"An undercover agent?"

When Hun Xiu heard the little girl's words, he was briefly stunned. Then, as if recalling something, he looked at her and asked, "Xun'er, you... want to go undercover? What's going on?"

He had already roughly guessed it. At Gu Xun'er's age, it was about time for her to go to the Xiao Clan.

Hun Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly, a trace of ruthlessness surfacing within them.

Gu Xun'er was now his fiancée, his child bride. He would not just stand by and watch her go to the Xiao Clan, only for her to cuckold him in the end.

What did men fear most? Being called mediocre, and being cuckolded. It was merely a color, but if it landed on one's own head, that was absolutely unacceptable.

He trusted the little girl before him, but he absolutely did not trust that other fellow.

No matter what kind of "concern" he had, if Gu Xun'er became Xiao Xun'er and went to the Xiao Clan—

Then there was a very high chance that he would be cuckolded. There was no suspense about it.

He had to stop all of this from happening. He did not want green on his head. Used properly, it was fashion.

Used improperly?

It might become a hat.

Hearing Hun Xiu's question, the little girl shook her head. "No... Father said I can't tell."

As she said this, she first looked around. After making sure no one was nearby, she leaned close to Hun Xiu's ear and whispered secretly.

She seemed terrified that someone might overhear her. The sight was rather adorable, making Hun Xiu laugh.

He rubbed her little head and smiled gently. "Alright... then just tell me secretly. Wouldn't Father-in-law never find out?"

But inwardly, he thought something else. What an adorable little girl!

"Oh..."

The little girl felt that Hun Xiu's words made sense. If she secretly told Brother Hun Xiu, wouldn't Father never find out?

Yet after thinking it over with her little head, she still felt it was not right.

Shaking her head, she said, "No... Brother Xiu'er, I can't tell you. Father said I can't tell anyone else."

"Hehe..."

Hearing Gu Xun'er's words, Hun Xiu could not help finding it amusing. He murmured inwardly, With vigilance like this, it's no wonder she can be an undercover agent. There's a reason for it.

He leaned close to her ear and softly said, "Tell Brother. Brother won't tell Father-in-law, so wouldn't he never know?"

After speaking, a feeling of guilt rose up within Hun Xiu.

"Oh..."

Upon hearing Hun Xiu's words, the little girl's eyes instantly lit up. She felt that Brother Hun Xiu was right.

If she told him, and he did not say anything or tell Father, then no one would know.

She looked at Hun Xiu with an adorable expression. "Brother Xiu'er, you really won't tell Father?"

Her large, round eyes stared at Hun Xiu, sparkling brightly. With her exquisite features and adorable expression, she was simply the little padded jacket every person wanted.

"Mm..."

Hun Xiu nodded seriously and even made a "hawthorn" gesture. He said earnestly, "Brother swears that if Xun'er tells Brother, Brother won't tell Father-in-law or anyone else."

The moment he said those words, the stench of guilt came crashing down on him, enclosing him completely.

"That's good."

Seeing Hun Xiu make such a promise, the little girl leaned close to his ear. After vigilantly looking around once more, she finally whispered, "Father told Xun'er that Xun'er has to go undercover, and I won't be able to see Brother Hun Xiu again after that."

"Once Xun'er completes her mission, I'll be able to stay with Brother Hun Xiu every day."

After saying that, the little girl looked unhappy. She gazed at her Brother Hun Xiu with a pitiful, aggrieved expression.

She waited for her Brother Hun Xiu to comfort her.

She was still so young. She did not want to go undercover, much less go somewhere so far away, and even less did she want to leave her Brother Hun Xiu.

Xun'er felt wronged. Xun'er was only a baby, but Xun'er was strong. Xun'er would not cry.

"That's it?"

Hearing her words, Hun Xiu was slightly stunned. Didn't that make no difference from saying nothing?

"Mhm!"

The little girl nodded adorably.

She looked at Hun Xiu with an aggrieved expression. She was so adorable that one could not help wanting to protect her.

"Good girl..."

Hun Xiu rubbed her little head with a smile, then gave her cheek a firm pinch.

It could not be helped.

With such an adorable little girl, how could he not pinch her cheeks?

He also understood that the place the little girl was going this time was undoubtedly the Xiao Clan. As for her undercover mission, it was naturally for the Tou She Ancient God Jade held by the Xiao Clan.

The little girl only knew that she was going undercover. As for where she was going and what her mission was, she did not yet know.

Seeing her expression, Hun Xiu knew that she was unwilling to go. He gently asked, "Does Xun'er not want to be an undercover agent?"

"Mhm!"

Hearing Hun Xiu's words, the little girl vigorously nodded her head. Then, as if remembering something, she hurriedly shook it again.

The nodding and shaking of her head, that adorable motion, once again won Hun Xiu's "love."

He rubbed her little head and asked, "So does Xun'er want to go or not?"

Xun'er said aggrievedly, "Of course Xun'er doesn't want to be an undercover agent, but Father said that if Xun'er doesn't go, I won't be able to see Brother Hun Xiu again in the future."

"Xun'er doesn't want that... Xun'er wants to see Brother Hun Xiu... Xun'er wants Brother Hun Xiu to be a horse for Xun'er to ride... Sob, sob, sob..."

At this point, the little girl was so aggrieved that tears fell from her eyes. She looked pitiful and lovable.

She hugged Hun Xiu's head, deeply reluctant to part with him.

Since she had already told her Brother Hun Xiu, it did not matter if she told him everything.

In any case, he would not tell Father. No one would ever know that she had said it.

Hun Xiu patted the little girl's back and comforted her. "Don't worry, Xun'er. Brother won't leave you."

Yet inwardly, he smiled bitterly in helplessness. Is this little girl reluctant to part with me, or reluctant to part with having me be her horse?

That was a question, one worth seriously considering.

He had another question.

Why did Gu Yuan, that bargain father-in-law of his, insist on making the little girl go undercover? She was only a child, still so young.

Was it really appropriate for her to go undercover like this?

Couldn't he send someone else? Could the Gu Clan really have no one else? Gu Yuan: I'd like to, too! But other than my own daughter, who else can I trust? You?

What Hun Xiu did not know was that the Tou She Ancient God Jade was extremely important to the eight clans. Although the Xiao Clan had declined—

They had left the Central Plains and gone to the edge of the continent to eke out an existence, but aside from the Gu Clan, no one knew where the Xiao Clan was now.

Gu Yuan was determined to obtain the Xiao Clan's Tou She Ancient God Jade. After all, Xiao Xuan had promised it to him.

The Gu Clan certainly had other people, but Gu Yuan did not trust them very much. Within the Gu Clan, perhaps the only one he could trust was his daughter.

At the same time, he wanted his daughter to have a complete childhood. Because of her status in the Gu Clan, no one was willing to play with her.

Sending her to the Xiao Clan as an undercover agent was, in truth, all for her.
