Your Grandpa Really Is Something Else...

"Gu Yuan, huh..."

Upon hearing Xiao Yan mention Gu Yuan, Xiao Chen merely uttered a single sentence, but his expression shifted several times.

Xiao Chen had been out of the Demonic Flame Space for more than two years, and he had heard about the Xiao Household family's earlier situation from Xiao Ding and Xiao Li.

To be honest, Xiao Chen harbored some resentment towards the Gu Clans.

But this kind of hatred is somewhat like a sibling rivalry; it's like there's a knot in your heart.

It's important to know that the Xiao Clan and the Gu Clan were close friends a thousand years ago.

Otherwise, why would Xiao Xuan entrust his affairs after his death to Gu Yuan?

However, the deep affection they once shared ultimately couldn't withstand the power of "self-interest."

The Gu Clan didn't completely fail to keep their promise, but they only fulfilled half of it, which was already making people very uneasy.

This is why Xiao Chen's feelings towards the Gu Clan are so complicated now.

Furthermore, Xiao Yan's current relationship with the Eldest Miss of the Gu Clan makes it even more difficult for Xiao Chen to know how to approach the Gu Clan.

Seeing the changing expressions on his ancestor's face, Xiao Yan fell silent for a moment.

As his strength increased, Xiao Yan's experience naturally also improved.

The relationship between the Gu Clan and the Xiao Clan wasn't something Xiao Yan couldn't think of; rather, he simply chose not to delve into it.

Furthermore, through his interactions with Gu Yuan and the Gu Clan, Xiao Yan also learned that a large portion of the Gu Clan had indeed abandoned their past friendship with the Xiao Clan, but some still remembered it.

At the very least, Xiao Yan had a fairly good impression of Gu Yuan, Gu Nanhai, Gu Qingyang, and others.

Furthermore, because of Xun'er, Xiao Yan was even less willing to think the worst about the Gu Clan.

Xiao Yan was not a member of the Xiao Clan a thousand years ago, so he didn't have a deep understanding of the relationship between the Gu Clans and the Xiao Clan. Therefore, he didn't have the same empathy as Xiao Chen.

In this respect, it's not just Xiao Yan, but even Xiao Lin is the same.

It's fair to say that the current members of the Xiao Household have a neutral impression of the Gu Clan.

However, because of Xun'er, everyone's impression of the Gu Clan is only moderately positive.

As for Xiao Chen now, after learning about the Xiao Household's previous situation, his impression of the Gu Clan was initially moderately bad. However, after learning that his own descendant had won over Gu Yuan's only daughter, his impression changed to neither good nor bad.

This means that in Xiao Chen's eyes, the Gu Clan is no different from the other three clans: Thunder, Flame, and Medicine.

"Ancestor, do you harbor resentment towards the Gu Clan?"

After a while, Xiao Yan tentatively spoke.

When Xiao Yan asked, Xiao Chen snapped out of his reverie about the relationship between the Xiao Clan and the Gu Clan a thousand years ago.

Then, Xiao Chen sighed, shook his head, and said, "Sigh~, it would be a lie to say that I have absolutely no lingering resentment... But you're something else, kid, you actually managed to trick that old man Gu Yuan's daughter into your hands!"

Haha, this can be considered as getting back what the Gu Clans owed our Xiao Clan!

Xiao Chen was sighing at first, but when he talked about how Xiao Yan tricked Xun'er into his life, his mood suddenly improved.

"Ancestor, Xun'er and I are true love..."

Seeing his ancestor's current state, Xiao Yan couldn't help but laugh and cry.

But who can blame them when they're the ancestor of the Xiao Household?

As a descendant, what could he do?

The only thing we can do is appease them!

"Alright, alright, you two are truly in love. Anyway, as long as you can marry that old man Gu Yuan's daughter, that's the best thing that can happen!"

Thinking about this, Xiao Chen gradually became more accepting of the Gu Clans ' affairs.

Afterwards, Xiao Yan and Xiao Chen discussed when to seek Gu Yuan's help from the Gu Clans and reopen the Heavenly Tomb plan.

Ultimately, the two decided on this timeframe after the destruction of the Soul Hall...

As for when the Soul Hall will be destroyed?

It can't be long anyway.

After the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame incident came to a close, both sides knew that their final battle was about to begin.

This trend became even more pronounced after Xiao Yan's return!

Barring unforeseen circumstances, a decisive battle will inevitably erupt between the Heavenly Mansion Alliance and the Soul Hall within a year!

After discussing the time to meet Xiao Xuan, Xiao Yan brought up another matter with Xiao Chen.

"Ancestor, I'm planning to go to the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace in a couple of days. Would you be willing to come with me?"

Suddenly, for some reason, Xiao Yan had the idea of taking his ancestor to meet his grandfather...

Anyway, he was planning to go to the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace to check on the situation, so it doesn't seem like there's any problem bringing his ancestor along!

"Myriad Formation Spirit Palace? I've heard many people mention that name repeatedly since I came to the Starfall Pavilion. I remember your eldest and second eldest brothers were members of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, right?"

"By the way, how come you're the young master of the Starfall Pavilion, while your elder brothers are from the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace?"

Mentioning the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace brought a whole host of questions to Xiao Chen's mind.

Xiao Chen is now aware of the legendary nature of this force.

This power hasn't been around for very long, probably only about fifty years.

However, nowadays, it has become the number one human force in the Dou Qi Continent, second only to the Emperor Clan!

This is so outrageous that even a child could easily understand it.

If there was any debate before about who was stronger among the Soul Hall, Danta, and Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, that debate has long since vanished without a trace!

The Myriad Formation Spirit Palace is currently the strongest force openly known on the Dou Qi Continent!

Even the Soul Hall, which now has the support of the Hun Clan, and the Heavenly Mansion Alliance are no match for the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace.

Otherwise, why would the Soul Hall's new, mysterious Hall Master request that his clan restrict the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace's assistance to the Heavenly Mansion Alliance?

How could Xiao Chen not be curious about such a force?

"Ancestor, this is a long story, but it's related to my grandfather..."

Afterwards, Xiao Yan told his ancestor why he and his two older brothers had joined different factions.

After hearing Xiao Yan's description, a look of astonishment flashed across Xiao Chen's resolute face.

Because he had heard Xiao Yan recount his "bitter history" and how he had been "tricked" by his grandfather and teacher!

"Hmm~, Xiao Yan, hearing you say that, your grandfather... is really quite special!"

At this moment, Xiao Chen was at a loss for words to describe Xiao Lin.

Ultimately, he used the word "special".

Seriously, is it really that funny to mess with your own grandson?

"Yes, Grandpa is not only special, but also very mysterious! I always feel like he's hiding a lot of secrets from me..."

Xiao Yan deeply agreed with his ancestor's description of his grandfather!

Wasn't his grandfather just that kind of person?
