Seen Through

As Xiao Lin led Ye Xinlan slowly toward the Yao Dan, the latter naturally noticed it as well.

However, Xiao Lin wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Yao Dan's eyes seemed to narrow slightly when she saw him walking over with Ye Xinlan.

This left Xiao Lin somewhat bewildered.

Could it be that because he had been observing the whole thing from the sidelines, Yao Dan had some thoughts on his mind?

It's no wonder Xiao Lin thought that way, mainly because he didn't see what Yao Dan meant by that look!

And so, Xiao Lin led Ye Xinlan to the Yao Dan.

However, before Xiao Lin could even say goodbye, it was the latter who spoke first!

Elder Xiao... may I ask if we can speak in private for a moment?

Yao Dan's tone was cautious, but also tentative.

Xiao Lin: "??????"

Seeing this, Xiao Lin was completely baffled.

No, you're the clan leader, after all. Do you really need to speak to someone as insignificant as me like this?

Yes, in Xiao Lin's eyes, Yao Dan's attitude towards him at this moment seemed somewhat subservient.

This is an extremely unreasonable thing!

It should be noted that Yao Dan, as the patriarch of the Yao Clan, did not need to adopt such an attitude even when facing Gu Yuan and the Hun Tiandi.

But now, to speak to him, an "Ordinary" Elder of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, in such a tone and attitude—there's something fishy about that!

Sure enough, after Yao Dan adopted this attitude, Ye Xinlan, who was standing next to Xiao Lin, was completely stunned.

Elder Xiao, do you really have that much influence in front of the Yao Clan Chief?

That doesn't make sense. When they first arrived at the Yao Clan, the Yao Clan leader didn't show this kind of attitude!

Did something happen that she was unaware of in between?

Ye Xinlan had always considered herself a very shrewd person, but today she suddenly wondered if she had become stupid?

At this moment, Ye Xinlan fell into self-doubt.

As for Xiao Lin, after a moment of stunned silence, he raised an eyebrow and then revealed a somewhat amused look.

"Could it be that..."

An idea popped into Xiao Lin's mind.

But he remained outwardly calm and composed.

"Since Clan Chief Yao Dan has put it that way, then I can only follow your lead. Xin Lan, please wait here for a moment."

Xiao Lin did not refuse the Yao Dan, but simply turned around and gave Ye Xinlan an instruction.

"Yes, Elder Xiao!"

Ye Xinlan nodded without hesitation.

"Elder Wanhuo, please handle things here for now. I have some matters to discuss with Elder Xiao."

On the other side, Yao Dan also temporarily handed over his current affairs to Yao Wanhuo, the second-in-command of the Yao Clan.

"Yes, Chieftain!"

Although Yao Wanhuo's face also showed signs of fatigue, he did not object.

The entire Medicine Realm needs a complete overhaul right now; how can he possibly have time to rest?

Furthermore, their entire Yao Clan will be busy for the next hundred years.

They need to repair the Medicine Realm, manage the mountains and rivers within it, plant various medicinal herbs, and then refine Medicinal Pill to replenish the Medicinal Pill storehouse.

These incidents, one by one, are enough to give anyone a headache.

It seems that in the days to come, the entire Yao Clan will basically have no rest and will be working like oxen and horses.

Damn the Hun Clan!

This was the thought in the minds of most members of the Yao Clan at this moment, and Yao Wanhuo was no exception.

"Buzz~"

The Spatial Passage opened in front of Xiao Lin and Yao Dan.

Then, the two stepped inside one after the other.

Clearly, Yao Dan had something very important to tell Xiao Lin; otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to the trouble of opening a Spatial Passage to get away from this place.

When the two reappeared, they were in a secluded corner of Yao Mountain, a place that was relatively remote but deserted.

"Clan Chief Yao Dan, I don't know..."

Just as Xiao Lin was about to ask about some Yao Dan, he was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"Patriarch Yao Dan of the Yao Clan, on behalf of the entire Yao Clan, thanks Elder Xiao... no, Palace Master Lin Xiao has made his move!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Dan clasped his hands in front of Xiao Lin and then bowed ninety degrees.

If an old man with an air of otherworldly wisdom were to make such a gesture, it would surely astound any outsider.

Especially if they knew that this old man was none other than Yao Dan, the patriarch of the Yao Clan...

As the actions of wiping out the Yao Dan and the words left his mouth, Xiao Lin's pupils suddenly contracted slightly.

Although he had already guessed what the latter's strange attitude and eyes were like before he came here with Yao Dan, Xiao Lin was still shocked when the other party actually revealed his identity.

After all, Xiao Lin prided himself on having concealed his true abilities well during this upheaval in the Yao Clan, thus keeping his merits and fame hidden.

But who could have imagined that the Yao Dan would see right through their plan?

After recalling the incident, Xiao Lin couldn't recall having given himself away anywhere.

So, how exactly did the Yao Dan know all this?

Moreover, judging from Yao Dan's attitude, it's clear that the other party knew he was going to make a move and had seen through his identity; otherwise, why would they have adopted such a posture?

Therefore, Xiao Lin never imagined that this would be a test from the Yao Dan.

"... Clan Chief Yao Dan, how did you find out? I don't think you had the time to pay attention to me under those circumstances, let alone know that I was making a move in secret, let alone recognize my identity..."

After a moment of silence, Xiao Lin finally voiced the question that had been bothering him.

At the same time, his answer was tantamount to indirectly affirming what Yao Dan had said.

"Hehe, Palace Master Lin Xiao, there's no need to overthink it. It wasn't that I saw through your disguise, but rather that the Ancestor told me everything about you before he left."

At the same time, Yao Dan, who had straightened up again, looked at Xiao Lin with a smile and said.

Xiao Lin: "..."

Good, good, good, I didn't expect it to be that old scoundrel Medicine Emperor's Remnant Soul!

Despite his best efforts, he failed to guard against the Medicine Emperor's Remnant Soul.

Who would have thought that the other party would go to such lengths?

However, if it was the Medicine Emperor's Remnant Soul who told the Yao Dan about his situation, then it wouldn't be surprising that the other party could immediately recognize his identity.

"So it's Senior Medicine Emperor..."

What can Xiao Lin say now?

That's all I can say.

"Actually, the Ancestor only told me about your cultivation level, Palace Master Lin Xiao. It was my own guess that the so-called ' Elder Xiao 'Palace Master Lin Xiao was just an identity you used when you were out in the world."

After all, the Dou Qi Continent isn't small, but it's not huge either. How could a Mid-Stage Nine-Star Dou Saint with an Emperor Realm Soul suddenly appear out of nowhere?

At this moment, Yao Dan added another sentence.

It can only be said that the speculation about the Yao Dan is indeed reasonable.

This is also what Xiao Lin has always been thinking: as long as Xiao Yan breaks through once or twice more, he will be able to guess his identity.

Because, who else possesses that level of cultivation?
