Chapter 109: Two Carefree Masters

Chapter 109: Two Carefree Masters

"I have to admit, Min'er is quite skilled at leveraging connections to her advantage!"

In the top level chamber of Tiance Pavilion, Xiao Tiance chuckled at Huang Jiuji's teasing.

"Min'er is sharp and resourceful, always finding the simplest solution to any problem. That's a valuable trait. After all, as long as the results are good, does the method really matter?"

Huang Jiuji smiled approvingly. "Indeed. In contrast, Ling Yun is much steadier, and the two of them complement each other nicely. They make a good team."

Xiao Tiance nodded in agreement. **"Speaking of which, I have good news for you, Huang Lao. Remember how I promised to help you forge a new body a thousand years ago? I've finally found a way to make it happen.

However, it will take another five to ten years to complete."**

Huang Jiuji's eyes widened in surprise and delight. "Truly? You've found a way?"

Even though he had grown used to living as a soul form, the prospect of regaining a physical body filled him with excitement.

"It's true," Xiao Tiance reassured him. "Once the necessary resources are secured, I'll personally see to it that you are restored."

"Haha! Excellent! I look forward to the day I can stand among the living once again. With a body, I'll be able to guide the Heavenly Phoenix Clan to new heights." Huang Jiuji laughed heartily, his joy evident.

After chatting for a while, Huang Jiuji departed. Not long after, Xiao Chun arrived, his face brimming with excitement.

"Tiance, I just received word from the Gu Clan. Gu Dao and Gu Lie want to bring some of their younger talents here to spar and exchange insights with our clan's younger generation," Xiao Chun announced.

This sort of visit between ancient clans was a mark of respect and recognition. To Xiao Chun, it symbolized the Xiao Clan's resurgence in glory.

Xiao Tiance smiled knowingly, understanding his uncle's enthusiasm. **"This is indeed good news. The Gu Clan's willingness to come shows their acknowledgment of us.

However, instead of limiting it to just the Gu and Xiao Clans, why not invite the Yao Clan, Yan Clan, Lei Clan, as well as the Ling and Stone Clans?

It has been many years since all eight ancient clans last gathered for an exchange tournament. This could be an excellent opportunity to revive that tradition."**

Xiao Chun's eyes lit up. **"Exactly what I was thinking! What a grand event it would be to see all eight clans gather once again.

It's a shame the Hun Clan wouldn't dare show their faces, though. Otherwise, we could remind them just how formidable we are."**

Hearing this, Xiao Tiance frowned slightly. **"The Hun Clan? Forget it. Right now, they probably wish to avoid us at all costs. They wouldn't risk appearing even if invited.

Let's focus on organizing the tournament and ensuring it's a success."**

"True enough. I'll handle the arrangements." Xiao Chun hesitated for a moment before continuing. "That said, there is something else I wanted to discuss with you."

"What is it, Uncle?"

**"You and Qing'er are the only ones among the elders still unmarried.

I was thinking, why not use this opportunity to invite the other clans to bring their finest young women along?

If you or Qing'er find someone suitable, perhaps we can turn this into a dual celebration. What do you think?"**

Xiao Chun spoke carefully, aware that Xiao Tiance had dodged this topic many times before.

Xiao Tiance sighed inwardly, understanding his uncle's intentions. After a brief pause, he replied, **"Uncle, focus on Qing'er. He's of age and has worked tirelessly for the clan. It's time he had a family.

As for me, I'm not interested in finding a partner right now. Let's not worry about it."**

"You used to at least make excuses. Now you don't even bother!" Xiao Chun shook his head in exasperation but relented. **"Fine, I'll arrange something for Qing'er.

That said, when the seven clans gather, you must attend. As clan leader, your presence is essential."**

"Don't worry, Uncle. I'll be there."

Night in Tianwaitian

Under a starry sky, Xiao Tiance sat atop Tiance Pavilion, lost in thought. Although Tianwaitian was an artificial space, he had replicated the stars and moon perfectly, creating an illusion of a tranquil night.

As the cool breeze brushed past him, his thoughts wandered to his past life and the family he had left behind.

The serene moonlight reflected his ethereal demeanor, making him appear like an otherworldly immortal.

At Tianji Tower Headquarters

Meanwhile, Tian Luo prepared to leave after giving Xiao Qing his final instructions.

Seeing him about to depart, Xiao Qing called out, "Tian Luo, are you leaving so soon?"

Tian Luo laughed. "Of course. With you managing things here, what's there to worry about?"

"It's not that... but can't you delay your trip a little? Apart from dealing with the Ling and Stone Clans, we're now welcoming leaders from Zhongzhou's various factions. I can't handle everything by myself!" Xiao Qing sighed in exasperation.

Tian Luo chuckled and patted him on the shoulder. "You'll manage. I have faith in you. Besides, the task entrusted to me by the clan leader cannot be delayed."

Before Xiao Qing could protest further, Tian Luo opened a spatial gate and disappeared.

Left standing alone, Xiao Qing muttered dejectedly, "Truly a reflection of my Third Uncle. Both of you are masters at dumping all the work on others. How am I supposed to handle all of this alone?!"

Shaking his head, Xiao Qing returned to the meeting room where the Ling Clan elders were waiting.

As he entered, they greeted him respectfully.

"Greetings, Lord Xiao Qing."

While this form of address might have been unthinkable before, the Ling Clan's status had diminished since allying with the Xiao Clan.

In addition, Xiao Qing's status as a Nine Star Dou Saint left them no room for disrespect.

"Elders, there's no need for formalities. Lord Tian Luo has entrusted all matters to me. If you have any concerns, feel free to bring them directly to me," Xiao Qing said with a polite smile.
