The thought of having no cultivation techniques to practice after leaving the Dou Qi Pavilion, and having to face her father's helpless and disappointed gaze, filled Xiao Mei with even more sorrow.
Just then, a large hand suddenly appeared and gently patted Xiao Mei's slender shoulder: "I'm here, don't be afraid."
Upon suddenly hearing that familiar voice, Xiao Mei looked up with delight: "Brother Xuanyuan..."
At this moment, Xiao Xuanyuan, holding Xun'er who looked unwilling, grinned, revealing his clean and even teeth, and smiled caringly at Xiao Mei.
"Brother Xuanyuan..." In her despair, Xiao Mei suddenly saw the boy she had longed for day and night, and could no longer hold back her tears as she threw herself into Xiao Xuanyuan's arms.
"Waaah..." After throwing herself into Xiao Xuanyuan's arms, Xiao Mei pressed against his chest, tears streaming down her face.
Xiao Mei's sudden action really startled Xiao Xuanyuan and Xun'er.
"What...what's going on?" Feeling Xiao Mei's tears soaking his clothes, Xiao Xuanyuan was at a loss and helplessly turned his head to look at the beautiful girl to the side.
She glared at him fiercely before saying angrily, "I told you to leave, but you wouldn't. Now look what happened! You'd better deal with it yourself."
Xun'er was so jealous that she angrily shook off Xiao Xuanyuan, then turned her head away, pouting and looking like she didn't want to talk to him.
Seeing Xun'er's expression, Xiao Xuanyuan smiled helplessly. This little girl was good in every way—good personality, gentle, and talented. Her only flaw was that she was too jealous. She couldn't tolerate Xiao Xuanyuan interacting with other beautiful women, otherwise she would get angry.
He didn't argue with her, but gently patted Xiao Mei's back, comforting her, "Sister Xiao Mei, your brother Xuanyuan is here, what are you afraid of? Alright, alright, stop crying..."
Under Xiao Xuanyuan's gentle comfort, Xiao Mei's breathing gradually calmed down. The crying and sobbing stopped abruptly.
After venting her emotions, Xiao Mei finally regained some composure. She raised her slightly reddened eyes, a hint of shyness flashing in her alluring gaze.
"Brother Xuanyuan, I'm sorry, I've gotten your clothes wet."
After Xiao Mei noticed the strange looks she was getting from the surrounding area, she wished she could disappear into the ground and hide, because it was just too embarrassing.
Seeing Xiao Mei blush and cover her face with her hands before snuggling back into his embrace, Xiao Xuanyuan glanced at both ends of the passageway and understood what was going on.
He shouted at both sides twice: "Go about your business, what are you looking at? What's so interesting?"
The members of the Xiao family of the same generation all recognized Xiao Xuanyuan. When they saw that it was him speaking, they all turned back to their senses with awe and dared not look in their direction again.
Seeing this, Xiao Xuanyuan stopped and comforted the beauty in his arms with a smile: "Alright, it's nothing. With me here, who would dare to laugh at you?"
"Brother Xuanyuan, have you made enough of a scene?" Seeing Xiao Xuanyuan speaking gently to Xiao Mei, Xun'er could no longer hold back. With a cold expression, she forcefully pulled Xiao Xuanyuan's hand over.
Seeing that the little girl was about to lose her temper, Xiao Xuanyuan quickly said, "Sister Xiao Mei, there's not much time left. I'll open the light barrier for you right away." Xiao Mei then left Xiao Xuanyuan's embrace, feeling very shy and somewhat reluctant.
With an awkward smile at Xun'er, Xiao Xuanyuan immediately circulated his internal fighting spirit, and in the blink of an eye, two pure flames, one black and one white, appeared in his hands.
Two opposing flames of different colors in his hands instantly clashed and merged together. Xiao Xuanyuan's hand seals were incredibly fast, and his technique was extremely swift. In the blink of an eye, his hands had each merged into a strange ball of light, half black and half white.
"The Art of Reincarnation, the Eternal Millstone!"
Right from the start, Xiao Xuanyuan used his strongest move, striking the light screen in front of him hard.
With a crack, the light barrier shattered instantly under Xiao Xuanyuan's powerful attack, turning into specks of light that dissipated.
Just then, the sound of ding-dong echoed throughout the entire Dou Qi Pavilion, reaching every corner, and was heard by all the clansmen in the entire Dou Qi Pavilion.
Xiao Xuanyuan was quick-witted and agile. In a flash, he rushed into the room, grabbed the light blue scroll, and ran towards the wooden door.
The instant Xiao Xuanyuan rushed out of the wooden door, a red light screen slowly condensed again, transforming into a new protective light screen with flowing red light.
"That was close."
He paused, stopping steadily in front of Xiao Mei. After catching his breath and circulating his internal energy, Xiao Xuanyuan grinned and handed the light blue scroll to Xiao Mei.
Xiao Xuanyuan's series of actions were completed in the blink of an eye, yet they were as smooth and effortless as flowing water, without the slightest hesitation or delay, like a veteran who had been through countless battles, his skill honed through rigorous training.
The time spent in this was only a breath, or the blink of an eye for Xun'er and Xiao Mei.
"Such speed!" Xun'er and Xiao Mei were both surprised at the same time.
Reaching out to take the light blue scroll, Xiao Mei's pretty face immediately lit up with excitement. This was a high-level Yellow Rank cultivation technique, the highest-level technique among all the wind-attribute cultivation techniques in the Xiao family's inventory.
"Finally got it." Xiao Meiyu held the light blue scroll in one hand and stretched out her other hand to stroke it repeatedly, looking very fond of it.
At this moment, since all the rooms in the Dou Qi Pavilion had been re-established with light screen protection, all the young men and women who had not obtained the cultivation techniques, or who had obtained them, had to leave.
So, one by one, all the tribespeople around the small passage began to leave.
"Alright, let's go." Looking at Xun'er's sullen expression, Xiao Xuanyuan felt a little helpless. This little girl was too jealous. Regardless of whether she was angry or not, he grabbed her hand and forcibly pulled her towards the entrance of the Dou Qi Pavilion.
Before leaving, Xiao Xuanyuan also called out to Xiao Mei, and the three of them left together.
Once you exit the wind-attribute passage, the main gate is not far ahead.
Approaching the heavy gate, a dozen cold-faced guards stood watch beside it. At the corner of the gate, an expressionless old man sat upright in a chair, holding a pen and a thick notebook in his hand.
The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo
Chapter Sixty-Two: The Strongest Member of the Xiao Family (Happy Lunar New Year, Year of the Dog)
At this moment, a number of clansmen were lined up in front of the old man. All of them took out the fighting qi techniques they had found from their bodies, and the old man registered them in a book. Only then did they walk out through the gap between the guards on both sides of the giant gate under the cold scrutinizing gazes of more than a dozen guards.
This is a procedure for leaving the Dou Qi Pavilion. Before entering the Dou Qi Pavilion, Xiao Xuanyuan and the others were informed in detail, so they were not surprised at the moment.
All the cultivation techniques in the Dou Qi Pavilion were painstakingly collected by the family over a dozen generations. Therefore, these techniques are the foundation for the Xiao family to establish themselves in Wutan City. Consequently, the family has extremely strict protection measures for these techniques.
The materials used to record the cultivation techniques in the hands of Xiao Xuanyuan and others were made from a special kind of black bamboo. This bamboo is divided into two parts, the mother and the child. The mother part is only the size of a palm, but the child part can spread for dozens of meters around. As long as the person in charge of the Xiao family's cultivation technique holds the mother part, the mother part will sense if someone takes the child part of the cultivation technique out of the mother part's monitoring range.
The mother bamboo in the clan has a monitoring range that covers the entire Xiao family territory. Therefore, any cultivation scroll that leaves the Xiao family will be detected. Of course, this is not 100% effective in monitoring and controlling the cultivation scroll. If the person possessing the cultivation scroll is powerful enough, they can forcibly sever the mother bamboo's sensing ability. However, a powerhouse of this level would not be interested in such low-level cultivation techniques.
Xiao Xuanyuan, pulling along Xun'er who was pouting and half-heartedly resisting, came out with Xiao Mei and the other two. By this time, there were already dozens of people queuing in front of the Dou Qi Pavilion.
Seeing the angry girl beside him, Xiao Xuanyuan opened his arms and pulled her into his embrace, then affectionately breathed hot air into Xun'er's delicate earlobe. Xun'er was still sulking and didn't want to pay any attention, but under Xiao Xuanyuan's forceful offensive, she had no choice but to give in.
"How annoying!" Xun'er's ears turned bright red, then her pretty face flushed, and she lowered her head shyly.
Many younger members of their clan were rushing towards them, and when they saw this scene, their jaws nearly dropped to the floor in astonishment. What was going on? A question mark flashed through everyone's minds.
Xun'er, the most beautiful girl in the Xiao family, with a face as beautiful as an angel, skin as smooth as jade, extraordinary talent, and a good personality, was thus conquered?
Ignoring the strange looks and envious, jealous gazes around him, Xiao Xuanyuan had Xiao Mei stand in front, Xun'er in the middle, and him in the back. But Xiao Mei was disobedient and wanted to go to the back. Shaking his head, Xiao Xuanyuan agreed.
And so, Xiao Xuanyuan held Xun'er in his arms in the middle, with Xiao Mei behind him.
"Xiao Mei, have you seen Xiao Yan?" A thought flashed through Xiao Xuanyuan's mind, and he turned to ask Xiao Mei behind him.
Looking around, Xiao Mei said, "I didn't see him. I don't know if he came out or not."
After waiting for a while, Xiao Xuanyuan still couldn't spot Xiao Yan around. Just then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a rather familiar figure walking over from the fire-attribute passage.
Soon, Xiao Yan arrived, but there were more than a dozen people behind Xiao Mei, so he had to go to the very back of the line.
"Xiao Yan, I need to talk to you later. Remember to wait for me outside the Dou Qi Pavilion." Xiao Xuanyuan turned around and called out to him.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan merely glanced in this direction and then fell silent.
However, Xiao Xuanyuan's voice was a bit loud, attracting the attention of the old man and the guards in the corner by the door. The old man just looked over curiously and then continued copying.
Seeing that Xiao Yan didn't speak, Xiao Xuanyuan didn't call him again. He just whispered and playfully teased Xun'er.
The old man simply copied down the names of his clansmen and the names of the techniques he was using for record-keeping. Therefore, the group ahead moved quickly, and it wasn't long before it was Xun'er's turn.
Upon seeing Xun'er standing before him, the usually expressionless old man surprisingly revealed a slightly respectful smile. His withered, aged hand took the cultivation scroll that Xun'er had placed on the table and quickly registered it.
Standing aside, Xiao Xuanyuan was unconcerned. With the mysterious talent of Heavenly Vision Divine Eye brought by his rebirth, he naturally knew Xun'er's identity and background very well. As for this old man, Xiao Xuanyuan also saw through his identity.
This old man held a rather high position in the family, known as the Cold-Faced Man Xiao Han. Even the clan leader, Xiao Zhan, had to treat him with utmost respect, and he never gave him any face when speaking to him. His cold, old face was as if the muscles had become stiff.
Xiao Xuanyuan just used his Heavenly Vision Divine Eye to check, and this cold-faced man Xiao Han's Dou Qi has reached the peak of the Nine-Star Great Dou Master, just one step away from stepping into the Dou Ling realm.
Xiao Xuanyuan had seen all the elders of the Xiao family with his Heavenly Vision Divine Eye. The patriarch, Xiao Zhan, was a seven-star Great Dou Master, the First Elder, Xiao He, was a five-star Great Dou Master, the Second Elder, Xiao Ying, was a four-star Great Dou Master, while Xiao Xuanyuan's grandfather, Xiao Yuntian, was only a three-star Great Dou Master. Therefore, it can be said that Xiao Han was the strongest person Xiao Xuanyuan had seen so far.
Not long after, Xiao Xuanyuan had finished registering the cultivation scroll in his hand. He originally wanted to wait for Xiao Mei, but Xun'er forcefully pulled him out of the Dou Qi Pavilion.
Breathing in the fresh air outside, Xiao Xuanyuan felt a bit more invigorated. The air inside the Dou Qi Pavilion was so stuffy that it made one feel drowsy after a while.
Seeing Xiao Xuanyuan and Xun'er come out, a figure walked over with a smile, his gaze fixed on the entrance of the Dou Qi Pavilion, and asked with a smile, "Xuanyuan, how did it go?"
Xiao Xuanyuan laughed heartily and walked forward, patting him on the shoulder with both hands, saying cheerfully, "It's nothing, this is no problem for me."
"That's good, that's good." Xiao Yuntian's old face beamed with joy.
"Now that things are settled, grandfather and granddaughter should go back and have a drink to celebrate." However, when Xiao Yuntian looked at Xun'er, a hint of respect crept into his eyes: "Xun'er, why don't you come along too? After all, you and Xuanyuan..."
As Xiao Yuntian spoke, he glanced at Xiao Xuanyuan, gesturing to the two of them.
“No problem.” Before Xun’er, whose cheeks were already flushed with embarrassment, could even agree, Xiao Xuanyuan readily agreed. “But Grandpa, you should go back and prepare first. Xun’er and I still have some things to take care of.”
"What is it?" Xiao Yuntian asked again.
"Alright, stop asking so many questions. Just go back and prepare." Xiao Xuanyuan pushed Xiao Yuntian with both hands, signaling him to leave.
"You've had this temper since you were a child." Xiao Yuntian shook his head helplessly, then walked away.

Chapter Sixty-Three: Affection (The author wishes everyone a Happy Chinese New Year!)
What are you doing here?
Xun'er initially thought Xiao Xuanyuan was waiting for Xiao Mei and tried to drag him away. However, Xiao Xuanyuan was stubborn, saying he had something to do and didn't want to leave. Helpless, Xun'er stayed with Xiao Xuanyuan and waited in a shady spot outside the Dou Qi Pavilion.
"Waiting for Xiao Yan."
A short while later, Xiao Mei also came out. She waited with Xiao Xuanyuan.
"What are we waiting for him for?"
"I have something to discuss with him." After saying this, Xiao Xuanyuan fell silent. At this moment, Xun'er and Xiao Mei exchanged a glance and gave a knowing, bitter smile. They had no choice but to stay with him.
After waiting for a while, Xiao Yan slowly walked out of the Dou Qi Pavilion.
"This guy is always so slow," Xiao Xuanyuan complained, then remained silent and did not move forward.
Xun'er and Xiao Mei also saw Xiao Yan. They looked at Xiao Xuanyuan with some curiosity and said, "Brother Xuanyuan (Brother Xuanyuan), Xiao Yan is out."
"Please don't argue, I have my own plans." After saying this, Xiao Xuanyuan affectionately took Xun'er's hand, signaling her to relax.
After waiting for a while longer, Xiao Yan still hadn't noticed Xiao Xuanyuan and the other two. He simply walked slowly down a bluestone path, his hands behind his head. Soon he disappeared into the bamboo forest.
At this moment, Xiao Xuanyuan pulled Xun'er and caught up, while Xiao Mei followed behind them.
