I am the right way to defeat you

"Someone's coming soon, stand still!"

Outside the Xiao family's door, Xiao Zhan put his hands on Xiao Yan's shoulders, looked at the displeased look Xiao Yan gave him, and sighed deeply with helplessness in his heart.

If he hadn't been holding him down, Xiao Yan would have run off to who knows where. When would he ever be able to stop worrying about his son?
At this moment, Xiao Zhan caught a glimpse of two figures, one big and one small, slowly walking towards the Xiao family. Xiao Zhan's expression froze, and he immediately patted Xiao Yan's shoulder and motioned him to stand still. Xiao Yan also looked over in confusion, and Xun'er next to him also looked in the direction he was looking.

And just as Xun'er guessed, they were two extremely familiar figures.

His father Gu Yuan, and his younger self.

Gu Yuan brought the little Xun'er to the gate of the Xiao family. Xun'er looked carefully at this girl with a cold face but a hint of timidity in her eyes, and her eyes were dazed for a moment.

By the way, it was indeed like this when I first came to the Xiao family as a child. On the surface, I looked cold and aloof, but in fact, my heart was full of anxiety about the future.

"Mr. Gu Yuan, I hope you can forgive me for not welcoming you in person."

Xiao Zhan bowed respectfully to Gu Yuan. He didn't know Gu Yuan's true identity, but he was sure that the other party was someone that the Xiao family could not reach.

Gu Yuan's expression was indifferent. He just nodded slightly and raised his hand to push the little Xun'er out from behind him.

"I'll leave my daughter in your care."

"Please rest assured, Mr. Gu Yuan. From today on, she is my adopted daughter. I will definitely treat her as my own daughter!"

Xiao Zhan assured him in such a solemn voice. Gu Yuan nodded slightly and glanced at the little Xun'er.

"You can handle the teachings of the clan yourself."

Ok?
Xun'er, who was standing aside, was stunned for a moment, and it took her a while to come back to her senses. The young herself seemed to be too uneasy and did not notice the words left by Gu Yuan at all.

The teachings of the clan? Of course it is Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade.

But what did Gu Yuan mean when he told her to figure it out herself?
"Yan'er, take your sister Xun'er out to play."

At this time, Xiao Zhan gave this instruction to Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan responded and without caring about the response of the little Xun'er, he directly pulled her away from here and ran towards the back mountain excitedly.

After the two of them went far away, Gu Yuan looked at Xiao Zhan and spoke softly.

"Chief Xiao, does your Xiao clan have an ancient jade that has been passed down from generation to generation?"

When Gu Yuan said this, Xun'er, who had not yet left, felt like she was struck by lightning.

This. Is this something that can be asked directly?
When Xiao Zhan heard Gu Yuan's question, he raised his eyebrows in confusion and then answered.

"There is an ancient jade that has been passed down from generation to generation, but I don't know what it is used for. Mr. Gu Yuan asked what it is?"

Xiao Zhan did not hide anything and said it directly. After all, with the difference in strength between the two, there was no point in hiding such a thing.

The premise for hiding it is that the strength of both parties is equal. What's more, apart from the fact that it has been passed down from generation to generation, the ancient jade is of no help to the Xiao family. It can't be sold for much money. If it wasn't something passed down from generation to generation by the patriarch, Xiao Zhan would have given it up long ago.

Then, under Xun'er's shocked gaze, Gu Yuan raised his hand and made a request to Xiao Zhan.

"Please, Chief Xiao, hide the jade well and don't let anyone see it, especially my daughter." Gu Yuan looked at Xiao Zhan sincerely and said word by word, "This is my request as a father, please!"

"Mr. Gu Yuan has said so much. As a father to you, I have no reason to refuse." Xiao Zhan chuckled and did not ask the reason in detail. He raised his hand and responded: "Please rest assured, Xiao will do it." Then Gu Yuan said goodbye to Xiao Zhan and disappeared from the spot in an instant. Xiao Zhan also returned to the Xiao family, leaving Xun'er standing there in a daze, invisible to everyone.

She had no idea that Gu Yuan had said these words to Xiao Zhan.

No wonder when I first came to the Xiao family, I searched the entire clan but couldn’t find the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade. It turned out that Xiao Zhan had hidden it in advance, and Gu Yuan had asked him to do it!
As for the reason, Xun'er was so smart that she understood it instantly. There was only one reason.

That is Gu Yuan’s sincere hope, that he can stay in the Xiao family longer.

In the ancient tribe, she is the highly regarded daughter of the tribe leader.

And here, I am just a little girl who doesn't need to bear too much responsibility.

"Father."

Xun'er's eyes became slightly moist, and then she suddenly realized something was wrong.

Wait? Isn't this Xiao Yan's brother's memory?
How could Brother Xiao Yan know the conversation between Xiao Zhan and Gu Yuan just now?

"Who is it!" Xun'er's expression suddenly became serious, and she said coldly, "This is not Brother Xiao Yan's memory. This is an illusion you made up!"

"Haha. What a smart girl."

Following a steady and old laugh, an old man whose body was made entirely of dead wood slowly tore through space, appeared in front of Xun'er, and chuckled.

“This is indeed not Xiao Yan’s memory, but it is also not an illusion made up by this old man. It is something that really happened in the past.”

Xun'er looked at the old man in front of her with an uncertain expression. She did not sense any hostility from the other party. She suppressed the doubts in her heart and saluted respectfully.

"Excuse me, Senior, who are you?"

“Wow~ You are so polite. You are worthy of being the girl who grew up with Xiao Yan.” The old man stroked his beard and replied softly, “My name is Ancient Bodhi Tree, but the one standing in front of you is just a fragment of my soul.”

Bodhi tree? !
Xun'er's pupils suddenly contracted. Why did the ancient Bodhi tree appear in Xiao Yan's soul? Could it be because of Bodhi mind?
The ancient Bodhi tree saw Xun'er's doubt and raised his hand to stop her.

"Don't think too much. I was just asked by someone to help Xiao Yan because he lacks something and needs my help." The ancient Bodhi tree looked towards the back mountain and waved his hand gently. "Read Xiao Yan's past first. After reading it, you will understand what he lacks."

The ancient Bodhi tree waved gently, and Xun'er only felt a flash before her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, she had arrived at the back mountain. Xiao Yu and others had already set up tents and made fires and were waiting here, and Xiao Yan happened to run over with her young self.

"Cousin Xiao Yan!"

When the young Xiao Mei saw Xiao Yan, she rushed over to him. Xiao Ning and Xiao Yu also surrounded him. Xiao Ning spoke softly.

"Ah~ I saw you being caught by the clan leader. I thought you wouldn't be able to come today."

"Huh! Who am I? I was caught because I gave him face, otherwise I would have slipped away in a minute!"

Xiao Yan raised his neck with high spirits, not knowing what humility was. Xiao Yu, who was standing aside, noticed Xun'er behind Xiao Yan and frowned in confusion.

"Xiao Yan, who is this girl?"

"Oh! I forgot to introduce her." Xiao Yan came back to his senses, took a step back, held Xun'er's shoulders, pushed the still dazed Xun'er in front of everyone, and introduced her with a smile: "Everyone! This will be my sister from now on. Her name is Xun'er. Please get along well with her~" (End of this chapter)
