323. Subdue by taking advantage of the situation
"My father and two older brothers are all very easy-going people, they will like you," Xiao Yan said, stroking the back of Little Fairy Doctor's long hair to comfort her.
Little Fairy Doctor smiled lightly and murmured, "That's good."
Neither of them noticed that Little Fairy Doctor was laughing more often than usual that evening, perhaps due to genuine joy and happiness. She even asked Xiao Yan, "Could you take me for a walk?"
Xiao Yan also looked puzzled and asked, "Our injuries haven't healed yet, where do you want to go?"
"We don't need to go far; it can be done in the mountains within the Starfall Pavilion."
"Why did you suddenly think that way?" Xiao Yan asked curiously.
Little Fairy Doctor muttered, "Is it boring staying here? Or do you want to sleep with me?"
The remark was originally meant to be teasing, and Little Fairy Doctor's eyes held a mischievous glint. But then she moved even closer to Xiao Yan, a rather provocative move, confident that Xiao Yan wouldn't be rude after she spoke frankly. Looking at the somewhat childish Little Fairy Doctor, Xiao Yan chuckled and then led her out of the room.
The two hadn't gone far when they spotted a familiar figure. Xiao Yan exchanged a knowing glance with Little Fairy Doctor and called out, "Pavilion Master Fei Tian, where are you going?"
The man before him was none other than Fei Tian, the Northern Pavilion Master of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, who had personally abducted and killed Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor! Fei Tian had now regained his freedom and appeared to be preparing to leave the Starfall Pavilion. However, upon seeing the relaxed expressions on Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor's faces, Fei Tian immediately tensed up. These two had personally captured him and brought him to the Starfall Pavilion. Of course, it was also his fault for leading people to abduct and kill a Dou Zun powerhouse.
Fei Tian also bowed and said, "I was blind and offended you at the time. You may kill me or torture me as you please."
Seeing this, Xiao Yan smiled and said to Fei Tian, "I've actually seen what happened to you. Elder Feng also told me about letting you leave."
During the great battle, Fei Tian not only didn't return to the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, but instead kept pointing out the weaknesses in the Starfall Pavilion's formation. After gaining their trust, he even joined the Starfall Pavilion's ranks. Because of Fei Tian's addition as an eight-star Dou Zong, the Starfall Pavilion suffered fewer casualties. Therefore, after the battle, Venerable Wind decided to release Fei Tian, and Xiao Yan expressed no objection. Although Fei Tian had indeed tried to kill him, Xiao Yan was ultimately unaffected and even obtained the Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Body.
"Why did Pavilion Master Fei Tian join the Starfall Pavilion's camp today?" Xiao Yan also raised his question, and even Little Fairy Doctor, who was right next to Xiao Yan, was very curious at this moment.
After all, Fei Tian couldn't have known that the Tianluan Clan was coming to his rescue. Joining the Starfall Pavilion would have been a certain death situation, while the Wind and Thunder Pavilion had the upper hand. Although Fei Tian's intentions were beyond question, Xiao Yan really couldn't figure out why he did it.
Fei Tian sighed deeply, a look of dejection on his face: "You don't understand the Pavilion Master. What he cares about most is his reputation. His reason for coming to the Starfall Pavilion is that I was killed by you. So even if I go back, he will eliminate me to protect the reputation of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion."
Since returning to the Wind and Thunder Pavilion would also mean certain death, it would be better to join the Starfall Pavilion and gamble on a chance of survival! At this moment, Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor understood, and Xiao Yan asked, "So, what are Pavilion Master Fei Tian's plans next?"
Xiao Yan's problem also stumped Fei Tian. With Lei Zunzhe dead, the disbandment and disappearance of the Fenglei Pavilion was only a matter of time. Fei Tian was merely a Northern Pavilion Master of the Fenglei Pavilion, and he was likely already being looked down upon by the remaining members. For the time being, he truly had nowhere else to go.
In an instant, a sense of sorrow welled up within him, and Fei Tian seemed to have aged many years: "Now we can only take it one step at a time."
"How about we stay at the Starfall Pavilion?" Xiao Yan said with a smile.
Fei Tian was completely taken aback by this suggestion and stood there dumbfounded for a moment. Xiao Yan wasn't in a hurry and simply smiled, waiting for his decision. At this moment, Fei Tian felt a sense of clarity returning to his heart. The truthfulness and effectiveness of what Xiao Yan said were beyond doubt. He was the personal disciple of the Medicine Venerable, the young master of the Starfall Pavilion personally acknowledged by the Wind Venerable, and capable of killing a Dou Zun expert; keeping him alive would naturally be no problem.
There's no need to worry about the future of Starfall Pavilion. Wind Venerable is already the strongest among the four pavilion masters, and with the addition of Little Fairy Doctor and Xiao Yan, they now possess three Dou Zun-level combat power. In the future, they'll have the continent's number one alchemist, Medicine Venerable, and the Heavenly Phoenix Clan who provided support from afar. Starfall Pavilion's potential is limitless. Surpassing the Three Valleys and even the Two Sects is highly possible! Joining such a force guarantees plenty of opportunities to benefit. Even if one's status isn't as high as in Wind and Thunder Pavilion, the platform will certainly be better.
"Young Master, I have only one question: Can the Starfall Pavilion disregard my past identity?" Fei Tian asked in a humble manner.
"I would have minded before, but after today's battle, I won't anymore," Xiao Yan said earnestly.
Past grudges and conflicts pale in comparison to the camaraderie forged in the life-or-death battle. Xiao Yan is not a petty or vindictive person.
Upon hearing this, Fei Tian's dejected expression vanished, replaced by excitement for the future. He bowed to Xiao Yan and said, "Then I'll go find Venerable Feng now, without disturbing Young Master's enjoyment any longer."
After watching Fei Tian hastily leave using the Three Thousand Thunderbolts, Xiao Yan asked Little Fairy Doctor, who was holding his arm again, "What do you think?"
Little Fairy Doctor smiled approvingly: "Young Master, what excellent methods you have! With the masters of Wind and Thunder Pavilion and Yellow Springs Pavilion already fallen, their collapse is only a matter of time. Starfall Pavilion needs to seize this opportunity to strengthen itself. Although Fei Tian lacks both strength and vision, he was once the Northern Master of Wind and Thunder Pavilion. He is suitable as a manager or to gather the remaining forces of Wind and Thunder Pavilion."
"But he is from the Wind and Thunder Pavilion after all, and he once ambushed and killed us."
"That's even better. No matter how much we trust him, Fei Tian will never forget his roots. He'll definitely be more diligent in his work. As for betraying us, the Wind and Thunder Pavilion has already disappeared, and the Ice River Valley Soul Hall doesn't even look at him. Even if he wanted to, he wouldn't have the chance. What waves can a mere eight-star Dou Zong stir up?" Little Fairy Doctor spoke eloquently, and even Xiao Yan couldn't help but admire the latter's sharp insight.
Xiao Yan smiled and said, "A mere eight-star Dou Zong, it seems you're implying something?"
