761. Unreasonable aspects
Venerable Feng was just about to show off in front of the newly returned Elder Yao when Mu Qingluan interrupted him, scolding him, "Qingluan, don't talk nonsense!"
Mu Qingluan wasn't afraid at all, and giggled, "Teacher, I'm not lying. It's true that our Starfall Pavilion has changed, but it was very different three years ago. Our fame started to rise after our senior brother won the Pill Gathering, and then we got this Starfall Array because of Grandpa Wei."
Mu Qingluan's words exposed Venerable Feng's boastful claims, and everyone present burst into laughter. Elder Yao was well aware of his old friend's abilities; Venerable Feng was indeed powerful, but he was not proficient in formations.
"You silly girl, with so many people around, you don't even know how to give your teacher some face." That's what he said, but there was no anger in Venerable Feng's tone.
Although everyone else was laughing so hard they were doubled over, Yao Lao still said seriously to Feng Xian, "Feng Xian, jokes aside, you've really had a tough time these past few years."
Upon hearing this, Venerable Feng's expression shifted slightly, and he snorted softly, "Heh, stop it, you rascal. If you really feel sorry for me, how about I give you back the position of Pavilion Master of Starfall Pavilion?"
Hearing this, Yao Chen chuckled and said, "You've done so well, it would be unfair for me to take it away from you."
As the two chatted warmly, the familiar feeling gradually returned. They were originally close friends, which was why they had founded the Starfall Pavilion together.
The Starfall Pavilion is now teeming with talent, with the entire Heavenly Phoenix Clan having joined in recent years. With Xiao Yan and his group now joining, the Starfall Pavilion's strength has reached an unprecedented peak.
There are beings at the Dou Sheng level, and there are even more experts at the Dou Zun level, numbering no less than a handful.
After everything was settled, the members of the Nine Netherworld Python clan first confirmed Qing Lin's return date, and then tore open the spatial rift again and left.
Now that Starfall Pavilion has been expanded once, the awkward situation of Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor having to "squeeze" into one room no longer exists. However, after all the miscellaneous matters are dealt with, the two still leave together in perfect unison, which has obviously become an instinct.
On the way out, a thoughtful look remained in Little Fairy Doctor's beautiful eyes. Xiao Yan asked, "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"
Little Fairy Doctor slightly raised her head, looked at Xiao Yan and replied, "I'm still reviewing the battle with the ancient clans. There's one detail I still haven't figured out; it's really quite strange."
"What?"
"It's far too easy for us to travel to the ancient tribes," Little Fairy Doctor said slowly.
Seeing that Xiao Yan had been enlightened, Little Fairy Doctor continued to explain, "At the time, I was so eager to save you that I sensed something was wrong, but I didn't pay attention to it."
"You mean the time we escaped from the ancient clans together unscathed?" Xiao Yan's brows furrowed.
"It's not just this, it's the whole process! Now that I think about it, the ancient clans are Dou Di families, they even have the ability to create a small space just for the entire clan. Their defenses are really quite weak, or rather, completely useless!"
"This is the route my elder brother researched. I entered the Ancient Clan from there with him from the beginning." What Xiao Yan didn't say was that Xun'er had also prepared proof for Xiao Ding to leave the Ancient Clan. After simply concealing their identities, the two entered the Ancient Clan normally. In Xiao Yan's plan, he originally intended for Little Fairy Doctor to lead the Xiao family members out in this way.
When he entered the ancient clan, he used this skill to arrive in time to save Xiao Zhan, so Xiao Yan naturally assumed that Little Fairy Doctor and the others had done the same.
Little Fairy Doctor shook her head seriously: "No, absolutely not!"
"I believed you when you first broke in, but you had already killed people in the ancient clan. Think about it, you killed an ancient demon, causing chaos and uproar throughout the entire ancient clan. Under such circumstances, any force should seal off the formation and conduct a thorough investigation."
"My initial plan was for Senior Mu to break through the defenses and go in directly, but when we arrived, the ancient clan's guards were all gone. This kind of low-level mistake is something that even a third-rate force in Zhongzhou would never make. You alone can't shake the ancient clan to the point that all the clansmen have to go to war."
"Hmm?" Xiao Yan had already sensed something was wrong when Little Fairy Doctor said this. It would be absolutely impossible to do something without protection in any force, let alone in an ancient clan.
"I thought someone had already broken through the defenses, but we were the first to arrive; no one got there before us."
"Could it be that the ancient clans deliberately let us in so they could wipe us out in one fell swoop?" Xiao Yan had a hypothesis at this moment.
"That's what I initially thought, but after reviewing it, I realized it's impossible." Little Fairy Doctor shook her head.
"Gu Yu's final attitude clearly shows that he only wanted to target you and never thought that we would bring so many reinforcements. Unless the Gu Clan had their eyes on us from the beginning, they would never have thought that we could have so many helpers. Judging from their final attitude, their target is you or the Xiao family, and they don't have any other important targets."
"Moreover, after things escalated, Gu Yu clearly didn't want to continue, which isn't the behavior expected of someone who had planned this all along. On the night of the Pill Tower, the Spirit Clan's actions were more like an attempt to wipe out the Pill Tower in one fell swoop."
"That would be strange."
Xiao Yan also fell silent. In that case, the situation of the ancient clan was indeed extremely strange. He and Little Fairy Doctor were currently limited by too little information to know the real situation.
"What about our teacher? Could he have noticed anything?" Xiao Yan suddenly thought of Yao Lao. After all, Yao Lao was able to fight against Gu Yu with just his soul power. His soul perception was definitely extraordinary. If he really knew something, Yao Lao was the most likely to know it.
"I asked the Medicine Master beforehand, and his answer was that he didn't feel anything."
The night was quiet, but Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor still couldn't get a reasonable answer.
Xiao Yan felt as if a fog was obscuring his vision. Although the ancient clan war had ended, there were still inside stories that even he was unaware of.
"Could it be her?" Xiao Yan couldn't help but wonder.
If it is Xun'er, how did she manage to do it, and why can't she show herself?
If it were someone else, why would they help me, and why wouldn't they show themselves after helping me?
