Grandpa Was Making His Move

To be honest, Xiao Zhan was still in a daze until Ling Miao finished speaking.

After all, he had never encountered such a windfall before.

In fact, before this, the only thing Xiao Zhan knew was that his father had sent him to the Gu Clan in the name of the Xiao Clan, with the purpose of securing those two Heavenly Tomb slots.

For the past thousand years, with the decline of the Xiao Clan, the quota for the Heavenly Tomb has actually been controlled by the Gu Clans.

However, the Xiao Clan did so partly to escape the Hun Clan's pursuit, and partly because their own strength was truly insufficient. Therefore, it was understandable that the spot in the Heavenly Tomb fell into the hands of the Gu Clan.

After all, you can't expect the Xiao Clan not to come, leaving those two spots for entering the Heavenly Tomb vacant, can you?

Since it's a waste anyway, what difference does it make who gets it?

Now that the Xiao Clan has returned, they just need to get those two Heavenly Tomb slots back.

The Xiao Clan couldn't come to the Heavenly Tomb on their own before, as the quota was controlled by the Gu Clans, and no one in the Xiao Household had any resentment.

This is a perfectly normal thing.

Even if the Hun Clan had previously taken over the Xiao Clan's spots to enter the Heavenly Tomb, the Xiao Household had no complaints.

However, even after regaining the two Heavenly Tomb slots belonging to the Xiao Clan, Xiao Zhan was still very conflicted.

Because he had three sons, but only two of them could enter the Heavenly Tomb.

He was torn between having children he loved dearly and having children he loved dearly.

And his three children, they were still deferring to each other...

Then, while he was struggling with this decision, it happened.

The Xiao Household and the Ling Clan have no connection whatsoever. Why would Dou Sheng Elder from the Ling Clan come to the Gu Clan just to transfer two spots for entering the Heavenly Tomb to the Xiao Household?

This sounds absolutely outrageous!

Although this Ling Clan Dou Sheng named Ling Miao not only seems to have a close relationship with the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, but is also the teacher of my second son, there's no need for her to go to such lengths Elder, is there?

How could a disciple from another ethnic group be as close as someone from his own?

Even if the other party truly favored the disciple, wouldn't the other members of the Ling Clan object?

It could be said that this is precisely why countless question marks have popped into Xiao Zhan's mind!

"Hey~, wait a minute! I remember Dad told me before that I didn't need to worry about Ding'er, Li'er, and Xiao Yan entering the Heavenly Tomb..."

Could it be that Dad pulled the strings behind the scenes?

But why does Father have the ability to influence the Ling Clan's decisions?

What kind of relationship does he have with the Ling Clan?

Dad, how many secrets are you still hiding from me?

Just then, Xiao Zhan suddenly remembered something from earlier.

At first, he didn't understand what his father meant by telling him not to worry, but now, all his doubts have been resolved.

At that time, it seemed that his father already knew that the Ling Clan was going to transfer the quota for entering the Heavenly Tomb to the Xiao Household.

However, after this doubt was resolved, even more questions arose in Xiao Zhan's mind!

For Xiao Zhan, this was like solving one puzzle, but then adding three more...

"A-Zhan, is that Dad?"

Yang Xiyue naturally realized what was happening and immediately looked at her husband.

"Well, besides Dad, I can't think of any other possibility."

Xiao Zhan nodded in response to his wife's confusion.

Then, the couple fell silent.

On the other side, after exchanging a glance, the brothers Xiao Ding and Xiao Li also revealed a knowing look in their eyes.

"So that's how it is! No wonder Grandpa told us back then that we didn't need to worry about the Heavenly Tomb. Was it because he had already discussed with the teacher about transferring the Ling Clan's quota to our Xiao Household?"

In that case, the three of us brothers really don't need to be modest about it anymore.

"Yes, Grandpa really thinks far ahead!"

At this moment, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li couldn't help but sigh.

As Lingmiao's disciple, and having personally witnessed his teacher leading four members of his clan to evade the Soul Clan's pursuit, Xiao Li naturally already knew that the Spirit Clan had been destroyed.

If Xiao Li knew, how could Xiao Ding not know?

The two brothers realized that the Ling Clan had been wiped out, and now, apart from Ling Miao, the remaining four members of the Ling Clan were only at the Dou Zong. Indeed, these two Heavenly Tomb slots were of little use to them.

Normally, either Ling Miao doesn't show up, or the quota for the Ling Clan to enter the Heavenly Tomb is controlled by the Gu Clan.

If Ling Miao were to intervene, it seems the other party would simply transfer the two spots for entering the Heavenly Tomb to the Xiao Household!

All of this seems quite reasonable!

"Big brother, second brother, what are you talking about? Besides being second brother's teacher, did that Elder Ling Miao of the Ling Clan also join the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace?"

Furthermore, wasn't Elder Ling Miao considering transferring the Ling Clan's Heavenly Tomb quota to the Xiao Household because of you, Second Brother?

From what you're saying, it sounds like you're bringing up Grandpa again?

What exactly is the situation right now?

If Xiao Zhan and Yang Xiyue, along with the brothers Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, knew some of Xiao Lin's situation, then poor Xiao Yan was completely bewildered!

In Xiao Yan's mind now, his grandfather was just a Dou Wang with outstanding Formation skills.

My grandfather must have gained a certain status and connections in the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, a sect that focuses on the cultivation of Formation, by virtue of his considerable Formation skills.

Xiao Yan had always thought so...

However, from the few words his eldest and second eldest brothers were exchanging, it seemed that some other incredible information had been revealed!

My grandfather, a mere Dou Wang with exceptional Formation skills, could possibly influence Dou Sheng Elder of the Ling Clan?

Isn't this a bit far-fetched?

At this moment, Xiao Yan realized that after lifting one layer of the veil from his grandfather, his grandfather's figure seemed to become even more blurred!

"Well... Xiao Yan, you should find an opportunity to ask your grandfather yourself, or investigate it yourself. We can't reveal anything to you!"

Meeting Xiao Yan's gaze, the Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, looked away somewhat guiltily.

The suspicious behavior of his two older brothers deepened Xiao Yan's suspicions.

"Ha, so you want me to find Grandpa's secret on my own again?"

Xiao Yan was quite displeased.

But what could he do when his older brothers were right in front of him?

Then, the brothers Xiao Ding and Xiao Li gave their younger brother a "that's how it is" look!

Of course, apart from Xiao Yan's family, everyone else was also stunned by Ling Miao's decision.

"What's going on with the Ling Clan?"

"Even though the Ling Realm had been declared closed, a Dou Sheng Elder from the Ling Clan appeared in the Gu Clan. Suspected of having an unusual relationship with the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, he even specially transferred the Ling Clan's Heavenly Tomb quota to that declining Xiao Clan?"

"What is the Ling Clan's purpose in doing this?"

"Who knows what the Ling Clan are thinking!"

"It's better to just stay in our own Ling Realm; this is completely unnecessary!"

"Furthermore, could the Ling Clan possibly have some connection with the declining Xiao Clan? Otherwise, why would they bestow a spot in the Heavenly Tomb upon them?"

"Um, could it be something like 'misery loves company'?"

"Why should we care so much? No matter what, the quota for the Ling Clan to enter the Heavenly Tomb is not going to fall to us!"

"That's true, it doesn't affect us at all, we can just watch the show."

The discussions among the Emperor Clans began once again.

The Gu Clan members present were all speechless and silent after hearing Ling Miao's words.

But these are the Heavenly Tomb slots reserved for the Ling Clan, so there's not much they can say about it.

The three members of the Hun Clan kept glancing at the Xiao Household, the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, and Ling Miao.

Judging from their shifty eyes, you could tell they were probably up to something bad.

"What, is it not allowed?"

Seeing the silence of the Gu Clan members, Ling Miao calmly spoke again and asked a question.

Seeing this, the members of the Gu Clan exchanged glances before Gu Nanhai finally spoke up, saying, "Of course, no problem!"

With Gu Nanhai's words finished, there was no longer any doubt about the matter!
