Chapter 847: Can They Still Move?

Translator: Vesper

Every place had their own rules. Judging by the details of this place, Feng Xiao did not believe that this was all their strength. Those old guys could not possibly have nothing. The reason why he did not want to act, was not only because he could not act now, but also because he was afraid of their strength.

As far as he knew, most of those old people of the Xiao family on the West Coast lived to be more than a hundred years old, but the clan who guarded the Xiao family’s ancestors’ things were different.

“Enough. If the Lord has to do everything on his own, then what for do I keep you guys?” Feng Xiao glanced coldly at the trembling crowd, he suddenly thought of Wei Luo, and felt an unknown and sudden anger.

Seeing his furious expression, his subordinates shook nervously for fear that they had accidentally made him angry by mentioning the matter.

Ning Meng Yao and the rest quickly found out about Feng Xiao’s arrival, and the assassination began to be hindered at the same time. That man’s power was too strong so they dared not act rashly.

“It seems that he had noticed our movements. He’s here now, so don’t do anything, just put up a strong defence. I’m quite curious. He’s so powerful, but why doesn’t he do anything?” Ning Meng Yao frowned as she said thoughtfully.

Qiao Tian Chang also nodded in agreement: “You’re right. Judging by his strength, this kind of obstacle was meaningless to him, so why isn’t he taking any action?”

Xiao Ren listened to the both of them and said in a deep voice: “That’s because of the elders in the clan.”

“Elders?”

“Yes, there are five elders in the clan, two of them are 100 years old. Their strength is unfathomable, but they have always been practicing martial arts in the clan forbidden land and they rarely appear. Unless there is a crisis of genocide in the clan, otherwise, they won’t show up.” They had a lot of cards up their sleeves here, the elders probably wanted to train them, that was why they still had not shown up.

Ning Meng Yao’s eyes widened in surprise: “A hundred years old? Can they still move?” She asked subconsciously.

In the modern age, those centenarians had basically lost their physical strength. It was good enough if they were able to take care of themselves, but these elders were still able to protect the clan? Was this even possible?

“Haha, the two hundred-year-old elders in the clan look like they’re in their 70s, Miss, and they are very tough, just like any other middle-aged people.” Xiao Ren was amused by Ning Meng Yao’s words, but he did not think that what she said was wrong. After all, anyone would react the same subconsciously when they hear such a thing.

Ning Meng Yao looked at Xiao Ren blankly. She saw that his expression was serious, and he clearly not joking at all. Only then did she believe that what he said was true, but she had another thought in her heart, who were those two elders?

“But how did he know about them?”

“Probably because of the Xiao family on the West Coast.” Qiao Tian Chang’s eyes narrowed slightly and replied thoughtfully.

“Huh?”

“Several ancestors of the Xiao family are older than the two elders. When I was there, I heard from Mo Lin that some people in the Xiao family lived very long. They were all at least one hundred years old, some even lived till one hundred and fifty years old.” Qiao Tian Chang recalled that when he heard this from Mo Lin, he thought it was just a fantasy. How could a person live to be more than one hundred and fifty years old? It was crazy to think about it.

Ning Meng Yao blinked once, then blinked again. Okay, the people of the Xiao family were really long-lived.

But she thought about it carefully, I am also part of the Xiao family...

Was she going to live until then? At the thought of this possibility, Ning Meng Yao looked down as she felt the chills in her heart. Forget it, she would not want to be such a monster.

Qiao Tian Chang tapped on Ning Meng Yao’s head as he scolded her not to think of such nonsense.

Ning Meng Yao touched her nose embarrassingly, then she smiled. In the end, Tian Chang knew her best.

She was relieved now that the person had been contained: “Phew, as long as we do not push that person to the limit, then he will not take action on us. This way, I can be rest assured.”

Qiao Tian Chang looked at Ning Meng Yao helplessly, he felt that this woman’s thinking was too simple: “Yao Yao, you have to remember a proverb, even a dog will jump over a wall if it’s in a hurry, let alone human beings.”
