Provocation, the First Mention of the Xiao Clan!

"Oh? You mean I have a bad eye for people?"

If Xun'er had merely frowned before, her voice now was as cold as frost.

Meanwhile, under Xun'er's gaze, beads of cold sweat began to trickle down Ling Quan's forehead.

Under the pressure of status, sometimes you can make things difficult for others even if you haven't done anything, let alone someone like Ling Quan who offends you with words out of jealousy.

It can be said that from the moment he stopped taking Xiao Yan seriously, Xun'er had countless ways to deal with him!

Xun'er is, after all, the eldest daughter of the Gu Clan. From a young age, she was forced by the clan Elders to learn all sorts of things. How could she really just be a pretty face who knows nothing?

At the very least, if she's willing, she's absolutely capable of being a good young clan leader!

"I, I, I, no! Miss Xun'er, I, Ling Quan deserve to die. I shouldn't have interfered with Miss Xun'er's freedom. Please punish me, Miss Xun'er!"

All I can say is that Ling Quan isn't too stupid.

Although at first, jealousy made him somewhat unable to distinguish between what was important and what was not.

But after realizing his mistake, he still decisively chose to admit it.

To be fair, Ling Quan is quite intelligent to have become the Deputy Commander of the Black Annihilation Army at the age of twenty-four or twenty-five.

After all, if he continues to argue under these circumstances, he will only drive himself into a dead end.

Then he'll have to endure even more of Xun'er's wrath!

"Hmph, I'll let it slide this time, but if they dare to do it again, I won't let them off easily!"

Xun'er spoke after giving a cold snort.

"Ling Quan thanks Xun'er!"

Only then did Ling Quan secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, Ling Quan thought to himself, "Miss Xun'er is so gentle! She didn't punish me at all!"

I wonder if Xun'er will change her mind after she finds out about Ling Quan's somewhat perverted hobby?

"Brother Xiao Yan, I apologize to you on behalf of my clan. I hope you won't mind."

Ignoring Ling Quan, Xun'er turned around and this time grabbed Xiao Yan with both hands, her face showing an apologetic expression.

However, Xiao Yan simply smiled faintly at this.

Then, he reached out and gently tucked a strand of Xun'er that had fallen across Xun'er's cheek behind her ear.

"Silly boy, why would I mind?"

Xiao Yan's tone was not blaming at all, but rather full of gratitude.

After all, Xun'er was able to choose him over her people; what more could he ask for?

In this situation, how many people would choose to condemn their own people in order to defend an outsider?

It's important to understand that, regardless of the circumstances, Xiao Yan's current status is indeed that of an outsider!

At the same time, Xiao Yan's actions caused Xun'er's cheeks to blush slightly again.

However, the intimate interaction between the two stirred up intense jealousy in Ling Quan's heart once again!

"Why doesn't Xun'er treat me this way? Besides, Xun'er just scolded me because of this guy!"

This idea kept popping into Ling Quan's mind.

However, although Ling Quan was jealous, he had learned his lesson and would not be foolish enough to speak up and offend his young lady like he had just done!

"Miss Xun'er, Elder Gu Shan and the others are still waiting, look..."

This time, Ling Quan managed to interrupt Xiao Yan and Xun'er's sweet talk with a reasonable excuse.

"I understand! Since you're here, there's no rush, is there?"

Xun'er clearly wanted to spend more time with Xiao Yan.

After all, this parting may be the last time they see each other.

Therefore, Xun'er naturally cherished the last moments she spent with Xiao Yan.

"Ah, that's natural. But may I ask who this Young Master beside Miss Xun'er is?"

Ling Quan waved his hand anxiously at first, then looked at Xiao Yan meaningfully and asked.

Although Ling Quan was trying his best to hide it, Xiao Yan could still see a strong sense of jealousy in her eyes.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan's lips curled into a smile, and he secretly tightened his grip on Xun'er's small hand.

Noticing Xiao Yan's provocative gesture, Ling Quan clenched his fists and his eye twitched.

Xiao Yan wasn't blind; how could he not see the adoration in Ling Quan's eyes when he looked at Xun'er?

Therefore, his subtle actions are tantamount to asserting sovereignty!

Because Xiao Yan had suddenly tightened his grip on Xun'er's hand, Xun'er lowered her head slightly in embarrassment, causing her to overlook the interaction between the two.

However, perhaps she gradually got used to it, and Xun'er recovered quickly.

"This is..."

"I am Xiao Yan, and I greet all the members of the Gu Clan!"

Just as Xun'er was about to introduce Xiao Yan spoke first.

At the same time, Xiao Yan also took a step forward and stood side by side with Xun'er once again.

I must say, the two of them standing together really do give off the impression of a perfect match!

However, Ling Quan would absolutely never admit it.

"So it's the rumored young master of the Xiao Clan! My apologies for not recognizing you!"

At this moment, Ling Quan also cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Xiao Yan.

Unlike Xiao Yan at this stage in the Original Work, who only had the cultivation level of Dou Ling and had been known as a good-for-nothing in the Xiao Household for many years, Ling Quan naturally looked down on him.

But this life is different!

Xiao Yan's three rises and falls have become a legendary tale, so there's no way he could be considered a waste.

Besides, isn't it obvious to Ling Quan that Xiao Yan is already Nine-Star Battle King?

Although Ling Quan himself was Five-Star Battle Emperor, he was still four or five years older than Xiao Yan.

If Xiao Yan were given another four or five years, reaching his current level would not be difficult.

Therefore, this is also why Ling Quan did not look down on Xiao Yan as he did in the Original Work.

At the same time, this once again proves that Xiao Yan has caught up with the second tier of geniuses from the Eight Great Emperor Clans!

It's safe to say that it's only a matter of time before Xiao Yan catches up with the top-tier geniuses of the Dou Qi Continent.

However, before that, there was a word in Ling Quan's words that Xiao Yan was quite concerned about.

"The Xiao Clan?"

Xiao Yan muttered to himself, frowning.

He could tell, of course, that the "Xiao Clan" Ling Quan was referring to was their Xiao Household.

But no one had ever described the Xiao Household like that before!

Moreover, for some reason, Xiao Yan suddenly felt a strange, inexplicable feeling about the term "Xiao Clan".

At the same time, not only Xiao Yan, but even Yao Lao in his Storage Ring felt a fluctuation in his soul.

He was clearly shocked by this news!

And this was the first time Xiao Yan had ever heard the name "Xiao Clan" in his life!
