Under the starlight, Xiao Yan sat cross-legged in front of a green rock in a mountain forest. An old man sat opposite him. Not far away, there was a delicate figure squatting on the ground in boredom. Two white jade-like hands were supporting her delicate chin. Her quick-witted eyes would occasionally sweep back and forth between the two people in front of her. When she looked at Xiao Yan, she could not help but softly spit a few words. Regarding this, the two people in front of her treated it as nothing.
"Haha, this girl is indeed a little unruly. Even her father can't do anything about it. Don't take the matter from before to heart."
Xiao Zhen smiled as he looked at Xiao Yan, who was sitting upright, and said with a smile.
The old man's smiling appearance was very different from the slightly shocking appearance from before. His white hair appeared like a waterfall under the silver moon. A pair of deep eyes emitted a bright light in the night. The pitch-black pupils seemed to be able to see through the world, causing people to feel a sense of awe.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan hurriedly shook his head with a smile and said,
"First Elder is too serious."
The old man smiled and nodded. On the other hand, the little girl at the side had an unforgiving expression as she snorted,
"Hmph, if he dares to bully me, I'll tell my father to chase him out of the clan."
When these words came out, Xiao Yan was instantly speechless. His gaze looked at Xiao Zhen, who was opposite him, and revealed a strange expression. Isn't this girl a little too arrogant? Although her cultivation talent is not bad, her temper is a little too much.
"Haha, don't mind it. Although the clan leader is spoiling her, it is not to that extent. If this girl goes overboard in the future, it is reasonable for her to be taught a lesson."
Xiao Zhen fondled his beard and smiled. Xiao Yan, on the other hand, nearly choked when he heard these words. Only then did he understand in his heart that this girl was actually the daughter of the clan leader, Xiao Yuheng. No wonder she was so unruly and willful.
"Pfft …"
Seeing the change in Xiao Yan's expression, the girl could not help but laugh. Her pair of beautiful eyes revealed some pride.
"Remember, this Young Lady is called Xiao Linger. If you dare bully me again, I'll ask the Patriarch to deal with you!"
Xiao Ling`er raised her head and pouted at Xiao Yan as if she was showing off. However, Xiao Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Who would have thought that this girl, who looked a little crazy, was actually the daughter of the Xiao clan leader?
Xiao Zhen still had a warm expression on his face as he continued.
"Other than wanting to meet you, I also want to hear a clear answer from you. Are you willing to join the Xiao Clan?"
After recovering from his shock, Xiao Yan heard Xiao Zhen's words and hesitated a little. He glanced at Xiao Linger, who had a curious expression on her face, and said with a smile,
"As long as the Clan Leader doesn't chase me out of the clan, I will forever be a member of the Xiao Clan."
As soon as these words came out, the girl's pair of beautiful eyes suddenly burst out with ferocity. However, the old man had a satisfied expression and laughed a few times. He nodded and said,
"In that case, this old man can be at ease. In the future, if you have any needs in the clan, you can ask the Clan Leader and me. If we can satisfy your needs, we won't be stingy."
Xiao Yan nodded respectfully. The old man pondered for a while before continuing, "As for Xiao Xiao, you don't have to worry about him.
"As for Xiao Feng, I hope that you won't take it to heart. What you saw wasn't his true nature. It's just that … he values his younger brother too much …"
"It's just a spar. Xiao Yan naturally won't mind."
Hearing this, the old man could not help but praise. Such a temperament was definitely top-notch among the younger generation. Thinking of this, Xiao Zhen could not help but turn his head to look at the girl by the side again. He laughed mockingly,
"Ling Er, Xiao Yan's temperament is worth imitating."
Ling Er ignored the old man's mockery. Instead, she made a funny face at Xiao Yan. After that, she turned around and ignored the two of them. Xiao Yan smiled. He had a better impression of this slightly mischievous girl in front of him.
"Also, regarding the clan meeting, I wonder what your thoughts are?"
Xiao Yan changed the topic. At the same time, Ling Er also turned her head slightly and looked at Xiao Yan from the corner of her eyes. She seemed to be waiting for his reply.
"Great Elder, don't worry. The clan meeting is a grand occasion of the clan. Xiao Yan naturally won't be absent."
Xiao Yan smiled. His words had already placed himself in the position of a member of the Xiao Clan. This caused the smile on Xiao Zhen's face to become even wider.
"Yes, it's naturally a good thing that you are willing to participate in the clan meeting. However, before that, this old man has to remind you of something."
"Xiao Yan is all ears."
He cupped his hands respectfully towards the old man in front of him. The old man nodded and smiled. Soon after, he frowned and slowly said,
"Although you and Xiao Xuan have both entered the clan, only the clan leader and a portion of the elders in the clan can truly acknowledge you. The rest of the people have some reservations about your identities. Therefore, you will face some obstructions in the clan meeting this time, and it won't be easy. Although Xiao Xuan has proven his strength to the entire clan in his battle with Xiao Feng, but …"
At this point, the great elder could not help but pause. His gaze met Xiao Yan's for a few seconds. When he saw that the latter did not have any emotions, he sighed helplessly and continued speaking.
"Sigh … but he is still the Origin Emperor. This is an indisputable fact. If you want to obtain the clan's acknowledgement and shut their mouths, you have to personally prove it to them with your strength. Otherwise, even if the clan leader appears, he may not be able to achieve any results."
Xiao Yan was silent when he heard this. He nodded slightly and roughly remembered these words in his heart.
In this way, even if he was willing to join the Xiao clan, it would not be easy for him to obtain a place here.
"Since all of you want to prove it, I will use this clan meeting to tell all of you the answer!"
Xiao Yan inhaled a deep breath of air. A sharp glint flashed across his dark black eyes. A fiery hot emotion surged within his chest. A silent explosive cry did not disappear from the bottom of his heart for a long time.
"Ke ke, since you are confident, this old man will not worry too much. Additionally, there is a place that I hope you can make a trip to when you have the time. That place has something that can help you raise your strength."
The old man nodded. The words that followed caused Xiao Yan to raise his eyebrows slightly.
"The Inner Sky Pavilion. Most of the clan's Qi Methods and Dou Skills are stored there. There is a scroll called the Fire God's Fury. Together with the Wind God's Fury and the Lightning God's Fury, they are known as the three Fury Gods of our Xiao clan. This can be considered the greatest help this old man can give you in participating in the clan meeting."
Xiao Yan's eyes immediately brightened when these words were uttered. He had personally experienced the might of the Wind God's Fury. Naturally, he was able to understand the strength of that Dou Skill. It was likely that it belonged to the high tier even among the Yi class Dou Skills. Since this so called Fire God's Fury was equally famous as it, it was naturally not difficult to imagine how strong it was. If he was able to master this Fire God's Fury, it might become another great trump card of his!
Xiao Yan slowly stood up when the moon was high in the sky. After chatting for a long time with the old man in front of him, he had gained a greater understanding of the Xiao clan and the other factions in the Middle Region. Although it was already halfway through the night, he still had a refreshed appearance. On the other hand, Xiao Linger had a sleepy appearance. How could she have noticed what they were chatting about?
"Thank you, First Elder, for your guidance today. Xiao Yan will take his leave now!"
"Ke ke, go ahead. You can come and find this old man if you need anything."
The old man smiled and nodded. Xiao Yan replied. He glanced at the sleepy Xiao Linger before turning around and swiftly walking back the way he had come.
