Han Feng and the others remained where they were.
After a while, Xiao Zhan finally came out of the room.
He solemnly handed a treasure box to Han Feng.
"Mr. Han, since you say it's a gift between friends, then you shouldn't refuse what I'm giving you."
Han Feng held the treasure box in his hand and was about to respond when his expression suddenly changed.
He looked at the treasure box in his hand and slowly opened it.
There was a jade fragment lying quietly inside.
Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade!
"Clan Chief Xiao, what is this?"
Han Feng was shocked.
You agreed to give this as a gift between friends, so why did you just give away the antique jade?
Xiao Zhan stroked his beard.
"Over the years, I've come to accept it. The Xiao family's current responsibility is to ensure the well-being of the next generation, not to protect a heirloom that could bring deadly danger to the clan."
“Mr. Han, I, Xiao Zhan, am incompetent and probably cannot protect this ancient jade. In that case, it would be better to hand it over to a powerful cultivator like you, who may find it useful.”
Han Feng looked at Xiao Zhan and sighed deeply.
"Chief Xiao has great courage."
He had explained the importance of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade a long time ago, but Xiao Zhan still chose to give it to himself.
Xiao Zhan smiled and said, "Actually, Mr. Han probably had the same idea, but you are an upright person and it is inconvenient for you to say it."
"When you told me about this back then, it happened so suddenly that I didn't really understand it. I've thought about it a lot over the years, and the more I think about it, the more I feel that I'm better off without it!"
Han Feng nodded.
"Although from my perspective, this thing is indeed more harmful than beneficial to the Xiao family, it is an heirloom and may have some important significance, but I cannot say more."
"However, since Chief Xiao has entrusted it to me, I will keep it safe."
Xiao Zhan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Han Feng accept the ancient jade.
Actually, he had this idea for a long time.
However, since Han Feng hasn't returned for so many years, he hasn't had the chance to give it to him.
"Clan Chief Xiao, please open the treasure box as well."
Han Feng said.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan opened the treasure box given to him by Han Feng and saw a fragrant pill inside.
Wow... This pill is definitely no ordinary one!
Xiao Zhan was inwardly amazed.
Such a rich fragrance of elixir indicates it's at least a fourth-grade elixir.
For the Xiao family, who lived in the small city of Wutan, fourth-grade pills were already a luxury.
Even as the head of the Xiao family, he couldn't say for sure that he had the financial resources to buy it.
"This is the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill, which can help a Great Dou Master advance to the next level."
Han Feng explained how to use the pill.
Xiao Zhan wrote them down one by one.
"Many thanks to Mr. Han for the pill. It is truly a timely help for me."
Not long ago, the Xiao family had a conflict with two other major families in the city. Although the Xiao family achieved a partial victory, the other side was still not very peaceful.
If Xiao Zhan could improve his cultivation at this time, he would definitely be able to completely intimidate those villains.
"Clan Chief Xiao, you are too kind. Compared to the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade you gave me, a mere fourth-grade pill is really not worth mentioning."
"It's a win-win situation. To be honest, if this ancient jade were sold at the Mittel Auction House, it probably wouldn't even fetch a hundred gold coins."
Broken jade is naturally not very valuable.
Its only value lies in its ability to store soul light points and determine the life or death of its master.
Han Feng felt a mix of helplessness and amusement upon hearing this.
In the eyes of the Soul Emperor, this thing is probably more important than his own lifeblood.
But in the hands of others, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's completely useless.
Even the best things are only useful when they meet the right person.
"Clan Chief Xiao, I must remind you, don't think that just because you handed over the ancient jade, the Soul Hall won't come knocking on your door. You still need to be vigilant."
Han Feng said.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan nodded emphatically.
"I saved it."
"Don't feel too much pressure, I will take care of you at all times."
Han Feng specially placed a spatial anchor point at the Xiao residence and set up a magic array to detect danger at all times, so that he could arrive at the scene immediately if there was any danger.
The two chatted for a while longer, then Han Feng remembered that Xun'er was still waiting for him, so he said goodbye and left.
As he walked through the Xiao residence, his thoughts were interrupted by the ancient jade he had suddenly acquired.
With this ancient jade, he had much more room to maneuver afterward.
At least we have a suitable reason to talk to the ancient tribes.
Visiting other prominent families also provided a stepping stone.
The most important thing is the Soul Clan. With the ancient jade, they have a trump card that makes the opponent hesitant to act.
Of course, all of this is based on Han Feng having great strength.
Otherwise, not only will they fail to protect the ancient jade, but they may also bring danger to themselves and those around them.
Back then, a Dou Huang was definitely not qualified; now, at the Dou Zun realm, he is barely qualified to roam.
Only by breaking through to the Dou Sheng realm will Han Feng truly be qualified to persuade various races and launch the Anti-Soul Plan.
Lost in thought, Han Feng arrived at Gu Xun'er's residence.
He heard a burst of laughter coming from inside.
After their initial conversation, Lin Xian'er and Gu Xun'er discovered that the conflict between them wasn't actually that deep.
It turns out that Gu Xun'er was only treated by Han Feng once when she was a child.
Her feelings for Han Feng were probably just that of a reliable elder.
Unlike myself, I've already developed some inappropriate thoughts...
Gu Xun'er also had a different opinion about Lin Xian'er.
It turns out that this girl is Mr. Han's apprentice.
so far so good......
Since he is an apprentice, there is naturally no need to worry about anything else happening.
Gu Xun'er has a somewhat unique way of thinking. She is very emotionally stable and usually doesn't pay attention to things.
The only time she felt uneasy was when she first came to the Xiao family as a child. In addition, the side effects of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame on her body caused her mood to fluctuate greatly.
Therefore, Han Feng's intrusion at that time had a profound impact on Gu Xun'er.
Even now that I'm older, I can't forget it.
Although Han Feng only spent a few days with her, those were precisely the days when she was most easily influenced.
Chapter 145 Important Clue
As soon as Han Feng stepped into the courtyard, a dark figure emerged from the corner of the wall.
Lingying.
Han Feng looked at the guard who was diligently protecting Gu Xun'er. The guard's aura was much stronger than it had been many years ago, but he was still at the Dou Huang stage, probably at the nine-star level.
Breaking through to the Dou Zong level is a difficult hurdle, and it's not uncommon for people to get stuck at this stage for several years or even decades.
However, Ling Ying, as the bodyguard of the young lady of the ancient clan, is somewhat mediocre in terms of talent.
Perhaps it was for other reasons that a Dou Huang was placed by Gu Xun'er's side.
"Mr. Han, it's been a long time."
Ling Ying greeted him.
"Mr. Ling."
Han Feng nodded slightly.
Ling Ying walked up to Han Feng, her eyes narrowing slightly beneath the mask.
"Your aura... has broken through to the Dou Zong level?"
Han Feng smiled without saying a word and nodded.
"Hehe, you're better than this old guy."
Ling Ying smiled.
"Elder Ling possesses a profound aura; he must be close to breaking through to the Dou Zong realm."
Han Feng returned the greeting.
"Did you come back this time just to visit, or...?"
"I just came to take a look, but I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."
Han Feng said.
"I'm afraid Miss Xun'er will be setting off in a few days."
"Is anyone from the ancient clan looking for her?"
Ling Ying hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Some people in the clan have already been urging us. Now that Miss has come of age, she should be going back."
"She didn't agree?"
"Ah."
After speaking, Ling Ying looked at Han Feng with a strange expression.
"because of you."
Han Feng paused, and sighed softly.
"Miss Xun'er is truly a person of deep affection."
"Only to you."
Ling Ying said.
"I have been by Miss's side all these years. She seems warm to others, but she always keeps her distance."
"She reads the books you gave her every day."
With each word Ling Ying spoke, Han Feng's heart grew heavier.
Compared to Xun'er's feelings for him, he had been somewhat negligent.
When we parted ways years ago, I thought that when we met again, we would only be nodding acquaintances.
But who would have thought...
The girl saw him as a source of comfort and solace.
Han Feng previously questioned whether it was inappropriate for the ancient clan chief to raise his daughter so freely.
