Chapter 147 Becoming the Most Beautiful Child in the Ancient Clan

"Hey, don't be so nervous, it's just an ordinary gift."

With a wave of his hand, a shiny object flew across the air.

Gu Yuan reached out to catch it, took a closer look, and found that it was actually a storage ring!
"This contains a small gift from me to you two, but it's not suitable to be opened here. Please wait until you leave before looking at it.

As long as you see what's inside, I think you should understand."

Although Gu Yuan and Gu Lie frowned in confusion, they still did as Xiao Yuan asked. While allowing the coming-of-age ceremony to continue at the venue, they hurriedly escaped into the void.

Looking at the place where the two disappeared, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Oh, I didn't expect being a riddle teller could be so much fun. It's so torturous that you have to ask people to guess halfway through your story. I can't stop."

Xun'er was a little amused and confused after hearing this sadistic speech. She didn't know what expression to show.

But then, Xiao Yuan looked at her again and asked, "By the way, what did you say you wanted to tell me?"

Hearing this, Xun'er blinked and scanned the surroundings. After finding that no one was approaching, she whispered to him:
"Brother Xiao Yuan, although Gu Yao deserved his punishment, Xun'er doesn't think he's the real culprit. Although Gu Yao is usually extremely arrogant and doesn't take anyone seriously, he's not a fool.

And he still listens to his father and Uncle Gulie.

The ancient clan has repeatedly warned them, but the ancient demon still deliberately stepped forward. So Xun'er thought that someone must have bewitched the ancient demon behind the scenes, which led to today's scene.

"Wow, I didn't expect Xun'er to be so smart that she could guess this." Xiao Yuan deliberately made a surprised expression and exclaimed in a strange tone.

"Brother Xiao Yuan, please stop making fun of Xun'er."

The girl pouted in dissatisfaction and said unhappily, "Since you are mocking Xun'er like this, then Brother Xiao Yuan must know who the real culprit is?"

"Of course, but I want you to guess who that person is."

"Well"

Hearing this, Xun'er fell into a moment of silence, then slowly shook her head and said, "Sorry, Brother Xiao Yuan, Xun'er can't guess."

To be precise, it wasn't that she couldn't guess, but that she didn't dare to guess.

This matter concerns the fate of the ancient clan, how dare she speak carelessly.

Xiao Yuan naturally saw this and couldn't help but chuckle:
"Ha, you're really cautious. But don't worry about this matter. What do you think is in the ring I just gave your father?"

"What is it?"

Xun'er uttered this sentence subconsciously, but her voice paused.

Thinking of the soul power that Xiao Yuan had emitted before, and the faint smell of blood that emanated from his body when he came back, she seemed to have thought of something.

Could it be——

"Head?!"

Inside the ring were two bloody heads, the blood flowing out was still warm, and it was obvious that the victims had died not long ago.

But after Gu Yuan and Gu Lie took them out, they fell silent as they looked at the two heads.

Because they are very familiar with one of them.

“This should be the ancient sheep, right?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

After receiving Gu Yuan's dull answer, Gu Lie fell into silence again.

After a long moment, he finally uttered in a muffled voice, "But why did that person want to kill Gu Yang? Was it just because of that sentence in the void?"

This was arguably the most plausible reason Gu Lie could come up with. Offending a powerful being with a single word, leading to brutal murder or even the extermination of an entire clan, was a common occurrence in the Dou Qi Continent.

If this is true, then they should really consider how to deal with this big Buddha next, or pass this hot potato away.

But Gu Yuan shook his head and said, "No, I don't think so. Xiao Yuan is not such a petty person."

"And why?"

Gu Lie was still puzzled, and Gu Yuan also gave an answer -

"I have a bold guess. Elder Guyang must have betrayed our ancient clan."

"?"

Gu Lie was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then he retorted, "How is that possible?! Elder Gu Yang, wait, what is this?"

Before he could finish his words, the voice suddenly stopped.

Gu Yuan handed another head to Gu Lie, who immediately frowned and asked, "Is this the little ghost from the Soul Clan, Hun Ya?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Gu Yuan nodded.

One is the clan leader, and the other is the leader of the Black Annihilation Army. It can be said that they know everything about the guests visiting the ancient world.

Not to mention the secretly hostile clans like the Soul Clan, who are the focus of attention.

Unexpectedly, it was only a step behind.
Thinking of this, Gu Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "No wonder Xiao Yuan said that once we see what's inside, we'll understand, and he didn't let us take it out at the venue."

This is evidence of the collusion between Guyang and the Soul Clan. If it is brought out on the spot...
Their ancient clan might become a laughing stock among other big clans.

While Gu Yuan and Gu Lie were discussing how to deal with the Soul Clan next and how to thank Xiao Yuan, the coming-of-age ceremony had already begun again.

However, the host was changed from the three elders to the highly respected old man with white hair, white beard and white clothes, Elder Tongxuan.

Elder Tongxuan slowly descended from the sky, then turned his smiling gaze to the charming figure and said softly, "Xun'er, it's your turn."

"Then Brother Xiao Yuan, I'll go first."

"Well, come on, if that doesn't work, I'll give you a little cheat and make you the most beautiful kid in the ancient clan!"

"Humph, no need."

Xun'er raised her nose towards him and said playfully, "Even without Brother Xiao Yuan's help, I won't embarrass you with my own efforts. I will definitely become the most beautiful child!"

Elder Tongxuan, who had witnessed the entire flirting between the two, could only smile and wait for Xun'er to come to the center of the venue.

And when she said goodbye to Xiao Yuan, she landed in the field with lotus steps as light as a fluttering butterfly. The playful expression on her face disappeared in an instant, and a cool and indifferent temperament emanated from her from inside to outside, like a blooming lotus, even with a sense of otherworldliness and ethereality.

The fluttering azure blue long skirt made the girl look more heroic.

"Elder Tongxuan, we can begin now." Xun'er said in a cold voice.

"Okay, Xun'er, come on."

Elder Tongxuan nodded, then waved his hand, and a star plate about ten feet in size appeared in front of him and was handed to Xun'er.

Xun'er walked forward slowly, gently touched the star plate with her delicate hand, and then closed her beautiful eyes slightly.

As Xun'er's eyes closed, a little light slowly bloomed on her jade hands.

Under the illumination of these lights, the stars on the astrolabe also quietly emerged one by one.
