Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 798 What is Brother Xiao Yan to her?! (First Update!)

Xun'er is rebellious.

Even back in the time of Wutan City, this was something that would have shocked everyone.

Tranquil, elegant, outstanding, and gentle. It can be said that the girls of that time were almost synonymous with all the beautiful descriptions, reaching a level that made other girls not even have the courage to envy them.

In other words, ever since she was a child, she has been the 'perfect child'.

Do other people's children rebel?

What a joke.

In the eyes of parents, other people's children, besides eating and sleeping, will always be holding a martial arts manual and won't let go, even when they're not practicing.

Even if she makes the same mistake as her own child, the parents will only turn a blind eye and then praise Xun'er for admitting her mistake and correcting it, telling you, little rascal, to learn from her.
However, as Xun'er's elder, Xiao Yan was perfectly aware of this little tagalong's thoughts—

The so-called "holding onto the classics" was nothing more than a way to fool those stubborn old men. In reality, what was tucked inside were comic books, which he had personally bought from a ruthless old man in the market for a staggering half a copper coin.

As for admitting mistakes and correcting them, that's utter nonsense.

Every time she returned from her cultivation in the clan, the little girl would inevitably complain to the Third Elder, who had the worst temper. She even somehow picked up a few vulgar swear words from him, which resulted in Xiao Yan being beaten on the bottom with a wooden board by his father all night and not being able to get out of bed for three days.
That little girl is a total troublemaker!
Therefore, rather than saying that Ruoruo corrupted Xun'er, it would be more accurate to say that she completely liberated Xun'er from her constraints. Gentleness was never her true nature; rebellion was.

No wonder even elders of the Saint rank are having such a headache.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan's face showed a hint of helplessness, and he sighed, "Senior came to see me, is it just for this trivial matter?"

"Hehe, perhaps in your eyes, this is indeed just a trivial matter."

The dignified old man had a complex look in his eyes and slowly said, "But don't forget, she is not called Xiao Xun'er now, but Gu Xun'er."

Gu Xun'er, Xiao Xun'er.

A difference of just one word can have vastly different meanings.

"The young master of an ancient clan, is that it?"

Xiao Yan murmured the name, then shook his head and chuckled.

It's hard to imagine that the small city of Wutan would eventually gather the future heirs of three powerful families.

Whether it's Hun Ruoruo, Gu Xun'er, or even Xiao Yan himself, they have all undergone earth-shattering changes. Their every word and action is enough to determine the life and death of many people.

"Even I can't believe that the Xiao, Gu, and Hun clans would rekindle their karmic ties a thousand years later."

The old man stroked his beard, a hint of memory flashing in his eyes, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "They back then were perhaps just like you are now."

When the old man mentioned "them," his tone noticeably lowered, carrying a tension that was not just respect but also apprehension.

"them?"

Xiao Yan frowned, quickly realizing what the other person meant. "You mean, our ancestors from back then, and Xun'er's father and the others?"

The old man shook his head, clearly unwilling to discuss the matter further. He slowly stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "Young friend, I apologize for my previous probing. I am Gu Nanhai. May I trouble you, my elder brother, to have a chat with my clan's young master?"

Seeing the other party's ambiguous attitude, Xiao Yan immediately lost interest in asking further questions and casually said, "Reason."

"Hehe. You dare to ask a Saint-level expert for a reason. I must say, you really have some of Xiao Xuan's courage back then."

Faced with Xiao Yan's arrogant words, the old man was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "I can guarantee that during this trip to the ancient clans, no expert exceeding the strength stipulated in the treaty will attack you. I wonder if this reason satisfies you, young friend?"

The so-called treaty provisions naturally refer to the convention that restricts the combat power of the Dou Sheng.

Although it is said that a five-star Dou Sheng level expert should not easily show himself in public, such a rule does not exist within the ancient clans. If any of these powerful figures were to make a move, it would be no less than a devastating blow to Xiao Yan in his current state.

Xiao Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly asked, "Just a Dou Sheng above the treaty?"

"It is already quite remarkable that we were able to get those elders who held opposing views to back down like this."

The old man nodded with a smile, but did not yield in the slightest. He said meaningfully, "As for whether you can succeed, that is not something I should worry about."

The ancient clan's attitude was simple: confidence. Even without using any extraordinary experts, their accumulated resources alone were enough to easily crush Xiao Yan.

In other words, they never took Xiao Yan seriously; they only resorted to this tactic out of consideration for the face of the ancient clan.

If it weren't for Xun'er's rebellious nature, they wouldn't even have made this concession.

"can."

After a moment of silence, Xiao Yan suddenly agreed.

The speed at which they agreed surprised even Gu Nanhai, who had made the request. He couldn't help but say, "Boy, are you sure? I must remind you, that treaty is for those below the Five-Star Dou Sheng level, not the Half-Saint level!"

"This also means that Elder Tongxuan, who has always been extremely hostile towards you, has sufficient reason to take action against you!"

"Since we'll have to face him sooner or later, it doesn't seem to make any difference whether it's sooner or later."

Xiao Yan did not have a good impression of the ancient clan, but that was limited to what they did to Xun'er and Ruoruo.

It was inevitable that the other party would seize the Xiao Clan's heritage and occupy the Heavenly Tomb quota. The law of the jungle has always been the unchanging rule of the Dou Qi Continent, and even the alliance formed by the two clans in the past could not change this fact.

He and the ancient tribes simply followed different paths.

If he were to follow the Soul Clan's arrangements based solely on these reasons and regard the Ancient Clan as his mortal enemy, not only would he be unable to get along with Xun'er, but Xiao Yan himself would not be so bored.

Ultimately, the decision on how to deal with those people should be made by Xun'er herself.

Since that's the case, why not go along with the other party's wishes and meet them before the coming-of-age ceremony begins?

Xiao Yan smiled slightly and said calmly, "In addition, I hope your ancient clan understands that the reason I agreed is not because of these meaningless conditions you have given me, but for the sake of my cousin whom I have taken care of since childhood."

"As an elder brother, that's all."

Upon hearing this, Gu Nanhai stood there stunned for a long time before gradually regaining his senses. He gave him a deep look and then said, "Boy, you'd better watch yourself."

After saying that, he raised his hand and the previously closed secret realm suddenly opened, and a vortex leading to the interior of the ancient world quietly appeared in front of Xiao Yan.

“Go ahead, the young lady is probably waiting for you right now,” he sighed softly.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yan did not look at the tunnel, but instead spread his hands expressionlessly: "Before reaching an agreement, didn't your ancient clans know to release the people first?"

Seeing this, Gu Nanhai's expression froze for a moment, then he threw out a ball of light with a hint of irritation, saying as if shooing away a fly: "Boy, keep an eye on your old servant. If he continues to speak so recklessly, even at the risk of offending that Palace Master, I will definitely beat him to death!"

Seeing the old man's anger, Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback. Before he could ask any questions, he heard countless vulgar and offensive words coming from within the ball of light—

"You beat up a little puppy, and now you have an old puppy. Your ancient clan is truly shameless!"

"Old man, if you have the guts, kill your Grandpa Moyu. If your grandpa manages to escape, he will surely make your entire clan live in constant turmoil!"

"Hehe, you don't know, do you? The elder brother your young master reveres is actually my young lady's..."

Xiao Yan felt increasingly uneasy as he listened, and finally couldn't help but twitch his face as he shouted, "Demon Rain!"

"Young Master?!"

Mo Yu was terrified. He scrambled to his feet, feeling around to make sure he was unharmed. Then, he hurriedly approached obsequiously, saying with a fawning smile, "Young Master, rest assured, this old servant is ready to die for you. Even if facing an ancient clan's Battle Saint, I will remain loyal to you and Miss."

However, before he could finish speaking, his eyes suddenly widened, as if an invisible hand had gripped his throat, rendering him unable to utter a sound.

Not far behind Xiao Yan, a girl with a serene face and graceful figure appeared silently, as if by magic.

She was dressed in black, her hip-length black hair swaying like wind chimes, and her bright golden eyes, set against the night sky, radiated a noble and eerie light, like the sun of a fallen moon.

"Tell me, what is Brother Xiao Yan to that woman?"
