His identity exposed, Xun'er gets angry

Nalan Chenfeng looked up at Gu Xun'er and asked in a calm and casual manner.

As he spoke, Nalan Chenfeng glanced subtly into the distance out of the corner of his eye.

He had already discovered Ling Ying, and the latter had also sensed it. Therefore, if he ignored Gu Xun'er again, it would be somewhat illogical.

Within the Xiao Clan, Gu Xun'er is a problem, a very big problem. In his view, it's not appropriate to have too much interaction with her.

However, to determine the exact time of Gu Xun'er's departure, we should try to contact her today to see if we can obtain any useful information.

He originally planned to wait for Xiao Yu to return so that she could subtly probe Gu Xun'er's intentions, but he didn't expect Gu Xun'er to approach him so quickly.

It's possible that Gu Xun'er will leave soon, or she might stay in the Xiao Clan for a year or two, or even go to the Jia Nan Academy like in the original world.

Gu Xun'er came to the Xiao Clan personally escorted by her father, Gu Yuan, a Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint, with the aim of ensuring she had a simple childhood.

Even among Ancient Dou God Clans like the Gu Clan, those with lower-ranking Dou Emperor Bloodline possess the strength of Da Dou Shi or Dou Ling at the age of Gu Dong'er.

Gu Xun'er possesses the potential of Divine-Grade Bloodline from the Gu Clan and is indeed the daughter of the Ancient Clan Chief, but her own strength is too weak, which will be criticized within the Gu Clan as well.

Because of the Heavenly Flames Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame she inherited, Gu Xun'er was always in a weak state and could not cultivate quickly in the early stages. Growing up in the environment of the Gu Clan, where Dou Emperor and Dou Zong were everywhere, was not conducive to her development.

In the Dou Qi Continent, strength is paramount. Most people only care about the result and don't care about the process or the reasons. Gu Yuan must have had such considerations for his daughter to some extent.

In an environment like the Xiao Clan in the Jia Ma Empire, Gu Xun'er would not only be the most dazzling genius, but also be able to stay away from some of the troubles of the Gu Clan.

As for taking away the ancient jade from the Xiao Clan's Tou She Ancient God Jade, that was a task arranged by some elders of the Gu Clan after Gu Xun'er grew older; Gu Xun'er could choose to listen or not.

As the daughter of the Ancient Clan Chief, Gu Xun'er would not be punished even if she failed the mission.

This can be verified in the original world.

"I--"

Gu Xun'er's mouth opened slightly, feeling somewhat embarrassed by Nalan Chenfeng's direct question, and she was momentarily speechless.

Who comes up to her and immediately asks what she's doing here? This person is really...

Secretly cursing Nalan Chenfeng in her heart, Gu Xun'er lowered her eyes slightly, avoiding Nalan Chenfeng contact with him.

"It's been years since we last met. I never imagined that Brother Chenfeng had become a Dou Wang level expert. Xun'er has come to Brother Chenfeng."

"Just now in the lobby, Xun'er didn't have a chance to speak with Brother Chenfeng."

As she finished speaking, Gu Xun'er's voice trembled slightly.

Nalan Chenfeng smiled slightly and shook his head.

"I've been to the Central Plains Continent in the past few years. I'm just Dou Wang, nothing special. I'm only barely worth a look at the empires of the Northwest Continent."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xun'er's expression changed drastically, and she tensed up.

Although Nalan Chenfeng did not say it explicitly, he had probably already discovered Elder Ling's presence, just as Elder Ling had said before she came here.

Six-Star Dou King can sense the presence of a Dou Huang expert; this person's soul perception is even stronger than their talent for Dou Qi cultivation.

"I didn't expect Brother Chenfeng to have been to the Central Plains Continent. Even Central Plains Continent, Dou Wang is still considered a powerful figure."

"With Brother Chenfeng's talent, he should have no problem becoming Dou Emperor or Dou Zong in the future."

Gu Xun'er reacted quickly, blinking her clear eyes and speaking in a sweet, soft voice.

"Perhaps. Who can predict the future?"

Nalan Chenfeng responded modestly, his handsome face showing no trace of pride.

He was from another world and had a macroscopic understanding of the Dou Qi Continent; one could say he had a God-like perspective.

Dou Wang might be considered impressive in the Jia Ma Empire, but in the Central Plains Continent, they're nothing special. Even Dou Zong and Dou Zun, these powerful figures, are nothing in the eyes of people from Ancient Dou God Clans like Gu Xun'er.

Only those with the strength of Dou Sheng) are qualified to face these Ancient Dou God Clans.

"Brother Chenfeng is being modest."

Gu Xun'er didn't say much on this topic, and after a pause, she spoke.

"I wonder if Brother Chenfeng has time today? The story about the Great Thousand World that you told Sister Xun'er has been on my mind all these years, and I really want to know the answer."

Upon hearing this, Nalan Chenfeng chuckled and sighed, seemingly helpless.

"Xun'er is so stubborn—didn't I tell you before that it was all made up? Just take it as a joke and don't take it to heart."

When he was young, because his physical constitution was not yet fully developed, he could not cultivate continuously. He was also very bored, so he told Xiao Yu some stories to pass the time.

This also mentioned the ancient Great Thousand World, and Xiao Yu was very eager to share, so she told Gu Xun'er about it later.

Gu Xun'er was different from others; she was the daughter of the Ancient Clan Chief, a figure close to the pinnacle of the Dou Qi Continent. Her vision and understanding were far beyond what Xiao Yu could match.

The Great Thousand World contains countless lower planes; this single phrase easily evokes the image of the Dou Qi Continent.

The ancient Dou God of the Dou Qi Continent have disappeared, and no one on the Dou Qi Continent knows where they went.

However, people like Gu Yuan, who are among the top experts of the Dou Qi Continent, Ancient Dou God Clans, would certainly have some guesses and be able to imagine that there are other worlds outside the Dou Qi Continent.

Therefore, his remarks about the Great Thousand World were slips of the tongue from his childhood. Xiao Yu knew it was nothing, but for Xiao Dong'er, it was a different matter.

Too much talk leads to mistakes; a fall into a pit, a gain in your wit. Just to be on the safe side, it's best not to say anything more.

"Brother Chenfeng, even if it's all made up, there should still be an ending, right?"

Gu Xun'er raised her eyes, staring straight at Nalan Chenfeng, her face showing a determined look, as if she didn't know the answer and would not give up.

The Great Thousand World contains countless lower planes; this statement alone is awe-inspiring. If such a story were truly fabricated...

The person who fabricated this story must have had an incredible imagination.

"What kind of ending does Xun'er want? Let me tell you."

Nalan Chenfeng smiled faintly and asked in return.

In this Dou Qi Continent, for those who have few ways to relieve boredom, a good story can be very appealing.

"Ah, this is the ending I wanted--"

Gu Xun'er's pretty face froze for a moment, and she murmured something.

"The ending Xun'er wants, of course, is for that evil Heavenly Evil God to die in 50,000 years, Great Thousand World to return to peace."

Gu Xun'er came back to her senses, her rosy lips parted slightly, and she pondered for a moment.

That's how it ends.

Nalan Chenfeng nodded slightly and responded in accordance with Gu Xun'er's words.

Dou Qi Continent is a lower plane of the Great Thousand World. The real threat to this world has never been the Hun Tiandi, but rather the Heavenly Emperor.

These are evil gods and other Extraterrestrial Evil Clans.

The Hun Tiandi only wants to become emperor; what is in danger are the ancient races and the Central Plains Continent. People hiding in remote areas like the Northwest Continent will not be greatly affected.

The Extraterrestrial Evil Clans is quite the opposite. Under the invasion of this evil race, countless living beings, and even the energy of heaven and earth, will be reduced to food. The entire Great Thousand World will eventually be unable to escape, including lower planes like the Dou Qi Continent.

But these are all things to be discussed later. In the Dou Qi Continent, if one cannot become an emperor before others, then one's fate is no longer in one's own hands.

Since that's the case, if he doesn't become Dou God, then everyone else should wait. Anyway, he never claimed to be a Great Sage, so there's no moral pressure on him.

"Don't you think this is too perfunctory, Brother Chenfeng?"

Gu Xun'er smiled faintly, her red lips curving upwards as she gazed at Nalan Chenfeng.

"Xun'er, you need to understand that some stories don't have endings, and many things won't turn out as perfectly as you imagine."

Nalan Chenfeng shook his head, then stood up and let out a soft breath.

"Perfect--"

Gu Xun'er blinked her clear eyes, as if pondering the deeper meaning behind Nalan Chenfeng's words.

"There's no need to come up with a made-up story. Xun'er hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it myself."

Nalan Chenfeng smiled slightly, his expression one of disapproval.

Then Nalan Chenfeng's gaze suddenly shifted, looking into the distance, and stopped in a shadowy corner.

"With Dou Huang expert secretly protecting her, Xun'er's background is truly astonishing--"

Nalan Chenfeng directly exposed Ling Ying's existence without any further concealment.

Ling Ying's strength should be around Seven-Star Dou Emperor, but his soul power is only average and not outstanding.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to pinpoint the location so easily.

"Brother Chenfeng has such keen senses--"

Gu Xun'er was stunned for a moment, then stood up and murmured, clearly not surprised that Nalan Chenfeng had seen through Ling Ying's location.

"In my memory, Xun'er isn't a member of the Xiao Clan. She's been away from home for so many years; it must have been tough for her."

Nalan Chenfeng's eyes flickered, and his sigh revealed a sense of regret.

Regardless of Gu Yuan's considerations, Gu Xun'er's long-term stay in the Xiao Clan family after leaving her own family couldn't have been particularly happy. "Is he pitying me?"

Gu Xun'er stared at Nalan Chenfeng, a strange feeling rising in her heart.

Among the Gu Clan, no one ever considered her feelings, not even her father.

In all these years, her father had never visited the Xiao Clan again, and with his strength, the Dou Qi Continent was nothing but a tiny speck beneath his feet.

Land.

She still remembers this person who escorted her back to her room when she was little, and who waited at the gate of her courtyard every day to prevent Xiao Yan from doing anything bad to her.

"I don't know when Xun'er will leave the Xiao Clan, but I certainly won't stay here any longer."

"However, I hope that Xun'er will never do anything to harm the Xiao Clan, no matter what. Although I may not be able to control it, the Xiao Clan and our Nalan Family have a history."

Seeing Gu Xun'er remain silent, Nalan Chenfeng spoke softly, his words carrying a hint of barely perceptible probing.

"The elders of Xun'er's family have a past relationship with the Xiao Clan and will stay with the Xiao Clan for some time. They won't harm the Xiao Clan."

Gu Xun'er responded without hesitation.

"A period of time--"

Hearing this answer, Nalan Chenfeng was somewhat skeptical, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he feigned surprise and asked, "..."

"Do they have a past relationship with the Xiao Clan?"

"Xun'er has a Dou Huang expert as a guard, so her family must be at least Dou Zong level power. I didn't expect the Xiao Clan to have such connections and be able to get acquainted with such a powerful person."

"Luckily, I stopped Yanran today. If she had made a big fuss, it would have been impossible to handle."

As he spoke, Nalan Chenfeng took a deep breath, his face filled with shock, but also with a hint of relief; his acting skills were truly superb.

Seeing Nalan Chenfeng's expression, Gu Xun'er didn't think much of it or offer any further explanation. With a slight smile, she changed the subject.

"Brother Chenfeng acted fairly today, which truly impressed Xun'er."

"Fairness is not necessarily true. Yanran is my sister, and I cannot allow her to lose to Xiao Yan."

Nalan Chenfeng pursed his lips, his eyes flickering.

He didn't want to pry too much from Gu Xun'er, lest she become suspicious.

If Xiao Yu returns but hasn't yet gone back to the Gu Clan, then he can have Xiao Yu ask if he's going to the Jia Nan Academy, thus determining the specific time.

The most important thing right now is to cultivate, improve my strength, and strive to reach the Peak Seven-Star Dou Wang as soon as possible. With the help of that top-grade Dou Ling Pill, I hope to advance to the Nine-Star Dou Wang in one go.

If he could advance to the Dou Emperor level within a year, then taking the Green Lotus Core Flame from Queen Medusa ahead of time and plotting against the Xiao Clan would become feasible.

Even with the strength of Dou Wang, it's still a bit of a stretch; the power is slightly insufficient.

"Having a brother like Brother Chenfeng is a blessing for any girl."

Gu Xun'er's red lips curved into a smile, her words full of admiration.

"Hehe, it's getting late, Xun'er. I still have to cultivate today, so I won't keep you any longer. You should go home soon."

Nalan Chenfeng smiled, then decided not to talk to Gu Xun'er any further.

Since Gu Xun'er's goal had not been achieved, there was no need to say anything more.

He had already kept in mind the saying, "Too much talk leads to mistakes," especially in the face of trouble like Gu Xun'er.

As for taking advantage of his time at the Xiao Clan to pursue Gu Xun'er, latch onto her, and make her his woman, he never had that thought.

His surname is Nalan, not Xiao, and his family has no relationship or agreement with the Gu Clan, so those people from the Gu Clan would not hesitate to attack him.

Without any real power, Gu Xun'er was useless in the Gu Clan and had no say in anything. He didn't want to get himself into that kind of trouble.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xun'er's fair face flushed slightly, and her slender hands unconsciously tightened their grip on the hem of her dress.

Is she really that unwelcome? Why are they kicking her out? She's still not getting an answer today.

She didn't believe the ending she described.

Without saying much, Nalan Chenfeng strode back to his room, then closed the door behind him.

With a creak!

The loud slamming of the door completely shattered Gu Xun'er's concentration.

"Snort!"

Gu Xun'er felt a surge of anger for no reason. She snorted coldly, stomped her foot, and turned to leave.

The two talked for a while, but neither of them got the result they wanted.

The moon was like a silver plate, and the sky was filled with countless stars.

Xiao Yan did not return to his room. Instead, he stayed on the back mountain talking with Yao Lao, venting his years of dissatisfaction while trying his best to find ways to benefit himself.

At this moment, Xiao Yan believed that Yao Lao an Alchemist, but he was not sure if he could compare with Pill King Gu He, and still thought that Yao Lao was bragging.

"Alas, even a hero can be brought to his knees by a mere penny; where can I borrow gold coins?--"
