Chapter 82: Xian'er

"It seems the Xiao Clan still has many secrets we haven't discovered yet!" Xun Er muttered, and then her small face turned bitter.

Father even told her to come and retrieve the Tuoshe Ancient God Jade; how was she supposed to complete this mission? Should she lay her cards on the table?

If Xiao Zhan knew of Xun Er's thoughts at this moment, he would certainly raise both hands and feet in agreement—no problem at all, I've been waiting for you to tell me when you're ready.

"Young Miss, should we request the Clan Leader to send more experts from the clan?" After a long while, Ling Ying asked cautiously.

Although his strength was enough to be invincible in the Jia Ma Empire, placing him here in the Xiao Clan was purely like a sheep entering a tiger's den; if the other party truly harbored any malicious intent, neither he nor the Young Miss would be able to escape.

However, that Xiao Clan Leader, Xiao Zhan, was clearly an upright and honorable powerhouse, and he also knew the Young Miss's extraordinary status, so this possibility was not very high.

Still, one must always take precautions!

"No need." Contrary to Ling Ying's expectations, Xun Er rejected his proposal.

"Young Miss, why is that?" Ling Ying asked in confusion; although he was only a servant and had no right to question her, the situation was special, and a few questions could still be raised, especially when it concerned Xun Er's safety.

"What kind of strength do you think we should have the clan send over?" Xun Er glanced at Ling Ying; why was this guy's brain so slow?

"Of course it's..." Ling Ying was about to say something, but in the end, he could only stammer. That's right, who should be sent over? A Dou Zong? Wouldn't that be the same thing?

The Xiao Clan had no shortage of Dou Zong powerhouses themselves, unless they sent several more. But having too many people would not only make it easy to be exposed, but might also cause unnecessary trouble; if it caused the Xiao Clan to feel resentment, it would contradict her original intention.

A Dou Venerate? At the very least, it would have to be a High-stage Dou Venerate, otherwise they wouldn't be able to suppress Xiao Zhan, this Xiao Clan Leader.

But to have a High-stage Dou Venerate powerhouse do nothing for over ten years, just hiding in the Northwest Continent to play a game of wits with a family hidden there—was there something wrong with their brain?

Furthermore, there was a little secret hidden in the back of Xun Er's mind. If another powerhouse were really sent over, the matter of Brother Xiao Yan would be impossible to hide, so... she absolutely could not call for anyone.

But the mission still had to be completed; without a powerhouse to guarantee it, the difficulty would be much greater!

For a moment, Xun Er and Ling Ying were in a dilemma.

The next day, at the Xiao Clan.

At this moment, Xiao Han was staring fixedly at a little girl in white by Yi Huang's feet.

Perhaps due to malnutrition, her body was somewhat thin, but those eyes that looked at him timidly were still bright, and the way she tightly hugged Yi Huang's calf showed her own nervousness and unease.

"Why are you staring at her?" Yi Huang chided Xiao Han, looking at the little girl in white beside her with affection; feeling the girl's movements, her own strong heart suddenly softened.

"This is?..." Xiao Han ignored her, only saying in a somewhat dazed manner: "Woeful Poison Body!"

In Xiao Han's perception, there were quite a few strange toxins remaining on the little girl in white, yet she herself was completely unaffected.

"You noticed it too?" Yi Huang was stunned, but then she shook her head and smiled, "That's true, your perception ability is much stronger than mine." Thinking of Xiao Han's soul realm, Yi Huang felt a moment of envy.

"How did you find her?" Xiao Han asked with a frown; the great name of the Woeful Poison Body was renowned even in the Central Plains, but now it was almost completely extinct, and in Xiao Han's impression, there was only that little medical...

Hmm?!

Xiao Yi Xian? Xiao Han's pupils shrank; looking at this age... it was a perfect match! Could it really be her? She was just picked up by his wife like this?

"Are you talking about Xian'er?" Thinking of this, Yi Huang felt a bit of heartache, and even more relief; fortunately, she had run into her, otherwise, how pitiful this little one's future life would be!

"I found Xian'er in a small village between the Magical Beast Mountain Range and the Xiao Clan. At that time, this little one's Woeful Poison Body seemed to have erupted; if I hadn't appeared in time, the people of that entire village might have all died..."

Afterwards, Yi Huang recounted in detail the cause and effect of her finding Xian'er, as well as the entire process of bringing her back.

To this, Xiao Han could only say that fate plays tricks on people! Life is full of surprises everywhere!

"So, you want to take Xian'er back to the Langya Pavilion?" Xiao Han confirmed Yi Huang's thoughts once more; hearing Yi Huang's tone, he made a slight guess.

Xiao Han could be certain that this Xian'er was indeed that Xiao Yi Xian. Since Yi Huang had brought her back, Xiao Han would not suggest sending her away.

Otherwise, the current Yi Huang, who was overflowing with maternal love, would definitely not let him off; if he really did that, it would be questionable whether he could even enter the room in the future.

Moreover, in a sense, the talent of the Woeful Poison Body was a cheat.

As long as one could successfully condense a Poison Pill to stop the eruption of the Woeful Poison Body, and had enough poisonous materials, the possessor of the Woeful Poison Body had absolutely no such thing as a cultivation bottleneck.

Furthermore, every one of them was a powerful combatant capable of easily fighting across ranks.

Although the method of condensing a Poison Pill had been lost, Xiao Han knew very well that a certain unreliable old grandfather happened to have it!

As long as the Woeful Poison Body could be suppressed for these ten-plus years, with the support of the entire Langya Pavilion, Xian'er's cultivation would surely be able to break through rapidly in a short time, and even surpassing his current disciple Xiao Wu would be no problem.

However, Xiao Han still wanted to tease her, so he said with a solemn expression: "Huang'er, you should know what the situation is with the Woeful Poison Body, right?"

"This..." Yi Huang's face turned pale instantly. To a certain extent, as an Alchemist, Yi Huang was even more aware of the terror of the Woeful Poison Body; it was truly an existence capable of easily slaughtering cities and destroying nations.

If she really took Xian'er in, one day, when her cultivation reached a relatively profound level... if the poison body erupted in the Langya Pavilion, it might instantly poison a large number of disciples in the pavilion to death.

To say the losses would be heavy would be an understatement.

Just as Yi Huang felt troubled, she subconsciously looked at the little girl in her line of sight, who was quite helpless but had remained silent all along.

Looking at the child by her feet who was so dependent on her, her heart was tangled. This child was so sensible it made one's heart ache; letting her wander around was something Yi Huang truly could not bear.

Finally, Yi Huang hardened her heart and gritted her teeth, saying: "Why don't you just seal Xian'er's constitution!"

As the person closest to Xiao Han, Yi Huang knew everything about his abilities like the back of her hand.

And among Xiao Han's Cultivation Methods, there happened to be a sealing technique; those who were sealed would have their Dou Qi, bloodline, etc., all rendered ineffective, and unless a more powerful external force was used to break it, they would only be able to live as an ordinary person for the rest of their life.

And a constitution like the Woeful Poison Body happened to be among those that could be sealed; although in the Dou Qi Continent, not being able to cultivate was a very painful thing.

But compared to the total destruction after the Woeful Poison Body erupted, this was already a very good outcome.

Moreover, Yi Huang believed that even if Xian'er could not cultivate, with the protection of the Langya Pavilion, she could ultimately live a safe and happy life.

"It seems you have already made your decision?" Xiao Han asked somewhat seriously; Yi Huang's answer was also somewhat beyond his expectations, but under the current circumstances, this was already the most suitable solution.
