Chapter 115: Living in Seclusion in the Xiao Clan

Langya Pavilion, Space Wormhole.

"Let's go. This time, I'll personally escort you to the Xiao Clan," Yi Huang said, looking at Xiao Han with annoyance.

Every time she saw Xiao Han's "powerful" cultivation of a Seven-star Dou Zong, she couldn't help but feel a wave of distress, and her heart grew even more irritated.

This is for the best anyway; it saves this guy from wandering outside all day without coming home, so that if he dies out there one day, there won't even be anyone to collect his corpse.

"Heh!" Xiao Han just scratched his head, attempting to muddle through.

"If there's anything, let me know..." Before he could finish, Xiao Han immediately stopped, remembering that he had lost all his strength and seemed unable to look after Langya Pavilion anymore.

Sensing Xiao Han's low spirits, Yi Huang couldn't help but console him: "Don't worry, not many people dare to provoke Langya Pavilion now. Besides, don't you still have that Guest Elder you recruited?"

"That's true!" Xiao Han felt relieved. The recent conflict with the Soul Hall wasn't just to vent his anger; it was more about testing the latter's attitude.

The result was clearly satisfactory. The Soul Hall currently had no intention of fighting Langya Pavilion to the bitter end. Even if they really launched a full-scale attack, with that guy Yun Lei Jing Ling around, there likely wouldn't be any major problems.

The only flaw was that the intention to unite with the Danta had not been achieved. According to news from the Danta, the Elder Council of the Small Danta had rejected the proposal for an alliance with Langya Pavilion put forward by the three great heads.

Thinking of this, Xiao Han couldn't help but sigh. As expected... this protagonist halo is truly powerful.

Back then, as soon as Xiao Yan's strength reached Dou Sheng, the opportunity came immediately, and he instantly pulled together a massive alliance of forces. When it came to Langya Pavilion, it was difficult beyond measure.

However, Xiao Han didn't care. In any case, he had originally only wanted to delay the Soul Hall's pace of collecting souls as much as possible. Since the people at the Danta didn't agree, they would be the ones suffering, not Langya Pavilion.

"Then I'll leave the pavilion to you two great Dou Sheng experts," Xiao Han said with a smile to Ye Jianxin and Yun Lei Jing Ling.

The former agreed readily, while the latter just nodded faintly to show his consent.

"Goodbye then!" Xiao Han waved at everyone and then walked into the Space Wormhole. Half a month later, news spread from Langya Pavilion that the Ice Saint had gone into seclusion once again.

This drew endless admiration from everyone. The Ice Saint hadn't slacked off in his cultivation even after reaching such a level of strength—how could they even compare? For a time, the atmosphere of cultivation in the Central Plains surged.

……

"Xiao Zhan, I'll have to trouble you, as a junior, to look after this incompetent grand-uncle," Yi Huang said to Xiao Zhan.

At the same time, she glanced at Xiao Han with some complaint: "He's already at such an age, yet he's still so unserious."

To this, Xiao Han could only laugh it off and play the fool.

Xiao Zhan, meanwhile, stood respectfully by his side, somewhat dazed, still unable to recover from the shocking news just now.

Today, Yi Huang and Xiao Han had arrived together unexpectedly, and the moment they opened their mouths, they told Xiao Zhan the news that Xiao Han's cultivation was only at the Seven-star Dou Zong level, and that Xiao Han needed to live in seclusion in the Xiao Clan for ten years.

It was like a bolt from the blue, leaving him stunned. If it weren't for knowing that his grand-uncle still had hope of recovering his cultivation, Xiao Zhan would have been worried about whether the Xiao Clan's great cause of revival would "perish halfway."

Hearing Yi Huang's words, Xiao Zhan promised solemnly: "That goes without saying. Grand-uncle, please rest assured and stay in the Xiao Clan!"

After Yi Huang left, Xiao Zhan asked respectfully: "Grand-uncle, are you going to be in seclusion in the Xiao Clan, or..."

"Hey, I'm not going into seclusion!" Hearing Xiao Zhan's words, Xiao Han acted as if he had heard something incredible and hurriedly waved his hands.

This ten-year recovery period was one of his few chances to relax; Xiao Han wouldn't spend it in seclusion.

"How about I go and be a teacher for that group of Xiao Clan brats? How about that?" Xiao Han raised an eyebrow, a plan immediately coming to mind, and said with a grin.

"That would be the honor of those little ones!" Xiao Zhan was taken aback, then naturally agreed wholeheartedly, even though Xiao Han's strange smile made him feel a bit uneasy.

But for a bunch of little kids to receive guidance from a Dou Sheng expert like Xiao Han was simply a pie falling from the sky!

He even wished he could be thirty years younger and send himself over.

"Good, let's go over there now." Xiao Han brushed his hand in front of his face, and the image of an old grandfather with a white beard and hair suddenly appeared.

This left Xiao Zhan stunned: "Grand-uncle, this is..."

"Oh, just as a precaution," Xiao Han said casually.

Xiao Zhan thought of Xun Er, who was currently in the Xiao Clan, and was filled with admiration: "As expected of Grand-uncle, to be so cautious."

He suddenly imagined a scenario where Xiao Han had disguised himself specifically to prevent being recognized by those two guests from the Ancient Clan.

In fact, Xiao Han just wanted to experience what it felt like to be an old grandfather; it was all because his talent was too high, and he had reached the Dou Sheng realm without even paying attention.

Always wearing a twenty-year-old face while saying old-fashioned things. Sigh, it's tough!

Under Xiao Zhan's guidance, Xiao Han soon arrived before the Xiao Clan juniors. Most of the Xiao Clan juniors he saw were over ten years old.

After all, many children were still at the Dou Qi stage and could not practice Cultivation Methods. As for Dou Techniques... Xiao Zhan expressed that what Dou Techniques could one practice at the Dou Qi stage? Could they even kill anyone?

This was not wrong; after all, before the coming-of-age ceremony, the Xiao Clan members rarely went out, and no one dared to attack the Xiao Clan, so there was naturally no need to practice Dou Techniques.

The many Xiao Clan juniors were very surprised to see Xiao Han and Xiao Zhan arrive. One had to know that Xiao Zhan was the Clan Leader of the Xiao Clan, busy with a thousand tasks; where would he find the spare time to come to the Martial Arts Arena to watch them train?

They were even more curious about the old grandfather figure behind him. They had lived in the Xiao Clan for so many years, yet they had never seen this old man before.

Seeing the way Xiao Zhan was so respectful toward Xiao Han, they immediately imagined a grand drama in their minds.

Just then, Xiao Zhan introduced them to the group of little brats: "This is the Ancestor of our Xiao Clan. I have specially invited him to be the teacher to guide your cultivation. Show him respect, do you understand?"

By the end of his words, Xiao Zhan's tone was extremely serious, and his uncharacteristic behavior gave everyone a fright.

"Yes!" everyone replied in unison.

Seeing the Xiao Clan juniors so full of vitality, Xiao Han was also very pleased. He patted Xiao Zhan on the shoulder, stepped forward, and said in a gentle voice: "You don't need to be so serious. Just relax; I'm actually quite easy to talk to."

His voice was very soothing, and many of the juniors relaxed without realizing it.

"Then Grand-uncle, I will take my leave first." After greeting Xiao Han, Xiao Zhan left; he was indeed very busy right now.

As the scale of the Xiao Clan continued to expand, various problems followed one after another, and coupled with his own need to cultivate, he had to split his time in two.

Xiao Han didn't mind and simply let him leave.

For the next period of time, Xiao Han, this kind and approachable old grandfather, gradually became famous among the Xiao Clan juniors for his rich knowledge and sharp eye, and he was deeply welcomed.

Many of the Xiao Clan Elders also knew Xiao Han's true identity and were filled with respect for him.

Of course, during this period, Xiao Han, this suddenly appearing Xiao Clan Ancestor, naturally also received the attention of someone from the Ancient Clan, but Xiao Han couldn't be bothered to pay attention. If they could figure out his true identity, he would consider it his loss.
