When Yang Xiyue took the storage ring from Xiao Lin's hand and scanned the so-called "trinkets" inside, she couldn't help but cover her small mouth with her hand in shock.
"Father, the things in this storage ring are too precious, I cannot accept them."
Clearly, Yang Xiyue was frightened by the scale of the gift.
After all, what kind of person gives "trinkets" that consist of over ten million gold coins, various medicinal pills, high-level medicinal ingredients, monster cores, massive blocks of Mithril, and formation plates that were practically priceless on the market?
In truth, Xiao Lin had originally wanted to stuff some Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques into the storage ring as well.
However, considering that Yang Xiyue was now a member of the Xiao Clan and could directly enter the Library Hall to select her own techniques and methods, he felt it wasn't strictly necessary.
Furthermore, the formation plate inside that storage ring was a Rank 3 formation plate that Xiao Lin had specifically crafted for his daughter-in-law before his silly son's wedding; it was inscribed with a Sea of Fire Formation.
Not only that, if the Sea of Fire Formation in Yang Xiyue's hand was used together with the Thunder Summoning Formation in Xiao Zhan's hand, it would transform into a Rank 4 formation—the Heavenly Thunder Earthly Fire Formation!
That's right, this was one of the latest combination formation plates Xiao Lin had researched. Initially, Xiao Lin found it too difficult to directly inscribe formations above Rank 4 onto a single plate, which gave him this idea.
That was to create combination-type formation plates!
If this type of plate was used alongside certain specific plates, it could merge the formations within the two plates, elevating them to a higher grade. Coincidentally, the Thunder Summoning Formation and the Sea of Fire Formation were exactly that kind of combination.
Since Xiao Zhan and Yang Xiyue were now married, Xiao Lin decided to gift such a plate. It was no exaggeration to say that if these two formation plates were combined and put up for sale, the price would definitely be far higher than most Tier 7 Pills!
In the past, Xiao Lin had always envied alchemists for being able to use medicinal pills as currency to exchange for goods. Now, with Xiao Lin's skill in crafting formation plates, his ability to make money was not inferior to alchemy.
Before marrying Xiao Zhan, Yang Xiyue had stayed with the Xiao Clan for nearly half a year, so she naturally knew how precious these formation plates were. At the same time, Yang Xiyue had long since keenly discovered that the Xiao Clan was unlike any ordinary Dou Wang level clan.
One must know that a typical Dou Wang clan could never produce as many good things as the Xiao Clan. It could be said that the more Yang Xiyue understood, the more she felt the mystery of the Xiao Clan.
It was only because she had just married Xiao Zhan that she didn't yet know that on the third floor of the Xiao Clan's Library Hall, there were dozens of Earth Grade Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques; otherwise, she would probably have fainted from shock!
After all, if the hidden assets of the Xiao Clan were exposed, even Dou Zun level powers would likely be tempted.
Yang Xiyue of today was only seeing the tip of the iceberg of what the Xiao Clan was hiding. However, it was precisely because she didn't yet fully understand the Xiao Clan that she was so startled after her father-in-law prepared such a massive "red envelope" for her.
Setting other things aside for a moment, the sight of those ten million bright gold coins alone almost blinded her eyes. That was just the item she considered the least valuable in the storage ring...
One could see just how much shock Yang Xiyue was feeling in her heart right now.
No wonder she didn't dare to accept this "red envelope" given to her by Xiao Lin.
"I already said we are family, Xiyue, just take it. These things are not worth mentioning to my Xiao Clan. In the future, you will see the hidden foundation that my Xiao Clan possesses!"
Looking at Yang Xiyue, who was startled by the 'red envelope' he had given, Xiao Lin spoke with a light smile.
In fact, Xiao Lin wasn't lying.
As the Xiao Clan's business grew larger and larger—especially after the resources allocated from participating in the Sect Grand Meeting—this small amount of items given to his daughter-in-law really didn't amount to much anymore.
"This..."
Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Yang Xiyue momentarily turned her gaze toward Xiao Zhan, wanting her husband to make the decision for her.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhan gave a smiling nod to his new bride.
"Yue'er, just accept it. My father isn't lying to you; these things really don't amount to much for our Xiao Clan. You should know, especially in my father's hands, there are definitely many more good things! If I could, sometimes I'd even want to dig out some treasures from him myself."
Hearing Xiao Zhan speak this way, Yang Xiyue finally felt a bit more at ease.
"Alright, I understand. Thank you, Father!"
Finally, under Xiao Zhan's persuasion, Yang Xiyue accepted the storage ring handed over by Xiao Lin. To be honest, having her father-in-law give her such a massive "red envelope," Yang Xiyue was both excited and happy in her heart.
"Good, that's more like it, hahaha!"
Seeing his daughter-in-law accept his "red envelope," Xiao Lin burst into laughter. When it came to his own people, Xiao Lin would never treat them poorly.
Moreover, this was his own daughter-in-law!
"Father, then what about mine?"
However, Xiao Lin's good mood had only lasted a moment before his thick-skinned, silly son reached out his hand toward him again.
"Beat it, beat it, get lost! Have I given you few good things? Your current priority is to increase your strength and stop relying so much on these external items!"
Xiao Lin slapped away his silly son's hand with a look of feigned disgust and spoke.
"Tch~, if you won't give it, you won't give it. Stingy!"
Hearing his son's grumbling, Xiao Lin's forehead was covered in black lines. Xiao Lin suddenly realized that after this silly son of his got married, he seemed to have become even more deserving of a beating!
However, for the sake of his daughter-in-law, Xiao Lin decided not to thrash him for the time being.
"Alright, go on and do whatever it is you need to do. I've been in seclusion for five days, and I expect there's a pile of Xiao Clan matters waiting for me to handle personally. Oh, right—as for some of the Xiao Clan's secrets, you should be the one to tell Xiyue."
After handing out the 'red envelope' to his dear daughter-in-law, Xiao Lin directly shooed them away.
"The Xiao Clan's secrets?"
Hearing her father-in-law mention this, Yang Xiyue blinked, her face full of curiosity.
Having lived in the Xiao Clan for over half a year, she knew the clan had secrets, but she didn't know specifically what they were.
"Yue'er, come with me. Next, let me tell you about some of our Xiao Clan's secrets!"
Since his old man was already kicking them out, and he indeed wanted some time alone with his wife, Xiao Zhan took Yang Xiyue by the hand and prepared to leave the hall. He wanted to whisper the Xiao Clan's secrets to his wife in private.
However, a similar situation occurred once again, half a year later!
Before the young couple could even step out of the hall, Xiao Lin's voice drifted into their ears.
"By the way, now that you two are married, you should put in some effort. I'm already starting to want to hold a grandson!"
This time, however, what Xiao Lin said was exactly the opposite of half a year ago—he was urging them to conceive!
"Father, you..."
"Let's just go!"
Xiao Zhan wanted to say something else, but he was hurriedly pulled away by his wife, who was overwhelmed with embarrassment.
"Hahaha!"
In the end, only Xiao Lin's laughter echoed through the hall.
