"Grandfather, from that girl's actions earlier, it is obvious that she has a guilty conscience. As long as we can prove that the jade token does not belong to the first elder, then Xiao Yan …"
"There is no need …"
Xiao Jinghong and Xiao Tian were slowly walking on a wide street. Their turbid old eyes casually swept over the young clan members who were respectfully greeting them. Xiao Jinghong slowly shook his head when he heard Xiao Tian's words and replied indifferently.
A suspicious expression involuntarily appeared on Xiao Tian's face when he heard this. Before Xiao Tian could ask, the former quickly opened his mouth and said,
"That jade token does not belong to the first elder. I was already aware of this from her reaction when she heard my words. However, the one who can truly stop us is not her."
"Not Ling 'er? Then could it be … "
Xiao Tian seemed to have understood something when Xiao Jinghong's words were spoken. Within the Xiao clan, there were only a few people who could cause this inner pavilion leader to back off.
The former did not explain any further in response. Instead, he slowly stopped and his turbid eyes once again landed on Xiao Tian. His tone changed as he said,
"Tian 'er, what do you think about the fight with Xiao Yan earlier?"
"Uh …"
Xiao Tian was at a loss when Xiao Jinghong suddenly asked this question. He mused for a moment before replying truthfully, "He is very strong.
At the very least, I am no match for him in terms of attributes. A Heavenly Flame … is really too frightening! "
In the past, Xiao Tian might have underestimated this kind of thing that only existed in legends. However, after the clash with Xiao Yan earlier, he completely understood how frightening a Heavenly Flame was!
Who would not be afraid of the strongest energy in the world!
"What if we disregard the Heavenly Flame?"
Xiao Jinghong gently nodded and asked again.
This time, the expression on Xiao Tian's face involuntarily tightened. His brows were tightly knit together as his eyes stared at the empty space in front of him. The arrogant aura that Xiao Yan had displayed earlier once again surfaced in his mind. After a dozen breaths, he finally spoke in a solemn tone.
"He's definitely the strongest Two-Star Origin Sect expert I've ever seen. If Xiao Chuhang is compared to him, then even ten of him wouldn't be able to compare to him … Even though I don't want to admit it, this is the truth."
Because of his grandfather, even though Xiao Tian did not have a good impression of Xiao Yan, he did not quibble about the truth that he had experienced. A loss was a loss. There was no point in quibbling.
Xiao Jinghong raised his eyebrows in some surprise when he heard this. He was naturally aware of his grandson's arrogance. Although his grandson's cultivation had yet to step into the Origin Ancestor class, his combat strength was not inferior to a two-star Origin Ancestor. The number of people in the current clan who could defeat him could be counted with one's fingers. However, he was able to have such a high evaluation of Xiao Yan, whom he had met for the first time. This was sufficient to see how powerful Xiao Yan's cultivation was.
Xiao Jinghong could not help but feel a little curious about Xiao Yan when he thought of this in his heart. Even though he still did not acknowledge Xiao Yan's identity as a member of the Xiao clan until now, his powerful combat strength was sufficient to cause him to have a whole new level of respect for Xiao Yan. Of course, whether Xiao Yan had the qualifications to join the clan was another matter.
At the same time, in front of the Inner Sky Pavilion, Xiao Linger also resentfully withdrew the jade tablet that she was tightly clenching in her jade-like hands. She secretly sighed in relief in her heart. While the expression on her pretty face relaxed, her pretty eyes once again looked at Xiao Yan beside her. Her expression changed as she playfully laughed.
"Remember, you owe me a favor."
Xiao Yan smiled. A mocking expression flashed across his pitch-black eyes. Immediately, his face became serious as he said, "Isn't that the jade tablet's owner's possession?
"Isn't that jade pendant the Grand Elder's? If anything, it should be the Grand Elder's favor. Why …"
"Alright, if you don't want to enter the Inner Sky Pavilion, you can take it that way. I will call them back now."
The young lady immediately curled her lips coldly when she heard this. She turned around and was about to leave. Xiao Yan was speechless. He hurriedly pulled her back and bitterly laughed.
"I admit defeat. I must enter the Inner Sky Pavilion."
"What about the favor?"
The young lady immediately smiled. Her pretty face was filled with a victorious expression. The loss that she had suffered at the hands of Xiao Yan the day before yesterday could be considered to have been repaid.
"The favor is naturally yours. This should be fine, right?"
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he shook his head. Xiao Yan's face was filled with helplessness. This girl really held a grudge.
Hearing this, the young lady chuckled. Then, she led the way and walked straight to the entrance of the Inner Sky Pavilion. Xiao Yan, on the other hand, hesitated for a moment. His gaze inexplicably swept across the sky above his head. After that, he slightly bowed towards a certain direction before following closely behind.
When the two of them arrived in front of the Inner Sky Pavilion and looked at the half-opened door, Xiao Yan slowly let out a sigh of relief. His mood also relaxed a little.
"Alright, you can go in. Remember that you owe me a favor."
The young lady stopped and gently waved her hand, indicating for Xiao Yan to enter.
"What, you're not going in?"
Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing suspicion in his eyes. However, the young lady shook her head and said,
"There are rules in the Inner Sky Pavilion. Unless there is permission, or there is a grand occasion in the clan, no one is allowed to enter."
"So that's how it is."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyes flashed. He couldn't help but think of the scene when Xiao Tian made a move earlier. That guy was indeed in a hurry. At this moment, when he connected it with Ling 'er's words, it turned out that he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to stop him after entering the Inner Sky Pavilion.
After thinking through this point, Xiao Yan no longer hesitated. At the same time, he pushed open the door in front of him and stepped in. The originally bright line of sight in front of him suddenly darkened at this moment. It was as if there was a special power sweeping across his body. Everything about him seemed to be completely exposed under this power.
Just as Xiao Yan was secretly surprised in his heart, the voice of the young lady outside the door sounded again.
"Remember my favor. After you come out, I want you to do something for me!"
"Okay, I promise you. Also …"
Turning his head to look at the door that was about to close and the delicate figure that was about to be isolated, Xiao Yan slowly smiled and said,
"The matter of your jade token can't be hidden from Xiao Jinghong."
After these words were spoken, the door of the Inner Sky Pavilion was tightly shut. The expression on the face of the young lady outside the door suddenly froze when she heard these words.
At the same time, in the back mountain of the Xiao clan, the old man who was seated faintly smiled. He looked at a cup of tea that was placed on a flat green rock in front of him. His eyes were filled with a special charm. If one were to look carefully, one would discover that the scene reflected by the tea in the cup was currently outside the Inner Sky Pavilion.
The moment the door of the Inner Sky Pavilion was tightly shut, an ancient and desolate aura came rushing over. This caused Xiao Yan to hurriedly focus his attention. He didn't dare to have any other thoughts.
After a few breaths, Xiao Yan finally inhaled a deep breath. He lifted his head and scanned the scene in front of him.
