1002. Eve of the Alliance
If it's a trip during this period, it would be a rare opportunity for Ziyan to go out.
In subsequent consultations, the two sides held completely different opinions on this point.
Donglong Island even preferred to send Elders Qingmu and Qingshan together rather than let Ziyan go. However, Ziyan's current status was indeed unquestionable, and going to Xingyun Pavilion was indeed a legitimate matter. After all, the two elders were only assisting Ziyan; she was the true new Dragon Emperor recognized by the Dragon Clan, and her status was extraordinary.
Ultimately, both sides compromised, and the result was that Zi Yan and Elder Qingshan would go to Xingyun Pavilion together, while Elder Qingmu, who had recovered quite a bit with the help of Bodhi Seed, would stay behind on Donglong Island.
Zi Yan could only participate in the initial alliance discussions of the Starfall Pavilion. The later details were left to Elder Qingshan to handle, and Zi Yan had to rush back to the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.
Although Ziyan herself was still somewhat unwilling, this had already taken both sides into consideration as much as possible, and she finally agreed.
After all, Xiao Yan still felt somewhat guilty in the end. The alliance with the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void was naturally agreed upon, but at this point, he was indeed a bit too anxious to urge them.
The division within the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan hadn't even been resolved, yet preparations for an alliance were already underway. However, Xiao Yan knew that Little Fairy Doctor's urging was based on her judgment; a mobilization was now imperative. Since Little Fairy Doctor had made that request, Xiao Yan would comply, even if it meant offending someone.
The departure of two powerful figures, Zi Yan and Elder Qingshan, from Donglong Island was a matter of great significance, so apart from Elder Qingshan, few other members of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan knew about it. In their hearts, Zi Yan's safety even took precedence over the safety of the Donglong Island headquarters.
On the way to the Starfall Pavilion, the other two did not appear; Xiao Yan led the way the entire time.
As they prepared to depart, Xiao Yan noticed that Zi Yan's aura had significantly improved since the day of the battle between the Four Dragon Islands. According to Zi Yan herself, this was because the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit didn't work immediately; it continuously aided her growth within her body, allowing Zi Yan, originally a dragon, to advance at a speed surpassing many human powerhouses.
This was originally the biggest weakness of magical beasts. Their innate strength far surpassed that of humans, but because they lacked the advantage in acquired talent, they often failed to produce truly top-tier powerhouses. The Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, however, could solve this problem at its root.
There was a small incident during this time: Xiao Yan noticed that Lei Jingxiao's behavior became somewhat strange after his failed attempt to express his feelings. He liked to secretly watch Zi Yan, but he was also very afraid that she would find out. He would even become visibly nervous whenever Zi Yan got close to him.
When Wei Jiangyuan found out, he didn't forget to give Lei Jingxiao special tutoring, although Xiao Yan was very skeptical about the final result.
Upon reaching the Dou Sheng realm, one can freely control space. With a clear objective this time, Xiao Yan and his companions traveled from the void space where Donglong Island was located to Zhongzhou with almost no effort, and then quickly arrived at the Xingyun Pavilion.
When Xiao Yan reappeared above the Starfall Pavilion, he couldn't help but gasp.
Currently, the Starfall Pavilion is filled with the auras of numerous Dou Sheng-level powerhouses. None of these powerhouses that Xiao Yan sensed at the first moment were Dou Zun; they were all at least Half-Saint level.
"If the alliance truly succeeds, their strength will indeed be enough to rival the families descended from Dou Di!"
Xiao Yan hadn't expected that even though he arrived just in time, he seemed to be the last to arrive. The representatives of the forces that had agreed to form an alliance earlier had all arrived much faster than him.
After Xiao Yan and his group of five arrived at the Starfall Pavilion Plaza, they immediately saw the child who was actually the Pill Tower Ancestor and Fairy Hua from the Flower Sect watching the young disciples of the Starfall Pavilion practice.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Xiao Yan understood that Little Fairy Doctor and all the other parties had the same notification time: the meeting and negotiations among all forces would take place tomorrow!
With these powerful figures arriving one after another, as the Starfall Pavilion disciples put it, even if the sky were to collapse, they would have no fear. With these experts present, they couldn't imagine what problem they couldn't solve. Even the Soul Hall would feel powerless in the face of such a powerful alliance.
Upon returning to Xingyun Pavilion, the first thing Xiao Yan did was to have a meal with his father, elder brother, sister-in-law, Xun'er, Little Fairy Doctor, and Xiao Qingqing, his closest family members.
During this time, Xiao Zhan, Xiao Yan's father, was also very emotional. Xiao Yan was too busy and too tired. He had just finished searching for the ancestor in the Heavenly Tomb and had already thrown himself back into the affairs of the alliance.
During that time, Xiao Yan returned to Xingyun Pavilion once, but he was so busy that he didn't even have time to see his father. After learning about the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan from Xiao Yixian, he went straight there.
As family members, Xiao Ding and Xiao Zhan knew how difficult things had been for Xiao Yan, and they tried their best not to hold him back. However, as father and elder brother, they also felt incredibly sorry for Xiao Yan.
Sometimes they don't want Xiao Yan to be too tired, but it's not easy to say even that to him, because Xiao Yan's tiredness is beyond his control. Forcing him to come back might only increase his stress.
From the outside, the Xiao Clan and the Starfall Pavilion appear to be enjoying great success, but in reality, the vast majority of the burdens fall on Xiao Yan's shoulders.
However, Xiao Yan's sister-in-law Lu Qing and Little Fairy Doctor were both extremely intelligent people. Seeing that the mood was about right, they changed the subject in time.
Little Fairy Doctor told Xiao Yan some good news: his elder brother Xiao Ding and sister-in-law were also pregnant, and soon they would be adding another member to their little family.
Xiao Yan was genuinely happy about this. He had worked tirelessly and with all his might for the happiness and safety of his family, and the atmosphere of the meal was quite pleasant in the end.
After finishing their meal, Xiao Yan, Xun'er, Little Fairy Doctor, and Xiao Qingqing returned to their room. This was Xiao Yan's true little family; no matter how busy he was, there was always time for them.
Inside the room, Xiao Yan watched his daughter, Xiao Qingqing, demonstrate her newly learned dance. Although she danced very earnestly, no one put any pressure on her, making her look more like a waddling little duck.
Although Xiao Yan, as a father, could not control the smile on his face, he still gave Xiao Qingqing a positive compliment.
Under Little Fairy Doctor's deliberate control, Xiao Qingqing has not yet made any plans or taken any action to cultivate, and her physical strength is about the same as that of an ordinary little child. After making a fuss for so long, she finally fell into a deep sleep.
