Chapter 728: Invitation
Chapter 728: Invitation
Going down the mountain road, before Xiao Yan came down the mountain, he saw a purple figure, just like an elf, jumping lightly.
Gu Xun'er is like a purple ***, her graceful posture draws a seductive arc, jumps lightly, tilts her head slightly, and sweeps her eyes to the young man on the edge of the cliff.
Looking at the young man, Xun'er was slightly stunned, although she had only been seen for half a day, but she felt that Xiao Yan now seemed to have something more than before......
When her eyes met in the swaying mountain wind, Kaoru finally sensed that there was something more about the young man, and that was ...... Assertive!
After three years, the most shining aura on the former teenager seems to have finally returned again!
A little fascinated by the faint smile on the corner of the young man's mouth, Gu Xun'er's pretty cheeks, cute little dimples appeared, and said with a light smile: "Looking at Brother Xiao Yan's current appearance, it seems that Xun'er doesn't need to comfort him?"
Looking at the slightly immature and beautiful little face, Xiao Yan's heart suddenly felt a little trance, the little thing that was snotty and followed blindly behind with a bare butt back back was now so smart and moving.
But......
When he thought of the introduction of Gu Xun'er on the scroll list, Xiao Yan's mood became complicated again.
Even if he believed that Gu Xun'er had no ill will towards him, but when he thought that Gu Xun'er's origin was so mysterious and that he had hidden himself for so many years, Xiao Yan felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
He looked at Gu Xun'er with a complicated expression, and his tone was complicated: "Should I call you Xiao Xun'er, or Gu Xun'er?"
Hearing this, Gu Xun'er's face stiffened slightly, and then quickly recovered, and her smart eyes blinked slightly: "What is Brother Xiao Yan saying, why can't Xun'er understand?"
"Gu Xun'er, alias Xiao Xun'er, the daughter of Gu Yuan, the patriarch of the ancient eight clans, is pregnant with a strange fire Golden Emperor Burning Sky Yan, and is the most perfect person in the history of the ancient clan to awaken the bloodline of the Dou Emperor......" Xiao Yan looked at Gu Xun'er, his face had a trace of bitterness, "How long do you want to hide it from me?"
Hearing Xiao Yan say his identity in such detail, Gu Xun'er was a little flustered: "Brother Xiao Yan, Xun'er didn't mean to hide it from you......"
At the same time, she was also extremely shocked, where did Brother Xiao Yan learn his identity?
"Can you tell me the purpose of your coming to the Xiao family?" Xiao Yan looked at Gu Xun'er steadily, the panic on the latter's pretty face made him feel even more bitter, and after a long time, he calmed down and asked: "Patriarch Gu is one of the top powerhouses in the world, he sent his baby daughter to the Xiao family, it's not for fun, right?"
Gu Xun'er's mouth opened, but she didn't know how to speak.
Xiao Yan looked at Gu Xun'er and said, "Let me guess, the Xiao family used to be one of the eight ancient clans, the Xiao clan, you should be here for something of the Xiao clan......, right? Something else?"
"Brother Xiao Yan even knows this......" Gu Xun'er was more and more shocked in her heart.
"Brother Xiao Yan. Gu Xun'er was silent for a moment, then bit her lip and said in a low voice: "Father did tell Xun'er to ask Xun'er to look for something, but Xun'er promised that she never had this idea...... If Xun'er really had this thought, she had already succeeded many years ago and left the Xiao family. ”
Xiao Yan stared at Gu Xun'er for a long time, and asked tentatively, "Is it because of me?"
Gu Xun'er's face suddenly showed a touch of shyness, although she liked Xiao Yan in her heart, she was still an innocent girl after all.
"Can you tell me, what is the goal of the ancient patriarch?" Xiao Yan asked curiously.
Gu Xun'er hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Yes......"
However, just as she was about to speak, a figure suddenly flashed on the side, and a slightly old voice interrupted Gu Xun'er's words: "Miss, be cautious!"
At the same time, an old figure appeared beside Gu Xun'er, his breath was restrained, but the occasional trace of breath leaked out made people feel very depressed.
Master!
This is a master who is much stronger than Xiao Zhan, the head of the Xiao family!
At least it's the king of fighting!
Xiao Yan's gaze locked on the old figure.
"Douhuang. At this time, Yao Lao's figure slowly floated from the direction of the mountain, his eyes fell on the old figure, and he said calmly: "The old man has long noticed that Gu Xun'er has a master secretly protecting him, and he didn't expect that he was actually a strong man who fought the emperor." ”
This person is none other than Ling Ying!
A strong fighter who is good at hiding and assassinating!
His concealment ability is extremely strong, and he has learned the fighting skills of the ancient clan, which is even more difficult to detect, and even Yao Lao only saw his true face at this time. If he hadn't taken the initiative to show up, it would have been difficult for Yao Lao to find his hidden location.
"Soul body, who are you?" Gu Xun'er looked at Yao Lao with some vigilance, "You told Brother Xiao Yan that he had information about me?"
"Although the old man vaguely guessed your identity, Xiao Yan didn't know your identity from the old man. Yao Lao smiled faintly, "Introduce yourself, my name is Yao Chen, you can call me Yao Lao, or...... Medicine Venerable!"
Yao Lao is a well-known figure in Zhongzhou, and he is also very famous among the ancient eight clans.
Gu Xun'er was born in the ancient clan, and naturally she has heard of Yao Lao's reputation.
She never expected that the famous Medicine Venerable was still alive and appeared in the Xiao family.
Although Gu Xun'er's identity is very big, she still doesn't dare to underestimate Yao Lao, a legendary nine-grade alchemist.
"Medicine Venerable!" Ling Ying was shocked in his heart, although he guessed that the identity of this soul body must be extraordinary, but he also did not expect that the other party turned out to be Medicine Venerable.
At the peak of Yao Lao, he was a top Douzun powerhouse, and he was a nine-rank alchemist, and most importantly, Yao Lao was born in the Medicine Clan, and he was also a member of one of the Ancient Eight Clans, although he later tore his face with the Medicine Clan and turned out of the Medicine Clan, but no one in the Ancient Eight Clans dared to underestimate him.
In terms of strength, the ancient eight clans were stronger than Yao Lao, and there were many people, but Yao Lao's refining level was not comparable to them.
Even if Yao Lao fell, leaving only one soul body, and his strength was less than one percent of his peak, Ling Ying was still extremely jealous of Yao Lao.
A top-level Douzun, even if there is less than one percent of his strength left, is still not to be underestimated.
Looking at Ling Ying's jealous appearance, Yao Lao smiled slightly: "Don't be nervous, the old man has just woken up, at most, he can only exert the strength of the Dou King, and he will not pose any threat to your young lady." ”
Ling Ying was unmoved, protecting Gu Xun'er was his first task.
"Well, I won't ask you what the purpose of the ancient patriarch is. Xiao Yan ignored Ling Ying and said to Gu Xun'er, "However, I would like to invite you to join an academy, by the way, do me a small favor." ”
"Okay. Gu Xun'er couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that Xiao Yan didn't ask any questions, and then a sweet smile appeared on her face, and two shallow dimples appeared on her cheeks, "What academy does Brother Xiao Yan want to invite Xun'er to join?"
"To be exact, what I want to invite you to join is not the headquarters of the academy, but the branch of the academy......" Xiao Yan looked at Gu Xun'er seriously, "Its name is ...... The Firmament Academy broke through the World Branch. ”
Firmament Academy?
Gu Xun'er was stunned for a moment, she knew something about all the colleges in the world that had a little weight, originally she thought that even if Xiao Yan didn't invite him to join Canaan Academy, it must be a world-famous academy, but unexpectedly, Xiao Yan actually said such a name, Firmament Academy, she had no impression of such an academy in her memory, she was very sure that Firmament Academy was definitely an unknown academy, and in the entire Douqi Continent, I am afraid that few people had heard of it.
What puzzled her the most was that what Xiao Yan invited her to join was not only an unknown academy, but also a branch of this academy......
Gu Xun'er hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and said, "No problem." ”
She felt indebted to Xiao Yan, as long as Xiao Yan didn't make excessive demands, she would agree, joining an unknown academy was not a big deal, she had no reason to refuse, after all, with her family background, no matter which academy she joined, it would have no effect on her, because she didn't care about the resources and other things in the academy, and the ancient clan was enough to meet all her requirements.
"What does Brother Xiao Yan want me to help with?" asked Gu Xun'er.
Xiao Yan's expression became serious, and he said, "I hope ...... Can you take me to meet Patriarch Gu!"
Gu Xun'er was taken aback: "You want to see my father?"
She seemed to want to be crooked, and her face couldn't help but turn red.
"Never!" Ling Ying said urgently: "Miss, how you play with Xiao Yan on weekdays, the old slave can't care, but you must not take him to see the patriarch...... The identity of the patriarch is one of the most noble people in the world, how can anyone see it? What's more, the Xiao clan has fallen to this point, and Xiao Yan is just a down-and-out young master, not qualified at all...... If the patriarch knows that you have a secret affection for Xiao Yan, his fate will be very miserable!"
Ling Ying didn't have any ill will towards Xiao Yan, on the contrary, he still admired Xiao Yan very much, otherwise, Gu Yuan wouldn't still know that Gu Xun'er had a deep love for Xiao Yan, but he would never let Xiao Yan appear in the Gu clan's field of vision now, which was not good for Gu Xun'er, and even more so for Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Although I know that you are for my good, but what you say, you can't help but look down on people a little!"
Ling Ying sighed and said, "Xiao Yan, you are a genius, even though you have lost your talent in the past three years and have been regarded as a waste by countless people, I still appreciate your temperament, and I think that you still have hope to rise in the future, and even become a powerhouse in the Douqi Continent." But now, after all, you haven't grown up yet, and the geniuses who haven't fulfilled their potential are just geniuses, such people, the ancient eight clans have seen too much, and no one cares...... It's too early for you to go see the patriarch now......"
Xiao Yan's eyes were a little strange, and he said, "Okay, thank you for your kindness, but you seem to have misunderstood what I meant." ”
"You went to see the patriarch, didn't you go to Xun'er?" Ling Ying was stunned.
"Of course not. Xiao Yan took a deep breath and looked at Gu Xun'er and Ling Ying seriously, "My purpose for meeting Patriarch Gu is actually to invite Patriarch Gu to join the Firmament Academy's Dou Breaking World Branch! That's all!" He didn't deny that he liked Gu Xun'er, but he wasn't in such a hurry to see his parents, he believed that after he made remarkable achievements in the future, everything would fall into place.
Hearing this, Gu Xun'er and Ling Ying were both stunned: "Invite the patriarch (father) to join the Firmament Academy to break through the World Branch?"
"Nonsense!" Ling Ying laughed angrily, he originally admired Xiao Yan a little, but now, he was a little annoyed, and he was quite dissatisfied with Xiao Yan, "What kind of identity is the patriarch? How can you join any academy casually?" Xiao Yan, it's just that you invite Miss Xun'er to join that branch, this is Miss Xun'er's freedom, and the Gu clan is not short of this resource, but you actually hit the patriarch with your idea, you disappointed me too much!"
His face turned gloomy, and he said, "In this world, there is no academy that is qualified to let the patriarch join! What academy do you want the patriarch to join, and let the patriarch teach those students, why? Is it because Miss Xun'er likes you?"
Gu Xun'er was also a little confused, and she felt that Brother Xiao Yan seemed to be crazy.
"You're mistaken. Xiao Yan shook his head and said, "I invited the Gu Patriarch to join, not to let him be a mentor, but to be a student like Xun'er." ”
"Ridiculous!" Ling Ying laughed angrily, but his face was iron-blue, if it weren't for the scruples of having Yao Lao by his side, I'm afraid he couldn't help but make a move on Xiao Yan, this kid, who hadn't seen him for a long time, had it swelled to such a point? Could it really be that Nalan Yanran was beaten crazy? In this world, few people are qualified to let the patriarch teach, and as for the person who can teach the patriarch, I'm afraid that only the legendary Dou Emperor is right?
"Ridiculous? I don't think so. Xiao Yan smiled slightly, "As for why, can he rely on him?"
As he spoke, Xiao Yan pointed to the Divine Thoughts clone behind him who was blocked by him, only to see that he was slightly wrong, and the figure of the Divine Thought Clone appeared in the sight of Gu Xun'er and Ling Ying.
"Senior, can you let them see your strength a little?" Although this was just a divine clone of Zhang Yu, Xiao Yan still maintained twelve points of respect for him.
As Xiao Yan's words fell, the expressionless god clone turned his head slightly, and his cold gaze fell on Gu Xun'er and Ling Ying......
