"What? You don't believe your old man?"
Xiao Lin teased his son with a faint, playful smile.
"It's not that, I... but... sigh, I don't even know how to put it into words."
"Rest easy. Just relax and leave everything to me."
Seeing that his son was starting to become incoherent, Xiao Lin stopped teasing him.
At this, Xiao Zhan opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't say anything more.
Fine, since Dad is here, I'll just lie flat and go along with it, Xiao Zhan thought to himself.
Shortly after, the Xiao Clan party arrived at the summit of the Yun Lan Mountain.
Countless pavilions and terraces were built upon this summit. At first glance, it made one feel as if they had stepped into a celestial palace. Furthermore, although the place was called Yun Lan Mountain, it could actually be described as a mountain range.
It was just that Xiao Lin and the Xiao Clan members were currently treading upon the main peak of the Yun Lan Mountain. Surrounding this main peak were various side peaks. Looking into the distance, those side peaks were similarly covered in clusters of buildings.
Of course, on some of the side peaks, there were simply caves carved out of the rock. The Yun Lan Sect was situated right in the middle of these surrounding mountains. Some of the side peaks were shrouded in lingering mist, with white cranes soaring through the clouds.
From Xiao Lin's perspective as a Transmigrator, comparing those so-called 5A-level scenic spots to the Yun Lan Mountain was like comparing a common sedan to a Ferrari—it was truly a dimensional strike!
This was without even accounting for the pavilions and terraces on the summit.
It had to be said, the location of the Yun Lan Sect was truly grand. However, for it to be chosen by Yun Potian back then to establish a sect, how could it be an ordinary place?
"So this is the summit of the Yun Lan Mountain. Father, this is my first time here," Xiao Zhan couldn't help but sigh.
As for the remaining Xiao Clan juniors, they were already lingering over the scenery of the summit, reluctant to leave.
"Truly worthy of the Yun Lan Sect!" Xiao Lin also praised.
In fact, this was also his first time ascending the Yun Lan Mountain.
Although he had plans to do so earlier, he never had the opportunity to implement them. Upon the arrival of Xiao Lin and his group, a Yun Lan Sect Elder immediately appeared to welcome them into the Main Hall.
Inside the Main Hall, many factions had already arrived.
"Old Xiao, over here!"
"Brother Xiao, it's been a long time. I hope you've been well!"
Seeing Xiao Lin's group being led in by the Yun Lan Sect Elder, Nalan Jie and Mu Chen, who had arrived earlier, immediately called out to him.
The address "Old Xiao" was something Nalan Jie only started using after Xiao Lin inherited the position of Clan Leader two years ago. In Nalan Jie's words: you're nearly forty now, so this title is perfectly appropriate.
To this, Xiao Lin gave Nalan Jie a roll of his eyes.
"Old Nalan, Brother Mu!"
Since Nalan Jie called him that, wouldn't Xiao Lin have to call him back the same way?
Because the status of the Xiao Clan, the Nalan Clan, and the Mu Clan in the Jia Ma Empire was currently quite similar, the three of them were arranged by the Yun Lan Sect Elder to sit right next to each other.
This also happened to allow Xiao Lin and the two of them to chat with one another.
The juniors of the three clans were also quite familiar with each other. While the three men were chatting, the youngsters were also talking and comparing themselves.
As for what they were comparing? Naturally, it was their cultivation bases.
After the three men chatted for a while, Xiao Lin saw that the timing was about right.
"Old Nalan, Brother Mu, please excuse me for a moment."
After cupping his hands toward the two, Xiao Lin saw a Yun Lan Sect Elder passing by and quickly called out to him.
"This Elder, I have a matter for which I wish to meet Sect Master Yun Shan. Could you perhaps announce me?"
Xiao Lin's request caused the Yun Lan Sect Elder to stop in his tracks.
When he realized the person speaking was Xiao Lin, his originally stiff face broke into a smile.
"Clan Leader Xiao, no need to be so polite. You can just call me Yun Leng."
"The Sect Master is currently busy with the Disciple Recruitment Ceremony and might not necessarily have time to see you, but I will announce it for you. As for whether the Sect Master will see you at this time, that's not for me to decide."
Yun Leng spoke to Xiao Lin in a friendly manner.
Hearing the other party introduce himself as Yun Leng, Xiao Lin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. So, this Yun Lan Sect Elder before him was the same Yun Leng from the original story who dared to take Xiao Yan's "Angry Buddha Lotus Flame" with his face?
This caused Xiao Lin to take a closer, careful look at him.
It had to be said, from the perspective of the original story, Yun Leng was a very status-oriented person. If you had status and strength, he would respect you. But if you had neither, then in his eyes, you were nothing!
This point had actually just been demonstrated.
When Xiao Lin first called him out to ask for a meeting with Yun Shan, his face was stiff. But once he realized it was Xiao Lin, his face changed instantly!
After all, the current Xiao Clan was indeed qualified to be treated well by the Yun Lan Sect. Furthermore, over the years, the Xiao Clan and the Yun Lan Sect had collaborated in many areas. Therefore, Yun Leng naturally had a good attitude toward Xiao Lin.
If it were someone else, Yun Leng might not have greeted them with a smile.
However, as the saying goes, one does not hit a smiling face.
No matter how annoying the Yun Leng from the original story was, right now there was no conflict between him and the Xiao Clan, and they were on the Yun Lan Sect's turf; Xiao Lin naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to provoke the man for no reason.
"Then I'll have to trouble Elder Yun Leng," Xiao Lin said with a smile.
Nodding his head, Yun Leng said nothing more and quickly departed. Xiao Lin didn't have to wait more than a few minutes before Yun Leng hurried back.
"Clan Leader Xiao, the Sect Master has agreed to see you. Please follow me."
"Then I'll trouble Elder Yun Leng."
Following behind Yun Leng and turning a few corners, Xiao Lin finally met the Sect Master of the Yun Lan Sect, Yun Shan, in a large hall.
"Sect Master, Clan Leader Xiao has been brought here."
"Mhm, you go attend to your business."
Yun Shan, who originally had his back to Xiao Lin, now turned around. Simultaneously, Yun Leng bowed to Yun Shan and retreated.
As an Elder of the Yun Lan Sect, he indeed had a pile of things to be busy with today.
"Xiao Lin, it's been a long time. Choosing to come see me specifically before the Disciple Recruitment Ceremony today... it couldn't just be to give me an answer regarding the Sect Grand Competition, could it?"
Seeing Yun Shan again, the man still put on no airs, merely asking with a smile.
Because of today's ceremony, Yun Shan's face was constantly filled with joy.
He was extremely satisfied with Yun Yun as a disciple!
Today's ceremony was not only to establish Yun Yun's identity as his disciple; similarly, he had already decided to directly appoint her as the Young Sect Master after the ceremony concluded!
After experiencing the internal chaos of the Yun Lan Sect back then, the candidate for Young Sect Master was generally designated directly by the Sect Master.
This was precisely to avoid repeating past mistakes!
