Chapter 530 Coincidence?

"Xiao Yan... Xiao Zhan's son..." Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows as he recalled the child with unusually smart eyes when he was a baby.

He only felt a headache at this time, and this seemed to be the most troublesome situation.

Under normal circumstances, it would be easy to tell if the Xiao clan had brainwashed Xun'er, but now it's hard to tell.

My daughter has a sweetheart, and it seems that her elbows are turned outward, maybe, probably...it's also normal...

In short, it is difficult to judge whether Xun'er is like this or whether it is a deliberate plan of the Xiao family.

Gu Yuan is not a pedantic person. He supports Xun'er's free love and her pursuit of her own happiness, but he cannot rely on others or the man has ulterior motives.

He decided to stay and observe Xiao Yan for a while, which did not conflict with his original plan when he came.

Before that, he wanted to take a peek in secret to see what was special about Xiao Clan, the young patriarch on the surface, and whether the hidden power of Xiao Clan would be reflected in him.

Gu Yuan said: "Don't let Xun'er know that I'm here for the time being."

"Yes." Ling Ying bowed down and said respectfully.

Gu Yuan's powerful soul power spread out covertly, giving a panoramic view of the entire Black Angle Domain without alerting anyone.

He "saw" the branch of the Soul Palace located in the vast mountains and forests, "saw" the soul lord spying on Canaan Academy, "saw" Xiao Yan practicing in the deep mountains, and "saw" sitting on the balcony, Xun'er was basking in the sun and staring in the direction of Xiao Yan in a daze...

On the pavilion not far from Xun'er, on the same floor, there was a young man sitting on a recliner, holding a book, with a leisurely look on his face.

He pinched the socket of his right eye with his right hand very naturally, and glanced at Xun'er from time to time, with a smile on his lips.

Zhou Mingrui noticed a terrifying soul power sweeping past... As a spiritual insect, he was sensitive enough to the soul power. As long as he becomes the target of observation by other people's soul power, he will be able to discover it.

It's just that he can't be sure who it is, and he can't judge very accurately what level the other party's soul realm is. He just has a vague estimate.

He pretended not to notice anything and continued with his business.

Seeing Zhou Mingrui looking at Xun'er secretly, Gu Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly:

"Have you investigated the young man in the pavilion next to Xun'er's residence?"

Ling Ying immediately replied: "That is a young man named Zhou Mingrui. He entered the inner courtyard earlier than the lady and lived there earlier. He is very talented and can be called a genius."

The hidden meaning is: It's not that Zhou Mingrui lived next to Xun'er, but that Xun'er lived next to Zhou Mingrui. The other party probably didn't go there specifically for Xun'er.

Gu Chen looked a little weird and said: "He also stayed in this inn for a few days before. I saw that he had good talent, so I decided to accept him as a disciple and gave him a test.

"Let him find a girl with a special identity in the college and protect her... There are also many conflicts and contradictions among the middle school students in the college, and it is not convenient for us to intervene in those...

"I want to find a helper for the young lady. Even if the other party is not sure that it is the young lady, I can avoid too many conflicts when encountering possible targets."

Because his move seemed to be that he was using Xun'er as a trial prop when recruiting a disciple, Gu Chen explained with cold sweat on his face.

Gu Yuan did not comment on this. After "looking" at Zhou Mingrui again, he focused his eyes on Xiao Yan.

…

Xiao Yan, who was practicing "Three Thousand Thunder Movements", suddenly stopped and stood on the skeleton of an unknown monster, looking around with a puzzled expression.

"Strange, teacher, why did I suddenly have the illusion of being watched by others just now?" he asked in his heart.

Yao Chen used the power of his soul to sense his surroundings and shook his head: "I didn't notice anyone else. Maybe it's your illusion."

…

Gu Yuan asked again: "What happened to the soul body next to Xiao Yan? Do you know?"

Ling Ying organized her words and said: "About three years ago, after Nalan Yanran broke off their engagement, Xiao Yan suddenly changed a lot, from a well-known waste to a genius again.

"Afterwards, he claimed that there was an alchemist who accepted him as his disciple... I guess it was this soul body.

"At that time, Xiao Yan said that his master was going to take him for training. The lady was worried about his safety and sent me to protect him for a while."

As he spoke, Ling Ying suddenly stuttered... because he remembered that his main task was to protect the young lady! Running to protect Xiao Yan was obviously a dereliction of duty, even if it was Xun'er's order!

Gu Yuan didn't care and said in a gentle voice: "Continue..."

Ling Ying took a deep breath: "My subordinates are incompetent and have not investigated the identity of this soul body. I only know that he was probably an alchemist of a high level during his lifetime."

At this time, Gu Chen took over: "I have some guesses. If my guess is correct, it should be the famous Yao Zun, Yao Chen."

"Yao Chen?" Gu Yuan frowned, feeling that he had probably heard this name before in the ancient world.

The ancient tribe will also pay attention to the movements in Zhongzhou, and some tribesmen are walking in Zhongzhou.

As the number one alchemist in Zhongzhou back then, Yao Chen was obviously qualified to be talked about by the people of the ancient clan.

"Is it him?" Ling Ying was shocked.

"Xiao Yan once used a forest-white flame. It was the bone spirit cold fire ranked eleventh on the list of strange fires. Yao Chen had this kind of flame. It is said that Yao Chen died after refining the medicine, which was also the same as the current soul body. The situation is right," Gu Chen analyzed.

"Did you die while refining the medicine?" Gu Yuan repeated.

Gu Chen said: "This is the news released by his disciple Han Feng. There is also another rumor... It is said that Han Feng colluded with the Soul Palace and murdered Lord Yao. Lord Feng of Xingyun Pavilion has been investigating This matter."

Gu Yuan's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he said in a serious tone: "The people from the Soul Palace murdered Lord Yao and put him in this situation?"

Gu Chen didn't know why the clan leader suddenly showed such a serious look, and felt a little nervous. He nodded immediately and replied:

"If that soul body is really Yao Chen, then it should be like this, otherwise Han Feng, Yao Chen's personal disciple, would not have released such false news that 'Yao Chen failed to make alchemy and was killed by backlash'."

Yao Chen was assassinated by people from the Soul Palace... His soul body escaped capture and wandered to the northwest of the mainland, thousands of miles away from Zhongzhou. He took as his disciple the young patriarch of the Xiao clan who had a blood feud with the Soul clan... Is this too much of a coincidence? Already?

It was as if someone was pushing behind the scenes and deliberately arranging all this... Xiao Clan? Gu Yuan thought to himself.
