Wutan City, a mid-sized city in the Gamma Empire.

Originally, there were only two major families in the city: the Jia Lie Family and the Ao Ba Family. About a hundred years ago, a family called the Xiao Family, led by a Dou Wang from the Gamma Empire, moved into this city. Since then, they have resided here permanently, becoming the foremost family in Wutan City.

However, ever since that Dou Wang expert (Xiao Lin) died, the Xiao Family, the foremost family in Wutan City, had to yield its position, which was then acquired by the Jia Lie Family. Even so, the Xiao Family still firmly held its position as the third largest family in Wutan City. Whenever pedestrians passed by the Xiao Family's mansion, they still felt a sense of respect for this family that once had a Dou Wang expert guarding it.

"Where did this child come from? Don't loiter in front of the Xiao Family's gate!"

When Hun Han and Xiao Xun'er arrived at the entrance of a mansion with two large lions at the gate, red walls, and yellow tiles, the guards at the entrance shouted at them.

Xiao Xun'er's jade finger touched her Storage Ring. With a flick of her finger, she took out a red invitation and handed it to the guard. She said softly, "This is an invitation from the head of the Xiao Family in Gao An City. The Xiao Family of Gao An City has become history. The Clan Leader of the Xiao Family in Gao An City entrusted me to your Xiao Family in Wutan City before his death. Please deliver this to your Clan Leader."

"The Xiao Family of Gao An City has become history?"

Just then, a deep and powerful voice came from behind Hun Han. Hun Han turned his head and saw a middle-aged man in brocade clothes, accompanied by a four-year-old child, slowly walking towards them.

The four-year-old child had a delicate appearance. However, the light emanating from his eyes was clearly not in line with his age.

"Clan Leader!"

Facing the newcomer, the guards at the gate called out respectfully.

"Clan Leader?"

Hun Han and Xiao Xun'er both looked at the middle-aged man in surprise. This person was actually the current Clan Leader of the Xiao FamilyXiao Zhan.

Hun Han's gaze fell on the child beside the middle-aged man. He thought to himself: If this person is Xiao Zhan, then this child must be the future Flame Emperor, Xiao Yan, who fought fiercely with my cheap father!

At this moment, the four-year-old child's gaze was scrutinizing Xiao Xun'er beside Hun Han with surprise. A complex look flashed across the former's eyes. Immediately, his deep gaze seemed to be calculating something internally!

"Clan Leader, this person claims to have an invitation from the head of the Xiao Family in Gao An City!" The guard respectfully handed the red invitation in his hand to Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan nodded slightly and glanced at Xiao Xun'er. Then, he began to read the contents of the invitation.

The content of the invitation was nothing more than that the head of a family in Gao An City had a sudden surge in cultivation and attacked. The head of the Xiao Family in Gao An City fought his way out. On the verge of death from his severe injuries, he encountered Ling Ying and Xiao Xun'er. Ling Ying proposed that if he wrote a letter of recommendation for Xiao Xun'er to reside in the Xiao Family of Wutan City from then on, she would help him eliminate the attacker. Afterwards, with the intervention of Ling Ying, a Dou Huang expert, that so-called family was naturally not worth mentioning and was easily annihilated by Ling Ying. This led to the current situation.

With the power of one person, an entire major family was annihilated!

Xiao Zhan looked at Xiao Xun'er with awe. Although the little girl in front of him was only four years old, the power she possessed behind her was chilling.

In Xiao Zhan's heart, it was impossible not to harbor any suspicion. Such a powerful person, would she still need to reside in his humble Xiao Family!

Despite his doubts, facing Xiao Xun'er and looking at the blood-stained letter in his hand, Xiao Zhan asked, "What is your name?"

Xiao Xun'er replied softly, "Xiao Xun'er."

"Xiao Xun'er!"

Xiao Zhan murmured the name, stepped onto the stairs, and said, "Come in with me. From now on, you will be a member of my Xiao Family."

Hearing this, Xiao Xun'er looked at Hun Han with reluctance in her eyes and said, "Brother Han Hun, I have to go in now."

Hun Han nodded, handed a box of Foundation Lollipops to Xiao Xun'er, and instructed, "Take these with you."

Xiao Xun'er took the brocade box with both hands and asked, "Will you come to see me in the future?"

Hun Han nodded and said, "Yes, I will come to see you here after I go to the Exploding Heaven Gang."

In the Black Corner Region, Hun Han had a Location Sign-in mission. Only after completing this sign-in mission would a new mission be refreshed.

Xiao Xun'er gazed at Hun Han and said, "You can't lie to me, okay?"

Hun Han flicked Xiao Xun'er's nose and said with a smile, "Silly girl, I would rather lie to myself than lie to my sister Xun'er. However, there is one thing you must forgive me for!"

Hearing this, Xiao Xun'er pouted and asked curiously, "What is it? Are you going back on your word now?"

Hun Han shook his head and said, "It's not about that. I'll tell you when the time is right. Go in, don't keep them waiting. Also, remember to protect yourself!"
