After putting the Black Thunderlight Stone into his Storage Ring, Cousin Mo Yu no longer felt like investigating the Dou Qi Pavilion. He turned around and walked out.

As he approached the heavy doors, more than a dozen cold-faced Guards stood firmly blocking the entrance. In the corner by the doors, an expressionless Old Man sat upright in a chair, holding a pen and a thick ledger.

At that moment, quite a few Clan Members were lined up in front of the Old Man. Each of them took out the Dou Qi Cultivation Method they had found and handed it over for registration. Only then did they squeeze through the tiny gap under the Guards' icy scrutiny.

This was the procedure for leaving the Dou Qi Pavilion, mainly to prevent the Cultivation Methods from being leaked outside.

Although these Cultivation Methods were beneath notice in Mo Yu's eyes, in Wu Tan City, they were treasures countless people dreamed of obtaining.

After waiting at the back of the line for a while, it was finally Mo Yu's turn. He stepped forward, took the Cultivation Method scroll from his robe, and handed it to the Old Man.

The Old Man took the silver-white scroll Mo Yu handed over and froze slightly. After sizing Mo Yu up, admiration appeared in his Eyes.

After registering the Cultivation Method, the Old Man returned it to Mo Yu and looked at him curiously. "You're the Genius who recently rose to prominence in the Xiao Family, aren't you? Not bad, not bad. You're a fine young man. The Clan Head didn't misjudge you.

"This Thundering Lightning Technique is the highest-grade Lightning Element Cultivation Method in the family. As long as you work hard and devote yourself to it, your future achievements will be limitless."

Mo Yu casually nodded and put away the Cultivation Method. Just as he was about to leave, the corner of his eye suddenly caught sight of two inseparable figures, one black and one green.

They were Xiao Yan and Xun'er.

Seeing this, Mo Yu stopped as well. He moved to the side, leaned against the doors, and waited for the two of them to finish registering.

Xiao Yan and Xun'er seemed to notice Mo Yu's actions too. They smiled and nodded, then quickened their pace considerably.

Before long, the two of them had also finished registering.

"Cousin Mo Yu, you look like you're in a good mood. What is it? Did you find a suitable Cultivation Method in the family? Actually, Xun'er has many excellent Cultivation Methods too. If Cousin Mo Yu doesn't mind, Xun'er can even offer you a Profound Tier High-Grade Lightning Element Cultivation Method."

Noticing the faint smile at the corner of Mo Yu's mouth, the perceptive Xun'er assumed he had obtained a fairly high-grade Cultivation Method from the family.

She did not understand why the usually mysterious Mo Yu would take an interest in the Cultivation Methods of the declining Xiao Family, but she still spoke kindly.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan, who stood beside her, did not show any jealousy. He knew that Xun'er was doing all this for him.

Mo Yu had accompanied and encouraged Xiao Yan throughout the three years when he had fallen into a slump. This kindness was not only toward Xiao Yan; to Xun'er, it was a kindness as well.

As for whether Xun'er could produce a Profound Tier High-Grade Lightning Element Cultivation Method, Xiao Yan had no doubts. Just moments ago, the little girl had tried to give him a Profound Tier High-Grade Fire Element Cultivation Method, but he had refused.

Hearing this, Mo Yu froze. He then realized that his delight at obtaining the Black Thunderlight Stone had been misunderstood. He chuckled and said,

"I just happened to think of something happy. You two misunderstood. I don't need a Profound Tier High-Grade Cultivation Method for now, but thank you anyway, Xun'er.

"For that alone, Xun'er, you can rest assured. I'll keep an eye on Xiao Yan in the future and make sure he doesn't go flirting with other women."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Yu suddenly rubbed his chin, a mutter rising in his heart.

Aside from Xun'er, there are Ya Fei, Xiao Yi Xian, Medusa, Yun Yun, Qing Lin... Xiao Yan will provoke quite a few women in the future. I may not be able to keep an eye on all of them.

Could I really snatch them all away? He, Mo Yu, isn't that kind of person. Absolutely not.

Regarding the latter half of Mo Yu's joking remark, Xun'er and Xiao Yan looked at each other and smiled, both shaking their heads without taking it seriously.

Xun'er trusted Xiao Yan unconditionally. She also knew that he was not the lecherous type, so she was not too worried.

At that moment, Xiao Yan was focused entirely on cultivation. He was not particularly interested in matters between men and women either.

However, the first half of Mo Yu's words shocked both of them inwardly.

He rejected a Profound Tier High-Grade Cultivation Method so casually. Could Cousin Mo Yu be cultivating an Earth Tier Cultivation Method?

An Earth Tier Cultivation Method was something that could not be found even after searching the entire Jia Ma Empire.

It could be said that an Earth Tier Cultivation Method was practically a pass to becoming a Strong Person. A family could even prosper because of one!

If Mo Yu was truly cultivating an Earth Tier Cultivation Method, then as long as he did not fall, becoming a Dou Emperor would be just around the corner!

As for the even higher Heaven Tier, neither of them had even considered it. After all, even in the Ancient Clan, no more than a handful of people could cultivate a Heaven Tier Cultivation Method.

Old Yao inside Xiao Yan's body could not produce a Heaven Tier Cultivation Method either...

Mo Yu seemed to notice some of the shock in Xiao Yan and Xun'er's hearts, but he did not care. He waved his hand and chuckled. "Let's go. It's time to head back."

After leaving the crowded doors, Mo Yu took several breaths of fresh air. He had gained quite a lot from this trip.

"How did it go? Yan'er, Xiao Yu?"

Seeing the three of them emerge, a figure slowly walked over. His gaze remained fixed on the inside of the doors, but he asked with a smile in a lowered voice.

Turning his head toward the smiling Xiao Zhan, Xiao Yan smiled and nodded. A section of a dark-red scroll showed beneath his sleeve.

Only after seeing that dark-red color did Xiao Zhan sigh in relief. He then looked at Mo Yu expectantly.

Seeing this, Mo Yu likewise revealed a section of a silver-white scroll beneath his sleeve.

Upon seeing that both Mo Yu and Xiao Yan had obtained the strongest Cultivation Methods in the family, Xiao Zhan, the usually stern and unsmiling Clan Head, could not help letting out a proud laugh.

He extended his broad palms and patted Mo Yu and Xiao Yan on the shoulders. Xiao Zhan laughed and said, "Now that you have the Cultivation Methods, Xiao Yu, you've already broken through to Dou Zhe and can begin cultivating.

"And Yan'er, don't be anxious. Once you become a Dou Zhe, you'll be able to truly cultivate Dou Qi."

Mo Yu and Xiao Yan exchanged a glance, helpless smiles appearing in both their Eyes.

Xiao Yan knew that Mo Yu's Cultivation Method was definitely not ordinary, and it was very likely above the Earth Tier. Otherwise, he could not have casually rejected Xun'er's goodwill.

Mo Yu naturally also knew about Xiao Yan's future path. He would certainly choose that strange Flame Mantra.

Therefore, neither of them could accept Xiao Zhan's goodwill.

Before leaving, Xiao Zhan looked at Mo Yu again. An unreadable glint flashed through his Eyes before he said, "Oh, right, Xiao Yu. The family is holding a family gathering tonight. Be sure to come."

Seeing how solemn Xiao Zhan looked, Mo Yu had a faintly ominous feeling, but he still nodded.

"All right, Uncle. I'll arrive on time."
