Chapter 532 Not Too Crooked

At night, the vast and sparsely populated inner courtyard of Canaan College seemed extremely cold. Sparse clouds drifted across the sky, and the moon appeared and disappeared.

After a large cloud passed by, the sky became clear, and the watery moonlight sprinkled on the ground, the tiles of the pavilion, and the trees planted in the yard, as if it cast a silvery gauze over the whole world.

The girl leaned forward, bent slightly, leaning her elbows on the railing and supporting her head on her palms.

"Alas..." She sighed, with an indelible sadness on her brows.

"Mr. Ling, haven't the elders in the clan urged me to go back recently? Didn't they send someone over?" Since the last message she sent back to the clan, saying that she would stay at Canaan College for a while, the ancient clan has There was no more movement.

This made Xun'er feel a little surprised. According to the style of the old guys in the clan, it is normal to urge someone every once in a while. After urging a few times, it is normal to send someone over directly.

Ling Ying's figure emerged from the shadows, and he said respectfully: "I didn't receive the message."

He rolled his eyes in his heart, thinking that the patriarch is here. If he really wants to take you back, who else will he send?

"Ha...those old guys really changed their minds?" Xun'er had a look of suspicion on his face.

At this moment, a voice sounded from the room: "It turns out that in your eyes, I am already an 'old thing'... It will make me sad if you think so."

Hearing this familiar voice that she had not heard for a long time, Xun'er was startled, turned around hurriedly, and said in surprise: "Dad! Why are you here?"

Ahem... Gu Yuan cleared his throat and said, "I'm the one sent by those old guys to take you back."

Gu Yuan was not that tough when it came to his daughter. Although it was his own decision, he pushed everything to the old guys in the clan...

He temporarily forgot that he was one of the oldest in the clan.

Xun'er's face fell, and she frowned and said, "If you don't want to, who in the clan can instruct you..."

As he grew older and more knowledgeable, Xun'er gained a better understanding of the power and power his father had, and also understood that the constraints he had in the clan were not as many as imagined.

Seeing Xun'er's resentful expression, Gu Yuan laughed dryly:

"I miss my little cotton-padded jacket too... I'm worried that after a while, the little cotton-padded jacket will forget about my old father when she has a lover."

Xun'er's face flushed, knowing that she couldn't hide it from Gu Yuan, so she didn't deny it.

"Besides, I'm also a little worried about your safety." Gu Yuan's expression became serious and he said solemnly.

"My safety?" Xun'er frowned and didn't understand why Gu Yuan said that.

"There is Mr. Ling here, there is the space jade slip you left for me, and there is probably a hidden guardian around me... Isn't this enough?"

Gu Yuan shook his head: "Not enough... This continent has begun to become turbulent again... The Soul Clan has gradually recovered its vitality and is starting to make moves again. I have met their clan leader in Zhongzhou before."

Xun'er's pupils shrank...Head of the Soul Clan, this title was terrifying.

"Do you know under what circumstances we met?"

Xun'er shook her head.

Gu Yuan said seriously: "We all sensed a gathering of terrifying power that surpassed the Dou Sheng and could destroy us... He and I went to check it out.

"During the conversation with me, he revealed a very surprising thing... The Xiao clan is not as simple as imagined. There are secrets hidden behind them."

"Ah?" Xun'er looked at Ling Ying in confusion. Don't they both know what the Xiao family's situation is? What secrets could a family that was forced into dire straits by Liu Xi, a mere first-grade alchemist, have?

This was the first time Ling Ying heard Gu Yuan mention it, and his face was extremely blank... He really didn't find anything!

"It's not the Xiao family you live in, it's another hidden force. There may be a certain connection with the Xiao family, but it's not close."

"Isn't this a good thing?" Xun'er blurted out... In this case, Brother Xiao Yan will also have someone to rely on, so he won't have to go alone, and it will be much easier.

Gu Yuan's eyes darkened, and he stared at Xun'er closely: "The Xiao clan is not the Xiao family, and you may become the heir of the ancient clan!"

Xun'er's mind turned around: "Father, are you worried that the Xiao Clan will be detrimental to me? Or will you use me to take advantage of the Ancient Clan?"

Gu Yuan nodded.

"Brother Xiao Yan would not do that." Xun'er said with unusual certainty.

"Xiao Yan is Xiao Yan, and the Xiao clan is the Xiao clan. The Xiao clan should have some arrangements for him, but he doesn't know it himself." Gu Yuan replied in a calm tone.

"If there is a conflict between the Xiao Clan and the Ancient Clan, whose side will you stand on?"

"Of course it's an ancient tribe." Xun'er answered matter-of-factly.

Gu Yuan nodded slightly and asked: "What if there is a conflict between Xiao Yan and the ancient clan?"

"Ah? This..." Xun'er hesitated and did not answer directly: "We should understand the truth of the matter first... Brother Xiao Yan is not an unreasonable person."

After that, Gu Yuan asked a few more questions and found that Xun'er's basic position was fine and she was loyal to the ancient clan.

Only when it comes to Xiao Yan, he becomes hesitant and tries to find ways to balance the interests and conflicts between the two clans, but there is a faint tendency to favor Xiao Yan.

Gu Yuan was not surprised by this result. From previous observations, it was evident from Xun'er's attitude towards Xiao Yan.

It's okay, not completely crooked... Gu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

At the end of the conversation, he said firmly: "Xun'er, get ready. We will return to the tribe in three days."

"Three days, this is too short. Can it be a few more days?" Xun'er tried to bargain.

Gu Yuan shook his head firmly: "Just three days, you decide."

Xun'er snorted and said angrily: "Old Ling, please take me to Brother Xiao Yan, go now!"

"Ah?" Ling Ying looked at Xun'er, then at Gu Yuan, and did not take action immediately.

Gu Yuan smiled and said: "Since I said three days, then three days, Xun'er will arrange these three days by herself, and I will not interfere too much.

"However, since you want to see Xiao Yan, then go see him, I will take you there. "

As soon as Gu Yuan finished speaking, Xun'er found that she was no longer in the pavilion in the inner courtyard, but in the cave of an unknown monster.

Many strange plants grew in the cave, and the fragrance they emitted covered the smell of monsters, so that the air in the cave was not too bad.

Xiao Yan opened his eyes from meditation and looked at Xun'er, who was only two steps away from him, with a look of surprise on his face: "Xun'er, why are you here?"

Xun'er smiled and said: "I missed you. "
