Chapter 355: Let Yun Lan Sect Be Great Again!
Due to Xiao Yan's existence, Yun Lan Sect now began to realize a very serious issue: it seemed that they were losing many talented recruits within the Gama Empire. If it had been the old Yun Lan Sect, the Jia Nan Academy recruitment team would never have been able to enter the Gama Empire so easily, because this was the territory of Yun Lan Sect, and Jia Nan Academy recruiting students from within was somewhat excessive.
However, Yun Lan Sect didn't react to Jia Nan Academy's actions at all. In fact, the higher-ups in Yun Lan Sect were indifferent to the recruitment situation of their disciples, which already revealed the corruption and incompetence within the sect.
Fortunately, the situation had not developed to the point of being completely irreversible. With Yun Shan's return, it meant that Yun Lan Sect would once again become great under the leadership of the Dou Zong ancestors!
A genius like Xiao Yan had temporarily been lost, but as per Yun Lan Sect's strategy of "the pavilion closest to the water gets the moonlight first," even without obtaining the full moon like Xiao Yan, they could still get the reflected light from the moon in the pond.
As long as Xiao Yan's family still needed to live within the Gama Empire, Yun Lan Sect had a chance to bring Xiao Yan back to their side. Of course, they must also bring Jiang Lin to the Yun Lan Sect's side!
"…Thank you!" In the small courtyard, under everyone's watchful eyes, Xiao Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and he finally clenched his bloody fist and cupped it in gratitude toward Yun Yun, who was hovering in the air.
Jiang Lin was right: fortunes and misfortunes are interdependent. What seems like a bad thing can turn into a good one.
Good things can turn bad, and bad things can turn good.
At least from Xiao Yan's perspective, the most important thing was that his father, although disabled and partially paralyzed, was still alive. In this world full of extraordinary power, as long as Xiao Zhan still had a breath left, Xiao Yan could find a way to save him. Moreover, his father's situation was undoubtedly much better now.
His father was alive, and his family had the protection of a powerful sect. How could this be considered a loss?
Moreover, Yun Leng's situation had also awakened Xiao Yan suddenly. He realized that the Xiao family was too weak, and without the protection of a powerful force, even a Dou Ling or Dou Wang could easily destroy the Xiao family!
And Xiao Yan believed that he would undoubtedly encounter such enemies in the future. While he wasn't afraid of retaliation, his family couldn't withstand it!
'Teacher, you're right. If the Xiao family cannot gain the protection of Yun Lan Sect, I wouldn't even want to go to Jia Nan Academy right now,' Xiao Yan silently sighed in his heart as he thought of Yao Chen's words.
If before, Xiao Yan still had some fantasies about Jia Nan Academy, now, after experiencing the cruel reality, he realized that if he didn't properly arrange for his family, he would end up becoming as invincible as Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin possessed two types of invincibility, and Xiao Yan wanted to gain the other kind of invincibility—the more common kind—not the kind with a single-page family register!
But luckily, Yun Lan Sect was still a responsible great sect... at least, that was how it was now. Xiao Yan didn't want to think about how Yun Leng had been the grand elder of Yun Lan Sect anymore. With the protection of Yun Lan Sect, he could leave the Gama Empire with peace of mind and head to Jia Nan Academy in the Black Corner Region.
'It's fine, these are things you need to experience. Yun Leng gave you the deepest lesson at the lowest cost,' Yao Chen sighed faintly in the ring. Honestly, Xiao Yan's situation was beyond Yao Chen's understanding. From a young age, Yao Chen never had to worry about someone attacking his family out of revenge. Generally speaking, it was Yao Chen who couldn't beat someone, and his family would intervene to teach the enemy what cruelty was.
"Leave the criminal Yun Leng to you," Yun Yun said, and after speaking, she disappeared. At this moment, Jiang Lin, with Hai Bodong behind him, also moved forward.
The Xiao family's matter was settled, and now Jiang Lin needed to take care of his own affairs.
After Jiang Lin and his group left, Xiao Yan and the rest of the Xiao family members focused their attention on Yun Leng, who was still lying on the ground, searching for his teeth.
At this moment, the old Nalan patriarch realized that he should not stay in place any longer, so he immediately gestured to the extremely complex-faced Nalan Yanran, and the two of them lightly cupped their fists and excused themselves, leaving the remaining time to the Xiao family.
"Ugh!!" At this moment, Yun Leng also noticed the angry Xiao family members, whose eyes were red and filled with rage, wanting to tear him apart. Realizing how dangerous his situation was, he immediately tried to stand up and escape. However, having lost his Dou Qi, how could he escape from Xiao Yan's iron-claw-like hands?
"Where do you think you're going? I told you, you belong to us now," Xiao Yan said with a cruel smile as Yun Leng stiffly turned around.
"Ah!!"
"What's wrong? Something going on?" Outside Wutan City, Yun Yun stopped and slightly tilted her head, leaving a perfect profile for Jiang Lin, who was following behind.
"I've already done enough for the Xiao family. Sometimes, too much is as bad as too little," Yun Yun said softly, thinking that Jiang Lin had come because of the Xiao family's matter.
However, Jiang Lin interrupted her with a light laugh. "No, you've done enough for the Xiao family. Everything that needed to be shown has been shown. If it's attitude you need, you've got it. If it's execution, you've got that too. Yun Lan Sect is now paving a broader path for itself."
"After all, Yun Lan Sect needs to become great again. Some sacrifices in the beginning are necessary. And, you can think of it as an investment in a young genius, can't you?"
"But I'm not here just for this. Actually, I would have come to see you even without this incident. I just happened to be passing by. I came because you would be here."
"...Please keep it brief, thank you," Yun Yun said, feeling her head grow heavy from Jiang Lin's long-winded words. If Hai Bodong hadn't been standing beside Jiang Lin, she would have definitely rolled her eyes at him.
"Heh." Jiang Lin smiled and then said softly, "I want to go to the Magical Beast Mountain and would like to invite you to come along. It's for safety."
"Other Dou Huang in the Gama Empire aren't suitable. You're the only one who fits," Jiang Lin smiled slightly.
Behind him, Hai Bodong couldn't help but twitch his face.
Other Dou Huang aren't suitable?
Wasn't he a Dou Huang?
Hai Bodong: "Am I not a Dou Huang?! I'm a Dou Huang, aren't I?!"
