Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor's Son Xiao Yan

Chapter 73 Brother-in-law

"You, you are the patriarch of the Xiao clan?"

Yao Tian's expression at this moment was quite interesting. ♧⛵ ➅❾ⓢн𝐔ⓧ.𝕔𝐨ᗰ 🎅👹

A mixture of bewilderment, excitement, admiration, and awe appeared on his face.

The Xiao Clan Chief is one of the strongest individuals on the continent, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is second only to one person.

This is an existence capable of suppressing the entire Medicine Clan single-handedly.

Yet he was also a magnificent figure whom countless ancient clans admired and worshipped.

"Yes." Xiao Shaobei nodded gently, a warm smile on his face.

Since becoming the patriarch of the Xiao clan, he had not seen such admiring looks from young people for a long time.

The old folks in the Elder Council have become increasingly lifeless, like they've been sent out of their coffins, making me feel as if I'm dealing with machines every day.

Therefore, he found Yao Tian's gaze very pleasing.

He released Yao Tian's hand and with a gentle wave, Yao Tian silently took a few steps back.

"Why can't young people talk things out properly instead of resorting to violence?"

He wore a peaceful smile, looking as if he had experienced many hardships.

Upon hearing this, Yao Tian's originally respectful expression calmed down slightly.

He was, after all, the strongest prodigy of the Medicine Clan in this generation, and even when facing the Xiao Clan Chief, he still harbored a hint of pride.

He took a deep breath, bowed slightly to Xiao Shaobei, and said, "Senior, it is not that I intend to make things difficult for the Xiao clan's prodigy, but the person behind you is acting too wickedly."

My sister came to the ruins of the Yin-Yang Evil Saint in search of a strange fire. She only agreed to accompany him because he was a member of the Xiao clan, but she never expected that this boy would defile her.

"???" Xiao Shaobei's originally warm smile froze slightly.

He turned around and looked at Xiao Yan behind him.

"Did you do this?"

Xiao Yan nodded and then said, "Clan leader, it was that girl from the Medicine Clan who refined the Yang Fire of the Yin-Yang Evil Saint. I even sacrificed my own body to save her."

"It was her first time, and it was mine too."

As he spoke, Xiao Yan's face still showed a hint of grievance.

Xiao Shaobei's lips twitched a few times.

"Now I finally understand why Langbi chose you."

"Where are the Wave Coins?" Xiao Yan's eyes lit up.

Seeing his appearance, Xiao Shaobei couldn't help but rub his forehead.

How did this guy get recognized by the clan ancestor as the emperor's son?

Thinking of this, he glanced at Yao Tian, ​​who was standing to the side with veins bulging on his forehead from anger, and cleared his throat, saying, "Young man, what's your name?"

Yao Tian glared at Xiao Yan with hatred before bowing slightly to Xiao Shaobei and saying, "Senior, my name is Yao Tian."

"Oh, you're Yao Tian, ​​the genius from the Medicine Clan?" Xiao Shaobei's eyes lit up as he looked at Yao Tian with admiration.

"No wonder, no wonder. I was wondering why there was such a young half-saint on the mainland. It turns out it was you."

"Hehe, that old geezer Yaodan told me about you a long time ago. Meeting you today, I can see you're truly a rising star."

"You flatter me, senior." Yao Tian blushed slightly, a rare occurrence for him.

Being valued so highly by this legendary expert made his heart race, as if he were floating on clouds.

The feeling was as if the patriarch of the Medicine Clan had suddenly presented the patriarch's throne to him and respectfully said, "I am no longer worthy to sit in this position. The future of the Medicine Clan depends on your leadership."

"Heh, the clan leader must have flattered quite a bit back then. It seems that the clan leader of the Xiao clan is quite skilled with words."

No wonder he's such a good buddy with that Yin-Yang Evil Saint; those two were probably birds of a feather back then.

Xiao Yan inwardly complained, but on his face he showed a grateful smile.

"Thank you, clan chief, for getting me out of that predicament."

Upon hearing this, Yao Tian, ​​who was almost floating on air, suddenly came to his senses.

"I am truly flattered by your high regard, senior. However, there must be a conclusion today."

He said with a serious expression.

"What, you want to make a move?" Xiao Shaobei's face immediately darkened.

"No, I wouldn't dare." Yao Tian was startled and said in a deep voice, "I just want this person to come back to the Yao Clan with me so that he can apologize to my sister in person."

Xiao Shaobei turned around and winked at Xiao Yan.

"Not now, I have things to do right now." Xiao Yan shook his head.

"You have to fix the hole you dug yourself," Xiao Shaobei said, staring at Xiao Yan.

"This is the clan ancestor's order!" Xiao Yan said calmly.

"You should have said so earlier, it's nothing." Xiao Shaobei's expression changed drastically upon hearing Xiao Xuan's name.

"Hey, Yao Tian." He slowly walked up to Yao Tian and patted him on the shoulder affectionately.

"Do you know the imperial prince of my Xiao clan?"

"It sounds familiar, but I don't know why," Yao Tian shook his head.

"Come here, I'll tell you." Xiao Shaobei pulled Yao Tian aside and began to whisper.

Xiao Yan didn't know what he said, but he saw that Yao Tian's gaze towards him first turned to disgust, then to shock, then to a hint of respect, and finally to a hint of friendliness.

Xiao Wen, on the other hand, was shocked to see this.

The dignified and solemn image of the clan chief that had always existed was slowly crumbling in his heart.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Yao Tian slowly clasped his hands in a bow to Xiao Shaobei, and then flew towards him.

"Brother-in-law, what are you doing!" Xiao Yan took a step back, his face wary.

However, considering that the clan leader was still by his side, he thought he should be safe from harm.

"Slap!" Yao Tian slapped Xiao Yan's shoulder with his palm, the powerful force almost shattering Xiao Yan's Dou Qi wings.

"Clan leader, this brat is trying to kill me!" Xiao Yan was about to cry for help when he heard Yao Tian's voice in his ear.

"Brother-in-law, cultivate diligently. Once you become a ninth-grade alchemist, come to the Medicine Clan to find my sister as soon as possible."

After saying that, he broke through space and left.

"This..." Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Shaobei with a bewildered expression.

"Chieftain, what did you say to him?"

"I merely revealed your identity and status as the imperial prince to him, and then explained the advantages and disadvantages," Xiao Shaobei said, appearing as if he had kept his merits hidden.

"You're such a closet pervert, no wonder you're called Shao Bei." Xiao Yan bowed to him with clasped hands.

"Thank you for saving us, Chief."

"Hehe, you are the imperial son of my clan, so in terms of status, we are almost equals." Xiao Shaobei waved his hand.

"My status was bestowed upon me by the clan ancestor, but the clan leader's status is earned through his own strength. In my heart, the clan leader is like the bright moon in the night, and no one can compare to the clan leader's magnificence except for the clan ancestor."

Xiao Yan said with a serious expression.

"Ah, that feels so good." Xiao Shaobei suddenly realized that Yao Tian's admiring gaze just now was nothing at all.

His gaze toward Xiao Yan held a newfound intimacy.

"Those with thick skin have a promising future."

"You flatter me, clan leader."

"Hehe." Xiao Shaobei chuckled twice, looking at the ancient city to the side, his eyes filled with excitement and nostalgia.

"A thousand years have passed, Langbi, I've come to save you!"

"Clang! Clang! Clang!" Suddenly, a series of sounds rang out from a strange fire cauldron not far away.

Xiao Yan, who was behind him, suddenly changed his expression.

"Oh no! Elder Wu is still inside!"

Exams started again these past two days, so this is the first update.
