A suggestion to lure her away

For a thousand years, the Xiao Household had never had a single spot in the Heavenly Tomb. The sudden change to four spots felt strange to everyone, including the Xiao Household themselves...

At this moment, after Gu Nanhai uttered the words "No problem," everyone's attention turned to Xiao Zhan, the current patriarch of the Xiao Household.

Although Xiao Zhan's strength was insignificant in the eyes of the major Great Emperor clans, his status was still undeniable!

At this moment, faced with this unexpected "pie in the sky," Xiao Zhan, although guessing that his father might be behind it, still couldn't help but ask, "Elder Ling Miao, first of all, thank you for your gift, but may I ask, why did you specifically choose to give these two Heavenly Tomb slots from the Ling Clan to my Xiao Clan?"

Xiao Zhan's question was actually the same question that the other members of the Emperor Clan wanted to know the answer to.

However, when Xiao Zhan asked, Ling Miao simply smiled and then said meaningfully, "The first reason is that my Ling Clan does not have a suitable person to participate in this Heavenly Tomb Trial."

"Since Xiao Li is both a member of your Xiao Clan and my disciple, I'll consider this a perk I'm giving to my disciple."

Ling Miao's words were absolutely true!

The Ling Clan, apart from Ling Miao, currently consists of four members who are only at the Dou Zong and are not qualified to participate in this Heavenly Tomb Trial. Naturally, there is no suitable candidate.

Given this, it's perfectly normal for Ling Miao to give this spot to her disciple's Xiao Clan.

"So, Elder Ling Miao, is there a second reason?"

Having served as the patriarch of the Xiao Household for so long, Xiao Zhan naturally understood the other layer of meaning in Ling Miao's words.

"The second reason... Xiao Clan Leader, just consider it because I find your Xiao Clan pleasing to the eye!"

As she said this, Ling Miao glanced at Xiao Lin almost imperceptibly.

As the instigator of all these events, Xiao Lin is still pretending to be a wooden puppet, as if the matter being discussed by everyone has nothing to do with him!

All I can say is that Xiao Lin is incredibly composed!

"Hmm~"

However, Ling Miao's second reason completely surprised everyone, including the Xiao Household.

And so, the matter of transferring the Heavenly Tomb quota of the Ling Clan to the Xiao Clan was decided directly.

No one objected, and there was no reason to object!

However, it's a bit of a shame that the Gu Clan's original four spots for the Heavenly Tomb have now been reduced to two.

The four spots originally set by the Gu Clan should now belong to the Eldest Miss of the Gu Clan, Gu Qingyang Gu Xing, Gu Zhen, and Lin Xiu, now that Gu Hua, Gu Xing, and Gu Yao are still bedridden.

Now, the last two need to be removed.

For Gu Zhen and Lin Xiu, their emotions were like a rollercoaster, going from not expecting anything at all, to the unexpected surprise of gaining it, and then to losing it again!

In addition, the Xiao Household is also facing some minor troubles.

Originally, the three brothers Xiao Ding, Xiao Li, and Xiao Yan were one short of a spot in the Heavenly Tomb, but now they suddenly have one more.

I don't even know who to give this extra spot to.

Although Xiao Zhan and Yang Xiyue, as a couple, were qualified to enter the Heavenly Tomb based on their strength.

But for them, going in would feel like a loss of face and an awkward situation.

Furthermore, the couple are a unit, so they naturally wouldn't choose for one of them to go in while the other doesn't.

After much deliberation, the Xiao Household members were all very conflicted.

After Xiao Lin whispered a few words to Ling Miao, the latter suddenly revealed a gentle smile.

She suddenly felt that her Palace Master was a bit wicked!

That's a pretty obvious scheme!

However, she didn't mind watching the Gu Clans ' antics.

"Xiao Clan Leader, Elder Gu Nanhai, I have a suggestion. I wonder if you would be willing to listen to it?"

Ling Miao suddenly spoke with a mysterious expression.

"Of course, Elder Ling Miao, please speak frankly!"

Since the extra spots for the Xiao Clan were originally given by Ling Miao, Xiao Zhan would naturally listen to her suggestion!

Why did Elder Ling Miao suddenly bring up my Gu Clan?

However, Gu Nanhai was somewhat puzzled when Ling Miao suddenly mentioned him.

"Because my suggestion is related to the Gu Clan, and it can be considered a good thing!"

"Is it also related to the Gu Clan?"

"That's right! Xiao Clan Leader was struggling with who should get the last spot in the Heavenly Tomb, right? I was thinking, why don't we let Miss Gu Xun'er from the Gu Clan take one of the Xiao Clan's Heavenly Tomb spots? That way, the Gu Clan can have one more spot to enter the Heavenly Tomb."

Xiao Clan Leader, Elder Gu Nanhai, what do you think?

As Ling Miao finished speaking, everyone in the Xiao Household, as well as Xun'er herself, instantly brightened up!

"Alright, Xun'er grew up in the Xiao Household since she was little, so it's perfectly reasonable for her to occupy one of the Xiao Household's Heavenly Tomb slots!"

Without any hesitation, Xiao Zhan agreed immediately.

At the same time, Yang Xiyue, Xiao Ding, Xiao Li, and Xiao Yan also nodded in agreement.

Among them, Xiao Yan was the most excited!

At this moment, he felt that Elder Ling Miao's suggestion was absolutely brilliant!

Because having Xun'er occupy one of the Xiao Household's spots to enter the Heavenly Tomb carries completely different implications compared to having Xun'er enter the Heavenly Tomb directly as the Eldest Miss of the Gu Clan!

As for Xun'er herself, she was naturally overjoyed!

After all, how could she not know the implications?

By occupying a spot in the Xiao Household's Heavenly Tomb, doesn't that essentially mean she's a member of the Xiao Household?

Well, as long as Uncle Xiao, Aunt Yue, Big Brother, Second Brother, and Brother Xiao Yan don't object to Elder Ling Miao's suggestion, she herself would absolutely agree with it wholeheartedly!

She's Ling Miao in love with Elder Lingmiao!

The Gu Clan members. "..."

However, Ling Miao's suggestion turned everyone present from the Gu Clans green with disbelief.

No, you, a member of the Ling Clan, are you helping the Xiao Household family abduct our Gu Clan's young lady?

When did their Gu Clan's young lady need to occupy a spot in the Xiao Clan's Heavenly Tomb?

They would absolutely never agree to something like that!

"Uncle Xiao, is this really okay? That's great!"

However, before the members of the Gu Clan could even voice their objections, their young lady had already excitedly run to the side of the Xiao Household.

Seeing this, the Gu Clan were filled with despair!

They really wanted to say, "Miss, please be a little more reserved!"

However, even if the Gu Clan people said that, Xun'er would most likely not listen.

However, those from the Gu Clan present were clearly still unwilling to accept this!

However, just as they were about to say something in protest, a sudden voice rang in the ears of everyone present.

"Well then, that's settled. Xun'er will be in the care of the Xiao Household family. Gu Qingyang and Gu Zhen, you two will represent the Gu Clan on this trip to the Heavenly Tomb."

The sigh carried a hint of helplessness, yet also contained supreme authority.

"Father!"

The Eldest Miss of the Gu Clan immediately recognized that the one who had just spoken was her father.

However, Gu Yuan only sent out a voice; he did not actually appear.

"Yes, Chieftain!"

Now that Gu Yuan has spoken, the other members of the Gu Clan have no reason to object.

After all, in this matter, although the Xiao Household is suspected of abducting their own young lady, it would indeed be beneficial for them to remain silent.

At least there's one more spot to enter the Heavenly Tomb!
