Chapter 11: Returning to the Xiao Clan
Although he did not know that, just a few decades later, his third son would be so outstanding.
Not only did he leave behind the famous saying, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; do not bully the young because they are poor."
But he also emerged suddenly when the Dou Qi Continent was trembling under the threat of Hun Tiandi.
He sealed the Blood Emperor in the guise of the Flame Emperor, achieving the dual feat of breaking through to the Imperial rank while defeating an Imperial.
One can only say that transmigrators still have privileges. First there was the genius Xiao Han, later there was the cheat-user Xiao Yan. The Xiao Clan's ancestral graves are practically on fire.
Xiao Xuan, who was waiting for an outstanding descendant in the Heavenly Tomb at this time, sneezed, as if he sensed something.
"..."
Just as Xiao Zhan was in the midst of intense psychological activity, the appearance of two figures made him immediately shift his attention.
Xiao Zhan stepped forward: "Grand-uncle."
He looked at Yi Huang again, not knowing how he should address her; although he had his guesses, wouldn't it be embarrassing if he said it wrong?
It would be troublesome if he were to fall out with someone because of it.
Seeing Xiao Zhan's hesitation, Xiao Han took the initiative to explain: "This is my wife."
Hearing this intimate term, Yi Huang blushed again, feeling at a loss.
Having received a definitive answer, Xiao Zhan hurriedly bowed: "Greetings, Grand-aunt!"
Yi Huang: "..."
The child is quite good, it's just that he has a mouth.
"Pfft~" Xiao Han covered his mouth.
Seeing that resentful gaze, Xiao Han said: "I won't laugh, pfft~"
Earth-yellow flames once again circled around Yi Huang, and rolling heat waves radiated from her body.
It scared Xiao Zhan so much that his legs trembled and he kept swallowing his saliva. The Dou Qi in his body circulated frantically to resist the high temperature.
Sensing Xiao Zhan's embarrassment, Xiao Han waved his hand, and Cold Ice Dou Qi swept out; the low temperature made Xiao Zhan unable to help but shiver.
"Try laughing again," Yi Huang, having reacted, withdrew her Exotic Fire, but could only make threats in vain.
"Alright, I won't laugh." Xiao Han finally calmed his excited heart.
Then, he turned to Xiao Zhan and said: "Tell me, are you still single? Don't you know that a woman's age is not to be questioned? Just address her as Senior from now on."
When he finished speaking, he even carried a hint of righteousness.
Xiao Zhan still felt a bit aggrieved, and then, being the honest and simple person he still was, he said: "Grand-uncle, I have long since married, and now I even have two children."
Xiao Han froze on the spot, looking at Yi Huang's mocking little expression and his own descendant's honest gaze, which now felt like blades striking his soul.
"I..."
Then, Xiao Han, embarrassed into anger, spoke in an unkind tone, slightly tinged with surprise: "Which girl's judgment is so poor that she could take a liking to you?"
Xiao Zhan: "..."
Since his own ancestor had spoken, what could he do?
Of course, Xiao Han did not continue this topic: "Where is Xiao Lin?"
Just now, Xiao Han had subconsciously scanned the entire Xiao Clan with his Soul Power, but he had not found Xiao Lin's figure.
Could it be that he was disobedient and ran off again? At this moment, he was already planning to let his nephew experience some kindness from his uncle.
Xiao Zhan replied: "Father has already taken a step ahead to Wutan City to scout for information."
"Not bad, his awareness is quite high!" Xiao Han praised.
It seems that after being the Clan Leader for so many years, that once-troublemaking brat has matured quite a bit now.
Regarding Xiao Han's evaluation, Xiao Zhan could only offer no explanation.
Was he supposed to expose his own father's secrets, saying that after waking up and hearing that Grand-uncle Xiao Han had visited, he wanted to run away before his injuries had even healed?
Hmm? Weighing the combat power comparison between himself and his father, he, a mere Dou Shi, had better not try to twist the thigh of a Dou Wang.
Satisfied as he was, business still could not be put aside.
Xiao Han instructed Xiao Zhan: "Secretly gather one hundred Xiao Clan members who are currently above the Dou Zhe level, have high talent, and are trustworthy, then provide a secret room...
As soon as possible."
"Yes."
After the message was sent out, Xiao Zhan asked suspiciously: "Grand-uncle, is there something so urgent?"
Sighing helplessly, "Of course it's to help you all improve your strength.
Those with weak cultivation are an insult to the word 'weakling'!
Besides, if you want to reach Wutan City safely, not to mention Dou Wangs, at least a bunch of Dou Lings should come along.
Otherwise, it's unclear how many people will be alive in the end."
Hearing these words from Xiao Han that were somewhat like iron failing to become steel, Xiao Zhan could only express helplessness.
As the existence in the hearts of the Xiao Clan members who gathered all the luck in one body, Xiao Han indeed had the qualifications to say this.
But afterwards, it was ecstatic joy.
What does it mean that a bunch of Dou Lings should come, isn't it just helping us improve to Dou Ling?
He did not doubt whether Xiao Han could do it; this was a legendary Dou Sheng expert, an existence they, the Xiao Clan members, wouldn't even dare to dream about.
Is it hard to accept that he has such means?
Seven days later, Xiao Clan secret room.
Many Xiao Clan members looked at each other, feeling the sense of power brought by the abundant Dou Qi in their bodies, and still found it somewhat unbelievable.
Was it that easy to reach Dou Ling?
The order in which they improved was like this:
Arriving at the secret chamber—consuming the Medicinal Pill—that beautiful senior patted his shoulder—breaking through.
Hmm, from Dou Zhe to Da Dou Shi, Dou Shi entering Dou Ling, Da Dou Shi to high-level Dou Ling.
It is just that simple and unadorned.
Then, what shocked them even more was that Great-Uncle was still not satisfied.
"Time is a bit tight this time; continue after arriving at Wutan City..."
Everyone:...
That's right, it is the feeling of happiness.
Xiao Han had Yi Huang prepare a batch of Medicinal Pills in advance, enough to cultivate hundreds of Dou Wangs and Dou Huangs, plus Yi Huang herself, an owner of an Exotic Fire.
This level is still far from enough. That senior's inheritance is exceptionally friendly to the current situation of the Xiao Clan, which is in urgent need of improvement.
Although the cost is high, this is also relative; this little bit of consumption is probably only equivalent to the entire net worth of a low-level Dou Venerate expert.
Not to mention that Xiao Han just got rich recently.
Even in the past, Yi Huang was a Dou Venerate and a part-time Seventh-Grade Alchemist, Xiao Han was a Peak Dou Venerate, and they were supported by the first-class faction Langya Pavilion.
Does this little bit of stuff count as anything?
After everyone left, only Xiao Zhan and his two grandfather-generation big shots were left in the room; although he was excited inside, he was also very nervous.
"Have you notified that brat Xiao Lin to come back?"
Xiao Han did not care about Xiao Zhan's pressure, nor did he know about it.
After all, back in the Xiao Clan, Xiao Han was worshipped like an ancestor. In his short time in the Xiao Clan, he only experienced the warmth and kindness of his elders.
"Father, he should be able to rush back in about a day." Worried that Xiao Lin's speed was too slow and would cause dissatisfaction from his Great-Uncle, he helped explain,
"After all, Father's current news cannot be exposed, so he cannot use Dou Qi Transformation Wings, and traveling on the ground will be much slower."
Xiao Han nodded to show he understood, "Have him come find me immediately after he returns."
Muttering, "At such an old age, he isn't even a Dou Zong..."
Xiao Zhan:...
