Chapter 9 The Key Question From Xun'er
Xun'er's initiative was completely within Zhang Yuan's expectations.
Under normal circumstances, as the daughter of the most noble ancient imperial clan leader in this world, Xun'er would be the most favored daughter of the strongest geniuses of the top forces on the continent.
Even if her father wanted to give her a simple childhood (because she had merged with the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame since she was a child, she could not be as strong as the strongest geniuses in the clan since she was a child, so it would be better for her to grow up in a small place and plot against the Emperor Jade), the Dou Emperor's bloodline would still give her some divinity and make her look down on others.
Being cold is her normal state, and her attitude towards others is her true nature. She is only gentle to those she values, and she is considerate.
This kind of woman is the white moonlight of countless men, but she is also the most difficult woman for men to pursue under normal circumstances, because you can't cater to her preferences and prescribe the right medicine.
However, if you can make her fall in love with you, she can even give up her self-esteem and pride, and even some principles for you.
The man rides a bamboo horse and plays with the green plum around the bed.
Living together in Changganli, the two children have no suspicion.
He and the girl were childhood sweethearts, and he managed to enter each other's heart.
"Xun'er, don't worry."
"If Dou Zong is not enough, I will become Dou Zun."
"If Dou Zun is not okay, I will become Dou Sheng."
"If Dou Sheng is not okay, then I will try the legendary Dou Di."
Feeling the warmth in his arms, Zhang Yuan made his bold statement with a very confident tone.
If some strong people heard it, they might think he was ignorant and confident like a frog in a well.
But only he knew in his heart that as long as Xiao Yan rose smoothly, he could become Dou Sheng even if he was lying at home.
What's more, he had a cheat and a "plot" prophet. If he couldn't become Dou Di under the complementary situation of the two, he might as well commit suicide now.
"I believe you, Brother Zhang Yuan."
Xun'er didn't have the slightest intention of doubting, she trusted Zhang Yuan 100%.
Zhang Yuan stared at Xun'er's watery eyes and pink lips, and a strong impulse rose in his heart.
He lowered his head and wanted to kiss her.
Xun'er's heart trembled, and she instinctively closed her eyes.
But the next moment, a strong aura suddenly appeared, causing Xun'er to instinctively take a step back.
"Are you serious about taking a step back?"
Zhang Yuan was not hurt by Xun'er's action, but woke up instantly.
He thought too much about wanting to kiss Xun'er in front of Ling Ying, a tool man.
When he was a child, he secretly captured Xun'er's heart by accident, which had already made the other party very crazy.
"Brother Zhang Yuan, Xun'er has a question to ask you." Xun'er put her hands behind her back and intertwined them, and her black hair fluttered in the wind, making her look more youthful and beautiful.
But the question she asked made Zhang Yuan sweat coldly on his back.
"Xun'er and that little doctor fairy sister, who do you think is better-looking, brother Zhang Yuan!?"
Good guy, how did Xun'er know the existence of the little doctor fairy?
I just went to the Warcraft Mountains to train, and I accidentally met and lived with the little doctor fairy for a few months, but I didn't formally confirm the relationship.
That's right, it must be Ling Ying, the Douhuang strongman that the ancient clan had finally found and was responsible for running errands for Xun'er.
He dared to go out and have fun because he guessed that Xun'er would definitely let Ling Ying protect him in secret. He also did some tests to confirm this when he was training in the Monster Mountain Range.
He must have been the one who reported it!
But he couldn't say anything yet.
"Ahem, Xun'er, I still need to solve the problem of Brother Yan not being able to practice. I'll leave for a while and talk to you at dinner tonight." Zhang Yuan turned around and slipped away.
It would definitely not work to admit defeat directly, as that would lay hidden dangers for the future.
But for the time being, he didn't have the confidence to be domineering, so he could only use the "drag" strategy.
Fortunately, Xun'er didn't investigate further. She smiled and watched him leave with a teasing look.
When Zhang Yuan disappeared, a man in a black robe suddenly appeared beside Xun'er, kneeling on one knee and said, "Miss, there is something I don't understand."
"You say!" Xun'er turned her head to look at the rolling clouds, her temperament became cold, and her eyes were as calm as an ancient well.
"Why don't you investigate the matter of the little doctor fairy?" Ling Ying asked.
He was actually overstepping his bounds by asking this question, which was a manifestation of disrespect for superiors and inferiors.
If he was still in the ancient clan, the clan rules alone would be enough to punish him.
But he was appointed by Gu Yuan to "protect" Xun'er, but he didn't pay attention and let Xun'er be captured by a "country boy", which was a capital crime.
When Zhang Yuan went out for training, he was sent by Xun'er to secretly guard him. God knows how happy he was when he found Zhang Yuan hooking up with a new woman, and he immediately reported it, hoping that Xun'er would be disappointed with Zhang Yuan and cut off their love.
As a result, Xun'er wrote to him to protect him wholeheartedly and observe whether the woman Zhang Yuan hooked up with was reliable. If she was reliable, he would ignore her, and if she was not, he would kill her.
Why was he so tolerant?
"Why do you want to investigate further?" Xun'er didn't care about Ling Ying's usurpation, and said lightly: "I will return to the family after I become an adult. When that time comes, how likely do you think it is that Brother Zhang Yuan will appear in front of me?"
Xun'er is the patriarch of the ancient clan, the daughter of a nine-star peak Dou Sheng, and is destined to stand at the top of the Douqi Continent in the future.
If you want to see her in the future, you need to have at least the strength of Dou Zun, and you need to have the strength of Dou Sheng to marry her.
If the Xiao clan had not declined, and Zhang Yuan was a direct descendant of the Xiao clan, there would be some chances.
As for now, it is almost impossible!
"I understand." Ling Ying felt that he had figured out the key points.
It was true that Xun'er liked Zhang Yuan, but she rationally knew that the two of them were not a good match and could not be together in the end.
That's why she doesn't care if Zhang Yuan finds a new woman.
"Yeah." Xun'er responded casually.
Ling Ying understood?
Understand shit!
She won't give up being with Zhang Yuan.
If Zhang Yuan can become Dou Zun or even Dou Sheng in the future and come to the ancient tribe to propose marriage, that would be the best.
If Zhang Yuan is not strong enough, it doesn't matter. She will keep practicing and become stronger. When she is strong enough, no one in the ancient tribe dares to oppose her, then she can marry Zhang Yuan naturally.
Of course, it is good to have confidence and ideas, but the difficulty of realizing these two situations also needs to be faced.
If Zhang Yuan is not good enough and she is not strong enough, at least Zhang Yuan still has a woman to accompany him.
I don't pursue it because I don't know whether I can be with Zhang Yuan in the future.
"Wait for cousin Zhang Yuan to leave, you continue to protect him in secret." Xun'er said in a gentle tone.
"I obey your command." Ling Ying readily agreed.
Knowing that his young lady just wants a pure first love, most of the burden in his heart has been lifted.
After a change of thoughts, he said, "Miss, if I didn't think too much, Master Zhang Yuan would have noticed my existence."
Ling Ying admired Zhang Yuan's cultivation talent and intelligence from the bottom of his heart.
As long as the Xiao clan was still there, Zhang Yuan might have won the beauty.
"It doesn't matter." Xun'er smiled faintly, "Brother Zhang Yuan didn't say it clearly, so he tacitly agreed. Just think of yourself as his protector."
Ling Ying naturally didn't dare to have any opinions, nor did he worry about Xun'er's safety.
Xun'er had the means left by Gu Yuan, so she could escape even if she met a Dou Sheng. He was just an assistant, not a bodyguard.
At the same time, on the official road from Wutan City to the capital of the Jiama Empire, Nalan Yanran sat in the carriage, staring at the long sword in her hand in a daze.
This sword was a gift from her master Yun Yun, but the leather rope (jianjiang) on the hilt was something Zhang Yuan gave her half a year ago.
The sword is paired with a sword, and the sword is paired with a sword.
"Junior sister, that man is so arrogant, can I think of a way to stand up for you?"
A voice suddenly came from the side, disrupting Nalan Yanran's thoughts.
She frowned and said, "Thank you, senior brother, there is no need to do this. What that man said is not wrong. It is indeed the wrong way for me to break off the engagement. If I am wrong, I must admit my fault."
The young man who spoke shook his head and said, "You can't say that. You have become a disciple of Yunlan Sect, and you are the disciple of the sect master. He is losing face for our Yunlan Sect."
"And he kept saying that this empire is not named Yun, which clearly looks down on our Yunlan Sect."
Hearing this, Nalan Yanran felt a little more irritated.
She wanted to ask back, is Zhang Yuan wrong?
The old sect master of Yunlan Sect, Yunshan, has been in seclusion for many years. The outside world is saying that he has fallen. The strongest person in Yunlan Sect now is her teacher Yun Yun, who is not as good as Jia Xingtian of the royal family of Jia Ma Empire. The comprehensive strength of the two forces is also very different, not to mention that Jia Ma Empire has more than one royal family.
But as a disciple of Yunlan Sect, she can't say such things.
"Brother, why didn't you go and argue with that guy?" Nalan Yanran changed the subject.
"At that time, I felt that I was an outsider and it was not good for me to interfere in your private affairs." The young man said calmly: "But now that I think about it carefully, he has belittled my Yunlan Sect in his words. That shouldn't be let go. I should teach him a lesson."
Nalan Yanran observed the young man's expression, and suddenly a trace of sarcasm rose in her heart.
She understood that this senior brother deliberately said these words to gain her favor.
"Brother, you are so kind." Nalan Yanran smiled.
The young man was shaken by this smile and secretly rejoiced at his wit.
But the next moment, his expression froze.
"It's not far from Wutan City now, and it's still in time to go back."
"Please challenge that man and let him know how powerful my Yunlan Sect is."
"Do you really think that you can be arrogant just because you are a captain of the Black Armor Guard?"
Naran Yanran looked like he had rekindled his fighting spirit.
The young man swallowed his saliva and asked, "You said that man is the captain of the Black Armor Guard?"
Zhang Yuan looks like he is not yet an adult, but he is actually a late-stage Dou Shi?
"Yes." Naran Yanran nodded: "He was a seven-star Dou Shi half a year ago, and now he may be an eight-star, but I believe he is definitely not as good as you, senior brother."
"By the way, Yanran has never asked, what realm are you in, senior brother?"
Young man: ""
His master Ge Ye is just a great Dou Shi, and he is just an eight-star Dou Shi.
"I'll go out and talk to my master about this." The young man felt ashamed to continue staying in the carriage.
"Heh." Nalan Yanran curled her lips lightly and continued to stare at Jianjiang in a daze.
Zhang Yuan seems to have a good relationship with Xiao Yan. Should he let him go after three years?
At the same time, Zhang Yuan returned to the training room and breathed a sigh of relief.
Facing Xun'er, who was devoted to him, he was indeed a little guilty for flirting outside.
He was really afraid that Xun'er would say, "I took the entire ancient clan to play with you, and you took me as air and went to play with a poisonous woman."
