Father and daughter reunited

Nalan Yanran remained silent after hearing Xiao Yu's words, and the scene fell into a moment of silence.

Qing Lin walked up to Xiao Yu and said in a slightly coquettish tone, "Young Master Xiao Yu, why don't you show me around the Jia Nan Academy? I've never been this far before!"

Xiao Yu smiled faintly and said, "Alright, but I'm afraid I can't take you into the Inner Academy. Let's just stroll around the Outer Academy instead!"

Qing Lin nodded repeatedly. As long as she was with Young Master Xiao Yu, it didn't matter where they went.

So Xiao Yu and Xun'er led everyone on a stroll through the Outer Academy.

Qing Lin and Xun'er became quite intimate, holding hands as they talked, occasionally letting out a string of silvery laughter.

"By the way, how did you all suddenly end up at the Jia Nan Academy?" Xiao Yu asked Lu Man, who was walking beside him, with some confusion.

Lu Man looked at Xiao Yu and said thoughtfully, "To be honest, young master, we came to the Black Corner Region this time because someone invited us!"

"Oh?" Xiao Yu looked at Lu Man with some confusion.

Lu Man said, "Does the young master still remember the Yin-Yang Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill that you helped our Heavenly Snake Mansion obtain?"

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "Of course I remember. Weren't those pills prepared for Qing Lin?"

Lu Man continued, "That's right, that pill was indeed prepared by us for Little Qing Lin, but there were also auction conditions when it was auctioned off."

At this point, Xiao Yu suddenly realized that the Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill seemed to have been auctioned by the Eight Fan Sect at the Black Rock City auction on behalf of Han Feng, and the auction condition seemed to be that he had to agree to do the seller a favor!

"You mean, you were invited by Han Feng this time?" Xiao Yu asked, looking at Lu Man.

Lu Man looked at Xiao Yu in shock and said, "Young Master, you know?"

Xiao Yu nodded slightly and chuckled, "That Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill is Seventh-grade Pill. In the Black Corner Region, there are no alchemists who can refine it. Han Feng just obtained it from someone else!"

"What? Han Feng isn't the seller?" Lu Man was slightly surprised.

Xiao Yu slowly shook his head and said, "No, the person who auctioned the Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill was indeed Han Feng, but he didn't refine the pill."

As Xiao Yu spoke, he suddenly turned to look at Lu Man and asked, "How many people did your Heavenly Snake Mansion send this time?"

Lu Man didn't hide anything. "This time, only White Fang, Elder Qing, and Little Qing Lin came. If it weren't for Qing Lin insisting on coming, White Fang and I would have been fine!"

As she spoke, Lu Man glanced helplessly at Qing Lin, who was walking ahead Qing Lin stuck out her tongue slightly upon hearing Lu Man's words and continued chatting with Xun'er.

Xiao Yu laughed and said, "It's clear that Qing Lin is living well in your Heavenly Snake Mansion. When I first met her, her voice was very soft, and she seemed quite self-conscious. She rarely spoke to anyone, and even with me, she would only answer my questions briefly."

"She's become much stronger and more outgoing!"

Lu Man glanced at Qing Lin with some pity before turning to Xiao Yu and saying, "Qing Lin is now the Saintess of our Heavenly Snake Mansion. Perhaps after the Mansion Lord Mansion Lord emerges from seclusion, Qing Lin will inherit his mantle!"

"Mansion Lord Heavenly Serpent Palace? I know very little about your Heavenly Snake Mansion. Once your Mansion Lord emerges from seclusion, I will also make a visit to your Heavenly Snake Mansion!" Xiao Yu said with a smile.

Lu Man nodded naturally and said, "The Mansion Lord will certainly welcome you, Young Master!"

Xiao Yu didn't continue the topic, but instead said, "I think I understand why Han Feng summoned you this time. Are you still in contact with Han Feng?"

Lu Man looked at Xiao Yu with some surprise, then shook her head and said, "No, because we ran into her, we came directly to the Jia Nan Academy!"

Lu Man pointed to Nalan Yanran, who was walking silently to the side.

"However, we can go back to Black Seal City, where we can contact Yuan Yi, the leader of the Eight Fan Sect, who can get in touch with Han Feng!" Lu Man added.

Xiao Yu nodded to indicate that he understood, then said to Lu Man, "You all go back to Black Seal City later. Leave Elder Qing and Qing Lin here. You go to Black Seal City and contact Han Feng!"

Lu Man asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why is that?"

"Han Feng is preparing to take action against the Jia Nan Academy, perhaps soon. You should stay there for a while and wait for my news!" Xiao Yu said.

"Attack Jia Nan Academy?" Lu Man's face was full of disbelief. "To think that these few Dou Emperor can take action against the Jia Nan Academy is just wishful thinking!"

"Perhaps Han Feng has the confidence? Don't do anything after you go back. If they really make a move against the Jia Nan Academy, just come with them!" Xiao Yu shrugged and said, without mentioning the Fallen Heart Flame.

Lu Man nodded thoughtfully and said, "Alright, I'll lie in wait over there."

After Xiao Yu and Xun'er led them on a tour of the Outer Academy, they returned to the Inner Academy.

Qing Lin, Elder Qing, and Nalan Yanran all stayed in the Outer Academy.

After returning to the Inner Academy, Xiao Yu told Xiao Yan about Nalan Yanran's visit.

Xiao Yan said without any change in expression, "Come on then, perhaps it's to see Yun Yun?"

Xiao Yu and Xun'er exchanged a smile; they had said the same thing.

The two didn't say anything more and returned to their room. As soon as Xun'er opened the door, she saw a figure in blue standing inside.

The middle-aged man in the blue robe turned to look at Xun'er, a faint smile playing on his lips, and said, "Xun'er!"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Xun'er trembled, a look of joy appearing on her pretty face as she cried out, "Father!"

"You've been here for over ten years. This time, it's time for you to come back with me!" Gu Yuan said, looking at Xun'er.

Xun'er's expression changed. Looking at her father's resolute face, she sighed softly, "Was it suggested by the clan elders?"

Gu Yuan looked at his daughter, Xun'er, who was more mature than him because he hadn't been by her side since she was little, which made Gu Yuan feel sorry for her.

"This is not only the idea of the clan elders, but also my idea. Compared to the Central Plains, the energy of heaven and earth in the Northwest Continent is too barren. Only by returning to the clan, awakening your bloodline, and the Clan Mark can you do these things when you return to the clan!" Gu Yuan said to Xun'er.

Hearing Gu Yuan's words, Xun'er understood that as the daughter of the clan leader, she carried too many hopes on her shoulders, and sometimes she was simply powerless to change her fate.

"I understand. After things are settled here, I will return to the Gu Realm with my father!" Xun'er said, a hint of melancholy flashing in her eyes.

Gu Yuan patted Xun'er's head and said, "Let that kid come see me. I heard he has a Soul Jade fragment left behind by Xiao Xuan, and I have some questions I want to ask him about it!"

Upon hearing that her father wanted to see Xiao Yu, Xun'er felt a pang of panic, but quickly regained her composure and said, "Alright!"

Watching Xun'er push open the door and walk out, Gu Yuan's eyes deepened, and he murmured, "Xiao Xuan, my Ancient Clan truly owes you for what happened back then. If your descendant has good talent, I will take him back to the Ancient Clan to nurture him together!"
