"Thankfully, Little Fei, Senior Brother, and my teacher have all looked after me."
Xiao Yan replied with a smile.
"That's good."
Xiao Zhan could tell that his son wasn't forcing himself to act strong.
So he relaxed considerably.
But once he had relaxed, he found himself unsure what to ask next.
"Father, do you have any idea what those people wanted the Jade Fragment for?"
Seeing that Xiao Zhan had fallen silent, Xiao Yan took the initiative to change the subject.
Xiao Zhan glanced at Medusa and Nalan Yanran beside them.
Medusa understood at once and led Nalan Yanran away, giving the father and son some privacy.
"Yan'er, since you're already a Dou Emperor, I won't hide it from you. Our Xiao Clan has passed down a Jade Fragment, which serves as the family head's token."
Xiao Zhan explained what he knew.
"After it was imbued with power, the Jade Fragment could detect whether the family head was still alive. Aside from that, it had no special properties."
"But now, it seems our clan may have lost sight of its true purpose as it was passed down."
Anything that would make a Dou Zong go to such lengths couldn't possibly be ordinary.
Xiao Zhan felt somewhat relieved.
Thankfully, he had worried that the Xiao Clan's rapid growth would attract the covetous attention of unscrupulous people.
So he had hidden away some important items, including the Jade Fragment.
"Yan'er, come back with me later. I'll give you the Jade Fragment to keep safe."
Xiao Zhan offered.
Right now, handing it over to Xiao Yan was the safest option.
The same went for the Jade Fragment and Xiao Yan.
As long as the Jade Fragment didn't fall into enemy hands, even if this happened again, those people in the shadows wouldn't dare
