Xiao (Gu) Chuxue, Gu Xun'er the Devoted Daughter

Upon hearing Zi Yu agree, both Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yu were overjoyed!

"Thank you for honoring us with your presence, Young Master Zi Yu! This way, please, you and the young ladies..."

Xiao Zhan said respectfully.

Not far away, an elderly man dressed in gray, with graying hair and beard, let out a faint sigh.

"Alas! Such a peerless young genius cannot be tied down by Yu'er alone. It seems this old man must find time to have a proper talk with Yu'er."

After sighing, the old man also left.

Xiao Mansion!

After Xiao Zhan invited Zi Yu and his group into the residence, a small incident occurred.

Zi Yu, Ling Qingzhu, Gu Xun'er, Miao Ke'er, and Dongfang Jing had barely entered Xiao Mansion when they encountered a young girl.

The girl wore a light blue gauze dress, with a white silk ribbon draped over her shoulders. Her dark hair fell loosely over both shoulders, lending her a gentle charm. She had bright eyes, pearly teeth, and a lovely, refined face. Her features were fair and delicate, her skin crystalline like jade, and her graceful figure had captivating curves. Elegant and otherworldly, exquisitely beautiful, she gave off an air of pure and delicate beauty.

There was no doubt that she was also a top-tier beauty!

Although her appearance could not compare to Ling Qingzhu and Gu Xun'er, she was still an exceedingly rare beauty.

She was roughly on par with Xiao Yu, but Xiao Yu possessed a pair of long, exquisite jade-like legs.

That was something the young girl could not match!

When the girl saw Xiao Zhan leading several unfamiliar people, accompanied by several young members of the clan, she curiously asked in a soft voice, "Hello, Uncle Zhan! These people are...?"

Hearing her question, Xiao Zhan replied warmly, "Chuxue, these are guests Uncle Zhan invited. And this Young Master Zi Yu is your cousin Xiao Yu's lifesaver."

Then Xiao Zhan continued introducing her to Zi Yu. "Young Master Zi Yu, she is one of the most gifted among the younger generation of our Xiao Clan. Her name is Xiao Chuxue. The two of you can get acquainted."

Zi Yu smiled and greeted her, "Hello, Miss Xiao Chuxue!"

"Hello, Young Master Zi Yu! I'm very happy to meet you."

Upon seeing Zi Yu's face, Xiao Chuxue was momentarily dazed.

There is actually such a handsome young man in this world?

Seeing Xiao Chuxue lose herself like that, Xiao Zhan inwardly sighed.

As expected of a peerless young genius! He actually made even a proud little girl like Chuxue reveal such girlish feelings!

However, Xiao Chuxue quickly recovered her composure.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhan spoke at just the right moment. "All right! Let's not stand around here. Shall we all head into the main hall first? Someone, instruct the kitchen to prepare a banquet. Hurry!..."

"Yes, Clan Leader!..."

After Xiao Zhan finished speaking, a servant hurriedly ran toward the kitchen to relay the order.

As everyone walked toward the main hall—

Zi Yu communicated with the system.

"System! What is going on with this Xiao Chuxue? I saw that she actually has the cultivation of a two-star Dou Zhe. Is she from the Gu Clan?"

Hearing him, the system said blandly, "In reply to Great Host! Yes, Xiao Chuxue is from the Gu Clan!"

After receiving the system's confirmation, Zi Yu was somewhat surprised.

He had not expected that after the system brought Gu Xun'er to his side, the Gu Clan would still send someone else to the Xiao Clan to steal the Ancient Jade.

However, it seemed they were destined to return empty-handed.

It was just that the relationship between Xiao Chuxue and Xiao Yan...

Thinking of this, Zi Yu asked again, "System! What is the relationship between Xiao Chuxue and Xiao Yan?"

"In reply to Great Host! Xiao Chuxue and Xiao Yan have an ordinary relationship!..."

Hearing this, Zi Yu was somewhat surprised.

It seems even the protagonist's halo doesn't work!

After giving it some thought, Zi Yu understood.

That made sense! Xiao Chuxue was not Xun Er. Not every girl was as much of a Love Brain as Xun Er!

Having figured that out, Zi Yu no longer concerned himself with the matter.

As for whether Xiao Chuxue, being from the Gu Clan, would discover Xun Er's identity?

Sorry! He did not need to worry about that at all!

As long as Gu Xun'er did not reveal her identity to Xiao Chuxue, the other party would not discover it.

And given that girl's personality, she absolutely would not reveal her identity.

Therefore, Zi Yu did not need to concern himself with this matter at all.

No matter what, Xiao Chuxue would never have imagined that the Gu Clan's treasured young lady, the daughter of the Gu Clan Leader, was right before her.

On the other side, Gu Xun'er secretly glanced at Xiao Chuxue, and a trace of panic flashed through her heart.

By now, she had completely remembered.

The Xiao Clan before her was the very Xiao Clan her father, Gu Yuan—the Gu Clan Leader—had mentioned before she left home.

And Xiao Chuxue was not a member of the Xiao Clan. She should be from the Gu Clan.

That was right! After consuming the Nine Revolutions Divine Lotus Seed, the bloodline of her clan within her body had completely stabilized, even reaching a perfect state!

Thus, the current Gu Xun'er could sense anyone who was also from the Gu Clan.

Therefore, the moment Gu Xun'er saw Xiao Chuxue, she had already confirmed that the latter was from the Gu Clan.

However, she could not acknowledge her now. Otherwise, she would have to leave her Brother Zi Yu, and might even bring him unnecessary trouble or perhaps even endanger his life.

During the six years she had spent with Zi Yu, she had indeed initially thought about finding a way to return to her clan.

But as time passed, Gu Xun'er's desire to return to the clan gradually faded. At the same time, she discovered that she had become increasingly dependent on her Brother Zi Yu and did not want to be separated from him.

Yet she felt no resistance toward this. Instead, she was willing to sink even deeper into it.

By now, not only had she abandoned the thought of returning to her clan, she even felt somewhat resistant to doing so.

There was no other reason. It was simply because she had already fallen deeply in love with her Brother Zi Yu.

She was also afraid that if the people of her clan discovered her, she would be forced to leave. That was not something she wished to see.

However! What Gu Xun'er did not know was that her Brother Zi Yu was far from ordinary.

She knew even less that Sister Dongfang Jing, whom she had always deeply respected, was a genuine Dou Saint-level powerhouse!

Thus, she was letting her concern cloud her judgment!

Still, in order to avoid having her identity discovered by the people of her clan, she chose to keep her distance from Xiao Chuxue as much as possible and never let the other party notice anything.

At this moment, Gu Xun'er even felt a little resentful toward her father. Why had he sent members of the clan here?

Poor Gu Yuan—if he knew that his precious daughter, who had been missing for so long, harbored such thoughts, who knew how he would feel?

Not long after!

Once the banquet was over, Zi Yu left the Xiao Clan with the four women.
