Chapter 1112 Sister-in-law
The purpose of returning to the Douqi Continent this time, apart from the little inspiration from the ancient emperor Tushe, which might give him a glimmer of hope, is naturally for Xiao Xiao.

After all, they were anxious to ascend to the great world in order to deal with the problem of Xiao Xiao's unconsciousness as soon as possible.

Now that he has become the Supreme Lord of Heaven, the Douqi Continent has also been taken over. The things that had been left in the Douqi Continent and could not be dealt with can finally be put on the agenda.

"——Sure enough, when it comes to this child, we can't bypass her mother. I'll call her back to Douqi Continent."

When sensing Xiao Jie's existence, Xiao Yan couldn't help but ask.

"Well, if it was her, she would have probably taken action a long time ago."

"That's true."

Xiao Yan nodded slightly. She didn't think there was anything surprising about this. As a mother, she naturally cared more about Xiaoxiao than anyone else. Now everything was ready and the Douqi Continent was just around the corner. It would be surprising if she didn't come.

In just a few words, the two of them opened the space door leading to Xiao Jie. The world they created before them felt particularly familiar.

And it seemed that the connection was created by blood. Even though they did not show their aura too much, they immediately attracted a lot of attention.

In an instant, several figures came flying over, causing Xiao Yan to be slightly dazed.

After all, all the people who came were acquaintances.

His father, as well as his elder and second brothers, the three most powerful people of the Xiao clan were all here. Behind them were several familiar figures. Without exception, their cultivation was that of a Fighting Saint. Thanks to the support of their cultivation, they looked the same as they did decades ago.

"Father, two brothers."

Xiao Yan murmured something, and Xiao Zhan and his group, who originally just wanted to confirm, were overjoyed and stepped forward to surround Xiao Yan.

"It's really you. When father said he sensed you coming back, your elder brother and I didn't quite believe it!"

Xiao Li smiled and walked forward and gently hit Xiao Yan. Even though the cultivation base of the two brothers and their father were almost at the peak of the eight-star Dou Sheng, their sensitivity to blood was obviously not as good as their father's.

Should we say that there is such an inexplicable bond between father and son?
He didn't really feel it anyway.

In response, Xiao Yan smiled and nodded, but his eyes passed through his father and brother, and he immediately saw the blood relatives with whom he had some entanglements and frictions in the past.

Those who were once unruly have now become introverted and steady, and those who were once shrewd and calculating have now become steady and dignified.

Even though they had not seen each other for many years, the years had not left much trace on their bodies, and Xiao Yan could still recognize them at a glance.

"Xiao Ning, Xiao Mei, long time no see."

Xiao Yan laughed out loud and said, "I saw your sister at Canaan College. She seemed very pleased with you."

"It's nothing more than doing something within my ability. Cousin Xiao Yan, you must be joking."

Facing his childhood rival, Xiao Ning shook his head. The little conflicts between him and Xiao Yan were written off as early as when they were in Canaan Academy. What's more, everything the Xiao clan had now was brought about by Xiao Yan after he became the Dou Emperor. If he cared about it, he would not be able to be a diligent elder in the Xiao clan.

"That's fine - Xiao Mei too."

"No... No, I'm just trying my best to do something for the Xiao clan."

However, compared to Xiao Ning, whose thinking was simpler and clearer, Xiao Mei couldn't help feeling a little guilty when facing Xiao Yan.

She pursed her lips slightly, and it was hard to say that she was calm about the playmate who had accompanied her in childhood and later chose to quietly distance herself from her. But compared to her complexity, Xiao Yan obviously didn't care that much.

Life is too long and too vast. Childhood entanglements are destined not to accompany one's entire life. Looking back, even the sufferings of the past have become amusing gossip.

Having experienced so many separations and deaths, he naturally wouldn't be bothered by such things anymore.

"If that's the case, it couldn't be better."

Xiao Yan nodded, and after chatting with his peers for a few words, he followed his elder brother to the deep inside of Xiao Realm, a quiet courtyard that almost no one could reach.

"How has the Xiao clan developed over the years?"

Seeing his elder brother acting like a patriarch, Xiao Yan was naturally very happy.

"Well... let's just do it so-so. Luckily, I have your second brother to help me out, and my father has the say of the elders in the clan. As for me, the acting clan leader, I don't seem to have anything to do..."

Xiao Ding said with his hand on his forehead, slightly distressed.

He did have some experience in managing a family or a force, but when it expanded to the size of the Eight Ancient Clans, security was no longer within the scope of what his experience could handle.

"But I heard from my father that my eldest brother has done a great job as the clan leader, and nothing has gone wrong in more than 20 years."

Yao Wan suddenly spoke, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

"It's just that nothing goes wrong, that's all. Whenever there's any action in the clan, I'll pay close attention to it. Although I can ensure that nothing goes wrong, in the end I'm just wandering around aimlessly—"

"No, brother, you just push yourself too hard. Some things should be done by people you trust. You don't need to worry about everything."

Xiao Yan was naturally well aware of his elder brother's temperament, and the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch. If it were him with such a laid-back temperament, as long as nothing happened, he could be a hands-off boss for the rest of his life.

"——Are you too lax, Yanzi?"

Even though Xiao Ding has a bad temper, he couldn't help but give his brother a slap in the face for his irresponsible remarks. He acted like that because he couldn't just sit back and do nothing. Otherwise, he would never have been the clan leader.

But if I don't become the patriarch, my father will most likely take over. When my father was managing the Xiao family, people were somewhat at a loss for words. Now, how can such a big Xiao family continue to go with the flow like this?

"Huh? They're all here."

Before they could say a few more words, a graceful figure flew over and finally stopped in front of the three of them, which made Xiao Yan and Yao Wan startled.

"——Sister Xuelan?"

"Well, you've worked hard. From now on, I'll leave this to him as the father."

Under the slightly surprised gazes of Xiao Yan and Yao Wan, Xue Lan stood beside Xiao Ding, looking indescribably intimate, not at all like what an ordinary superior or subordinate or friend should be like.

"...Sister Xuelan, what are you doing...?"

"Can we call her sister-in-law now?"
