章節 18: Chapter 18: Gu Yuan

"Indeed, there is something passed down from the ancestors. Is the patriarch of the ancient clan here because of that piece of jade?" Xiao Zhan already knew about Gu Yuan's true purpose, but he still pretended not to know, and asked Gu Yuan .

For Xiao Zhan to ask such a question, Gu Yuan was not at all surprised, because if he was the patriarch of the Xiao clan, he would also think that he came here this time to take the ancient Tuoshe jade from the reclusive Xiao clan.

In fact, if it weren't for him, there would be some old men in the clan who might have come to grab him, and they would not reluctantly accept this roundabout strategy, letting Xun'er infiltrate the Xiao family and secretly search for the whereabouts of him. .

Looking at Xiao Zhan, Gu Yuan shook his head gently and said, "That piece of jade is after all something from your Xiao clan, and my former clan has no intention of getting involved."

"Then why did Patriarch Gu Yuan come here?" Xiao Zhan pretended to be puzzled and asked Gu Yuan again.

Gu Yuan didn't reply to Xiao Zhan right away, but looked at the girl next to her with sweet eyes and softly called out, "Xun'er, come here."

The girl called Xun'er lifted her little feet up and slowly walked towards her father's side.

Gu Yuan stroked the girl's hair and said, "Her name of hers is Xun'er, she is my daughter, I plan to let her stay in the Xiao family for a while."

Xiao Zhan listened to the meaning of Gu Yuan's words, looked deeply at the Xun'er girl, and asked Gu Yuan: "I also ask Gu Yuan's patriarch to forgive me for taking the liberty of speaking, the ancient clan is an ancient imperial clan, the girl Xun'er is the daughter of patriarch Gu Yuan, with distinguished status… Wouldn't it be safer to let her grow up by your side, why did you send her to my Xiao family…"

A complex color flashed in Gu Yuan's eyes, and he said to Xiao Zhan: "When the family grows, it is inevitable that some filth will be born. My old clan is not as beautiful and peaceful as you think. Compared to letting my old clan grow." aside, I hope you can have a happy childhood."

"As for his safety, Patriarch Xiao can rest assured that nothing will happen."

Xiao Zhan did not say anything else.

Gu Yuan's purpose of coming here this time is to foster Gu Xun'er in the Xiao family, he has known this for a long time.

But he doesn't agree with Gu Yuan's words for Xun'er to have a happy childhood.

"Maybe the Xiao family is less dirty than the huge ancient clan. Living in such an environment is quite peaceful. However, what is childhood happiness without parents?

After the thought faded away, Xiao Zhan solemnly said to Gu Yuan: "Since Patriarch Gu Yuan said so, she will stay in my Xiao family, don't worry, my strength for Patriarch Gu Yuan may not be worth it." worth mentioning, but I will definitely swear to protect Miss Xun'er's safety."

Gu Yuan shook his head and said, "Patriarch Xiao doesn't need to be like this, just treat her like an ordinary girl from the Xiao family."

He said, and a storage ring appeared in Gu Yuan's hand.

Gu Yuan tossed it lightly, and it flew towards Xiao Zhan immediately.

Xiao Zhan took the ring and looked at Gu Yuan in puzzlement.

Gu Yuan explained, "The contents should be regarded as the reward for fostering Xun'er into the Xiao family. I have already erased the soul imprint on this ring."

"If that's the case, then I won't be polite!" Hearing Gu Yuan's words, Xiao Zhan also did not refuse and happily accepted the ring.

Gu Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

This patriarch of the Xiao clan is somewhat similar to his old friend Xiao Xuan, some of whom are free and uninhibited, eclectic.

After the matter of taking Xun'er into the Xiao family was properly handled, Gu Yuan's purpose was basically completed. He was about to say a few more words to his daughter and exhort the other party.

After all, it will be a few years before we meet again.

Although he has lived for a thousand years, some years seem like an instant to him, but Xun'er is his daughter after all, and she is still something different.

At this moment, Xiao Zhan spoke abruptly, which caught Gu Yuan's attention.

"Patriarch Gu Yuan, can you make a deal?"

"Oh?"

Gu Yuan was surprised and looked at Xiao Zhan curiously.

Xiao Zhan did not speak.

Instead, he took out a simple box of the ring that he was wearing. When he opened the box, inside the box was a small piece of emerald green jade. There were many strange patterns on the jade piece. On its edge, there are cut marks, indicating that this piece of jade is a cut part of a whole.

At first, Gu Yuan was still curious as to what Xiao Zhan wanted to do with it, after years of absence, he suddenly saw this piece of ancient jade that belonged to the Xiao family again.

Xiao Zhan only felt that a mountain was suddenly pressing down on him, and at soul level, he was captured by an extremely terrifying force, causing his soul to instinctively tremble.

The gap is really too big!

Although Xiao Zhan entered the Dou King with half, Gu Yuan was a peak Dou Sheng!

The next moment, Gu Yuan took the initiative to hold back the pressure that he released.

The smile on his face disappeared, and he turned serious and indifferent, "This is the deal you plan to make with me? Do you know the value of this?"

Gu Yuan suddenly got angry for some reason.

It is clear that many elders in the ancient clan want to seize the Xiao family's jade, and even let Xun'er be adopted into the Xiao family this time. When Zhan took out this piece of jade in front of him and wanted to use it to make a deal with himself, Gu Yuan immediately gave birth not to joy, but to anger.

I feel useless for the friend who was besieged by the soul clan and died!

Xiao Zhan took a deep breath. He had already sensed Gu Yuan's power, but this was not the reason why he shut up. He raised his head, looked directly at Gu Yuan, and said: "The Ancient Emperor Tuo She's Jade, it is the last thing that the ancient Emperor Dou Di Tuo She left in the world, and it contains the secrets about Dou Di, and I naturally know its value." ".

"But I wonder if Patriarch Gu Yuan has ever heard a word?"

"Oh? What?" The trace of anger in Gu Yuan's heart disappeared, and he was suddenly ready to hear what the contemporary Xiao family patriarch wanted to say.

Xiao Zhan said in a loud voice: "Everyone is innocent, but it is the fault of embracing the jade!"

"This piece of jade is naturally a treasure for the powerful imperial family, but it is a source of disaster for the Xiao family who cannot protect that piece of jade."

"Furthermore, even if it really does contain Emperor Dou's secret, does Patriarch Gu Yuan really think that such a secret is useful to the Xiao family today?"

Gu Yuan suddenly stopped speaking.

The Xiao family, Xiao Zhan is the current strongest, he is nothing more than a Spirit Dou.

A family that doesn't even have a Dou Sheng, even if they know the secret of the Dou Emperor, what good is it? On the contrary, if you really know the secret of the Dou Emperor, the weak Xiao family will only attract the espionage of countless strong people, which will lead to unpredictable disasters.

"So what do you plan to do?"

Xiao Zhan: "I want to use this jade to exchange it for the opportunity to enter the heavenly tomb. I have some questions, I want to ask ancestor Xiao Xuan face to face!"
