Mu Yao was worried that, because of his personality, conduct, and other reasons,
his eldest brother might suffer a disadvantage if he went alone to reason with those Hawk Faction Elders.
Something even worse might happen.
That was why he insisted on taking people with him.
However, upon hearing Mu Yao's words, Mu Xiao immediately shot him a meaningful glare.
Then, Mu Xiao's gaze swept across the faces of the other Elders and commanders who had risen to their feet.
His expression softened slightly.
He gave a faint nod.
"I know exactly what you want to say."
"But there's no need for you to be overly nervous or worried."
"I'm merely moving about within my own shelter, going to communicate with my own brothers and sisters."
"Why is everyone so tense?"
"Sit down. Just wait here peacefully!"
"You too, Mu Yao."
"You're not a young man anymore. Stop being so rash and impetuous like one!"
"I was even thinking that, after some time, I'd hand over the shelter's main affairs to you..."
Mu Xiao looked at Mu Yao and gently patted him on the shoulder.
Yet those words made Mu Yao's heart skip a beat.
An inexplicable sense of foreboding immediately rose within him.
He stared at Mu Xiao in astonishment.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something more.
But Mu Xiao had already strode toward the door.
"Big Brother..."
Mu Yao frowned deeply.
Then he suddenly came to his senses, anger flaring in his heart.
Mu Xiao had ultimately refused to heed his advice.
He said Mu Yao behaved like a child, like a hot-blooded young man.
But wasn't Mu Xiao himself the same?
Whenever it came to important matters, emotion always outweighed reason.
Yet he failed to understand that human nature was the hardest thing to predict.
