After returning, Gu Yunzhi handed the green scroll, which contained a 50,000 gold coin card, to Xiao Yan.
"Take this to Chief Xiao. I'm afraid he won't be willing to accept it if I give it to him," Gu Yunzhi said.
Xiao Yan took the green scroll and the card, paused for a moment, and then nodded.
He understood Gu Yunzhi's intention. She was worried that Chief Xiao might not want to accept her help directly for some reason, especially such a large sum of money. In this situation, it seemed more appropriate and in line with the Xiao family's dignity for him to act as an intermediary.
"Okay, I will pass it on to my father," Xiao Yan said, a hint of gratitude in his eyes.
After saying goodbye to Gu Yunzhi, Xiao Yan slipped into his room, quickly closed the door, and then walked briskly to the corner of the room. He took out a large pile of herbs and a few magic crystals from his arms, and carefully placed them in the cabinet.
He deeply sniffed the scent of the herbs in his hands, couldn't help but smirk, and finally felt the release of the pressure in his heart.
In order to fully devote himself to cultivation, Xiao Yan purchased a full eight months' worth of medicinal materials this time. He plans to spend the rest of the year on cultivation.
He happily patted the cabinet, with a slight smile on his lips, and then slowly walked to the bedside, falling down. Today's running around and auctioning really made him feel a bit tired.
" Yan, are you there?" Suddenly, a knock on the door woke him up from his daze.
Xiao Yan quickly jumped out of bed, opened the door, and saw Xiao Zhan standing outside. He smiled and asked, "Father, is there something you need?"
"Can't I come see you when I have nothing to do? You little guy, you've been hiding from me for two months already." Xiao Zhan rubbed Xiao Yan's head with a big hand and scolded with a smile.
Looking at Xiao Zhan's warm smile, Xiao Yan felt a hint of emotion in his heart, but he didn't know what to say.
"Still bothered by that matter? Haha, she doesn't appreciate my son, it's her loss. As a grown man, why care about these things. I know, my son Xiao Zhan is definitely not a waste!" Xiao Zhan said confidently.
"Hehe, father, in three years, I will personally go to the Yunlan Sect and reclaim justice for The Xiao Family," Xiao Yan said with a light laugh, his tone resolute.
Xiao Zhan's smile seemed to freeze, and he stared at Xiao Yan and hesitantly said, "Do you really have to go? Although I don't think you are not as good as Nalan Yanran, but the strength of the Misty Cloud Sect..."
Xiao Yan smiled slightly, nodded, and his lips tightened into a firm line, "Father, there are some things that cannot be avoided. As a man, one must have the courage to take responsibility."
"Haha, this temperament, it's really like looking in a mirror. If your two older brothers knew you thought this way, they would definitely be very happy."
Facing Xiao Yan's insistence, Xiao Zhan felt relieved and nodded heavily, "Alright, I'll wait for my son to shine. I will definitely make that old guy Nalan Su come with a betrothal gift one day, begging me to revoke the letter of resignation!"
Xiao Yan smiled and then Xiao Zhan took out a very familiar white jade bottle from his arms and handed it over.
Xiao Yan looked at this Foundation Essence that had changed hands several times and returned to his own hands, feeling both amused and exasperated.
But as a drama queen, he still perfectly maintained a look of doubt: "Father, what is this?"
"Foundation Essence, it can accelerate the cultivation speed of Qi of Fight, obtained at today's auction," explained Xiao Zhan with a smile.
"Surely it cost a lot of money, right?" Xiao Yan took the white jade bottle and felt a warm flow in his heart. He never expected that he would end up swindling his own father in an attempt to make money through alchemy.
"Forty thousand gold coins, but if it benefits you in any way, it's all worth it," Xiao Zhan laughed heartily.
"Father, you spent forty thousand gold coins to buy this Foundation Essence. I'm afraid the elders will make a fuss about it again," Xiao Yan said with a wry smile.
"Hmph, I am the head of the Xiao family, they are just talking." Xiao Zhan snorted coldly.
"Father, thank you. At the Rite of Passage next year, I will leave them speechless." Xiao Yan smiled slightly, full of confidence.
"Alright, I look forward to seeing my son demonstrate his amazing abilities once again!" Xiao Zhan said with a loud laugh, delighted to see his son brimming with confidence, though he didn't know where Xiao Yan got his confidence from.
"Alright, don't let me disturb your rest. If you need anything, you know where to find your father. We are family, so there's no need for formalities." Xiao Zhan waved his hand and was about to stride towards the front yard.
Xiao Yan suddenly remembered something and said, "Father, wait."
Xiao paused and then walked towards Xiao Yan again.
"Father, this is a gift from Miss Gu. She was worried that you would refuse, so she asked me to pass it on to you," Xiao Yan said, handing a green card with five stripes and a blue scroll to Xiao Zhan.
"What is this...? Could it be the Profound-level martial art - Whirlwind Decree?" Xiao Zhan could almost be certain that he had just competed with Gulliver and Obapa for this blue scroll at today's auction. He never expected it to fall so easily into his hands.
"Xiao Yan, how could you accept..." Just as Xiao Zhan was about to blame Xiao Yan,
Xiao Yan preemptively said, "Father, Miss Gu is an old friend of Yunlan Sect and the second daughter of the Dragon Tiger Mercenary Group. Her family is wealthy, so helping us is no big deal. If necessary, your son will find a way to repay her in the future. If that's not possible, your son will give himself to her."
Xiao Zhan was rendered speechless by Xiao Yan's words, and could only shake his head helplessly, saying, "Since you have accepted it, I can't bring myself to take it back..."
Xiao Zhan knew that his son was a sensible child. Faced with Xiao Yan's sincerity and Miss Gu's kindness, he could only accept it. He also understood that this kind of relationship might be a future guarantee for The Xiao Family and Xiao Yan.
Xiao Zhan carefully put away the blue scroll and the green card with five patterns, a satisfied smile on his face. "Xiao Yan, with a friend like you, Father is truly comforted. However, for such a grand gift, we, The Xiao Family, must repay it properly."
Xiao Yan smiled faintly, understanding his father's intentions and the significance of such a relationship to their family, The Xiao Family. "Father, rest assured, your son knows the proper measure. However, we must reciprocate Miss Gu's kindness, or else it will seem that we, The Xiao Family, only value profit."
Xiao Zhan nodded, he understood Xiao Yan's meaning and agreed with his opinion. Although The Xiao Family is not prominent now, they cannot lose their basic morality and position because of this.
He glared at Xiao Yan but his face was full of affection, "Silly child, it's good that you know."
Xiao Yan looked at his father's loving eyes, and felt a warm surge in his heart. He knew that his father had been working hard for the reconstruction of The Xiao Family, and also for his own ability to stand firm in this world.
This care and love made him feel the warmth of his family, and strengthened his determination to go to Yunlan Sect in three years to defeat Nalan Yanran and bring glory to The Xiao Family.
On the other hand, Xiao Yan's gratitude towards Miss Gu deepened even more. He knew that this kind of friendship could not be measured with money.
So Xiao Yan secretly made up his mind that no matter what difficulties and challenges he would face in the future, he would protect his family and friends, allowing them to be safe and sound in this world of martial arts.
