755. Thanks to everyone
Xiao Yan and his group did not traverse the spatial passage for too long, as their final destinations were different. Of course, the entire Xiao family was immersed in the excitement of surviving a calamity.
"Senior Jiang, thank you so much for today!" After settling down, Xiao Yan was the first to thank Jiang Yunyan.
Although Yao Lao's strength was comparable to Gu Yu's, without Jiang Yunyan's arrival and the Lei Clan's backing, the conflict might not have ended so smoothly. Moreover, Jiang Yunyan personally fought Gu Yu and was injured in the process.
Jiang Yunyan simply nodded slightly and said calmly, "This is all Jingxiao's idea. He knew you were going to fight the ancient clans and originally wanted to come, but his cultivation has reached a critical moment, so I didn't let him leave and came in his place."
Upon hearing this explanation, a warm smile unconsciously appeared on Xiao Yan's face. After all, he and Jiang Yunyan didn't really have much of a relationship, and even if they did, it was absolutely not worth her coming all the way here to fight against a behemoth like the Ancient Clan for his sake. The reason she was here was entirely because of Lei Jingxiao, the loud but extremely sentimental brother Xiao Yan had taken in.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Yunyan flipped her hand, and a delicate jade slip, its surface adorned with tiny silver arcs of electricity, appeared before Xiao Yan. Even from a distance, Xiao Yan could sense the immense and pure lightning power contained within the jade slip, which seemed to form its own small lightning domain, definitely not an ordinary spatial jade slip.
Jiang Yunyan's fingertips gently traced the jade slip, and her voice held a rare hint of longing: "This spatial jade slip is one of the most important relics left to Jingxiao by his mother. He didn't hesitate for a moment to save you, and asked me to bring it to you so that you can use it."
Jiang Yunyan spoke these words calmly, but Lei Jingxiao's protectiveness towards Xiao Yan was clearly evident in them. If he didn't truly care, how could he have made such a great sacrifice for Xiao Yan?
"I'm not saying this for any other reason than that Jingxiao is sincere towards you, and he's a simple and honest guy. I hope you won't let him down in the future." Jiang Yunyan's words were not very polite, but they had a hint of a reminder in them. Finally, she glanced at Xiao Yixian without leaving a trace.
Unexpectedly, Little Fairy Doctor took the initiative to answer for Xiao Yan: "Senior Jiang, rest assured, if one day it really happens, whether for Xiao Lei or for Xiao Yan, I will definitely stand in front of him."
"May Heaven and Earth punish anyone who goes against this vow!"
Jiang Yunyan looked at Little Fairy Doctor, her heart filled with complex emotions. Lei Jingxiao cultivated under her protection. The only two times he had gone out were to celebrate Xiao Yan's child's birthday. But this time, when Xiao Yan encountered danger, Lei Jingxiao immediately learned of it, which could only have been revealed to him by Little Fairy Doctor. That was why Jiang Yunyan had specially come to help Xiao Yan out of his predicament.
Of course, Jiang Yunyan also approved of Xiao Yan and was happy for Lei Jingxiao to associate with him. However, she still disliked the fact that Little Fairy Doctor had schemed against Lei Jingxiao, which was why she had to remind her. The sincerity in Little Fairy Doctor's answer was genuine, and seeing Little Fairy Doctor's performance, Jiang Yunyan, being a woman herself, naturally appreciated her, and her eyes eventually softened.
"That's good." Jiang Yunyan smiled, then opened a spatial rift and said to Xiao Yan as she left, "Jingxiao will definitely come out of seclusion to see you after his breakthrough this time. He will also come to the Heavenly Tomb Gathering. He is especially happy to know that you are still alive."
After saying that, Jiang Yunyan left directly through the spatial passage.
After seeing Jiang Yunyan off, Xiao Yan looked at Yao Ming, the patriarch of the Nine Netherworld Python clan. Xiao Yan clasped his hands in thanks again, just as he was about to express his gratitude. Yao Ming then said directly, "Young Master Xiao Yan, there's no need to be so polite. We were all here on the Queen's orders, and we really weren't of much help."
Hearing this, the faces of the few Dou Sheng experts from the Nine Netherworld Python were slightly embarrassed. Yao Ming was also a little embarrassed. Although the Nine Netherworld Python had sent out its elite forces this time, he really did not expect the Ancient Clan to care so much about Xiao Yan, and to directly send one of the Three Immortals of the Ancient Clan to take action. In the end, they were almost just spectators the whole time.
Of course, they also had to admire the Queen's vision. It was a very irrational thing for the Queen to forcibly mobilize all the elites of the clan to fight against the ancient clan. Yao Ming had repeatedly persuaded them, but it was only because Qing Lin was too important to the Nine Netherworld Python clan that they came here.
However, judging from today's perspective, the power behind Xiao Yan is so great that even the Nine Netherworld Python Clan looks up to him. Establishing a relationship with such a talented young man might not be a bad thing, even if the ultimate price is offending the ancient clans.
"Clan Chief Yaoming, rest assured, without the intervention of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, the situation today would have been far more unpredictable. Xiao Yan will forever remember this kindness!"
After exchanging a few more words with Yao Ming, Xiao Yan turned his gaze to Qing Lin, whom the Nine Netherworld Python clan held in utmost respect.
In fact, Qing Lin's clear, emerald-green eyes were focused on Xiao Yan most of the time today, and she was constantly concerned about Xiao Yan's condition.
Seeing Qing Lin, Xiao Yan felt a surge of warmth in his heart. The timid maidservant from the mercenary group of yesteryear was now Her Majesty the Queen, ruling the Nine Netherworld Python clan. Yet, Qing Lin's pure feelings for him seemed to have never changed, no matter the circumstances.
"Qinglin, I really owe you a lot today," Xiao Yan said with a smile.
Upon hearing this simple sentence, and especially seeing Xiao Yan's gentle smile, Qing Lin's fair cheeks instantly flushed with two captivating blushes. Her queenly aura vanished without a trace, replaced by the shy demeanor of a young girl.
This stark contrast between the two women left Yao Ming and the elders of the Nine Netherworld Pythons exchanging bewildered glances, utterly shocked and almost doubting their own eyes. Normally, their newly crowned Queen was a ruthless and decisive ruler, absolutely cold-blooded towards her subordinates!
"Young Master, this is what Qinglin should do." Qinglin looked at Xiao Yan and expressed her feelings once again. If Yao Lao hadn't appeared, she really would have left with Xiao Yan.
"You've already surpassed the Dou Sheng realm, haven't you?" Xiao Yan confirmed one last time. In fact, when he "died," Qing Lin already possessed the strength to fight against a Dou Sheng. Now, her aura is refined, and her true strength is unfathomable, truly placing her among the ranks of the Dou Qi Continent's powerful figures.
