Chapter 18 Guilt

"The ancestors have indeed passed down some things, is the patriarch of the ancient clan here for that piece of jade?" Xiao Zhan already knew Gu Yuan's true purpose, but on his face, he still pretended not to know, and asked Gu Yuan rhetorically.

Gu Yuan was not surprised at all that Xiao Zhan would ask such a rhetorical question, because if he was the patriarch of the Xiao clan, he would also think that he had come here this time to take away the piece of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade from the lonely Xiao clan.

In fact, if he hadn't stopped him, some old guys in the clan would have come to rob him if they didn't do it, and they wouldn't have reluctantly agreed to this roundabout strategy, letting Xun'er go undercover in the Xiao family and secretly explore Gu Yu's whereabouts.

Looking at Xiao Zhan, Gu Yuan shook his head lightly and said, "That piece of jade, after all, is your Xiao clan's thing, and my Gu clan has no intention of touching it." ”

"Then I don't know what happened to the Gu Yuan Patriarch here?" Xiao Zhan pretended to be puzzled, and asked Gu Yuan again.

Gu Yuan didn't respond to Xiao Zhan immediately, but looked at the little girl on the side with soft eyes, and called softly: "Xun'er, come here." ”

The little girl called Xun'er stood on the soles of her little feet and walked slowly to her father's side.

Gu Yuan stroked the little girl's hair and said, "Her name is Xun'er, she is my daughter, and I plan to let her stay in the Xiao clan for some time." ”

Xiao Zhan heard the meaning of Gu Yuan's words, glanced at the little girl Xun'er deeply, and asked Gu Yuan: "Please also ask the patriarch of Gu Yuan to forgive Xiao for taking the liberty, the Gu clan is an ancient emperor clan, and the strong are like clouds, and the little girl Xun'er is the daughter of the patriarch of Gu Yuan, and her status is noble...... Wouldn't it be safer to let her grow up by your side, why did you send it to my Xiao family......"

A hint of complexity flashed in Gu Yuan's eyes, and he said to Xiao Zhan: "When the family is big, it will inevitably give birth to some filth, the Gu clan is not as beautiful and peaceful as you imagined, I hope she can have a happy childhood than letting her grow up by my side." ”

"As for her safety, Patriarch Xiao can rest assured that she will be fine."

Xiao Zhan didn't say anything more.

As for the purpose of Gu Yuan's coming here this time, it was to foster Gu Xun'er in the Xiao family, and he had long known it.

But he didn't dare to agree with Gu Yuan's words in order to let Xun'er have a happy childhood.

Maybe the Xiao family has a lot less intrigues and dirty things than the huge ancient clan, and living in such an environment is indeed peaceful enough, but how can you talk about happiness in childhood without parents by your side?

After the thought flashed, Xiao Zhan said in a deep voice to Gu Yuan: "Since Patriarch Gu Yuan has said so, then she will stay in my Xiao family, you can rest assured, my Xiao Zhan's strength may not be worth mentioning to Patriarch Gu Yuan, but he will definitely swear to protect the safety of Miss Xun'er." ”

Gu Yuan shook his head and said, "You don't need Patriarch Xiao to be like this, just treat her as an ordinary little girl of the Xiao family." ”

As he spoke, a ring appeared in Gu Yuan's hand.

Gu Yuan threw the ring lightly, and the ring suddenly flew towards Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan caught the ring and looked at Gu Yuan puzzled.

Gu Yuan explained: "The things in it should be regarded as the reward for fostering Xun'er in the Xiao family, and I have already erased the soul mark on this ring." ”

"If that's the case, then Xiao Mou is not welcome!" Hearing Gu Yuan say this, Xiao Zhan did not shirk and happily accepted this ring.

This made Gu Yuan sigh a little.

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

Should I say that I deserve to be a friend?

After handling the matter of Xun'er's foster care in the Xiao family, Gu Yuan's purpose this time was basically completed, and he was about to say a few more words to his daughter and tell the other party.

After all, if we say goodbye this time, we will see each other again, I'm afraid it will be a few years later.

Even if he has lived for a thousand years, and a few years are like a snap of a finger for him, Xun'er is his daughter after all, and there is still a little bit of difference.

At this moment, Xiao Zhan suddenly spoke, attracting Gu Yuan's attention.

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

"Oh?"

Gu Yuan was surprised, and couldn't help but look at Xiao Zhan curiously.

Xiao Zhan didn't speak.

Instead, he took out a simple box from the ring he was wearing, opened the box, and inside the box, there was a small piece of emerald green jade, on which there were many strange lines, and on the edge, there were traces of cutting, indicating that this jade piece was a part of the whole cut down.

At the beginning, Gu Yuan was still curious about what deal Xiao Zhan wanted to make with him, after many years of absence, after suddenly seeing this piece of ancient jade belonging to the Xiao family again, his eyes couldn't help but condense slightly, and a breathing aura swept out of his body.

Xiao Zhan only felt that a mountain suddenly pressed on his body, and at the soul level, he was captured by the terrifying power, making his soul tremble from instinct.

The gap is too big!

Even though Xiao Zhan stepped into the Dou King with half a foot, Gu Yuan was a peak Dou Sheng!

In the next moment, Gu Yuan took the initiative to restrain the coercion he had released.

The smile on his face was gone, but he turned serious and a little indifferent, "This is the deal you plan to make with me?" Do you know the value of this thing? ”

I don't know why, Gu Yuan suddenly got a little angry.

Obviously, there are many elders in the ancient clan who want to seize this piece of jade from the Xiao family, and even let Xun'er foster it in the Xiao family this time, there is also a bit of the purpose of letting Xun'er explore the traces of this jade, but when Xiao Zhan took out this piece of jade in front of him and wanted to use it to make a deal with himself, Gu Yuan's first birth was not joy, but anger.

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

Xiao Zhan took a deep breath, Gu Yuan's strength, he had already felt it, but this was not what made him shut up, he raised his head and looked directly at Gu Yuan and said: "Jade is the jade of the ancient emperor of Doushe, it is the last emperor of the world, the ancient emperor of the Doushe, it contains the secret of the emperor, his value, I naturally know." ”

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

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

Xiao Zhan's voice was sonorous and powerful: "Pifu is not guilty, Huaibi is his crime!" ”

"This piece of jade, for the powerful imperial family, is naturally a treasure, but for the Xiao family, who are not capable of guarding that piece of jade, it is the source of disaster."

"Besides, even if it really contains the secret of the Dou Emperor, the Gu Yuan patriarch really thinks that the secret is useful to the Xiao family today?"

Gu Yuan suddenly stopped talking.

The Xiao family, Xiao Zhan, the strongest person at present, is only a fighting spirit.

A family that doesn't even have a Dou Sheng, even if they know the secret of the Dou Emperor, what's the use? On the contrary, if the secret of Emperor Dou is really known, the weak Xiao family will only attract the prying eyes of countless strong people and cause unjustified disasters.

"The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty! The Xiao family, it's the puppet ......" Gu Yuan whispered to himself in his heart, neither agreeing to Xiao Zhan's deal, nor refusing, and asked Xiao Zhan again, "What are you going to trade with me?" ”

Xiao Zhan said: "I want to use this jade in exchange for a chance to enter the Heavenly Tomb, there are some questions, I want to ask Xiao Xuan Ancestor face to face!" ”
