A Century-Long Romance Finally Bears Fruit
After successfully winning over the Danta, Xiao Yan and Yao Lao naturally prepared to leave.
However, before his departure, Xuan Yi, one of the Pill Tower's Three Giants, also came to see him off in person.
Upon seeing Xuan Yi, Yao Lao's face showed a hint of embarrassment.
Thinking back to what happened three days ago when he was alone with Xuan Yi, Yao Lao didn't know where to look.
As for the Xuan Yi, she didn't act coy at all; on the contrary, she looked even more charming and alluring.
She first glanced at Yao Chen, who dared not look her in the eye, with a slight upturn of her lips, then turned her gentle gaze to Xiao Yan.
She's finding Xiao Yan more and more pleasing to the eye these days!
Without Xiao Yan's intervention, she and Yao Lao wouldn't have been able to take that step together.
Yes, the matter of bringing the Danta into the Heavenly Mansion Alliance was actually partly the result of a joint plan by Xiao Yan and Xuan Yi.
Just like in the Original Work, after Xiao Yan became one of the Elders of the Danta, his proposal to have the Pill Danta join the Heavenly Mansion Alliance, although met with some opposition, was not strong.
Especially after Xiao Yan gained the appreciation of Old Monster Lin, the Pill Tower Grand Elder, the passage of this resolution was practically a certainty.
It should be noted that the position of Tower Master has become vacant since Danta Pill Tower Ancestor stopped managing affairs and the former Little Pill Tower was killed by Hun Xuzi and other powerful members of the Hun Clan.
Old Monster Lin, the Pill Tower Grand Elder, holds the final decision-making power over all major events in the Danta!
It can be said that once he agrees to something, no one else can object.
As it happened, Xiao Yan suited Old Monster Lin's tastes perfectly, and Lin Laoguai did not object to his proposal to have the Danta join the Heavenly Mansion Alliance.
On the contrary, Old Monster Lin had long disliked the Soul Hall. If it weren't for the Hun Clan behind the Soul Hall, he would have wanted to directly gather everyone in the Danta to fight the Soul Hall to the death!
Xiao Yan's suggestion was exactly what he wanted to hear.
However, unlike the Original Work, something happened during that time...
That is, Xiao Yan, one of the Pill Tower's Three Giants Xuan Yi Tower, found Xiao Yan and wanted his help.
Just like the Fairy Qing of the Flower Sect.
If Yao Lao had remained alone forever, she wouldn't have had any expectations.
However, ever since he learned that the sly fox from Demon Saint Valley had settled down in the Starfall Pavilion, Xuan Yi felt unbalanced and his mind began to stir.
We agreed not to get married, so what's going on now?
The more Xuan Yi thought about it, the Xuan Yi. After a conversation with Fairy Qing Flower Sect, she decided to take the initiative!
However, even taking the initiative requires finding the right opportunity!
Then Xuan Yi just kept waiting and waiting.
Finally, Xiao Yan's visit to the Danta to persuade Danta to join the Heavenly Mansion Alliance gave Xuan Yi an opportunity.
As for Xiao Yan, he naturally already knew about Xuan Yi's deep affection for his teacher.
In addition, he gets particularly excited just thinking about being able to trick his teacher.
Therefore, he agreed to Xuan Yi's suggestion!
After some discussion, the two came up with a plan.
That is, Xiao Yan first asked Elder Old Monster Lin of the Pill Tower Grand Elder not to announce the matter of joining the Heavenly Mansion Alliance, and then let Xuan Yi use his influence within the Danta to prevent the proposal to join the Heavenly Mansion Alliance from being passed.
As one of the Pill Tower's Three Giants, Xuan Yi is essentially the face of the Danta.
At the same time, she was also a long-time friend of Xuan Kongzi and Tian Leizi.
Since she objected, the latter two naturally wouldn't disagree with her.
To put it bluntly, Xiao Yan and Xuan Yi deliberately increased the difficulty for the Danta to join the Heavenly Mansion Alliance!
Therefore, the ultimate goal is to lure Yao Lao back to the Danta.
As expected, after Xiao Yan sent back the news that his efforts to recruit the Danta into the Heavenly Mansion Alliance had not been successful, Yao Lao personally set out!
It's important to understand that Yao Lao's influence in the Danta is definitely no less than, if not greater than, that of Xiao Yan, the newly appointed Elder!
It can be said that most of the people in the Danta were his friends.
After Yao Lao arrived at the Pill Danta, Xiao Yan orchestrated a successful and in-depth exchange between him and Xuan Yi!
Following this in-depth exchange, Danta's joining the Heavenly Mansion Alliance was expedited without any suspense.
However, by now, Yao Lao had finally realized that he had been tricked by that brat Xiao Yan!
But now, in front of Xuan Yi, he naturally wouldn't show it.
Sure enough, Yao Lao has decided to go back and properly teach Xiao Yan what "respecting one's teacher and valuing the Way" truly means!
At this moment, Xiao Yan and Yao Lao were also saying goodbye to Xuan Yi.
To establish the Heavenly Mansion Alliance, the two of them would naturally have to travel around and couldn't stay in the Danta for long.
"Aunt Xuan... no, perhaps it would be more appropriate for me to call you Master Xuan Yi from now on?"
Xiao Yan glanced at his teacher with a mischievous grin, then spoke to Xuan Yi.
For this, Yao Lao glared at his troublemaking disciple, but in the end, he did not object to Xiao Yan's way of addressing Xuan Yi.
This already demonstrates the Yao Lao's attitude.
Seeing that the Yao Lao did not object, Xuan Yi smiled happily as well.
"Xiao Yan, your teacher is truly blessed to have a disciple like you. I'm so proud of you!"
Although Xuan Yi didn't respond to Xiao Yan's words, it was easy to tell from her slightly flushed cheeks that she was probably quite pleased with herself.
"Hehe! Master in Xuan Yi, you flatter me!"
Xiao Yan touched his nose somewhat embarrassedly as he answered.
"Alright, you two can go about your business now. I will personally visit the Starfall Pavilion on the day the Heavenly Mansion Alliance is officially established."
Although she was reluctant to let the two of them leave, Xuan Yi knew that she could not use her romantic feelings to trap her man.
"Well, Madam Xuan Yi, then my teacher and I will take our leave now!"
Xiao Yan respectfully bid farewell to Xuan Yi.
Although he is now Dou Sheng and stronger than Xuan Yi, she is still his future master's wife, so he naturally has to maintain sufficient respect for her!
You can't treat your teacher's wife the same way you treat your teacher!
Teachers are meant to be exploited, while teachers' wives are meant to be respected and obeyed.
Xiao Yan understood this very well.
Because Xiao Yan knew that his teacher would definitely be suppressed by his several mistresses in the future!
If he can please his teacher's wife, why would he need to be afraid of his teacher?
"Go ahead, and feel free to contact me anytime if you need any help."
Xuan Yi looked at Xiao Yan with a loving expression and said.
For Xiao Yan, Xuan Yi's affection was definitely extended to everything related to him!
She even fantasized about a future with Yao Lao where they would have a son as well-behaved and sensible as Xiao Yan!
At the same time, the Yao Lao, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, "... Xuan Yi, you don't necessarily have to wait until the Heavenly Mansion Alliance is established. You can come to the Starfall Pavilion anytime you have time..."
Having already made up his mind, and with Xuan Yi being so proactive, Yao Lao felt he had no reason to refuse her.
Just like he had advised Xiao Yan years ago.
How could he possibly bear the thought that one day, Xuan Yi might fall in love with someone else?
Although the possibility is very small, the only way to reduce the probability to zero is to accept the other party!
As soon as the Yao Lao finished speaking, the look of surprise on Xuan Yi's face became undisguised!
Because this means that he is no longer just wishfully thinking about it.
"Good!"
That single word was enough to express Xuan Yi's inner excitement.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan was genuinely happy for his teacher and Xuan Yi.
Their love affair has probably lasted for a century.
Now, they've finally achieved their goal.
In Xiao Yan's words, this is truly a cause for celebration!
Finally, after saying their goodbyes, Xiao Yan and Yao Lao transformed into two streaks of light and disappeared from Xuan Yi's sight.
"Tap tap~"
As the two figures disappeared from view, two more figures appeared behind Xuan Yi.
"Xuan Yi, congratulations!"
Yes, congratulations!
Xuan Kongzi and Tian Leizi spoke one after the other.
As friends, they were also happy for Xuan Yi and Yao Lao.
"Thanks!"
Xuan Yi sincerely expressed his gratitude.
After all, they were the two of them who helped us this time!
