Just as Old Man Shennong finished speaking, a rift slowly appeared in the void above Starfall Pavilion.
Three figures then slowly stepped out of it.
The newcomers were Yao Wanhuo, Yao Ling, and Yao Tian.
Yao Wanhuo wore a smile.
"Old friend..."
"I never imagined your perception would still be as keen as ever..."
Old Man Shennong smiled faintly as well. "It isn't really that my perception is keen..."
"Your aura is simply far too conspicuous. It would be difficult not to notice..."
Yao Wanhuo stroked his beard. "You old fellow..."
"Haven't you always preferred living in seclusion? What put you in the mood to join Starfall Pavilion?"
Old Man Shennong replied calmly, "That wasn't my original intention..."
"But my disciple needed my help, so these old bones of mine had no choice but to leave seclusion..."
At those words, Yao Wanhuo's eyes shifted slightly. He smoothly turned his gaze toward Yao Xuan and said:
"Oh? In that case..."
"If Yao Xuan returned to the Yao Clan, would you be willing to join our clan with him?"
A peculiar glint flickered through Old Man Shennong's eyes when he heard this.
"That is something I could consider..."
"But only if my disciple is willing to return to your Yao Clan..."
Yao Wanhuo then cut straight to the chase and made the purpose of his visit clear.
"Yao Xuan..."
"Now that we've said this much, I imagine you know why we've come?"
Although Yao Xuan still had no intention of returning to the Yao Clan, he maintained a basic respect for Yao Wanhuo and replied calmly:
"Elder Wanhuo..."
"There is no need to bring up returning to the Yao Clan again. My mind is made up..."
"If that is why you came, then there is no need to say anything further, Senior..."
