Xiao Yu paused, then nodded. "Of course I would like to. Has Clan Head Gu Yuan agreed to let me enter?"
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Gu Yuan shook his head. "Do you know what the Xiao Clan originally was?"
"..."
"I have a few suspicions..."
Xiao Yu's eyes flickered as he spoke.
Gu Yuan chuckled. "You little fellow. It seems you're still wary of me. But that's a good thing. If you trusted me so readily, you probably wouldn't have made it this far."
"You must have learned something about the Xiao Clan. Perhaps not much, but something."
"Would you care to hear a few things about its past?"
"This junior is all ears."
"Mm. Back then, the Xiao Clan was not what it is today. It was one of the Ancient Eight Clans, powerful enough to rank among the very best even within the Ancient Families..."
"The Soul Clan..."
"Xiao Xuan..."
"Tou She Ancient God..."
Gu Yuan seemed to hold nothing back from Xiao Yu, telling him everything about the Xiao Clan's past.
Xiao Yu already knew all this, so he showed no surprise after hearing it.
Seeing this, Gu Yuan nodded. Even after declining to such a state, the Xiao Clan had still produced Xiao Yu and Xiao Yan, both of whom would be outstanding geniuses even among the Ancient Families.
He could not help marveling. As expected of a clan descended from that man-it certainly produced its share of monsters.
After finishing, Gu Yuan looked at Xiao Yu and asked with a smile, "Do you understand now? Two of the Heavenly Tomb's entry slots belonged to your Xiao Clan in the first place. Now that you and Xiao Yan have grown, it is time for the Gu Clan to return the slots it has been using."
