Xiao Nian

Xiao Yan didn't keep them in suspense any longer, and chuckled as he uttered a name: "Yun Yun!"

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li didn't react for a moment. Xiao Li scratched his head and said, "Why does this sound so familiar?"

Xiao Ding nodded slightly and said, "That's right, Yun Yun? Could she be the Misty Cloud Sect Master?"

"Holy crap! No way?" Xiao Li looked at Xiao Yu in shock.

Xiao Yu didn't hide anything and nodded, saying, "Yes!"

The scene fell silent as Xiao Ding and Xiao Li struggled to process the overwhelming amount of information. After a while, Xiao Ding asked, "Where is the child's mother? Did anything happen to you at the Misty Cloud Sect?"

Xiao Yu shook his head slightly and said, "Nothing happened, but Yun Yun suffered some injuries and needs to recuperate. We'll take her back to Father for a check-up when we have the chance!"

Xiao Ding nodded slightly and said, "That's right, we should show it to Father. He'll be overjoyed to know he has a granddaughter!"

Xiao Li chuckled from the side, "That's right. There are four of us brothers. Father had hoped for a daughter, but now that we don't have one, he'd be happy to have a granddaughter, wouldn't he?"

Xiao Yan winked and teased, "That's not necessarily true. Maybe Father is still going strong, and with a little effort, we might even have a little sister!"

"Hahaha!" A burst of laughter immediately filled the room.

Suddenly, Xiao Yu's door was pushed open again, and a figure appeared in the doorway. The newcomer's face was slightly dark, and he shouted angrily after pushing open the door, "You bunch of brats, is this how you talk about your father behind his back?"

The group was slightly startled, turned around, and said with some surprise, "Father?"

The person who arrived was none other than Xiao Zhan, the head of the Xiao Clan family. This time, Xiao Zhan came to the Imperial Capital to cheer on Xiao Yan for the Three Year Pact.

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li looked at Xiao Zhan, their eyes slightly reddening, and respectfully called out, "Father!"

It had been several years since the father and son had last seen each other. Looking at Xiao Zhan Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, his eyes reddening, said, "Good, good children!"

Xiao Zhan patted them both on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You've suffered a lot these past few years in the Tagor Desert, haven't you?"

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li exchanged a glance and then laughed, "Actually, it's not bad, it's just that the environment is a bit harsh."

Xiao Zhan nodded slightly, then looked at Xiao Yan and said, "I'm here to cheer you on at the Misty Cloud Sect. How about it? I'm not too late, am I?"

Hearing Xiao Zhan's words, Xiao Yan was momentarily at a loss for words. Xiao Zhan also noticed the strange expressions on their faces and asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?"

Finally, Xiao Yan stepped forward and said, "Father, actually I just came down from the Misty Cloud Sect!"

"Just came down from the Misty Cloud Sect?" Xiao Zhan frowned slightly, then realized, "You mean, you've already competed with Nalan Yanran?"

Xiao Yan nodded and said, "That's right, I won!"

Xiao Zhan was slightly taken aback, then said with delight, "Good, good! You really haven't disappointed your father!"

Just then, the cry of a baby drew everyone's attention to Xiao Yu. Only then did Xiao Zhan notice that Xiao Yu, sitting in the corner, was holding a child in his arms.

Xiao Ding had no choice but to explain to Xiao Zhan, "Father, that's Little Yu's child!"

"What?" Xiao Zhan stood there in surprise, looking at Xiao Yu who was holding the child somewhat at a loss, and then exclaimed with joy, "That's my granddaughter?"

"Oh dear, quick, let me see!" Xiao Zhan stepped forward and took the child from Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Father, can you take good care of him?"

Xiao Zhan immediately flicked Xiao Yu on the forehead, glaring at him and saying, "I raised all four of you myself. If I hadn't raised you well, would you have grown up like this?"

Xiao Li couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "When we were kids, weren't the four of us brothers supporting each other? Otherwise, we would have starved to death long ago!"

Xiao Zhan glared angrily at Xiao Li, then looked at the crying child and said, "This little guy is hungry. Go find the child's mother right away!"

Xiao Yu frowned slightly and said, "Her mother is currently seriously injured and unconscious, so she probably can't come. Would animal milk be sufficient?"

Xiao Zhan asked in confusion, "This child isn't Xun'er's?"

Xiao Yu said somewhat awkwardly, "No, it's between me and Yun Yun!"

Xiao Li reminded him from the side, "It's that Misty Cloud Sect Master, the one who's Dou Emperor!"

Hiss!

Xiao Zhan gasped in surprise, then gave Xiao Yu a thumbs up and said, "You're amazing, kid. You managed to bring back the Misty Cloud Sect Master after just one trip?"

Xiao Yu could only smile wryly and say, "An accident, an accident!" Then he quickly ran out to buy animal milk!

Soon, Xiao Yu bought the animal milk and fed it to the child. The child finally stopped crying, and Xiao Zhan then asked, "Have you named the child yet?"

Xiao Yu frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Let's call her Xiao Nian!"

"Xiao Nian?" Xiao Zhan nodded after reading it aloud, "Good, that's a nice name. I have a granddaughter now!"

Xiao Yu smiled as he watched Xiao Zhan tease Xiao Nian. Suddenly, he sensed the aura of a Dou Emperor). He frowned slightly and said softly, "I'm going out for a bit!"

Xiao Yan and the others didn't ask any questions, they just nodded.

After leaving the room, Xiao Yu moved slightly and transformed into a black shadow, rushing towards the outside of the city. At present, his strength was still at the Peak Nine-Star Dou Zong. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at a forest.

With his eyes slightly closed, sensing the atmosphere here, Xiao Yu suddenly opened his eyes. A violent burst of energy rushed towards a certain direction. A black shadow suddenly appeared, stretched out his hands, and a surge of dark Dou Qi qi erupted out, blocking the energy!

With a loud bang, the dark figure appeared somewhat disheveled. Just as Xiao Yu was about to make a move, the figure quickly cried out, "Don't attack! I was sent by Miss Xun'er to protect your father!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu immediately withdrew the surging Dou Qi from his palm. Looking at the man in black before him, he asked, "Are you Ling Ying?"

Beneath the black robe, Ling Ying's dark and aged face was extremely surprised by the aura that Xiao Yu was currently exuding. Even more surprising was that he had actually revealed his name in one sentence!

"Yes, Young Master Xiao Yu!" Ling Ying said respectfully. He was impressed by Xiao Yu's strength. It was clear from that attack that Xiao Yu was definitely above Five-Star Dou Zong, and that was his conservative estimate!

"You've been protecting me these past two years, haven't you?" Xiao Yu asked with a smile.

"This..." Ling Ying was momentarily at a loss for words.

Xiao Yu didn't ask any further questions, but continued, "Did you come with your father?"

Ling Ying nodded and said, "Yes, the Xiao Clan was targeted by the Soul Hall some time ago, but I have already dealt with all the people sent by the Soul Hall!"

Xiao Yu nodded slightly. He knew Ling Ying's strength; as long as Wu Ying didn't intervene, Ling Ying could basically handle the situation.

"Thank you very much. Things are over here. The Soul Hall's Wu Ying is dead, and the Jia Ma Empire is basically safe. You can go and tell Xun'er that I'm leaving for the Jia Nan Academy immediately!"

Ling Ying quickly replied, "Yes, then, should I tell Miss Xun'er everything that's happened here?"

Xiao Yu knew he was referring to Yun Yun and the child. Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Tell me the truth! I'll explain myself!"

"Yes!" Ling Ying replied and then left.

Xiao Yu gazed in the direction Ling Ying had left, and after a long while, he sighed softly before turning and leaving as well.
