"Hehe, no need for such formalities!"
Before Xiao Yan, Xiao Chen was no longer as cold as he had been earlier. His manner was exceptionally easygoing.
Especially after learning that Xiao Yan might very well abduct the Gu Clan's most talented Divine Grade Bloodline of this generation back to the Xiao Clan as a wife, Xiao Chen's attitude improved even further. The more he looked at Xiao Yan now, the more pleasing he found him.
"Xiao Yan, after the Gu Clan's coming-of-age ceremony, there is still one matter to attend to—the matter I mentioned to you before!" Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"It's about the Heavenly Tomb, right?" Xiao Yan replied.
"Correct!" Xiao Chen nodded. "The opening of the Heavenly Tomb is common knowledge. There are only sixteen entry slots in total. Each of the Eight Ancient Clans has two slots, but the Spirit Clan did not send anyone this time, leaving two slots vacant.

"Ancestor Xiao Chen, I..."
Hearing Xiao Chen place his hopes
