Inside the room, Bai Xiao Qi had a suspicious look on her face. She couldn't understand why her identity as the Clan Leader had changed.
"You."
Ling Xian smiled helplessly, "Think about it. If your identity as the Clan Leader is useless, then why did assassins appear the moment you stepped off the boat? It is obvious that your existence is a threat. This is why your Second Uncle sent people to kill you. "
"But, he has already taken the seat of the Clan Leader. My identity should be useless." Bai Xiao Qi frowned, still confused.
"You are far too dumb."
Ling Xian shook his head helplessly. After a moment of silence, he analyzed, "It is obvious. Even though your Second Uncle has taken the seat of the Clan Leader, he has no legitimate reason to do so. He is a traitor. Based on my speculation, there are many older generations who don't like him. They are only following him because of his power. "
"You, on the other hand, are the rightful Clan Leader. As long as you show up at the Bai Clan and have enough capabilities to fight against your Second Uncle, I believe those who respect tradition will choose to stand on your side. Plus, I believe your father is not a simple character. He has a backup plan. "
The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up. His eyes flickered with intelligence.
His analysis was not bad. Though it was slightly off from the truth, it was about 70% to 80% accurate.
"Xian Ling, you sure are smart." Bai Xiao Qi's eyes were getting brighter and brighter. Facing the uncertain future, she suddenly felt more confident.
Naturally, this was all thanks to the intelligent young man in front of him.
"It's not that I am smart, it's that you are too dumb." Ling Xian softly grinned. He didn't think much of himself.
However, to Bai Xiao Qi, he was extremely smart. She said enviously, "To be able to analyze so many things from such a small detail is not something normal people can do. Xian Ling, if only I was half as smart as you. "
"As you grow up and mature, you will be able to do the same."
Ling Xian skimmed over this topic, "Let's get back to the topic at hand. Though the danger we face will not lessen, it will only get more and more dangerous. But, as long as you hold up the flag of righteousness, it will make things easier for us. "
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Bai Xiao Qi nodded obediently. She didn't pay attention to what Ling Xian said. All her attention was focused on the word "we".
"Since ancient times, which of the emperors did not stand on the moral high ground under the banner of serving the common people? Now that you have the identity of the successor, you will be the next clan leader of the Bai family. This is undoubtedly a lot more convenient. " Ling Xian had a faint smile on his lips. Though his heart was still weighed down by a giant rock, he was, without a doubt, more relaxed than before.
However, he still didn't dare to be careless. He had to be 120% vigilant. After all, even though Bai Xiao Qi had the moral high ground, if he did not have the ability to fight against the Second Elder of the Bai Clan, he would be killed.
Moreover, there was the shadow of the mysterious sect behind the second master of the Bai family.
Therefore, Ling Xian still felt stressed and was very worried about the future.
Bai Xiao Qi seemed to have thought of this as well. She could not hide the worry on her face.
Seeing this, Ling Xian grinned, "Okay, there's no point in worrying. Though we are in a dangerous situation, we are not falling into darkness. There is still a way out."
Then, he slowly stood up and walked out the door, leaving behind only one statement that echoed in the room.
"Let's go. We will stay near the Bai Clan and wait for an opportunity to strike."
Hearing this, Bai Xiao Qi quickly marched forward. Like a obedient follower, she followed closely behind Ling Xian.
Just like that, the two of them walked down the stairs and decided to head to the Bai Clan first. They will gather information while waiting for an opportunity to strike.
When Ling Xian's gaze landed on the east wall of the inn, he was a little startled.
There was a spiritual paper stuck there. Many cultivators were gathered around it. Everyone was excited and discussing the content of the paper.
"The Yan Clan's protective array is broken? That can't be. Other than what happened to the Bai Clan, nobody attacked the Yan Clan. "
"You don't know about this. The Yan Clan's protective array has existed since the ancient times. Due to the lack of maintenance, it has lost most of its power. I think it is on the verge of being destroyed. That's why they have to ask for help. "
"I cannot believe one of the five controlling Clans, the Yan Clan, would put up a notice asking for help from outsiders. Interesting."
"Based on what I know, the Yan Clan's Master is Master Jiang Cheng Zi. The Yan Clan shouldn't be asking for help from outsiders. Could it be that Master Jiang cannot fix it?"
"That's most likely the case. Or else the Yan Clan wouldn't be so shameless as to put up a notice asking for help from outsiders. Furthermore, he even promised such a generous reward. I'm really tempted. "
"Even if you are tempted, it's none of your business. Even the famous Master Jiang cannot do anything. In the entire 36 islands, who can?"
"Yeah, Master Jiang has been famous for a long time. He is a true grandmaster of arrays. If he cannot fix an array, then how hard would it be to fix it? I think the Yan Clan is going to be disappointed this time. Nobody can fix it. "
Listening to the discussions around him, Ling Xian understood the content of the spiritual paper. He couldn't help but to reveal a faint smile. He muttered to himself, "This is God's will. It looks like I have to pay a visit to the Yan Clan."
"You want to go to the Yan Clan?" Bai Xiao Qi raised an eyebrow.
"That's right. Coincidentally, the Yan Clan is in trouble. If we go now, we might be able to find ourselves an ally." Ling Xian grinned, thinking that this plan was very feasible. He really could gain an ally.
From their conversations, he learned that the protective array was very important to the Yan Clan. If he can fix it, then he will gain the gratitude of the entire Yan Clan.
Therefore, even if the Yan Clan doesn't openly help Ling Xian, they can still help him in the dark. He can also use this opportunity to request to visit the Yan Clan ancestor's grave. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?
The more Ling Xian thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. His eyes shone brighter and brighter.
Bai Xiao Qi thought about it as well, but she didn't think it would work. She rolled her eyes at Ling Xian and mumbled, "Stop joking. Even Master Jiang cannot fix this array. Do you think you can?"
"Whether or not it can be fixed, you will find out when the time comes."
The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up. His handsome face was full of confidence, "I've decided. I will go to the Yan Clan first. If we can form an alliance, then the road ahead will be much easier."
"Pfft, you speak as if you can really fix it." Bai Xiao Qi pouted and mumbled, "Whatever. It's useless to go to the Bai Clan right now. I will listen to you."
"If you don't listen to me, then I won't care about you anymore." The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up. Under Bai Xiao Qi's angry gaze, he laughed and walked forward, leaving behind an unquestionable statement.
"Let's go. Our destination … the Yan Clan!"
