A Supreme Treasure Appears in the Lower Realm
Nan Xunran's voice was calm. "Step back."
Both Long and Alkaid immediately lowered their heads, their movements perfectly synchronized.
The two replied in unison, "Yes."
Then, the two figures vanished like ghosts, disappearing as if they had never existed in this world.
The light and Alkaid completely disappeared from sight.
Wei Yan tilted her body slightly, her long, flowing hair cascading down gently, emitting a faint fragrance.
She leaned close to Nan Xunran's ear and whispered softly, "A-Ran, a supreme treasure will appear in the Lower Realm in seven days."
After a brief pause, she added, "The news will spread in three days."
Seeing that the two were discussing important matters, Shangguan Xieyue lowered her eyes slightly, placed her fingers on Nan Xunran's shoulder, and silently massaged his shoulder.
Jin Jinyu tilted her head slightly, her beautiful eyes darting around as she quietly observed the two of them.
Nan Xunran's gaze met Wei Yan's.
Wei Yan paused slightly, then said softly, "That treasure was obtained by you A-Ran, in your previous life."
Nan Xunran raised her eyebrows, a hint of confusion in her eyes.
Wei Yan frowned slightly and sighed helplessly, "That treasure must have chosen its own master. In my previous life, it chose the young lady of the Xiao Family in the Lower Realm."
That treasure possesses a spirit; none of us can approach it, and I have no idea what its true nature is.
Nan Xunran narrowed his eyes and asked, "Then how did I obtain that supreme treasure?"
Wei Yan shook her head slightly, a bitter smile appearing on her face, "This is all the information I have."
Nan Xunran silent for a moment, then decisively said, "Then I'll go take a look."
Wei Yan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
Then, she turned slightly to the side and added, "That supreme treasure has not yet appeared in the world; only I know the specific path."
Nan Xunran responded with a "Mm."
Heavenly Gate Realm
Xiao Family
Xiao Chen slowly withdrew from that profound state of enlightenment, and faint noises reached his ears.
He frowned slightly and walked to the door.
A person was seen lying close to the door, intently peering out.
Xiao Chen coughed lightly and asked, "Why is it so lively outside?"
The man's eyes were fixed on the doorway, and without turning his head, he said, "A great figure from the Upper Realm has arrived!"
Xiao Chen was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously repeated, "A big shot from the Upper Realm?"
The man remained pressed against the door, motionless, and exclaimed excitedly, "That's right, it's two young adults!"
Xiao Chen clasped his hands on his chest and asked in confusion, "Why did they come here?"
The man replied somewhat impatiently, "How would I know!"
Then, he said with great excitement, "But the fact that they will be staying temporarily in our Xiao Family is truly a wonderful thing!"
Xiao Chen curled his lip, dismissing it, and said, "What's there to be happy about?"
The man suddenly stood up straight, glaring at him angrily, and said, "What do you know! The lords of the Upper Realm would easily give us a little benefit, enough to live a carefree life for the rest of our lives!"
Xiao Chen's expression was cold, and he said firmly, "It's better to rely on yourself than on others."
The man rolled his eyes dramatically and sneered, "Oh, right, right, you're so high and mighty, so pure and untainted by the mud."
After saying that, she ignored Xiao Chen and focused all her attention back on the door.
Xiao Chen was filled with rage. He strode forward and forcefully shoved the man aside.
The man was stunned by the sudden, forceful shove, and his body involuntarily staggered back a few steps.
Then he hurriedly dodged to the side, furiously shouting, "Xiao Chen, what's wrong with you?!"
Then, he lowered his voice and said nervously, "Close the door quickly!!"
The clan chief repeatedly warned us that those of us with low cultivation must never show ourselves in front of the adults!
Xiao Chen ignored him and looked straight outside. When he saw the girl next to Nan Xunran, he froze instantly.
After a long while, he murmured with trembling lips, "... Yin'er?"
Xiao Xueyin noticed Xiao Chen the moment he opened the door, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes when she heard his call.
"Brother Chen, why are you out here?"
At this moment, the Lineage's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He angrily shouted, "Xiao Chen, get back here right now!"
Xiao Chen stubbornly walked out, his face full of resentment.
He stared intently at the clan leader and demanded loudly, "What exactly are you doing? Making Yin'er accompany these so-called important figures?!"
Then, his tone became increasingly aggressive, "How old is Yin'er? Are you really senile?!"
Xiao Xueyin hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed him, "... No, Brother Chen, it's not what you think!"
Xiao Chen was furious and mercilessly flung Xiao Xueyin's hand away, making a move to continue his outburst.
Upon seeing this, the Lineage's face turned ashen, and he was furious.
He flashed forward, raised his hand, and with a crisp "slap," delivered a heavy blow to Xiao Chen's face.
Xiao Chen's face was turned to one side by the slap, and it felt as if countless bees were buzzing wildly in his head.
