Zhongzhou, Tianjilou headquarters.

After Xiao Yan saw Xiao Yu and Xiao Mei, he returned to the room with Yaochen.

At this time, Xiao Yan looked at Yaochen and said, "Teacher, when I heard that Sister Yafei went to Tianwaitian to host the guest reception, there was obvious surprise in your old man's eyes.

However, because Sister Yafei was here at the time, you didn't want to say it, and I didn't ask.

Can it be said now? ”

Hearing this, Yaochen secretly said in his heart: "What a smart little guy, he actually found out at that time." ”

Then, Yaochen nodded and said, "Yes, Master Wei was really surprised just now, do you know who usually does this kind of thing when it comes to receiving guests?" ”

"Who's going to do it? Isn't that anyone? As long as you can receive the guests who come to participate in the Heavenly Tomb Trial, what difference does it make? Xiao Yan was a little puzzled.

"Also, forget that you kid grew up in Utan City.

Xiao Yanzi, you don't know, the imperial family reception is different from the general sect reception.

As you said, no matter who comes to receive reception activities outside the imperial family, as long as you have the ability.

However, this is not the case with the reception between the imperial family, and the person who presides over the reception must be a member of the imperial family.

And although Concubine Ya is a high-level member of Tianji Tower, she also has the trust of Xiao Qing, the patriarch of the Xiao clan, but no matter what, she can never be counted as a member of the Xiao clan. ”

When Yaochen said this, he looked at Xiao Yan's face with a very confused expression, so after taking a sip of tea, he continued: "Okay, continue to explain for the teacher."

For such a grand event as the Heavenly Tomb Trial, especially if there are other powerhouses of the Imperial Clan who will be present, generally speaking, the work of presiding over the reception of guests must be presided over by the elders of the Xiao clan, the Taishang Elder, or the wife of the patriarch of the Xiao clan himself.

This is not only a courtesy, but also the status of the person who presides over it.

And although Concubine Ya is a high-rise girl in Tianji Tower, this Heavenly Tomb trial was issued from the position of the Xiao family, so no matter what, the work of hosting and receiving guests will not fall on her head.

Unless, Concubine Ya will completely become a member of the Xiao clan next, or she will occupy a very important position in the Xiao clan.

However, Xiao Yanzi, you should know that Lord Xiao Qing has a wife, even if other elders or Supreme Elders don't have time, she should have time to do the work of receiving guests, right? Why should Concubine Ya, who is not a member of the Xiao clan, be responsible alone?

Could it be that the high-level of the Xiao clan couldn't think of it?

Of course this is impossible, this is the default unspoken rule of all emperors, and it has never changed for thousands of years.

Then, the only explanation, that is, between the Xiao clan and the Gu clan, I am afraid that there is a problem, and even, the wife of the patriarch of the Xiao clan may have to be abolished. ”

When the words fell, a trace of disbelief flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes.

"Impossible, teacher, don't you know, Patriarch Xiao Qing and his wife have a good relationship." Xiao Yan hurriedly shook his head and said.

Who in the entire Xiao clan doesn't know that between Xiao Qing and Gu Yue, there is a Qin Se and Ming, and they are very affectionate, how can it be abolished?

Unless Xiao Qing, the patriarch, can't be done, otherwise, it is basically impossible to abolish Gu Yue.

However, Xiao Qing's position is very stable, because his own strength is strong, and he has the ability to deal with large and small things in the clan as early as when he was still the young patriarch of the Xiao clan.

Therefore, even if the analysis of Yaochen was reasonable, Xiao Yan still didn't want to believe it.

However, Yaochen didn't care if Xiao Yan believed it, nor did he care if Gu Yue would really be abolished as he thought, none of this had anything to do with him.

What he is worried about now is Xiao Yan's safety.

If he didn't know that Xiao Yan had promised Gu Yuan and would help the Gu clan seize the Gu Emperor's inheritance first, Yaochen really wouldn't have anything to worry about.

After all, this Heavenly Tomb Trial was held in the Xiao Clan's Heavenly Outer Heaven, and the Heavenly Tomb was also completely controlled by the Xiao Clan.

However, Yao Chen always had a bad feeling in his heart, especially after analyzing that the Xiao Clan was likely to use this Heavenly Tomb Trial to deal with the Gu Clan, he became more and more worried.

"Xiao Yanzi, I am suddenly very worried about you in my heart." Yaochen sighed.

"Huh? Teacher, what are you worried about me doing? This Heavenly Tomb Trial is in the base camp of the Xiao Clan, there are so many strong people in the Xiao Clan, and there are Tiance Ancestors here, are you still worried that someone will dare to kill me? Xiao Yan looked puzzled and said in confusion.

"That was before, if you didn't promise the Gu clan to help them seize the inheritance of the ancient emperor, the teacher naturally wouldn't worry about your safety.

However, Xiao Yanzi, have you thought about it, why did the Xiao clan hold the Heavenly Tomb Trial at this time?

Not to mention, the Gu clan was the first to know the news.

Come to think of it, is there really nothing wrong with that? Yaochen said with a solemn face.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan's brows furrowed slightly, and worries also appeared in his heart, and then he said with some uncertainty: "Teacher, could it be that you are too worried?" Not to mention that when I reached an agreement with Xun'er and her father, there could be no one around, so there was no risk of leakage.

Again, I just want to ensure that the inheritance of the ancient emperor will not fall into the hands of others, as for the ancient clan, if they really have the ability to obtain the recognition of the inheritance of the ancient emperor, then I will admit it.

If they can't, I still want to fight for the inheritance of the ancient emperor.

In addition, although I don't know how Xun'er and her father knew in advance that the Xiao clan was going to hold the Heavenly Tomb Trial, I think it should be someone from the Xiao clan who passed the message."

As he spoke, Xiao Yan also felt that something was wrong, and soon, his face was gloomy and he said, "Teacher, could it be that this Heavenly Tomb Trial is a conspiracy specifically targeting the Gu Clan?" ”

At this time, Yaochen saw that he had reacted, so he nodded and sighed: "I don't rule out this possibility."

Xiao Yan, do you understand what Doudi means? ”

"Of course, if you become a Dou Emperor, you can make your race become an Emperor Clan, otherwise the Gu Clan would not attach so much importance to it." Xiao Yan nodded.

"So, you all understand the truth, will the Xiao clan understand?

According to the normal way of thinking, even if no one in the Xiao clan can be recognized for the time being, the ancient emperor inheritance will not be taken out and given to others.

However, not long after Tiance's predecessors had just been promoted to the powerhouse of the Dou Emperor, not long after returning to the Outer Heavens, the Xiao clan held this Heavenly Tomb Trial.

Heh, Xiao Yanzi, don't tell the teacher, you really haven't thought about this problem before, right?

If that's the case, then you kid have to let the teacher check your head, otherwise if you continue like this, you won't know how you died. A trace of anger flashed in Yaochen's eyes, but a lot of it was worry.

The strength of the Xiao clan, Yaochen is very clear, it can be said that it is the best in the entire Douqi Continent, even if all the forces are combined, even if Xiao Tiance, a strong man of the Dou Emperor, does not make a move, he can be crushed.

Not to mention, now that Xiao Tiance has become a Doudi powerhouse, he only needs to make a slight move, which is a devastating blow to any force, and there is no other result at all.

After all, the Doudi powerhouse is terrifying!

However, it was good to say before that Xiao Yan has always been highly valued by Xiao Tiance, otherwise for a top powerhouse like Xiao Tiance, I would not have personally gone to Utan City, and I also sent the Heavenly Command that I had never had a chance to use to myself.

At that time, Xiao Tiance and himself had never met at all, so naturally it was not to ensure his own safety, the only possibility was to let himself use the Heavenly Order to deter the enemy at a critical time, or when Xiao Yan was in danger.

In addition, when he was in Yunlan Sect, although Yao Chen didn't find that the people of Tianji Tower were hiding around, it was probably just because his strength was too low.

Otherwise, how can you explain that before Xiao Yan obtains the Fallen Heart Flame, as long as there is danger, the people of Tianji Tower will appear in time?

Also, even if it was the three thousand Yan Yan flames that he got from Shengdan City, Xiao Tiance did not hesitate to give them to Xiao Yan.

So, with Xiao Tiance's current strength, what would he do if he knew that Xiao Yan had been brought together with the Gu clan behind his back, and he was also preparing to seize the inheritance of the ancient emperor in the Heavenly Tomb?

Therefore, as soon as he thought of these problems, the worry in Yaochen's eyes became more and more.

"Teacher, I see what you mean? Do you think that this Heavenly Tomb Trial was specially made for the Gu Clan? Xiao Yan was surprised and puzzled, very uncertain.

"Yes, if it weren't specifically for the Gu Clan, would the Xiao Clan need to hold the Heavenly Tomb Trial at this time?

Don't tell the teacher, don't you know that if someone in the same clan breaks through the Dou Di, it will make other people follow the awakening of the Dou Di bloodline?

And as a beneficiary of the awakening of the Doudi bloodline, you should know how powerful a big clan will become after becoming a Doudi.

Xiao Yanzi, if the teacher is not mistaken, every move of the Gu clan is probably under the surveillance of the Xiao clan.

This also means that the agreement you reached with the Gu Yuan Patriarch may also be known by the Xiao clan. Yaochen said with a worried face.

Hearing this, a trace of worry also flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes, he was not worried about himself, but worried about Xiao Xun'er.

No matter what I say, I am also a member of the Xiao clan, and I have also helped the Xiao clan resurrect several nine-star Dou Shengsheng powerhouses, and I don't look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha, no matter how I say it, I don't have to worry about my life.

However, the Gu clan is different, if the Xiao clan really does it to them, they don't have the slightest concern.

Now, according to the difference in strength between the two clans of Xiao Gu, it can be said that even if Xiao Tiance doesn't make a move, the Xiao clan will only need a simple round against the ancient clan to win them all.

"Teacher, why don't you go this time? If the situation is really that dangerous, then I'm probably going to be involved too.

And this time, the Medicine Clan will also go, and with the grudge between you and the Medicine Clan, once you get out of the Xiao Clan's territory, they are likely to take action against you.

Before, the Medicine Clan was afraid that you were my teacher, and I was a member of the Xiao Clan, so they didn't dare to make a move on you.

But once I go to the opposite side of the Xiao family, my identity is worthless. Xiao Yan said with some concern.

For Yaochen, Xiao Yan is very grateful in his heart, even if it is not like in the original book, they have experienced a lot of hardships between them, but the relationship between Xiao Yan and Yaochen in this life is still very good.

Even the bone spirit cold fire on Yao Chen's body was directly given to Xiao Yan, allowing him to quickly improve his strength.

It can be said that the relationship between the two will never be inferior to the relationship between Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhan.

Therefore, after thinking of the next danger, Xiao Yan's first thought was to let Yaochen participate in this Heavenly Tomb Trial.

It's dangerous!

Don't look at the two of them as Dou Sheng's powerhouses, but it's really not enough in front of the Medicine Clan.

On the side, Yaochen's eyes were full of relief, at least this time he was not wrong in looking at people, Xiao Yan was not Han Feng's ungrateful Erwuzai.

"Whew!"

At this time, I saw Yaochen exhale a long breath, and then he smiled and said, "Xiao Yanzi, you can think of the safety of the teacher for the first time, and the teacher is very relieved."

However, knowing that you may be in danger, how can a teacher really abandon you? ”

Speaking of this, Yaochen smiled and continued: "Xiao Yanzi, don't worry too much, maybe all this is just speculation between us.

However, there is one thing you may need to pay attention to. ”

"Please teach me." Xiao Yan saluted respectfully.

"It's not much of a teaching.

As a teacher, you know that the relationship between you and Concubine Ya's girl is good, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you are each other's confidants.

However, there is one thing you must pay attention to, after going to the outer heaven this time, you must keep your distance from the girl of Yafei.

In this Heavenly Tomb Trial, since the Xiao family chose Concubine Ya to preside over the reception of guests, it is very likely that some people in the upper echelons of the Xiao family have taken a fancy to Concubine Ya.

At such a life-and-death juncture, we must not be able to set up enemies from the Xiao clan anymore, otherwise, there will be no good results for you or for Concubine Ya. Yaochen reminded.

Although he had already guessed that it was very likely that Concubine Ya would be the next patriarch's wife of the Xiao clan, but now that everything was just a hint, he was not sure if it would really happen.

Therefore, be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, if it is really because you are too close to Concubine Ya, I am afraid it is not a good thing.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan's brows furrowed again, and then he pondered for a moment, although he felt uncomfortable, after all, Concubine Ya almost became his own woman at the beginning, at that time, he had a hunch that as long as he spoke, Concubine Ya would probably not refuse.

It was only later that Concubine Ya was incorporated into the Tianji Building, and suddenly became the fastest-promoted high-level in the history of the Tianji Building, and there was not much contact between them.

Now, thinking back to the past, and thinking of Concubine Ya's proud figure, Xiao Yan always unconsciously felt a fire in his heart, as if he wanted to devour him.

"Whew!"

After taking a deep breath, Xiao Tiance nodded and said, "I know, teacher, after entering the outer heavens, I will deliberately keep my distance from Sister Yafei." ”

"Well, I'm sorry for you, but the situation is stronger than people, so that we can all come back safely and alive, I can only wronged you."
