Chapter 115 The Xiao family ancestors were once wealthy.

"Then, Brother Xiao Yan, and Clan Leader, Xun'er will take her leave."

With a smile and a wave of her hand, Xun'er left with a slight regret, but a happy heart.

Although we haven't fully uncovered Xiao Yan's secret, knowing about that flame is enough.

The Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame is a unique flame passed down through generations of the ancient clan. It was personally sealed within Xun'er's body by her father, Gu Yuan, using a secret formula, making it undoubtedly a treasure of the clan.

Xun'er came to the Xiao family to have a happy childhood and to uncover some secrets.

The Xiao family was once a powerful force on par with the Gu family, but they failed in their gamble and have fallen to their current state.

As the saying goes, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. It's normal for Xun'er to think that the Xiao family has some foundation, especially regarding Brother Xiao Yan.

With this flame and Xiao Yan's talent, the Xiao and Gu families are a good match, aren't they?

Humming a light melody in her heart, Xun'er slowly strolled away. Her rare moments of happiness in the Xiao family were always in front of her brother Xiao Yan, without exception.

Watching Xun'er's departing figure, Xiao Yan secretly relaxed. To be honest, he was a little nervous, even though Xun'er hadn't done anything.

But people can scare themselves to death, and Xiao Yan was also glad that someone came to interrupt this not-so-good night.

"Father, did you need to see me?"

Facing his father, Xiao Yan asked with some curiosity. Since he became independent, his father had always respected him and rarely came to his room in private.

However, Xiao Yan had a rough idea of ​​what was going on, so it wasn't surprising that he came this time.

"Well, it's been a long time since my son and I had a private conversation. It's time to talk about some personal matters."

Xiao Zhan still had the scene of Yan'er and Xun'er meeting in private in his mind, but he quickly put it out of his mind.

They were childhood sweethearts, let nature take its course.

"Personal matters? Father is just curious about my talent, isn't he? I've already told you your son is a genius."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan immediately laughed exaggeratedly. To be honest, he didn't want to expose his teacher, and his teacher had no intention of showing himself and had been hiding.

Anyway, he was a genius before, and that excuse is enough to explain everything.

"Of course I know you're a genius, Yan'er, but there are some things—"

Xiao Zhan opened his mouth, hesitating whether to speak out about the things he had heard before.

"What's wrong, Father?"

Xiao Yan keenly noticed Xiao Zhan's hesitation and immediately pressed him for an answer.

"Well—" With a sigh, Xiao Zhan sat down on the edge of the bed and gestured for Xiao Yan to come over. "Yan'er, do you know why Xun'er came here?"

"Why!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan hopped over to Xiao Zhan's side like a rabbit, his curiosity practically overflowing.

He desperately wanted to know Xun'er's situation and the truth behind the teacher's ever-present enigmatic mask.

"It's very simple. Our Xiao family is said to have had a prosperous past, but we don't know the specifics."

Xiao Zhan closed his eyes, recalling the words his father, Xiao Lin, had spoken to him before his death, when he called him to his bedside.

"It is said that in the Xiao family in the past, even Dou Huang and Dou Zong were not qualified to guard the gate. In fact, such strong people were just juniors in the clan. Compared with them, the Jia Ma Empire was a tiny place."

Due to an accident, the Xiao family declined year after year, and eventually had no choice but to retreat to Wutan City.

At its peak, the Xiao family and Xun'er's backers were said to be on equal footing, which is why Xun'er came here.

But besides that, I know nothing else; that's all my father told me.

"Were our ancestors once wealthy?"

Xiao Yan was stunned. In Wutan City, where a Great Dou Master could be considered a powerful figure, the Xiao family was still considered a weak and insignificant force.

"So why did it decline?"

"I don't know. I just heard my father say that it's something like blood relations, but it's all very confusing."

At this point, Xiao Zhan looked at Xiao Yan, his gaze becoming serious.

"Yan'er, what's wrong with that flame of yours? Is it—"

Xiao Zhan was eager to know whether Xiao Yan had awakened the so-called bloodline passed down through generations.

"flame?"

Xiao Yan was stunned, then realized that his father thought he had awakened the Xiao family bloodline, but he knew he hadn't at all.

The flame was a gift from the teacher, a fruit given by him. Acknowledging it was the best reason, but there was no other explanation. Denying it might expose the teacher.

"I think so, right?"

Xiao Yan's acting skills kicked in instantly, and he spoke with a vague expression.

"I don't know the specifics of what happened. I only remember that after one cultivation session, I opened my eyes and saw flames coming out of my body. I was very surprised at first, but after calming down, I found that I could control the flames."

Looking back now, perhaps I just accidentally awakened some kind of bloodline?

Xiao Zhan remained silent, only casting his piercing gaze at Xiao Yan, his smile gradually widening.

"Hahaha, hahaha, good, very good, excellent! Yan'er, you are the hope of the Xiao family! Awakening, bloodline awakening, is this real?"

If that's the case, perhaps the three years of lost fighting spirit were a prerequisite for awakening. Now that three years have passed, hasn't there been an immediate change?

"Of course it's fake, Xiao Yanzi, you lie without even thinking."

Yao Chen's leisurely voice came over. In fact, he didn't care about being exposed now, since his strength was already greater than it had been at its peak.

"Teacher, shut up, I'm actually covering for you now!"

Xiao Yan muttered to himself, telling Yao Chen not to come out at this moment, otherwise it would disrupt his train of thought.

"Actually—" Yao Chen stroked his chin, "You don't need to hide it from me. Although I only have a soul left now, I've turned misfortune into blessing. I'm much stronger than before, so there's no need to hide it."

After learning about the future, Yao Chen didn't have any intention of seizing the opportunity in advance. After all, he was already invincible and could just follow the established path.

All matters, big and small, were left to Xiao Yanzi; he just needed to stand behind him.

"What do you mean?"

"It means you can slightly reveal my existence to boost the prestige of your Xiao family, and I can also take action."

"teacher----"

Xiao Yan was speechless. How could he not know that his teacher was willing to expose himself for his sake? His heart burned even hotter, making it hard for him to adapt.

"Don't use that strange tone. It's also because it's been almost a year, and I'm getting a little bored spending all day with a boring kid like you."

"Let me, your teacher, show off in front of others, and maybe even loosen up my muscles a bit."

Suppressing his excitement, Xiao Yan knew that saying anything more at this moment would be pointless, so he just muttered a complaint in his heart.

"Does the teacher still have any strength or bones?"

'

'

"Your words remind me of a bizarre joke."

"What joke?"

"I don't want to talk about it."

The next second, Yao Chen disappeared again, preparing to sort through his thoughts and prepare a good gift for the Xiao family.

As for whether or not to give Xiao Zhan some pointers, Yao Chen hesitated, wondering if he should interrupt Xiao Zhan's opportunity to break through to the Dou Huang realm.

Having heard no more of his teacher's voice, Xiao Yan continued talking to his father.

He had been practicing diligently for the past year, and it was time for him to reconnect with important people.
