Meanwhile, the Xiao family elders on both sides had just recovered from the fact that Xiao Miao had broken through to the Dou Shi level, and upon hearing Yun Yun's unexpected news, they immediately began to exchange glances with Xiao Zhan, who was in the main seat.
At this moment, Xiao Zhan also seemed to have realized what was happening, but he still asked a question.
"Xiao Miao, just follow your own heart."
Although Xiao Zhan knew that as long as Xiao Miao agreed, the Xiao family would have a powerful backer in the Yunlan Sect, and from then on, Wu Tancheng would be the sole authority in the Xiao family, he still hoped that the child he had found in the Monster Forest would follow his heart's desire.
As long as Xiao Miao is unwilling, even at the risk of angering the Yunlan Sect, he will refuse.
Looking at the support in Xiao Zhan's eyes, Xiao Miao felt a surge of emotion. In his previous life, he was all alone, but he never expected to experience the warmth and care of family in this life.
Xiao Miao nodded to Yun Yun and replied.
"I'm willing, but I hope the sect leader will grant me some time to say goodbye to the Xiao family."
Although Xiao Miao did this largely for the sake of the Xiao family, going to the Yunlan Sect did indeed provide him with more and better cultivation resources, which would allow him to cultivate faster.
Yun Yun was overjoyed to see Xiao Miao agree so readily. Upon hearing his request, she secretly thought he was a kind and righteous person, and was extremely satisfied.
“No problem. You can make some preparations at the Xiao family. I will come to pick you up to go to the Yunlan Sect in two months.”
Yun Yun glanced at the mask on Xiao Miao's face.
"your face?"
"It's alright, Yunlan Sect has elixirs to help you recover."
Yun Yun thought that Xiao Miao might be wearing a mask because his face was damaged, so she casually mentioned it.
"The Danwang Ancient River is located in my sect."
Seemingly afraid that Xiao Miao wouldn't believe that there were elixirs in Yunnan that could restore his appearance, Yun Yun added a sentence with a rather proud tone before he could even speak.
Xiao Miao wanted to speak up in defense, but after opening her mouth, she sighed silently.
Seeing this, Yun Yun remained silent, assuming that he was simply too excited.
"You can call me teacher from now on. By the way, you also have a senior sister, Nalan Yanran. Speaking of which, she is engaged to Xiao Yan, the third young master of the Xiao family."
Yun Yun's casual remark startled Xiao Miao.
Does Third Brother have a fiancée?
Judging from his third brother's usual demeanor, Xiao Miao never imagined that he actually had a marriage agreement.
After saying this, Yun Yun didn't linger and left immediately, wanting to bring the news back to Yunlan Sect as soon as possible, and also to prepare for the apprenticeship ceremony two months later.
Xiao Miao, Xiao Zhan, and the others remained in the hall, staring at each other in bewilderment.
Xiao Zhan coughed lightly, breaking the silence in the room.
"Xiao Miao, sigh, I never thought you would become a Battle Master. I'm afraid you'll surpass me, the clan leader, soon."
"No, it was just a lucky break during my cultivation."
Xiao Miao immediately replied modestly.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan and the others thought, "We've cultivated for most of our lives, yet we're not as fortunate as you who only managed to cultivate by chance. It's truly infuriating to compare ourselves to others."
However, since they were family members, Xiao Zhan and the others' stiff expressions softened, and even turned to joy.
"Since there is nothing else, I shall take my leave."
At this moment, Xiao Zhan and the others were planning the future scenario of the Xiao family dominating Wutan City. Upon hearing Xiao Miao's departure, they immediately agreed and then began a heated discussion in the hall.
"The Yunlan Sect?"
As Xiao Miao walked along the road, she murmured to herself, the figure that had been sitting in the main seat earlier appearing in her mind.
"Xiao Miao".
I heard a sweet voice coming from behind me.
Xiao Miao turned around and saw Xiao Xun'er.
"Sister Xun'er, is there something you need from me?"
"It's nothing, I just happened to run into you."
Looking at the girl in front of him with a smile, he wondered what she was thinking.
"Sister Xun'er, just tell me what's wrong."
"It's nothing, I just wanted to call you."
Xiao Miao looked at the girl's appearance, but he could only feel helpless.
"Then I'm leaving, I still need to cultivate."
Seeing Xiao Miao's expression of wanting to be angry but also looking helpless, Xiao Xun'er couldn't help but laugh.
Daily Tasks:
Teasing Xiao Miao (1/1)
Check-in successful!!!
Xiao Zhan and the others also posted what happened that morning on the family's public notice.
In just one afternoon, the news that Xiao Miao had been accepted as a disciple by the sect leader of the Yunlan Sect spread like wildfire throughout the Xiao family, becoming common knowledge.
However, this was a mixed blessing; Xiao Yan was happy for his younger brother.
Chapter 7 Testing Battle Qi Again
"Elder Ling, do you think my little brother Xiao Miao will miss me after he goes to Yunlan Sect to cultivate? Should I leave him here? What if he gets seduced by other women after he goes to Yunlan Sect?"
Xiao Xun'er held a flower petal she had picked from who-knows-where in her hand, her voice filled with resentment and deep worry.
Hearing this, Ling Ying, who was kneeling not far from Xiao Xun'er, thought for a moment and then replied:
“Miss, your relationship with Young Master Xiao Miao has lasted for so many years, how could an outsider possibly interfere?”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xun'er thought about it and realized it was indeed true.
However, since Xiao Miao is always so diligent in her cultivation, with the support of the Yunlan Sect, her cultivation will probably improve even faster.
I've been relying on my ancient bloodline and haven't been cultivating properly. It seems I need to speed things up so I don't fall behind Xiao Miao.
The following day, Xiao Miao walked through the Xiao family compound. Ever since the news of Xiao Miao being accepted as a disciple by the Yunlan Sect Master was spread by Xiao Zhan and others, Xiao Miao, who was already a legendary figure among the younger generation of the Xiao family, was once again shrouded in a mythical veil.
Xiao Miao felt very uncomfortable with the people staring at him from all around. Even though he was wearing a mask, he was still very uncomfortable. He had been thinking that he would be leaving the Xiao family soon, but he hadn't really explored the Xiao family much yet. He had finally put down his cultivation to take a walk, but he didn't expect to be surrounded by so many people. So he had no choice but to go back inside to cultivate.
Xiao Zhan and the others did not expect this matter to have such a great impact on Xiao Miao. They could only say that they underestimated its influence. However, this was a helpless move. In recent years, the Xiao family's market had been suppressed by the other two major families in Wutan City, such as Jia Lie. If this continued, the Xiao family's market would shrink again in a few years. Spreading the news of Xiao Miao taking on disciples was firstly to celebrate the Xiao family's connection with Yunlan Sect, and secondly to intimidate the other two major families.
The Xiao family's move was indeed effective; the Jia Lie family's suppression of the Xiao family's market has stopped in the past few days, presumably out of fear of harming the innocent.
Meanwhile, in the Galley family, Galleybi was also discussing this matter with Obapa.
"Jialebi, is it true or false that Xiao Miao of the Xiao family was accepted as a disciple by the Yunlan Sect Master?"
Obapa, his face full of menace, spoke to Galebi in an unfriendly tone. After all, while it would be a lie to say he had no interest in the Xiao family's market, he hadn't taken any action; at most, there had been some minor friction. It was Galebi who had come to instigate him to suppress the Xiao family's market.
Hearing Obap's unfriendly tone, Galebi immediately understood that he was being asked to shift the blame onto him, and coldly snorted:
"Although I invited you, I didn't force you. You can only blame yourself. The current sect master of Yunlan Sect is at the Douhuang level. If what the Xiao family said is true, then we have no choice but to accept our fate. However, Wutan City will probably be dominated by the Xiao family from now on. As things stand, we can only wait two months to see if it is true or not before making a decision."
"If the test results of Xiao Miao that were previously rumored by the Xiao family are true, then it wouldn't be surprising if the Yunlan Sect accepted him as a disciple."
The two looked at each other, their faces bitter, completely losing the joy they had felt when they were secretly discussing the interests of the Xiao family.
For the next two months, Xiao Miao stayed indoors to cultivate, otherwise she would be surrounded by people as soon as she went out, which Xiao Miao, who always preferred quiet, could not stand.
The two months of arduous training only allowed Xiao Miao to improve his cultivation by three stars. This made Xiao Miao, who was used to rapid leveling up, sigh repeatedly. Little did he know that if he told others, they would envy him for his slow progress despite his hard work.
In order to deal with the doubts from the outside world, Xiao Zhan and others decided to hold another battle qi test two days before Xiao Miao left. However, it was not just a test for Xiao Miao alone, but for all the younger generation of the Xiao family. This move was also to let everyone know the strength of the Xiao family.
As Xiao Miao walked towards the martial arts arena, he saw Xiao Zhan and others sitting in the seats, entertaining the visiting forces of the Xiao family.
Wearing a white fox fur mask and a white robe, Xiao Miao's entrance drew everyone's attention, as he was the star of the day.
The crowd glanced at Xiao Miao and realized they couldn't discern his strength. Among them were many Great Dou Masters. They shook their heads, a dark glint in their eyes, and looked at Xiao Zhan, who simply smiled and urged everyone to take their seats.
Old fox!
Seeing that they couldn't extract any information from him, the group cursed inwardly, assuming that the Xiao family had given him some kind of clever way to conceal his presence.
Little did Xiao Zhan know that he was also feeling helpless at this moment. After all, he did not know Xiao Miao's current cultivation level. Although he had shown his skills in the first two months, he estimated that with his astonishing cultivation speed, his cultivation level must have increased in the past two months. Therefore, he was not sure about Xiao Miao's current realm.
"Third Brother, who are those people?"
Seeing Xiao Yan walking towards him, Xiao Miao couldn't help but ask.
“Those people are all from the Wutan City faction. Sitting to my father’s right is Gu Ni, the spokesperson for the Wutan City branch of the Mittel Auction House. He is said to be a second-grade alchemist. To my father’s left is an elder of the Lin family.”
At this moment, Xiao Miao looked at the two people sitting at the end of the main seat and saw that they both had gloomy faces.
"That is?"
“Those are Jia Liebi and Aobapa, the patriarchs of the Jia Lie family and the Aoba family. The two of them have always been at odds with our Xiao family. In recent years, they have been the ones who led the suppression of the Xiao family’s market.”
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's answer, Xiao Miao's expression beneath his mask darkened. After all, the Xiao family was his home, and his father treated him like family.
Seeing Xiao Miao's cluelessness, Xiao Yan sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation. His younger brother was exceptionally talented, but he didn't care about anything outside of cultivation. He was worried that Xiao Miao might get tricked one day.
"Don't worry too much. Today's test is mainly to prove your talent to the outside world. Otherwise, I'm afraid no one would believe that you were accepted as a disciple by the Yunlan Sect Master."
