Yun Shan's Request

After asking a few more questions, Xiao Zhan and Yang Xiyue left.

Subsequently, Xiao Lin found Yun Shan, who had also stayed at the Xiao Household Ancestral Residence during this period.

"Slap"

Xiao Lin casually tossed out a Medicinal Pill, which Yun Shan caught.

"For soul repair, simply ingest it."

As soon as Xiao Lin finished speaking, Yun Shan, without any suspicion, swallowed it directly.

Immediately afterwards, Yun Shan's originally pale face began to regain its rosy color at a visible speed.

Given Xiao Lin's current status, he is not lacking in Medicinal Pill for repairing the soul.

After closing his eyes and adjusting his breathing for a while, Yun Shan slowly opened his eyes.

Although one Medicinal Pill cannot immediately heal the injuries to his soul that he suffered half a month ago, it is likely that after a few more days of rest, he should be fine.

"Your strength has now been exposed. What are you planning to do next?"

Yun Shan didn't mince words and went straight to the point.

Now, the Soul Hall has only deployed one Venerable Qing Hai, and he is already struggling to hold on.

The people sent by the Soul Hall will only get stronger from now on!

In this situation, he clearly couldn't help the Xiao Household much anymore.

That's why Yun Shan asked Xiao Lin what to do next.

"It's just a matter of dealing with whatever comes our way. I never said I was going to hide my strength forever, did I?"

Xiao Lin's relaxed attitude surprised Yun Shan.

No, then why did you hide for so long?

Yun Shan really wanted to complain like that, but he held back in the end.

He simply couldn't understand Xiao Lin's actions.

Similarly, Xiao Lin didn't want Yun Shan to know about the things he had previously overthought.

Xiao Lin absolutely intends to keep this matter to himself!

Anyway, as long as nobody knows, he can't possibly be the Clown King!

"What about the Soul Hall? This time, even that Venerable Qing Hai died at your hands. Even if you can stall a few more times, the people who come after you will only get stronger and stronger. Can you hold them off by yourself?"

Given their friendship and the relationship between the Xiao Household and the Misty Cloud Sect, Yun Shan naturally did not want anything to happen to the Xiao Household.

"No need to worry. Compared to my Xiao Household itself, what the forces behind the Soul Hall really want is just one item that my Xiao Household possesses!"

As long as that item is no longer in the hands of my Xiao Household, the Soul Hall won't target my Xiao Household too much.

Xiao Lin said with a confident expression.

"Some item in the possession of your Xiao Household?"

Although Yun Shan was extremely curious about this, seeing that Xiao Lin did not continue, he did not press the matter further.

This is clearly a secret belonging to the Xiao Household, and it's inappropriate for him to inquire too much.

Moreover, something that even the forces behind the Soul Hall covet is clearly not something that someone who has just broken through to the Dou Zun Realm should know too much about.

Yun Shan clearly has this much self-awareness.

After chatting for a while, Xiao Lin suddenly brought up another topic.

"Sect Master Yun Shan, now that you've broken through to the Dou Zun Realm, haven't you thought about venturing into the Central Plains?"

The change in topic startled Yun Shan.

To be honest, at that moment, Yun Shan was indeed tempted!

Yun Potian, the patriarch of the Misty Cloud Sect, once roamed the Central Plains and left behind a considerable reputation.

Even today, many people in Central Plains still remember the name Yun Potian!

Although Yun Shan has now broken through to the Dou Zun Realm, Yun Shan knows in his heart that he has never reached the level of his ancestor Yun Potian back then.

For Yun Shan, he did not seek to surpass his ancestors, but he was still interested in retracing the path his ancestors had taken.

Moreover, he has now broken through to the Dou Venerable, so even if he goes to Central Plains, he will have a certain ability to protect himself.

There's even a chance they could reach even greater heights!

Thinking about it this way, going to Central Plains to make a name for myself is indeed a good choice.

However, after thinking for a moment, Yun Shan resisted the temptation and shook his head.

"Sigh, forget it. If it were a few years ago, I certainly would have had that ambition and courage, but now, I just want a peaceful life."

Yun Shan said after letting out a long sigh.

"Oh? Are you getting old-fashioned?"

Xiao Lin couldn't help but tease.

I guess so, haha!

Yun Shan didn't seem embarrassed at all in the face of Xiao Lin's teasing.

This surprised Xiao Lin, who had originally thought that Yun Shan would refute him.

Yun Shan's reaction was not what Xiao Lin had expected.

He always felt that Yun Shan hadn't finished saying what he wanted to say!

Or rather, his unwillingness to go to Central Plains was definitely not just for this reason!

Then, Xiao Lin turned his inquisitive gaze to Yun Shan.

"Hmm~, what kind of look is that? Don't you believe what I just said?"

Yun Shan gave him a look that said, "You actually doubted me?"

Thanks to his time with Xiao Lin in his early years, even though Yun Shan knows that Xiao Lin's strength is unfathomable, he does not regard Xiao Lin as a senior expert.

Xiao Lin quite liked this way of getting along.

Therefore, their conversation at this moment was actually quite casual.

In response to Yun Shan's question, Xiao Lin not only remained silent but also gave him a look that seemed to say, "What do you think?"

"... Alright, actually, the reason I'm not planning to venture into Central Plains is because I have a favor to ask."

After a moment of silence, Yun Shan revealed a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"I knew it! Just tell me, what is it? With our friendship spanning so many years, I certainly won't refuse to do anything I can."

"But I'm curious, what could have made you choose to give up your journey to Central Plains?"

Faced with Xiao Lin's question, Yun Shan fell silent again.

After a while, Xiao Lin suddenly thought of something.

"I see. If I'm not mistaken, it must be because of Yun Yun, right?"

Although it was a rhetorical question, Xiao Lin said it with an affirmative tone.

Sure enough, as Xiao Lin finished speaking, Yun Shan's body trembled.

After giving a wry smile, Yun Shan finally spoke up, "I can't hide it from you after all. The reason I'm unwilling to venture into Central Plains is indeed because of Yun'er."

Because I hope you can take Yun'er to Central Plains to explore and learn from her experiences!

Yun'er is different from me. She's still young, and her talent for cultivation is stronger than mine. Letting her go out and broaden her horizons will definitely benefit her future development!

Yun Shan finally stopped hesitating and spoke his mind.

"Is that so? That makes sense. If you and Yun Yun both went to Central Plains to make your way in the world, then the Misty Cloud Sect would be leaderless! So, you're planning to return to the sect and take over the management of the Misty Cloud Sect, giving this opportunity to Yun Yun, is that right?"

At this moment, Xiao Lin understood all of Yun Shan's thoughts.

Seeing that Xiao Lin had seen through his thoughts, Yun Shan remained silent and did not say anything.

But Xiao Lin knew that silence, sometimes, was also an answer!
