Leaving the Heavenly Tomb
"Ancestor, I won't be involved from now on. I'll leave the matter of Xiao Yan and the others to you."
After seeing that Xiao Yan had completed his blood transfusion and ended his seclusion, Xiao Lin was finally at ease.
As for stepping forward?
That's impossible!
He hasn't had enough fun yet!
Seeing the mischievous smile that flashed across Xiao Lin's face, Xiao Xuan shook his head helplessly.
Xiao Xuan realized that his junior was good in every way and made him feel satisfied.
However, his personality and hobbies are really hard to admire!
However, this was a matter between the grandfather and grandson, and he couldn't be bothered to interfere.
Anyway, he wasn't the one who got scammed, right?
"Whatever you want. So, are you planning to stay here for a few more days, or are you leaving?"
Although Xiao Xuan asked the question in this way, he already had a clear idea in his mind.
After all, there isn't much time left before the Heavenly Tomb closes.
Xiao Lin had done everything he was supposed to do.
When his ancestor asked, Xiao Lin remained silent for a while.
But he also knew that there was nothing more he could do if he stayed in the Heavenly Tomb.
However, after spending so much time together, the thought of parting ways and leaving his ancestor all alone in the Heavenly Tomb inevitably stirred a sense of sorrow in Xiao Lin's heart.
In fact, having spent so much time with his ancestor, Xiao Lin had already gained a certain understanding of his personality.
To be honest, in my previous life, opinions on Xiao Xuan's attempt to break through to the Dou Emperor Realm by gathering the power of his entire clan were also mixed.
Those who belittle him believe that he was too arrogant, which led to the Xiao Clan's eventual destruction by the Hun Clan.
If he doesn't attempt to reach the Dou Emperor Realm, he should have no problem surviving until the start of the Original Work story.
Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi are the best examples of this.
They might even live for at least another one or two thousand years!
Xiao Xuan was of the same generation as the two, and their cultivation levels were similar, so their lifespans would naturally be long.
Therefore, it is not wrong to say that Xiao Xuan's decision caused the Xiao Clan to decline prematurely.
However, this is actually just like a penalty kick at a crucial moment in a football match.
Without immense perseverance and courage, who would dare to gamble with their decisive kick?
It's important to understand that Xiao Xuan at that time didn't have a god's-eye view, nor did he know that breaking through to the Dou Emperor Realm required Origin Qi.
Therefore, it is unreasonable to pin the blame for the decline and destruction of the Xiao Clan on him.
In the process of getting along with his ancestor, Xiao Lin naturally felt the unique personal charm of the other party.
It can be said that Xiao Xuan's demeanor is so convincing that it easily inspires trust!
If even Xiao Lin was like this, then one can only imagine how the Xiao Clan members were a thousand years ago.
Furthermore, judging from Xiao Xuan's self-sacrifice in the Original Work to help Xiao Yan succeed, he was still a rather proud person!
Thinking that such a person would have to silently endure torment in the Heavenly Tomb again, Xiao Lin felt a pang of unease.
Seeing Xiao Lin's silent expression, Xiao Xuan quickly guessed what his junior was thinking.
"Hey Xiao Lin, you're not actually pitying me, are you?"
Xiao Xuan raised an eyebrow and suddenly asked with a hint of teasing.
"How could that be? Ancestor, do you think I'm that kind of person?"
Xiao Lin vehemently denied this.
Even if he really thought that, he wouldn't admit it!
"Yes!"
However, Xiao Xuan's affirmative answer made Xiao Lin's lips twitch.
No, has his image in the eyes of his own ancestors become like this?
After exchanging a few more jokes and chats, the sentimental atmosphere before parting gradually dissipated.
"Alright, go ahead and do whatever you need to do! I promised to keep this 20-year agreement, and I will definitely keep it! I'm still waiting for the day you described to me earlier!"
At this moment, as the ancestor, Xiao Xuan's face showed only care and encouragement for his descendants.
"Ancestor... Alright, I understand! Well then, Ancestor, I do have something very important to attend to, so I'll take my leave now!"
I will definitely come to pick you up within 20 years!
Before that, I hope you will take good care of yourself!
Xiao Lin said with an extremely solemn expression.
"Alright, stop dawdling. Go on, your three precious grandsons are already looking for me."
When Xiao Xuan said those words, he turned his back to the camera.
Before parting, Xiao Xuan didn't want his juniors to see the expression on his face.
He didn't know why, but despite being his juniors, he could control his emotions well in front of Xiao Yan, Xiao Li, and Xiao Ding, yet in front of Xiao Lin...
"Yes... Ancestor, take care!"
After nodding, Xiao Lin once again clasped his hands in a fist salute to his ancestor and then bowed slightly.
"Buzz~"
As Xiao Lin finished speaking, his figure began to blur.
When the spatial ripples disappeared, Xiao Lin's figure vanished along with them...
Only after Xiao Lin left did Xiao Xuan silently turn around once more.
At this moment, one could finally see a hint of reluctance on Xiao Xuan's face.
"Xiao Lin, I believe in you, you definitely won't let me down!"
A murmur came from Xiao Xuan's mouth.
For the first time, Xiao Xuan found himself suddenly becoming sentimental.
Perhaps this is what it feels like to have expectations for the future?
That's what Xiao Xuan was thinking.
At the same time, after leaving Xiao Xuan's tomb, Xiao Lin's figure once again appeared in front of the lonely tombstone at the deepest part of the Third Layer of the Heavenly Tomb.
"Ancestor, wait! Your resurrection won't be too late!"
"Crunch~"
With his fists clenched, Xiao Lin gazed deeply at the lonely tombstone before making a vow.
"Call out"
Then, Xiao Lin's figure transformed into a streak of light and departed from the deepest part of the Third Layer of the Heavenly Tomb.
We traveled all the way to the entrance of the third level, then the second level, the first level, and finally exited the Heavenly Tomb...
Just like when he entered, Xiao Lin left the Heavenly Tomb without alerting anyone guarding its entrance.
After Xiao Lin left the Heavenly Tomb, Xiao Xuan appeared directly in front of Xiao Yan, Xiao Li, Xiao Ding, Xun'er, who were searching for him.
At this moment, Xiao Xuan had naturally suppressed all the emotions he had felt after Xiao Lin left!
"Ancestor!×3"
"Senior Xiao!"
The moment Xiao Xuan appeared, the four of them shouted in surprise.
"Hahaha, not bad! It seems we have successfully activated the Dou Emperor Bloodline of my Xiao Clan!"
Xiao Xuan laughed heartily, a look of satisfaction on his face.
At the same time, upon seeing his ancestor, Xiao Yan immediately knelt down!
"Thank you for your kindness, ancestors!"
Filled with gratitude, Xiao Yan prepared to kowtow to his ancestor on the spot.
Yes, it's not shameful to pay homage to your own ancestors!
Moreover, the help my ancestors gave me this time was truly immense!
