A Long-Cherished Wish Fulfilled

"Yao Chen greets everyone!"

Led by Yao Wanhuo Yao Clan greeted Yao Lao, who then returned the greeting to all the members of the Yao Clan in the square.

Having made up his mind, Yao Lao naturally wouldn't procrastinate any longer.

In fact, Yao Wanhuo had just said something that really resonated with Yao Lao.

That is, he also didn't want anyone in the Yao Clan to suffer the same treatment he had received.

In view of this, if he could become the Elder of Punishments after returning to the Yao Clan, he could bring some benefits to those members of the Yao Clan Dou Emperor Bloodline was thin but who possessed remarkable talent.

Because he himself had been caught in the rain, Yao Lao wanted to do something for the other members of the Yao Clan who were in the same situation.

This is Yao Lao.

The reason why Yao Lao has earned so much respect in Central Plains over the years, besides his strength and Alchemist skills, is his character!

"Alright! Alright!! Alright!! Everyone, it's quite embarrassing that such a scandal has occurred within our Yao Clan. Now, please proceed to the venue where the Medicine Ceremony is being held."

I won't bother you all with some internal matters of my Yao Clan!

At the same time, after excitedly saying "good" three times, Yao Wanhuo was quick-witted enough to immediately characterize the conflict between the Yao Clan and Yao Lao and Xiao Yan as an internal conflict within the Yao Clan.

In this way, what should have been a scene where the Yao Clan's face was slapped was instead turned into a grand event for the Yao Clan with the return of Yao Lao!

It's worth noting that Yao Lao is also the leader of the Heavenly Mansion Alliance.

His return to the Yao Clan is tantamount to establishing contact between the Yao Clan and the Heavenly Mansion Alliance, isn't it?

This situation is actually similar to Mang Tianchi establishing Jia Nan Academy.

As a member of the Lei Clan, Mang Tianchi's Jia Nan Academy was considered by some to be equivalent to the Lei Clan's power.

Today, while the Heavenly Mansion Alliance may not be so exaggerated as to be seen as a force of the Yao Clan, who dares to say that the Heavenly Mansion Alliance and the Yao Clan have no connection after Yao Lao's return to the Yao Clan?

It has to be said that Yao Wanhuo's decision to lower his stance and bring Yao Lao back to the Yao Clan was absolutely a brilliant move!

Xiao Lin, who witnessed the whole thing and even gave it a push from behind, felt that the Yao Clan, which was on the verge of collapse, seemed to have been revitalized...

"Heh, interesting. It seems we'll have no choice but to take action now!"

Xiao Lin muttered something to himself at that moment.

Ye Xinlan, standing to the side, looked at the changes in Elder Xiao's expression and the inexplicable words he had just uttered, and a look of confusion appeared on her face as well.

However, she was obedient and didn't ask any further questions.

This time, she not only witnessed Elder Xiao's power, but also saw the Yao Clan lose face and then regain it.

She had never seen such a grand spectacle before!

Thus, the Yao Clan, at the cost of abandoning Yao Wangui, successfully welcomed back Yao Lao!

At this moment, the people who had come to participate in the Medicine Ceremony witnessed this scene and, after hearing Yao Wanhuo's words, all looked at each other in bewilderment.

They had originally planned to return to Central Plains after finishing the Medicine Ceremony and spread the word about the Yao Clan's shameful actions.

But now it seems the Yao Clan hasn't suffered any losses!

Now that Yao Lao has returned to the Yao Clan, it seems they have nothing left to mock regarding the clan's internal conflicts...

After realizing this, everyone was somewhat taken aback.

"The Yao Clan seems a bit different."

"Who can argue with that? It may seem like we've lost face, but it's because we lost face on our own people. Does that still count as losing face?"

"Moreover, it seems the Yao Clan has gained more than it has lost!"

"Yao Wangui was crippled, Yao Chen returned, and even brought back his disciple Xiao Yan, as well as the entire Heavenly Mansion Alliance. I feel like the Yao Clan actually profited?"

"Could it be that the Yao Clan, this conservative and ancient race, is about to be reborn?"

"I never expected things to turn out like this!"

"It seems that not all members of the Yao Clan are hopelessly stupid!"

"Forget it, this is their own internal Yao Clan. Why should we meddle? Aren't we here to participate in the Medicine Ceremony?"

"Hmm, that makes sense. Let the Yao Clan worry about their own affairs. We're just here to participate in the Medicine Ceremony!"

And so, what should have been a disgraceful incident for the Yao Clan was now handled with a lighthearted approach.

No one mocked the Yao Clan anymore.

Because the Yao Clan has already regained the face they lost!

Immediately afterwards, members of the Yao Clan stepped forward and took away all the onlookers who had finished watching the commotion around the square, one by one.

As for Yao Wanhuo, he had already arrived at Yao Lao's side.

He knew exactly what the Yao Lao wanted to do most at that moment!

"Yao Chen, go. Now that you are the Elder of Punishments of the Yao Clan, you are naturally qualified to personally inscribe your father's and mother's names on the clan monument!"

Yao Wanhuo looked at the extremely excited Yao Lao with a smile and said.

At this moment, Xiao Yan also walked to his teacher's side.

As for the Seven-Colored Fire Lotus, Xiao Yi had already swallowed it back into her stomach after Yao Wangui was taken away.

Then Xiao Yi also took Xiao Yan into his possession.

Now that his teacher has chosen to return to the Yao Clan, the Yao Clan is practically one of his own, so naturally he wouldn't let Xiao Yi stay outside and scare everyone any longer.

"Teacher, now you can do whatever you want to do!"

Xiao Yan added with a smile at the same moment.

Yao Lao first nodded to Xiao Yan, then turned to Yao Wanhuo and said, "Good!"

Although it was only one word, it revealed the inner turmoil within the Yao Lao.

Immediately afterwards, with his heart still heavy with emotion, Yao Lao walked step by step to the huge clan monument in the square.

"Phew~"

After taking a deep breath, Yao Lao concentrated his Dou Qi on his index finger and then, stroke by stroke, carved his parents' names into the clan monument.

As the last stroke was made, Yao Lao's heart suddenly calmed down.

His long-cherished wish was finally fulfilled at this moment.

After that, he truly had no regrets!

After doing all this, Yao Lao stood in front of the clan monument for a while, then bowed deeply before returning.

The process went smoothly without any unexpected events.

"Let's go, Yao Chen, Xiao Yan. I'll take you to the Medicine Ceremony venue at the mountaintop. After the Medicine Ceremony concludes, Yao Chen, you'll take over the punishment branch of my Yao Clan!"

At this moment, Yao Wanhuo was clearly in a very good mood.

Neither Yao Lao nor Xiao Yan objected to Yao Wanhuo's arrangements.
