Chapter 303: Chapter 303: Greatly Disappointed (1)_1

Situ Xin nodded in approval at Situ Muli’s composure. "I’ll leave this matter in your hands then. However, you must be cautious about your safety, I don’t want the ally I’ve spent so much effort to train to just vanish like that. That would make my labor in vain. By the way, when you handle this matter, take Xiang Yang with you." Although this Situ Muli had become much more formidable under Situ Xin’s training compared to before, Situ Xin was still worried about the unexpected. So, she insisted that Xiang Yang accompany him.

"Yes, I understand." He was clearly aware of her concern for him, and he was grateful for Situ Xin in his heart, also feeling fortunate for his choice back then.

"Make sure you handle this cleanly, and don’t let The Dark Division be exposed. Now is not the time to confront that organization head-on." Actually, what Situ Xin left unsaid was her aversion to trouble. Since the existence of that organization did not pose an immediate danger that required Situ Xin to step in and eradicate it, she would not go out of her way to court trouble.

"I know," Situ Muli answered respectfully. By now, he completely acknowledged his master Situ Xin and was utterly obedient.

After Situ Muli had left, Situ Xin took the documents and went to find Xiao Muli. This matter concerned Xiao Muli as well, and as the affected party, he had the right to know.

Situ Xin felt that since Xiao Muli would eventually take over the Xiao Family, he should be informed about these matters.

Upon arriving at the Xiao Family, Situ Xin went straight to the point without wasting any words and threw the paper to Xiao Muli. "Here, take a look for yourself."

Looking puzzled, Xiao Muli took the paper Situ Xin handed him. He had just glanced at it when he lifted his head, his face showing a terrible expression as he looked at Situ Xin: "Xiao Xin, this information..."

"Don’t worry, this information is true." Thinking Xiao Muli doubted the authenticity of the information, Situ Xin spoke out to reassure him.

"Xiao Xin, you’ve misunderstood; I don’t doubt the veracity of this information," Xiao Muli expressed his complete trust in Situ Xin. Moreover, after Old Master Xiao learned of his grandson’s feelings for Situ Xin, he hadn’t kept it hidden from him. Xiao Muli was well aware of everything about Situ Xin, including The Dark Division and the Dragon Society. Xiao Muli had gone from initial shock to calmness and began hastening his pace, trying to keep up with Situ Xin’s.

"Then what is it?" Situ Xin asked. Before she could finish her question, Old Master Xiao appeared with a cheerful smile: "Oh, Xiao Xin girl has come. Ah, it’s rare for you to come to Grandpa Xiao’s home. Please, have a seat, have a seat, you must stay and have dinner with the family today." Old Master Xiao was overjoyed to see that Situ Xin was visiting his grandson.

"Grandpa, you..." If it weren’t for Xiao Muli speaking up, Old Master Xiao might have completely forgotten his grandson.

"What’s the matter, Muli?" Old Master Xiao turned around and saw the paper in Xiao Muli’s hand. "What’s this?" Before Xiao Muli could react, Old Master Xiao snatched the paper from his hand.

Old Master Xiao had barely glanced at the paper when he was filled with rage at the contents. "This Xiao Yongxin really isn’t human, to desire the position of the Family Head so much that he’d attempt to take his nephew’s life. This is utterly depraved. No, I must call Great Grandpa Xiao and have a serious talk with him about this." If Xiao Yongxin were present at the moment, Old Master Xiao would’ve undoubtedly picked up a stick and beaten him without a second thought.

Situ Xin quickly grabbed the furious Old Master Xiao: "Ei, Grandpa Xiao, don’t get worked up just yet. We can’t alert the former Family Head of the Xiao Family about this situation now." Situ Xin didn’t want to disrupt Situ Muli’s plans.

Situ Muli was still awaiting the opportunity to settle the score with Xiu, and as his master, how could Situ Xin allow her subordinate’s chance for revenge to be spoiled? Moreover, Situ Xin didn’t believe that informing Elder Master Xiao over the phone would be of any use. "Grandpa Xiao, I can assure you that even if you make that call today, it won’t help at all. It would only tip them off." She didn’t believe that Elder Master Xiao would be unaware of his son’s actions. Even if he didn’t know now, once Old Master Xiao informed him, it was doubtful he’d intervene. If he wanted to stop it, he would have done so already.

"Grandpa, this matter concerns me, and I’d prefer you not to get involved. I’ll handle it myself," Xiao Muli interjected, having grown from a naive youth into a mature man.

He had been silent because he was contemplating how his plans had progressed and realizing that with this new development, he might need to move up his timeline. Since Xiao Yongxin was growing impatient, Muli didn’t mind hastening his removal from the position of Family Head of the Xiao Family.

Xiao Muli was rapidly considering how to adjust his plans in light of this unexpected change.

"You rascal, how could you speak like that? I’m your grandfather; how could I not be concerned with your affairs?" Old Master Xiao was so irritated by Xiao Muli’s words that his whiskers bristled.

"Grandpa, please don’t be angry. This is between me, the Xiao Family, and Xiao Yongxin. I don’t want my situation to cause a rift between you and Great Grandpa Xiao." This was the outcome Xiao Muli hoped to avoid at all costs; after all, his grandfather only had this one brother.

"You..." Old Master Xiao was left speechless by Xiao Muli’s words, the scolding he had intended to deliver swallowed back.

"Grandpa Xiao, Brother Muli, there’s no need for you two to argue. I came here today not only to relay this message but also to tell you that you don’t need to worry about the assassination attempt on Brother Muli by Xiao Yongxin. Someone will handle it," Situ Xin didn’t want the two to interfere when Situ Muli sought his revenge.

"Xiao Xin, you shouldn’t get involved in this either," Xiao Muli frowned. As a man, he felt it was his responsibility to handle his own issues and didn’t want his beloved woman to resolve them for him—it would make him seem useless.
