Humans, starting with chat groups, rampage across the heavens.

"Young Master Lu, please wait a moment while I consider it."

After listening to Lu Chen's words, Xiao Xun'er pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.

"Go ahead!"

Lu Chen shrugged.

"Brother Xiao Yan, come with me for a moment. I have something to tell you."

Xiao Xun'er stood up, leaned slightly apologetically towards Lu Chen, and then pulled Xiao Yan outside the courtyard.

"Brother Lu, what do you think Huo Huo and the other guy will talk about?"

Xu Qi'an asked with some curiosity.

"It all boils down to our identities and our relationship with Huo Huo."

Lu Chen spoke calmly.

……

Outside the courtyard at this moment.

"Little Xun'er, is there anything you want to ask?"

Xiao Yan knew that Xiao Xun'er must have many questions in her mind at this moment.

Xiao Xun'er stared at Xiao Yan for a few seconds, then spoke softly and gently:

"I never imagined that Brother Xiao Yan would have so many secrets that even Xun'er didn't know."

Xiao Yan, no longer displaying the goofy demeanor he displayed in front of Lu Chen and the others, smiled and said:

"I was also very shocked when I found out about Xun'er's identity."

"Brother Xiao Yan, I'm so sorry for keeping this from you for so long..."

Xiao Xun'er spoke with a guilty expression.

"fine!"

"No matter who you are, all I know is that you are my little sister Xun'er!"

Xiao Yan spoke with a firm tone.

Upon hearing Xiao Yan speak, a happy smile immediately appeared on Xiao Xun'er's face, and she then said:

"Brother Xiao Yan, what are the backgrounds of your friends?"

"this……"

Xiao Yan paused for a moment, then spoke slowly:

"Sister Xun'er, I can't tell you about Brother Lu and the others' identities right now. Can I tell you when the time is right?"

"Uh-huh."

Xiao Xun'er nodded slightly and did not press for an answer.

"What is Xiao Yan's relationship with them?"

"very good!"

Xiao Yan spoke with certainty:

"I trust them completely, just as I trust my little sister Xun'er."

After listening to Xiao Yan's words, Xiao Xun'er nodded thoughtfully, then turned to look in a certain direction and said:

"Mr. Ling, contact my father and tell him that I have encountered an emergency and need him to come over in person."

As Xiao Xun'er finished speaking, Ling Ying's figure appeared in the open space.

Seeing Xiao Xun'er's serious expression, Ling Ying was filled with doubt, but she still obeyed.

After Ling Ying left, Xiao Xun'er stepped forward and hugged Xiao Yan, saying emotionally:

"Brother Xiao Yan, if my father comes, he will definitely take me back to the Ancient Clan."

"What should we do then?"

"Should I go and talk to Brother Lu..."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan was at a loss for words.

Before Xiao Yan could finish speaking, his mouth was covered.

Feeling the softness on his lips, Xiao Yan froze on the spot.

Xiao Xun'er retreated immediately, her pretty face serious as she looked at Xiao Yan and said:

"Brother Xiao Yan, you belong to me now. If you dare to mess around with other women while I'm away, I'll..."

"No, no, that won't happen!"

"My heart can only hold Xun'er!"

Seeing the scissor shape that Xiao Xun'er was making in her hand, Xiao Yan, with his strong survival instinct, immediately shouted a promise.

After Xiao Yan hugged Xiao Xun'er and said a few more mushy words of love, the two returned to the courtyard together.

"Young Master Lu, please wait a moment. I have already had someone contact my father."

Xiao Xun'er sat down and spoke softly.

Just as Xiao Xun'er finished speaking, a spatial rift suddenly appeared out of thin air above Wutan City.

The next moment, a figure emerged from the spatial rift and appeared directly in front of Lu Chen and the others.

"Father!"

Upon seeing Gu Yuan appear, Xiao Xun'er immediately stood up and went to greet him.

Ling Ying also appeared in the courtyard, kneeling on the ground and bowing:

"This old servant greets the clan chief!"

Lu Chen was also looking at Gu Yuan with curiosity.

To Lu Chen's disappointment, Gu Yuan showed absolutely no trace of the domineering aura of a peak nine-star Dou Sheng. Dressed in simple coarse linen clothes, he looked like an ordinary middle-aged man.

Looking at Xiao Xun'er in front of him, a tender look flashed in Gu Yuan's eyes.

Although the father and daughter spent very little time together, Gu Yuan's love for Xiao Xun'er remained undiminished.

"Xun'er, you asked Ling Ying to call your father over, but has he encountered some danger?"

Gu Yuan spoke slowly, his gaze sweeping over the others in the courtyard as he spoke.

With Gu Yuan's strength, he could naturally tell at a glance that the energy in Lu Chen and the other two's bodies was not battle qi.

This situation surprised Gu Yuan somewhat.

"Father, let me introduce you. This is Brother Xiao Yan."

Hearing Xiao Xun'er's words, Gu Yuan withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Xiao Yan.

As someone who had been through similar experiences, Gu Yuan could immediately tell that his daughter's attitude towards Xiao Yan was unusual.

Furthermore, Gu Yuan had already learned some things about the relationship between Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Yan from Ling Ying's report.

Gu Yuan looked at Xiao Yan with scrutinizing eyes, and quickly noticed something unusual.

Sensing Gu Yuan's divine sense and knowing he had been exposed, Yao Chen no longer concealed himself. He flew out from the storage ring on Xiao Yan's hand, cupped his hands in a salute to Gu Yuan, and said:

"Yao Chen greets Clan Chief Gu!"

"Are you a member of the Medicine Clan?"

Gu Yuan asked with a hint of curiosity.

"I have long been expelled from the Medicine Clan and can no longer be considered a member of the Medicine Clan."

Yao Chen spoke without any expression of sadness or joy.

Gu Yuan didn't ask any more questions after hearing this. He was just curious about why there was a soul body next to Xiao Yan. As for what happened to Yao Chen, Gu Yuan was not interested at all.

Xiao Xun'er then spoke again:

"Father, this is Young Master Lu, a friend of Brother Xiao Yan. I invited you here today because Young Master Lu wants to make a deal with you."

"trade?"

Gu Yuan turned his gaze to Lu Chen.

"Greetings, Clan Chief Gu Yuan. My name is Lu Chen."

Lu Chen stood up and said with a faint smile.

"Young friend Lu Chen, what kind of deal do you wish to make with me?"

Gu Yuan stared intently at Lu Chen, as if trying to see through Lu Chen's secrets.

"this."

Lu Chen took out the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade and spoke.

Seeing the Imperial Jade in Lu Chen's hand, Gu Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he slowly said:

"Is this the imperial jade of the Xiao clan?"

"That's right, but now it belongs to me."

Lu Chen smiled faintly and said:

"I'm short on time. We all know what this thing is for, so let's get straight to the point. Is Patriarch Gu interested in acquiring this Imperial Jade?"
