Chapter 172 Gu Yang

The conversation between Gu Xun'er and the elders of the clan was carried out gently in the hall. The elders were full of praise for her cultivation that was close to the realm of Dou Huang at such a young age.

"Xun'er, your talent is indeed extraordinary. The ancient clan is expected to reach a higher level under your leadership. Maybe Xun'er will be able to recreate the glory of his ancestors in the future." An elder said kindly.

"Yes, your achievements are not only a personal honor, but also the pride of our ancient clan." Another elder also praised.

At this time, Elder Guyang, who had been silent all this time, slowly spoke, with a hint of imperceptible depth in his voice:

"Xun'er, your progress is gratifying. Regarding the Xiao family's Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, I want to know if you have successfully obtained it?"

Gu Xun'er nodded slightly and answered concisely and forcefully: "Elder Gu Yang, I have successfully obtained the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade. But it was not by force or stealing, but by negotiating with the Xiao family. Equal exchanges resulted in mutually beneficial transactions.”

Elder Guyang smiled slightly, and that smile seemed to hide a deep meaning:

"Very good, you did a good job. I don't think I need to say more about the importance of this treasure to the ancient clan. Your wisdom and methods are indeed extraordinary."

Although his words were calm, the other elders vaguely felt something strange.

Elder Guyang usually doesn't talk much, but every word he says seems to have some kind of purpose, which is elusive.

"Elder Guyang is always so thoughtful," an elder said tentatively, "His care is always just right."

The other elder nodded slightly, but secretly thought in his heart that although Gu Yang's behavior was impeccable, it always felt like something was wrong.

Gu Xun'er also noticed the subtleties in Elder Gu Yang's words. This elder seemed not as simple as he seemed on the surface.

However, she didn't pay too much attention and continued to talk to the elders about some things outside.

The elders of the ancient tribe did not delve into the concern of Guyang, perhaps because he had always been in charge of affairs related to the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, so his concern for this matter seemed natural.

In their minds, Elder Guyang's concentration on this important task is just a manifestation of his responsibilities.

After all, in this ethnic group where loyalty and honor are the cornerstones, no one would easily doubt the identity and loyalty of a senator.

As one of the core members of the Ancient Clan, Guyang's status and credibility seem to be unquestionable.

Under this peaceful surface, no one expected that there might be a bottomless undercurrent hidden under the calm water.

While the elders of the ancient tribe were discussing the matter related to the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, Gu Xun'er's eyes involuntarily drifted towards her father Gu Yuan. Only Gu Yuan could accurately interpret the eagerness in that gaze.

Gu Yuan felt his daughter's gaze, his heart moved slightly, and he immediately understood her hint.

"Xun'er, as a father, I am deeply pleased that your cultivation has improved." Gu Yuan's voice rang out among the crowd, breaking the elder's words of praise, "But while you are pursuing a higher realm, don't neglect your family. inheritance.”

"Father's teachings, Xun'er will keep them in mind." Gu Xun'er answered respectfully.

Gu Yuan nodded slightly, then turned his head, with a calm face, and said calmly to the elders present: "Elders, we might as well continue the discussion about Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade another day. Today my daughter and I We met again and wanted to have a good chat with her in private, so we took our leave first.”

The elders looked at each other, seemingly a little surprised, and were about to ask questions, but Gu Yuan did not give them a chance. He continued decisively: "Please leave first. Xun'er and I have some private matters that need to be discussed in a quiet environment. talk."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Yuan grabbed Gu Xun'er's wrist, fighting energy surged around his body, and the space was slightly distorted under their feet.

In the eyes of everyone, Gu Yuan and Gu Xun'er turned into a stream of light, shattered the space in an instant, and disappeared into the hall.

Elder Gu Yang watched the two people leave with his brows furrowed. Although he had countless doubts in his heart, he knew that Gu Yuan's strength was extraordinary and not something he could easily guess.

Considering his identity and the current situation, he did not show any more emotions. He just stayed for a moment and then quietly left.

…

In a hidden courtyard of the ancient tribe, there is a light fairy mist all around, and exotic flowers and plants are blooming, exuding an alluring fragrance.

Exquisite pavilions and pavilions are scattered in an orderly manner, surrounded by gurgling streams, and the sound of water is clear and sweet. The entire courtyard is like a fairyland on earth, filled with an otherworldly atmosphere.

The space fluctuated slightly, as if it was torn apart by invisible force, and a crack quietly appeared.

In this crack, the figures of Gu Yuan and Gu Xun'er gradually became clear, as if they were immortals who had stepped through the void.

Their appearance was without a hint of fireworks, but full of shocking majesty.

Gu Yuan's temperament is as calm as a mountain, and every step he takes seems to contain the truth between heaven and earth.

Gu Xun'er was like a fairy under the moon, floating gracefully out of the dust. Every breath she took was integrated with the ethereal atmosphere of this small courtyard.

As the space crack healed, Gu Yuan cast his gentle gaze on Gu Xun'er, his voice full of curiosity, and asked: "Xun'er, what is it that makes you so eager to communicate with your father alone?"

Gu Xun'er did not answer immediately, but slowly took out the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade from his arms, handed it to Gu Yuan, and said softly:

"Father, this Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade was exchanged between me and the Xiao family. Their exchange terms were the remains of a Dou Sheng and the essence of a ninth-level demon beast. After some consideration, I agreed to their request."

Gu Yuan stretched out his hand and the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade fell lightly into his palm.

He squeezed it slightly, but the jade pendant was unusually strong, leaving no traces and remained intact.

After this test, Gu Yuan was sure that this Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade was not fake.

After a long silence, Gu Yuan finally spoke slowly: "Your choice is correct. The value of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade in our hands far exceeds these resources. Since we have reached an agreement with the Xiao family, we should keep our promise."

Hearing Gu Yuan's words, Gu Xun'er showed a relieved smile on her face. She was originally worried that the elders in the family would have objections to this transaction, so she came to her father first to discuss it.

Before Gu Xun'er could speak, Gu Yuan sighed lightly, his tone heavy, and continued: "However, you must understand that the remains of the Dou Sheng and the essence of the ninth-level magic beast are extremely rare treasures.

"The Xiao clan is no longer as good as it was in the past, and no longer has the qualifications to trade with the Gu clan on an equal footing. If this matter is heard by other elders, they may oppose this matter because of the precious resources and their views on the Xiao family. "
