MM Racing 991. Giving Bodhi seeds
991. Giving Bodhi seeds
While Wei Jiangyuan was preparing the pill formula, Xiao Yan also spent two days traveling around Donglong Island. Because of his achievements that day, despite being human, he had gained extremely high prestige within Donglong Island. This situation was extremely rare in the entire history of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.
Furthermore, the relationships between magical beasts are simpler, purely admiring the strong. Therefore, Xiao Yan did not sense any xenophobia towards humans from the Ancient Dragon of the Void; on the contrary, it was quite enthusiastic.
Of course, this enthusiasm is still far less than that of the young disciples of the Starfall Pavilion.
After giving a Bodhi seed to Wei Jiangyuan, Xiao Yan did not forget Lei Jingxiao, who still received a share even though he had successfully broken through to the Dou Sheng realm.
In Xiao Yan's heart, he still felt somewhat indebted to his two brothers. Both of them had incredibly powerful backgrounds, supported by high-ranking Dou Sheng. Wei Jiangyuan was somewhat better off, given his relationship with Junior Sister Qingyu.
However, Lei Jingxiao remained in the Starfall Pavilion purely out of personal friendship with Xiao Yan. Even this time, when they came to the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void, since there were no other more suitable people, they directly assigned the two of them to the task. Strictly speaking, they weren't considered members of the Starfall Pavilion.
Far from being unwilling, they came without hesitation because of Little Fairy Doctor's words. It's important to understand that this alliance actually had some conflicting interests with the Thunder Clan, Elder Shennong, and the Medicine Clan behind him. However, neither of them brought this up, and even Wei Jiangyuan, with his extremely clever nature, didn't choose to use it to gain credit.
Without the two of them, Starfall Pavilion would definitely face even more trouble.
Although Xiao Yan didn't say it out loud, he was deeply grateful to the two of them and always wanted to repay them in some way. He couldn't offer anything ordinary, so having the Bodhi Seed was the best choice.
Of course, all of this is just Xiao Yan's personal opinion.
In fact, when Xiao Yan saw Lei Jingxiao again and saw the completely unreserved atmosphere between the two, he knew that his worries about them were unnecessary.
Lei Jingxiao's attitude towards himself is the simplest and purest sincerity.
What Xiao Yan hadn't thought about in detail was that the reason Lei Jingxiao was so willing to follow him was because he had never thought of using Lei Jingxiao. He had only been protected by Lei Jingxiao like a younger brother because of Jiang Yunyan's instructions.
Lei Jingxiao may seem careless, but his understanding of true feelings is in no way inferior to others. He could tell that Xiao Yan was genuinely good to him, so he reciprocated in the same way.
However, after Xiao Yan gave away the Bodhi Seed, something unexpected still happened to him.
After receiving the Bodhi Seed, Lei Jingxiao thanked Xiao Yan and asked: "Could you give it to Zi Yan?"
Later, under Xiao Yan's persistent questioning, he learned that Lei Jingxiao had originally vowed to come to the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan to pledge his love to Zi Yan.
But in reality, once he arrived and saw Zi Yan's true face, Lei Jingxiao didn't know what to do. Even with Wei Jiangyuan offering advice, he still didn't dare to express his opinion. In addition, Zi Yan still needed to absorb the Dragon Emperor's Origin Fruit at the time, so Lei Jingxiao used the excuse of not wanting to disturb her to keep putting things off.
Even after so much time has passed, whether Zi Yan has feelings for Lei Jingxiao remains an open question. Especially since Lei Jingxiao is hesitant to speak whenever he sees Zi Yan, only observing her silently, with absolutely no progress made.
Now that the great battle is over and everything has stabilized, Lei Jingxiao is putting his plans to confide in Zi Yan back on the agenda.
Seeing Lei Jingxiao's hesitant and indecisive demeanor, wanting to go forward one moment and retreat the next, Xiao Yan couldn't help but chuckle. Lei Jingxiao, usually decisive and never indecisive, seemed hesitant and fearful when it came to matters of the heart.
However, Xiao Yan still told him that Bodhi Seed and Zi Yan also had a share, so that he wouldn't give away the portion that was originally prepared for him.
Of course, even when Lei Jingxiao was in the most dire situation, he did not forget to ask his good older brother Xiao Yan if he had any hope.
Seeing the expectant look on his face, Xiao Yan naturally couldn't bring himself to discourage him, so he could only conclude that with his background, strength, and appearance, he was sure to succeed!
Hearing Xiao Yan say that, and considering his authority in this area, Lei Jingxiao's anxious heart calmed down a little.
Xiao Yan thought that Lei Jingxiao would take advantage of this situation and immediately begin preparing to confess to Zi Yan. However, to his surprise, the next moment Lei Jingxiao still planned to go to Wei Jiangyuan and ask him for advice.
Faced with Lei Jingxiao's state, Xiao Yan didn't know what to say and could only let him be. In Xiao Yan's heart, he hoped that Zi Yan and Lei Jingxiao could be together, as they were well-matched in many ways.
Xiao Yan also visited Qingmu, the Great Elder of Donglong Island. This old man was also very respectable. If he hadn't held back the Southern Dragon King that day, Xiao Yan might not have been able to release the Fire Lotus and secure victory.
However, the battle that day had still taken a heavy toll on him, leaving him in a much weaker state. This is a common problem among these veteran powerhouses; as they age, even with exceptional strength, their stamina diminishes significantly in life-or-death battles.
Not to mention, in that battle, Aoki practically abandoned everything and burned his very essence to fight.
Therefore, when Xiao Yan gave the Bodhi Seed to Zi Yan, Zi Yan also gave it to Qing Mu without hesitation. Even though Qing Mu was a Dou Sheng powerhouse and did not need the Bodhi Seed to break through his bottleneck, the Bodhi Ancient Tree's enormous vitality could alleviate his exhaustion after the bloody battle to the greatest extent.
In Zi Yan's words, although she is the empress of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, she is only suitable as a soul, not as a brain.
If she were truly allowed to manage the vast Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void, who knows what kind of chaos she would create? More than strength, she still needs Elder Qingmu's assistance. Hearing these words, the old man was naturally moved to tears, extremely grateful that he had chosen the right person to follow.
Whether they are partners or allies, Xiao Yan is extremely kind and reliable to his own people. He also promised that he and his teacher, Yao Lao, would do their utmost to help Elder Qingmu recover.
Donglong Island was naturally more than happy to form an alliance. Whether it was out of a desire to confront the current situation on the mainland, or because the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan owed Xiao Yan a debt of gratitude from the great war, they couldn't refuse, both morally and logically.
