Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor's Son Xiao Yan

Chapter 34 Sending off the granddaughter

At Xiao Yan's suggestion, Yao Lao quickly led him to the Cao family's rest area. As one of the five major families in the Pill Domain, the Cao family's location was not far from the Dan family's.

In terms of grandeur and decoration, the Cao family was no less impressive than the Dan family.

However, if we were to compare them, the entire continent combined might not be able to match the Xiao family.

In a lounge of the Cao family, a faint fragrance lingered. Cao Ying lay on the bed with a pale face, while the Cao family patriarch, Xuan Yi, Xiao Yan, and Yao Lao were on the side.

"What are you doing here?" Xuan Yi asked indifferently, looking at Xiao Yan and his disciples.

Before Yao Lao could speak, Xiao Yan called out first, "Aunt Xuan, I think this competition might have been a bit too much of a shock to Cao Ying because of me. I want to have a good talk with her when she wakes up."

I came here to pay my respects.

Whether it was because of the word "Aunt Xuan" or something else, Xuan Yi glanced at Xiao Yan, then looked back at Cao Ying lying on the bed, her thoughts unreadable.

After a moment, her expression softened slightly, and she said to Xiao Yan with a gentler tone, "Ying'er is much better now, but she still needs to rest for a while."

"Since you're so sincere, I'll leave the care of her to you. When she wakes up, you'd better give her some good advice and guidance. If you cause her any internal injuries from holding it in, I'll be coming after you."

"Don't worry, Aunt Xuan, I will definitely give Junior Sister Cao Ying some guidance." Xiao Yan smiled slightly.

"That brat was definitely up to no good. I tried my best to persuade him to stay, but he insisted on going to the Northwest Continent. As soon as he heard there were beautiful women here, he rushed over."

Looking at Xiao Yan's appearance, Yao Lao couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"You'll do anything to pick up girls, huh?"

Just then, she heard Xuan Yi's voice reach her ears: "Come with me."

"Hehe, I'll stay and keep an eye on things with my disciple." The old doctor forced a fake smile.

"Hmm?" A cold snort rang out from the black-robed figure. The old doctor's face fell, and he obediently followed him out.

"Senior, you don't mind if I cause trouble here, do you?" Xiao Yan glanced at the Cao family patriarch again.

"It's alright, it's alright," the Cao family patriarch waved his hand.

With a slight smile on his old face, he said, "My girl has had a life that's always been too smooth sailing. It might not be a bad thing if she gets thwarted by a genius like you."

"Since you're so kind as to offer some advice to Ying'er, then I'll have to trouble you."

"Senior, you flatter me." Xiao Yan was somewhat surprised by the attitude of the Cao family patriarch. Wasn't this a little too kind?

"Hehe, young friend Xiao Yan, since you are willing to accompany and take care of this little girl from my Cao family, then thank you for your trouble. You can have a good chat when she wakes up."

"Both of you are geniuses; if you can help each other, you'll go even further in the future. This old man won't get in your way anymore. Just tell Qingcui if you need anything."

The Cao family patriarch smiled meaningfully, leaving behind a maid with the cultivation level of Douling, and disappeared from the room.

"How come this old man is so sensible?" Xiao Yan stared dumbfounded at the Cao family patriarch who had disappeared from the spot. He really had the guts to just hand over his precious granddaughter to a stranger he had only met twice.

However, he was quite talkative and had a social butterfly syndrome. Even when Cao Ying was asleep, he could still chat enthusiastically with the maid Qingcui next to him.

Although this lush greenery is only a 6 out of 10 in terms of appearance, it's still passable, and we can chat with it.

In another lounge in the Cao family's rest area, the figure of the Cao family patriarch suddenly appeared on a chair. Flames surged in his palm, and in an instant, a pot of hot tea was boiled.

"It seems that this Xiao Yan has some feelings for Ying'er."

The Cao family patriarch took a sip of hot tea, his mind filled with calculations.

In his mind, Xiao Yan has already become the number one potential prospect.

Being a disciple of the Medicine Venerable is nothing special; Han Feng is also a disciple of Yao Chen, and he is over a hundred years old and still a mid-level seventh-grade alchemist.

However, it's different if he is the young master of the Starfall Pavilion, which means that he will inevitably become a hegemon in the Central State in the future.

Of course, for the Cao family, this is at most equal treatment, since if Yao Chen is excluded, the strength of the Starfall Pavilion may not even be as good as that of the Cao family.

But the talent that Xiao Yan is showing now is truly astonishing.

At the age of fifteen, he possessed the cultivation of a two-star Dou Huang and was a high-level sixth-grade alchemist!

In the Dan Domain, it seems that no one has been able to achieve this level of accomplishment at this age for hundreds of years. With this talent, it wouldn't be difficult for him to become a ninth-grade alchemist, and becoming a Dou Sheng wouldn't be difficult either.

Both of these represent the pinnacle of the Dou Qi Continent, which shows just how terrifying Xiao Yan's potential is.

Moreover, thanks to Cao Ying, he only learned today from Xuan Yi that Xiao Yan was from the Xiao clan and was one of the few holy sons of the Xiao clan in this generation.

The Xiao Clan, the leader of the seven ancient clans, is a force that is rarely seen, but even the slightest glimpse of its power is enough to shock the entire continent.

In particular, it is said that this clan also has the only Dou Di powerhouse on the continent hidden in the wild.

"Xuan Emperor Xiao Xuan!" Even though this powerful figure has not made a move for nearly a thousand years, and some even suspect that he has passed away, anyone who has even the slightest connection with this name is extraordinary.

Because that realm is the supreme realm of this world!

If Cao Ying could become Xiao Yan's partner, the Cao family's power might directly surpass that of the Dan family, and they might even have a brighter future.

"I just don't know if these two are destined to be together." The Cao family patriarch took another sip of tea, his old eyes narrowing slightly.

On the other side, in the Dan family hall, Dan Yangzi was staring at Dan Chen with a beaming smile, his old face as happy as a chrysanthemum.

"Chen'er, aren't you on good terms with that little girl from the Cao family? She's your best friend. She's sick, aren't you going to see her?"

"Grandpa, Xiao Yan is also with Sister Cao Ying. I... I'm a little afraid of him." Dan Chen said pitifully, her little face pouting.

"Silly child, what Grandpa wants is for you to meet Xiao Yan." Danyangzi thought to himself.

The Cao family patriarch had a connection with Xuan Yi, and Dan Yangzi also had some acquaintance with Xuan Kongzi. He had always been envious of Xiao Yan's talent, and after hearing Xuan Kongzi casually reveal that Xiao Yan was the holy son of the Xiao clan, Xuan Kongzi was even more excited.

"That scoundrel likes my granddaughter, right? I'll play matchmaker for him, and deliver her right to his lips. We can't let the Cao family get her first!"

"Chen'er, I think that boy is a bit frivolous, but he's not a malicious person. Besides, with his talent, you two will cross paths sooner or later."

"Communicating with outstanding young people will be very beneficial for your future," Dan Yangzi said, easing Dan Chen's inner pressure.

"But, but I'm really scared of him." Dan Chen said pitifully, her weak appearance quite endearing.

"Sigh, this child is good in every way, except he's too timid and introverted." Dan Yangzi sighed and rubbed his forehead. Dan Chen was born with an ancient spiritual body, destined to become an eighth-grade alchemist.

However, this personality trait can cause problems when encountering bad people!

"No, you must go today, Chen'er. You are the future of our Dan family. You must overcome your fears and difficulties!" Dan Yangzi's expression turned serious.

"I...I will not lose." A weak murmur rang out, and Cao Ying slowly opened her long, beautiful eyes. What came into view was a delicate face that she had dreamed of countless times.
