In the Xiao family's main hall, Xiao Zhan and the three elders were stunned.
"Originally, I planned to leave only after gradually consolidating the Jiale and Oba families. But now that it's done, there's no need to stay.
I'll go to the Monster Mountains for a while and return before Canaan Academy enrollment.
Father and the elders needn't worry," Xiao Jian said, his expression relaxed.
"Will your teacher be going with you?" Xiao Zhan asked, frowning.
"Heh, it's just to deal with some Dou Masters and Dou Artisans. No need to trouble him. Xiao Yan needs his guidance more. I believe he'll become one of the continent's top alchemists," Xiao Jian said with a smile.
Hearing Xiao Jian's "exaggerated" praise, Xiao Zhan shook his head helplessly.
Ever since childhood, Xiao Jian always praised Xiao Yan as having Dou Emperor potential. Now he claimed Xiao Yan would be the top alchemist on the continent! This boy really knew how to brag.
"If Yan'er knew how high your expectations were, he'd probably train even while sleeping," Xiao Zhan sighed.
"Heh, I trust my own judgment, and I trust Yan'er's talent and perseverance. As his brother, I need to set an example, showing him the right path," Xiao Jian said confidently.
"Alright, be careful out there. With your intelligence, I'm not worried, but don't be overconfident. Too much confidence isn't a good thing," Xiao Zhan warned.
Outside the hall, Xiao Yan listened quietly, brows slightly furrowed, deep in thought.
"This Third Brother of yours… he really is amazing. I'm even a bit envious," Yao Lao's voice echoed in Xiao Yan's mind.
"Teacher, I want to cultivate faster. Is there a way?" Xiao Yan asked after a pause.
"There is, but it'll be a bit tough on you," Yao Lao replied with meaning.
"No problem. Whatever the method, as long as it doesn't affect my foundation, use it freely. I can handle it!" Xiao Yan said firmly in his heart.
Yao Lao smiled in approval. "Good. Ambitious!"
"Don't worry, Father. I won't be reckless. Going to the Monster Mountains might even help lay some foundations for the Xiao family's expansion.
But Wu Tan City still needs your and the elders' attention. Many of the city's Great Dou Masters have been eliminated, which naturally invites envy. Luckily, I have some connections with the Mittel family. The Mittel Auction House will assist the Xiao family. How to proceed is up to you and the elders!"
Xiao Jian nodded and reminded them once more.
Xiao Zhan and the elders also nodded, their expressions thoughtful. But they weren't worried.
After so many years, they had survived without much help.
Now, with the city and the Mittel family's support, the Xiao family's prospects could only improve.
At dawn, the sun rose in a blaze of red.
Xiao Jian stepped out of the Xiao family estate, clad in a crisp white combat outfit, a low-level spirit ring adorning his hand.
"Xiao Yu," he greeted softly, seeing her waiting at the entrance in a red dress, lightly made-up.
"Take care of yourself while you're outside," Xiao Yu said, her eyes glistening slightly as she straightened his attire, her voice trembling.
"Don't worry. I will," Xiao Jian replied, stepping closer to pull her into his embrace.
Xiao Yu's delicate frame shivered, then she returned the hug, burying her face in his shoulder.
"It's only a few months of training. I'll come back. Don't be so sad!" Xiao Jian patted her back gently, his voice soft and reassuring.
Heh, it's not really about her. A year from now, she won't be a match for me. But the family needs my strength to grow.
The stronger I become, the stronger the family becomes.
That much is true.....on the Dou Qi Continent, strength dictates authority, and respect comes only from power," Xiao Jian explained with a light smile.
