"Tell me about it, what exactly is going on? You were already hiding your strength to begin with, so why did you set up a show like this?"
Toward this, Yun Shan was completely unable to understand!
One had to know that if Xiao Lin chose to expose his strength, then the entire Jia Ma Empire would hold the Xiao Clan in supreme reverence!
However, leaving aside the fact that Xiao Lin had previously chosen to hide his strength, now he even had to fake a "severe injury and coma", making Yun Shan somewhat unable to figure out Xiao Lin's train of thought.
If he himself possessed this strength, wouldn't he have already announced it to the world long ago!
Perhaps this was just the difference between people.
"Sigh, if it were possible, I wouldn't want to either!"
Looking at Yun Shan whose face was filled with doubt, Xiao Lin let out a sigh and helplessly spread both of his hands.
Pausing for a brief moment, Xiao Lin also spoke up once more.
"If my deduction is correct, within the next three years, one of the three strongest individuals on the entire Dou Qi Continent today will likely come to visit my Xiao Clan."
"With my current situation, it is not suitable for me to meet with the other party. Otherwise, everything about me will be seen through by them at a single glance!"
As he spoke, Xiao Lin also revealed a bitter smile.
Just as Xiao Lin said, if it were possible, who would want to live in such a low-profile manner? Hadn't anyone seen how comfortably he lived in the Central Plains after changing to a different identity?
After Yun Shan finished listening to this statement from Xiao Lin, his pupils instantly shrank.
"One of the three strongest individuals on the Dou Qi Continent today will visit your Xiao Clan?"
Although his inner heart felt absolutely incredible and unbelievable, looking at Xiao Lin's serious expression, and thinking about the other party's various actions that did not conform to common sense, somehow, Yun Shan believed it.
After all, in this way, all of Xiao Lin's abnormal actions became reasonable, didn't they? As for who this so-called one of the three strongest individuals on the Dou Qi Continent today was?
With Yun Shan's level, he was unable to come into contact with it.
But this did not hinder him from being able to imagine the other party's power in his heart. That was absolutely an existence that was at the peak, even among Dou Shengs. An existence like that, by sneezing, could likely wipe out the peak Yun Lan Sect.
It could be said that this was an existence he absolutely could not afford to provoke!
"For such an expert to actually come visit your Xiao Clan, it seems your Xiao Clan still hides some unknown secret?"
Yun Shan spoke up, sighing with emotion once again.
Regarding this point, Yun Shan was still able to deduce it.
Otherwise, why would an existence like that come to visit the Xiao Clan?
"What? Does Sect Master Yun Shan want to know the secret of the Xiao Clan?"
Xiao Lin asked back with amusement.
"Don't! I still want to live a bit longer, after knowing this kind of secret, it's a safe bet that nothing good will come of it!"
Just as the sound of Xiao Lin's voice fell, Yun Shan revealed an expression full of resistance. With some matters, the more one knew, the earlier one died, Yun Shan still understood this principle.
Furthermore, Yun Shan himself was not a person with very heavy curiosity. Almost all of his mind was spent on how to make the Yun Lan Sect return to its peak. Among other things, there were very few that could arouse his interest.
Looking at Yun Shan's expression of fearing trouble, Xiao Lin also could not help but shake his head. However, Yun Shan's answer did not surpass his expectations.
"Speaking of which, Xiao Lin, you want to retreat into the background, right?"
After a long silence, Yun Shan spoke up, half-guessing.
In order to avoid one of the three peak experts of the Dou Qi Continent today, not hesitating to fake a "severe injury and coma", Yun Shan could only think of this reason.
"Yeah, only a 'severe injury' is the most reasonable reason to retreat into the background, isn't it?"
On this point, Xiao Lin had no intention of keeping Yun Shan in the dark.
In fact, it would be more accurate to say that he would still need Yun Shan's help with certain matters in the future!
"You've only been the Clan Leader of the Xiao Clan for about a dozen years, right? Are you really going to retreat into the background this early?"
"Under these circumstances, not retreating simply won't do."
The current Xiao Clan had already gradually gotten onto the right track.
Although Xiao Lin's retreat might cause the Xiao Clan to experience a period of turmoil. But in reality, as long as the master-disciple relationship between Yun Shan and Xiao Zhan remained, no one would dare to touch the Xiao Clan!
Furthermore, he was merely choosing to retreat into the background, it wasn't like he was dead!
"Alright, I understand. But speaking of which, it's quite a coincidence. Actually, I have also been preparing to choose to retreat into the background recently."
"Yun'er is already capable enough to shoulder the great responsibilities of the Yun Lan Sect! As for me, I can peacefully explore higher realms! In the past, my goal was the Dou Zong realm. But now, I am starting to become a little unsatisfied with just that!"
Yun Shan's talent could indeed be considered quite good.
After Xiao Lin returned the cultivation methods and Dou Techniques that the Yun Lan Sect had lost in the past to him, Yun Shan's current cultivation had already broken through to the Five-Star Dou Zong realm!
It could be said that Yun Shan had hope of aiming for the Dou Zun realm!
This also caused Yun Shan's inner heart to become burning hot.
"That's a good thing! Since we are both retreating, when we have free time in the future, I'll go find you to play chess!"
Xiao Lin suddenly teased at this moment.
"That would be for the best!"
Yun Shan also smiled and agreed.
Immediately after, Xiao Lin and Yun Shan also began to chat idly.
"Right, there are some matters that I need Sect Master Yun Shan to help with."
Thinking of something, Xiao Lin spoke up at this moment.
"Heh, you should have been waiting for me for a while already, right? Speak."
Regarding this point, Yun Shan had likewise deduced it.
After all, once the news of Xiao Lin's "severe injury and coma" spread, based on the situation where Yun Shan knew a portion of his strength, the other party would absolutely come to the Xiao Clan to make such a trip!
Besides, even if Yun Shan did not take the initiative himself, it was highly likely that Xiao Zhan, as a disciple, would still invite his own teacher to the Xiao Clan to help check on his father's condition.
One way or another, Yun Shan was bound to visit the Xiao Clan.
Right after, Xiao Lin laid out all the favors he needed from Yun Shan.
"Alright, I've got it!"
Yun Shan agreed to every single favor that Xiao Lin mentioned.
After that, Xiao Lin and Yun Shan chatted for a bit longer before Yun Shan departed. Not long after Yun Shan left, Xiao Lin "awakened". This instantly caused the entire upper and lower echelons of the Xiao Clan to be overjoyed beyond measure!
At the same time, they were also filled with boundless gratitude toward Yun Shan. After all, in the eyes of the Xiao Clan members, it must have been Yun Shan who used his methods to "save and revive" their Clan Leader.
Toward this, Yun Shan was also incredibly ashamed.
However, this kind of matter could not be explained clearly.
Therefore, he could only accept this "credit". But right after, Yun Shan told the members of the Xiao Clan a piece of "bad news". That was, although he had "saved and revived" Xiao Lin, the injuries Xiao Lin suffered earlier were simply too severe!
Even though he had "saved" Xiao Lin at this moment, it was estimated that Xiao Lin's strength in the future would find it difficult to make even an inch of progress. Not only that, there might even be a situation where Xiao Lin's strength would regress!
In addition, it was no longer suitable for Xiao Lin to overexert himself with "excessive" worry and labor in the future.
Otherwise, it might even affect his "lifespan"!
Regarding Yun Shan's notification, everyone in the Xiao Clan currently did not know what kind of emotion to show.
Their own Clan Leader "awakening" was definitively a good thing!
But the Clan Leader's strength and lifespan being affected was not something they wished to see. This was also the reason why the mood across the entire Xiao Clan was so incredibly complex.
