People in Doupo: Unparalleled Talents Actually Bring a System

The two hugged each other for a long time. Xiao Ling slightly lifted up Xiao Xun'er's delicate face, stretched out his hand, and gently stroked the playful strands of hair beside Xiao Xun'er's cheek behind her crystal-like ears. Their eyes met and they stared at each other affectionately. Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and everything in the world paled in comparison to their deep affection.

At this moment, a group of fluorescent butterflies suddenly flew out from the woods not far away, like a dream.

This was a wonderful coincidence bestowed by nature. They danced around Xiao Ling and Xiao Xun'er, as if celebrating their reunion after nearly a year.

Xiao Xun'er looked at this wonderful scene with surprise, and a smile brighter than the flowers in spring bloomed on her face.

Xiao Ling looked at Xiao Xun'er's charming smile, his eyes became softer and his heart was filled with warmth.

Next, Xiao Ling and Xiao Xun'er walked out of the quiet courtyard side by side, and strolled leisurely in the back mountain of Canaan College in the gentle breeze.

Along the way, the two chatted in low voices, and laughter floated in the air from time to time.

Xiao Xun'er's lively eyes were full of curiosity and anticipation, and she would often ask Xiao Ling affectionately about his experiences outside.

Xiao Ling picked out some things that could be told, and responded patiently and carefully one by one. His words were vivid and colorful, just like he was telling a story.

The afterglow of the setting sun is like a thin layer of golden gauze, gently falling on the two people, making their dependent figures look particularly harmonious and beautiful, like an intoxicating painting, frozen in this beautiful time.

As the two walked leisurely, time passed quietly like the gurgling water.

The setting sun gradually sinks to the west, and the dazzling golden light gradually dims. A bright moon slowly rises in the sky, casting silvery light on the earth.

Xiao Ling and Xiao Xun'er unknowingly climbed a quiet hill. They sat side by side, the breeze gently brushing their hair, bringing a hint of coolness.

The moonlight is like water, gently enveloping the earth, as if covering it with a layer of dreamy veil.

The mountains in the distance were dim in the moonlight, like sleeping beasts. The chirping of insects in the grass was like a symphony at night.

Xiao Xun'er raised her head slightly, looking at the starry sky, with a satisfied smile on her lips.

Xiao Ling quietly gazed at the beauty beside him, his heart full of peace and happiness.

Suddenly, Xiao Xun'er turned her watery gaze towards Xiao Ling, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes, and asked softly, "Brother Xiao Ling, I'm a little curious, how did you get to know Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin? When you were talking about their stories just now, you just mentioned them in a few quick sentences. Is there something you don't want Xun'er to know?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ling scratched his head awkwardly, with an embarrassment on his face, not knowing where to start.

After carefully observing Xiao Xun'er's eyes which were still as gentle as before, Xiao Ling sensed something strange. If he said something wrong, he would certainly be in trouble.

Xiao Ling lowered his head slightly, and after a moment of silence, he slowly spoke: "Xun'er, in fact, my acquaintance with them was just a coincidence. At first, I saw that they were talented, so I wanted to make friends with them."

"Also, Xun'er, do you know that Xiao Yixian has a body of evil poison, and Qinglin has three blue eyes. They both have extremely special physiques. As long as they are trained properly, they have the potential to be promoted to Dou Sheng."

Xiao Xun'er was also a little surprised when she heard Xiao Ling's explanation. She was well-informed and naturally knew about these two special physiques.

Previously, she had only heard Ling Ying's report that the two women's cultivation was far superior to their peers. At that time, she only thought that the two women were talented and had some looks, so Xiao Ling brought them with him.

However, now it seems that I have overthought. These two rare special physiques have the potential to be promoted to Dou Sheng. Even the mysterious ancient races will pay attention to them.

After all, Doudi blood can help the clan members to easily break through Douzun, but it cannot help to break through Dousheng. Over the years, there have not been many Dousheng masters among the eight ancient clans.

Since Xiao Ling met two people with such special physiques outside, he would naturally bring them with him. Thinking about it this way, it is understandable.

However, Xiao Xun'er was the eldest daughter of the ancient clan after all, and the only owner of a divine bloodline in a thousand years, so she quickly regained her previous indifference.

Blinking her eyes lightly, with the corners of her mouth raised, Xiao Xun'er said with a half-smile: "Brother Xiao Ling, is it just because of talent? I don't think it's that simple~"

Xiao Ling smiled helplessly and explained, "Xun'er, stop teasing me. I really just saw their talents and thought that we might be able to improve together and support each other in the future. Since I met such talents, there is no reason for me to let them go."

Although he did have some thoughts about Xiao Yixiang and Qinglin in his heart, the time was not right and he had not put them into action yet.

After all, any man would be more or less attracted to a woman with outstanding talent and beautiful appearance.

However, Xiao Ling will not force it too much. Let things develop into whatever they are and let everything take its course.

After all, feelings cannot be forced, we can only let them develop.

Xiao Xun'er narrowed her eyes and stared at Xiao Ling, as if she wanted to find out more from those blue pupils.

However, after looking at Xiao Ling for a moment, the unevasive gaze made the slight doubt in his heart gradually dissipate.

Chapter 140 Gu Xun'er

Xiao Xun'er first slightly frowned her crescent-shaped eyebrows, then crossed her hands in front of her chest, gently clasping her arms with her crystal-clear jade fingers, and closed her eyes slightly, falling into deep thought.

After a long while, she opened her eyes again and opened her red lips softly: "Brother Xiao Ling, in that case, I will believe you." After that, she put down her hands that were clasped in front of her chest, took a step forward lightly, approached Xiao Ling, raised her head, her eyes full of trust and tenderness.

Xiao Ling looked at Xiao Xun'er's gentle and trusting eyes and could no longer suppress the emotions in his heart. He slowly lowered his head and gently kissed Xiao Xun'er on her lips.

Xiao Xun'er trembled slightly, but did not dodge. Her hands unconsciously wrapped around Xiao Ling's waist. In this warm atmosphere, the two of them kissed passionately, as if time had stopped for them.

After a long time, the faces that were pressed against each other slowly separated, and there was still a faint silver thread connecting the corners of their mouths.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Xun'er's face flushed with a touching blush, and her eyes were full of shyness and happiness.

Xiao Ling gently stroked Xiao Xun'er's face and said softly: "Xun'er, in this world, you are the most important person in my heart."

Xiao Xun'er nodded gently and leaned her head on Xiao Ling's chest. The two of them snuggled together quietly, enjoying this sweet and beautiful moment.

The two hugged each other tightly for a while and then slowly separated. Xiao Ling looked at Xiao Xun'er seriously and attentively with a thoughtful look in his eyes, and slowly said: "Xun'er, I want to ask you, is there always a guard by your side who protects you in secret?"

When Xiao Xun'er heard Xiao Ling's question, she was stunned at first, but soon regained her composure.

Xiao Xun'er nodded gently, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said: "Brother Xiao Ling is really amazing. He can actually detect the existence of Ling Ying. After all, Elder Ling is only a Douhuang now, and Brother Xiao Ling is already a sixth-grade alchemist with a strong soul perception. It is reasonable for you to find the trace of Elder Ling."

Xiao Ling nodded slightly, and then said: "Xun'er, call him out. There are some things I want to explain to him in person."

Xiao Xun'er looked at Xiao Ling tenderly, and without the slightest hesitation, she nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

Then, Xiao Xun'er gently closed her eyes and moved her lips slightly, as if she was transmitting a message. The air around her seemed to stagnate for a moment. Not long after, a black shadow slowly emerged from the void, and its figure gradually became clear. It was Ling Ying who had been guarding Xiao Xun'er.

As soon as Ling Ying appeared, he knelt on one knee to greet Xiao Xun'er and said respectfully, "Miss."

Then he bowed to Xiao Ling again. Xiao Ling nodded slightly. Ling Ying said, "Master Xiao Ling."

"Master Xiao Ling, I never thought that you would be able to discover my dark attribute skills that I thought were secret and powerful. I believe you must have noticed it when I was asking for information for the young lady in the Jiama Empire. Master Xiao Ling is indeed extraordinary, and he is worthy of being the one that the young lady falls in love with."

Xiao Ling nodded slightly, then said, "When I was in the Jiama Empire, I could sense a familiar aura from time to time. After arriving at the South College, this feeling became even clearer. After a little thinking and speculation, I guessed that you were Xun'er's bodyguard."

Xiao Ling bowed to Ling Ying and said, "Mr. Ling, I am very grateful for your hard work in taking care of Xun'er over the years."

Ling Ying quickly waved his hands and responded, "Master Xiao Ling, please don't say that. Protecting the young lady is my job."

Xun'er said hurriedly, "Mr. Ling, please don't think like that. In my heart, you have never been a servant, but an elder who is trustworthy and reliable, just like a family member."

When Ling Ying heard what Xiao Xun'er said, he did not respond, but his eyes revealed an unconcealable touch of emotion and warmth.

Ling Ying thought to herself in her heart that she had watched Xiao Xun'er grow from a naive little girl into the graceful young lady she is today, and that she had protected and accompanied her for many years. Now that she could hear such heartwarming words, all the hardships in the past were worth it.

At this moment, a white light flashed in Xiao Ling's hand, and he took out a porcelain bottle from the ring and handed it to Ling Ying.

Seeing this scene, Ling Ying looked at Xiao Ling with some confusion and asked, "Master Xiao Ling, what does this mean?"

Xiao Ling smiled faintly, stuffed the jade bottle into Ling Ying's hand, and explained: "Old Ling, this jade bottle contains a Breaking Sect Pill that I personally refined. I believe that with your many years of profound accumulation, plus the help of this Breaking Sect Pill, it should not be difficult to break through to the Dou Zong level. My alchemy skills are still insufficient, if there is anything wrong, I hope Old Ling will not blame me."

This Sect Breaking Pill was refined by Xiao Ling after he broke through to become a seventh-rank alchemist. Its quality can be considered the best among all the Sect Breaking Pills.

Upon hearing this, Ling Ying quickly waved his hand and said, "Master Xiao Ling, you are too polite. I feel ashamed to accept such a generous gift."

Xiao Ling waved his hand and said, "Mr. Ling, you have protected Xun'er for many years, this is what you deserve."

Xiao Xun'er also smiled and said, "Mr. Ling, please accept it."

Hearing Xiao Xun'er speak, Ling Ying nodded solemnly and put away the jade bottle carefully.

After putting away the jade bottle, Ling Ying said, "In that case, thank you, Master Xiao Ling."

Xiao Ling straightened his expression slightly and said, "Mr. Ling, I have something to discuss with Xun'er alone. I would like to ask you to step aside for the time being."

Upon hearing this, Ling Ying looked at Xiao Xun'er with a questioning look.

Xiao Xun'er nodded without hesitation and said, "Mr. Ling, go take that sect-breaking pill first. I will be fine with Brother Xiao Ling here during this time."

Ling Ying cupped her hands and replied, "Yes, Miss."

After saying this, his figure flashed and disappeared on the spot.

Xiao Ling looked at the direction where Ling Ying left and saw that her figure had disappeared. He turned his head and looked at Xiao Xun'er with a serious look in his eyes.

After releasing a soul barrier, Xiao Ling slowly said, "Xun'er, what I am about to say is extremely important. Don't hide it from me."

Hearing Xiao Ling's extremely serious words, Xiao Xun'er's originally relaxed expression became focused. She nodded vigorously and said, "Brother Xiao Ling, just tell me. As long as I can tell you, I will tell you without reservation."

Xiao Ling looked at Xiao Xun'er and asked solemnly, "Xun'er, I've actually been thinking that you are not from the Xiao family, but from the ancient clan, right? And in the ancient clan, your status must be high."

Hearing Xiao Ling's question, Xiao Xun'er was slightly stunned at first. After a brief moment of shock, she nodded gently and slowly admitted: "Brother Xiao Ling, you guessed it right. I am indeed not from the Xiao family, but from the ancient clan you mentioned. My real name is not Xiao Xun'er, but Gu Xun'er"

Chapter 141 Confession

Xiao Xun'er raised her head slightly, with curiosity and doubt in her eyes, and asked Xiao Ling: "Brother Xiao Ling, I am very curious, how did you find out my identity?"

Xiao Xun'er was not at all surprised that Xiao Ling would doubt her identity. However, what Xiao Xun'er did not expect was that Xiao Ling could actually guess her true origin so accurately.

Hearing Xiao Xun'er's question, Xiao Ling muttered to himself: "I have read the original novel, so I know your identity very well."

Of course, Xiao Ling would never say these things. Xiao Ling didn't intend to tell anyone that he was a time traveler, not even the people closest to him.

After a little thought, Xiao Ling came up with a suitable reason, sighed softly, and said seriously: "Xun'er, from the beginning of our acquaintance, your temperament, your abilities, and your occasional profound insights into certain things are all different from ordinary people. As time goes by, this difference becomes more and more obvious. Moreover, your cultivation talent and the resources you have at your disposal are definitely not something that an ordinary family can provide. Coupled with some accidental clues, I gradually began to have some guesses in my mind."

"Xun'er, didn't I tell you before that when I was traveling in the Jia Ma Empire, I accidentally met the soul of a Dou Zun strongman, and I rescued him. His name is Yao Chen, from the Yao Clan, one of the eight ancient clans. When he was alive, he was an eighth-grade peak alchemist, known as the "No. 1 Alchemist on the Continent."

Xiao Xun'er was slightly startled, her beautiful eyes full of surprise: "So that's the case, Brother Xiao Ling, this is really a great opportunity. There are only a few top-level 8th-grade alchemists, even in the ancient clan. I didn't expect that Yao Chen, who disappeared for decades, is actually dead and alive, leaving only a soul."

Nodding, Xiao Ling continued, "You are right. This is indeed an opportunity. It is because of Senior Yao Chen's guidance that I have achieved what I have today in cultivation and alchemy, and learned a lot of news that I have never heard of before."

"And it was because of the information revealed by Senior Yao Chen that I was able to know your true life experience and identify the token passed down by the family, thus understanding the true past of our Xiao clan."

In fact, Yao Chen did not know the origin of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, nor did he know that Xiao Ling's family was the Xiao clan that declined a thousand years ago.

Yao Chen left the Yao Clan when he was young to venture out into the world, so naturally he had no way of knowing some of the news among the higher-ups.

However, Xun'er also didn't know about this matter, so Xiao Ling used Yao Chen to explain.

Xiao Ling slowly stretched out his slender and white palm, and a cluster of dazzling golden flames instantly jumped up, like a lively elf jumping happily.

"This strange fire is the Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame, which ranks fourth on the Strange Fire List. Before this, I only knew its general situation, but knew nothing about its origin. Fortunately, Senior Yao Chen told me that the Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame is a strange fire inherited by the Ancient Clan, one of the eight ancient clans. You were able to subdue the Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame and give me a seed fire. I think your status in the Ancient Clan must be quite high, otherwise you would never be able to do such a thing."

Nodding slightly, Xiao Xun'er said, "I see. Brother Xiao Ling, if that's the case, then all this can be considered a coincidence. I just didn't expect there would be so many twists and turns. Senior Yao Chen's guidance was really the key, allowing you to know so many unknown secrets."

Xiao Xun'er's beautiful eyes moved, afraid that Xiao Ling would think too much, and said with some concern: "Brother Xiao Ling, although my identity is special, I have never had any bad intentions towards you. I am sincere when I get along with you, without any false feelings, I hope you don't misunderstand."

"I came to the Xiao clan for some purpose. My father hopes that I can have a carefree childhood and let me take care of the Xiao family. In addition, the clan also wants to take away the Xiao family's Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade. But Brother Xiao Ling, my sincerity has never changed during the days I have known you."

Xiao Ling gently stroked Xiao Xun'er's face, stared into her worried eyes, and said slowly: "Xun'er, I can see through your sincerity, and I also believe that what you said is true. No matter how respected your status is, the friendship between us is pure and sincere, without any impurities."
