Following the unusual change of the medicinal pill back then, nearly two days had passed. During these two days, Xiao Yan's figure had been sitting cross-legged within the ruins with his eyes tightly shut. He appeared just like an old monk meditating. His aura had already completely recovered with the help of the medicinal pill. His face was completely calm and one could not see any abnormality.
Xiao Xuan was a little helpless in the face of this. All he could do was patiently wait for Xiao Yan to wake up. Before Xiao Yan woke up, the nearby area had been sealed with the help of a formation. No one was allowed to approach. Hence, even some of the busybodies within the Xiao clan could only bitterly withdraw their thoughts and observe the situation within the formation from a distance.
"Will he be alright?"
Lian 'er frowned at the top of the half-collapsed building within the formation. Her beautiful eyes were filled with worry as she stared at Xiao Yan, who was seated with his eyes closed, in the ruins below. Her hand unconsciously grasped a strand of hair as she asked hesitantly.
Xiao Xuan slowly shook his head when he heard this.
"Given the current situation, no one can determine what is going on in his heart. We can only pray that he doesn't fall too deeply into it."
Ever since the death of the Little Fairy Doctor and now that Bai Hua was seriously injured, the few relatives and friends that Xiao Yan had on this foreign continent were currently leaving him one by one. The emotions that he had to bear during this process could be said to be incomparably heavy. It was impossible for him to be completely unconcerned. However, at the very least, Xiao Yan did not completely lose his reasoning even under such circumstances. Otherwise, the current situation would likely cause others to be even more worried.
Lian Er's pretty eyes looked at the skinny figure below. The back of her teeth bit her lower red lip. Although she did not have a deep understanding of Xiao Yan, she had heard of many things from his teacher, the Little Fairy Doctor. She was also clearly aware of the special relationship between the two of them, which was neither close nor distant. Now that the former was no longer around and Xiao Yan had once again encountered such an unexpected change, she naturally could not bear it.
"Go if you want to. It's good that someone is by his side. Don't disturb him."
Xiao Xuan gently smiled when he saw the young lady's wish. His hand gently rubbed the young lady's head as he softly reminded her.
The young lady's heart immediately rejoiced when she heard this. Her eyes were filled with gratitude as she nodded at Xiao Xuan. Her delicate body moved and leaped down from the top of the building. After which, her delicate body gently landed on a flat ground not far from Xiao Yan. Her gaze was a little nervous as she slowly approached Xiao Yan. When she arrived in front of him, she finally sighed in relief when she saw that the latter did not make any unusual movements.
"Boom!"
However, in the next instant, before Lian Er could do anything else, the enormous formation that enveloped the entire courtyard suddenly trembled violently. At the same time, the expressions of Xiao Xuan and Lian Er, who were within the formation, changed. Their gazes landed on the origin of the sound in the blink of an eye. At the same time, a cracking sound was gradually emitted from the formation barrier.
"Xiao Yan! Come out! "
Outside the formation barrier that was on the verge of shattering, Zhao Jin placed one hand on the light barrier while his other hand was raised high. Without waiting for anyone to advise him, he suddenly threw a heavy punch downwards. With a bang, the huge formation that enveloped the courtyard exploded with a bang.
Zhao Jin's cold gaze immediately swept towards Xiao Yan, who was seated in the middle of the courtyard, after the formation shattered. He coldly snorted and strode towards the latter. His icy voice was once again emitted.
"Xiao Yan, you actually dare to not stand up to welcome an Inner Sect Elder who has personally come!"
"Stop right there!"
At this moment, an air splitting sound suddenly appeared in the sky. Soon after, Xiao Xuan's figure took the lead to block Zhao Jin. Lian 'er quickly rushed over from beside him. The expression on her pretty face immediately became grave. She naturally recognized Zhao Jin and was well aware of how terrifying the latter was. A bad premonition rose in the young lady's heart the moment she saw him.
Xiao Xuan frowned as he looked at the person in front of him. Compared to Lian 'er, he was naturally more aware of Zhao Jin's strength and character. Since this fellow dared to act so overbearingly in the Xiao clan today, it was likely that he had come prepared.
"You are Xiao Xuan?"
Even with Zhao Jin's strength, he could not help but be a little surprised as he looked at the figure in front of him who was as tall as a sword. Although this person's cultivation was not as high as Origin Zong's, his aura was even inferior to an Origin Venerate like him. It was truly shocking.
"Leave the courtyard."
Since he knew that Zhao Jin had come with ill intentions, Xiao Xuan naturally did not show any unnecessary courtesy. His straightforward words had already expressed his attitude. At the same time, an invisible hurricane suddenly condensed in the sky above his head. In the blink of an eye, it turned into an unparalleled sword Qi that roared between heaven and earth, causing the expressions of everyone present to change.
"In recent years, I often heard that there was a person called Xiao Xuan in the clan, but unfortunately, I never had the chance to see him. Now that I have seen him today, he is indeed … only a peak Origin Emperor!"
Zhao Jin's gaze swept over the sword Qi above Xiao Xuan's head in an undetectable manner as he sneered. Although the person in front of him had an extraordinary aura, he was ultimately just an Origin Emperor. There was no need to take him to heart.
As soon as Zhao Jin's words left his mouth, anger immediately surfaced on Lian 'er's pretty face. Xiao Xuan, on the other hand, did not care at all.
He pulled the girl behind him and said, "Leave the courtyard yourself, or I will chase you out."
"Haha, there are very few people who have your courage. However, the one who wants to see Xiao Yan today is not me, but a cabinet elder."
Zhao Jin laughed heartily. Soon after, he unhurriedly stepped aside. At the same time, the crowd that had gathered behind him swiftly scattered like flowing water. Everyone's eyes swiftly gathered together. Immediately, a couple of exclamations were emitted from the arena.
Xiao Xuan's gaze followed the crowd. An old man with a slightly gloomy expression and shriveled lips slowly walked over from the crowd. Everyone who saw this old man revealed a respectful expression. Even Zhao Jin, who was still arrogant a moment ago, revealed a humble smile at this moment.
This person was the head of the three cabinet elders of the Xiao clan. He was also the person who had the highest voice in the entire Xiao clan against Xiao Yan and his grandson staying behind, Xiao Dingtian!
"Elder."
Seeing this person, even with Xiao Xuan's temperament, he still bowed to him.
With this person's status, everyone in the clan, except for the clan leader, could be said to be a person who could cover the sky with one hand. Even though they did not have a harmonious relationship, they had to treat him with respect due to the rules and etiquette.
"Xiao Xuan, bring Xiao Yan to see this old man."
Ignoring Xiao Xuan's attitude, Xiao Dingtian ordered indifferently. However, his words were filled with an inviolable meaning.
