Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 275: Retreating to Protect the Clan

a few days later.

After Ruoruo's last healing, the remaining Dou Qi in Xiao Yan's body had been completely suppressed into his chest and Dantian. Although he was still unable to use his cultivation, at least walking on the ground was no longer a difficult task.

Having resolved the issue of the three-year agreement, Xiao Yan was now looking forward to the upcoming college life, but he did not forget his identity as the young clan leader.

In fact, as early as when he learned that his father was missing, he had thought about it more than once, trying to place the Xiao family's power in the imperial capital and take root there. However, time was too tight at the time, and he only mentioned this idea once to Hai Bodong while they were on the road, and then put it on hold for the time being.

But what Xiao Yan did not expect was that the other party actually took this matter to heart. When the dust settled on the Yunlan Sect, he tried to invite everyone in the Xiao family to the imperial capital through Ya Fei.

With Ya Fei, who had once patronized the Xiao family, as the go-between, the three elders naturally did not have too many doubts and readily agreed. Now, more than half a month has passed, and even the mansion they will move into has been prepared.

The Xiao family is now like a dead tree coming back to life, with everything waiting to be rebuilt!
Therefore, after Xiao Yan regained his mobility, he immediately expressed his gratitude to Hai Lao, and rushed to a new mansion in the imperial capital, and began to preside over the overall situation of the Xiao family's relocation.

The imperial capital, the new residence of the Xiao family.

Seeing Xiao Yan coming, the three elders who were originally busy were overjoyed. They rushed over and surrounded Xiao Yan.

"Young patriarch!"

"Hahaha! Young Clan Leader, you're finally here."

The three of them at this moment had long lost the sorrow they had when they were in the precarious situation in Wutan City. They all had rosy complexions and were in high spirits, as if they were ten years younger and full of energy.

"Haha, I haven't seen you for a few days. Seeing the three elders looking so good, I feel relieved."

Xiao Yan politely bowed to the three of them, smiled faintly, and said, "How is the current situation of my Xiao family?"

Hearing this, the Great Elder's expression suddenly became solemn. "Young Clan Leader, thanks to Miss Yafei and Mr. Hai, over 400 people from our Xiao Family have successfully moved into the Imperial Capital in just half a month!"

"So, this mansion was also given to the Xiao family by Hai Lao in his own name?"

Hearing that Hai Bodong did not use the name of the Miter family to act, Xiao Yan's heart warmed and he said slowly:
"This newly built mansion in the heart of the imperial capital must have cost a lot of money."

The mansion before us, in terms of land area alone, is much larger than the Nalan family and the Mu family, which were once known as the "three major families", not to mention the countless priceless decorations and furnishings inside.

After a quick look, Xiao Yan even saw several unfamiliar volumes of Xuan-level fighting skills in the fighting skills hall in the side hall which was still under renovation. Such connections and skills were obviously only possessed by a Douhuang powerhouse.

"Young Patriarch is absolutely right. This is the work of Mr. Hai Lao."

Speaking of this, recalling the past life of intrigue and scheming with the other two major families, the Great Elder couldn't help but shake his head and sighed with a complicated expression:

"Honestly, if this had happened in the past, it would have been something I wouldn't have dared to imagine. Even now, I and the others are still finding it hard to believe that Mr. Hai, the man who came to our Xiao family with you, is actually a terrifying Douhuang-level expert."

"Don't worry, Great Elder. Just accept this gift from Elder Hai without any hesitation. There's no need to be too reserved."

Xiao Yan glanced at the Miter family's subordinates who were busy moving things and said with a smile, "As for his favor, I'll be the one to repay it."

"With the young clan leader's words, we feel relieved."

Upon hearing this, the Great Elder finally showed a hint of relief between his brows, and sighed with some regret:
"We've heard a bit about your deeds before. You've achieved so much in just three years. If the clan leader were still alive, I'm afraid he'd be so happy that he'd start a quarrel with us old guys. His vision is indeed far beyond ours."

"Indeed, Father used to quarrel with you three constantly. Now that I think about it, although there were frictions, it was still an interesting memory." Seeing Xiao Yan's face also showing nostalgia, the grumpy Third Elder beside him secretly pushed the First Elder, then forced a smile and said comfortingly:
"Young Patriarch, don't listen to this old fellow's nonsense. Your father is a lucky man, and nothing will happen to him!"

"That's right. The light spot on the jade is still there, proving that the clan leader is definitely safe. As a Xiao family heirloom, the information contained in the jade cannot be false!"

The second elder, who had always been taciturn, finally spoke, speaking with great certainty, and hurriedly winked at the first elder.

"Hahahaha!"

Looking at the two old men who kept pushing the Great Elder, Xiao Yan was stunned at first, then burst into laughter, causing the three of them to freeze in mid-air, as if they were surprised at this boy's 'heartlessness' -

His father's whereabouts were still unknown, so why did Xiao Yan suddenly change his previous murderous look and instead show such a relaxed and laughing attitude?
Could it be
An unbelievable thought came to his mind, and the Third Elder's eyes widened. He whispered, "Young Clan Leader, could it be your father?"

"Yes, father is fine and has been rescued."

A hint of smile flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes, and he said lightly: "It seems that I will have to serve as the young clan leader for a while longer."

"What?!!"

What echoed above the Xiao family was the roars of several old men, mixed with ecstasy and complexity.

Even though there had been conflicts in the past, after the Xiao family had experienced such a crisis and hardship, stepping back to protect the clan was what every member of the Xiao family hoped for.

Just as Xiao Yan promised, the Xiao family will never be bullied again!

After being busy in the Xiao family's brand new mansion for several days, Xiao Yan, who had managed to stabilize the situation, could no longer contain his excitement. Following the soul coordinates he got from Ruoruo afterwards, he rushed to a town outside the imperial capital without stopping.

Compared to the luxury of the imperial capital, this place, although not far away, has a fresh rural atmosphere and is unremarkable in the eyes of ordinary cultivators.

But when he actually arrived here, Xiao Yan felt the thoughts and impulses in his heart, which were even more intense than when he first set foot on the Yunlan Sect. The feeling of worrying about gains and losses stimulated him and he could not calm down for a long time.

He knew that this was the girl's most sincere devotion to him. She was willing to risk exposing her identity in order to give him a chance to reunite with her father.

"Ruoruo."

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan's eyes were unusually gentle as he walked slowly among the crowd. His pace became faster and faster, until finally there was even a whistling sound in the wind. He didn't care about the severe pain of cracked body, and continued to gallop freely in the sun.

Soon, he arrived at the end of the soul coordinates.

His footsteps stopped in front of a courtyard with an ancient charm. Xiao Yan was slightly panting due to the pain, but his expression was more complicated than ever before. After adjusting his breathing again and again, he finally stopped hesitating and gently knocked on the door.

After a brief silence, the courtyard door was quietly pushed open, and a middle-aged man with the gait of a dragon and a tiger suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Yan.

"Oh, Yan'er is here. Your father has been waiting for you for a long time. Come on, come in and sit down."

Seeing Xiao Yan coming here, Xiao Zhan did not show any surprise, but just smiled happily.

Looking at that familiar face that was filled with kindness and concern, Xiao Yan felt a pang of pain in his nose and laughed hoarsely:

"Dad, the baby is here."
