526. Chapter 526 Ancient Jade

Early the next morning, the sun shone into the room. Xiao Yan slowly opened his hazy sleeping face, raised his hand and lightly scratched his hair. He felt very uncomfortable. He turned his head slightly and found that his hair had gone past his shoulders because he had not been trimmed in a year. .

"It's time to get a haircut"

After murmuring like this, he immediately lowered his head and looked at Yun Xiao, who was still sleeping soundly on his body with drool at the corner of his mouth. He looked really cute.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Yun Yun's voice came in immediately.

"Xiao Yan, are you awake?"

"Sister Yun Yun, come in."

After Xiao Yan responded, the door opened. Yun Yun saw Xiao Yan sitting up from the bed and Yun Xiao sleeping soundly on top of him, and she showed a warm smile.

Yesterday, Yun Yun was very interested in sleeping in the same room with Xiao Yan, but because of the presence of Cai Lin, she was really embarrassed to open her mouth. Coupled with Yun Shan's teasing look, Yun Yun stopped thinking shyly.

But Yun Xiao insisted on sleeping with Xiao Yan, and Yun Yun couldn't resist her, and since Xiao Yan took the initiative, she agreed.

"Xiaoxiao, did you sleep well tonight?"

Yun Yun came over and sat comfortably beside the bed. Xiao Yan smiled slightly.

"Unlike when he's awake, this child doesn't stir as much when sleeping." Xiao Yan fiddled with Yun Xiao's hair, looked at Yun Yun and asked, "How many days do you plan to stay?"

"I should go back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. There are still many things in the sect, so I can't leave for too long." Yun Yun paused and smiled softly, "Originally we planned to go to Canaan College to worship you today, but now we see This schedule can be cancelled.”

"Haha." Xiao Yan smiled, then guilt appeared in his eyes, "I'm sorry for making you worry."

After hearing this, Yun Yun shook her head slightly.

"No need to apologize, as long as you are alive, that's better than anything else."

There was warmth in Xiao Yan's eyes, and he looked at Yun Yun quietly. Their eyes gradually became affectionate. They had not seen each other for a year, and the people they loved were alone in the room, which would always make their hearts restless.

Just when something indescribable was about to happen, Yun Xiao in Xiao Yan's arms let out a low groan, which reminded the two of them that they were not the only ones in the room. They both smiled in embarrassment with red faces. .

As if to escape the embarrassment, Xiao Yan asked.

"Sister Yun Yun, what did you and Cai Lin talk about yesterday? Can you tell me about it?"

"Let's talk about what happened to you this year and some personal matters." Yun Yun said this, with a rare teasing smile in her eyes, "Ten days and ten nights, you are quite good. It’s awesome.”

"."

Xiao Yan suddenly covered his face. Did Cai Lin even tell Yun Yun this?

Immediately, Yun Yun reached out and held Yun Xiao in her arms, saying.

"It's almost time for Xiaoxiao to wake up. I'll take her back to clean up."

"Wait while I pick her up. I'll keep her company before you go back."

"Um."

Yun Yun stood up and left the room with Yun Xiao in her arms, closing the door gently. Xiao Yan also turned over and started to put on his clothes. After putting them on, he was thinking about what he had to do today.

(Go to the auction house and ask if there is anything that can restore souls. You must restore the souls of Senior Yao and Senior Tianhuo as soon as possible.)

With this thought in his mind, Xiao Yan opened the door and indeed saw his sister Xiao Ling standing at the door. Without thinking much, he raised his hand and said hello.

"Good morning, sister."

Xiao Ling turned a deaf ear to Xiao Yan's greetings and looked at Xiao Yan silently, making Xiao Yan's hair stand on end and making Xiao Yan's heart tremble slightly.

Xiao Yan experienced not only his mother's tenderness from Xiao Ling, but also his mother's sternness.

After a long time, Xiao Ling sighed deeply, crossed his arms and leaned against the door, and asked softly. "Does the matter between Medusa and Yun Yun make sense?"

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Yeah, that makes sense."

Saying this, Xiao Yan looked a little embarrassed, as if he was a child who had made a mistake.

"Now that it makes sense, I shouldn't have to worry about it anymore." Let's talk, Xiao Ling sighed again, "You kid, you really don't make people worry."

Then Xiao Ling paused and asked in a solemn voice.

"Are you planning to go directly to Zhongzhou from now on?"

"Well, I have to rescue Sister Xiao Yu." Then Xiao Yan pinched his chin strangely, his eyes full of doubts, "But I still don't know why the Soul Palace wants to arrest Sister Xiao Yu. Logically speaking, Sister Xiao Yu and them should It has nothing to do with it?”

"I've thought about this too. At first I thought it was you who disrupted the layout of the Soul Palace many times, so the Soul Palace took people related to you as hostages to gain something. But this guess soon became clear to me. Rejected." Xiao Ling leaned against the wall and said calmly: "There are many more important people to you. Father, me, your second sister, or Yun Yun and Yun Xiao, in the eyes of outsiders, these people have a relationship with you. But the relationship between Xiao Yu and you is much closer, so even if the Soul Palace wants to capture hostages, it won’t be Xiao Yu’s turn.”

"And Xiao Yu herself has nothing to do with the Soul Palace. She doesn't have any special bloodline or special abilities. The Soul Palace has no reason to arrest her in front of so many people even if her identity is revealed."

"After ruling out all the possibilities, I only got an unlikely guess." Xiao Ling paused and looked a little weird, "That's them. They arrested the wrong person."

"Arrested the wrong person?"

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows. It shouldn't be that bad, right? That's the Soul Palace, the number one power in Zhongzhou Continent. Even his teacher Yao Chen, the number one alchemist in the continent, is afraid of it. It's not like they would make a mistake like arresting the wrong person, right?

And Xiao Yan also saw Xiao Yan's unconvincing look and said lightly.

"Yan'er, don't think those big powers are so magical. No matter what it is, no matter how big the power is, as long as things are operated by people, there will definitely be a chance of making mistakes." Xiao Yan pinched his chin lightly and said slowly: "Half a year ago, I gave my subordinates an order. Because it was just a small matter, I didn't formally write a document, but just let the people below convey it one by one."

"However, after half a month, this matter was not resolved. I was very surprised at the time, so I went to find out about it. I found that my order had been conveyed through many layers of communication. The meaning of the order conveyed to the ears of the executor was completely different from the order I issued."

Xiao Yan's words made Xiao Yan frown tightly.

"Sister, what do you mean?"

"The reason why Xiao Yu was captured is probably because the executor received the wrong order and captured Xiao Yu because of misunderstanding." Xiao Yu paused and continued: "Although it was a wrong order, there must be a reason why she was mistaken for Xiao Yu. It is very likely that the original order contained the words [Xiao] and [Yu]."

"So according to my speculation, the original order of the Soul Palace should be [bring a piece of jade from the Xiao family]. I also found the most likely thing in the Xiao family based on this speculation."

As he said, Xiao Yu gently stroked the ring, and a piece of jade appeared in his hand, presented in front of Xiao Yan.

It was a very simple fan-shaped jade stone, which looked obviously incomplete. According to the shape of the jade, the complete jade should be a round jade, but the jade in Xiao Yu's hand was only one-eighth the size.

"Sister, what is this?"

"This is the ancient jade that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Xiao family. When my father took over as the patriarch, he got it from my grandfather. As for what this jade is, my grandfather doesn't know either. He only said that this jade is very important to the Xiao family." Xiao Yu said, raising his eyebrows slightly, "And this ancient jade may not only be related to the Soul Palace, but also to Xun'er."

"Xun'er?"

Xiao Yan was suddenly stunned, and Xiao Yu asked softly.

"Yan'er, do you know Xun'er's family situation?"

"I don't know, I never asked, and Xun'er didn't mention it either."

In response to Xiao Yu's inquiry, Xiao Yan shook his head slightly, and Xiao Yu continued.

"Although my father doesn't know much, one thing is certain, Xun'er's family is in Zhongzhou, and the family power is quite large. Even with such a large family, Xun'er's father, as the patriarch, actually asked the small Xiao family to help take care of his daughter. Don't you think it's strange?"

"If I guess correctly, Xun'er is likely to come for this ancient jade." (End of this chapter)
