Matchmaker Xiao Long Takes the Stage

"You should still remember that Amethyst Winged Lion King that took human form, right?"

"Of course." Xiao Yan's expression changed. He would never forget the Amethyst Winged Lion King who almost sent him to his death.

"Is there a problem?"

"We initially guessed that this Amethyst Winged Lion King successfully transformed into human form using medicinal herbs like the Transformation Grass."

"Teacher, is this wrong?" Xiao Yan asked, his eyes filled with confusion. If the Amethyst Winged Lion King didn't eat medicinal herbs, could it be that it was taking pills instead?

"No, that Amethyst Winged Lion King took the Transformation Pill," Elder Yao said with certainty.

"But, teacher, didn't you say that there are no Transformation Pill in the entire Jia Ma Empire?" Xiao Yan still vividly remembered Elder Yao's tone at that time.

"But what if it's outside the Jia Ma Empire?" Elder Yao asked quietly.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yan's expression tightened. In that instant, he had already imagined a whole drama unfolding before his eyes, and he hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?"

"Do you remember that strange black entrance you saw at the deepest part of the Amethyst Winged Lion King's cave?"

The Elder Yao didn't answer; instead, he asked a different question.

"Teacher, is there something wrong with that hole?"

Xiao Yan asked cautiously. He recalled that it was after seeing that cave entrance that Elder Yao anxiously urged him to leave; otherwise, he would definitely have wanted to investigate.

"That's Space Wormhole," Elder Yao said solemnly.

"What is Space Wormhole?" This already touches on a blind spot in Xiao Yan's knowledge.

"Space Wormhole is a tool that connects two different places, greatly shortening the distance between them. It's an extremely common way to travel in Central Plains," Elder Yao explained.

Then, his voice became extremely serious. "The minimum strength requirement for constructing Space Wormhole is Dou Zun."

"Dou Zun!?" Xiao Yan exclaimed in surprise. Was this a realm he could even approach?

"So, teacher, you mean that the Amethyst Winged Lion King is responsible for guarding the Space Wormhole?" Xiao Yan wasn't stupid; when all the information was pieced together, the truth was revealed. In a flash, he understood what Elder Yao meant.

"That's right."

"The Transformation Pill of the Amethyst Winged Lion King should have been given to him by the person or force that constructed this Space Wormhole."

He might even be someone they're keeping here.

"Exotic Fire, Space Wormhole, the Yun Lan Sect with Dou Zun expert, and your wealthy Xiao Clan —I never imagined that the small Jia Ma Empire would be so full of hidden talents." Elder Yao's tone was somewhat meaningful.

"Teacher, what should we do with this Space Wormhole?" Xiao Yan asked curiously.

"Deal with it? Run!" the Elder Yao said irritably.

"That Space Wormhole is a time bomb; nobody knows when or who will come out of it."

This is also why Elder Yao insisted on letting Xiao Yan leave at all costs. If he were caught red-handed, he wasn't confident he could safely take Xiao Yan out in this disguise.

"The farther away, the better!"

The Elder Yao made a decisive decision. "Help yourself recover quickly, and then head straight to the Tagor Desert."

"Yes."

Two days ago, at the Xiao Clan.

"You mean Yan Er ran into Misty Cloud Sect Master Yun Yun Sect, and something happened?" Xiao Long looked at Xiao Zhan, who seemed extremely helpless, with surprise.

"Yes." Xiao Zhan looked at his wife with some worry, afraid that she would cause some trouble. After all, Yun Yun had played a part in Xiao Yan's failed engagement.

Unexpectedly...

"What does that girl named Yun Yun look like?" Xiao Long asked this question first, her thinking quite unique.

"A beauty that could topple kingdoms!" Xiao Zhan commented. The woman's appearance was indeed undeniably stunning, and he added, "No less beautiful than Xun Er!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Long immediately pictured it. She knew firsthand how beautiful Xun Er was; she had a perfect face that could make even women swoon.

Score +1!

"What about talent?"

Xiao Zhan hesitated for a moment before saying, "His talent should be alright, although he can't compare to Yan Er, it's still pretty good."

Score +1!

"And his personality?"

"Although he's a bit cold-hearted, he's a really nice person."

Score max!

"Hurry and go to the Yun Lan Sect to propose marriage!"

Xiao Long said impatiently. For an elderly mother, her son's marriage is always her top priority.

"A marriage proposal?" Xiao Zhan was dumbfounded. Why was he about to propose marriage?

And...

"Madam, if our family were to propose marriage to the Yun Lan Sect, they might not agree!"

Xiao Zhan earnestly offered words of comfort.

When Xiao Wufa and Xiao Wutian reported, it was very clear that both of them used false names.

If the Xiao Clan were to propose marriage like this, it would most likely fall through.

What Xiao Zhan didn't say was that his precious son had just been jilted by his disciple, and now he actually wanted to propose to his master. What kind of situation was this?!

At least Xiao Zhan can't get over this hurdle in his heart!

"How dare the Yun Lan Sect disagree?" Xiao Long suddenly became fierce. "Nalan Yanran broke off my engagement with Yan Er two years ago, and I haven't even settled accounts with the Yun Lan Sect yet."

"What's wrong with proposing marriage now?" It was clear that his temper was about to explode.

"Didn't my uncle say that children and grandchildren have their own destinies? Let these young ones handle their own life-long matters. We, as their parents, can just watch."

Xiao Zhan said helplessly, even bringing up the words of his ancestor, Xiao Han.

"You don't want to repeat the farce of your father's generation, do you?"

"Besides, what about Xun Er?" Xiao Zhan's words immediately calmed Xiao Long down.

That's true! Xun Er is the daughter-in-law that the Xiao Clan has chosen. Doing things this way might break Xun Er's heart!

However, Xiao Long thought for a moment and said, "It's alright. As long as Yan Er is capable, I'll support him no matter how many wives he marries."

(Xiao Zhan: Envious!)

"Let me tell you, that only applies to our son." Xiao Long squinted at Xiao Zhan and threatened, "If you dare bring a vixen home, you can forget about ever entering the house again."

"Yes, yes, yes, I have one wife, that's enough. Why would I want more?" Xiao Zhan put his arm around Xiao Long's waist and said sincerely.

(Xiao Zhan: I'm suffering inside!)

"You're smart to know what's good for you!" Xiao Long said with a cold snort.

"However, we should still try to bring them together more often!" Although she had given up on proposing marriage, Xiao Long had no intention of just throwing away a potential daughter-in-law.

"Please speak, Madam!"

"Let's do it like this first, and then, like that..." Xiao Long enthusiastically offered her suggestions.

Thus began the day when Yun Yun and Xiao Yan joined forces to break into the cave, and the series of events that followed.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King was in charge of setting up the stage and putting on a show. Then, at the right moment, he was "successfully" lured away by Yun Yun, and then Xiao Yan "took advantage of the situation".

Otherwise, the Amethyst Winged Lion King, who is responsible for guarding the Space Wormhole, would never stray too far from the cave.

Of course, as the actor who received the most compensation in this case, Xiao Zhan also gave the other party a very generous reward.

It can be described as a win-win situation.

The Xiao Clan family members acted as matchmakers, arranging a marriage between Xiao Yan and Yun Yun, while Xiao Han, tens of thousands of miles away, transformed into a butcher, relentlessly eliminating certain individuals.
