"That's right, but are you close to the Jia Ma Imperial Family?"
Xiao Fan picked up where Xiao Yan left off and asked, "This is no ordinary matter. Sheltering the Xiao Clan would essentially mean openly breaking with the Misty Cloud Sect. They might not agree to it."
"We have a little connection, but not much."
Xiao Yan scratched his head awkwardly. His relationship with the Jia Ma Imperial Family was hardly close. Back when he had used the alias Yan Xiao, he had gone to the Imperial Family to obtain the Azure Water Flame of their guardian beast, the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast. The Jia Ma Imperial Family had wanted to recruit him then, but he had politely declined.
At the end of the day, it had only been a transaction, and he had made it under the identity of Yan Xiao. Asking them to risk offending the Misty Cloud Sect to shelter the Xiao Clan would be far too difficult.
"Besides the Imperial Family, there's someone else we could consider."
"Who?"
Xiao Yan asked in return. Seeing Xiao Fan looking at him with a teasing smile, he pondered for a moment before realization suddenly dawned, and he blurted out, "Hai Bodong?"
Seeing that Xiao Yan had caught on, Xiao Fan smiled and said, "That's right. You're quite close to Hai Bodong, and he's also the Mittel Family's supreme elder. If you can persuade him, the Mittel Family probably won't refuse."
Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan then began discussing how to win Hai Bodong over. Xiao Yan had traveled with him for a while, and Hai Bodong had also agreed to help him during the Three-Year Agreement. He had a fairly good impression of Hai Bodong and felt there should not be much of a problem.
At that
