Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”I’m going too!”

Hu Ying’er, completely ignoring Luo Qianshan’s peculiar gaze beside her, stepped forward immediately, standing next to Yun Xiao, leaving the group of experts from Yongle Island quite amused.

Perhaps only at this moment did they clearly realize that in the heart of their Island Master, the whole Yongle Island combined is probably less significant than Yun Xiao’s little finger.

However, regarding the Island Master’s decision, they dare not interfere, and also hold a kind of anticipation. Now that Yongle Island is closely relying on Yun Xiao as a big tree, the future development is undoubtedly unlimited.

”I...”

As Xu Hongzhuang and Hu Ying’er spoke successively, Xue Ningxiang, the young lady of Xuanyin Hall, couldn’t stand by either, and immediately wanted to follow suit like the two women.

”You can’t go!”

However, Xue Tianao sternly interrupted as soon as Xue Ningxiang said the first word, causing her to pout and look back at her father with a hint of grievance.

Xue Ningxiang simply couldn’t believe her father wouldn’t see her affection for Yun Xiao, but why was he stopping her now? Moreover, following Yun Xiao, she might be able to learn more things.

”Ningxiang, Xuanyin Hall is newly destroyed, and there’s a lot to be done. We all need to assist the Hall Master in rebuilding Xuanyin Hall first!”

Before Xue Tianao could respond, Lian Yuluo beside him answered softly, his tone carrying a hint of melancholy, loneliness, and undeniable confidence.

Back then, when Wuyan Palace made a massive attack, Xue Tianao activated the Palace Protection Array, forcibly sending the two women and Gu Changsheng out, while everyone left inside the array, except Xue Tianao for certain reasons, perished.

One could say that the current Xuanyin Hall, though having some survivors, still needs these three Heavenly Rank experts to lead. As Lian Yuluo said, the crucial rebuilding of Xuanyin Hall cannot do without them.

”Well... alright!”

Listening to Lian Yuluo, a flash of indecision crossed Xue Ningxiang’s eyes, but ultimately she understood the greater importance and agreed, yet a strange look crossed her eyes in the next moment.

”Aunt Luo, once Xuanyin Hall is rebuilt, you should be together with dad, alright?”

Xue Ningxiang, being straightforward, said whatever crossed her mind. Her words left everyone stunned and turned Lian Yuluo, the Vice Hall Master of Xuanyin Hall, red in the ears.

Even Yun Xiao was unaware of the situation between Xue Tianao and Lian Yuluo, let alone anyone else. Thus, hearing the bold words from Xue Ningxiang was indeed quite unexpected.

”You brat, daring to tease your old man? Look how I won’t smack you!”

Xue Tianao, keeping his composure, spoke reprovingly, then pretended to hit her, watching Xue Ningxiang hide behind Yun Xiao.

”Dad, since mom passed away early, Aunt Luo has been taking care of me all these years. With such deep affection, don’t you understand?”

Xue Ningxiang seemed determined to matchmake the two masters of Xuanyin Hall, hiding behind Yun Xiao while continuing noisily, which made Lian Yuluo’s face even redder.

Truthfully, Xue Ningxiang was well aware that while Lian Yuluo’s affection for her father was deep, her father also wasn’t without feelings for the Vice Hall Master; previously, he only refrained from showing due to concerns for her.

With her own romantic feelings blossomed, Xue Ningxiang could naturally see the suppressed emotions between these two, and now, with Xuanyin Hall facing rebirth, she had no further reservations.

”You girl... still talking!”

Seeing Xue Ningxiang hiding behind Yun Xiao as if she found a great protector, completely ignoring her father, even Xue Tianao felt helpless.

”This... I say, go for it!”

Just as Xue Tianao was contemplating a way to pull Xue Ningxiang out from behind Yun Xiao, unexpectedly, the boy in rough clothes spoke up.

”Yun Xiao, are you also indulging this girl’s foolishness!”

Startled, Xue Tianao was left with some helplessness since he could no longer look at Yun Xiao as a junior.

This boy not only surpassed him in Meridian Qi Cultivation but was also his lifesaver. He knew clearly what happened later inside the Refining Treasure Hall.

”Master Xue, Ningxiang’s words aren’t without reason. Today, in front of everyone, let me, Yun Xiao, do this matchmaking, shall we?”

Not caring about Xue Tianao and Lian Yuluo’s awkwardness, Yun Xiao turned serious. As soon as he spoke, the onlookers, finding it novel, couldn’t miss out on Yun Xiao’s fun.

”Haha, Master Xue, having Yun Xiao as a matchmaker, your face is really something special!”

Ouyang Wuantong, having good relations with these leaders, was the first to laugh. What he said was true; everyone present hoped to connect with Yun Xiao, let alone in such a way.

”Indeed, Master Xue, better agree quickly, as today we are all witnesses!”

Ling Kong Island’s Island Master Li Yunfan, originally a very steady personality, was also letting loose now, after all, this was undoubtedly a great event.

For a moment, the crowd below surged with emotion, causing Lian Yuluo’s face to blush like a big red flower, wishing she could find a hole to dive into.

Although she had long been deeply rooted in feelings for Xue Tianao and knew they would naturally come together one day, she hadn’t expected this day to arrive so suddenly.

Lian Yuluo glanced at Xue Tianao from the corner of her eye, seemingly shy and annoyed, yet her heart was truly joyful. This was a scene she’d imagined for many years and achieved under the encouragement of two young people.

”Yun Xiao, you...”

Even Xue Ningxiang who was hiding behind Yun Xiao was stunned, originally intending for her father and Aunt Luo to come together after rebuilding Xuanyin Hall.

Who knew Yun Xiao would be so opportunistic, turning a Xuanyin Hall private matter like this into a point where refusing would be akin to opposing all heroes under heaven, truly unexpected.

”Master Xue, how can we let the woman speak first in such matters? You need to say something, unless you think Vice Palace Master Lian’s status doesn’t match yours as a Hall Master?”

Seeing Xue Tianao seem to fall into some sort of state, Yun Xiao, feeling exasperated, timely added fuel to the fire. This sentence finally pulled the Xuanyin Hall Master back from distraction.

”No! It’s not that!”

Realizing everyone was looking at him, Xue Tianao, having seen big scenes, and not being indifferent to Lian Yuluo, naturally knew what he needed to do.

”Since Yun Xiao is matchmaking, Yuluo, let’s indulge him, yes?”

Xue Tianao regained his aura as the Xuanyin Hall Master, and as this statement was made, the blush on Lian Yuluo’s face instantly vanished, replaced by an undeniable excitement.

”Tianao, I... I...”

Lian Yuluo’s voice was somewhat choked, allowing many people to see her affection for Xue Tianao, especially people like Qian Sanyuan who often visited Xuanyin Hall over the years, knowing their relationship.

Back when Xue Tianao’s wife died during the difficult birth of Xue Ningxiang, he had always felt guilty, and because of his beloved daughter’s Innate Pulse Cutting, he focused all his energy on this matter over the years.

In fact, since then, Lian Yuluo was practically half a mother to Xue Ningxiang, considering many aspects where Xue Tianao as a father was inconvenient to intervene.

Today, her wishes were finally fulfilled, and one can imagine how excited Lian Yuluo was, almost unable to speak. Yet the next moment, her grateful gaze turned to a certain coarse-clothed young man.

”Yun Xiao, thank you!”

With Lian Yuluo’s intelligence, she understood Yun Xiao was aiding her. If it weren’t for his earlier words, even if Xuanyin Hall were rebuilt, Xue Tianao might not have actually said such words, right?

”Aunt Luo, I’m here too!”

Noticing Lian Yuluo only thanked Yun Xiao, Xue Ningxiang wasn’t happy, emerging from behind Yun Xiao to claim credit, knowing she initiated this matter and couldn’t let that guy take all the credit.

”Yes, yes, you too!”

Lian Yuluo was in great spirits, smiling brightly, though still with tears of excitement, anyone could see her overflowing happiness.

”You brat, come over here now!”

Xue Tianao also scolded with a laugh, truth be told, this matter had been a knot in his heart for a long time, though now ”forced” by external pressure, it actually brought him great relief.

”Haha, this is truly a great story, Master Xue, then we’ll be waiting for your and Yuluo’s wedding wine!”

Qian Sanyuan, a frequent visitor at Xuanyin Hall in those days, was quite familiar with both Xue Tianao and Lian Yuluo, now laughing heartily, leading another chorus of calls for celebratory wine.

”Of course, everyone present today will have to come to Xuanyin Hall for a lively time when the day comes!”

Xue Tianao naturally wouldn’t reject this, though his final gaze lingered on a specific coarse-clothed young man, seeming to hope most to see this uniquely significant youth at the wedding feast.

”If by then I’m still on the Tenglong Continent, I’ll certainly be there!”

However, Yun Xiao’s reply to Xue Tianao’s gaze made the lively atmosphere instantly dim. People seemed to catch the underlying meaning of Yun Xiao’s words.

The boundless excitement due to Yun Xiao’s implied speech turned somewhat forlorn, though some leaders knew Yun Xiao spoke the truth.

Now Yun Xiao is considered the number one strongest in the Tenglong Continent, and with his talent of achieving such a level at twenty years old, this small Tenglong Continent is unlikely to be his final stage.

This extraordinary genius of a demon will eventually leave the Tenglong Continent one day!
