"Clan Leader, given Miss Xun'er's age, entering the Xiao Clan indeed won't arouse suspicion, and it will also make it easy to sniff out information, allowing her to eventually steal the Tou She Ancient God Jade by taking advantage of an opportunity."
"However, she still has to learn, after all..."
"I am willing to go!"
A Gu Clan Elder still wanted to say something, but Gu Xun'er suddenly spoke up loudly at this moment. With Gu Xun'er's opening, the elders of the Gu Clan once again focused their gazes upon her body.
"Miss Xun'er, for this kind of matter, there is no need for you to personally..."
"I am also a member of the Gu Clan, and I also want to do something for the Gu Clan! As for learning, after I enter the Xiao Clan, can't I just learn just the same?"
Having already received a hint from her father earlier, Gu Xun'er interrupted that elder's words once more at this moment with perfect righteousness.
Looking at the serious appearance of the Eldest Miss of their clan, the elders of the Gu Clan genuinely did not know what to say this time. Under such circumstances, could they still speak up to refuse, thereby dampening the enthusiasm of the Eldest Miss of their clan?
This was clearly inappropriate!
Moreover, learning was indeed something that could be done anywhere. Whether it was in the Gu Clan or in the Xiao Clan, there was no difference at all!
At this time, after Gu Xun'er finished speaking, the venue fell into a blanket of silence.
No one objected, but no one supported it either.
This caused the young Gu Xun'er to shoulder an immense amount of pressure right now. She was even prepared to give up at one point. But thinking about her father's words, she still gritted her teeth and held on.
At this moment, the Black Submerged King, Gu Lie, subtly glanced at his own expressionless Clan Leader, subsequently scanned the silent elders around him, and finally placed his gaze on Gu Xun'er.
As the number two figure of the Gu Clan, Gu Lie seemingly guessed all of his Clan Leader's calculations at this exact moment. In truth, regarding letting Gu Xun'er learn like this from such a young age, he wasn't in agreement either.
It was just that the majority of the elders supported it, plus the Clan Leader was also wavering back and forth, so he had simply been too lazy to say much of anything. Looking at it now, it was the Clan Leader who finally couldn't bear to look at it any longer!
In that case, he naturally should also voice his stance.
Anyway, he had always just followed along with his Clan Leader's will.
"As expected of Miss Xun'er, at such a young age, you already know how to consider things for the Gu Clan, this old man naturally supports it!"
After stroking his beard, Gu Lie spoke up with a smile.
"Grandpa Gu Lie."
Gu Xun'er also called out respectfully to Gu Lie at this moment.
"What Elder Gu Lie said is correct, since Miss Xun'er has such ambition, we should naturally support it!"
"That's right, Elder Gu Lie's words make sense!"
"This is truly the Eldest Miss of my Gu Clan!"
Accompanied by the opening of the Gu Clan's number two figure, Black Submerged King Gu Lie, the remaining Gu Clan Elders also voiced their stances one after another at this moment.
Gu Yuan, who took this entire scene into his eyes, revealed a microscopic smile at this moment.
All of this was within his expectations!
At the same time, this was also the best result for the Gu Clan and his daughter!
With this, the matter was finalized just like that.
Having reached a decision, Gu Yuan naturally went into action immediately. At the very first moment, he dispatched a member of the Gu Clan to investigate the current situation of the Xiao Clan.
Very quickly, Gu Yuan received the reply from that member of the Gu Clan.
"Ling Ying, tell me all the results of the investigation."
Gu Yuan spoke up with his back turned.
Behind Gu Yuan, a person whose entire body was shrouded within a black robe was standing there respectfully.
This person dressed in a black robe was precisely Ling Ying, the one widely teased by netizens as the strongest Dou Huang of the Gu Clan, a possessor of Dark Dou Qi, and also Gu Xun'er's bodyguard during her stay in the Xiao Clan!
Possessors of Dark Dou Qi were the most suitable for tasks like investigation and concealment.
Of course, it wasn't that the Gu Clan lacked possessors of Dark Dou Qi with higher cultivation levels. It was just that, in Gu Yuan's view, investigating the current Xiao Clan didn't require a member of the Gu Clan above the Dou Zong level to step forth.
Dispatching a Ling Ying with a Dou Huang cultivation level was just perfectly appropriate!
"Yes, Clan Leader! The current strongest expert of the Xiao Clan is the previous clan leader, Xiao Lin, who possesses a Seven-Star Dou Wang cultivation!"
"However, over a year ago, because he engaged in a life-and-death battle with an enemy, he was severely injured and left behind severe aftereffects. For this reason, he has already chosen to retire and handed the position of clan leader over to his son, Xiao Zhan."
"The current Clan Leader, Xiao Zhan, has a Seven-Star Dou Ling cultivation, and his wife, Yang Xiyue, is a Three-Star Dou Ling. The two of them have three children; the oldest does not exceed ten years old, and the youngest is less than four years old."
"After Xiao Zhan succeeded to the position of the Xiao Clan's Clan Leader, out of some kind of consideration, he already led the majority of the Xiao Clan members to relocate from the capital of the Jia Ma Empire to Wu Tan City."
"Meanwhile, those remaining within the capital of the Jia Ma Empire right now are all of the older generation, including the old clan leader, Xiao Lin. In addition, the Xiao Clan is suspected to possess Earth Grade Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques..."
In a sweeping, detailed manner, Ling Ying reported all the intelligence he had investigated regarding the Xiao Clan to Gu Yuan.
"Oh? In a tiny corner like the Northwestern Region, the Xiao Clan can actually still birth a Seven-Star Dou Wang, and is even suspected to possess Earth Grade Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques?"
"Compared to a few decades ago, this can be considered progress for the Xiao Clan. It's just a pity. Compared to the past peak era of the Xiao Clan, they are truly far, far apart right now!"
It was not hard to hear from Gu Yuan's words that the Gu Clan would likely gather intelligence on the Xiao Clan once every few decades.
A few decades ago, the strongest expert of the Xiao Clan indeed only had the Dou Ling level.
It was no wonder Gu Yuan would say the Xiao Clan had made progress.
However, standing at Gu Yuan's level, whether the Xiao Clan possessed a Dou Ling or a Dou Wang, none of it was worth a glance. As long as he wanted to, randomly dispatching a single clansman would be enough to annihilate the Xiao Clan!
A weakened Xiao Clan like this happened to be very suitable for him to let his daughter grow up happily. After investigating the current intelligence of the Xiao Clan thoroughly, Gu Yuan didn't hesitate either.
He directly brought his daughter, Gu Xun'er, and went right to their door to pay a visit. In order to let his daughter grow up happily, Gu Yuan naturally wouldn't choose to drop his daughter into that pile of old folks back at the Xiao Clan's ancestral mansion in the Jia Ma Imperial Capital.
Therefore, the target he chose was naturally the new Xiao Clan of Wu Tan City!
On this day, Xiao Zhan, who was in the middle of handling various affairs after the Xiao Clan's relocation to Wu Tan City, suddenly heard a report from a clansman saying that someone had come to visit him specifically by name.
Ever since the Xiao Clan relocated to Wu Tan City, over a year had already passed.
One point different from the original novel was that because the Xiao Clan possessed quite a few Dou Ling in addition to Xiao Lin, this resulted in the other factions of Wu Tan City being utterly unable to compete with the Xiao Clan!
Therefore, things like the three great clans of Wu Tan City simply did not exist at all.
In Wu Tan City, one clan dominated alone, and that was the Xiao Clan!
Factions like the Jia Lie Clan, the Ao Ba Clan, and so on did exist, but they simply didn't dare to utter a single word of defiance in front of the Xiao Clan. Being allowed to exist was already considered merciful of the Xiao Clan.
"Huh? Someone called for me by name to visit? Do we know who it is?"
An astonished expression appeared on Xiao Zhan's face.
"This, we don't recognize him. He doesn't look like a local from Wu Tan City, but the person always gives off a feeling of being very extraordinary. Oh right, he also brought along a daughter who is roughly around three years old."
The Xiao Clan member continued to report.
Hearing the clansman say this, Xiao Zhan also let out a sigh of relief.
Originally, when he heard the clansman say the person looked extraordinary, he was worried that someone had come to look for trouble. Now knowing that the other party had even brought his daughter along to the door, it was presumably impossible to be looking for trouble.
After all, what kind of decent person brings along their roughly three-year-old daughter when coming to look for trouble?
"Alright, I understand. I will go over personally right now!"
For someone who could make his own clansman use the word extraordinary, Xiao Zhan naturally didn't dare to be negligent.
