Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

Chapter 372 The Stingy Patriarch

"The next step, naturally, is to find out what's going on with the Tianxing tribe."

“Once we clarify the situation regarding the Tianxing Tribe, things will be much easier to handle later,” Xu Yao said.

The two had originally agreed to settle their business here and leave the next day.

As a result, when the two woke up the next day, Han Yi said to Xu Yao, "This Jiang Xin is really petty."

"What's going on?" Xu Yao had just woken up and didn't know what was happening.

At this moment, Han Yi said helplessly, "This Han Yi cut off our water supply and won't let us eat."

"This seems to be because of what happened yesterday."

Xu Yao laughed when he heard this: "This guy is really petty, but it doesn't matter."

"Let's go find him, that way we can have a good talk with Jiang Xin."

"Anyway, we came here this time not for anything else, but to teach this guy a lesson."

"Now is the perfect time, a great opportunity," Jiang Hao said cheerfully.

Seeing that Jiang Hao had said so, Han Yi followed along and went to find Jiang Xin.

When I met Jiang Xin, he was sitting in the living room, drinking tea with a cold expression.

His face still bore obvious marks from yesterday's beating, making him instantly recognizable as the dignified head of the Jiang family.

To be beaten up like this, isn't that really unacceptable?

At this moment, Xu Yao said directly, "Patriarch Jiang, you were telling us before that we could stay in the Jiang family with peace of mind."

“It’s only been a day, and you’ve already run out of water and food. Isn’t that a bit unreasonable?” Xu Yao said.

Han Yi then said, "Patriarch Jiang, if you really can't afford it, you can just say so. We can give you the money."

"Why did you do it this way?"

At this moment, Jiang Xin sneered, "Have you two simply forgotten what happened yesterday?"

“I, Jiang Xin, am being besieged by so many people, and my Jiang family is now completely surrounded by other sects.”

"I just want to know, do you really have the nerve to talk to me about this? I think you guys are really funny," Jiang Xin said.

Upon hearing Jiang Xin's words, Xu Yao also said, "I say, Patriarch Jiang, if you're going to talk like that..."

"Then we need to discuss this matter properly. Patriarch Jiang Xin, what were those sect representatives saying yesterday?"

"You're saying that your Jiang family stole treasures from other sects, is that right?" Xu Yao asked.

“You saw it too,” Jiang Xin said. “This has nothing to do with my Jiang family. How could I, Jiang Xin, do such a thing?”

"But, Patriarch Jiang, were these treasures found in your Jiang family yesterday by people from other sects?"

"Isn't this catching them red-handed?" Xu Yao asked.

"This..." Jiang Xin was also stumped by Xu Yao's question and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

At this moment, Jiang Xin's son, Jiang Yue, said, "This is clearly someone framing us. To be honest, although my Jiang family dares not say that we are a first-class family."

"But it's not worth doing something like this for some so-called junk. Don't you know that yourself?"

“Our Jiang family would never do such a thing, so you two don’t need to doubt it.”

After hearing Jiang Yue's words, Xu Yao said, "There's no point in you telling us this."

"Yes, I believe that Patriarch Jiang Xin would never do such a thing, but firstly, so many people saw it yesterday."

"They caught them red-handed, what are you expecting us to say? What were you expecting us to do given the circumstances?"

"Do you expect us to openly help you? We believe the Jiang family isn't thieves, but I'd like to ask you something back then."

"If it were Han Yi and me who encountered such a thing yesterday, and I wanted to know what Patriarch Jiang Xin would have done?"

"Would Patriarch Jiang Xin say, 'I believe Han Yi and Xu Yao are not thieves,' and then fight with everyone, especially when people from other sects are caught red-handed in my presence?" Xu Yao said.

Jiang Xin and his son Jiang Yue were speechless. In fact, they were not wrong about this matter.

Even if Jiang Xin and Jiang Yue wanted to refute it, to be honest, it was difficult to refute, and Jiang Xin himself knew this.

Xu Yao is right.

You said that under the circumstances yesterday, regardless of whether you were wronged or not, you were caught red-handed with these treasures.

If you say you're not a thief, who would believe you? It's embarrassing, just like Xu Yao said.

If it had been Xu Yao and Han Yi yesterday, what would I have done?

Because of this, Jiang Xin said, "That's true, but we are friends after all."

"At this crucial moment, this matter..."

"So that's why we've come to see Patriarch Jiang Xin today," Xu Yao said with a chuckle.

"Brother Xu Yao, what are your thoughts?" Jiang Xin asked directly.

At this moment, Xu Yaocai pointed to the door and said, "There are so many people outside now, and you can see them too."

"These people have surrounded your Jiang family. I've come here to speak with Patriarch Jiang Xin."

"I won't waste time with unnecessary words on this matter, but since I've already promised you, Patriarch..."

"Then I will definitely do it. You can rest assured this time. Leave this matter to me, and I will help Patriarch Jiang Xin get out of this predicament."

"Otherwise, it would be somewhat unfair to Patriarch Jiang Xin," Xu Yao said.

Originally, Jiang Xin was still unhappy, but after hearing Xu Yao's words, he immediately felt satisfied and said:

"Alright, I was wrong about Brother Xu Yao and Brother Han Yi in this matter. How about this?"

"I apologize for my previous neglect of you both. I will arrange for someone to make new arrangements for you immediately," Jiang Xin said cheerfully.

Xu Yaocai cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, Patriarch Jiang Xin."

After saying that, Xu Yao led Han Yi out of the living room and went back to their room.

After Xu Yao and Han Yi left, Jiang Xin's son, Jiang Yue, said with some distrust, "Father."

"Can these two be trusted? I don't think they can be trusted at all."

Jiang Xin said helplessly, "How could I not know? Although I can't trust these two, their cultivation level is not fake."

"I'm at my wit's end. What can we do now? We're surrounded by people from other sects."

"As for the inside, we can only rely on Xu Yao and Han Yi for help."
