Mysterious Old Woman

"Young Master Xiao, this will be your residence."

Led by a Gu Clan guard, Xiao Yan arrived at a rather secluded house in the Gu Clan Main City. It had everything it should have, and aside from its somewhat antiquated decor, it was clear that it had been carefully prepared. This made Xiao Yan Breathe a Sigh of Relief.

At the very least, it proved that the Gu Clan did not have too bad an impression of him. If so, an alliance was not entirely beyond reach.

"Young Master Xiao, please rest well. I shall take my leave first."

The Gu Clan guard finished speaking and prepared to leave, but Xiao Yan suddenly called out to ask a question.

"May I walk around freely? I would like to see what the Gu Clan's city looks like."

"Um, you can, but I advise against it." The Gu Clan guard looked somewhat troubled. Under Xiao Yan's puzzled gaze, he explained, "Most of the Gu Clan's younger generation is somewhat displeased with you. If you wander the streets freely, they may cause you trouble."

"They're displeased with me? Why?"

Xiao Yan was utterly bewildered. He had never even met these so-called young members of the Gu Clan, so why were they displeased with him?

The Gu Clan guard's expression became conflicted at Xiao Yan's question.

Why were they displeased with him? Naturally, it was because of Miss Xun'er.

Because Xun'er had previously stood her ground and openly defied the Elders, practically no one in the clan was unaware of Xiao Yan's name now.

Some felt that Xiao Yan was unworthy of Xun'er, and so naturally regarded him with hostility.

Others felt that their Young Lady had already taken such initiative, yet Xiao Yan had shown no response whatsoever. Did he deserve Miss Xun'er?
