A blurry figure standing with hands behind its back appeared abruptly within Xiao Xue's field of vision.
It was strange; Xiao Xue suddenly had a feeling that something was not right in that direction.
When she looked over, she could only see a blurry back.
However, within her Soul Power perception, there was nothing there.
Even though a person had suddenly appeared in her line of sight, she did not feel the slightest sense of incongruity.
Moreover, it seemed that only she could see that person.
The others around her did not notice his existence.
Xiao Xue was shocked. From this move alone, she could tell that the other party's Soul Power was far above her own.
If such an expert wanted to kill her, she wouldn't even have the chance to react.
Xiao Xue directly cast a [ Detect ] at the figure:
[ Name: Gu Yuan ]
[ Rank: Level 99 ]
(I won't write out the rest fully.)
Xiao Xue was slightly stunned; she had not expected Gu Yuan to come in person.
Could it be... that something was wrong with the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame on Xun'er?
Otherwise, based on the original story, the guard beside Xun'er was only a Dou Huang.
The one who came to pick her up to return to the Ancient Races was just a deputy commander with a different surname.
That commander, Ling Quan, might have only been a Dou Wang at the time.
In the Ancient Races, while Dou Zuns were not as numerous as cow hairs, they could at least be found in groups, and Dou Zongs were everywhere.
To find two people with different surnames in the Ancient Races who were below the Dou Zong level probably took quite a bit of effort.
It was like the number one expert in the Martial Forest randomly grabbing a mediocre fighter from a crowd to protect his daughter;
or a CEO of a listed company letting the head of security at the company gate pick up his daughter from school...
Of course, if you say Xun'er went to a border region with few experts and didn't attend a noble school, and needed to keep a low profile, I can understand that.
After all, flying a helicopter to pick up a child from school is not something a normal person does.
But even if you want to keep a low profile, couldn't you send one of your own deputies, disguised as an ordinary person, to follow your daughter?
With something as important as the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, sending a Dou Sheng or a half-saint might cause trouble, but sending a Dou Zun or Dou Zong shouldn't be difficult, right?
The Xiao Family is only so small; if they really wanted to find her, how could they not?
— — I always feel like Xun'er isn't his biological daughter.
Therefore, if there wasn't a major issue, would that busy Clan Chief of the Ancient Races lower himself to personally come to this small Jia Nan Academy?
Moreover, Gu Yuan clearly had something he wanted to discuss with her now.
Otherwise, with Gu Yuan's Emperor Realm Soul, if he didn't want to be discovered, even she would not be able to Detect him.
Xiao Xue had thought about meeting Gu Yuan, but she had not expected it to be today, and in this manner.
She took off the ring on her hand and then used the peach blossom mark on her left hand to summon Medusa.
After Medusa appeared beside her, Xiao Xue handed all the rings containing Ah Li and Yao Chen to her, told Medusa to return Yao Chen's storage ring to Xiao Yan, and then go wait outside the Inner Academy.
If there is anything, contact me using the peach blossom at any time.
Presumably, Gu Yuan would not want Yao Chen or Ah Li to overhear their conversation.
Rather than letting Gu Yuan take action, it was better to send them away in advance herself.
Although Medusa was curious, she said nothing and left with the rings.
The next moment, just as Xiao Xue was about to walk towards Gu Yuan, she felt her vision blur.
By the time Xiao Xue regained her senses, she didn't know when she had ended up standing behind Gu Yuan.
The two of them had already left the Inner Academy and appeared on a mountain peak a hundred miles away.
The strongest person of the Ancient Races and the strongest of the younger generation of the Xiao Clan had met in such a dramatic fashion.
Gu Yuan still had his back to Xiao Xue, his hands behind his back. He turned his head slightly and said softly, "Little girl, you are quite good."
Xiao Xue: "Mm, I think so too."
You are right.jpg
I'm awesome.jpg
Xiao Xue remarked that a big shot is indeed a big shot; he saw through the essence of the matter at a glance.
Gu Yuan: "..."
Gu Yuan could not help but laugh, "It is the temperament of youth after all."
"However, your mindset is quite good."
Apart from Xun'er and the Xiao Xue before him.
Among the little ones of this age, he probably couldn't find another one in the entire continent who dared to speak to him like this.
After all, even without releasing Dou Qi pressure, any junior with a bit of strength could see that his strength was far above theirs.
When those juniors saw him, they were either respectful, hoping to get some guidance, or trembling with fear, worried about inadvertently offending him.
Xiao Xue's attitude made Gu Yuan feel that this little girl was quite unique.
— — As expected of Xiao Xuan's descendant.
He slowly turned around and looked Xiao Xue up and down.
Xiao Xue also looked directly at Gu Yuan without any avoidance.
Gu Yuan looked like an ordinary middle-aged man.
But the unique temperament about him made people subconsciously trust him.
And in the eyes of Gu Yuan as he looked at Xiao Xue, there was a trace of undisguised surprise.
He had reached the Peak Nine-Star Dou Sheng for over a thousand years.
When the various Ancient Races had not yet declined, he had seen countless brilliant geniuses.
However, even those geniuses possessing the Dou Di Bloodline could not compare to the young girl before him.
With Gu Yuan's discernment, he could naturally see that Xiao Xue's Xiao Clan Bloodline had not yet awakened.
"A Dou Wang under seventeen, seventh-grade Soul Power, the ice-fire attribute Bone Chilling Flame, and also... the Heavenly Fox Bloodline. Didn't this Bloodline disappear long ago?"
"To think that a remnant soul survived, and you happened to encounter it... tsk tsk, what a lucky fellow." Gu Yuan muttered to himself.
After all, the Heavenly Fox race, like the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix and the Nine-Headed Heavenly Serpent, were Demonic Beasts that had already disappeared from the continent.
Discovering that there was Heavenly Fox Bloodline in Xiao Xue's body, and that Xiao Xue even had a remnant soul in her hands, Gu Yuan was naturally extremely shocked.
However, he would not go so far as to snatch it.
Because this level of Bloodline was already useless to him.
Moreover, Bloodlines that had already been fused were not easy to extract.
The Ancient Races' Dou Di Bloodline had not yet dried up, so he would not make the juniors of the Ancient Races abandon the near for the far; leaving it to Xiao Xue was fine.
However, just because Gu Yuan wouldn't snatch it didn't mean the Heavenly Fox Bloodline wasn't strong.
One must know that in the ancient era, the Heavenly Fox Bloodline was even on par with the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Bloodline.
