Since he could not seize the chat group yet, Xiao Yan did not mind playing along.
To him, having the Myriad Worlds Chat Group in a useless fool's hands was far better than having it in the hands of a true powerhouse.
After all, as long as Wang Daxian remained a useless fool, seizing the chat group in the future would be much easier.
"Just as I predicted. You should notify the Gu Clan's experts as soon as possible and have them eliminate Lin Dong!"
"The longer you delay, the stronger he will become. I suggest having your Gu Clan's clan leader, Gu Yuan, kill him personally. Give him no chance to turn things around, and don't listen to a word of his nonsense."
Wang Daxian offered him this advice.
"Rest assured, Great Immortal. I will have the young lady notify the clan leader right away and ask him to eliminate Lin Dong personally."
After saying that, Xiao Yan stopped paying attention to the chat group.
He still needed to find Xiao Xun'er. Ling Ying had told her quite a few things lately, so he had to plunder some of her memories.
With that thought, he entered Xun'er's room.
Of course, he merely plundered some of Xiao Xun'er's memories and did nothing else.
Mainly, with Medicine Emperor there as a third wheel, it was inconvenient for him to do anything.
All he could do was sigh inwardly.
The next day!
"Ooh... it hurts..."
Xiao Mei, whom Xiao Yan had knocked unconscious earlier, finally stirred awake.
The moment she woke, Xiao Mei felt a wave of pain from the back of her neck.
Xiao Yan had struck too hard yesterday and failed to control his strength. That was why she had remained unconscious for so long and was still in pain now.
"You're awake?"
Seeing Xiao Mei wake up, Xiao Yan spoke indifferently from beside her.
"L-Lord Lin Dong, I'm sorry. I... I don't seem to remember what happened last night."
Confusion flickered across Xiao Mei's pretty face, which held a hint of allure beneath its innocence.
She could not remember what had happened last night at all.
Her memories stopped at escorting Lord Lin Dong back to his room. After that, she had blacked out.
"You were probably too tired yesterday, so you fainted as soon as you entered the room."
"Then you spent the night here."
Naturally, Xiao Yan could not admit that he had knocked her unconscious.
"Is that what happened?"
"Lord Lin Dong, I'm truly sorry for failing to take good care of you."
Xiao Mei checked her perfectly intact clothes, then noted that aside from the slight pain in her neck, she felt no other discomfort.
A trace of disappointment actually rose in her heart. It seemed this lord had not done anything to her.
"It's fine!"
Xiao Yan waved a hand lightly. Before he could continue, a sudden knock sounded outside.
"Lord Lin Dong, are you awake?"
"Clan Leader Teng Shan of the Mittel Family has come to visit. Would it be convenient for you to come out and meet him?"
The person knocking outside was none other than the Xiao Clan's clan leader, Xiao Zhan-his own father.
Although Xiao Yan thought highly of his father, he was Lin Dong now, not Xiao Yan.
Thus, he had to maintain his cold, aloof image.
With that in mind, Xiao Yan rose and opened the door.
"Xiao Clan Leader, did Clan Leader Teng Shan say what brought him here?"
Xiao Yan looked at his father and asked.
"I don't know either. Clan Leader Teng Shan only said he wished to meet you and discuss an important matter."
Xiao Zhan shook his head as he spoke.
While speaking, he also secretly surveyed the room out of the corner of his eye.
He had heard that Xiao Mei had not left at all last night.
Could Xiao Mei have already succeeded in becoming intimate with Lord Lin Dong?
If so, the Xiao Clan would have a Dou Wang expert backing it.
When that happened, what would a mere Wutan City count for? Even the Three Great Families in the Jia Ma Empire's imperial capital would never dare look down on the Xiao Clan.
"Mm. Sorry for the trouble, Xiao Clan Leader. Please lead the way!"
Xiao Yan nodded lightly as he spoke.
Just after the two of them left, the Three Xiao Clan Elders emerged from somewhere. They were about to enter the room when Xiao Mei walked out.
"Xiao Mei, how did it go?"
"Did you serve that lord well?"
"Did he do anything to you... hmm?"
The three elders surrounded Xiao Mei and began questioning her.
"..." Xiao Mei was speechless.
These three shameless old bastards!
Was that something they could just ask so casually?
"Please step aside, elders!"
Xiao Mei's pretty face turned cold, and she showed the three elders no warmth.
She was already upset about suddenly blacking out yesterday.
Now, hearing the three elders' words, she inwardly cursed her own uselessness even more for failing to seize yesterday's opportunity.
So she left the three elders behind and walked away on her own.
"What... what exactly is going on?"
Watching Xiao Mei's retreating figure, the Third Elder asked in bewilderment.
"It's already obvious. Xiao Mei must have become intimate with that lord. That's why she dares treat us three elders so rudely!"
"It seems the day of our Xiao Clan's rise isn't far off!"
The Second Elder smiled with an expression that suggested he had seen through everything.
"Hmph. Xiao Mei has only just gained that lord's favor, and she already thinks nothing of us three elders. In my view, this girl cannot shoulder the great undertaking of revitalizing our Xiao Clan."
"As it happens, my granddaughter, Xiao Yu, will soon return from Jia Nan Academy."
"If we can keep that lord here a little longer, once Yu'er returns, she will surely do better than Xiao Mei."
The First Elder snorted coldly, clearly displeased with Xiao Mei's attitude just now.
Nothing had even come of this yet!
And Xiao Mei already dared give the three of them such a sour face.
If she truly won his affection, wouldn't she soar straight into the heavens?
The thought filled the First Elder's heart with anger.
Mittel Tengshan had already been waiting for quite some time in the Xiao Clan Reception Hall.
"Clan Leader Teng Shan, what brings you here to see me?"
A little while later, Xiao Yan finally arrived, guided by Xiao Zhan.
"My young friend Lin Dong, I came today to discuss the matter of the Jia Lie Family with you."
Seeing Xiao Yan arrive, Mittel Tengshan chuckled softly and spoke.
"Please, carry on. I won't stay here and disturb you."
Seeing that the two had important matters to discuss, Xiao Zhan tactfully left.
However, Mittel Tengshan's mention of the Jia Lie Family also stirred a trace of wariness in Xiao Zhan's heart.
Although he did not know exactly what the two intended to do, it certainly had something to do with the Jia Lie Family.
"Clan Leader Teng Shan, have you decided to help me capture the sect traitor?"
After Xiao Zhan left, Xiao Yan's gaze settled on Mittel Tengshan as he spoke.
