Xiao Yan's Suspicions

Xiao Zhan and Yang Xiyue were unaware of the past grievances between the Xiao Clan and the Hun Clan, but the three brothers, Xiao Ding, Xiao Li, and Xiao Yan, had been in Central Plains for so long that they certainly knew about them.

Therefore, Xiao Lin only told his three brothers about the Heavenly Tomb and the fact that the Xiao Household would also be going to the Gu Clan this time.

The three brothers actually knew more than Xiao Zhan and Yang Xiyue, so Xiao Lin didn't need to explain things to them.

"Grandpa, does that mean Dad and Mom will be coming to Central Plains with us next?"

Suddenly, Xiao Yan asked, as if he had just thought of something.

"That's right. Since our Xiao Household is preparing to appear before the other Emperor Clans, your father and mother, as the current patriarch and matriarch of the Xiao Household, naturally have to show up!"

Xiao Lin nodded and then spoke.

This is also why Xiao Lin would tell his son and daughter-in-law all the secrets of the Xiao Household.

Otherwise, wouldn't it have been enough for him to just tell the three brothers, Xiao Ding, Xiao Li, Xiao Yan, about this?

However, if the Xiao Household is to reappear before the other Emperor Clans and rightfully reclaim the Heavenly Tomb quota, then Xiao Zhan, as the clan leader, must step forward!

Although Xiao Zhan's strength is not as great as that of the other patriarchs of the Emperor Clans, his status is not inferior.

This provides a condition for equal dialogue.

Of course, after this incident, whether the Xiao Household will be destroyed or not is probably not of concern to the other Emperor Clan.

They might even personally destroy the Xiao Household!

However, before that, even if the other Emperor Clans were to save face for themselves, they would have to acknowledge Xiao Zhan's status as the head of the Xiao Household clan!

As for whether the other Emperor Clan will resort to underhanded tactics against the Xiao Household?

Well, sorry, who can outsmart Xiao Lin?

Therefore, Xiao Lin was not worried about any subsequent troubles that might arise after the Xiao Household appeared in front of the other Emperor Clans.

"That's wonderful! I was just wondering what reason I could use to bring my parents to Central Plains, and now it seems I don't need to look for one!"

Xiao Yan was naturally very happy about this.

In fact, he had long wanted to bring his parents to live with him in Central Plains.

After all, although the Northwest Continent is relatively remote, there are no powerful figures who can threaten his parents.

However, as his strength increased, Xiao Yan naturally wanted to keep his parents by his side so they could enjoy a peaceful and comfortable life.

The Northwest Continent isn't dangerous, but who can guarantee that the Soul Hall won't send even stronger forces there next time?

This time it was just a Xue He of the Fourth Heavenly Venerable, plus he just happened to get back in time. Otherwise, Xiao Yan felt that if the Lion Nether Sect and the Soul Hall joined forces to break through the Xuanhuang Fortress, the consequences would be unpredictable.

The reason Xiao Yan held onto this idea was mainly because he was unaware of just how cunning his grandfather, the sixth son, truly was...

If I had known, I probably wouldn't have worried so much about my parents.

And so, Xiao Zhan and Yang Xiyue, the couple, made a date to go to Central Plains with Xiao Yan and his two brothers next time.

However, before that, as the patriarch of the Xiao Household family, Xiao Zhan still had many things to arrange in advance.

Otherwise, if the clan leader were to be away from the Xiao Household for an extended period, wouldn't the Xiao Household descend into chaos?

He naturally had to arrange these things.

Therefore, Xiao Lin couldn't help but admire his own wisdom in getting rid of the burdens of the Xiao Household so early.

Otherwise, he would be the one swamped with work right now.

In addition, those going to Central Plains this time are not only the three Xiao Yan brothers, but also Xiao Zhan and Yang Xiyue; Medusa and Xiao Xiao are also going along.

It's worth noting that Medusa had long harbored the idea of venturing into Central Plains.

However, she was pregnant at the time, so it was naturally inappropriate for her to travel to such a dangerous place Central Plains.

Later, the Soul Hall began to secretly support the Lion Nether Sect in causing trouble in the Northwest Continent, which once again delayed Medusa's journey to the Central Plains.

As a result, things have dragged on until now.

But coincidentally, this time they actually had the opportunity to go to Central Plains as a whole family.

At this point, everything was basically settled.

Next, they all had to start dealing with various matters before heading to Central Plains.

Of course, it mainly involved Xiao Zhan and Yang Xiyue, as well as Medusa.

The three of them consisted of two chiefs and a matriarch of their respective tribes, with the latter being the queen of the Snake-People Tribe.

Their departure clearly required various arrangements to be made in advance.

Another surprising thing is that Xiao Li will also bring his fiancée Yao Ye to Central Plains this time.

As for Xiao Ding, he naturally brought Xue Lan back from Central Plains, and he will bring her back this time as well.

Xiao Yi Xian goes wherever Xiao Yan goes.

In short, everyone involved was working intensively, while Xiao Lin was the most relaxed.

Xiao Lin originally planned to return to Central Plains with Xiao Yan and the others.

However, sometimes plans don't keep up with changes.

A message from the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace prompted Xiao Lin to return to Central Plains ahead of schedule.

As for the Xiao Household, everyone else seemed fine, but Xiao Yan was somewhat puzzled.

He had originally intended to test his grandfather again, but to his surprise, the day after he had this idea, his grandfather had already disappeared from the Xiao Household...

This made Xiao Yan extremely frustrated.

When he asked about his grandfather's whereabouts, his father gave him a rather perfunctory reply, "Your grandfather has gone to visit friends all over the Northwest Continent again."

Considering that the Northwest Continent had just been ravaged by the Lion Nether Sect, it seemed quite normal for my grandfather to visit his so-called friends at this time... what a load of rubbish!

Something's not right, absolutely not right!

He didn't realize it at first, but now he feels there's a serious problem.

What Xiao Yan felt was problematic was his grandfather's talk about making the Xiao Household reappear before the other Emperor Clans, and his subsequent plan to arrange a trip to the Heavenly Tomb for the three brothers.

Is it really possible for his grandfather, a mere Dou Wang, to accomplish something like this?

And he said it so calmly!

Why does his grandfather sound like Dou Sheng?

"Is it just my imagination? I always feel that Grandpa isn't as simple as he seems on the surface... But, based on the feedback from my Early Heavenly Realm Soul Power, Grandpa is Dou Wang!"

Could it be that Grandpa's Dou Qi cultivation is not only stronger than mine, but his soul realm has also surpassed mine?

How is that possible?!

While pondering his grandfather's unusual behavior in his room, Xiao Yan couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Of course, when Xiao Yan was guessing, he first ruled out the correct answer...

"By the way, I remember Grandpa said a while ago that he brought my eldest and second eldest brothers to a sect in Central Plains where one of his friends was. Now both of them are Dou Venerable. Doesn't that seem a bit abnormal?"

What kind of influence does Grandpa have to get my eldest and second eldest brothers into a sect that can train them to become Dou Venerable?

There aren't many forces in the entire Central Plains that could cultivate their eldest and second eldest brothers to the Dou Venerable in such a short time, are there?

So, in what capacity did Grandpa have to be connected with such a powerful force?

At this moment, the more Xiao Yan thought about it, the more abnormal things he discovered!

He hadn't investigated further at first, after all, he was his own grandfather.

But now, with so many abnormal things right in front of him, if he could still pretend he didn't know anything, wouldn't he be incredibly blind?

"No! I have to go ask my older brothers what's going on!"

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan finally couldn't hold back any longer and went directly to find his eldest and second eldest brothers.
