Chapter 126: Leaving the City of Wutan, a World of Possibilities!

The return of Xiao Ze and his group filled the entire Xiao family with enthusiasm. Xiao Yi Xian had arrived at the Xiao family three days earlier and had even solved a problem for them, intimidating the other two major families and leaving them clueless about what powerful allies the Xiao family had at that moment. The whole Xiao family was filled with joy. In the last two years, due to Xiao Ze, Xiao Zhan's influence within the family had increased considerably. Now, with the return of the three young masters, the Xiao family felt a renewed confidence.

At that moment, Xiao Zhan led the three Xiao brothers to his study, frowning at Xiao Ding and Xiao Li.

"You said you wanted to forge your own path. Why have you suddenly returned to the Xiao family?" Xiao Zhan asked.

"Father, you should ask Xiao Ze about this," said Xiao Ding, steering the conversation towards Xiao Ze.

"Ze'er? How could he influence your decisions?" Xiao Zhan seemed incredulous.

Xiao Li quickly interjected:

"Father, you must believe in us. Xiao Ze is no longer the same as before. In these two years, he has reached the peak of the Dou Wang level."

"What?!" Xiao Zhan suddenly stood up, ignoring the noise of his chair falling to the ground, and stared intently at Xiao Ze.

"Father, indeed I have reached the peak of Dou Wang," said Xiao Ze, displaying his Dou Qi energy wings.

"I have brought back my brothers because there is a matter that affects our family's survival..."

Xiao Ze repeated what he had said to Xiao Li and Xiao Ding in the Yellow Stone City. Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan's expression changed drastically. With a grave expression, he took out an ancient jade from his chest.

"Ze'er, do you mean this ancient jade that has been passed down by our family?"

"I'm not sure, but if there's nothing else in the family that has been passed down for generations, it's likely this," said Xiao Ze, using his spiritual power to examine the jade, although he couldn't identify anything unusual.

"...But the elders of the family won't be easy to convince," Xiao Zhan hesitated for a moment, but then decided, although he knew the elders could be an obstacle to the family's migration.

"Hehe, leave that to me. It's just a matter of offering them enough benefits and, if necessary, a little pressure," said Xiao Ze confidently, which made Xiao Zhan look at him with new eyes, smiling with relief as he patted him on the shoulder.

"Ze'er, you have really grown. I trust you to lead the family."

"There's no rush in this matter. After relocating the Xiao family to the Canaan City, I won't stay in the family. I prefer to continue growing outside of it," explained Xiao Ze.

Xiao Zhan nodded slowly, understanding that his son needed space to grow.

"That's why I brought back my older brothers."

"And what about your third brother? Some time ago, he said he had joined a mysterious master who would take him for training," Xiao Zhan asked, concerned.

"That's not a problem. We'll leave the necessary information, and besides, that mysterious master probably isn't someone common," assured Xiao Ze, reassuring his father.

Xiao Zhan nodded, acknowledging that Xiao Yan's master seemed to be extraordinary, and he was also a mysterious alchemist.

After a brief explanation, Xiao Ze headed to the back mountain with Qing Lin, while Xiao Yi Xian stayed there to train.

"Xiao Ze, this girl..."

Xiao Yi Xian looked at the shy Qing Lin behind Xiao Ze and remembered how she herself was when she arrived at the Xiao family, in a similar situation.

"She's a servant I found in the Yellow Stone City. I saw she has a special talent, and I plan to train her," explained Xiao Ze.

Xiao Yi Xian nodded, still doubtful, but she observed Qing Lin closely.

"Does this girl have a special constitution like my poisonous body?"

"By the way, Xiao Yi Xian, I need to ask you a favor. I'll stay in the Jia Ma Empire for a while, could you accompany the Xiao family to the Black Corner Region?" Xiao Ze asked.

"Sure, you don't need to be so formal with me," Xiao Yi Xian responded, smiling.

"And this girl...?"

Qing Lin, seeing Xiao Yi Xian looking at her, became nervous again.

"Let her stay with you for basic training. Then, when I return to the Canaan Academy, I'll take care of developing her," said Xiao Ze quietly so that only Xiao Yi Xian could hear.

"This girl is a mix of human and serpent. Her growth environment was not friendly, so she's sensitive and insecure. I trust you can take good care of her."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian's expression softened.

"Your name is Qing Lin, right? Your brother Xiao Ze has things to do, so stay with me for now, okay?"

Qing Lin looked at Xiao Ze, who nodded slightly, and then responded timidly:

"Yes..."

Xiao Yi Xian took Qing Lin to the hot springs in the back mountain. Xiao Ze decided not to accompany them and stayed training on the back platform, preparing for the next day.

The next day, the family leader summoned the family's high-ranking members. In the spacious meeting hall, there were only a few people, and three of them were from Xiao Zhan's direct line, demonstrating his control over the family. When Xiao Ze arrived, the elders had already heard Xiao Zhan's proposal and were silent.

"Elders, do you have objections to the leader's decision?" Xiao Ze asked directly, looking at the Grand Elder, who immediately stood up, ready to confront him.

"Our family has struggled to establish ourselves in the City of Wutan, and now we are going to move because of an unknown enemy?"

"Migration is both because of the enemy and to get out of this small pond and develop in a bigger ocean," Xiao Ze replied immediately.

"But the ocean, vast as it may be, hides greater dangers. Do we have the necessary strength to face it?" the Grand Elder's words resonated among the other elders.

"Is Dou Wang level peak enough?" Xiao Ze asked with a smile, unfolding his Dou Qi wings, surprising everyone in the hall.

"And I'm not just talking for the sake of talking," he continued, displaying the numerous items he had collected, filling the table in the meeting hall.

"These things are just a small part of what we have and are enough for the family to develop in a new place."

Seeing Xiao Ze's Dou Qi wings and the rare items, the family leaders were convinced. With strength and resources, the Xiao family could start anew and thrive in an unknown place. Leaving the City of Wutan would open up a world of possibilities.
