"Hence, given the current situation, the Xiao clan's help is indispensable if we want to fight against the Ghost Sect."
Xiao Xuan pondered for a moment before continuing.
"We do not know the foundation of the Ghost Sect, but since it can surpass the three great clans, it is not difficult to imagine its strength. As for the Ghost Temple Sect, it is one of the four great factions in the Middle Region and naturally has no lack of Source Venerate level experts."
"Not only that, but they also have two Source Venerate level sect leaders."
Xiao Yan's face was dense. At the same time, his body trembled abruptly. A beautiful face that could cause the downfall of a country, carrying a thread of clear and elegant demeanor, slowly surfaced in his mind. No matter what, it could not be removed.
"Little Fairy Doctor …"
Xiao Xuan could not help but frown slightly upon seeing this. He recalled that he had indeed not seen the Little Fairy Doctor in the Ancient Hall. Now that he saw the expression on Xiao Yan's face, he immediately had a vague guess in his heart.
"In short, as of now, regardless of whether it is the Ghost Gate or the Ghost Slaughter Sect, their strength is sufficient to cause us to look up to them. Between us and them, it is just like fire and water. A true all-out battle is only a matter of time. Therefore, we must gather sufficient strength before that happens!"
"Joining the clan is undoubtedly the most effective method. Although you and some of the elders in the clan are prejudiced against each other, we are after all from the same clan. I believe that they will not stand by and do nothing when it comes to uniting against an external enemy."
The expression on Xiao Yan's face gradually relaxed after hearing Xiao Xuan's explanation. After panting for a moment, the killing intent in his chest also gradually calmed down. His eyes once again regained their clarity. He nodded slightly, looked directly at Xiao Xuan in front of him and softly said,
"Looks like ancestor is already prepared for this. I do not even have the slightest chance to reject these words."
Xiao Xuan could only smile in a non-committal manner upon hearing this. He understood Xiao Yan's character quite well. If he was not prepared, it was likely that the latter would not be willing to join the clan.
"After all, blood is thicker than water. We are ultimately from the same clan. It is reasonable for me to do this."
"If that's the case, I'll find a chance to join the clan too."
Xiao Yan smiled and nodded. Although he did not have a good impression of the Xiao clan, he had to join the Xiao clan for Xiao Xuan, Xun Er and … the Little Fairy Doctor.
"Haha, that's good too. After today's incident, I'm sure the Patriarch's side will also make a move. It won't be long."
Xiao Xuan stood up with a smile. At the same time, he let out a long sigh of relief and relaxed a lot.
Quickly following this, however, Xiao Yan's eyebrows suddenly turned. He appeared to have recalled something as he raised his eyebrows and exclaimed.
"Oh right, Bai Hua and Lian 'er are still outside."
The two of them were so focused on talking about the Xiao Clan that they forgot about Bai Hua and her companion who were blocked by Xiao Li outside the Ancient City Hall. Now that the matter had come to an end, Xiao Yan suddenly thought of the two of them, but he didn't know how they were doing now.
"Haha, don't worry. Although Elder Li did not allow them to enter the inner clan, there will be people who will arrange accommodation for them outside the Ancient City Hall. You don't have to worry about this."
Xiao Xuan smiled and gestured to Xiao Yan to be at ease. The latter secretly heaved a sigh of relief. But in the next moment, the grandfather and grandson looked at the courtyard outside the door. At this moment, a few figures were hurriedly rushing over in front of the courtyard. The person in front was an elder. Looking at his status, he should be an elder in the Xiao clan. However, there were two young people following closely behind him. Xiao Yan looked over and saw that they were Bai Hua and Lian 'er.
Seeing this scene, the two of them immediately raised their eyebrows. It was really a coincidence. They did not expect that they would arrive here just as they spoke.
Xiao Yan and Lian 'er quickly looked at each other when they saw the three people walking over. Then, they quickly stepped forward to welcome them. The elder immediately smiled when he saw this.
"Haha, Elder Xiao Xuan, I have been instructed by Elder Li to send these two to you."
Bai Hua and Lian 'er quickly moved to Xiao Yan's side as he spoke. Then, they looked at the elder in front of them and quickly bowed to thank him.
"Thank you, Elder!"
Xiao Xuan's eyes swept across Bai Hua and Lian 'er. Then, he quickly looked at the elder in front of him. He did not dare to slight him and immediately cupped his hands together to thank him. However, he frowned in the next moment and suddenly lifted his head. His eyes were filled with disbelief as he stared at the elder in front of him.
He said in a strange voice, "Elder Tang, you just said …"
"Haha, you did not hear wrongly. From today onwards, you will be the inner sect elder of the Xiao clan. In the future, I will have to rely on you."
The elder laughed softly when he saw the strange expression on Xiao Xuan's face. Then, he said in a mocking tone.
At the same time, a surprised expression surfaced on Xiao Xuan's face. Although he had already expected the result of his battle with Xiao Feng, he did not expect it to lead to such an outcome.
There was never a lack of elder positions in the Xiao Clan. Across the entire Xiao Clan, there were at least a hundred people who held the position of elder. However, these people only held the position in name. They didn't wield any power or benefits. Among these elders, there were also the inner pavilion elders. These people were the true managers of the Xiao Clan.
Xiao Xuan did not expect that his battle would raise his status to such a level.
"Hu …"
Xiao Xuan's heart did not rejoice because of this. Instead, he felt an invisible pressure. After all, regardless of whether it was his status or identity, he would not be welcomed by anyone in the clan. Adding Xiao Yan, it was likely that they would face even greater trouble in the clan in the future.
"In addition, young friend Xiao Yan, the clan leader has specially instructed that from today onwards, you will be treated the same as the Crown Prince in the clan. Tomorrow, the clan will set up a separate residence for the two of you. Someone will also send the monthly allowance to the two of you."
The old man sized up Xiao Yan in front of him. At the same time that a glint flashed deep within his old eyes, the smile on his old face also became denser.
"Thank you, Elder!"
"Haha, young friend, you are too polite. I am Xiao Qingtang. If you need anything in the future, feel free to look for me. As long as it is within my ability, I will not be stingy."
The elder cupped his fists together politely. After a chuckle, he did not stay any longer. He turned around and walked out of the door. In the end, he disappeared from the sight of Xiao Yan and the others.
Xiao Yan clapped his hands as he watched Xiao Qingtang leave. He smiled and said to Bai Hua and the other girl beside him.
"Are the two of you alright?"
The two of them smiled and shook their heads. After confirming that they were fine, they followed Xiao Xuan's guidance and found a room to rest in.
