Reunited After a Long Separation

While Xiao Lin was still thinking about the Gu Clan Coming-of-Age Ceremony and the Heavenly Tomb after sending the invitation from the Gu Nanhai, the Starfall Pavilion was also welcoming people from the Gu Clan.

Of course, although the people who come to the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace and those who go to the Starfall Pavilion are different, their purpose is the same!

After all, with Yao Lao's attainment of the Dou Sheng, the Starfall Pavilion had become a force possessing Dou Sheng Expert.

Therefore, the Starfall Pavilion was certainly qualified to be invited by the Gu Clans.

Besides, even if Starfall Pavilion doesn't have the qualifications, I imagine a certain lady whose name is pronounced "ancient" but written as "bitter" will quietly exert her influence.

And so, the one who went to deliver the invitation to the Starfall Pavilion this time was none other than this "bitter," no, "ancient" lady herself!

Inside the Starfall Pavilion, Yao Lao was equally surprised to learn of the Gu Clan's visit.

After he became Dou Sheng, he considered that someone from the Yao Clan might come to him, but he never considered the Gu Clan!

After all, he was an outcast of the Yao Clan.

Although he was framed, the person who framed him held a high position and great power within the Yao Clan!

Now, Yao Lao considers himself to have achieved some success, but the strength of the Yao Clan is only considered average among the Eight Great Emperor Clans.

The Yao Lao had actually considered that after he achieved his current success, the Yao Clan would reinvestigate the past, discover that he had been wronged, and take him back.

It's not that the Yao Lao insisted on returning to the Yao Clan.

In fact, he had very little affection for the Yao Clan.

But what he truly couldn't let go of was his parents, who, because of him, didn't even have the right to have their names engraved on the family monument after their deaths!

However, even though he has been a Dou Sheng for some time now, no one from the Yao Clan has come to see him.

This made the Yao Lao increasingly disappointed.

Unexpectedly, instead of the Yao Clan, he was greeted by the Gu Clan...

This truly moved the Yao Lao.

At the same time, he was naturally curious about the purpose of the Gu Clan sending people to the Starfall Pavilion.

"Don't worry, Yao Chen, no matter what the Gu Clan's motives are, I will help you!"

Seeing the Yao Lao's furrowed brows, Hu Jiujiu, who hadn't left since arriving at the Starfall Pavilion, immediately chose to take sides without the slightest hesitation.

For Yao Chen's sake, she dared to directly confront the Gu Clan!

Seeing the couple start showing off their affection, Xiao Yan Feng Xian, and the others were too embarrassed to watch.

Neither Yao Lao nor Hu Jiujiu herself showed the slightest embarrassment!

It can only be said that not only has Yao Lao's appearance become younger, but his mindset has also become younger!

"Jiujiu, you're overthinking it. Neither I nor the Starfall Pavilion have ever had any enmity with the Gu Clans, so there's no way the Gu Clans' people are here with ill intentions. I'm just simply curious about why the Gu Clans have come."

Of course, while Yao Lao wasn't embarrassed by Hu Jiujiu's display of affection, he was quite speechless at her seemingly ready to fight the Gu Clan.

"Alright, if we really have to fight the Gu Clan, remember to count me in!"

As she spoke, Hu Jiujiu even gestured with her tiny pink fist, which was probably no bigger than a rice bowl...

It's clear that ever since reuniting with Yao Lao, Hu Jiujiu Jiu has been unconditionally protecting her husband.

Although Yao Lao didn't believe the Gu Clan came with hostility, he was still deeply moved by Hu Jiujiu's actions.

All I can say is, with a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for!

It was during the brief pause in the discussion between Yao Lao and the others that the people of the Gu Clan were brought in.

Surely the Natural Yao Lao and the others wouldn't be discussing this amongst themselves while the Gu Clan clansmen waited outside, would they?

At this moment, the people of the Gu Clan had already entered the main hall.

The leader of the group that came to visit the Gu Clan was a young girl in the prime of her youth.

However, as soon as she stepped into the main hall, her eyes were already looking around the entire hall.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yan was also wondering who the people from the Gu Clan would be.

However, as he was looking towards the entrance of the main hall, a figure that resembled an elf suddenly came into his view.

"Swish"

Upon seeing that elfin-like figure, Xiao Yan abruptly stood up from his seat.

"Xun'er!"

A shout of surprise, which could not be concealed, rang out.

"Brother Xiao Yan!"

Similarly, the elfin figure also cried out in surprise and rushed towards Xiao Yan.

Immediately afterwards, the two embraced each other right in front of all the Starfall Pavilion members in the main hall, as well as the two Gu Clan members who followed them into the hall.

It can only be said that Xiao Yan and Yao Lao are truly worthy of being master and disciple!

One second Xun'er were showing off their love, and the next second it's Xiao Yan Yao Lao Hu Jiujiu.

However, upon seeing this scene, the two members of the Gu Clan who had followed in looked quite grim.

Although when Ling Quan and the others brought their young lady back, they had already heard that her heart had been stolen by Xiao Household, the impoverished young master of the Xiao Yan family.

But hearing about it is one thing, seeing it with your own eyes is quite another!

As for Yao Lao, his face was already beaming with smiles after he saw that the person from the Gu Clan was actually Xun'er.

Clearly, in Yao Lao's view, since it was Xun'er who had come, it couldn't possibly be anything bad!

Although the others didn't know Xun'er's identity, seeing her hugging their young master the moment they met, could their relationship be anything Ordinary?

Therefore, everyone else naturally wore knowing smiles on their faces at this moment.

"Ahem~, young lady, don't forget the important matter!"

Seeing that their young mistress and Xiao Yan were embracing and showed no sign of letting go, Elder Tong Xuan, who had followed them, had no choice but to speak up and remind them.

Only after hearing Elder Tong Xuan's voice did Xun'er reluctantly break free from Xiao Yan.

"I understand, Elder Tong Xuan. It's just that she hasn't seen Brother Xiao Yan for too long, so she misses him."

The Eldest Miss of the Gu Clan made no attempt to hide her feelings for Xiao Yan.

Tong Xuan: "..."

Well, since his young mistress has spoken her mind, what else can he say?

Then, Xun'er, having broken free from Xiao Yan's embrace, bowed slightly to Yao Lao, who was seated at the head of the table, and said, "Greetings Saint Yao."

"Haha, Miss Xun'er, there's no need to be so polite. I think you already knew about my existence back then, didn't you?"

Although Yao Lao never appeared in front of Xun'er, he was a witness to the relationship between her and Xiao Yan!

Moreover, Yao Lao also knew that Xun'er must have discovered that he was hiding by Xiao Yan's side long ago.

As expected, when Yao Lao asked, Xun'er nodded gracefully.

"Yes, I think you, Saint Yao, must be the teacher who has been hiding by Brother Xiao Yan's side all this time? I didn't know your identity before, and I never had the chance to visit you. I truly regret and apologize."

Xun'er then spoke truthfully.

It can be said that Xun'er's respect for Yao Lao stemmed not only from the fact that he was Dou Sheng, but also from the fact that he was Xiao Yan's teacher!
