Jia Ma Empire.
Wutan City.
Xiao family.
At this moment, the sky is dark.
Every house has lit up lights.
Talking around the table and eating.
Even the Gallie family and the Oba family have the same schedule as a normal family at this time. At most, the food on the table is a little richer and the content of the conversation is different.
The same is true for the Xiao family.
The current time is around half past seven.
Those who ate earlier had already finished their meal, and those who ate later had just sat down. A quiet and peaceful atmosphere filled every corner of Wutan City.
This situation was similar to the atmosphere in other cities in the Jia Ma Empire at this moment. No one thought there was anything wrong with this, including the frowning Xiao Xun'er, who didn't take the previous whim to heart.
The relationship between Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Yan has broken down.
Among the younger generation of the Xiao family, news spread quickly.
Some people may think that "Xiao Yan can only share adversity, but not wealth and wealth." However, except for Xiao Ning and other young people with brain problems who agree with this theory, a group of girls headed by Xiao Mei have feelings for Xiao Xun'er. Resistant attitude, thinking that Xiao Xun'er did something wrong, which made Xiao Yan take the initiative to sever the friendship.
Maybe it's love.
However, no one can tell what the specific feelings are.
Of course, Xiao Mei also has her own goals.
No one's thoughts are absolutely single-minded. The reason why the stories in fairy tales are unrealistic is because only in fairy tales, stories dare to be written like this. Therefore, Xiao Mei actually has the idea of stepping on the ground and flattering others. He wanted to gain Xiao Yan's recognition by suppressing and ostracizing Xiao Xun'er, and weaken the unfamiliar relationship with Xiao Yan in the past three years.
However, these were all analyzed by Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan himself doesn't know whether Xiao Mei thinks so, but Xiao Yan who has experienced "Xiao Xun'er's betrayal" is more mature than Xiao Yan in the original work. Although he still doesn't believe Xiao Mei, he still doesn't believe her. There was no hostility or cold words to mock Xiao Mei.
No matter what, Xiao Mei didn't hurt him.
Besides, it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
Xiao Mei was a child and incompetent, so it was normal to stay away from him. This was completely different from what Xiao Xun'er did.
Therefore, even if Xiao Mei doesn't step on Xiao Xun'er, her status in Xiao Yan's heart is actually stronger than Xiao Xun'er, but Xiao Mei herself doesn't know it.
As for Xiao Ning and others...
joke!
Does Xiao Yan have a hobby of having a warm face but a cold butt?
If you are willing to come and establish a relationship with me, take the initiative to come over.
If you don't want to get closer to me, I'm not begging you.
In the past three years, although part of the glare he suffered was because he blocked the bullet for Xiao Xun'er. After all, most teenagers would not use any high-end methods to bully girls to gain attention when facing girls they like. On the contrary, It was the most common, but no matter what, Xiao Ning and the others still gave him the most blank looks.
Xiao Mei would just avoid him at most.
Xiao Ning was purely looking for trouble.
Xiao Yan once remembered a saying that impressed him deeply: How to repay kindness with kindness?
It's good that he didn't find fault with Xiao Ning.
Take the initiative to repair the relationship with Xiao Ning?
Is he mentally ill?
Of course, the thing that disgusted Xiao Yan the most was actually Xiao Xun'er. Although Xiao Xun'er kept explaining and even put part of the responsibility on Lu Yuan, saying that he had to say that because he was "compromising". However, the two Xiao Yan, a human being, could see through Xiao Xun'er's thoughts at a glance - to obtain the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade left behind by Emperor Dou!
To be honest, Xiao Yan knew very well that leaving this thing in the hands of the Xiao family would be harmful rather than beneficial.
Moreover, even if the Xiao family could save the jade, they didn't know how to use it.
Otherwise, he couldn't give it to Lu Yuan so neatly. After all, what Lu Yuan said before was "borrowing" the Zuo Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade. There is still a very obvious difference between giving and borrowing.
However, he would rather give it to Lu Yuan than take advantage of Xiao Xun'er. He would rather smash this piece of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade than let Xiao Xun'er know the whereabouts of this piece of jade!
No one likes a traitor!
This is what happens to people who are betrayed by traitors.
The same is true for those who recruit traitors.
Xiao Xun'er did not betray the Xiao family.
Because she came here with a purpose.
There is no question of betrayal or not, it can only be regarded as a "hidden stake".
However, during these three years of being neglected, Xiao Yan thought that he had become friends with Xiao Xun'er. He was moved by the friendship between them, and even had a slight heartbeat, and this feeling became more and more... It was profound. The more convinced he was, the more heartbroken he felt when he was betrayed by Xiao Xun'er!
It’s already good that Xiao Yan doesn’t suffer from suspicion!
Accept Xiao Xun'er again?
Give me a break.
Prime Minister Cao didn't have such a big ambition.
After all, Prime Minister Cao still played the trick of "killing people in lonely dreams" from time to time. Xiao Yan did not imitate it. It can only be said that the modern outlook on life saved Xiao Yan and guarded the last line of psychological defense for Xiao Yan.
Under such circumstances, it would be even more impossible for Xiao Yan to reveal the whereabouts of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade to Xiao Xun'er.
Especially Xiao Yan is still a modern soul. Even if Xiao Xun'er matures precociously, her ideological maturity has certain limits. If Gu Yuan, an old fox who has lived for thousands of years, deceives Xiao Yan, maybe he can still do it. Things, but letting Xiao Xun'er deceive Xiao Yan would only lead to nothing.
As for Xiao Zhan, I don’t even know.
After experiencing the "betrayal", Xiao Yan almost displayed the IQ that a normal modern person should have, and raised his vigilance to the maximum extent. When he asked Xiao Zhan for the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, he did not say anything What exactly do you plan to do with this Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, and the whereabouts of this Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade are kept secret in every sense of the word.
As for why Xiao Zhan was so vigilant, Xiao Yan gave it to him without even thinking about what he asked for...
My son asked me for a jade pendant that had no special meaning or value. Considering the size of the Xiao family, Xiao Zhan naturally didn't think much about it.
This is like a billionaire's son suddenly asking his father for an ordinary mobility scooter. As long as the bottom line of deliberate waste is not touched, any billionaire can make a decision without thinking.
Because in their eyes, this scooter has similar properties to a toy, so in Xiao Zhan's eyes, this jade pendant has similar properties to a toy.
As for the jade pendant passed down from Xiao family’s ancestors?
Is there anything wrong with me passing it on to my son?
Besides, Xiao Yan's two brothers are both leaders of mercenary groups outside. Xiao Yan is very talented. He is also on the line with Nalan Yanran's senior brother, and he has hired another one who started out as a four-year-old. The alchemist of Pinpin is the master. Due to emotion and reason, the position of the Xiao family patriarch should also be passed on to Xiao Yan.
However, Xiao Yan did not tell Xiao Zhan about his troubles.
The level of this matter is too high.
In the huge Jia Ma Empire, masters at the Dou Huang level can run rampant and even make the royal family of the Jia Ma Empire give three points of courtesy...
Lion-Hearted Marshal Nalan Jie, Nalan Yanran’s grandfather, as the general of the Jiama Empire, only has the level of fighting king...
The behemoth Yunlan Sect only has one or two Dou Huangs, plus more than a dozen Dou Wang level elders...
Starting out as a Dou Sage, with Dou Huang as his servant, there are even more than one Dou Sage in the clan, living in the opened space, one of the eight ancient tribes in Central Continent with all the above characteristics, this "behemoth" Words seem not enough to describe it!
Xiao Yan was also a hindsight.
However, these were all told to him by Yao Lao.
Lu Yuan had no intention of educating Xiao Yan about this common sense.
However, it is precisely because of this that Xiao Yan heard from part of Yao Lao's self-introduction how huge the eight ancient clans were: with Yao Lao Douzun's cultivation and his identity as a ninth-grade alchemist, even his parents' The tablets cannot be placed in the mourning hall of the Yao Clan, one of the eight ancient clans, and they cannot enjoy the sacrifices of the Yao Clan throughout the ages...
Simply outrageous!
Therefore, in order to prevent Xiao Zhan from being frightened, Xiao Yan did not explain to Xiao Zhan, but used his identity to let Xiao Zhan give the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade to him without any reason. , and then gave it to Lu Yuan for Lu Yuan to handle.
As for the so-called "Xiao Zhan's request", which is to ask Lu Yuan to lend this piece of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade to Xiao Yan when Xiao Yan needs it, it is actually just an illusion made by Xiao Yan himself...
This is considered to have deceived Lu Yuan once...
But it’s not all a lie…
It's like saying I have a "friend".
Xiao Yan didn't know whether Lu Yuan saw it or not.
However, he thought he had no bad intentions.
Just be sincere and realize it!
Therefore, even though Xiao Xun'er tried his best and even asked Xiao Zhan, saying "Uncle Xiao", Xiao Zhan, who didn't know anything, could only blame all the factors on Xiao Yan with a confused look on his face. , Xiao Xun'er had to face Xiao Yan again.
"Miss, how about hiring two people?"
In Xiao Xun'er's room.
In a shadow, Ling Ying asked for instructions in a low voice.
Xiao Xun'er clutched Kuai Zi with a calm expression.
It was impossible to tell what was on her mind.
Hearing Ling Ying's suggestion, his eyes flickered slightly.
After a pause, he asked coldly: "Mr. Ling, don't say this again. Besides, you also know the character of brother Xiao Yan. Apart from being prone to being emotional, even if you kill him, he will not reveal it. If you publish even half a word about the whereabouts of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, then it will be completely impossible to find out the whereabouts of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, do you understand?"
Ling Ying quickly bowed: "Thank you, Miss, for your advice."
"Back off..."
Xiao Xun'er nodded slightly.
He didn't even look at Ling Ying.
However, even though she said that, she only had other reasons.
First of all, if she uses this method, let’s not talk about whether the entire plan can be successful, but just talk about her reputation. It will undoubtedly admit her own incompetence and the failure of this operation!
Gu Yuan does have family ties.
The stronger the cultivation level, the more difficult it is to reproduce.
After all, the process of human reproduction requires the cooperation of both parents. If one party cannot even carry the simplest load, it will undoubtedly be impossible to give birth to a new life on paper.
This is also why from the moment they are born, the children of many strong men have the appearance of dragons and phoenixes coming from the east, or even purple energy coming from the east, because any cell in the body of a strong man is powerful enough, and a drop of blood can crush it. Mountains and rivers, babies born from essence and blood, even if they are essentially strong, it is natural for them to be strong.
Therefore, Gu Yuan did retain a large part of his family affection for Gu Xun'er, otherwise he would not be able to put his daughter in the Xiao family. Although part of the reason was to obtain the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, part of it was also The reason is to give Gu Xun'er a good childhood.
Don't doubt the cognition and IQ of the strong.
Gu Yuan is still clear about the difference between "childhood heals a lifetime" and "a lifetime heals childhood."
However, above family affection, there is responsibility!
At first glance, it’s incredible.
However, the reality is so cruel.
If Gu Yuan was forced to choose one between Gu Xun'er and the entire ancient clan, he would choose the ancient clan even if he was reluctant to give up.
Just like those members of the Soul Clan who voluntarily offered blood sacrifices to the Soul Emperor.
The concept that only clans have families is deeply engraved in their hearts. Although Lu Yuan hated this statement, he had to admit that in a sense, this concept was indeed correct.
Just like "a country has a home."
As a bystander, Lu Yuan felt that he had no right to speak.
He is not qualified to comment on the right or wrong of this approach.
Therefore, if Xiao Xun'er chooses this method, even if it succeeds without paying any price, it will be a heavy psychological blow to the arrogant Xiao Xun'er.
Perhaps Gu Yuan will choose for Gu Xun'er.
Anyone would choose for Gu Xun'er.
But Gu Xun'er himself would never choose.
Because humans are all creatures that “seek advantages and avoid disadvantages”!
Besides, if she finds a Douzong who is not from the ancient clan, because no one below the Douzong has the ability to control souls, who knows if this Douzong will report one after reading Xiao Yan's memory. False news?
In this world, only interests are eternal!
A piece of jade pendant that contains the inheritance of Dou Emperor, although it is only one-eighth of it, and it is also the key to unlocking the inheritance. It does not record any inheritance, but it is enough for some Douzong to risk their lives to hide it secretly, and then take this piece of jade pendant. The ancient emperor jade of Mei Tuo She has escaped secretly!
At that point, things will only get more complicated.
Although there is another solution, which is to let the Douzong from the ancient tribe extract Xiao Yan's memory, no one knows what contract was signed between Xiao Xuan and Gu Yuan back then. As long as Gu Yuan does not agree, currently The ancient tribe would not dare to do such a thing.
What if Gu Yuan’s cultivation is ruined again because of this...
Don't say you just got one-eighth of the key...
Even if you get all the keys, even if you open the cave of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, and find out the secret of how to become the Dou Emperor, you are just making a wedding dress for the Nine-Star Dou Sage, the Soul Emperor!
The ancient clan that has lost Gu Yuan has no qualifications to compete with the soul clan that still has the Soul Emperor. Potential is just potential. Before it is realized, everything is vain!
For various reasons.
The current situation is very embarrassing.
Gu Xun'er didn't dare to touch Xiao Yan.
She could torture Xiao Yan, but she didn't dare to kill him.
And Xiao Yan is a tough guy, and there is Lu Yuan outside.
No one knows when Lu Yuan will come back.
Xiao Zhan didn't know.
Xiao Yan did everything perfectly.
And her identity was revealed by Lu Yuan, and the falsehood she had made back then was also suspected and confirmed by Xiao Yan based on Lu Yuan's remarks revealing her identity, which in turn caused her to lose Xiao Yan's trust.
I can't eat the soft ones, and I won't eat the hard ones.
What can she do?
She is also very distressed!
As for that, if it really doesn't work, you can ask Xiao Ning and see if you can ask indirectly...
Are you kidding me?
Xiao Ning knows as much as Xiao Zhan?
Is the relationship between Xiao Ning and Xiao Yan as good as the father-son relationship between Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhan?
Xiao Ning really likes her...
But he is just a useless licking dog!
Thinking of this, Xiao Xun'er let out a long sigh.
Looking at the sumptuous food on the table, I lost my appetite.
but……
at this time……
Ling Ying's figure quickly emerged!
Moreover, he stood in front of her instantly!
Xiao Xun'er frowned slightly.
But before she could speak, a burst of harsh evil laughter suddenly sounded: "Jie Jie Jie, I didn't expect that there was only one guard beside the dignified young lady of the ancient clan, and this guard was actually a Dou Huang. This envoy was really surprised. I laughed so hard, Jie Jie Jie~"
This is the laughter often used by people in the Soul Palace.
It has a fairly obvious identification function.
Harsh, weird, and sinister.
Of course, this is in the eyes of everyone in the Xiao family.
In the eyes of Gu Xun'er, Ling Ying, Yao Chen, Xiao Yan and Lu Yuan who was not far away, this kind of laughter was no different from the sound of a whistle. It was just a sign and would not create any psychological shadow.
only……
"The person who still smiles like that..."
Lu Yuan touched his chin: "The original writing is very realistic."
Yaochen silently clenched his fists.
Squinting his eyes, he glanced at the dark shadow in the dark night.
After a moment of silence, he still didn't take action.
But Xiao Yan is a person who can't sit still.
He asked in a low voice: "Old man, who is this?"
"so rude!"
Yao Chen was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at the "old man".
Of course, his title was not very polite: "This guy is from the Soul Palace. He is just a little guy. Above the Soul Palace is the Soul Clan, one of the eight ancient clans. Brat, please remember this time." , I’ve obviously said it once before when I told you about the ancient tribe!”
Xiao Yan smiled.
He scratched his face and suddenly asked: "Old man, by the way, if we are talking here, can't the Douzong of the Soul Palace hear us?"
Don't ask how Xiao Yan knew the word "Dou Zong".
Yao Chen mentioned it when he introduced the ancient clan.
Especially since Lu Yuan grabbed Xiao Xun'er and Ling Ying from space in front of Xiao Yan two days ago, Yao Chen couldn't resist Xiao Yan's wave of questions even if he didn't want to explain Douzong's abilities.
The relationship between the two has eased in the past two days of questions and answers.
As for the issue of title...
Who doesn’t have a nickname these days?
Besides, Xiao Yan is a character who "does not judge a hero by success or failure."
He only acts according to his heart.
Although he will also look at the results, as long as he has his mind set, he can do whatever he wants, including how Yaochen calls him.
Therefore, if I have to say it, the relationship between Yao Chen and Xiao Yan at this moment is that of master and disciple, but also like a pair of old friends. Although it is rude to shout, it also avoids those useless politeness and brings the two together in disguise. distance between people.
Hearing Xiao Yan's idiotic question, Yao Chen rolled his eyes helplessly: "Nonsense, I have isolated this place with my soul power. Not only that Dou Zong can't hear it, even if a Dou Zong comes, do you believe it?" Don’t you believe they still can’t sense the traces of you and me?”
"Is this the soul power of heaven?"
"Can you make a Dou Zong unable to sense?"
Xiao Yan looked shocked.
During these two days, in order to avoid the age and cognitive generation gap, Yao Chen tried his best to teach Xiao Yan his basic knowledge, including the four realms of alchemist soul power.
During his lifetime, Yao Chen was a ninth-grade alchemist.
Of course, it's not the real ninth grade.
To be precise, Yao Chen is at the peak of the eighth level, but he can also make ninth level elixirs by chance, so he is called the Yao Zun.
Said that Yaochen is an eighth-grade alchemist...
No moisture at all.
Said that Yao Chen is a ninth-grade alchemist...
It's still the state of half a bottle of water.
However, since Yao Chen can refine ninth-grade elixirs, even if it is just a coincidence, it is enough to prove that Yao Chen's soul realm has reached the heaven realm. Although it is a little weaker now, the nature of the soul power of the heaven realm is quite high. , based on the full support of Xiao Yan from the Xiao family, Yaochen today recovers much faster than Yaochen in the original work.
If you can't take big medicine, you can take small medicine.
Little things add up, and the soul power gradually recovers a little.
About……
I guess one hundred thousandth has been restored...
It’s better than nothing anyway!
In response to Xiao Yan's emotion, Yao Chen just hummed in a moderate tone, and did not express his attitude. He just reminded him calmly:
"That little girl is going to be in trouble this time!"
"You have two choices before you, kid..."
"Save, or not?"
"You brat, you better think about it!"
After hearing this, Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly.
After a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice: "No help!"
Yao Chen was silent in response to this answer.
After thinking for a while, he still asked: "You are so cold-blooded, aren't you afraid that I will hold back when I teach you in the future?"
"Old man, this is your short-sightedness."
Xiao Yan laughed softly.
Then, he asked calmly: "Do you really think Brother Lu didn't guard against them? Do you think Brother Lu took the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade just to study the secrets of Emperor Dou?"
】
Yao Chen raised his eyebrows slightly: "You mean..."
"Um!"
"Yao Lao, watch carefully!"
"As a...well, I have my own hunch!"
"This will be an earth-shattering chess game!"
"We are the ones playing chess against the world!"
Xiao Yan's tone was full of pride and pride.
Seeing this, Yaochen not only became a little curious.
However, everyone has a little secret in their heart.
Restraining curiosity is one of the advantages of Yaochen.
And in the few minutes that Xiao Yan and Yao Chen were talking about this matter, high in the sky and under the night, a black fighting skill collided with another black fighting skill, and colors that were deeper than the night spread. It opened up, carrying powerful pressure and unparalleled residual power, and slowly spread towards the surroundings.
"Foreign Dou Huang, you did your best!"
A gloomy voice sounded.
The two streams of light collided again.
But this time, one of the streams of light was knocked back.
"A foreigner is a foreigner after all!"
"Your skills are at least the same level as mine. So, don't say that my realm is above yours. Even if we are in the same realm, the quality of my fighting spirit is higher than yours!"
"Seeing that you are a talented person, please surrender!"
"Who is selling your life to but not selling?"
"You'll get more if we do!"
With that said, the black-robed Soul Palace messenger slapped Ling Ying away, and just raised his hand to grab the pale Gu Xun'er.
