Gu Yuan's Shock!

Within the Gu Clan's main hall in the Ancient Realm.

Clan Chief Gu Yuan sat in the seat of honor, while several Gu Clan elders stood below him. They were discussing the recent events.

"Everyone should have seen the mysterious expert revealed on the Sky Screen, right?" Gu Yuan asked, his expression grave.

After hearing Gu Yuan's words, one elder nodded. "We saw him. That man named Lu Chuan possesses the strength of a Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint, created a Heaven Tier Cultivation Technique, and even refined a Ninth-grade Pill. He is definitely no ordinary person."

"Furthermore, the Sky Screen showed that he would destroy the Soul Clan in the future and seal Soul Heavenly Emperor within Heavenly Flames Square. If that is true, his strength may be even more terrifying than we imagined."

Gu Yuan, seated to one side, immediately nodded as well. "That old bastard Soul Heavenly Emperor—I have dealt with him several times. His strength is unfathomable. Anyone capable of sealing him is indeed not to be underestimated."

"We have no idea where this expert Lu Chuan came from. If the opportunity arises, we must find a way to befriend him."

"For someone like him, even if we cannot become friends, we absolutely cannot become enemies."

The elders all nodded in agreement. Although the Gu Clan was powerful and ranked among the foremost of the eight ancient clans, they still did not dare underestimate a Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint in the slightest.

Just as Gu Yuan was about to say more, a golden light suddenly lit up within the hall.

Gu Yuan froze for a moment and looked up. The familiar Sky Screen had once again appeared out of thin air in midair. He was still wondering what it would reveal this time when he heard several elders beside him cry out in alarm.

"Clan Chief! Look quickly! That seems to be the young miss!"

"What?!" Gu Yuan shot to his feet, staring wide-eyed at the image on the Sky Screen.

The Sky Screen displayed a scene of a young man standing there, with a pregnant woman beside him. A blissful smile filled her face.

That woman was none other than Gu Yuan's daughter, Xiao Xun'er!

The moment he saw this, Gu Yuan was utterly dumbfounded. He stood motionless, mouth hanging open, his eyes fixed firmly upon the image on the Sky Screen.

"Xun'er?! Is that Xun'er?!" Even Gu Yuan's voice changed, filled with unconcealed shock and disbelief. "Why would Xun'er appear on the Sky Screen?!"

The elders beside him also saw Xiao Xun'er in the image, and every one of them was stunned.

"It really is the young miss! Why is the young miss standing beside that man with such a large belly? The Sky Screen is showing events from the future... Could it be that the young miss will marry that expert Lu Chuan?"

"In other words, the young miss will become that mysterious expert's wife?!"

The elders talked over one another, their faces filled with both shock and excitement. Gu Yuan in particular stood there with his gaze locked on the Sky Screen, unable to recover for a long while.

Seeing his daughter standing beside Lu Chuan while pregnant, her smile so happy and content, anyone could tell that she truly loved him.

A complicated emotion surged within Gu Yuan's heart. Beyond shock and surprise, there was an inexplicable sense of relief.

He had originally been racking his brains over how to befriend that expert Lu Chuan and establish a connection with him. Yet now the Sky Screen was telling him that his daughter would become that man's wife in the future?

At the same time, Gu Yuan swallowed and slowly sat back down, still looking somewhat dazed.

"Good heavens, I never expected my daughter Xun'er to become that mysterious expert's wife..."

An elder beside him leaned over, unable to hide his excitement. "Clan Chief, this is tremendous news!"

"If the young miss truly marries that expert Lu Chuan, then our Gu Clan will become related by marriage to a Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint. At that point, who on the entire continent would dare provoke our Gu Clan?"

"Moreover, that expert Lu Chuan created a Heaven Tier Cultivation Technique and refined a Ninth-grade Pill. If such a talent becomes the Gu Clan's son-in-law, it will be like adding wings to a tiger!"

Hearing the elder's analysis, Gu Yuan immediately nodded, and the shock on his face gradually turned into contemplation.

Previously, he had always felt that his daughter was still young. Furthermore, she was being fostered in the Xiao Family, so he had never considered what sort of man she might marry in the future.

Now, the Sky Screen was clearly telling him that Xiao Xun'er would become that mysterious expert's wife in the future, and she even appeared very happy.

Thinking of this, Gu Yuan felt a sudden wave of emotion. Although he knew little about Lu Chuan, based on the information revealed by the Sky Screen, this man possessed astonishing talent and terrifying strength, and he could even refine Ninth-grade Pills. He truly was an exceptionally rare talent.

If his daughter truly married such a man, it would indeed be a fine match.

At this moment, Gu Yuan could not help smiling. However, he soon composed himself. "Although the Sky Screen shows future events, the future is not set in stone. We must still remain cautious."

"However, if this truly happens, it will indeed be a good thing for our Gu Clan."

The elders all nodded, unable to conceal their smiles.

They had previously worried that the Gu Clan's position on the continent would be threatened by the Soul Clan in the future. But now, their Gu Clan's daughter was going to marry a Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint expert.

The entire Gu Clan was instantly thrown into an uproar. Many disciples and clansmen saw the content displayed on the Sky Screen and began discussing it heatedly.

"The young miss will marry that mysterious expert in the future? Heavens, this is tremendous news! He is so young, yet he is already a Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint. He may even have a chance to challenge the Dou Emperor realm in the future."

"If she truly becomes the wife of a Dou Emperor, one who has not appeared in a thousand years, her status will be unimaginably noble. Who on the continent would not treat the young miss with respect?"

"Our Gu Clan will have someone to rely on in the future. If the Soul Clan dares provoke us again, they will first have to consider whether they have the ability to do so."

Following the Sky Screen's revelation, the entire Gu Clan was immersed in shock and excitement. Meanwhile, Gu Yuan stood at the entrance to the main hall, gazing in the direction where the Sky Screen had vanished, his expression complicated.

The fact that his daughter would marry Lu Chuan in the future both surprised him and brought him a trace of relief. That Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint expert, only twenty years old, would become his son-in-law in the future!
