They already have a chat group, why bother with the plot?

After a moment of silence, Xiao Yan raised his head.

He looked at Ling Yu, then took a step back and said very solemnly.

"Father!"

Ling Yu has done so much for him, what's wrong with calling him godfather?

Back in the day, bringing your own lunch to university was considered worthy of this phrase, let alone now.

Ling Yu was taken aback.

She looked at Xiao Yan in astonishment.

Really?

Seeing Xiao Yan's serious expression, which didn't seem like a joke, Ling Yu reached out, placed his hand on Xiao Yan's head, rubbed it, and said with a smile.

"My good son, I am very pleased with you."

On Yunlan Mountain, there is a loving father and a filial son.

Chapter 212 Green scales?

Feeling the pat on his head, Xiao Yan's lips twitched.

No, you can call me that all you want, but do you really treat me like your son?

Fortunately, Ling Yu didn't touch him for too long, which was still within Xiao Yan's psychological tolerance.

"Luckily you used a ruler. If you had used a halberd, I wouldn't have dared to call you godfather," Ling Yu joked.

Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback, but then he realized what was happening.

He remembered a saying from his past life.

Lu Bu among men, Red Hare among horses, and Fang Tian Huaji, he specializes in stabbing his adoptive father.

The Three Kingdoms period... it really brings back fond memories.

Thinking this, Xiao Yan looked at Ling Yu and said, "Brother Yu, I want to read the Spring and Autumn Annals."

Ling Yu: "..."

Is your Spring and Autumn Annals... right, oops, right, serious?

I let the wind blow on me for a while to cool down my body, which was a bit feverish after eating hot pot.

After Ling Yu's guidance, Xiao Yan became noticeably more confident.

He was never a coward.

Although the ancient clan, one of the eight ancient clans, sounds distant and unshakeable, Xiao Yan may well be able to contend with them in the future.

As the saying goes, fortunes can change in thirty years. He must strive to gain his father-in-law's approval before he turns forty and impress everyone!

"Don't panic when things happen. At worst, we can just go to the ancient clans to snatch people. It's not that difficult."

Noticing the change in Xiao Yan's state of mind, Ling Yu said with a smile.

Hearing Ling Yu's casual words, Xiao Yan's lips twitched.

If anyone else had said that to him, he would have thought they were an idiot.

But he trusted Ling Yu completely.

However, if we really go to the ancient clans to snatch people as Ling Yu said, we'd probably be humiliating our father-in-law...

Xiao Yan thought to himself.

"Brother Xiao Yan."

Gu Xun'er, who had been gazing out the door, called out softly upon seeing Xiao Yan and then walked over with light steps.

"Xun'er."

Upon seeing the newcomer, Xiao Yan's face lit up with a smile.

"Brother Xiao Yan, now that the three-year agreement is over, we should go back and say hello to Uncle Xiao."

Arriving beside Xiao Yan, Gu Xun'er gently took his hand and said.

"I really should go back and tell my father."

Xiao Yan nodded upon hearing this, and then his face showed emotion.

To be honest, he hadn't seen his father for three years.

I wonder how the Xiao family is doing now.

After thinking it over, Xiao Yan immediately extended an invitation to Ling Yu: "Brother Yu, are you busy next?"

"Let's go. Last time we went in a hurry, so this time I'll let you do my best to be a good host."

Ling Yu knew exactly what Xiao Yan meant, and smiled as he followed his words.

Xiao Yan was delighted upon hearing this.

"..."

Gathering everyone together and ignoring Yunshan and the others' attempts to persuade him to stay, Ling Yu tore through the void with one hand, instantly creating a spatial passage to Wutan City.

"The space in this world is really fragile."

Ling Yu muttered something to himself, but Little Fairy Doctor rolled her eyes at him.

He was also thinking about breaking through to the Dou Zong realm.

Because of her studies in alchemy, she has become somewhat lax in her cultivation, but it doesn't matter; she can advance in a matter of minutes by taking a poison pill.

One good thing about the Calamity Poison Body is that it has no bottlenecks.

Utan City

Xiao family

Three years have passed since Xiao Yan left.

During this period, the Xiao family, relying on the pills and reputation left behind by Xiao Yan, firmly maintained its position as the number one family in Wutan City.

This should have been incredibly popular.

But Xiao Zhan stood on the back mountain, gazing in the direction of Yunlan Sect, and let out a series of long sighs.

"Today marks the end of the three-year agreement. I wonder how Yan'er is doing." Xiao Zhan's tone was full of melancholy.

He suddenly regretted letting Xiao Yan agree to this three-year agreement.

That is, after all, the Yunlan Sect.

The only and most powerful sect in the Gama Empire.

It's fine if we lose, but if we win, there might be some underhanded tactics.

This caused Xiao Zhan to pace back and forth, completely exasperated.

He only regretted that he couldn't provide Xiao Yan with strong protection.

Suddenly

A snapping sound suddenly came from behind Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan quickly turned around, alert, and shouted, "Who's there!"

Then, to Xiao Zhan's astonishment, space shattered with a deafening roar, revealing a grotesque opening.

Then, a familiar figure stepped out from inside.

"Father!"

"Yan'er?!"

Xiao Zhan was shocked and looked at Xiao Yan who was walking quickly towards him in disbelief.

"Uncle Xiao."

Gu Xun'er, along with Xiao Yan, looked at Xiao Zhan and chuckled.

The sharp-eyed Xiao Zhan immediately noticed that the two were holding hands, and he was both surprised and pleased.

Yan'er is just like his father!

……

"Xiao Zhan, thank you for your help, senior!"

In the Xiao family hall, after listening to Xiao Yan recount the whole story...

Feeling a lingering fear, Xiao Zhan quickly came to Ling Yu, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed.

"Uncle Xiao, you're too kind."

"I only intervened slightly; the rest was up to Xiao Yan himself," Ling Yu said with a smile.

Xiao Zhan understood that although Ling Yu said that, without Ling Yu's help, Yunlan Sect would definitely not have let Xiao Yan leave so easily.

While feeling grateful, Xiao Zhan was also thinking about how to repay Ling Yu.

"Father, I am now a third-grade alchemist."

Just as Xiao Zhan was pondering, Xiao Yan's words made him stand up abruptly.

He looked at Xiao Yan in shock: "Yan'er, is what you said true?"

Xiao Yan smiled slightly and took out the third-grade alchemist badge certified by the Alchemist Branch in Canaan City.

Upon seeing the badge, Xiao Zhan's face immediately lit up with surprise and delight.

"Good, very good! It truly is a blessing upon the Xiao family!"

Xiao Zhan burst into laughter.

Lin Dong looked surprised upon hearing this.

She couldn't help but glance at Xiao Zhan again.

He seemed to have heard his grandfather say something similar.

"I have to thank Brother Yu for this. Without Brother Yu's help, I wouldn't have the strength and level I have today," Xiao Yan said.

This is no lie.

After all, many of the strange flames were sent by Ling Yu.

Otherwise, if he were to follow the prescribed path and cultivate a Yellow-rank technique step by step, he probably wouldn't be able to break through to the Great Dou Master even if given another three years.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan immediately made a decision.

The other party helped his son so much.

He should naturally thank the other party properly.

After expressing their gratitude, Ling Yu and the others decided to stay at the Xiao family's house for the night at Xiao Zhan's warm invitation.

Last time I came in a hurry and didn't have a chance to properly explore Wutan City, but this time I finally have the time.

It just so happens that Lin Dong and Little Mink are also very interested in this world.

In particular, Little Marten actually said to Ling Yu the profound truth: "The world is so big, I want to go and see it."

Afterwards, Ling Yu left a spatial mark on the other party, fearing that the other party might destroy him, and then released him.

What Ling Yu didn't expect was what kind of surprise Little Mink would bring him later.

"..."

"Brother Lin Dong, how old are you this year?"

Utan City

Xiao Family Visits the City

As the group walked through the largest market in Wutan City, Xiao Yan looked at Lin Dong beside him, whose expression was solemn and meticulous, and asked.

“17,” Lin Dong replied.

“I’m 18, call me ‘brother’ and let me hear it,” Xiao Yan said, pointing to himself.
