"That's right..."
"Different choices lead to different paths..."
"But since it is the path I chose, I will walk it even if I have to grit my teeth!"
Xiao Yan slowly raised his head to look at the sky and spoke softly.
Xiao Yi nodded, patted Xiao Yan's shoulder: "Don't worry, Little Yanzi..."
"Even if you do not enter Jia Nan Academy, with the guidance of Venerable Yao! Three years from now, Nalan Yanran definitely won't be your opponent..."
"Furthermore, for the three-year agreement, I will go up to the Cloud Mist Sect with you to seek justice for our Xiao Family!"
... After the usual talk with Xiao Yan ended, Xiao Yi did not return directly to his room to rest.
Instead, he came to the familiar back mountain of Wutan City to Cultivate day after day.
And Xiao Xuan finally appeared slowly.
"Little Fellow, bringing that Calamity Poison Body to your side seems to have displeased that Girl from the Gu Clan..."
Xiao Xuan said in a deep voice, then looked at Xiao Yi with a mischievous smile.
Xiao Yi sighed and said softly: "Ancestor, Xiao Yi Xian and I are just friends..."
"Please don't think about it that way..."
Xiao Xuan curled his lips into a mischievous smile: "Friends?"
"I don't think so..."
"I just warned you earlier that Gu Yuan's Girl was restricted by a secret technique, and you shouldn't force her..."
"In the blink of an eye, you've taken down another young Girl. How could I not know the little thoughts in your heart..."
"But you must be careful, boy, this Calamity Poison Body is also extremely dangerous..."
"Don't be shy, at your age, being full of vigor and thinking these things is normal..."
"Just remember to Cultivate well..."
After Xiao Xuan finished speaking, his expression when looking at Xiao Yi was full of teasing smiles.
Seeing this, Xiao Yi did not intend to explain, but just sighed helplessly... A moment later.
Xiao Xuan, who was originally paying attention to Xiao Yi's Cultivation Technique, suddenly spoke again: "Since you are here, why not show yourself..."
Hearing this, Xiao Yi suddenly scanned the surroundings.
"Ancestor, there is someone there..."
Xiao Xuan did not answer Xiao Yi, instead, the Qi around Xiao Xuan suddenly surged.
Instantly, an extremely powerful pressure swept over.
The next second, a black shadow flew out and appeared in front of Xiao Yi and Xiao Xuan.
Without a word, he cupped his hands respectfully and said:
"Junior Ling Ying..."
"I hope Senior will not blame me!"
Ling Ying?
Isn't this the Dou Huang bodyguard the Gu Clan arranged to be by Xun'er's side... "Ling Ying..."
"Has the Gu Clan reached the point where they only send one Dou Huang to protect their Young Miss..."
Xiao Xuan looked coldly at the extremely respectful Ling Ying and spoke in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Ling Ying's expression suddenly changed.
Who exactly was this Soul body in front of him, and why could he recognize his identity and the origin of his Young Miss with just one glance.
At the same time, this was the first time he had investigated Xiao Yi according to the Young Miss's instructions, and he had been easily discovered.
"May I know Senior's esteemed title..."
Although Ling Ying was quite shocked, he still gathered his courage and inquired softly.
His words were cautious, fearing that if he said anything wrong, the Soul body in front of him would suppress him with a lift of his hand.
Because just in that instant, Ling Ying could sense that the strength of this Soul body was immense!
Strong enough to exceed Ling Ying's imagination.
Xiao Xuan looked at Ling Ying again.
"It's not surprising that you don't recognize me. Although you are nominally a person of the Gu Clan, you don't possess a single trace of the Gu Clan's Bloodline..."
"Presumably, you are merely from an affiliated Family of the Gu Clan..."
"Since you don't recognize me, how dare you monitor me!"
"Such behavior, do you wish to die..."
Xiao Xuan's voice seemed to carry his majestic power, directly shaking Ling Ying, an eight-star Dou Huang Expert, until he knelt down!
At this moment, Ling Ying felt an extremely terrifying sense of oppression, and his entire body couldn't stop trembling.
He immediately said softly: "Senior, please don't be angry... I was only following orders..."
Hearing this, the pressure Xiao Xuan released did not weaken at all; instead, it intensified slightly.
"Following orders? Whose orders?"
"Gu Yuan's orders? If he wants my Xiao Clan's Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, he can come and take it himself. Why arrange for his daughter to monitor my Xiao Clan, and have you, a mere eight-star Dou Huang, act as a bodyguard!"
As soon as these words came out, Ling Ying was instantly stunned where he knelt.
This Soul body in front of him actually dared to call the Clan Leader of the Gu Clan by his name, while also calling himself the Xiao Clan, plus hearing Xiao Yi call him Ancestor... And coupled with this terrifying Soul Power!
Ling Ying immediately felt a sense of dread!
Could this Soul body in front of him be the Clan Chief of the Xiao Clan from a thousand years ago, the Half-step Dou Di, Xiao Xuan!
After all, there were very few people on the entire continent who dared to call the Clan Leader of the Gu Clan by his name like this.
Although Ling Ying had never met Xiao Xuan, as a person from an affiliated Family of the Gu Clan, he had heard bits and pieces about the events concerning Xiao Xuan that had once resonated throughout the entire continent.
"Lord Xiao Xuan..."
Ling Ying felt the oppression covering his body growing stronger and stronger, even having a faint feeling of suffocation, so he shouted out with all his might.
However, it was useless. Xiao Xuan's expression was calm, and he did not stop there.
It was only when Xiao Yi noticed that Ling Ying's face had turned somewhat pale, as if he were truly about to die.
Xiao Yi then spoke: "Ancestor, given Ling Ying's strength, he is probably just from an affiliated Family of the Gu Clan, and someone of this status is only destined to run errands..."
"Therefore, this matter is likely truly unrelated to him; he was merely following orders..."
"I hope Ancestor will show mercy..."
Hearing this, Xiao Xuan relaxed and slowly withdrew the suppression on Ling Ying's body.
The moment the pressure was removed, Ling Ying's body, that of an eight-star Dou Huang Expert, instantly fell to the ground, unable to recover for a long time.
Xiao Xuan merely glanced at him indifferently, and then his deep voice rang out again: "The matter of my Soul body awakening, I hope you keep it to yourself and never mention it to anyone, including Gu Yuan!"
"As for the Xiao Clan's Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, the Gu Clan should stop thinking about it for now, unless one day, Gu Yuan is willing to come and take it himself..."
"And one last thing! If you dare to monitor me again in the future!"
"The consequence is death!"
Hearing this, Ling Ying struggled to get up: "I will remember this firmly..."
"I certainly dare not offend again... Thank you, Your Excellency, for sparing my life..."
After Ling Ying finished speaking, he circulated the Dou Qi within his body, turned into a black bolt of lightning, and quickly fled the scene.
Seeing Ling Ying leave, Xiao Yi then said softly:
"Ancestor, this is the first time I've seen you so angry..."
Xiao Xuan glanced at Xiao Yi and said softly:
"A true man standing between heaven and earth should act openly and honorably!"
"Acting in such a sneaky manner, isn't that the same style as the Hun Clan!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yi instantly understood the reason for Xiao Xuan's anger.
Because Ling Ying's monitoring behavior just now was too despicable in Xiao Xuan's eyes, and coupled with his dark attribute Dou Qi, it reminded Xiao Xuan of the Hun Clan, so it was no wonder Xiao Xuan was so angry.
From this, it was clear that the Hun Clan truly was Xiao Xuan's untouchable reverse scale...
