Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Page 519

The group exchanged glances, all seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes. Xiao Fan's personality was something most people couldn't get along with.

However, before entering the secret chamber, Venerable Feng and the others did not speak to disturb them, their gazes falling on the place where Elder Yao was in seclusion.

After all, breaking through to the Dou Sheng realm is a major event, and if that old fellow Yao Chen is in seclusion, he has probably set up an array inside his cave.

He might not even be able to sense the commotion from the outside world.

They were also worried that Xiao Fan might become flustered and rush in, interrupting Yao Chen's breakthrough, which would be disastrous.

However, Venerable Feng and the others were overthinking it. Xiao Fan also understood the importance of cultivation. If Elder Yao did not notice anything outside, he naturally would not interfere.

Fortunately, the worst-case scenario did not occur.

Even while cultivating within the Starfall Pavilion, Elder Yao still spared a sliver of his attention to keep an eye on the outside world.

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, Yao Lao slowly stopped refining the Dou Sheng's left arm.

"Squeak~"

As the cave gate slowly opened, the figure of the old medicine master appeared in everyone's sight.

"What happened? Did the Soul Palace attack because you suddenly appeared here?"

The old man's aged voice rang out, and his tone was slightly teasing as he looked at the crowd outside. His figure, which had already been refined into a physical body, appeared in Xiao Fan's field of vision.

Yao Lao's body was crafted by Xiao Yan. When Xiao Fan left, Yao Lao was still in a soul state, so even Xiao Fan had never seen Yao Lao with a physical body.

"teacher........"

Looking at the old doctor in front of him, Xiao Fan felt a slight soreness in his nose. In his heart, the old doctor was no longer just a character in a book, but a living person, his teacher who guided his cultivation day and night.

"hehe........"

The old doctor looked at Xiao Fan and smiled gently.

Xiao Fan suppressed his surging emotions. This was not the time for reminiscing, after all, the Soul Palace was about to depart, and the safety of the Starfall Pavilion depended entirely on Yao Lao.

"teacher........"

Xiao Fan took out the Creation Saint's left leg from his storage ring and handed it to Yao Lao.

"This is a Dou Sheng's left leg. Combined with the previous Dou Sheng's left arm, our chances of reaching Dou Sheng level this time should be much greater!"

The old doctor looked at the Dou Sheng's left leg that appeared in Xiao Fan's hand with surprise.

However, when his gaze swept over Venerable Feng and the others behind Xiao Fan, he noticed the lingering gloom on their faces and seemed to realize something.

Yao Lao took the Dou Sheng's left leg from Xiao Fan and nodded solemnly.

"Don't worry, I've roamed the Dou Qi Continent for so many years. A mere Dou Sheng realm cultivator can't stop me at all!"

The old apothecary's confident gaze fell on Xiao Fan, his eyes revealing a hint of gentleness.

"On the contrary, you don't need to carry everything on your own shoulders. You'll easily break yourself down like that. Right now, we old guys are here to support you."

"Um......."

Xiao Fan nodded, and then he and Venerable Feng watched as Elder Yao re-entered the cave for seclusion.

As the formation slowly rotated, Xiao Fan turned around and looked at Venerable Feng and the others behind him, a smile appearing on his face.

"Elder Feng, I'm afraid we'll have to trouble you to mobilize the disciples in the pavilion next!"

"Don't worry."

Venerable Feng spoke slowly and solemnly, and all matters concerning the Starfall Pavilion fell to Venerable Feng and the others, with Xiao Fan not interfering.

After handing over Dou Sheng's left leg to Yao Lao, Xiao Fan bid farewell to Feng Zun Zhe and the others, and flew towards Xiao Yan's location.

Having received news that the Soul Palace would take action, Venerable Feng and the others naturally began devising countermeasures for the Starfall Pavilion in a great hurry.

After all, it's impossible to place all our hopes on the old doctor.

Venerable Feng and Venerable Tianhuo immediately convened a meeting of the elders of the Starfall Pavilion to discuss countermeasures. Xiao Fan, however, did not participate in any of this...

.................

In the back mountain of Starfall Pavilion, Xiao Fan had already sensed the aura from afar even before he got close.

Inside the cave, Xiao Yan and Xun'er sat by the pool. Xiao Yan kept an eye on the pool and occasionally added some medicinal powder.

Xiao Yan's gaze fell on Qing Lin in the pool, and he could sense that the Emperor Python Heart-Eating Poison in Qing Lin's body had dissipated considerably.

"I didn't expect it to take four days, but it's almost done!"

Xiao Yan observed the changes in the pool, a hint of relief appearing on his face. Then, his gaze fell on Xun'er beside him, a trace of guilt appearing in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, it's so rare to see you, but I have to..."

"Brother Xiao Yan."

Xun'er looked at Xiao Yan, reached out and covered his mouth, her voice gentle, and shook her head as she spoke:

"Saving lives is the priority, Brother Xiao Yan, you don't need to feel indebted to anyone. Besides, Xun'er being here with Brother Xiao Yan is a kind of companionship."

As Xiao Yan listened to Xun'er's words and looked at the gentle face of the girl in front of him, a warm feeling rose in his heart, and he felt much more relaxed.

"but........"

Xun'er's gaze fell on Xiao Fan, and she continued speaking:

"I'm afraid I can't stay any longer. This trip was already rushed, and it won't be long before I have to return to my clan."

Seeing the sudden disappointment in Xiao Yan's eyes, Xun'er smiled and slowly spoke, holding Xiao Yan's arm:

"but......."

"Once I return to the clan and complete the ceremony, those old fogies will no longer be able to restrain me!"

"real!?"

Upon hearing Xun'er's words, Xiao Yan's disappointment turned to joy, and he looked at Xun'er, hoping to get a positive answer.

"of course!"

Xun'er nodded, her gaze falling on Xiao Yan, her tone revealing a hint of playfulness.

"And if Brother Xiao Yan is willing, he can come to the Ancient Clan then too~"

Xiao Yan looked at the playful girl in front of him, a smile appearing on his face, while a resolute look flashed in his eyes.

"I will definitely come!"

"Okay!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's affirmative answer, Xun'er smiled sweetly, took out a golden invitation from her storage ring, and slowly handed it to Xiao Yan:

"Then it's settled. This is the visiting card that Xun'er prepared for Brother Xiao Yan."

Xiao Yan took the visiting card from Xun'er and solemnly put it into his storage ring.

Ancient tribes......

Xiao Yan had only ever heard about Xun'er's powerful backing from his teacher, but he had never actually seen it.

However, the fact that even the number one alchemist who dominates the continent is so wary suggests that the power behind Xun'er is probably beyond most people's imagination.

However, Xiao Yan's determination never wavered. No matter what kind of power Xun'er had behind her, even if she was a Dou Di, it could not change his mind.

Nothing could stop his determination to be with Xun'er!

Chapter 281 Ancient Heavenly Snake

"Click!"

At this moment, Xiao Yan and Xun'er also heard the sounds coming from outside the cave.

Of course, this was something Xiao Fan deliberately made; otherwise, with his strength, how could he have created such an obvious commotion?

Xiao Fan did this to remind Xiao Yan that he had arrived.

However, when Xiao Fan saw Xun'er and Xiao Yan come out of the cave together, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

After all, in Xiao Fan's memory, Xun'er shouldn't be in the Starfall Pavilion.

"Xun'er?"

"Brother!"

"Brother Xiao Fan!"

The three exchanged glances, all seeing the surprise in each other's eyes. Xiao Yan and Xun'er hadn't expected that Xiao Fan would return to the Starfall Pavilion so quickly after they parted ways at the Dou Sheng Ruins.

For a moment, all three of them were stunned.

"Xun'er, how could you...?"

Xiao Fan's gaze fell on Xun'er with a puzzled look, then turned to the cave behind them. He spoke with some doubt:

"Wasn't Junior Brother helping Qinglin eliminate the toxins from his body? Could it be...?"

Seeing Xiao Fan's puzzled expression, Xiao Yan interrupted him and explained:

"Qinglin is still inside. After Xun'er returned from the Dou Sheng Ruins, she came back to Xingyun Pavilion with us. But I'm afraid she'll have to leave again in a few days."

Xiao Yan's gaze fell on Xiao Fan, his expression showing some curiosity. He looked at Xiao Fan and spoke:

"Senior brother, weren't you going to...? Why did you suddenly come back?"
