When Xu Yuan returned to the courtyard prepared by Baizhao for Xu Yuan and the three of them, Xu Xinyao was sitting in front of the pavilion in the courtyard, talking to Ran Qingmo in a low voice.

But when Xu Yuan pushed the door open, Xu Xinyao immediately stopped talking, as if she didn't want him to hear it.

Xu Yuan came over and asked with a smile:

"What are you talking about?"

Xu Xinyao stood up, bent her eyes and smiled:

"Secret talk in the girls' boudoir, third brother, you want to know too?"

"Yes I do."

Walking closer, Xu Yuan sat down casually, put the box containing the human skin mask on the table, and said with a smile:

"Of course, Ran Qingmo, what were you talking about just now?"

Ran Qingmo on the side put away his half-understanding look, hesitated a little, shook his head and said:

"Xinyao told me that I can't tell you about this."

"oh?"

Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "What is so mysterious?"

"cough!"

At this time Xu Xinyao cleared her throat and interrupted, changed the subject, bent her eyes and said with a smile:

"Third brother, what's in this box?"

"."

Xu Yuan didn't delve into what the second daughter's spy said just now, and whispered to the saint's remnant soul, "Seal for a while" in his heart, and then blocked the saint's remnant soul's five senses.

Opening the box, he whispered:

"Human skin masks, you and I each have one, bring them when you go to negotiate."

"What?"

Xu Xinyao looked at the two compartments in the box, her eyes were a little surprised: "With a mask?"

Xu Yuan picked up the teacup on the stone table, poured himself a cup, and drank it down:

"Father's meaning."

Xu Xinyao's eyes showed some thought when she heard the words, but she asked immediately:

"Why?"

Xu Yuan put down his teacup, tapped his finger on the stone table lightly, did not answer immediately, but continued:

"Besides, my father also gave me the command of the 40,000 black-scaled army, and according to Yuan Hao, as long as I want, I can unconditionally order him to destroy the Wanxiang sect directly."

"."

Ran Qingmo blinked her eyes, feeling a little puzzled.

Xu Xinyao frowned, and said in a low voice:

"Third brother, what did you tell me about this?"

She didn't think that the third brother in front of her told her this to ask for her opinion.

Xu Yuan let out a long sigh and said in a low voice:

"I want to ask you, what happened to the second brother's death?"

In the various plot lines of Cangyuan, Xu Changan, the second son of the Xiangguo Mansion, has never appeared in the scene, so Xu Yuan could not learn any useful information from it.

And the news about the second brother's death in this life is just that one day when he was enjoying himself in Goulan, he suddenly learned that the second brother had passed away and told him to return home immediately.

Back then, it was impossible for the dandy to come into contact with these things, but Xu Xinyao had already studied and returned home at that time, and with the other party's status at the time, she should know some inside stories.

Hearing the word "Second Brother", Xu Xinyao was taken aback for a moment, then her beautiful eyes dimmed for a moment, and she asked a little puzzled:

"Third brother, why did you suddenly ask this?"

Xu Yuan didn't answer immediately, but just asked:

"I have some guesses in my mind, so I want to ask."

Xu Xinyao pondered for a while, and said in a low voice:

"Brother asked my father about this matter at the time, but my father didn't say much, he just said that he was to blame for this matter. When my elder brother asked, my father seemed a little angry, so my elder brother left the house directly."

"."

Xu Yuan frowned little by little when he heard this:

"What did Xu Changge do?"

Xu Xinyao shook her head:

"I don't know."

Xu Yuan continued to ask:

"Are you sure that your father was angry because of the big brother's questioning?"

Xu Xinyao thought about it carefully, then said in a low voice:

"It's not angry, the voice is very serious."

After all,

Seeing Xu Yuan's complicated expression, Xu Xinyao asked softly:

"Third brother, does the death of second brother have something to do with this matter?"

"No."

Xu Yuan's tone was complicated: "But I probably know who the person who attacked the second brother is."

"."

Xu Xinyao's beautiful eyes were surprised when she heard the words, and her delicate skinned palms were slightly clenched:

"Who is it?"

"Everyone."

"ah?"

"."

Xu Yuan took a deep breath, glanced at the human skin mask on the table, and said word by word:

"Everyone except our Xiangguo Mansion."

"."

When Xu Xinyao heard these words, doubts appeared in her beautiful eyes:

"Everyone?"

Xu Yuan looked down at his palm:

"Second brother's death is most likely because he was too sharp."

Xu Xinyao's beautiful eyes were full of doubts:

"Too sharp? But brother, isn't he more sharp?"

"Xu Changge?"

Xu Yuan leaned against the wooden guardrail behind him:

"Xu Changge's cultivation level is too high. He was already at the beginning ten years ago. Our family members are not very clear about his current cultivation level. If the outside world wants to kill him, it will take at least two or three transformations to be safe.

"And Xinyao, those people are actually more afraid of the second brother than the eldest brother."

"."

The incomprehension in Xu Xinyao's beautiful eyes became even stronger.

Xu Changge is famous all over the world, but Xu Changan is only a little famous.

Xu Yuan sighed and asked:

"Xinyao, you should remember what the second brother was doing before?"

Xu Xinyao thought for a while and said:

"Second brother seems to have been following his father since he returned from his travels."

Xu Yuan nodded:

"Yes, you didn't come back when he returned from his tour. I have been in the capital all the time, so I know that the second brother is in charge of contacting many important guests, even Mr. Hua Hong and Aunt Lou Ji."

When Xu Xinyao heard this, she already understood what the third brother in front of her meant:

"Third brother, do you mean that father wants to train second brother to succeed him?"

Xu Yuan thought of the back figure who always held a stick in front of him:

"After all, the second brother has liked reasoning the most since he was a child."

After all, be quiet for a long time.

Ran Qingmo bit her lip, looked at Xu Yuan and wanted to say something comforting, but couldn't.

Xu Yuan took the human skin mask out of the box:

"Now everyone in the world hopes that our Xiangguo Mansion will decline, so the second brother must die. Once he dies, no one in our family can take over the father's position.

"You also know the structure of our Xiangguo Mansion. It basically revolves around the father alone. If you can't hold down the people below, it will easily fall apart."

"But, isn't there a big brother?"

Xu Xinyao said in a low voice.

In her impression, except for Xu Yuan, the two elder brothers are omnipotent.

The figure of Xu Changge appeared in Xu Yuan's mind, and he shook his head in denial:

"Brother, he can't do it.

"Although he can suppress the people below, he is too indifferent and doesn't know how to endure. At most, he will only become the next uncle. If he takes over the Xiangguo Mansion, there is a high probability that he will gradually decline.

"This is probably the reason why my father was helpless at the beginning."

"The Zongmen, the aristocratic family, and even the sage in the Golden Temple, they all want the second brother to die."

What the world is afraid of is not Xu Changge, but what is afraid of another Xu Yinhe from the Xiangguo Mansion.

words fall,

Xu Yuan put the human skin mask on his face.
