SUPER RICH FANTASY: I GROW STRONGER BY SPENDING MONEY - Chapter 313 - 313 A Proud Son of Heaven Fell into the Mud

313 A Proud Son of Heaven Fell into the Mud

Actually, Zhao Huaifeng had another concern.

Although Xiao Mingyan had been reduced to such a state, he still shared their surname and was still a member of the Xiao clan.

Now that the Xiao clan had actually done such a thing, their stance was even more unclear now. However, it didn’t mean that they would let Xiao Mingyan die to an outsider.

Moreover, Xiao Mingyan was still in the Xiao clan. If he acted rashly, it would inevitably cause people to suspect whether the Zhao clan had ulterior motives. During this volatile period, it was better not to act rashly.

Zhao Huaifeng said, “Let’s observe the situation first. Now that Xiao Mingyan has become a good-for-nothing, there will be plenty of opportunities to deal with him in the future.”

His subordinate was very puzzled. He said, “I never imagined that the Xiao clan would give up on Xiao Mingyan. After all, he is a genius…”

Before he could finish, he saw Zhao Huaifeng’s cold stare and knelt down. He begged, “Young Master, please spare my life. The current Xiao Mingyan isn’t even fit to carry your shoes!”

Fortunately, Zhao Huaifeng was in a good mood and did not pursue the matter further. He warned, “If you speak without thinking again, you can forget about having a tongue.”

His subordinate couldn’t help but shiver. He knew that Zhao Huaifeng wasn’t joking, so he didn’t dare to say any more.

Although the matters of the Xiao clan had been suppressed, such a huge incident could not be kept secret. All the major clans in Jade City had already heard about it.

Although the clans were a little surprised, it wasn’t good for them to intervene or say anything. Who knew what the Xiao clan was up to?

Zhao Huaifeng ordered, “Send people to keep an eye on that kid. Now that he’s in my territory, we should treat him well.”

Compared to the huge mansion, the rundown courtyard of Xiao manor was like a forgotten place. The dilapidated house was completely in ruins. The doors and windows were leaking, and creaking sounds could be heard as if they would collapse at any given moment.

There wasn’t even a place to stand, yet alone decent furniture. A random pile of weeds could barely be used as a bed, and the ground was covered with dead branches and leaves. It was simply unsightly.

Even the lowest-ranked servants would not live here, so it was hard to imagine that there would be anyone living here.

The sound of footsteps could be heard. A young man stepped into this place, seemingly lighting up the place as he entered.

He was wearing a coat made from the fur of purple cloud lightning martens. This demonic beast’s movements were cunning, and its speed was as fast as lightning. It was very difficult to catch one, so his coat was proof of his noble status.

He wore a purple jade crown of the same color, a supreme-grade magic weapon on his waist, and expensive boots. He appeared even more noble than Xiao Mingyan. He was the second young master of the Xiao clan, Xiao Wuyou.

He teased, “I had not expected that the once proud son of heaven would fall to this point.”

Since the place was too empty, only his echoes could be heard as if there was no one else around.

Xiao Wuyou walked toward the pile of weeds.

“Big Brother, what’s wrong with you? Now that I have come to visit you, aren’t you going to come out and greet me?”

A head popped out from the weeds, the hatred in his eyes almost materializing. It was Xiao Mingyan.

If Ye Xuan were here at this moment, he would definitely be shocked. The current Xiao Mingyan was in an extremely sorry state. There was no trace of his previous high-spirited personality. It was as if they were two completely different people.

Xiao Mingyan’s heart ached when he heard his younger brother’s voice. He could still vividly remember that day. Even now, his spine was still aching. His bones had been forcefully extracted from his body!

That day, after drinking the soup that his mother had given him, he had fallen unconscious. When he woke up again, his whole world had been turned upside down. He still could not figure out why he had been treated in such a manner.

If others had schemed against Xiao Mingyan, he definitely would not have fallen for their schemes so easily with his ability. However, he was betrayed by the people closest to him whom he trusted the most, so Xiao Mingyan had completely lowered his guard.

The pain was unbearable for ordinary people, but Xiao Mingyan had endured it. He had persevered until now just to get an answer.

“What did I do wrong to deserve this treatment?”

Xiao Mingyan’s voice was hoarse, like an old man who was about to die.

Xiao Wuyou looked down at his brother’s sorry state. Being able to ruthlessly keep his brother under his feet made him feel ecstatic. All the depression he had felt for many years was instantly swept away.

He had been waiting for this moment. He had planned for a long time for this day.

“Brother, what are you talking about? I don’t understand.”

As he looked at this familiar face in front of him, Xiao Mingyan recalled the child who followed behind him and called him brother. Now, he felt that he was a complete stranger, as if they had just met for the first time.

“Wuyou, you’ve been weak since you were young. I’ll give you anything you want, even the stars in the sky. I would have even given you my supreme dragon bone. Why do you have to use such a method against me?”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wuyou’s gentle face twisted for a moment. He thought of something, and his hypocritical mask finally fell off. He ruthlessly stepped on Xiao Mingyan’s hand.

Hearing Xiao Mingyan’s muffled groan, the corners of Xiao Wuyou’s mouth curled up into a smile. The more Xiao Mingyan was in pain, the happier he was.

He wanted Xiao Mingyan to be in so much pain that he would rather die than suffer.

“You are all talk. Would you actually have given me the supreme dragon bone? If I want something, I’ll get it myself. I don’t care for your pity!”

He continued, “Why are you able to shine so brightly since you were young, while I can only live in your shadow forever because of my weak body? My dear brother, do you know what I have been through all these years?”

“I also want an answer. Why was it me and not you? ”

Xiao Wuyou enunciated every word as the hatred in his eyes became even more frightening. He exerted more force with his foot.

Xiao Mingyan could feel that his meridians were about to break. Such pain was worse than death, as if 10,000 ants were gnawing at his heart. It almost drove him crazy.
