Battle Through the Heavens: It turns out I'm actually the patriarch of the Xiao family!

Chapter 15 Sending over the ancient jade

Xiao Chen smiled, holding the cool, ancient jade in his hand, and said, "It seems you recognize this."

The expressions on their faces kept changing.

So Xiao Chen tossed the ancient jade in his hand and laughed, "Or rather, you came to the Xiao family for this ancient jade."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xun'er and Ling Ying exchanged a glance.

After a long while, the former gritted his teeth and whispered, "Senior guessed correctly."

Xiao Chen's eyes flashed coldly as he said, "When the ancient clan sent you to the Xiao family, their original intention was to have you secretly obtain this part of the Xiao family's key, right? If it weren't for the blood oath that the Xiao family's ancestors had made with your clan, some people would probably have resorted to force."

Gu Xun'er bit her red lips lightly, and after a long while, she nodded gently.

Xiao Chen put away the ancient jade, lay down on the bamboo chair next to him, and sighed helplessly.

"It's quite amusing that they've made such a fuss over the mere inheritance of a Dou Di."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xun'er's delicate body trembled, and Ling Ying's face also showed shock.

A mere Dou Di?

Doesn't that mean that the cultivation level of this Xiao family patriarch has already reached...?

"Alright, if you're asking me to give this to him, then..."

"If you want to break through and experience what it's like to become a Dou Di, then send me that ancient jade from the ancient clan."

Upon hearing this, both Gu Xun'er and Ling Ying were taken aback.

They came here to take away the ancient jade from the Xiao family.

As it turned out, the patriarch of the Xiao family actually asked them to send over their own ancient jade.

Is this...is this reasonable?

Seeing the two of them stunned, Xiao Chen chuckled and said, "I know it's crazy to ask for it directly, but I'm doing this to help your ancient clan."

Is demanding ancient jade actually helping ancient tribes?

Gu Xun'er and Ling Ying could no longer understand what Xiao Chen was saying.

"You don't need to think about anything else, just get the message across."

Xiao Chen waved his hand.

He believed that Gu Yuan would understand what he meant.

"Yes." At this point, Ling Ying didn't say anything more.

He's just a messenger, why think so much?

"Oh, right, there's one more thing."

Just as Ling Ying was about to leave, Xiao Chen suddenly spoke again.

Ling Ying glanced at Gu Xun'er, then cupped her hands and asked, "Please speak, senior."

"I am aware of the Soul Clan's recent movements, and I have thoroughly investigated all their plans."

As soon as the words were spoken, both Gu Xun'er and Ling Ying were deeply shaken.

"But I don't want to deal with so many things right now, so we'll talk about it later."

"Furthermore, I also know where the cave of Emperor Tuoshegu is located."

"Of course, that can be discussed later."

"I only have one requirement for the ancient tribe now."

"That means, don't bother me, and don't let anyone else bother me, understand?"

Little Jin, sitting on a bamboo chair nearby, couldn't help but roll her eyes at Xiao Chen's arrogant demeanor.

That guy is a nine-star Dou Sheng, can you beat him?

To be honest, they actually put on a pretty convincing act...

At this moment, Gu Xun'er and Ling Ying were so shocked that they couldn't speak.

"Alright, everyone, go."

Xiao Chen waved his hand.

Gu Xun'er and Ling Ying bowed to each other. Gu Xun'er was about to turn around, but then stopped, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is there anything else?"

After hesitating for a moment, she took a deep breath and mustered her courage to say, "Senior, I don't want to go back."

Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, "I didn't say you had to go back."

Gu Xun'er was stunned.

"I was just speaking to Ling Ying, asking him to deliver a message. Have you misunderstood?"

"I... I thought you wanted to send us away."

The girl's cheeks flushed slightly.

Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "I'm just asking you to leave my courtyard. You go back to your room, and Ling Ying goes back to the ancient clan. Is that clear now?"

"That's clear now." Gu Xun'er breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Chen yawned and looked at Gu Xun'er, saying, "What? Don't want to leave? You can't bear to part with that kid, can you?"

Her body stiffened slightly, and a blush slowly rose to her delicate face.

But then she panicked.

Could it be that this patriarch of the Xiao family doesn't approve of my relationship with Brother Xiao Yan...?

"The senior truly has keen insight."

Xiao Chen chuckled faintly, neither confirming nor denying.

With her beautiful eyes fixed on Xiao Chen, Gu Xun'er asked somewhat nervously, "What is Senior's attitude?"

"My attitude?"

"What attitude can I have?"

"Shouldn't you be more concerned about Xiao Yan's attitude?"

Xiao Chen chuckled.

"Xun'er understands."

"Thank you, senior."

After giving a sweet smile, Xun'er bowed to Xiao Chen again and said in a light tone, "It's getting late, Xun'er must go back. Please don't mention tonight's conversation to Brother Xiao Yan."

"Don't worry, I won't mention a word about it." Xiao Chen nodded.

Seeing that Xiao Chen agreed, Xun'er smiled slightly and was about to turn around when a white figure suddenly broke through the wind and came.

Slightly startled, Xun'er waved her small hand and sucked it into her palm.

Looking at the small jade bottle in her hand, Xun'er paused for a moment, then turned her gaze to the person resting with their eyes closed on the bamboo chair.

"You have good talent. Here is a pill. If you trust me, take it. It will benefit you greatly in the future, and you might even be able to enter the Dou Sheng realm ahead of time."

Xiao Chen smiled faintly.

Upon hearing this, Xun'er looked surprised, gripped the jade bottle in her hand, and nodded gratefully to Xiao Chen.

"Thank you for your concern, senior."

……

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Xiao Chen suddenly sighed and murmured, "Well done, Xiao Yan. Back then, you sneaked into Xun'er's room and inexplicably did some useless meridian nourishing exercises, but you accidentally won back Xun'er's heart. Sigh, speaking of which, you really are a lucky guy that makes people envious."

"As for me, I wasn't so lucky. There's nothing I can do about Xun'er, but..."

"Hehehe..."

Xiao Jin, who was standing nearby, couldn't stand it anymore and rolled her eyes, saying, "Hey, hey, hey, can you please stop making such disgusting laughter?"

"Sorry, sorry, I couldn't help it." Despite saying that, Xiao Chen couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.

"Xiao Jin, tell me, how would you feel if a girl who used to be your dream girl now treated you with utmost respect?"

"Tch, pathetic. I'm the Golden Emperor Dragon, what do I need a dream goddess for?"

"I'm their dream man, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen shrugged.

It seems this guy is incapable of empathizing with me.

He understood Xun'er's personality quite well.

If it weren't for that incident when she was a child, Xun'er's attitude towards Xiao Yan after growing up probably wouldn't be much different from her attitude towards Xiao Ning and others.

At home in Xiao’s house, this girl appeared gentle and kind, but beneath her faint smile lay a hidden indifference.

Saying hello to her is easy, but having a deep conversation with her is difficult.

Such a cool and aloof personality, yet tonight she treats me with such deference…

With a slightly smug smile, Xiao Chen casually put his hands behind his head and began to hum a song.

"Ah, what a wonderful night."
