A Sigh

In a corner of the Jia Nan Academy, Xun'er, walking side by side with Xiao Yan on a tree-lined path, had a slight change in expression when the Gu Clan and others appeared.

At this moment, when Gu Shan, the old man leading the Flying Airship, spoke, Xun'er's face was filled with bitterness and deep reluctance.

"Brother Xiao Yan, I'm leaving..."

Xun'er's voice carried an obvious sense of dejection.

The fact that the Gu Clan sent out such a lineup says it all!

In this respect, I don't know why, but it's so different from the Original Work!

It's important to know that in the Original Work, the Gu Clan only sent about ten Black Annihilation Army soldiers to pick up Xun'er and take her back.

But to be fair, the current situation is actually more reasonable!

After all, the Black Annihilation Army, consisting of a dozen or so riders whose highest cultivation level was only Dou Emperor, was going to bring the Eldest Miss of the Gu Clan back to the Gu Realm Jia Nan Academy the Central Plains Northwest Continent in such a grand manner. One wonders how ambitious the Gu Clan is.

If the Hun Clan were to pull a fast one, Gu Yuan would be in deep trouble!

Moreover, how long would it take for a group of the Black Annihilation Army, whose highest cultivation level is no more than Dou Emperor, to bring their young lady back?

This is absolutely outrageous!

Even if the Gu Clan don't consider the Hun Clan as human, aren't they afraid of encountering other unexpected events along the way?

Bringing back our young lady from such a far away place, how could we not send some strong experts?

"... So fast?"

Seeing Xun'er's appearance, Xiao Yan also felt reluctant to part with her.

These twenty days or so seemed exceptionally short for both of them!

At the same time, even though he was mentally prepared, Xiao Yan was still deeply shocked when he actually saw Xun'er's clansmen.

This group of about a hundred people, the lowest in cultivation level is at least at the Dou Wang realm.

Even at the Dou Wang level, one could only serve as a lowly soldier in the Black Annihilation Army of the Gu Clan.

This was arguably the first time Xiao Yan had directly experienced the difference in strength between himself and the families behind Xun'er!

If it were Ordinary, they would probably have been so devastated by this huge gap that they would have become withdrawn.

But he is Xiao Yan!

No matter what difficulties await him, he will overcome them!

Xiao Yan's gaze also shifted from shock to determination.

Xun'er, who was initially a little worried, smiled brightly when she saw Xiao Yan's increasingly determined look in his eyes.

But the thought of leaving soon made her feel down again.

"Brother Xiao Yan, one day... you will come to find me, won't you?"

As she spoke, Xun'er revealed a pitiful expression.

She wasn't faking it; she was afraid that Xiao Yan really wouldn't come looking for her anymore!

"Slap"

Seeing Xun'er like this, Xiao Yan finally couldn't hold back any longer and pulled the lovely girl in front of him into his arms.

Smelling the delicate fragrance emanating from the beauty in his arms, Xiao Yan's expression was slightly intoxicated.

As for Xun'er, after her initial panic subsided, she quickly blushed and leaned into Xiao Yan's arms, wrapping her arms around his waist.

In the stillness of the moment, feeling each other's warmth and heartbeat, they both wished time could stand still at this moment!

"Xun'er, I will definitely come find you, I definitely will!"

Xiao Yan rested his chin on Xun'er's head, his deep voice resonating in her ear.

Hearing Xiao Yan's promise, Xun'er's delicate body couldn't help but tremble.

That was an overwhelming joy in her heart!

"Um"

Xun'er nodded her little head, which was resting on Xiao Yan's shoulder, and her arms around Xiao Yan's waist tightened involuntarily.

At the same time, Gu Shan, the Gu Clan's Half-Saint Elder standing on the Flying Airship, had a slight change in expression.

Clearly, Gu Shan, being Half-Saint, had already discovered the location of his young mistress.

But it was precisely because he discovered it that his expression changed!

Good heavens, what did he see?

The young lady, on whom the entire Gu Clan placed their hopes, was now leaning against a wild boy?

This is truly intolerable!

Gu Shan's anger was escalating.

However, to save face for his young mistress, he didn't lash out on the spot.

However, he had already deeply etched Xiao Yan's appearance into his heart.

Thinking of something, Gu Shan glanced at a corner of the Flying Airship.

There, Ling Ying, the only one who was Dou Emperor but qualified to board Flying Airship, had already lowered his head in fear.

What happened?

Gu Shan suppressed his anger and asked.

This question was clearly directed at Ling Ying.

As for what was being referred to, Ling Ying naturally knew.

"That young man is Xiao Yan from the Xiao Household."

Faced with Gu Shan's gaze, Ling Ying had no choice but to tell the truth.

In fact, Ling Ying had reported some things about Xiao Yan back to her clan.

However, he did not mention the relationship between Xiao Yan and Xun'er.

This is why Gu Shan's anger surged after witnessing this scene.

Because, before this, let alone him, no one in the entire Gu Clan knew that their young lady had fallen in love with Xiao Yan!

If it were a thousand years ago, there would be nothing to say; the two families would be considered a perfect match.

But right now, it's clear that no one in the Gu Clan looks up to the Xiao Household.

Based on the lingering affection between the author and the Xiao Household from a thousand years ago, ensuring the Xiao Household's survival was already the greatest act of benevolence and righteousness they could ask for.

Now, a down-on-his-luck young master wants to steal the heart of his young mistress?

Dream on!

Ling Ying only revealed Xiao Yan's identity, without explaining anything else.

After all, he couldn't explain it!

Gu Shan gave Ling Ying a deep look, wanting to slap him to death, but he didn't.

Ling Ying's situation is somewhat special. He is not only the one who has secretly protected Xun'er all these years, but he is also directly responsible to Gu Yuan, the clan leader.

Therefore, although Gu Shan was angry, he did not dare to overstep his clan leader and directly deal with Ling Ying.

It can be said that only Gu Yuan and his daughter Xun'er are qualified to deal with Ling Ying!

"Ling Quan!"

"Exist!"

"Go and bring the young lady back, six kilometers northwest of the Jia Nan Academy!"

"Yes, Elder Gu Shan!"

As Gu Shan gave his order, a young man who looked to be no more than twenty-four or twenty-five years old, dressed in a purplish-black robe, covered with the Black Annihilation Army's standard armor, and with a dark blue cloak hanging on his back, stepped forward after receiving the command.

"Call out"

Without any hesitation, Ling Quan, riding his Four-Winged Unicorn, led about ten members of the Black Annihilation Army, transforming into a streak of light and heading straight for the location given by Gu Shan.

As for the remaining members of the Gu Clan, they remained quietly waiting in place.

"Sigh~"

Just as Gu Shan and the others were waiting for Ling Quan to bring their young lady back, a sigh suddenly rang out in the ears of the Gu Clan members without warning.

"Who?"

At this moment, everyone in the Gu Clan, including Gu Shan, showed expressions of great alarm!

Gu Shan had even released all of his Soul Power, yet he still couldn't sense any trace of the person who had just sighed!
