Yao Dan, Patriarch of the Yao Clan

Xiao Lin didn't spend much time with Yao Lao. It was only in the early days when Yao Lao had just awakened in his Storage Ring that the two often played chess, chatted, and talked about the various customs and leisure activities of the Dou Qi Continent.

Later, after Xiao Yan was born, Xiao Lin sent Yao Lao to Xiao Yan's side.

After that, before Yao Lao was resurrected, Xiao Lin hardly had any contact with Yao Lao.

After Yao Lao was resurrected, the two met a few times.

But the contact time wasn't very long.

Even so, the two are still considered quite good friends.

Because the two share a common connection: Xiao Yan!

Therefore, whether out of nostalgia for the Original Work or because of the relationship between the two in this life, Xiao Lin wanted to help Yao Lao.

Nowadays, Yao Lao's strength is not weak, and as the leader of the Heavenly Mansion Alliance, he doesn't need Xiao Lin's help much.

Coincidentally, this Medicine Ceremony reminded Xiao Lin of the regret that Yao Lao in the Original Work novel had never made up for.

Xiao Lin still remembered that in the end Original Work only dealt with Yao Wangui, but the truth about the injustice Yao Lao suffered a hundred years ago was not revealed.

Furthermore, the Yao Lao's long-cherished wish to have his parents' names engraved on the clan monument also came to nothing, along with the entire Yao Clan's elimination game.

In this life, Xiao Lin only gave a slight push from behind the scenes. Before the Medicine Ceremony was even held, the Yao Lao had already returned to the Yao Clan and immediately engraved his parents' names on the clan monument.

Furthermore, the injustice he suffered a century ago was completely cleared up with Yao Wangui's self-disclosure.

At this moment, the Yao Lao could truly say he had no regrets and felt completely at ease.

There's a saying: sincerity is the ultimate weapon!

Sure enough, Xiao Lin's simple and unadorned words Yao Lao doctor so much that his cheeks twitched.

Xiao Yan and Ye Xinlan, who were standing to the side, couldn't help but admire their grandfather (Elder Xiao) for his words. As expected, their grandfather (Elder Xiao) knew how to speak well!

Subsequently, the group of four, led by Yao Wanhuo, went to the site of the Medicine Ceremony.

At the summit of Yao Mountain, clouds and mist swirl, and a strange fragrance of elixirs spreads, giving people a sense of tranquility and joy, as if they were in a fairyland.

At the summit of Yao Mountain, vast expanses of medicinal herbs converge like an ocean. Above these seas of herbs, a colossal plaza floats in mid-air. At the four corners of the plaza stand four enormous medicinal cauldrons, emitting fragrant aromas that rise straight into the sky.

Now, many people are standing on this suspended platform, and lively conversations can be heard constantly, making it a very bustling place.

Looking north from the stone platform, one sees rows of stone chairs lined up side by side. On either side of these chairs, beautiful Maids flit about like butterflies, their nimble hands filling the jade cups on the stone tables.

This is clearly the location where the Medicine Ceremony exhibition is held!

Meanwhile, after bringing Xiao Lin, Ye Xinlan, Yao Lao, and Xiao Yan to this suspended giant platform, Yao Wanhuo led the four to seats that had been arranged in advance.

"Please, gentlemen, take your seats with me!"

Yao Wanhuo then gestured "please" to the four of them again.

Of course, the moment Yao Wanhuo led the four of them onto the suspended giant platform, they attracted countless eyes.

You should know that Yao Wanhuo is the second most important person in the Yao Clan!

His status was even higher than Yao Wangui's!

Nowadays, it's easy to imagine how special someone is that they deserve his personal attention.

"Who are they? They actually got Elder Wanhuo to personally intervene!"

"He's definitely a big shot!"

Does anyone know who those four people are?

"Huh? Aren't those Yao Chen and Xiao Yan from the Heavenly Mansion Alliance?"

"So it's the leader and young leader of the Heavenly Mansion Alliance, no wonder..."

"The Heavenly Mansion Alliance is not necessarily weaker than the Yao Clan in terms of size now. It is quite reasonable for the Yao Clan to send Elder Wanhuo to entertain its leader and young leader, who are both present."

"What about the other two?"

"I don't know, they should be members of the Heavenly Mansion Alliance too."

Various voices of discussion arose at this moment.

At this moment, because they didn't know Xiao Lin and Ye Xinlan's identities, they became mere foils to Xiao Yan and Yao Lao.

However, this was exactly what Xiao Lin wanted.

After all, he's not someone who likes to be high-profile.

Finally, needless to say, given their status, they were certainly arranged to sit in the most central positions.

"Gentlemen, the Medicine Ceremony has not yet officially begun. Please wait a moment and savor the fine wines and spirits of my Yao Clan. I must leave for a while to report the earlier events to the clan leader."

Yao Wanhuo spoke very politely to Xiao Lin and the other three.

"Hehe, Elder Wanhuo, please go and attend to your business."

"Yes, Elder Wanhuo, there's no need to worry about us."

It was Xiao Lin and Yao Lao who spoke up; Xiao Yan and Ye Xinlan, being juniors, remained silent.

Hearing what Xiao Lin and Yao Lao said, Yao Wanhuo nodded, then turned around and gave a few instructions to the other Elders of the Yao Clan before leaving the suspended giant platform.

Meanwhile, the clever Maids arranged by the Yao Clan had already brought out fine wine and delicacies to serve the four of them.

And so, while waiting for the Medicine Ceremony to begin, the four of them chatted idly while enjoying the dishes and wines that the Maids brought them, one after another.

To be honest, it was quite enjoyable!

The Yao Clan values their reputation, and although they can be somewhat arrogant at times, they are absolutely exceptionally attentive when it comes to service!

Don't you see that the smiles on the faces of everyone who's already seated haven't faded?

There was absolutely none of that bored expression that appears when waiting for something to begin.

Time is slowly passing by.

In this atmosphere, the flow of people around the stone platform grew larger and larger. Eventually, all sorts of noises soared into the sky, and the buzzing sound even shook the clouds in the sky apart.

However, just as the sound waves spread, a bell suddenly rang out in the sky, and immediately the many members of the Yao Clan stood up, their respectful voices spreading far and wide.

"Welcome, Clan Chief!"

Amidst the resounding cheers, the clouds in the sky churned and then spontaneously parted, revealing an elderly man with white hair and dressed in a white robe who slowly emerged from within.

The space where his feet landed emitted strange fluctuations, as if the invisible space itself had solidified into a tangible form at that moment.

The patriarch of the Yao Clan Yao Dan, has finally appeared!

The atmosphere deliberately created when he appeared deeply shocked more than 99% of the people present.

Seeing this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but shake his head.

He could see, of course, that Yao Dan was merely using this to deliberately display the power of the Yao Clan in order to intimidate everyone.

But this was of no use to him.
