"I thank everyone from the Xiao Clan for your support. I, Xiao Lin, will certainly not fail this mission!"
After the members of the Xiao Clan finished their salutes toward Xiao Lin, he naturally returned the gesture.
In a formal setting like this, many steps were mandatory.
At the same time, this moment officially declared that Xiao Dongcheng had stepped down from the position of Xiao Clan Leader, and Xiao Lin had become the new generation Clan Leader of the Xiao Clan!
Until this very moment, some factions that had not received an invitation from the Xiao Clan and had instead chosen to come and join the heat of the excitement finally realized that the heavens of the Xiao Clan had changed!
However, many people had long anticipated this. After all, the strongest person in the Xiao Clan had already been Xiao Lin since over a decade ago. In fact, after Xiao Lin had outwardly revealed his cultivation at the Dou Wang level.
Many factions that were not very familiar with the Xiao Clan had already regarded him as the Clan Leader, unaware that the true leader was actually Xiao Dongcheng.
It could be said that Xiao Lin becoming the Clan Leader had always been missing nothing but a ceremony.
Today could be considered the day this succession ceremony was finally fulfilled. Presumably, once the news of today's events spread, basically everyone within the Jia Ma Empire would know that the leading figure of the Xiao Clan was named Xiao Lin!
At this point, after the Xiao Clan's Coming of Age ceremony concluded, the Clan Leader succession ceremony also came to an end. As the ceremony finished, one person after another came forward to express their congratulations to Xiao Lin once more.
Furthermore, for a grand gathering like this, any major faction that cared for their reputation would basically never arrive empty-handed.
On this day, just by receiving the congratulatory gifts sent by the various factions, the Xiao Clan's harvest was already overflowing.
Among them, the Nalan Clan and the Mu Clan both presented a precious Tier 6 medicinal herb.
The Mittel Clan and the Imperial Family respectively presented the Xiao Clan with a High-Level Xuan Grade Dou Technique and a Mid-Level Xuan Grade Cultivation Technique, plus several Tier 5 medicinal pills.
Although the Xiao Clan did not lack Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques anymore, since they had sent them, the Xiao Clan members would have one more choice when selecting their cultivation paths in the future, wouldn't they?
Additionally, that Elder from the Alchemist Association, besides giving three Tier 5 medicinal pills, also offered a promise: in the future, the Xiao Clan could seek the Alchemist Association to refine three more pills of Tier 5 or below.
It could be said that this was equivalent to giving the Xiao Clan a huge favor.
Finally, there was the Sect Master of the Yun Lan Sect, Yun Shan. He directly gave away three Tier 5 medicinal pills and even promised the Xiao Clan that they could send three clan members to the Yun Lan Sect every year to learn skills.
For the Xiao Clan, this was equally good news!
One must know that although Xiao Lin was strong enough, in reality, his ability to teach people was truly not that great. When it came to teaching, clan forces were generally a bit inferior to sects or academies.
Now with Yun Shan's promise, the future descendants of the Xiao Clan would have one more path to choose from. In short, the Xiao Clan's current status in the Jia Ma Empire was basically on friendly terms with every faction at the Dou Wang level or above.
As long as Xiao Lin did not fall prematurely, this friendship should have no problem lasting for at least several decades.
After the succession ceremony ended, the attendants of the Xiao Clan began to serve fine food and drinks to entertain the guests who had come to witness the ceremony today.
In the end, this grand feast could be considered a joy for both the host and the guests.
As the new Clan Leader of the Xiao Clan, this time, it was Xiao Lin who stood at the main entrance of the Xiao Clan to personally see off each of the guests.
"Xiao Lin ah, you and I have both become Clan Leaders now. It seems there really won't be a chance to go to the brothels to listen to music together in the future, sigh!"
Before leaving the Xiao Clan, Nalan Jie teased him again, though it was unclear if it was intentional.
"Get lost, if you sing, then I'll listen!"
Xiao Lin also gave a reply with a playful scolding.
"Hahaha!"
Finally, Nalan Jie left with a laugh.
With his best friend becoming the Clan Leader, he was naturally happy for the other party. At the same time, this represented that the relationship between their two clans could develop even further!
However, today was not the time to discuss those matters.
"Brother Xiao, when you are free in the future, we can visit each other more often."
Mu Chen also came to bid farewell at this time.
"Certainly, certainly!"
Xiao Lin also nodded solemnly with a cupped-hand salute.
Xiao Lin was never the type of person who would look down on those around him whose strength was inferior just because his own strength had increased. Therefore, whether it was Nalan Jie or Mu Chen, Xiao Lin still maintained a very good relationship with both.
Subsequently, the Dou Wang from the Jia Ma Imperial Family, Mittel Tengshan, and that Elder from the Alchemist Association also left the Xiao Clan one after another.
As for the remaining Dou Ling level factions, some had already left, while others were still eating and drinking within the Xiao Mansion. To this, the Xiao Clan ensured that the supply of food and meat was absolutely sufficient.
For this day, the Xiao Clan had bought up all the vegetables, meat, and wine from the nearby streets, ensuring that no guest today could find any fault. Just as Yun Shan was prepared to take little Yun Yun and leave the Xiao Clan, Xiao Lin suddenly stopped them.
"Sect Master Yun Shan, do you have time to continue sitting in my Xiao Clan for a while?"
Before Yun Shan could say his words of farewell, Xiao Lin asked timely.
Hearing Xiao Lin say this, Yun Shan was stunned for a moment.
However, seeing Xiao Lin's expression, he guessed that Xiao Lin might have something he needed to find him for. To this, Yun Shan did not think much and directly nodded in agreement. Anyway, his departure from the Yun Lan Mountain this time was originally to relax.
Therefore, staying at the Xiao Clan for a bit longer had no impact on him.
"Of course I can, it just so happens that after being full of wine and food, I also want to rest for a while, Yun'er, what do you say?"
Saying this, Yun Shan glanced at the little Yun Yun beside him.
"I will listen to everything Teacher says."
Yun Yun was entirely obedient toward Yun Shan.
"Then I must ask Sect Master Yun Shan and Miss Yun Yun to wait for a moment. Once I finish hosting the others, I will come immediately. Zhan'er, take Sect Master Yun Shan and Miss Yun Yun to the small courtyard where I stay to rest for a while on my behalf."
The first half of Xiao Lin's sentence was addressed to the master and disciple pair of Yun Shan and Yun Yun, while the second half was instructing his own son, Xiao Zhan.
"Yes, Father. Sect Master Yun Shan, and Miss Yun Yun, please follow me."
After nodding in response, Xiao Zhan led Yun Shan and little Yun Yun toward the small courtyard where Xiao Lin lived. As for Xiao Lin, he continued to see off the various factions at the main gate of the Xiao Clan.
The reason why Xiao Lin chose to stop the master and disciple pair was actually very simple.
A few months ago, did he not take a trip to the Sky Serpent Empire and obtain several Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques from the depths of the Sky Serpent Empire's imperial palace that were suspected to be related to the Yun Lan Sect?
Then, ever since he returned to the Xiao Clan, he hadn't had the chance to visit the Yun Lan Sect.
It just so happened that Yun Shan had taken the initiative to come to the Xiao Clan today. Therefore, for Xiao Lin, there was no better day than today; it was the perfect time to ask Yun Shan about this matter.
