Xiao Yan does have the capital to be proud of. He practiced Qi at the age of four, had Ninth Stage Dou Qi at the age of ten, broke through the tenth level Dou Qi at the age of eleven, successfully condensed Dou Qi Vortex, and became a Dou Zhe, the youngest member of the family within a hundred years, has a reputation of genius throughout Wutan City. Even Misty Cloud Sect extended an olive branch and intended to recruit him to become an inner disciple, but he declined.

He doesn't like the atmosphere of the sect, and once a force like the sect enters, it's not that easy to get out.

Compared to the so-called sectarian forces, Xiao Yan prefers to stay in the family and stay with his family members. After living in Wutan City for more than ten years, he is extremely satisfied with everything at the moment and does not want to engage in meaningless fights.

In other words, he likes his current comfort zone and doesn't want to step out of it for the time being.

As for the future.

Xiao Yan is not in a hurry. He is still young and his body is not fully developed. Dou Qi is also in a state of steady improvement. It doesn't hurt to consider it in a few years. At that time, he may follow Xiao Yu's suggestion and enter Jia Nan Academy to study for a period of time.

However, at present, his age and Dou Qi cultivation level are not yet able to support him to see a wider world.

"Next, Xiao Xun'er!"

The voice of the tester in the distance interrupted Xiao Yan's thoughts, causing him to involuntarily focus on a girl. She was a girl in a light purple dress. She was elegant and independent, with a calm and tender face, with a cool and elegant look, just like Green Lotus's first bloom.

She already has a good temperament at a young age, and it is hard to imagine how she will become the most powerful person in the world when she becomes an adult...

The girl walked out and instantly attracted everyone's attention. At the same time, many teenagers looked at her crazily and couldn't help but be attracted to her. Even Xiao Yan was the same. After all, this girl's appearance and temperament were undoubtedly a bit higher than Xiao Mei beside her.

No matter whether a man is young or old, there is no one who is not lewd.

"Mei'er knows that Xiao Yan Gege prefers sister Xun'er~" Xiao Mei noticed the changes around her, especially the eyes of Xiao Yan next to her, which made her feel a strong jealousy in her heart. Her shallow eyebrows were slightly clustered, and she said coquettishly and aggrievedly.

"Ahem, what are you talking about!" Xiao Yan coughed immediately after hearing this, retracted his eyes from Xiao Xun'er, and said calmly.

However, his eyes still glanced at the direction of Xiao Xun'er from time to time. There was a saying that Xun'er was getting taller and more graceful. He didn't notice it when he was a child. He only felt that the little girl was unsociable and a little pitiful. With the soul of an adult, he would naturally take care of this 'lonely' little sister.

As she grows older, Xiao Xun'er becomes more and more graceful, with excellent temperament and appearance. Wutan City Many young men have heard of her name, and some even climb over the wall to take a peek. Her personality seems to be becoming more and more quiet and cool.

When I was a kid, I could still get in touch with it a little bit, but now I have a lot more contact with it.

In this regard, Xiao Yan was also helpless. He tried to contact the other party to enhance their feelings, but Xiao Xun'er did not change his attitude. He was still so polite and rarely showed the expression that a girl should have.

After trying a few times, Xiao Yan gave up. He was not so fascinated by a girl that he couldn't walk.

He also has his own pride.

Xiao Mei smiled sweetly and did not continue to say anything embarrassing to Xiao Yan. She was a caring little sister. He looked at the girl walking in front of Magic Stone Tablet in the distance and said with some comparison, "I wonder if sister Xun'er's strength has improved this time."

As she finished speaking, Xiao Xun'er also raised her little hand, her purple sleeves trimmed with black gold threads slid down, revealing a section of her snow-white and delicate wrist, and then she touched the stone tablet... There was a slight silence, and the dazzling light bloomed again on the stone tablet.

"Dou Qi: Seventh Dan! Level: Advanced!"

As the font Magic Stone Tablet appeared, everyone present became quiet.

"... She is not far away from condensing Dou Qi Vortex. In one year at most, she can try to break through Dou Zhe. Darling, under Master Xiao Yan, she will be Miss Xun'er!" After a moment, some noise emerged from the crowd in the distance.

The tester in charge of Magic Stone Tablet smiled and bowed slightly to the girl, "Miss Xun'er, if you can break through Dou Zhe within one year, you will be the second person to succeed Xiao Clan in a hundred years!"

"Thank you~" The girl didn't seem to be interested in this, her eyes were calm, she responded softly, then turned and left.

Some people wanted to say hello to her along the way, but were forced to retreat by her cold aura.

Until someone stood in front of her.

Xiao Yan...

Xiao Xun'er's eyes moved slightly as she stared at the other person. Some interesting memories from her childhood surfaced, causing a faint smile to appear on her lips. She asked softly, "Xiao Yan Gege, are you okay?"

Laugh... laugh!

This scene left many people stunned, and they immediately looked at Xiao Yan with envy.

Xiao Yan was also shaken by the girl's smile, and said in a strange way, "You are not far away from Condensation Dou Qi Vortex. If you encounter any problems during this period, you can come and ask me. I still have some experience in this regard."

After saying that, he felt a little hot on his face for no reason. The condensed cyclone was always taken care of by the elders. His strength was obviously lacking, so he seemed to have some ulterior motives for saying this.

"Hmm~" Xiao Xun'er responded softly and left slowly.

"Huh~" Xiao Yan watched Xiao Xun'er leave, and breathed a long sigh of relief inexplicably. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the aura of the girl in front of him was a little too big, completely different from Xiao Mei and other women.

Xiao Mei stood beside Xiao Yan and muttered in a low voice, "Sister Xun'er really doesn't have a good heart. Xiao Yan Gege cares about her so much, but she doesn't appreciate it."

"This girl has always been like this~" Xiao Yan said without taking it seriously.

"It's Xiao Yan Gege's turn to test later, right? Xiao Yan Gege, tell Meier quietly, what strength are you now? Have you broken through Dou Shi?!" Xiao Mei blinked his slightly charming eyes, filled with Xiao Yan, and asked brightly.

"I won't have to test anymore~" Xiao Yan said with a confident smile.

The young man's high spirits were clearly revealed at this moment.

Now he is no longer Dou Zhe, but a real two-star Dou Shi. Even within the family, there are only a few people with higher cultivation than him. Even among Wutan City, he can be called a strong man!

Xiao Mei looked at Xiao Yan with admiration, and said sweetly, "As expected of Xiao Yan Gege!"

Xiao Family's family test did not have any impact on Xiao Xun'er. She took a leisurely walk in the back mountain, holding a simple book in her hand, reading Gu Clan's internal cultivation experience, which contained a detailed introduction to Dou Qi, the soul realm, etc.

As she gets older, the hidden dangers in her body are gradually eliminated, and at the same time, the power derived from Dou Di Bloodline begins to recover steadily. This can be felt from her faster and faster training speed, and this kind of training does not cause pain to the body. Obviously, the body has adapted.

She can even temporarily use Bloodline Power to greatly increase her body's strength... However, such mobilization will also put a lot of burden on her body and will make her weak for a period of time.

This incident reflects from the side that her Dou Di Bloodline concentration is extremely high!

After all, Bloodline Concentration is not tall, so it is impossible for her to do something similar to what Clan Mark opened. Moreover, Xiao Xun'er can sense the tyranny of this power. If she is reckless, she can even increase her strength to an unimaginable level.

At the same time, the space beside him suddenly distorted. After a moment, a middle-aged woman in a black dress came out. She looked at the girl with gentle eyes. After a moment, there was a bit of distress in her eyes, and she whispered, "Miss, a message has just been sent from the clan..."

"Huh? What's the matter?" Gu Xun'er paused, looked over with elegant eyes, and asked.

"I hope the young lady is mentally prepared... The clan has decided to negotiate with the Soul Clan Marriage Alliance." Aunt Hua hesitated for a moment before slowly telling the news. After speaking, she didn't even dare to look at the girl's eyes. With the intelligence of the other party, he would understand her meaning in an instant.

Gu Xun'er was stunned, with a look of panic visible in her eyes. She used to be cool and quiet at the Xiao Family just to prevent those guys from approaching endlessly. In fact, she was only a thirteen-year-old girl after all, with an immature heart. When she suddenly heard that her family wanted her to go to the Marriage Alliance, how could she not be afraid or panic?

"How... how could this happen suddenly? Haven't our clan's relationship with the Soul Clan always been bad? Also, father... how could he agree?" Gu Xun'er bit his lip lightly, like an abandoned little beast, and whispered.

"Soul Clan A peerless evildoer appeared over there, and Soul Clan Leader personally came to propose marriage to him. As for more, I don't know." Aunt Hua looked at the weak girl in front of him with distress, and said softly.

She only has the strength of Dou Zun, and the decision of the top leaders of the clan will obviously not be told to her.

The only thing she couldn't understand was that the clan would take Clan Leader's daughter to the Marriage Alliance!

What on earth do Clan Leader think?!

Gu Xun'er pursed her lips tightly, and her eyes flashed with heartbreaking weakness, but these weaknesses were quickly suppressed deep in her heart. After a moment, she adjusted her emotions, looked up at Aunt Hua, and said in a deep voice, "I want to go back!"

She wants to go back and ask her father for a reason!

"It's better not to go back for the time being~" A familiar sigh suddenly sounded in Gu Xun'er's ears. She heard it and went out, and immediately saw the person she was most familiar with. The other person appeared beside her at some point, looking at her with an apologetic look in his eyes.

"Clan Leader?!" Aunt Hua was shocked when he saw the person coming, and immediately bowed and saluted.

"You leave first, Xun'er and I have something to say." Gu Yuan said softly.

Aunt Hua nodded, turned and left.

Gu Yuan looked at his daughter who looked aggrieved with distress. Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint's strength could not keep him rational in front of his daughter, especially when he saw the tears emerging from the corners of her eyes, he even wanted to ignore the old guys in the clan.

"Why are you crying? Just listen to the news and don't take it seriously." Gu Yuan looked at the tears falling from the corners of Gu Xun'er's eyes and suddenly became a little confused. He would rather fight with Hun Tiandi than see this scene.

Gu Xun'er didn't speak, but her tears couldn't stop falling. However, she was also extremely quiet when she cried. She just shed tears silently, with a little helplessness and grievance, which made people pity her.

"This matter is a bit complicated. My agreement to this matter is just a delaying measure. I don't really want you to get married!" Gu Yuan said with a headache.

Gu Xun'er's elegant eyes stared at Gu Yuan quietly, waiting for the next sentence.

Gu Yuan unhurriedly told the information about Yao Yan one after another, "Soul Clan gave birth to a Peerless Heavenly Pride, body Yao Clan, Soul Clan, Spirit Clan, Stone Clan, Yan Clan Five Clan Dou Di Bloodline, who is only twenty-seven years old, already possesses the strength of Nine-Revolution Dou Zun. It has only been a few years since he entered Dou Sheng. According to the investigation during this period, this child is still a Eighth-Grade High-Level Alchemist, possessing Five Types of Strange Fire... The most important thing is that he has cultivated to this point without relying on the power of the Soul Clan!"

Speaking of this, Gu Yuan also had some emotion in his eyes. He had not seen such an outstanding young man for a long time. After investigating the news, he was extremely surprised, and the authenticity of the content was also easy to investigate... Yao Chen is now the tower owner of Danta, and Danta also has the support of the Gu Clan.

"Now that he has become Soul Clan Young Chief, his strength will definitely improve by leaps and bounds. His future achievements will not be lower than Soul Clan Leader Hun Tiandi!" Gu Yuan said in a deep voice.

"So the father sold his daughter?" Gu Xun'er asked in a cold voice after hearing Gu Yuan's words.

"If that's the case, I will naturally not agree to this... The main reason is that Hun Tiandi's idea is very dangerous. He wants to open Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion, but Gu Jade Fragment is controlled by Now that Great Emperor Clans has Soul Yan in his hands, he can use Soul Yan's body Five Clan Dou Di Bloodline as a bargaining chip to unite other races to open the cave and solve the mystery of Dou Di!"

Gu Yuan's eyes were gloomy, helpless and hesitant, and he continued:

"Dou Di Bloodline of all races are gradually becoming exhausted. If no more Dou Di is born in the race, then Xiao Clan will be the future of each race. And even if this generation does not start Dou Di Cave Abode, your generation will definitely start it. Then there will be a Imperial Clan War... Now that it can be started peacefully, all the elders in the race have chosen to agree."

In the final analysis, Marriage Alliance is exchanging benefits, but Gu Yuan doesn't want to say such naked words to his daughter.

Gu Xun'er stopped crying at this moment. She just suddenly saw her father and her mood suddenly collapsed. Now she is much better. After calming down, she asked softly, "Soul Clan, are you trustworthy?"

"I don't believe a word of what Hun Tiandi said!" Gu Yuan said in a solemn voice, "... but Soul Yan's body cannot be faked. Several elders and I have personally investigated it, and it is true."

"Then my daughter still has a choice?" Gu Xun'er whispered, his eyes dim.

"Okay!" Gu Yuan took a deep breath, looked at his daughter whose eyes had lost their luster, and said in a deep voice, "As Gu Clan Leader, I can only agree to this... But as a father, I support any choice you make, and you only agree to us. If you have enough strength in the future, you can naturally choose to refuse!"

Gu Xun'er's eyes moved slightly, and she understood what her father meant. Her heart warmed slightly. After pondering for a moment, she slowly said, "So, doesn't my father hate him? If he really takes that step in the future, then..."

"Then it is still unclear whether Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion has a way to become an emperor. If he does, he may not be the first to become an emperor!" Gu Yuan said with a flash of light in his eyes. He decided to fight for his daughter.

Gu Xun'er understood what her father meant. She pondered for a while and said, "I want to see him."

"... Okay!" Gu Yuan looked at his daughter, was silent for a moment, and nodded slowly.
