Arad continent, and it would definitely be faster to upgrade there than on Earth.

But now there is one small problem that needs to be solved.

"Do you know how to get back?"

"Ah! Don't you know?"

The two looked at each other for a long time, and finally Kaili was defeated by Brother Chao's piercing eyes, "I, I will think of a way."

Compared to Kaili who was anxious to go back to the mainland of Arad, Brother Chao was naturally much more relaxed. When Kaili went to the grandfather to check the information again, he wandered around the Xiao family base by himself.

"As the saying goes, 'Practice hard, you will become a beggar, wander around, a generation of heroes'... By the way, I should be able to trigger some missions by wandering around like me..."

He wandered around with this mentality, but he didn't expect to be stopped after walking a few steps.

"Great Mr. Duan, I finally found you!"

Duan Chao glanced at this ordinary strong man, "Are you looking for me?"

"Yes, Mr. Duan! The young master asked me to invite you over!"

Xiao Cong had personally seen Xiao Lin beat Chu Bai for Duan Chao before, and knowing Duan Chao's identity, he was very respectful.

"Let's go then!"

Duan Chao accepted the task decisively.

"Brother Chao, you are here."

As soon as he saw Duan Chao, Xiao Lin immediately put down what he was doing and came up to him.

"Didn't you go to see your father?"

It took about 10 minutes for Xiao Lin to be called away by his father. It is said that Xiao Lin encountered this series of things on the way to the base. Their father and son should not have ended the interview so quickly. They even said that Brother Chao would not feel that strangeness.

"My dad...well...he went to negotiate."

"Negotiation?" Duan Chao immediately reacted, "And the Lan family? They probably won't admit it, right?"

"Yes." Xiao Lin said helplessly, "They insisted that they did not participate in this incident."

"Since that's the case, why don't we talk about wool?" Duan Chao looked at Xiao Lin, "We can't talk to that old guy named Wei Wuya, can we?"

Xiao Lin nodded with a wry smile, "You guessed right, it really is him."

"So those two soy sauce guys really survived," Duan Chao rubbed his chin, "Well, let me think about it..."

In just a few seconds, Duan Chao violently slapped the table.

His action startled Xiao Lin.

"Brother Chao, Brother Chao?"

"The Xiao family has an insider!"

Duan Chao said firmly.

"Didn't you say this a long time ago? The driver Lao Wang was bribed by them..."

"That's the view of ordinary people." Duan Chao waved his hand, "From all indications, the in-laws of your family should at least be at Xiao Jie's level."

He didn't tell Xiao Lin that Xiao Jie already knew about this on the way back to Xiao's house, and that he had once regarded him as one of the suspects.

Xiao Lin's reaction was not slow, Duan Chao reminded him to react immediately: "Xiao Jie's level? You mean...Chu Bai?"

Judging from Chu Bai's performance, he has indeed been looking for trouble for Duan Chao and Kaili since he appeared. If he is an internal response, many things can make sense.

"It's so superficial! Xiao Linzi, you really disappoint me!"

"Hey, can you stop calling me that? I'm not Lin Pingzhi..."

Xiao Lin protested bitterly.

"Listen to me, Xiao Linzi!"

Ignoring Xiao Lin's protest, Duan Chao continued:
"When I was an intern at Scotland Yard, I studied all the strange cases in the world, including the Murder on the Orient Express, the Nile tragedy, the study of scarlet characters, the Hong Kong strange case, etc. Through studying these cases, I made a major discovery !"
