Chapter 47: Visitors from the Imperial Capital

~7 min read 1,237 words

Today is already the fifteenth day since the Jiwei Hall opened for business, and there are more patients coming and going than before.

A person dressed in rather luxurious clothing ran in in a flustered hurry, shouting as soon as they entered the door: "Is Young Clan Leader Xiao Yan here?"

Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor raised her head, offered an apologetic word to the patient beside her, and said to the newcomer: "Third Elder, Xiao Yan is inside. Has something happened?"

At this moment, Xiao Yan was inside the room brewing medicine for a patient. Hearing a familiar voice calling him from outside, he left a sliver of his consciousness to continue tending to the medicine pot and walked out of the decoction room.

"Third Elder? Why have you come?" Xiao Yan asked with some curiosity, though seeing the Third Elder's anxious appearance, he could roughly guess what it was about.

Sure enough, he only heard the Third Elder say quickly: "Young Clan Leader, I've finally found you! Someone from the Imperial Capital has arrived; it is someone from the Imperial Family, and they are a Dou Ling! I don't know exactly what star they are, but they are very strong. The Clan Leader and the First Elder are currently entertaining them in the Xiao Clan's main hall!"

"Someone from the Imperial Family? Is it a direct descendant?" Xiao Yan was somewhat surprised. Speaking of which, other than Jia Xing Tian and Jia Yao Yue, he really didn't know anyone else from the direct line of the Jia Ma Empire! However, he knew that a vast Imperial Family couldn't possibly consist of only these two people, so he was a bit curious about who had come.

"Yes, the person who came is the Jia Ma Empire's number one powerhouse, a nine-star Battle Emperor at the peak, the Imperial Family's guardian, Lord Jia Xing Tian's nephew, Jia Tianyu!" The Third Elder answered Xiao Yan's question with a long string of descriptors.

"Uh—wouldn't it have been better to just say the name? You made me almost think that Jia Xing Tian had come!" Xiao Yan said, feeling somewhat speechless.

"How could that be? The person who came is a Dou Ling! A Dou Ling! Do you have any idea!" the Third Elder said with an excited face.

Xiao Yan thought to himself, so what if it's a Dou Ling? I've even killed one! I haven't seen you brag about me like this!

"Alright, let's go quickly; Father and the others are probably waiting anxiously," Xiao Yan said.

"Oh! Right, right, right, I almost forgot, let's go quickly!" The Third Elder patted his head, finally remembering the important business, and pulled Xiao Yan's arm as they walked outside.

"Hey, wait a moment!" Xiao Yan stood in place, pulled the Third Elder to a stop as well, and said: "You stay here first and help Xian'er brew some medicine."

"What?" The Third Elder couldn't believe his ears and pointed at himself with his finger: "Me? Brewing medicine? Here?"

"That's right," Xiao Yan nodded and said as if it were a matter of course: "This place is still open for business! Look over there."

Xiao Yan pointed his finger at the long line that had formed, and the unrelated people present finally came back to their senses.

The amount of information just now was truly too great; things like the Imperial Family, Battle Spirit, and Battle Emperor all came running out as if they were worthless! Speaking of which, according to what they just meant, wouldn't this be the Third Elder and the Young Clan Leader of the Xiao Clan, who actually rule Wutan City today? My god!

The Third Elder naturally saw these people too. Although he didn't care much about them, he didn't dare to directly refute, and said with some difficulty: "This—Young Clan Leader, the Clan Leader and the honored guest are still waiting for me to return!"

"Oh, you don't need to worry about that; I will explain for you. I believe they will understand. Let's just do it this way." Xiao Yan decided directly, leaving no room for the Third Elder to continue questioning, and then said to Little Fairy Doctor: "Xian'er, I'll leave this side to you; I'm heading back to the clan first."

"Mm, alright, you go back first," Little Fairy Doctor smiled understandingly and said: "Be careful this time, don't just act on impulse and—."

"Rest assured, I know!" Xiao Yan gave a 'don't worry' smile, then tossed the unwilling Third Elder into the decoction room and turned to quickly rush toward the direction of the Xiao Clan.

After Xiao Yan left, Little Fairy Doctor looked at the crowd, who were looking at each other in dismay and acting constrained, and said: "Alright, don't worry about these things, let's just continue seeing patients."

After finishing, she waved her hand as if to encourage them, but still, no one dared to move. It would have been fine if they didn't know, but now that they knew the person who would be brewing medicine for them in a moment would be the Xiao Clan's Third Elder, a powerhouse at the Da Dou Shi level, who would dare to step forward? What if the person got unhappy and took revenge later?

However, it wasn't as if there were no bold ones who wanted to experience the feeling of having a Da Dou Shi brew medicine. Thus, a person who looked like a mercenary soon walked forward and, amidst the admiring gazes of the crowd, sat on the diagnostic chair.

Shifting the perspective to Xiao Yan's side.

After coming out of Jiwei Hall, Xiao Yan directly spread his Purple Cloud Wings, flew straight to the main gate of the Xiao Clan, and walked inside.

Soon, the solemn and luxurious Xiao Clan main hall appeared before Xiao Yan's eyes.

Speaking of which, ever since he returned, he had often come to this place, Xiao Yan thought with some emotion.

At this moment, the members of the Xiao Clan who had been waiting in the main hall for a long time also noticed Xiao Yan's appearance and shouted loudly: "It's the Young Clan Leader, the Young Clan Leader has returned!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan, who was sitting high at the innermost part of the Xiao Clan main hall, and a middle-aged man sitting beside him who was dressed simply yet could not hide his noble air, both looked toward the entrance of the main hall.

They saw a thin young man dressed even more simply, to the point of being out of place with the atmosphere here, walking in with firm steps, his face revealing a confident smile.

After entering the main hall, Xiao Yan first performed the junior's salute to Xiao Zhan and several elders with higher seniority as usual, and then looked at the noble-looking middle-aged man sitting beside Xiao Zhan.

This must be the Imperial Family's Dou Ling powerhouse that the Third Elder mentioned, Jia Tianyu, Xiao Yan thought to himself.

At the same time, Jia Tianyu, who was sitting in his seat, was also carefully observing this young hero who could kill a peak Da Dou Shi at such a young age.

Feeling the strong aura on his body as well as the youthful naivety that had not yet fully faded, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: truly a young hero!
