Yao Lao's Whereabouts

"Father, so you are—"

At this moment, Xiao Zhan was extremely excited.

Being able to be with the girl he loves, and with his father not objecting, what more could he ask for?

"I can't control what you young people do, but since you're in love with her, don't wrong her!"

Suddenly remembering something, Xiao Lin warned his foolish son.

My son absolutely cannot be a scumbag!

"Yes!"

Xiao Zhan nodded with utmost solemnity.

At the same time, after seeing that her beloved's father did not object to her being with his son, Yang Xiyue's face showed a relieved expression as well as a joyful smile.

Actually, before coming to the Xiao Household with Xiao Zhan, what she feared most was that Xiao Zhan's father would oppose her being with Xiao Zhan because of her own situation.

After all, her family has been wiped out, leaving her all alone. She also knows about the Xiao Household's situation, which is on the same level as when her Yang Household patriarch was still alive!

While the Dou Wang Family may not be considered anything special in the Central Plains, they are definitely among the top families in the Northwest Continent!

Now that she's all alone, it's definitely considered her marrying above her station with the Xiao Household.

In addition, in Yang Xiyue's understanding, the only son of the patriarch of the Dou Wang Family is usually arranged to marry into a force of similar strength in order to expand his family's influence.

She had seen this kind of situation many times in Central Plains.

Unexpectedly, the father of the person she loved was so open-minded and didn't care about her situation at all!

This secretly moved Yang Xiyue.

"No wonder he's A-Zhan's father!"

Yang Xiyue thought to herself silently at this moment.

Just as Yang Xiyue was thinking about these things, Xiao Lin turned his gaze to her once again.

"Xiyue, I'm sorry you've had to stay at the Xiao Household. Now that your family is gone, please treat the Xiao Household as your own home from now on. Let's choose an auspicious day, and I will officiate your wedding!"

In order to make Yang Xiyue feel a sense of belonging to the Xiao Household, Xiao Lin spoke up and made arrangements.

"I'm not wronged. My parents and family are all gone. I'll just have to follow my uncle's arrangements."

She had already decided in her heart that Xiao Zhan was the one, and she had no relatives left, so she would follow the arrangement of the father of the man she loved. That was perfectly fine!

Rather, she was more than grateful to the father of the man she loved for treating her this way.

"Okay, that's good. Zhan'er, you'll be in charge of arranging Xiyue's accommodation at the Xiao Household's place. Is that alright?"

Then, Xiao Lin smiled and glanced at his silly son, asking...

"Of course, no problem, leave it to me!"

Faced with his father's question, Xiao Zhan immediately patted his chest and assured him.

"Okay, let's go then. You've been back for so long, you probably haven't had a proper rest yet, have you? Xiyue, let this silly boy take you to the market to buy your clothes tomorrow."

The group had been sitting in the lobby for almost the entire afternoon, Xiao Lin naturally noticed the weariness showing between the young couple's brows.

"Yes, Father!"

"Uncle, we'll take our leave now."

Xiao Zhan and Yang Xiyue spoke one after the other.

The two then walked side by side out of the lobby.

However, just as the two were about to step out of the lobby, Xiao Lin suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, you two aren't married yet, so remember not to get anyone pregnant!"

Xiao Lin's reminder caused Xiao Zhan, who had just reached the door, to stumble and nearly fall to the ground.

This old man is really good at making people laugh!

Just as Xiao Zhan was about to turn around and refute, Yang Xiyue, who was already so ashamed of herself because of Xiao Lin's reminder, quickly grabbed her sweetheart and ran out of the hall.

She was afraid that if she ran any slower, she would be so embarrassed she would die on the spot!

But this blockhead next to me insisted on stopping.

Don't you realize you're almost too ashamed to show your face in public?

Watching the affectionate couple, and their somewhat "disheveled" figures at the end, Xiao Lin couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

You think you can mess with your elder?

However, not long after Xiao Zhan and Yang Xiyue left, Xiao Lin frowned slightly.

"As expected, Yang Xiyue is my daughter-in-law from the Original Work, and also Xiao Yan's mother."

Xiao Lin was extremely confident in his judgment.

Xiao Lin stemmed from the simple fact that his future daughter-in-law was wearing a ring.

To ensure the birth of his future grandson, the Flame Emperor, Xiao Lin had already tested the waters.

While he was chatting with his mentally challenged son and his future daughter-in-law Yang Xiyue, he had already secretly used his Heavenly Realm Soul Power to examine the ring on her hand.

There's one thing Xiao Lin remembers very clearly from the Original Work Battle Through the Heavens the Heavens novel!

That's the ring in Xiao Yan's hand that contains Yao Lao's soul; he obtained it from his mother!

In other words, the ring where Yao Lao was hiding originally belonged to Xiao Yan's mother.

One of the reasons why Xiao Lin so readily agreed to let his foolish son be with Yang Xiyue was that he had examined the ring on her hand.

As expected, there was an extremely weak soul sleeping inside the ring in Yang Xiyue's hand.

And that soul is naturally the Venerable Yao from the Original Work— Yao Chen.

At the same time, he was also affectionately called Yao Lao by Xiao Yan!

Of course, it's not that Xiao Lin would object to Yang Xiyue being with his foolish son if she weren't Xiao Yan's mother in the Original Work.

However, if he wasn't certain about this, Xiao Lin might observe the other party for a while longer.

As for now, there's no need for that.

Now, even if the daughter of the King of Heaven himself came and wanted to marry his foolish son, she would have to wait in line after Yang Xiyue!

For Xiao Lin, ensuring Xiao Yan's birth was the most important thing!

Although it's true that even if Yang Xiyue weren't Xiao Yan's mother in the Original Work, and Xiao Zhan married someone else, Xiao Yan would very likely still be born, there are always unexpected things, aren't there?

Now, Xiao Lin has completely ruled out any unforeseen circumstances!

Of course, since Yang Xiyue is not yet his daughter-in-law, Xiao Lin couldn't very well take the ring from her.

After all, how can you, as an elder, ask for a ring on the woman's first visit to your home?

Furthermore, since the Yao Lao in Yang Xiyue's ring was currently completely still unconscious and not moving at all, it was also the reason why Xiao Lin did not immediately take the ring from her.

It should be noted that, according to the Original Work novel, only after Yao Lao's soul has recovered to a certain extent will he begin to involuntarily absorb and wear the Dou Qi on his body.

Then, after this state continues for a period of time, the Yao Lao's soul will be revived.

Once Yao Lao's soul is revived, he will be able to control whether or not to absorb the Dou Qi on his body.

Therefore, given Yao Lao's current condition, there's no rush.
