Chapter 531 Gu Yuan Has No Harvest

Gu Yuan suddenly discovered another very important piece of information: "Wait, you said Yao Chen? His last name is Yao? The Yao of the Yao clan?"

Gu Chen replied: "Yes, it is said that he is an abandoned disciple of the Yao clan, and this matter was a hot topic back then."

At this point, Gu Yuan has almost determined that there must be a pusher behind the Yao Chen incident. Maybe the Soul Palace was just used!

It may be that the hidden Xiao clan forces saw this opportunity and sent a talent to the open Xiao family in disguise, while also preparing for the future contact with the Yao clan.

It may also be that there are already some people of the Xiao clan lurking in the Soul Palace, laying hidden pieces, and the whole thing was led by the Xiao clan.

They are the perpetrators, the helpers, and the final beneficiaries!

Hiss... Am I thinking that the Xiao clan is too cunning? No, no, if there is really a bloodline of the Xiao clan that can keep in touch with the Xiao family under my nose and not be discovered by me, then it is not an exaggeration to overestimate them.

Gu Chen and Ling Ying looked at Gu Yuan's serious and solemn expression, feeling uneasy.

They thought that they had not discovered Miss Xun'er's emotional problems in time, and they had maintained an indulgent attitude after discovering them, which made things difficult even for the clan leader.

After a long silence, Gu Yuan said softly: "What you did before, do it now, just pretend that I don't exist."

As he said that, his figure slowly disappeared in front of the two people.

Gu Chen and Ling Ying were shocked... Did the clan leader mean that he would stay here for a while?

That's right, after all, in addition to being the clan leader of the Gu clan, the clan leader is also Miss Xun'er's father. It's normal for him to care about his daughter's lifelong affairs.

They looked at each other and saw the bitterness in each other's eyes.

No one could have predicted that Xun'er's feelings for Xiao Yan would be so firm and deep, and she looked like she would not marry anyone but him.

...

Time passed quietly, and Xiao Yan practiced very regularly, his strength steadily improved, and he had reached the peak of Dou Ling, and he could be promoted to Dou Wang at any time.

Gu Yuan watched all this silently. His hard work, his persistence, his tenacity... Xiao Yan is not only talented, but also hardworking. Even among the ancient clan, he is above average.

Without the help of blood power, it is already rare to achieve this level... But just this is not enough to marry Gu Yuan's daughter!

Unconsciously, Gu Yuan began to look at Xiao Yan as a son-in-law.

He observed for three months, and the mysterious Xiao clan was nowhere to be seen. Xiao Yan was not like the kind of person with ulterior motives who approached Xun'er in an opportunistic way. He seemed to be more keen on cultivation and did not even go to Xun'er to deepen his relationship!

On the contrary, his daughter often took the initiative to run to Xiao Yan and asked him about his well-being, which made him feel a little angry.

He wanted to rush over and grab Xiao Yan's collar and ask him, do you know my daughter's feelings for you? If you know, won't you take the initiative? Don't you know to take some time to accompany Xun'er?

Gu Yuan, the old father, had mixed feelings... If Xiao Yan was too close to Xun'er, he would think that this was "ulterior motives", but Xiao Yan ignored Xun'er because he was obsessed with cultivation, and he thought that he was "ungrateful".

In addition to Xiao Yan and Xun'er, Zhou Mingrui also entered Gu Yuan's sight.

He found that this young man made him a little confused.

In contrast to Xiao Yan, Zhou Mingrui never practiced. Every day he either read books or silently watched Xun'er in the corner. Moreover, his ability to hide was very outstanding. Xun'er seemed to be unaware that she was under the surveillance of a classmate most of the time.

If he didn't know that Gu Chen had set such a test, Gu Yuan would definitely think that Zhou Mingrui had bad intentions towards Xun'er!

Even if Gu Chen gave you such a test of secret protection, there was no need to do it to this extent, right? You are almost catching up with Ling Ying!

…

Zhou Mingrui stood on the top of a tree, gazing into the distance. In his sight, a girl in a purple dress, as quiet and elegant as a lotus, was walking on the street with a girl in a red dress, passionate and flamboyant.

Xun'er and Hu Jia gradually walked away. He was about to catch up with them when he suddenly found that a middle-aged man stood beside him.

The man was wearing ordinary clothes and had a smile on his face that made people feel like spring breeze.

"I see you staring at her for a long time. Is she so fascinating to you?" Gu Yuan pretended not to know about the test.

Zhou Mingrui did not recognize him. After all, no Amon had seen Gu Yuan. He smiled and responded:

"Yes, I am very fascinating... A girl as dazzling as the sun, who would not be moved?"

Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows. He was happy that the other party praised Xun'er, but he was a little unsure whether Zhou Mingrui was just following his words and taking it as an excuse, or thinking so sincerely.

Maybe... both.

"You are not a gentleman to follow me secretly like this."

Zhou Mingrui smiled: "I am not a gentleman either."

Gu Yuan was silent for a moment, and said softly: "I am her father."

"Is that so? I thought you were a senior in the academy... Well, I can be a gentleman." Zhou Mingrui immediately changed his words.

Gu Yuan smiled without comment: "Don't you need to practice?"

Zhou Mingrui had a smile on his face: "People always need to make some choices. The old senior who lives in the inn opposite the main entrance of the outer courtyard said that if I can complete his requirements, he will give me an opportunity.

"He asked me to protect a special girl in the academy, but did not tell me who it was, and I need to confirm it myself.

"According to my observation, there are three special girls. One is Zi Yan, who accidentally ate the shapeshifting grass and whose true body is unknown. I haven't seen her for a long time...

"One is a powerful 'witch'. If it is her, I don't need to protect her at all, and I don't know where she went. Now the only one still in the academy is Xun'er.

"I think the opportunity that the old gentleman mentioned may be more important than my half-year hard training, and more conducive to my future development... So I am willing to take a gamble on it."

Gu Yuan nodded: "Clear thinking, rational analysis, and the courage to take risks... What if I lose the bet?"

Zhou Mingrui smiled and said: "If I lose, I lose, it's not without gain. Long-term observation has allowed me to know some of Xun'er's preferences. Maybe I can try it, maybe I can really get the beauty back?"

Gu Yuan's expression was a little strange: "Is it appropriate for you to say this in front of me?"

"Maybe it's appropriate, maybe not, it depends on your attitude."

"What do you like about Xun'er?"

"Beautiful appearance, gentle personality, excellent cultivation talent, and deep background... The last one can save people a hundred years of struggle." Zhou Mingrui said bluntly.

Okay, it turns out that you are the guy with a different purpose! But you are too frank, so frank that I don't know how to evaluate it...Gu Yuan was speechless.

Zhou Mingrui said with a clear smile: "It seems that I guessed right... Xun'er is the 'special girl' that the old man outside said, so my test is half completed... No, probably all completed? Senior, are you here to take her back?"

Gu Yuan was slightly stunned: "You just said these deliberately to test?"

"Maybe it's a test, maybe it's the truth... Or, it's a test in another sense." Zhou Mingrui stroked his monocle.

...

Gu Yuan's trip to the Black Horn Region was fruitless, and he really couldn't see anything unusual...

Does the mysterious hidden Xiao clan really exist?

Isn't that guy Hun Tiandi deliberately trying to make me suspicious? No, probably not...

If the Xiao clan really only had the Xiao family led by Xiao Zhan, the great fighting master, then Hun Tiandi would not say these words at all, because such a Xiao family is not even worth alienating.

Although he failed to reach a conclusion, Gu Yuan still decided to return to the ancient world. He had been out for long enough... and the Soul Clan seemed to have recovered from the war a thousand years ago and began to become active again. He had to remain vigilant!
