1056. Exploring from Multiple Perspectives
"If that's really the case, then why me?" Xiao Yan's doubts remained unresolved after hearing this.
"Moreover, I still have the power of the Heavenly Phoenix in my body. The source of this energy is mysterious. The only one I can think of is you, who consumed the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit. I also don't understand why this is the case."
During the battle that day, Xiao Yan originally only intended to join forces with Zi Yan to fight the enemy, but things took an unexpected turn.
If it were just about fighting side by side, that could happen to other people, such as Elder Qingshan or Elder Qingmu, but it didn't happen to Xiao Yan.
Lei Jingxiao could only shake his head helplessly when he heard this question: "Big brother, I really don't know the answers to these questions. As magical beasts, the Dragon Clan has very few records left behind, and the Dragon Emperor's bloodline has been missing for many years. Even my aunt said that it's hard to tell if this news is true or false. It just happened that you mentioned it today."
Xiao Yan nodded. In fact, he had already obtained a lot of important information from Lei Jingxiao and had a rough idea of what had happened. Xiao Yan secretly wrote it down, thinking that he would ask the patriarch about it when he went to the Heavenly Tomb to see him next time. With his experience, he would probably have some new insights.
Seeing Lei Jingxiao, Zi Yan said with some curiosity, "I originally thought you didn't know anything, but I didn't expect you to know so much about our Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan."
These words were unintentional, but upon hearing them, Lei Jingxiao immediately recalled how, during his arduous cultivation, he had diligently inquired about the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan from his aunt, showing particular interest in it, which was why he remembered them until today. Such is the nature of a young person's thoughts; once exposed, they become extremely flustered.
"Yes...yes, I already know a lot, so don't underestimate me."
"Knowing all this is useless. Come and spar with me sometime. Only being able to fight counts as real skill!" Even after becoming the Dragon Emperor, Zi Yan's nature remained unchanged. At this moment, she clenched her small fist and shook it.
Despite the significant difference in strength between himself and Zi Yan, Lei Jingxiao showed no fear. Instead, he stood tall and replied, "Come on then! Don't think that just because you're strong, I'll be afraid of you!"
"Hey, I didn't expect you to be so tough. I've been too free lately, so I'll give you some pointers!" Zi Yan was immediately intrigued by Lei Jingxiao.
Upon hearing this news, Lei Jingxiao subconsciously glanced at Xiao Yan, who smiled slightly and nodded.
Although Zi Yan's strength far surpasses Lei Jingxiao's, she is also very discreet and would never do anything to truly harm him. Their interaction is more accurately described as playful banter than a real fight.
Moreover, Zi Yan has almost fully recovered, and a little activity will not have any impact on her.
Having gained Xiao Yan's approval, Lei Jingxiao immediately agreed: "Okay, let's go now!"
The two rushed out the door, and Xiao Yan laughed again as he watched their retreating figures. Zi Yan's personality was vastly different from that of ordinary women; she might not accept being treated like an ordinary person. However, in terms of belligerence, she and Lei Jingxiao shared many similarities.
At present, it seems that Lei Jingxiao may have just stumbled upon a path that suits Zi Yan's tastes by sheer luck. However, whether it can proceed smoothly or not, Xiao Yan does not know.
After finishing his business here, Xiao Yan thought of Yao Lao, who was also undergoing treatment. He thought to himself, since he was already here, he might as well go and visit his injured teacher.
Xiao Yan moved swiftly and quickly arrived at the door of Yao Lao's residence. He gently knocked and said, "Teacher, are you there?"
Then the old doctor's voice immediately rang out: "I'm here, come in."
As soon as Xiao Yan entered, he saw Yao Lao sitting on the bed, while Qing Xianzi was on the side, holding a medicine bowl in her hands, obviously serving Yao Lao.
Originally, this task should have been assigned to Xuan Yi, who hadn't participated in the raid. However, Xuan Kongzi remained at the Pill Tower, and He Ning, who was in charge of affairs on the Alliance side, unfortunately perished in the great battle. Now, Xuan Yi was the only one left to manage the Pill Tower's affairs. Although she was worried about Yao Lao, she simply didn't have time to come here specifically. In contrast, Qing Xianzi was much more relaxed; the affairs of the Flower Sect were basically decided by Hua Xianzi and their successor. Now, Yao Qingyu was also gradually taking over the affairs of the Flower Sect and beginning to show her talent.
The reason why Yao Lao was so badly injured was mainly because he faced the soul light that absorbed the remnant soul of the Spirit Emperor head-on. The attack that pierced through his body continuously assaulted Yao Lao's body, and the impact of Ling Yuan's self-destruction only made things worse.
Moreover, such injuries require rest and recuperation. Even though the Pill Tower has reserves of high-grade pills, they dare not use anything too strong or drastic for the time being. After resting for so long, he is now truly out of danger.
Seeing that Yao Lao's complexion was still acceptable and his fighting spirit had gradually stabilized, Xiao Yan's worries lessened considerably.
"Teacher, how is your injury now? Is there any discomfort anywhere?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine now." As a ninth-grade alchemy master, Yao Lao naturally knew his physical condition better than others. "If it weren't for the Soul Hall guys' ruthless methods as always, I wouldn't have been lying here for so long."
"Where are you, Master's wife?" Xiao Yan didn't forget Qing Xianzi who was standing to the side.
Qingxianzi smiled leisurely: "He's fine now, so I'm even less likely to be. As long as certain people don't deliberately provoke me, there won't be any problems."
Immediately, Qing Xianzi's gaze fell upon Yao Lao, and their eyes met. Yao Lao couldn't help but laugh heartily. Although Xiao Yan was unaware of what had transpired between them, the bond between Yao Lao and Qing Xianzi was undeniably genuine. After years of separation, their reunion was a testament to their mutual respect and affection. Now, enjoying this rare moment of leisure alone, they found a unique kind of pleasure in it.
Qingxianzi was just joking, and then took the initiative to say, "I've been here for quite a while, so I'm going out for some fresh air. You two can stay here."
After Qingxianzi left, Xiao Yan was still a little worried, so he took the initiative to examine Yao Lao again. Yao Lao's health could not be taken lightly, and it was necessary to make sure that there would be no hidden dangers.
Yao Lao immediately noticed Xiao Yan's worry and did not stop him from taking action.
"Although this body was reconstructed by you, I still know my own condition. You shouldn't focus your attention on this old man." Although he said that, Yao Lao was quite pleased with Xiao Yan's concern.
He only had one precious disciple, whom he truly treated as his own son. In fact, there was no difference between how he treated Xiao Yan and how he treated his own daughter, Yao Qingyu.
