Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

Chapter 143 The Birth of the Demon Child

Wutan City, Xiao Family

"Finally back. Home is always the warmest place." Xiao Li stretched.

After Xiao Li entered the Xiao family, he found that everyone in the family was busy.

"What happened?" Xiao Li was completely confused. What had happened in the Xiao family that made them so busy?

"Hey, what happened?" Xiao Li asked, grabbing a young man.

"Who are you? Wait, you're Lord Xiao Li! Lord Li, you've come home?" The young man exclaimed in surprise after recognizing Xiao Li's appearance.

"Yes, it's me. What happened?"

The young man said, "Master Li, the young mistress has given birth, and the third young master is about to be born?"

Xiao Li tilted his head: "Young Madam? Oh~ it's Xinya, Xiao Zhan's wife. She gave birth to her third son? What's his name?"

Young man: "According to the discussion between the clan leader and the young clan leader, the third young master's name is Xiao Yan!"

"Is that you, Huo Huo? Your second grandpa has finally waited for you! Waaaaah, finally someone can share my burden!"

"I'll go take a look."

As soon as Xiao Li finished speaking, his figure vanished, leaving the young man completely dumbfounded: "Vanished? As expected of Lord Li, his strength is terrifying."

Xiao family backyard,

The place was already packed with people, and many Xiao family disciples were gathered around whispering among themselves.

"What do you think of the talent of the third young master born to the young mistress this time? The eldest and second young masters have already shown extremely strong aptitude for cultivation."

The eldest son, the second son, Xiao Wan (aunt), Xiao Che (cousin), Xiao Zhou (cousin), and Xiao Yu (cousin) are known as the Six Heroes of the Xiao Family by the clan leader, who places high hopes on them!

I wonder about the Third Young Master's talent? It's said that the young clan leader once asked Lord Li for a elixir; if a pregnant woman takes it, it will greatly improve the child's aptitude!

A disciple of the Xiao family whispered among himself.

Another member of the Xiao family asked in confusion, "How can you be sure it's the Third Young Master? He was born! How can you tell the gender?"

"Are you stupid? The clan leader is a Dou Huang level expert! With his discerning eye, how could he not tell whether the young mistress is carrying a boy or a girl? I seriously suspect you're a spy sent by another family!"

"Huh? No, I'm not, I'm not."

"Still dare to say no! You audacious spy, I'll expose you! Take this Iron Mountain Lean!"

. . . . . .

Xiao Li arrived outside the most crowded room. At this moment, Xiao Lin and Xiao Zhan were standing outside the door. Xiao Zhan was pacing back and forth, occasionally pressing his ear against the wall, hoping to hear some good news.

"Zhan'er, how old are you? Why are you still so impatient?"

Xiao Lin criticized Xiao Zhan with a stern face, but Xiao Zhan didn't care. After all, this was about the birth of his third child, so how could he not be anxious?

"Brother, don't criticize Xiao Zhan. It's only human nature for him to act this way." Xiao Li suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Lin and Xiao Zhan.

"Xiao Li?"

"Uncle?"

Xiao Li nodded with a smile: "I'm back. Is Xiao Zhan's third child about to be born? That's fast. Your uncle doesn't even have any children yet."

Xiao Zhan smiled upon hearing Xiao Li's words: "Then Uncle, you'd better keep it up."

"Waaaaaahh ...

Suddenly, the sound of a baby crying came from inside the room, instantly drawing the attention of the three people who had been chatting.

Before long, a servant of the Xiao family opened the door, and a wet nurse carrying a newborn baby boy slowly appeared in front of the three.

Xiao Li leaned closer and took a good look at the baby boy. He had been crying at first, but now he was quiet and didn't make a fuss. The little guy's big eyes were exceptionally bright.

"Oh my, my little grandson is so well-behaved! He's bound to achieve great things in the future. Let Grandpa hold him!" Xiao Lin took the baby boy from the wet nurse.

"Yan'er, I'm your grandpa~olllllll~" Xiao Lin didn't look like a clan leader at all at this moment, but more like a playful and lively grandpa.

"Xiao Zhan, what's this little guy's name?" Xiao Li asked excitedly. Although he already knew the answer, he still wanted to hear Xiao Zhan tell him in person. Xiao Li's lips kept curving upwards.

"Xiao Yan".

Xiao Li couldn't suppress the smile on his face: "Xiao Yan? What a good name. I believe this child's future achievements are immeasurable."

"Hmm~ I also think this child is very good."

Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice came, which startled Xiao Li and Xiao Lin. The voice appeared behind them without warning, and Xiao Li immediately turned around.

There was a man who looked to be around forty years old, dressed in simple linen clothes. He appeared to be an ordinary middle-aged man with a slight smile on his face, which made people feel a little at ease.

This person is definitely not from the Xiao family. Xiao Lin knows everyone in the Xiao family very well, and this person is definitely a strong individual.

Xiao Li, however, had a solemn expression. Who exactly was this person?

"Who are you? Is it not rather impolite of you to enter the backyard of my Xiao family like this?" Xiao Li roared.

"Hehe, I was being presumptuous. It's just that I haven't seen an old friend for a long time, and now that I have some free time, I've come to see how he's doing."

I never expected that after the bloodline of the former Dou Di was abandoned, the Xiao Clan would still produce such an outstanding young man. Three-star Dou Zun, bone age of twenty-six. Even the geniuses of my clan are probably not as good as you.

Oh~ I haven't introduced myself yet. My surname is Gu, and my given name is Yuan.

The middle-aged man in hemp clothing said with a smile.

Xiao Li was shocked. He hadn't expected Gu Yuan to come here. Fortunately, Gu Yuan had come. Xiao Li breathed a sigh of relief.

"Clan Chief Gu, I have been impolite. This is not the place to talk. Please, Clan Chief Gu, proceed to the main hall." Xiao Li said, cupping his fists to Gu Yuan, and then invited Gu Yuan to the main hall.

"No problem."

Xiao Lin and Xiao Zhan exchanged glances. Xiao Lin knew how strong his younger brother was. Since even his younger brother respected them so much, could it be an ancient clan?

"Zhan'er, put Yan'er next to Xiao Ya first, and you come with me!" Xiao Lin said anxiously.

"yes!"

. . . . . .

Main hall,

"Ah Long, serve tea!" Xiao Li invited Gu Yuan to the main hall, then looked at the steward Xia Yilong and informed him.

"Yes."

Before long, Gu Yuan was drinking the Xiao family's tea. As he savored the tea, he felt an indescribable sense of comfort.

Xiao Lin and Xiao Zhan both arrived. Xiao Lin clasped his hands in a fist salute to Gu Yuan and asked, "Clan Chief Gu, what brings you to my Xiao clan?"

Gu Yuan leaned back in his chair: "Nothing much, just came to see the descendants of an old friend. Judging from your words and actions, you must know quite a bit."

Xiao Li said expressionlessly, "Of course I know some of it. It all comes from an ancient jade heirloom in my family. I was lucky enough to trigger a restriction on the ancient jade, which contained a projection of the soul left by my ancestor Xiao Xuan."

I've learned quite a few secrets. The ancient clan chief came for the ancient jade, right? I'll tell you now.

"No, no, no." Gu Yuan interrupted Xiao Li: "I have no interest in that jade. I just didn't expect Brother Xiao Xuan to have such a backup plan back then. It's really amazing. Actually, I just came to see how the Xiao family is doing today."

"The atmosphere here is wonderful. I feel much more relaxed in the clan, and I haven't had this much leisure in a long time, Clan Chief Xiao."

Xiao Li interrupted, "Uh, Clan Chief Gu, I'm not the Clan Chief of the Xiao Clan, my elder brother is!"

Gu Yuan's gaze shifted from Xiao Li to Xiao Lin, then swept back and forth between them. "One is a three-star Dou Zun, the other a six-star Dou Huang. The patriarch's position can be held by a Dou Huang? It seems the Xiao family has quite a good reputation."

Gu Yuan coughed lightly, "Ahem, Clan Chief Xiao, I think the atmosphere in the Xiao family is quite nice. I'd like my daughter to stay here for a while. There's a lot of pressure in my clan, and I only have one daughter. I want her to have a happy childhood. What do you think?"

Xiao Lin hesitated and said, "This..."

"Sure, this won't be a problem for our Xiao family. But Patriarch Gu, please arrange for proper guards. Otherwise, if anything happens to the young lady, we can't afford the consequences," Xiao Li readily agreed.

Gu Yuan smiled with satisfaction: "Hehe, what need is there for guards? With your cultivation levels, can't you protect my daughter? That's settled then, I will send my daughter to you in a few years."

After Gu Yuan finished speaking, he stood up and greeted Xiao Lin and Xiao Li with a fist and palm salute.

Xiao Lin and Xiao Li returned the greeting, and then Gu Yuan left. Even Xiao Li didn't notice how Gu Yuan left.

"As expected of a late-stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng expert, he's terrifyingly powerful!"
