Chapter 354: Yun Lan Sect is Also a Responsible Great Sect!
"I can understand... well, actually, not really. Yun Lan Sect should give you an explanation." Jiang Lin subconsciously started speaking nonsense, but quickly realized his words were wrong. However, after thinking for a moment, it seemed like it wasn't entirely incorrect.
Because Jiang Lin himself was an invincible person, someone whose family registration only had one page, he couldn't fully understand someone like Xiao Yan, who had a family tree.
Of course, if we talk about family trees, Jiang Lin also seemed to have one... but that thing, Jiang Lin would rather not have.
Everything on the family tree, one by one, was not something good—at least for most people, including Jiang Lin himself.
Someone might say, maybe Jiang Lin was talking about the maternal family tree, and the paternal family tree might not be like that?
Hmm... just a little thought.
Clink (Dice rolling)
If a person had never heard of it, it should all be treated as bad things.
"Also, haven't you just exposed your weakness? You have protection from experts, but your family members don't. If you continue offending Yun Lan Sect, what will happen to your family after you leave?" Jiang Lin knew that Yun Yun was already chasing Yun Leng, and he didn't want Xiao Yan to keep "acting foolishly."
So Jiang Lin couldn't understand why Xiao Yan suddenly started hating Yun Lan Sect again. After all, Yun Leng was now an invincible person and no longer a part of Yun Lan Sect—free to roam as he wished, both in the heavens and on earth.
Bang!
A heavy object suddenly fell to the ground outside!
Hmm... well, an invincible person has been captured alive. Jiang Lin silently mocked in his heart as the commotion outside just began.
"Yun Lan Sect's abandoned disciple, the criminal Yun Leng, has been captured!" Outside, Yun Yun's cold voice sounded with great formality.
"You see, sometimes, who is the enemy and who is the ally requires a pair of sharp eyes to discern for yourself," Jiang Lin took a step back, silently watching Xiao Yan, whose expression was complex. He spoke softly.
At this moment, outside, Yun Yun, Hai Bodong, the old Nalan patriarch, and others were waiting for Xiao Yan's response.
Inside the room, Jiang Lin was also waiting for Xiao Yan's reply.
It seemed, at that moment, Xiao Yan had become the center of the Gama Empire.
However, this was all just a fantasy.
Jiang Lin silently observed Xiao Yan, whose expression shifted between anger and daze, his golden eyes deep and unfathomable like a bottomless abyss.
Jiang Lin's identity was extremely complex because he was so invincible.
So much so that the Gama Royal Family had chosen to bet on the Lanying Family to align themselves with Jiang Lin's forces.
And now, Yun Lan Sect had chosen to bet on Xiao Yan, hoping to tie themselves to Jiang Lin's chariot.
Beyond that, they couldn't find any way to grasp the elusive Jiang Lin.
Originally, Xiao Yi Xian and the others had been an opportunity, but Xiao Yi Xian and the others had no intention of staying in the Gama Empire. By the time the high-ranking officials of Gama had noticed them, they had already embarked on their journey out of the Gama Empire.
Sometimes, people need a weakness, at least to let others know it's a weakness. And based on that weakness, both sides could establish a very abstract, but indeed, not unbreakable—though certainly very strong—alliance.
Jiang Lin had once told Xiao Yan that he was a tiger hiding its wings.
"Jiang Lin is right, you still have your family. If you want to study peacefully at the Jia Nan Academy, you must arrange your family properly. And Jiang Lin... from the beginning, has offered you a whole new option." Just as Xiao Yan struggled with whether to accept Yun Lan Sect's goodwill, Yao Chen's old voice rang in his mind.
Now, Yao Chen's address for Jiang Lin had shifted from the evil spirit race brat, to spirit race brat, to that guy, and finally to Jiang Lin. This represented the gradual fading of Yao Chen's prejudice against Jiang Lin's spirit race bloodline.
Because Jiang Lin was truly against the heavens, even Yao Chen hadn't realized that the Yun Lan Sect, whom Xiao Yan had once seen as an enemy, under Jiang Lin's manipulation, had become the power best suited to protect the Xiao family in the entire Gama Empire!
And despite the fact that the Yun Leng incident should have been a very malicious event, Yao Chen suddenly realized that Yun Leng was actually sent to deliver a huge opportunity to the Xiao family!
Yun Shan had just promised to look after the Xiao family, and now, he had 'sent' Yun Leng to destroy the Xiao family! This manner of "care" almost matched the ancient clans like the Soul Clan.
The Xiao family had indeed suffered significant damage, with much of their wealth destroyed and their assets utterly ruined.
But this also meant that now, the Xiao family had the conditions to migrate!
Yin and Yang alternate, fortunes and misfortunes are intertwined! Extreme adversity brings prosperity!
Yun Leng wasn't here to destroy the Xiao family! He was clearly here to deliver a huge opportunity to them!
"I understand, teacher." Xiao Yan remained silent for a moment, then stood up quietly. He glanced at his father, lying on the bed, and his eyes flickered with determination. Under Jiang Lin's watchful gaze, he walked toward the door, opened it with a creak, and appeared before Yun Yun and the others.
At that moment, Xiao Yan also saw the people outside. On the ground were his Xiao family members and Hai Bodong, while above, standing against the wall, was a graceful woman in a conical hat and a green robe.
Xiao Yan lowered his head and saw Yun Leng, bloodied and unconscious, lying on the ground.
At this moment, Yun Leng's mouth was stuffed with cloth, and as he felt the angry gazes around him, he struggled to spit it out. He was about to shout, but a gust of wind hit him, and a solid fist landed directly on his front teeth. With a loud crack, Yun Leng fell to the ground, blood spilling from his mouth, searching for his teeth as he howled in pain.
"Ah!! You bastards!! I will kill you all!!!"
"When I return, I'll have the old sect leader judge this! I'll make sure to kill you filthy bastards!!!"
However, Xiao Yan ignored Yun Leng's wails. He raised his head and looked up at Yun Yun, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Sect Leader Yun, is this man now in our hands?"
"It should be so." Yun Yun's voice was cold.
"This man is no longer a member of Yun Lan Sect and cannot represent the sect's stance. However, this matter ultimately stemmed from Yun Lan Sect's lack of discipline, and Yun Lan Sect is willing to take responsibility for the Xiao family's losses. At the same time, Yun Lan Sect invites the Xiao family to migrate to Gama Holy City and will provide protection for the Xiao family."
Previously, Yun Shan had verbally promised to look after the Xiao family, but now, Yun Lan Sect was directly showing their stance by offering to protect them.
"As compensation for Yun Leng's actions as a discarded disciple, Yun Lan Sect is willing to lower the threshold for disciple recruitment over the next ten years, allowing more Xiao family disciples to go to Yun Lan Sect to learn and cultivate."
Yun Yun's words were not just for Xiao Yan.
She was speaking to the entire Gama Empire:
Yun Lan Sect is a responsible great sect.
The pride of Xiao Yan, a son of heaven, had been drawn away by the distant Jia Nan Academy... Now that Yun Shan had emerged from seclusion, he was ready to change the current atmosphere.
