"Xun'er, is he also from Ancient Clans?" Xiao Yan was obviously surprised.
"Yeah." Liuli secretly glanced at Xiao Yan's expression and saw that he didn't have much emotion. He said with some confusion, "I thought you would be shocked."
"I have long known that this girl's identity is not simple, and I am mentally prepared. But I did not expect that her identity is so prominent." Xiao Yan smiled bitterly, and gradually understood something in his heart.
It seems that Xun'er came to our Xiao Family, isn't it a coincidence? The target of the family behind her is probably also Tou She Ancient God Jade in herself.
"Don't have too many thoughts. People from the Ancient Clan have been paying close attention to you all these years and have arranged for members of the clan to be at the Xiao Family. This also prevents other forces from taking direct action, which is a disguised form of protection." Liuli was also afraid that his words would damage the relationship between Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er, so he explained immediately.
Xiao Yan nodded. If Ancient Clan wants to take action, this piece of Ancient Jade will no longer be in their Xiao Family hands. And with the polish of the relationship between Xun'er and him, Xiao Yan doesn't have much resistance.
"So, what is the attitude of Ancient Clans where you are?" Xiao Yan asked. This question is related to his choice of attitude towards Liuli.
"Uh, how should I put it..." Liuli scratched his head, and for a moment he didn't know how to describe them Sword Clan.
After all, in Original Work, there is no setting like Sword Clan.
It's just that her stinky dad and the senior members of the clan don't seem to be very interested in Tou She Ancient God Jade.
"Let me tell you this, do you know why Tou She Ancient God Jade is divided into nine parts?" Liuli thought for a while and began to speak.
"Why?"
"Because it was split by my Sword Clan's Great-Grandfather Clan Leader. Sword Clan didn't want to die at that time, but Central Continent was raging at the time, and we couldn't be alone. So the ancestor participated in the fight, and took the opportunity to split Ancient Jade into nine pieces with one sword, and then the clan gave up.
After listening to this, what do you think our clan's attitude is towards Tou She Ancient God Jade? "Liuli asked after explaining.
Great-Grandfather Clan Leader, her great-grandfather, is also a nine-star peak Dou Sheng. As for not mentioning her kinship with him, it was also because she didn't want Xiao Yan to know her Young Clan Leader of the Sword Clan identity.
Xiao Yan was in a daze for a while. One sword ended an unprecedented battle. Is this the charm of the peak powerhouse?
"How's it going? Awesome!" Liuli saw Xiao Yan's yearning, and puffed up his chest proudly, humming.
"Ahem, so you Sword Clan have no idea about Ancient Jade? Then why did you say you walked in with me and said it was related to Ancient Jade." Xiao Yan came back to his senses, coughed, and forced the topic to pass.
"Sword Clan doesn't need it, but it doesn't mean that other Ancient Clans forces are salivating over it, such as Soul Clan. I'm close to you to protect you and not let your Ancient Jade and his life were lost like this. At that time, the balance was broken, and another bloody storm was going to happen in the mainland. Do you understand?" Liuli lost his shyness as he chatted, and let go of the quilt, revealing a white coat underneath.
Xiao Yan did not answer directly. He pondered for a long time, and finally nodded seriously and said sincerely, "Thank you! It was my fault for speculating on the girl's motives before."
If Sword Clan is a huge force on the mainland that protects order, then all this will be explained. The girl in front of her approached her with the initial purpose of getting closer to him, and then either to protect her Ancient Jade from being taken away by other interested people; or, to use gentle methods to exchange for it with kindness.
"Uh-huh! I forgive you." Liuli nodded with great satisfaction. His confidence suddenly came up. He stood up slightly, patted Xiao Yan's shoulder, and said sincerely:
"Xiao Yan! Although I picked you up for some purpose, my friendship for you is sincere. This friendship cannot be exchanged for any benefits. No matter what happens in the future, this friendship will remain unchanged!"
Xiao Yan looked directly into the girl's eyes, with a smile on her lips, nodded and replied, "Okay!"
Liuli The stone in his heart finally let go, and his somewhat tense body softened.
Fortunately, okay, Xiao Yan is an easy person to talk to. If you give him sincerity and warmth, he will fully accept it and give you something in return.
"Then, let's get acquainted again." Liuli smiled playfully and stretched out his white jade hand, "My name is Gongsun Liuli. Nice to meet you!"
Xiao Yan held it very cooperatively, and the silky touch made him squeeze it subconsciously. He said seriously, "Me too, Xiao Family Xiao Yan, nice to meet you!"
The two looked at each other, and then laughed out loud.
"Oh, by the way, do you know why I, Xiao Family, got this Jade Slip? This thing should be Ancient Clans's family treasure!" Xiao Yan took back his hand and asked casually.
"Uh." This seemingly random question stumped Liuli again.
Should she tell him the truth in advance now? Is it too early?
Seeing Liuli's squirming look, Xiao Yan cast a puzzled look.
"Little guy, I know something about the situation here." At this time, Old Yao's voice rose from Xiao Yan's mind.
"Teacher?" Xiao Yan was a little surprised and shouted in his heart.
"What I know is that it's not a big secret. If you go to the Central Continent and check some ancient books, you can find clues.
This Ancient Clans is said to have nine major ones, but in fact, only eight remain today. And the name of this disappeared family is 'Xiao Clan'! "
Xiao Yan was shocked and said, "You mean, we, Xiao Family, might be the descendants of Ancient Clans Xiao Clan?"
"The fact that you have Tou She Ancient God Jade proves that it is very possible. But it cannot be ruled out that it is a branch. After all, Xiao Clan suddenly disappeared thousands of years ago, and finally disappeared in the long river of history." Old Yao replied.
Liuli hesitated for a while, but finally decided not to say it. After all, these are not things that Xiao Yan can touch now. So, she said in an apologetic voice, "I'm sorry! I may..."
"Oh, it's okay, I just asked!" However, Xiao Yan waved his hand as if he didn't need to care.
Liuli frowned slightly, a little confused as to why Xiao Yan lost interest in this matter again.
But she immediately thought that this guy still had this old man living in his ring! He must have said he answered Xiao Yan's question.
The girl also breathed a sigh of relief. This matter was answered by Old Yao, which is naturally the best. First of all, his status in Xiao Yan's heart is extremely high, and the credibility of his words is unmatched by others. Secondly, there are many people in the Central Continent who know about the Xiao Clan, but only a very small number of people in Ancient Clans know the reason for his sudden disappearance. Therefore, Old Yao most likely doesn't know about this matter, so he won't tell it.
Afterwards, Xiao Yan asked many more questions, including the situation on the mainland, the territories outside Northwest Region, and some experiences in spiritual practice.
Liuli He said what he should say outright, and what he shouldn't say, he just laughed it off.
Before we knew it, we were chatting until dusk.
"Ah! It's so late." Liuli looked at the scenery outside the window and said in surprise.
"Yes." Xiao Yan nodded. The harvest from chatting with this girl this afternoon was as good as his six months of practice.
This is not an improvement in cultivation, but a broadening of horizons.
He is no longer the kid who only limited his sights to the Jia Ma Empire, a place that is only a small area compared to the mainland. This world is a little bigger than he imagined.
Boundless Snowfield of the North, the three-foot-tall Barbarian Race and the giants who are ten feet away per person; Southern Border tens of thousands of mountains and eighty thousand Demon Race; Eastern Domain the vast sea and hundreds of thousands of scattered islands; these are all things he has never heard of before.
"Then I'll leave first. Let's talk when we have time." Xiao Yan stood up from the chair and waved goodbye to the girl.
Liuli nodded and said with a smile, "I'm not in the right state to send you off now, so walk slowly!"
"Okay!"
"Huh! This troublesome matter is finally solved!"
After Xiao Yan left, Liuli finally relaxed completely, stretched out, and lay flat on the bed a little weakly.
At this time, she only felt as if something soft was pressing on her back.
Then, she got up gently again and turned around to take a look. A lolita dressed in white was lying on her bed, hugging a small jade item, and fell asleep contentedly.
"Zi Yan? Oh! I forgot about her while chatting." Seeing her sleeping soundly, Liuli rubbed his head helplessly.
"Huh?" At this time, she discovered Jade Bottle in her hand.
She quickly pulled it out, uncorked the bottle, and poured it down.
Nothing...
"These are four Fifth-grade Pill! Did this little guy show off in one breath?" Liuli seemed to have blue veins popping out on his head.
"Zi Yan!"
