When Yun Shan accepted Xiao Zhan as his disciple, Yun Yun, who was standing in the center of the hall, had her small mouth stretched into an "O" shape. It was clear that she was so shocked by her teacher's decision that she couldn't be more surprised.
After all, before this, there had been no sign at all!
However, after the shock passed, a hint of joy actually grew within Yun Yun's heart.
"Does this mean... I have a junior brother now?"
Blinking her small eyes, Yun Yun couldn't help but whisper to herself.
How should she put it? This feeling was quite wonderful!
Although her teacher had just announced that she was the first disciple of the Yun Lan Sect's ninth generation.
All the other disciples would have to call her Senior Sister when they saw her. However, having the rest of the ninth-generation disciples call her Senior Sister felt completely different from truly having a junior brother of her own!
It was no wonder that Yun Yun suddenly became a little excited.
At this time, Yun Shan had also brought Xiao Zhan to the center of the hall. The protagonists of this Disciple Recruitment Ceremony were Yun Shan, Yun Yun, and Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Lin had no intention of stealing the spotlight.
"In this way, the Yun Lan Sect can be considered tied to my Xiao Clan! In the future, even if I temporarily leave the Xiao Clan, the Yun Lan Sect will protect them, so no accidents should occur."
Looking at Xiao Zhan, who had followed Yun Shan to the center of the hall and was currently receiving the greetings of the Yun Lan Sect disciples, Xiao Lin couldn't help but think to himself.
Although Xiao Lin's strength had now broken through to Dou Zun and his soul had reached the mid-stage Heaven Realm, he still had many worries.
First and foremost was the Xiao Clan.
As a member of the Xiao Clan, and the Clan Leader at that, it was impossible for him to just leave the Xiao Clan to fend for itself. But he also had his own things to do. Therefore, binding the Xiao Clan to the Yun Lan Sect now was the best possible choice.
In the previous transaction, Xiao Lin had not only returned the lost Earth Grade Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques of the Yun Lan Sect, but he had also personally demonstrated a portion of his strength to Yun Shan.
This was done to strengthen the alliance between the two.
After all, only with sufficient strength can one be taken seriously by others, right? At the very least, in Yun Shan's current view, the Yun Lan Sect was not losing out by being tied together with the Xiao Clan.
In addition, Xiao Lin had also obtained a promise from Yun Shan.
That was: as long as the Yun Lan Sect exists, the Xiao Clan exists!
It was precisely because of this promise that Xiao Lin would have no more worries when he went to the Central Plains in the future. After withdrawing his thoughts, Xiao Lin suddenly felt two gazes simultaneously focusing on his body.
"Old Xiao, that's not very fair of you. You didn't even tell me in advance about Sect Master Yun Shan wanting to accept Xiao Zhan as a disciple!"
Nalan Jie complained with a hint of jealousy.
"Brother Xiao, exactly what method did you use to get Sect Master Yun Shan to accept your son as a disciple?"
Mu Chen was also feeling extremely shocked by this.
"You're asking me, but I don't know either. However, didn't Sect Master Yun Shan say it himself? He took a liking to Zhan'er's talent!"
Xiao Lin started talking nonsense without his face turning red or his breath hitching. Naturally, the contents of his transaction with Yun Shan were not something to be spread around carelessly.
While the three were bantering with each other, Yun Shan had already brought Xiao Zhan and walked over to stand in front of little Yun Yun.
"Junior Brother?"
Little Yun Yun tilted her head and called out.
"Greetings, Senior Sister Yun Yun."
As the junior brother, it was only proper to salute his senior sister.
Although this senior sister was quite small...
The seniority must not be messed up!
When little Yun Yun heard Xiao Zhan call her Senior Sister, her eyes instantly lit up.
"Mm-hmm! Junior brother, once I become stronger in the future, I will protect you!"
At this moment, Yun Yun's motivation to become stronger was fully charged.
"Then I shall thank Senior Sister in advance."
Xiao Zhan smiled and nodded at this time.
Xiao Zhan naturally knew how much he weighed.
Don't look at the fact that his current cultivation was higher than Yun Yun's. Being surpassed by her in the future was basically a certainty. After all, how could the talent of the successor chosen by Yun Shan possibly be poor?
One must know that even during the Yun Lan Sect's weakest period, its Sect Master was a Dou Huang powerhouse, let alone now that Xiao Lin had returned the Earth Grade Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques to the Yun Lan Sect.
In the original story, when Yun Yun's plot began, she had a cultivation of around a Three-Star Dou Huang. In this life, if she practiced an Earth Grade Cultivation Technique, her cultivation would definitely be even higher by the time the plot started!
With this, the Yun Lan Sect's Disciple Recruitment Ceremony, which had left everyone feeling extremely surprised, finally came to a close. In the eyes of outsiders, the biggest winner of this ceremony was the Xiao Clan.
But in reality, only Yun Shan himself knew that his Yun Lan Sect was the true biggest winner!
After the ceremony ended, the various parties naturally dispersed. Soon, the events that took place within the Yun Lan Sect spread everywhere in just a few short days. Basically, all the major forces had learned of this matter.
Yun Shan had not only taken Yun Yun as his disciple but had also taken the Xiao Clan's Xiao Zhan!
This also caused the Xiao Clan's current status within the Jia Ma Empire to completely pull away from the Nalan Clan and the Mu Clan.
If not for the fact that the Mittel Clan had produced a Dou Huang like Hai Bodong, they would likely have been suppressed by the Xiao Clan as well. Furthermore, after becoming Yun Shan's disciple, Xiao Zhan temporarily remained within the Yun Lan Sect.
Because the Gale Wind Technique Xiao Zhan practiced originally belonged to the Yun Lan Sect, having Yun Shan teach him would definitely allow him to improve much faster than practicing alone.
As for Xiao Lin, after meeting with Yun Shan again in private, he returned to the Xiao Clan. Now, after Xiao Zhan had become Yun Shan's disciple, the Xiao Clan had completely gained the support of the Yun Lan Sect.
This made the already rapidly developing Xiao Clan feel as if it had activated a cheat code.
One must know that although the Xiao Clan possessed Earth Grade Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques because of Xiao Lin. The time was still short, and they hadn't been able to convert this heritage into actual strength yet.
But now, with the support of the Yun Lan Sect in all aspects, some of the Xiao Clan's businesses had even reached other neighboring empires!
In countries like the Chu Yun Empire, the Luo Yan Empire, and the Mulan Empire, there were already some partners of the Xiao Clan.
All of these were connections facilitated by the Yun Lan Sect. Toward this, the Xiao Clan naturally did not stand on ceremony. The Yun Lan Sect's attitude toward the Xiao Clan was basically obvious to anyone with eyes.
Therefore, naturally, no short-sighted force would choose to offend the Xiao Clan.
Just like that, in a flash, another two years passed.
During this period, the Xiao Clan rapidly developed itself.
As for Xiao Zhan, who had become Yun Shan's disciple, apart from returning to the Xiao Clan once or twice occasionally, he spent most of his time cultivating on the Yun Lan Mountain.
His cultivation, within these two years, had risen directly from a Three-Star Dou Shi to a Seven-Star Da Dou Shi!
This Dou Qi cultivation was already equal to his level at the start of the original story's plot. This was partly due to the credit of the Earth Grade Cultivation Technique, and partly because Yun Shan taught him well.
The current Xiao Zhan had just turned 20 years old!
