Chapter 14 A Night Talk with Xun'er
That evening, guests arrived in Xiao Chen's courtyard.
Today, Xun'er wore a tasteful light green outfit.
The light colors made the girl look even more innocent.
A pair of tight-fitting trousers hugged her slender and long legs, making them appear extremely rounded and revealing their curves.
Xiao Chen glanced at her once and then looked away.
He then let out a helpless sigh.
"Xun'er greets Senior."
"You've finally come. I've been waiting for you." Xiao Chen's voice echoed slowly in the courtyard.
"Is my senior waiting for me?"
As her slender fingers brushed against the strands of hair that were ruffled by the night breeze, a subtle tension rose in Gu Xun'er's heart.
Xiao Chen's appearance was too abrupt; the ancient clans were completely unaware of his existence.
"Ancient clan, Gu Yuan's daughter?"
"His talent is quite good."
Xiao Chen smiled faintly.
Gu Xun'er's expression changed slightly; not many people knew her father's name.
"I left the Xiao clan when I was very young, so I don't know much about what happened a thousand years ago. Could you tell me about it?"
Gu Xun'er remained silent for a moment, then gently shook her head.
"I don't know much about what happened back then, but since you've returned to the Xiao clan, I'm sure you'll be able to find out the truth."
Xiao Chen sighed softly.
That's true; these younger generations are indeed unlikely to understand such things.
"What brings you here?"
The young woman raised her delicate chin, and her light, melodious voice slowly rang out: "Since you are a member of the Xiao family from 30,000 years ago, where have you been during these 30,000 years?"
"Are you curious?" Xiao Chen looked at Gu Xun'er and smiled gently.
"Yes."
"Where I have been for the past 30,000 years, I will tell your father myself in the future." Xiao Chen did not intend to answer her question.
"In the future?"
"Senior Xiao Chen, don't you plan to see my father?"
Xiao Chen said calmly, "He should be the one coming to see me, not the other way around."
Gu Xun'er was startled.
This was the first time she had ever seen anyone dare to speak of her father like that.
You should know that my father is a dignified nine-star Dou Sheng, one of the top three strongest people in the Dou Qi Continent.
"And even if he wanted to see me now, I wouldn't let him. After 30,000 years of toil, I want some peace and quiet, do you understand?"
The girl blinked her long eyelashes gently and fell silent.
Although Xiao Chen didn't say it explicitly, she could sense it.
This patriarch of the Xiao family seems to have some issues with their ancient clan.
She had been observing this patriarch of the Xiao family for more than half a month and believed that she had a general understanding of his temperament before daring to come in person.
Unexpectedly, the patriarch of the Xiao family had such an attitude towards the ancient clan.
Then myself...
Xiao Chen remained calm, having no other thoughts about Gu Xun'er at the moment.
Putting everything else aside, the fact that Xiao Yan had already done that to her was enough to make Xiao Chen completely lose interest in Gu Xun'er.
Just as the two remained silent, Xiao Chen suddenly laughed and said, "Little guy, trying to hide from me? You're overestimating your Dou Huang cultivation level, aren't you?"
"Aren't you going to show yourself?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Xun'er naturally knew who Xiao Chen was talking about.
However, given Xiao Chen's strength, it wasn't surprising that he was able to discover Elder Ling.
The next instant, a dark patch in the courtyard slowly extended out, then converged and began to writhe rapidly...
Finally, the shadow gradually coalesced into the figure of an old man.
"Senior." Upon appearing, Ling Ying immediately bowed respectfully to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen nodded, giving the old man in front of him a strange look.
So this is Ling Ying?
His face was dark, he was draped in a black robe, and he was hidden in the shadows...
"Ling Ying, a Seven-Star Dou Huang, whose attribute cultivation technique leans towards the dark element..."
"The Thousand Shadows Bind and the Demonic Serpent Devour, those two moves are quite interesting."
As Xiao Chen slowly spoke, Ling Ying and Gu Xun'er both looked astonished and shocked.
Can you really know so much information just by looking at it?
What a profound realm this is!
Gu Xun'er knew that even her father, Gu Yuan, couldn't do this...
Ignoring their shock, Xiao Chen stared at Ling Ying for a while, then nodded and said, "You're very good."
Am I great?
Ling Ying was stunned.
With a smile, Xiao Chen took two steps forward.
Ling Ying couldn't help but take two steps back.
However, he immediately forced himself to stay still.
Xiao Chen continued walking and came to Ling Ying, then raised his right hand.
At this moment, both Gu Xun'er and Ling Ying were extremely nervous.
Ling Ying's Adam's apple bobbed, and she couldn't help but swallow.
The next second, Xiao Chen's right hand landed on Ling Ying's shoulder and patted it gently.
"Are you interested in following me from now on?"
Upon hearing this, both Ling Ying and Gu Xun'er were stunned.
What is this?
Are you trying to poach our employees?
Are they competing with ancient tribes for people?
Moreover, it was a blatant robbery right in front of the daughter of the ancient clan chief?
"Senior Xiao Chen, this junior..." Ling Ying smiled bitterly.
Xiao Chen raised his hand again and patted Ling Ying's shoulder, smiling as he said, "The moment I saw you, I felt that we were destined to be together."
"If you stay with the ancient clan, you might only ever be a Dou Huang for your entire life."
"But if you follow me, I guarantee you'll break through to the Dou Zun or even Dou Sheng level. How about it?"
Upon hearing Xiao Chen's words, Ling Ying felt her heart begin to pound uncontrollably.
In his lifetime, he will find it very difficult to even reach the Dou Zong level.
But this Senior Xiao Chen actually promised him to step into the Dou Zun or even Dou Sheng realm!
real or fake?
Can this be believed?
Even Gu Xun'er's red lips parted slightly, as if she couldn't believe her ears.
How could Elder Ling break through to the Dou Zun or even Dou Sheng level?
Even the ancient clans couldn't accomplish this, yet this Senior Xiao Chen spoke of it so casually?
Having disappeared for 30,000 years, what level of cultivation did this Xiao family patriarch reach?
Could it be a Dou Di?
Seeing the two of them acting this way, Xiao Chen suddenly turned around, a smile playing on his lips.
"Fine, I won't force you to make a decision right away. You can observe carefully during this time and see if what I'm promising is true or false."
He turned around, his expression returning to calm: "You've all seen how much the Xiao family's strength has increased in just half a month. There's no need to doubt my abilities, is there?"
Gu Xun'er and Ling Ying exchanged a glance, both unsure of what to say.
They had naturally noticed the Xiao family's improvement during this period.
This patriarch of the Xiao family is indeed incredibly powerful.
"Alright, let's leave it at that. Since you're here, I'll ask you to pass on a message." Xiao Chen looked at Ling Ying.
Ling Ying quickly cupped her hands and said, "Please speak, senior."
Xiao Chen smiled mysteriously and took out an ancient jade.
It was an ancient jade piece that emitted a strange, radiant glow.
Under the moonlight, the strange patterns on the surface of the ancient jade seemed to be brightening and dimming as if breathing.
Gu Xun'er and Ling Ying's gazes fell upon it, and their expressions instantly froze.
"This...this, this is the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade?!"
