Young Clan Leader

After Xiao Yu finished speaking, her beautiful eyes lingered deeply on her younger brother. How could she not know that he had feelings for Xiao Xun'er? But when Xiao Yu recalled the intimate way Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Chen had looked earlier, she could only sigh helplessly. Then, Xiao Yu led the remaining Xiao Family members away from the Market.

When Xiao Chen and the others returned to the Xiao Family, he first said goodbye to Xiao Xun'er before returning to his own courtyard.

"Fei Er, this is your share of the profits from selling the Blood Recovery Pills."

Xiao Chen looked at Ya Fei, who was seated across from him, and explained as he took out a gold card. There were nearly one million Gold Coins on the card, all earned over the past few months through the sale of Blood Recovery Pills.

However, this was only the Mittel Auction House's share, since the Xiao Family and the Mittel Auction House were partners.

Hearing how Xiao Chen addressed her, Ya Fei cast him a coquettish glance. She then took the gold card from his hand.

"Fei Er, I may be leaving Wutan City soon to train elsewhere."

Xiao Chen rose from his chair and walked over to Ya Fei. He wrapped his arms around her and spoke softly.

He called it training, but in truth, Xiao Chen wanted to save more goddesses.

"Is that so? I may be leaving Wutan City soon as well, returning to the Mite'er Family. I have you to thank for all of this."

Upon hearing Xiao Chen's words, a smile appeared on Ya Fei's seductive face. Looking at his handsome features, she tightly embraced him as well and spoke reluctantly.

With Xiao Chen helping Ya Fei boost her performance, she was able to return to the Mite'er Family ahead of schedule.

"Xiao Chen, do you know about the Jia Ma Empire's Alchemist Convention?"

Ya Fei struggled free from Xiao Chen's arms, fixed her beautiful eyes on him, and spoke seriously.

"The Alchemist Convention!"

Hearing this, Xiao Chen was somewhat puzzled. Naturally, he knew about the Alchemist Convention, but in order not to expose his identity, he could only shake his head.

Ya Fei had been watching Xiao Chen's expression closely. Seemingly seeing that he truly did not know about the Alchemist Convention, she began to explain.

"Given your skills as an Alchemist, Xiao Chen, I believe you can definitely win this year's Alchemist Convention. When the time comes, big sister's future will depend on you."

After explaining, Ya Fei gave Xiao Chen a seductive smile. Her ample chest lifted slightly, displaying a tantalizing curve as she spoke in a soft, charming voice.

Hearing Ya Fei's words, seeing the faint glimpse of snowy whiteness before her chest, and listening to her alluring voice enter his ears, Xiao Chen felt heat rise within him. He then chuckled and said:

"Don't worry, Sister Ya Fei. Once I win this Alchemist Convention, I'll go to the Mite'er Family."

Xiao Chen did not finish his sentence, but Ya Fei understood what he meant. Still, hearing him deliberately emphasize the two words "big sister," she could not help but glare at him.

After chatting for another incense stick's worth of time, Xiao Chen took more than a hundred white Jade Bottles from his Cosmos Ring and placed them on the table as Ya Fei was about to leave. Looking at her gently, he said:

"Fei Er, there are some Qi Gathering Powders, Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquids, and other things inside. This is also the Pill Recipe for the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid."

Ya Fei looked at the white Jade Bottles on the table, then at the Pill Recipe Xiao Chen handed her. After taking it, she walked up to Xiao Chen and lightly kissed his lips.

Feeling the softness against his lips, Xiao Chen reached out and wrapped an arm around Ya Fei's slender Willow Waist. Breathing in her fragrance, he only slowly released her delicate body after a long while.

When Ya Fei left Xiao Chen's courtyard, her seductive face was flushed crimson.

Xiao Chen stood where he was and touched his lips. His dark eyes followed Ya Fei's departing figure, and an unusual gleam surfaced within them.

The next day.

Xiao Family, main hall.

Xiao Zhan and the Xiao Family's three elders sat separately in the hall, all their gazes fixed on Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen met their eyes in turn, though he was rather curious why Xiao Zhan had summoned him here.

"Elders, I propose that Chen'er become the Young Clan Leader of our Xiao Family. Do any of you have objections?"

After the silent atmosphere persisted for a moment, Xiao Zhan rose from his seat. He looked at Xiao Chen with gentle eyes and spoke with gratification.

"Our successful annexation of both the Gale Family and the Oba Family this time was all thanks to Xiao Chen. I have no objections."

"That's right. The crisis our Xiao Family faced in the Market was also resolved thanks to the Blood Recovery Pills Xiao Chen refined."

"Indeed. Although Xiao Chen's Cultivation is somewhat low, his true combat strength has made even us old fellows look at him in a new light."

As soon as he said this, the other three elders exchanged glances with their clouded eyes, their expressions filled with envy and gratification. After discussing it for a few moments, they all nodded in agreement.

Thus, with the recognition of the three elders and Xiao Zhan's full support, Xiao Chen smoothly became the Xiao Family's Young Clan Leader.

The Young Clan Leader was effectively the heir apparent. Once Xiao Zhan stepped down, Xiao Chen would become the true Clan Leader of the Xiao Family.

However, Xiao Chen stood where he was, listening as these old fellows settled his status with a few words each.

A little while later, after the three elders had left the hall, Xiao Zhan walked over to Xiao Chen. He patted Xiao Chen's shoulder, looked at him gently, and said:

"Chen'er, our annexation of the Gale Family and the Oba Family this time was all thanks to you. With this contribution, I was able to make you the Young Clan Leader of the Xiao Family. The Xiao Family's future will depend on you from now on."

Xiao Zhan paused, took out a jade pendant from his robes, handed it to Xiao Chen, and explained:

"This jade pendant is the token of the Xiao Family's Clan Leader. Take it."

Xiao Chen stared at the jade pendant Xiao Zhan had taken out. Upon hearing his explanation, his eyes nearly popped out.

However, Xiao Chen's shock lasted only an instant. He immediately calmed his surging emotions and respectfully accepted the jade pendant from Xiao Zhan.

The jade pendant emitted a strange, faint radiance. The peculiar patterns on its surface seemed to breathe, brightening and dimming from time to time. Xiao Chen could sense an ancient, primordial aura emanating from it.

This jade pendant was precisely the piece of the Tou She Ancient God Jade belonging to the Xiao Clan, one of the eight pieces.

Yet the Xiao Clan, once one of the eight ancient clans, had now become merely the Xiao Family of Wutan City in the Jia Ma Empire.

As for why he had obtained the Tou She Ancient God Jade so easily, Xiao Chen knew it was because Xiao Zhan had no idea what the jade pendant truly represented.

Xiao Zhan merely regarded it as a token of the Xiao Family's Clan Leader.
