Fortunately, Yao Chen's elixir refining speed this time was much faster than they imagined.

Probably because his soul power has recovered more.

Xiao Yan was also lucky enough to visit Yao Chen's alchemy refining this time. Although Yao Chen had been teaching him the alchemy refining technique recently, the opportunity to refine a fifth-grade elixir was still a big deal for Xiao Yan.

Very beneficial.

So on the morning of the third day, Xiao Lin and Xiao Yan, who were ready to go, took the elixir and Yaochen, who was sleeping and resting in the ring.

Heading towards the desert border.

…

Wutan City, Xiao Family.

The Xiao family itself had no reaction to Xiao Yan's departure.

The fourth young master is not an ordinary person, and he often disappears for a period of time. For most people in the Xiao family, this incident is already very common.

The Xiao family has been growing in strength in the past two years, so under such conditions, everyone has also enjoyed better treatment.

The time has come for those children who were recruited from all directions by members of the Xiao family assigned by Xiao Lin to show off their talents.

After the early training of the Xiao family, among the hundreds of children who were bought, there are still some with high talents, and there are even a few people whose talents are comparable to Xiao Yan.

That's a good thing.

But now it is Xiao Ding who is handling this. Speaking of it, he still has a headache in doing this matter.

Not all children are as mature as these few in their family.

The old people of the Xiao family had no hope for the future, so they stayed in the family with peace of mind to teach the younger generations.

But since Xiao Lin used his big tricks to give them the opportunity to break through to a higher realm, they are no longer content with this kind of life.

Who would want to die if given a chance to live?

So during this period, Xiao Ding was under a lot of pressure.

The clan elders began to retreat one after another, as if they were competing. Xiao Ding was a little surprised that such old people still behaved in such a angry manner.

Everyone in the Eternal Life Palace has been sent out, and now the only people Xiao Ding can use are those from the Xiao family.

It is always impossible to let someone who is too old to manage children, because those children will not listen.

Only those children are willing to listen to what he says, and can obey and implement it.

Xiao Ding didn't know why at first, but later he found out that it was because his grandfather had intervened.

Xiao Lin hopes that he can firmly control the next generation of the Xiao family in his hands.

Although Xiao Ding didn't know why, grandpa's decision was always right.

On the other side, Xun'er, who was nominally a member of the Xiao family, was thinking about other things because of Xiao Yan's departure.

"Actually, we shouldn't be anxious about this matter. It has been almost four years since Miss Xiao came to Xiao's house, and she has never been able to get her hands on that piece of jade.

Although there are many reasons, Master Xiao Yan may not be a good choice.

It would be better for the young lady to focus on others. If she is always by Master Xiao Yan's side, she may not be able to get what the clan wants.

What's more, the water in the Xiao family is getting deeper and deeper, and even I can't see through it. Miss, you might as well find out the secrets of the Xiao family, so that you can have an explanation with the family."

"What other secrets can the Xiao family have?

Their family has been in decline for so many years, and Mr. Ling, what I do is my own business, and no one in the family can interfere with me.

Since my father chose to send me here, he must have his own reasons. This is my father's trust in me, and I cannot live up to it."

Xun'er spoke so forcefully that Ling Ying couldn't say anything else.

But he couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart.

People say that it is hard for a girl to stay in college, but Miss Xun'er has not yet grown up, and her heart is no longer with the family.

As the saying goes, the authorities are obsessed but those who watch are clear. Miss Xun'er has not taken action for a long time. Ling Ying actually knows the reason why.

The young lady who had always been indifferent smiled like a flower when she faced Xiao Yan.

This is not necessarily a good thing.

Ling Ying personally has no objection to Xiao Yan.

Over the years in the Xiao family, he has also seen Xiao Yan's efforts in cultivation.

But after all, some gaps cannot be made up with hard work, and no one knows this better than Ling Ying.

Although he himself was born in an ancient tribe, he is just an ordinary descendant. It is not easy to cultivate to the current level.

Now that he is with Xun'er, he has found a good job for himself, and will naturally have a good future.

But that's if nothing goes wrong.

If something happens to Xun'er here, or something unexpected happens.

Then the only way waiting for him is death.

He persuaded Xun'er to complete the mission as soon as possible and return to the family. In fact, he had his own selfish motives.

Anyway, under Gu Yuan's arrangement, he is bound to Miss Xun'er for the rest of his life. The longer he stays in the Xiao family, the more things may change. But if he returns to the ancient clan, it will be different.

.

"Since the young lady has made a decision in her heart, the old slave cannot interfere with the young lady's decision. However, the number of urgings from the clan is getting more and more frequent. I think it is also because of the young lady..."

"Okay, Mr. Ling, you have been talking more and more recently. If you have the spare time to persuade me here, why not go find brother Xiao Yan and see where he has gone."

Xun'er is not a simple child after all, her soul is always much more mature than her peers.

"In my opinion, most of the secrets of the Xiao family can be found in brother Xiao Yan.

For the remaining part, maybe some clues can be found in brother Xiao Ding...

And that Concubine Ya, she might know a little bit about it too.

Since the clan is so urgently urging me, I really can’t do nothing. Mr. Ling, you’d better go and investigate Brother Xiao Yan’s movements, and I’ll go ask Brother Xiao Ding.”

Since Xun'er insists on doing this, Ling Ying naturally cannot disobey Xun'er's wishes.

But what made him happy was that the young lady finally started to do serious business.

When staying by the young lady's side, Ling Ying sometimes didn't know what Xun'er was thinking.

After all, Xun'er is not a simple child, but in any case, now that she has started to do serious things, it is worth being happy.

After Ling Ying and Xun'er determined what they should do next, they left Xun'er's room.

Although there was a maid arranged by the Xiao family waiting outside Xun'er's room, it still didn't take much effort for a Dou Huang to hide from the eyes of a group of people who had not practiced.

After he left, Xun'er also showed a thoughtful expression on her face.

"This matter is indeed troublesome. The clan has urged me so many times for that piece of jade.

Thinking about it, if I don't take action, it is very likely that the clan will use violence.
