In the temple on the other side of the mountain range where the Xiao Family ancestral grounds were located, two slender youths stood opposite each other, dressed in black classical robes, wearing pointed soft hats, and with a monocle over their right eye.
One of them had eyes as pure as a newborn, while the other's eyes were as deep as the cosmos.
"Tsk, Wu Meng gave you such a personality, it reminds me of someone."
Amon, whose eyes were as deep as the cosmos, raised his right hand and tapped the bottom edge of his monocle with his index finger.
He was the main body of Amon who had rushed from the Black-Corner Region, and because he possessed Space Fire, his journey was very fast, not consuming too much time on the long road.
Amon, whose eyes were as pure as a newborn, responded:
"Isn't this personality good? The Xiao Family people will lower their guard because of my behavior; they have integrated Worms of Spirit, and they are also worried about being controlled by me.
"The more indifferent my emotions, and the more I act like a machine that only responds by instinct, the more at ease they will be."
Amon smiled: "No, it's very good."
A golden flame appeared in his hand, which he sent into the Priest Amon's body.
"This is a sub-flame of the Flame of Destiny. With this, we can contact each other remotely. As for how far, I haven't tested it, but I can use it to contact 'Zhou Mingrui' who is far away in the Black-Corner Region.
"It can split into sub-flames again; you can use it as you see fit… but don't split too many out, this thing is very dangerous."
"I understand." Priest Amon nodded.
"Are you going north now?" A voice sounded. Xiao Yuanshan Amon, with white hair and a hint of gloom and ruthlessness between his brows, walked over.
The main body of Amon chuckled: "Yes, I have a premonition that there's something I want there."
Wu Meng responded: "I hope so. You can rest assured and leave Xiao Yan to me. I will have Xiao Zhan guide him and point him in the right direction at critical junctures."
The main body of Amon raised an eyebrow: "Xiao Zhan?"
Wu Meng revealed a smile and pinched the corner of his right eye:
"Isn't this very interesting? When the future Xiao Yan looks back and finds traces of being manipulated all along, and the person who manipulated his life is actually his father.
"I look forward to the scene where Xiao Zhan takes off his black robe's hood in front of Xiao Yan and tells him, 'I am your father'… That will definitely be very interesting."
The main body of Amon was startled, then also smiled: "That's quite interesting, I'll wait for this good show."
...
Due to the pressure of the three-year agreement with Yun Shan, Xiao Yan dared not relax for a moment. Although Qing Meng was diligent and worked tirelessly, spending half of his day circulating Flame Mantra for Xiao Yan, even if he did nothing, his cultivation time would exceed that of most people.
But this was still not enough; defeating Yun Shan in three years could not be achieved by bitter cultivation alone.
Xiao Yan ignored Medusa's displeasure and returned to Wu Tan City as quickly as possible. He planned to inform his father of the outcome of the three-year agreement and then immediately set off for Jia Nan Academy.
Upon arriving at the Xiao Family, a little girl with two pigtails was playing at the entrance. She looked at the slowly approaching young man, her face first showing a trace of thought, then a look of sudden realization.
"Cousin Xiao Yan, you're back." The little girl stepped forward to greet him.
"You are… Xiao Qing." Xiao Yan thought for a while before remembering who this little girl, who had grown quite a bit, was.
"Cousin, have you fought with that bad guy who bullied our family? Did you win?"
Seeing the expectant look on Xiao Qing's face, Xiao Yan patted her head and said with a smile: "Of course I won. I came back to tell Father this news. Where is he?"
Xiao Qing didn't answer Xiao Yan's question and excitedly ran into the Xiao Family, shouting as she ran:
"Cousin Xiao Yan won! He won against that big bad guy!"
Seeing Xiao Qing's excitement, Xiao Yan also showed a trace of a smile. The Xiao Family's disgrace was finally washed away.
Entering the main courtyard and arriving at the deliberation hall, he saw the three Elders seemed to be discussing something.
When they saw Xiao Yan, they stopped their discussion and greeted him proactively: "Young Clan Leader!"
"May I know where my father is now?" Xiao Yan asked.
The Third Elder gently lowered his right hand, which had been resting on the corner of his right eye, and replied:
"The Clan Leader went to meet an important person and is temporarily not in the clan. As expected, he should return in about a week."
Xiao Yan frowned slightly. A week, not too long, not too short. After thinking for a while, he said: "Then I'll wait for a week…"
Before he could finish, he heard a surprised shout: "Xiao Yan."
Xiao Yan turned his head and saw his father striding towards them.
After a long separation, seeing his father, his former reliance, again, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
"Father… didn't the Elders say you were…"
"Haha, I suddenly remembered that the three-year agreement had just passed, and you might be returning these days, so I sped up." Xiao Zhan said with a smile.
Although the body belonged to Amon, the one controlling this body was indeed Xiao Zhan himself.
Amon integrated a Worm of Spirit into Xiao Zhan's body, deeply merging with him.
Then, this Worm of Spirit connected spiritually with the Amon impersonating Xiao Zhan in the Xiao Family through the Flame of Destiny, and then shared this connection with Xiao Zhan.
Thus, Xiao Zhan could remotely control Xiao Zhan Amon located in Wu Tan City.
"How are things? Did you really win?" Although Xiao Zhan had already heard Xiao Qing Amon's shouting when he just entered, he still couldn't help but confirm again.
"I won. The humiliation Nalan Yanran brought to me and the Xiao Family, I've returned it all." Xiao Yan said with a smile.
"Hahaha, Xiao Yan, well done! Let those who once looked down on us open their eyes and see, my son, Xiao Zhan, is by no means a good-for-nothing!" Xiao Zhan laughed triumphantly.
Afterward, Xiao Yan glanced at the three Elders, hesitatingly wanting to say something, but each time the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back.
Seeing him like this, Xiao Zhan knew that Xiao Yan had something he wanted to tell him privately, so he said:
"We haven't seen each other for so long, let's have a good chat, just us two father and son. Come to my room."
After the two arrived in Xiao Zhan's room, Xiao Zhan said: "Alright, Xiao Yan, now it's just the two of us. Tell me what's on your mind."
Xiao Yan organized his words and said: "Actually, some other things happened during these two years, which led to other entanglements between me and the Yunlan Sect, and Nalan Yanran. When I was in the Monster Mountain Range…"
After listening to Xiao Yan recount his story with Yun Yun, Xiao Zhan fell into a strange silence.
In the Monster Mountain Range, within the Xiao Family's ancestral grounds, Xiao Zhan's main body held its breath, a look of astonishment on his face.
What the hell? Not only did you defeat Nalan Yanran, but you also slept with her teacher?
Wait, isn't Nalan Yanran's teacher the Sect Master of the Yunlan Sect?
