Malicious Terms

When Xiao Yan first heard Gu Yu's proposed solution, he naturally dismissed it with scorn. But after hearing the final sentence, he was tempted.

He had originally come to the Ancient Clan today prepared to fight to the death.

Before he and Xiao Ding entered the Ancient Clan, they had already arranged for his sister-in-law, Lu Qing, to act alone and notify Xiao Yi Xian of everything happening here. Xiao Yan's request was that, if she had the capacity to do so, Xiao Yi Xian should take all the Xiao Clan members away and hide them somewhere secluded.

Xiao Yan knew that once he made a move within the Ancient Clan, he would undoubtedly draw the attention of most of the clan. With Xun Er's previous help, Xiao Ding had also gained a considerable understanding of the Ancient Clan's passageways. Sending some of the clan members out was entirely feasible.

The reason Xiao Yi Xian, Qing Lin, and the others had been able to arrive at the Ancient Clan one after another was also because Xiao Ding had explored the way in advance. Otherwise, a force as powerful as the Ancient Clan would never have allowed them to barge in so freely.

As for Xiao Ding and Xiao Zhan, both had firmly made the same decision as Xiao Yan: if Xiao Yan did not leave, neither would they!

Now that Xiao Yan had personally avenged his second brother, Gu Yao was dead. More importantly, too many people had been dragged into this. Neither Xiao Yi Xian nor Qing Lin was someone Xiao Yan could easily abandon. Besides, if they truly died here, his child—whom he had yet to meet—would lose both father and mother at once.

Not to mention the many Xiao Clan members, his father, and his eldest brother.
