Battle Through the Heavens: He marries Xun'er, but she refuses to consummate the marriage!

Chapter 197 Xun'er: Xiao Yan, don't come looking for me again!

"As a prodigy of the ancient clan, Xun'er must know something about these things. We need to find an opportunity to ask Xun'er about it!"

Xiao Yan secretly made up his mind.

"Suit yourself. Once the Heavenly Tomb opens, most guests will be sent out of the Ancient Realm. Think it over in the next couple of days. If you miss that time, I won't care about you anymore!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's answer, Gu Nanhai's expression relaxed, showing no concern whatsoever.

Given his status, how could he not fulfill the request made by Xiao Yan, a mere Dou Zong?

"I'll take my leave now!"

After bowing respectfully, Xiao Yan left Gu Fei's mountain peak with Yao Lao and Feng Zun Zhe.

"Gu Fei, now that I have the Xiao Clan's ancient jade, I won't stay any longer. I'll come back for tea next time..."

They didn't linger in the South China Sea. After a brief spatial fluctuation, they vanished from their spot.

As Gu Nanhai and his group left, Gu Fei fell into deep thought once again.

The Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade is connected to the Ancient Emperor's Cave and is the key to opening the Ancient Emperor's Cave.

However, this Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade has long been divided into eight pieces, and without any one of them, it will be useless.

This ancient jade of the Xiao clan has been coveted by the clan's high-ranking members for many years. Now that they have obtained it, they may have other ideas.

Just now, Gu Fei was thinking that since the Gu Clan had taken the Xiao Clan's ancient jade, the Soul Clan had to know about it.

This would cause the Soul Clan to become suspicious, and some plans might be delayed again.

"When the time is right, I'll add fuel to the fire, making the Soul Clan utterly fearful!"

Gu Fei made up his mind.

His current goal is to stop the Soul Clan from carrying out their plan. Otherwise, once the Soul Clan destroys the Spirit Clan and the Stone Clan, and uses the power of the Void Devouring Flame to absorb the bloodline power of those two clans, their clansmen will become even stronger.

Gu Fei, on the other hand, needs to improve his strength as soon as possible so that he can play a key role in the future war between the two races.

……

The next morning.

Xun'er's residence.

The environment here is serene, creating an atmosphere that seems out of place compared to the ancient palace complex.

"The day after tomorrow is the day the Heavenly Tomb opens. This time, I'm fortunate to be able to enter the Heavenly Tomb with Brother Gu Fei, so I must seize this opportunity!"

In the room, Xun'er sat cross-legged on the bed, cultivating, her thoughts already drifting to the time she would spend alone with Gu Fei two days later.

"Miss, Xiao Yan has arrived!"

Suddenly, Ling Ying came to deliver a message outside Xun'er's room.

"Xiao Yan? What's he doing here?"

Inside the room, Xun'er heard these words and a look of surprise appeared on her beautiful face.

"If the young lady doesn't want to see him, I'll make him leave right now!"

"Fine, let him come over!"

Xun'er hesitated for a moment, then nodded and gave the order.

She knew that Xiao Yan wouldn't normally choose to come to her like this, so he must have something important to say this time.

A short while later, she changed her clothes and slowly walked out of the room.

"Xun'er, thank you for seeing me!"

Seeing Xun'er come out of the room, Xiao Yan smiled.

"Speak, what do you want from me?"

Xun'er frowned slightly. Ever since her coming-of-age ceremony yesterday, she had been remembering one thing: if she wanted to rekindle her relationship with Gu Fei, she couldn't have too many entanglements with other men.

If word gets out that Xiao Yan came to see him, people will misunderstand again.

"Xun'er, I wanted to ask if you know where my father went?"

Xiao Yan said meaningfully.

"What's wrong with Uncle Xiao?"

Over the years, Xun'er hadn't paid much attention to Xiao Yan, so she was unaware of Xiao Zhan's disappearance and was surprised at the moment.

"You really don't know?"

"Xiao Yan, what do you mean? Would I lie to you?"

Hearing the questioning tone in Xiao Yan's voice, Xun'er immediately became somewhat unhappy.

"I believe you!" Xiao Yan said solemnly.

Despite saying that, Xiao Yan was still full of doubts in his heart.

He remembered something: Xun'er came from an incredibly powerful ancient clan, so why did she come to his Xiao family when she was young? It must be because the ancient clan had already begun to covet the Xiao family from that time onwards.

However, Xiao Yan also understood that since Xun'er refused to tell him, there would be no result if he continued to ask.

"Xun'er, I have one more question to ask!"

Do you know about ancient jade?

Xiao Yan continued to ask questions.

"Gu Yu, why did he suddenly ask about this?" Xun'er's expression was somewhat evasive.

She was initially assigned to the Xiao family to investigate whether they possessed any ancient jade.

"You're talking about the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, right? That thing isn't exactly a top secret on the mainland!"

"Legend has it that the Ancient Emperor Jade can open the legendary Ancient Emperor's Cave... However, the Ancient Jade has long since been divided into eight parts, scattered among the eight ancient tribes!" Xun'er explained slowly.

"If it wasn't the ancient tribe, then who kidnapped Father?"

Seeing that Xun'er spoke so frankly, Xiao Yan began to doubt whether he had guessed wrong.

"Xun'er, as you know, I don't know much about the Xiao clan's past. Could you tell me more about the Xiao clan?"

Suddenly, Xiao Yan's voice softened, and he looked at Xun'er with a pleading gaze.

"The ancient Xiao clan was comparable to my ancient clan a thousand years ago. However, your Xiao clan's ancestor, Xiao Xuan, was one of the top experts on the continent at the time. In order to break through to the Dou Di realm, he did not hesitate to sacrifice the bloodline of his entire clan, but in the end, he still failed..."

"After the defeat, Xiao Xuan was severely injured due to the reduction of his bloodline power. At that moment, the Xiao clan was suddenly ambushed by the Soul Clan, and the entire clan perished... Your clan's ancestor, Xiao Xuan, is now buried in the Heavenly Tomb!"

Seeing Xiao Yan's pleading expression, Xun'er finally softened and told him all the secrets she knew from back then.

"Is our unparalleled ancestor from a thousand years ago buried in the Heavenly Tomb?"

Upon hearing that his ancestor had once possessed the strength to challenge the Dou Di realm, Xiao Yan felt an immense sense of admiration for him.

He had the idea of ​​going to the Heavenly Tomb to pay homage to the ancestor of the Xiao clan.

"Is there any way for me to enter the Heavenly Tomb?"

Xiao Yan spoke with some anticipation, then quickly added, "I simply want to go and pay respects to my clan's ancestors!"

"The Heavenly Tomb opens once every twenty years, and your Xiao clan originally had two slots!"

"However, over the years, both of the Xiao clan's spots have been used by our clan. Your chances of getting a spot back are slim!"

After saying this, Xun'er turned around and walked into the room without waiting for Xiao Yan's reply.

Before closing the door, Xun'er's last words left Xiao Yan rooted to the spot.

"Xiao Yan, unless absolutely necessary, you shouldn't come looking for me again!"
