Chapter 316 - 316 Xiao Mingyan Went Berserk316 Xiao Mingyan Went Berserk
Ye Xuan didn’t notice that the drunk homeless man behind him raised his head and stared at his silhouette. Then, the drunkard took a big gulp of his wine. It was tasteless like water.
Xiao Mingyan hadn’t expected that they would meet again under such circumstances. He revealed a self-deprecating smile. The memory of drinking with Ye Xuan was still fresh in his mind. It was as if it had only happened yesterday. In such a short time, everything had changed.
Xiao Wuyou had chased him out of the Xiao clan because he wanted to see him fall to his lowest. Now, Xiao Mingyan was struggling on his last breath, and it was far more painful than death. This was Xiao Wuyou’s true goal.
How could the low-quality wine he was drinking now be as good as the Monkey Wine they had together that day? Now, he was no different from a dead man. He was just using the alcohol to numb his pain as he awaited his death.
Xiao Mingyan raised his head and laughed. As he laughed, he spat out a few more mouthfuls of blood. Quite a bit of his flesh was mixed in his blood. However, he did not seem to care. He took another sip of wine and swallowed all the blood in his throat.
“Once, I believed that I was extraordinary. Yet now, I’m as insignificant as a speck of dust. What a joke of fate. I don’t have many days left to live,” he muttered to himself. His voice was filled with sorrow and despair.
No one knew that this drunkard on the street was once the genius of the Xiao clan. He used to outshine all his peers in Jade City, and even the young and handsome men of the four great clans were overshadowed.
After Ye Xuan walked away, he felt that something was wrong. Although the drunkard had no cultivation and appeared just like an ordinary person, Ye Xuan could smell the faint smell of blood coming from him.
However, it was covered by the overpowering smell of wine just now. If the drunkard was truly an ordinary person, how could he have suffered such a serious injury? Moreover, he felt that the person felt somewhat familiar.
When Ye Xuan returned to the spot, he didn’t see the drunkard. Only the empty bottles on the ground remained.
A’tian was puzzled. He asked, “Young Master Ye, did you drop something? Why did you come back here?”
Ye Xuan shook his head and said, “It’s nothing. I’m probably just imagining things.”
He then asked, “By the way, when you were talking about Xiao Mingyan, you seemed to have something to say. What was it?”
A’tian replied, “I’m not too sure about the details, but I think Xiao Mingyan went berserk while cultivating. The Xiao clan seems to be keeping this a secret. On the other hand, the second young master of the Xiao clan has been in the limelight recently. I never imagined that he has root bones too.”
“Xiao Mingyan went berserk?”
Ye Xuan didn’t quite believe it. After all, Xiao Mingyan was still fine when Ye Xuan last met him. Not only did he have a solid foundation, but he was also strong and even showed signs of reaching a breakthrough. How could he have gone berserk in such a short time?
A’tian was a small figure at the bottom of the hierarchy. Although he had been on the streets collecting intel for many years, he naturally could not come in contact with the higher ups. A lot of the information he had was incomplete.
Embarrassed, A’tian answered, “I’m not too sure about that. Before this, everyone was still discussing that it was a pity for Xiao Mingyan to have gone berserk and that the Xiao clan was also unlucky. Suddenly, the second young master of the Xiao clan appeared out of nowhere. Not only was he not inferior to Xiao Mingyan in terms of talent, but even surpassed his brother.”
Ye Xuan felt that it was a little strange, but he couldn’t put his finger on what was wrong. “Have you heard of the second young master of the Xiao clan before?”
A’tian shook his head. He explained, “People like me don’t know much about these great clans. However, this second young master of the Xiao clan has kept a very low profile all this while. He has only recently shown his brilliance and appeared in the public’s eye.”
Ye Xuan touched the token Xiao Mingyan had given him as he mumbled, “It’s such a shame that you went berserk.”
In his opinion, Xiao Mingyan was more or less on par with the direct disciples of the large sects in Jingdu. Unfortunately, he had gone berserk. It truly was a fickle world. Ye Xuan sighed. He wanted to pay Xiao Mingyan a visit to see how he was doing now.
After all, the two of them felt like old friends at first sight and they had even drank and chatted merrily together. Not many people caught Ye Xuan’s eye, but Xiao Mingyan was one of the rare few.
When A’tian saw the token in Ye Xuan’s hand, he was shocked. “Young Master Ye, how did you come to possess the Xiao clan’s token?”
The token was made from an extraordinary material. It was even better than the ones worn by the ordinary disciples of the Xiao clan. Only people with extraordinary status in the clan would possess them.
“It is a gift from an old friend. Let’s go, take me to the Xiao clan.”
Ye Xuan figured that since Xiao Mingyan had gone berserk, he might be able to help.
A’tian nodded hurriedly. He looked at Ye Xuan with a look of admiration. He never imagined that Ye Xuan was acquainted with the Xiao clan.
They soon arrived at Xiao Manor.
The huge mansion had red walls and green tiles. There were two majestic stone lions at the entrance. Seeing this, A’tian couldn’t help but feel a little intimidated. He had never been to such a place in his life. In the past, he only dared to look at it from afar.
If he wasn’t here as Ye Xuan’s guide, he probably wouldn’t even have come. Just the aura from the guards standing at the door alone made him tremble in fear.
Before they could get close, they were stopped by someone. The guard looked at Ye Xuan and A’tian’s clothes and sternly rebuked them, “Who are you? This isn’t a place you can simply barge into.”
A’tian quickly handed over the token and said, “We’re here to meet the Xiao clan’s eldest young master.”
The guard’s expression changed slightly. He looked at the token in A’tian’s hand and inquired, “Who are you? Why are you looking for the eldest young master?”
A’tian couldn’t answer. He quickly looked at Ye Xuan, who said indifferently, “I became friends with the eldest young master by chance. I heard that he is sick now, so I came to visit him.”
The guard gave Ye Xuan a deep look and did not comment much. He instructed them, “Wait here, I’ll go and report your arrival.”
Xiao Wuyou received the news very quickly. He looked at the token that the guard presented him and smiled with interest.
“Xiao Mingyan actually has friends. How unusual.”
