Chapter 303: Watching the Fun
On the other side, Xian'er and Xin Lan had already found their seats. For some unknown reason, the Ancient Clan had placed the Langya Pavilion's seats in a position extremely close to the center.
Yao Lao's method of appearing in the plaza also drew the gazes of both, and when they caught sight of Yao Lao's face, even with the aesthetic standards they had developed under the influence of Xiao Han and the others, they could not help but have their eyes light up.
"Senior Sister, this is the first time I've seen a man as handsome as Mr. Yao Lao!" Xin Lan's eyes were filled with brilliant colors.
"You little girl!" Xian'er speechlessly tapped Xin Lan's little head with her finger, "Always full of flowery words, where is that cold and aloof little princess from before others?"
"Senior Sister, isn't it just you here?" Xin Lan waved her hand dismissively.
As they spoke, they completely ignored the other spectators in the arena.
The stunning beauty of Xian'er and her companion attracted a large number of burning gazes; however, upon noticing Xian'er's face, everyone turned their heads in other directions in unison.
There was no other reason; the name of the Poison Fairy of Langya Pavilion had long since resounded throughout the Central Plains. Even without the prefix of "Langya Pavilion," the mere name of the Poison Fairy was enough to scare away their lustful hearts.
The cautionary tales of those who, ignorant of the truth, had once provoked her and watched helplessly as they turned into pools of blood, were still fresh in their memories!
"It seems the people of the Ancient Clan are quite sensible, huh!" Just as Xian'er and Xin Lan were chatting and laughing, a white-robed figure suddenly appeared silently beside them.
Xian'er first subconsciously circulated her Dou Qi, the potent poison instantly turning the armrest of the chair beside her into a cloud of white mist, but after seeing the newcomer's face clearly, she said respectfully: "Senior Uncle!"
Xin Lan also bowed, but the surprise in her eyes could not be concealed at all.
Xiao Han waved his hand, a barrier enveloping the surrounding area, and let the two take their seats, "I just came over to check on you two on behalf of your teacher."
He said in a tone slightly filled with grievance: "When you two precious darlings get into trouble, it's not easy for your Senior Uncle either!"
Xian'er and Xin Lan looked at each other and smiled; Senior Uncle's henpecked nature still hadn't lessened!
At this moment, Xiao Han continued: "Of course, the more important thing should be the good show that is about to be staged during the Adult Ceremony."
"A good show?" Xian'er was the first to react, "Is Senior Uncle referring to Xiao Yan?"
"Oh?" Xiao Han raised an eyebrow and said in surprise: "It seems that kid is quite famous?"
"More than just famous!" Xin Lan immediately interjected, looking completely impressed as she said: "It's spread throughout the entire Ancient Clan; the Ancient Clan's proud daughter of heaven, Gu Xun'er, publicly announced that she likes him."
Xin Lan clicked her tongue: "He's suddenly become the public enemy of the vast majority of the younger generation of the Ancient Clan; this is the rhythm of being targeted to death!"
"Hehe~" Xiao Han laughed: "Wanting to marry someone else's dream lover without paying any price, how could that be possible!"
"So, Senior Uncle will give you a piece of advice." Xiao Han was mysterious, and just when the two thought some serious words would come from him, Xiao Han suddenly said:
"In the future, when looking for a husband, you must find one with ability. Otherwise, your sweethearts won't even be able to pass the test of our Langya Pavilion's male disciples alone."
"Senior Uncle!" x2
Suddenly, two shy, sharp cries rang out. How did the topic turn to finding a husband?
Fortunately, because they often accompanied Yi Huang, the two were well-prepared for Xiao Han's true image and did not have that sense of disillusionment with an idol.
"Hahaha~" Xiao Han laughed incessantly.
Men are boys until they die; this phrase fit Xiao Han perfectly, at least this level of unseriousness was on par with his little disciple.
The bell rang resoundingly, and the plaza suddenly became solemn.
"The ceremony begins!"
And Xiao Han also stopped his mischief, replaced by a startling solemnity.
Xian'er and the other blinked, looked at each other, and read from the other's eyes: "Has Senior Uncle fallen ill?"
Xiao Han did not look back and said calmly: "Watch carefully. As one of the strongest Ancient Races, the overall strength of the Ancient Clan's younger generation is much stronger than our Langya Pavilion."
"At least leave an impression!"
"Yes!" Hearing the solemnity in Xiao Han's words, the two also put away their playful thoughts and began to observe with focused expressions.
However...
They were soon disappointed. Watching the "young talents" who walked up and then walked back down, Xin Lan yawned and said in a dejected tone:
"Senior Sister, it seems none of them are your match?"
Saying it like that was being polite. In Xin Lan's eyes, those "old guys" in their twenties or even thirties were all high and mighty, yet their cultivation was shockingly low; there were hardly any Dou Zuns among them.
The strongest was that Black Annihilation Army Second Commander who had been beaten up by the Xiao family, and he was only a Six-Star Dou Zun. This made Xin Lan, who was used to seeing her Senior Sister Xian'er at Dou Zun Peak, extremely disappointed.
This time, it was just that their horizons had been raised too high!
Xin Lan's words were also agreed upon by Xian'er. Although these people were indeed a "billion" times stronger than the other junior brothers in Langya Pavilion, they weren't enough for her to fight alone; it shouldn't be enough for Senior Uncle to value them so much!
It wasn't until Xian'er turned her head and caught a glimpse of a certain figure who was closing his eyes to rest, that black lines appeared on her forehead.
It's hard, it's hard! She must report this to her teacher when she goes back and make Senior Uncle sleep on the floor for a year.
Until a figure exuding a chilling aura, with a posture as straight as a spear, walked up, Xin Lan's spirits lifted.
"Senior Sister, the good show is here!"
"That Xiuluo Dutong is on stage!"
She had spent this time finding out almost everything about the Ancient Clan, and this Xiuluo Dutong, Gu Yao, was clearly a key figure among them.
"Hmm!" Xian'er immediately looked over, light flickering in her eyes, the corners of her mouth slightly raised: "This one is still a bit interesting!"
"However..." With a scrutinizing tone, Xian'er whispered to herself: "Can you really defeat that Xiao Yan?"
"That Ancient Clan kid is on stage?" Xiao Han, who had been "closing his eyes to rest," had already opened his eyes at some point, a smile on his lips.
And on the other side, on Xiao Yan's side.
"Yo!" Xiao Zhan said with a playful face, "Is this the kid from the Ancient Clan who wants to snatch my Xiao family's daughter-in-law?"
"This cold, icy face doesn't look very likable at all!"
"If she chooses him, it would simply be a disservice to Xun'er's peerless, city-toppling beauty!"
Yao Lao, on the other hand, curiously touched his own face, revealing a smile that was enough to drive a beauty-obsessed person crazy and made one feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze, as he looked at Xiao Zhan and said:
"Clan Leader Xiao, how is this old man's appearance? It's not worse than that young talent called Gu Yao, right!"
"Mr. Yao Lao, more than that!" Xiao Zhan said very supportively: "With your appearance, if you went for a stroll on the street, who knows how many young maidens' hearts you would hook!"
Yao Lao said happily: "Clan Leader Xiao is too kind." His tone was very humble, but it perfectly interpreted what it meant to say one thing while meaning another.
The three juniors present could only twitch their mouths, looking speechlessly at the two old seniors who were acting like children, secretly sighing: "This is what they call returning to one's youth, right!"
Immediately, Xun'er said with a hint of worry: "Brother Xiao Yan, you must be careful!"
She knew well that this battle was already unavoidable; if he were to evade it, given the martial spirit of the Ancient Clan, there would likely be no possibility left between the two of them.
Xiao Yan smiled calmly and reassured Xun'er: "Rest assured, I will not lose this battle!"
"Because if I lose, everything will be gone," Xiao Yan muttered to himself in his heart.
Meanwhile, Yao Lao and Xiao Zhan tacitly remained silent. Appropriately blocking the harassment from the older generation of experts was a form of protection for Xiao Yan, ensuring the other side would not be unscrupulous and bully him by claiming he had no one backing him.
But challenges from peers could only be relied upon by oneself; otherwise, that would not be protecting a younger generation, but raising a giant baby!
