"Go see your father and eldest brother."
Following Xiao Yan's gaze, Little Fairy Doctor immediately understood his meaning. Even though she was already a Dou Zun powerhouse and in charge of the renowned Medicine and Poison Valley in Zhongzhou, she was still filled with unease.
That unease far surpassed that of facing numerous ancient clan warriors among the ancient clans.
The Little Fairy Doctor raised her delicate hand, gently tidying her hair and glancing around at her attire, as if afraid of doing anything inappropriate. A slight blush crept onto her usually composed face.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yan noticed the change in Little Fairy Doctor's heart.
Little Fairy Doctor let out a soft breath, trying to calm herself down, and smiled slightly, "I was just wondering if today's meeting was a bit too rushed?"
Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Then it's fine to talk about it when we get back."
Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor shook her head: "That would be rather impolite. Let's go!"
When the two arrived at the Xiao family's camp, the Xiao family members already knew that Xiao Yan had directly confronted the Ancient Clan and killed an important figure from the Ancient Clan. Now that Xiao Yan had rescued them from the Ancient Clan, the clan members no longer looked at him with any strangeness. Instead, they would focus their curious gazes on Little Fairy Doctor.
Little Fairy Doctor maintained a gentle and graceful smile as she followed Xiao Yan with poise and ease.
At this moment, Xiao Zhan, the First Elder, and Xiao Ding were together calming down the clansmen. They knew that Xiao Yan had already built up a force that could be relied upon in Zhongzhou, so they reassured the clansmen that there was no need to worry.
Seeing Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor arrive together, she naturally guessed what was going on, and her joy was evident.
After Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor arrived, they immediately introduced them to their father: "Father, elder brother, this is Little Fairy Doctor."
Seeing the dignified Little Fairy Doctor, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but smile kindly. How could he not know what was going on after Xiao Yan said that to him? Actually, when Xiao Yan told him that he had become a grandfather, Xiao Zhan was already extremely excited. However, at that time, Xiao Yan rushed straight to the Ancient Clan, and his worries for Xiao Yan overshadowed everything else. Now that they had met, they could finally have a proper chat about family matters.
Standing beside his father, Xiao Ding wore his usual composed yet warm smile. As the eldest brother, he had weathered many storms, and seeing his younger brother finally find a woman he could entrust his life to, his joy was pure and genuine. He looked Xiao Yixian up and down, his gaze devoid of judgment, only sincere admiration. Xiao Ding smiled and said, "Little Yanzi, this must be the sister-in-law we've been longing for. It seems you're truly lucky!"
Before Xiao Yan could continue his introduction, Little Fairy Doctor took the initiative and said in a very friendly manner, "Father, elder brother, I am Little Fairy Doctor."
Xiao Yan was surprised by how quickly Little Fairy Doctor changed her tune. She spoke so naturally, as if she had prepared it for a long time. Little Fairy Doctor's behavior at this moment was just like the female doctor in Green Mountain Town in Xiao Yan's memory—innocent and natural, and would never arouse any dissatisfaction.
"Good! Good child!" Xiao Zhan was already quite satisfied with the graceful and ethereal Little Fairy Doctor in front of him, and that "Father" touched his heart even more. The low spirits of the past few days were dispelled by this address, and his smile became even brighter.
"We're all family, no need to be so serious."
Xiao Ding smiled and asked, "Are you officially married?"
Xiao Yan shook his head and explained, "This is my fault. Originally, we were supposed to get married at the Ancient Clan after the Pill Gathering, with my father as our witness. But things didn't go as planned. After that incident, I fell into a deep sleep for three years and haven't had a chance to get married yet."
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's preparations for their marriage, Xiao Yi Xian's last bit of nervousness vanished, leaving only a feeling of sweetness.
Looking at the young couple, Xiao Zhan felt increasingly pleased: "It's alright, what's past is past. Since you two are determined, that's for the best. Once things settle down, I'll make sure this young man marries you into my Xiao family in a grand and glorious ceremony!"
Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor suddenly felt that the sense of helplessness that had lingered deep in her heart for many years had completely disappeared, and that the feeling of family was something that no force could replace.
"Thank you, Father."
Both Xiao Zhan and Xiao Ding were clearly extremely satisfied with Little Fairy Doctor. Her appearance was, needless to say, virtually flawless. More importantly, she clearly cared deeply for Xiao Yan, going to great lengths to help him resolve the crisis facing the ancient clan. The affection in their eyes during their interactions further assured everyone that their relationship was genuine.
Xiao Yan felt an unprecedented sense of peace. For so many years, he had lived a life of constant danger, but now, with his family back and his beloved by his side, it was exactly what he had been searching for all these years. This was his most important support and haven, and Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
"If only my second brother were here too..."
On the other side, the four members of the Yao family had also calmed down. Xuan Yi had deep feelings for Yao Lao and had raised her daughter alone. At first, she was indeed unable to control her emotions when she saw Yao Lao, but in the end, she was only filled with anticipation and joy.
However, this was not a place where they could stay for long, so after getting ready, they decided to leave first.
After confirming that Xiao Yan would no longer fight the ancient clans, Elder Lin of the Pill Tower returned to the Pill Tower ahead of time. Clearly, the Pill Tower's situation had been affected by the battle with the Spirit Clan years ago.
Since even the old patriarch of the Pill Tower can no longer directly intervene, Elder Lin, as the number two figure, will obviously have increasingly greater authority and responsibility within the Pill Tower.
However, Elder Lin, despite his humble origins, still kindly allowed her to stay. After all, the higher-ups of the Pill Tower knew the astonishing sacrifices Xuan Yi had made for his daughter. Now that Yao Chen had returned to the Central Continent, it was the right thing to do for Xuan Yi to rest for a while.
Yao Qingyu naturally followed her mother. In fact, after she and Xuan Yi recognized each other, she rarely returned to the Flower Sect. Wei Jiangyuan, on the other hand, was completely free. In his own words, he would go wherever Yao Qingyu was, and he happily joined the group.
Because of Elder Yao, the group ultimately decided to return to the Starfall Pavilion, where Venerable Feng and some members of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan were. Little Fairy Doctor's forces, the Poison Valley and the Starfall Pavilion, were on par, but Little Fairy Doctor indicated she didn't care much about any particular power, clearly having made arrangements beforehand.
However, after Xiao Zhan learned that Little Fairy Doctor also controlled a separate force, he became even more satisfied with his daughter-in-law, whom he was meeting for the first time.
