Jumping to Conclusions

"Yes, Feng Qing'er already admitted it back then. I think the Young Master she mentioned could only be your Myriad Formation Spirit Palace's Chief Disciple Tian Huangzi Prince, right?"

Xiao Yan's tone at this moment also carried a hint of helplessness.

After all, if it hadn't actually happened, how could he be the kind of person who enjoys stirring up trouble?

He's bringing this up now in the hopes that the two women will help him analyze it.

What exactly is wrong with this?

However, the two women were completely bewildered by his words, let alone able to analyze the situation for him.

"Miss Feng Qing'er was Maid that Tian Huangzi brought into the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace after he returned from his trip many years ago! However, she was only Tian Huangzi's Maid. Normally, even the Top Ten Sequences of the sect would not dare to underestimate her."

Furthermore, the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan even sent Half-Saint expert to capture Miss Feng Qing'er for this matter, but the Palace Master later sent him away.

After that, Miss Feng Qing'er became a complete member of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace.

And the only one whom Miss Feng Qing'er would address as "Young Master" is indeed Tian Huangzi...

After a while, Qing Lin slowly began to recount what she knew about the two of them, following Xiao Yan's words.

"Wait, something's not right!"

Just then, Xiao Yan suddenly spoke up.

"Hmm? Young Master Xiao Yan, is something wrong?"

A look of confusion appeared on Qing Lin's face at just the right moment.

"According to what you just said, Qing Lin, since Feng Qing'er has become Tian Huangzi's Maid and has also joined the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, why did she represent the Wind Lightning Pavilion in the Four Pavilions Assembly in the first place?"

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any need for this, right?

Xiao Yan is indeed intelligent; he grasped the crux of the problem instantly.

Because that's definitely the case!

Is it really necessary for someone from the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace to participate in the Four Pavilions Assembly on behalf of the Wind Lightning Pavilion?

The answer is clearly no!

But that's exactly what happened!

If there wasn't something fishy going on, Xiao Yan would never believe it, even if he were beaten to death.

However, he couldn't quite figure out what the problem was for the time being.

"We're not entirely sure about that, but it's said that Tian Huangzi has now become the Honorary Pavilion Master of the Wind Lightning Pavilion, possessing rights equivalent to those of Thunder Venerable in the Wind Lightning Pavilion!"

Perhaps that's why Tian Huangzi had Feng Qing'er represent Wind Lightning Pavilion in the Four Pavilions Assembly?

Xiao Yi Xian couldn't help but guess at this moment.

Otherwise, she really couldn't find any other reason!

It just goes to show that neither of the two women had an omniscient perspective!

Little did they know that Xiao Lin not only concealed his identity from Xiao Yan, but also conveniently arranged for Tian Huangzi to help train Xiao Yan...

To be honest, Xiao Lin has done all sorts of bad things!

"But this still doesn't explain why Tian Huangzi is targeting me..."

Xiao Yan never figured out the answer to this question.

It couldn't be just because I dislike him, could it?

He's not actually that hateful-looking!

Xiao Yan remained depressed...

Then, all three fell into a long silence.

She didn't know how much time had passed when suddenly Xiao Yi Xian's eyes lit up, and an idea popped into her head!

"Wait, Xiao Yan, I have a guess in my mind, I wonder if it's possible?"

As Xiao Yi Xian spoke, she stared intently at Xiao Yan.

"Oh? I don't know much about the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace. Xiao Yi Xian, if you have any guesses, just say them!"

Xiao Yan didn't care; it was just a guess after all.

As for whether it is or not, we'll have to wait and see.

"Xiao Yan, are you aware of the power structure of our Myriad Formation Spirit Palace?"

Instead of answering, Xiao Yi Xian asked a question.

"Power structure? In your Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, the most powerful person should be the Palace Master, right?"

Xiao Yan was taken aback at first, then spoke.

"That's right! The Palace Master is indeed the most powerful in our Myriad Formation Spirit Palace! However, did you know that our Myriad Formation Spirit Palace actually has two Palace Masters, namely the First Palace Master and the Second Palace Master!"

Xiao Yi Xian explained.

"I've heard about that too, but what does that have to do with your guess, Xiao Yi Xian?"

Xiao Yan asked with a curious expression.

How did things suddenly escalate to the power structure of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace?

"Perhaps there's a connection, or perhaps I'm overthinking it! Actually, both Qing Lin and I joined the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace because of the First Palace Master, but Tian Huangzi's teacher is the Second Palace Master of my Myriad Formation Spirit Palace..."

Xiao Yi Xian said meaningfully.

"Um?"

At this moment, Xiao Yan finally realized what was going on and vaguely guessed what Xiao Yi Xian wanted to express.

"Xiao Yi Xian, are you saying that there are factions within the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace? The so-called First Palace Master's faction and the Second Palace Master's faction?"

"You belong to the First Palace Master's faction, while Tian Huangzi belongs to the Second Palace Master's faction?"

Xiao Yan couldn't help but speculate at this moment.

It can only be said that Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi Xian have indeed come up with some truly wild ideas.

However, after the three of them imagined it this way, it actually seems quite likely!

However, if Xiao Lin and Ji Li knew what they were imagining, they would probably find it both funny and exasperating.

Although they enjoy playfully bickering, do they seem like the type to create conflict?

Even Xiao Lin probably didn't expect that simply asking Tian Huangzi to help train Xiao Yan would make him think so much.

As Xiao Yan continued his imaginings, Xiao Yi Xian further analyzed, "That's right! If that's the case, I can probably understand why Tian Huangzi was secretly targeting you, Xiao Yan!"

"Huh? Why?"

Seeing that the reason was about to be analyzed, Xiao Yan naturally showed some excitement.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Yan, I can't tell you the reasons right now! But if my guess is true, you might have to be careful of the Tian Huangzi's faction within the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace in the future."

Xiao Yi Xian shook her head, without explaining why.

After all, she still has to hide Grandpa Xiao's identity, so naturally she can't tell Xiao Yan everything!

In fact, according to Xiao Yi Xian's guess, it was because her own Second Palace Master was preparing to support her disciple Tian Huangzi to become the next Palace Master, and somehow learned about the relationship between Xiao Yan and her own Grandpa Xiao, which is why she had Tian Huangzi secretly suppress Xiao Yan.

This line of reasoning is quite reasonable.

All I can say is that Xiao Yi Xian has a very rich imagination!

"You can't tell me? Really?"

Xiao Yan, who had no idea what Xiao Yi Xian was thinking, was also somewhat dumbfounded.

"In short, Xiao Yan, you should trust me. You'll understand some things later!"

Xiao Yi Xian said with a serious expression.

"Well... okay."

After hesitating for a while, Xiao Yan nodded.

The main reason Xiao Yan didn't press the matter further was that he trusted Xiao Yi Xian wouldn't harm him.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yi Xian has decided to ask her Grandpa Xiao, to confirm this matter after returning to the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace!
