758. Thank you everyone.
Just as Yao Qingyu was about to share her joy at seeing Xiao Yan again with her mother, she saw that her mother, after emerging from the spatial passage, remained motionless in the same position. Her gaze passed over Xiao Yan and was fixed on a figure not far from him.
At first, there were too many people here, and Yao Qingyu subconsciously assumed that the person was just one of the reinforcements that Little Fairy Doctor had brought for Xiao Yan. But upon closer inspection, Yao Qingyu felt a strange yet familiar feeling—a very peculiar sensation.
"Yao Chen, you bastard, you finally decided to come back..." After half a day, Xuan Yi's trembling voice was filled with deep longing and grievance.
At this moment, Xuan Yi no longer resembled a giant who controlled the Pill Tower, nor a renowned eighth-grade alchemy master. She was now just a helpless woman.
Seeing the atmosphere, Xiao Yan knew that this matter was too difficult for Yao Lao to understand at the moment. He took the initiative to explain to Yao Lao, "Teacher, this is Junior Sister Qingyu, her full name is Yao Qingyu."
Then Xiao Yan turned to Yao Qingyu, who was still standing there in a daze, and slowly explained, "Junior Sister, this is my teacher, who is also your...father."
Although Yao Qingyu had a vague feeling in her heart, upon hearing Xiao Yan's very clear explanation, she felt as if her blood had instantly frozen, and her light ink-colored eyes could no longer be taken away from Yao Lao.
She already knew from Xiao Yan that Yao Lao was not actually dead, and that Xiao Yan was trying his best to bring him back. She had imagined countless times what it would be like to meet her father, but she never expected it to be so sudden, so sudden that her mind went blank and she didn't know what to do.
The old man's emotions were no less turbulent than theirs. When he heard "Yao Qingyu" and "Father," his soul, which had remained stable even when facing Gu Yu, began to fluctuate.
"Xuan Yi...is what Xiao Yan said...true?"
"Qingyu...is she my daughter?"
Tears had long since blurred Xuan Yi's vision. Centuries of pent-up resentment, waiting, and anticipation overwhelmed her at this moment. The pent-up emotions exploded, and Xuan Yi's voice instantly lost control: "Of course it's true!"
"How could I possibly fall in love with anyone else in this life but you!" Xuan Yi could no longer hold back and rushed into the illusory embrace of the old man. Although the old man was now just a soul, he still used his soul power to support Xuan Yi steadily.
"Then why didn't you tell me? And when?" Yao Lao thought carefully. If he had known all this, how could he not have given Xiao Yan extra instructions?
"When I found Qingyu, you had already disappeared without a trace. I searched for you desperately but found nothing. How can I tell you!" Xuanyi's words were broken and intermittent, completely out of control of the Pill Tower giant.
Yao Qingyu was overwhelmed with emotion upon receiving this news; the dramatic change almost left her breathless. Fortunately, Wei Jiangyuan was always by her side, supporting her and whispering something to her.
Seeing this scene of reunion, Xiao Yan felt overjoyed for his teacher and mistress, but he also quietly led the others away, wanting to give the family of three some time to be together. After all, Yao Lao had never known he had this daughter, and his teacher's wife, Xuan Yi, had raised Yao Qingyu alone. Yao Qingyu, on the other hand, had never grown up with her parents. Each of them had their own emotions and needed time to process them.
Moreover, with Wei Jiangyuan here, Xiao Yan knew that he was definitely more suitable than himself to handle these matters.
The others were equally shocked, but they also tacitly made way for the family so as not to disturb them.
When Xiao Yan looked at Mu Yaoyin, although Mu Yaoyin was blind, her keen soul perception told her everything, and she obviously knew what Xiao Yan was going to say.
"Master, the Tianluan Clan obeys your every command. You don't need to stand on ceremony with this old servant," Mu Yaoyin replied directly.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He didn't have many words of gratitude, as words were insufficient to express the debt of saving his life; only his actions could provide a direct response to the Tianluan Clan. Now, he knew that as he grew stronger, he must provide the Tianluan Clan with sufficient support and fulfill his responsibility as their master.
Xiao Yan then looked at Elder Lin of the Pill Tower. Although Elder Lin had not actually arrived at the Ancient Clan, his willingness to come at this crucial moment and show his support for Xiao Yan spoke volumes about his feelings.
Xiao Yan clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, adopting the posture of a junior: "Elder Lin, thank you very much for the help from the Pill Tower today."
"Young Master Xiao Yan, you flatter me. If it weren't for your strong support three years ago, the Pill Tower would probably have been swallowed up by the Spirit Clan long ago. I've long wanted to chat with a genius like you, but what happened back then was the biggest joy. Seeing that Young Master Xiao Yan is alright is naturally the greatest happiness. The Pill Tower owes Young Master Xiao Yan a favor that can never be repaid, so it was necessary to help now. However, the Ancestor was seriously injured that night, so I rushed here first."
Although Xiao Yan was a junior, Elder Lin of the Pill Tower treated him with extreme kindness. There was no way around it; Xiao Yan's contributions to the Pill Tower were simply too significant. What he said was not an exaggeration at all.
"If Young Master Xiao Yan ever needs anything in the future, the Pill Tower will absolutely not stand idly by!" Elder Lin is the second most important person in the Pill Tower after the patriarch. To receive such a promise from him is equivalent to a promise from the Pill Tower itself, which is extremely precious!
After expressing his gratitude, Xiao Yan took a deep breath and looked at Little Fairy Doctor, who had been waiting for him not far away.
The fairy doctor's dress swayed gently in the wind. She hadn't said much during this time, but her clear, autumn-water-like eyes were always following Xiao Yan's figure.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan felt a warm sense of happiness. Apart from Yao Lao, all the other reinforcements today could be from Little Fairy Doctor, but the relationship between the two was so special that Xiao Yan was momentarily speechless.
Seeing Xiao Yan's gaze, Little Fairy Doctor tilted her head slightly and smiled, "Young Master, are you done with your work?"
Looking at Little Fairy Doctor's expression, Xiao Yan said with some anticipation, "When you're done with your work, come with me to see two people."
His gaze then swept over to the location of the Xiao family members, where Xiao Ding and Xiao Zhan were still comforting the clansmen who had just left the ancient clan.
