Chapter 75: The Ancient Clan Team

Just like that, Xiao Wu sat at the dinner table with a gloomy face, playing the role of background scenery the entire time.

He hadn't touched a single chopstick, yet he felt stuffed to the brim.

After careful observation, Xiao Wu was surprised to discover that these two were currently a pair of little lovebirds who were deeply in love but completely unaware of it themselves.

When asked about their relationship, their answer was unanimous: friends, and their expressions were quite natural.

But those intimate actions simply made Xiao Wu suspect that his own understanding of the definition of "friend" was wrong.

Friends?

Sure enough, Xiao Wu finally understood a little; these two were both the rather dense type.

There was no need to mention Ye Shenghan, that guy who believed in the mantra: "With no woman in one's heart, the sword becomes divine."

He was a total insulator to women; being able to encounter a girl like Yin Xin who could get along with him was truly a blessing of eight lifetimes.

As for Yin Xin, this girl was clearly isolated from the world since childhood and not good at communicating with others, yet she seemed to have a rather strong sense of reliance on Ye Shenghan.

These two seemed to treat each other as brother and sister; although the age gap didn't quite fit, they were just one step away from piercing that layer of window paper.

As for how Xiao Wu observed this, don't ask; if you ask, it's because he has rich experience—even if he hasn't eaten pork, hasn't he seen a pig run?

There were plenty of little lovebirds within the Langya Pavilion; one could find a few pairs in the Martial Arts Arena at any time.

Thinking of this, Xiao Wu couldn't help but shed painful tears in his heart. Could it be that he maintained his image too well, and not a single senior or junior sister had taken a fancy to him?

And his teacher, too—it was really something. He could introduce a partner to Brother Ye, so why couldn't he think of his own disciple?

(Xiao Han: "Don't ask; if you ask, it's because you aren't worthy!")

Xiao Han was, to some extent, a friend of a different generation with Tianyin Laoren. Although he never forgot to poach talent, this young man Ye Shenghan was much more reliable than Xiao Wu; the latter shouldn't even think about causing trouble for other people's daughters.

Xiao Han, who was currently spending some alone time with Yi Huang, suddenly sneezed.

"What's wrong?" Yi Huang asked, looking at Xiao Han, who had suddenly looked up.

Rubbing his nose, Xiao Han shook his head and said, "It's nothing. I reckon that brat is bad-mouthing me behind my back again."

Xiao Han was truly worthy of being Xiao Wu's own teacher; he had his disciple firmly in the palm of his hand.

"By the way, how are Shenghan and that girl Xin'er getting along?"

Xiao Han suddenly remembered something and asked.

"Those two children..." Yi Huang's eyes were somewhat unfocused, as if she had fallen into reminiscence.

Radiating a glow of maternal love, she covered her mouth and chuckled softly: "Their relationship is very good!"

Every time she saw the way Ye Shenghan and the other were, another pair of figures would flash before her eyes.

"This time, it shouldn't be like before, right?" It was unclear whether Yi Huang was talking to herself or to Xiao Han.

In the days that followed, Xiao Han lived a life of early retirement.

His basic daily tasks were cultivating, going shopping with Yi Huang, and educating his disciples.

The Langya Pavilion developed step by step, and the Soul Hall didn't continue to stir up any more trouble. As for the other factions in the Central Plains, due to Xiao Han's existence, naturally, no one had the guts to act recklessly in front of the Langya Pavilion.

It was just that Tianyin Laoren, who occasionally came to the Langya Pavilion to visit his disciple, looked at Ye Shenghan and Xiao Han with intense malice.

Regarding this, Ye Shenghan was clueless, while Xiao Han could only offer an embarrassed, apologetic smile. Although he was thick-skinned, he wasn't the type to be completely shameless!

Spring departed and autumn arrived; four years of time slipped away quietly between his fingertips.

……

Jia Ma Empire, Wutan City, Xiao Clan.

After the Xiao Clan took control of Wutan City, the current Wutan City was no longer the second-tier small town that had only developed because of its proximity to the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Due to the existence of the Xiao Clan, the current Wutan City was quite prosperous; a branch of the Yunlan Sect, the Mittal Auction House, and a branch of the Alchemist Guild had all been established in Wutan City.

However, at this moment, in the back mountain of the Xiao Clan, Clan Leader Xiao Zhan and many Clan Elders were waiting with serious expressions for someone's arrival.

Finally, more than a dozen tiny black dots suddenly appeared on the horizon. Only when these black dots drew closer could everyone see them clearly.

These were Four-Winged Unicorns, possessing powerful and fierce auras, far beyond what ordinary flying Magic Beasts could compare to.

At this moment, they all hovered above the crowd.

And upon them were expressionless figures in black armor. Xiao Zhan only needed to glance at them casually to perceive that these people were all Dou Zong experts who had at least been through bloody slaughter.

They were absolutely not comparable to those who had reached their level through closed-door cultivation or by popping pills.

At this time, the leader among them stepped forward and said from a high position: "Greetings, Clan Leader Xiao." The aura radiating from his body seemed to be that of a High-level Dou Zong.

It could be said without any politeness that, relying solely on this lineup, they could effortlessly flatten some small countries in the Northwest.

However, Xiao Zhan's mouth curled up: "Daring to be above my Xiao Clan, you people are quite arrogant!"

Xiao Zhan just waved his hand casually, and three figures appeared above the Xiao Clan members.

"Fellow Elders, let our Xiao Clan properly entertain these distinguished guests."

Subsequently, Xiao Zhan said to the people in the sky with an apologetic tone: "My hospitality has been lacking; please forgive me."

Seeing the three figures that had suddenly appeared before them, the leader's eyes constricted.

High-level Dou Zong!

Wasn't it said that the current Xiao Clan was just a small clan holed up in a small country in the Northwest? How could they casually bring out three High-level Dou Zong?

However, this person had no time to focus on the matter of the Xiao Clan's Dou Zong experts now.

The Xiao Clan trio had a clear division of labor: one went directly to "invite" the dozen or so Dou Huangs down, while the other two headed straight for the only Dou Zong expert in the team.

In less than five minutes, all the guests had been "invited" down.

"I wonder what business our distinguished guests have here?" Xiao Zhan asked with a beaming smile, looking like the smiling face of a devil.

Those guys were much more well-behaved now. It was still that same leader who cupped his fists respectfully and said: "Clan Leader Xiao, I am Gufeng, the captain of the vanguard team sent by my clan to escort the young lady to the Xiao Clan.

If there was any offense earlier, I hope Clan Leader Xiao will be magnanimous."

At this moment, Gufeng was already cursing the Elder who had ordered him to give the Xiao Clan a show of force to high heaven in his heart.

What small clan? What nouveau riche? What "no experts in the clan"?

Although they cannot compare to the clan, wouldn't it be effortless to deal with this group of ours?

This is great; the embarrassment has spread outside, and it is estimated that a round of punishment is unavoidable.

"Oh, an advance team?" Xiao Zhan said as if suddenly enlightened, though it was unclear if he was intentional or not.

"I actually thought they were elites? No wonder they are so weak!"

Sure enough, upon hearing these somewhat mocking words from Xiao Zhan, the corners of Gufeng's mouth twitched, and the others did not look too good either.

Is it really okay to slap someone in the face like this?

However, it is also a fact that they were easily crushed, and it is truly difficult to refute.

Just as Gufeng was thinking of saying something to struggle and salvage his reputation, a figure moving rapidly in the distance interrupted him.

When the figure drew near, Xiao Zhan's originally nonchalant expression finally became cautious, his gaze never leaving the old man in green robes who was at the center of the group, staying close to a delicate little girl who looked like she was carved from jade.

"I am Guqing, greetings to Clan Leader Xiao."

Guqing glanced at the rather disheveled Gufeng and the others out of the corner of his eye; as an old and cunning man, how could he not know they had been taught a lesson?

A trace of displeasure flashed by, "It seems someone dares to interfere with the Black Annihilation Army?"

However, he immediately suppressed his thoughts; important matters come first!
