Dou Po's Endless Devour

Chapter 216 Temporarily Living in the Ancient Clan

Everyone showed contempt, clearly looking down on the Xiao family.

If the Xiao family was still the same Xiao family as before, they would naturally not dare to neglect it. Even if Xiao Ding was arrogant, they would take it for granted and would even agree with the marriage contract between Xiao Ding and Xun'er.

But now that the Xiao family has declined to this point, it is clear that they have come to them for quick shelter and are ready to live under someone else's roof. They are used to being aloof, so how can they take it to heart?

The people of the Xiao family looked aggrieved. From the eyes of these people, they knew that their family was once very powerful, but now it is nothing at all.

They don't even bother to give them any good looks.

Xiao Ding sneered, he had known this would happen.

So instead of these people giving them a hard time, he might as well be a little more arrogant and let these people know that he and Xun'er, his fiancée in the Xiao family, are not someone they can mess with easily.

"Clan Chief, the Xiao family is so weak. Isn't it bad to come to our ancient world to live and eat for free?"

It was that bullshit elder who expressed his opinion again.

"Old man, if you don't understand the situation clearly, don't talk nonsense."

Xiao Ding was a little unhappy. This old guy was really looking down on others. He paid the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade to let his family live in the ancient world for a while.

The latter put his hands behind his back and raised his head and asked, "Ask yourself, what benefit does your Xiao family have to our ancient clan by coming here?"

"You should also ask your father-in-law why we are here."

Xiao Ding glanced at the latter: "Don't be self-righteous until the situation is clear."

"Are you teaching me a lesson?"

The old man immediately became angry and changed the subject directly: "Do young people know how to respect their elders?"

"Okay, the Xiao family has paid a sufficient price to come here. I will explain the specific situation at the elders' meeting, and arrange a place to stay now!"

Gu Yuan interrupted the two of them. He insisted that the two of them continue to talk and maybe fight.

Several elders looked at each other, thought of something, and showed some faint joy.

"Gu Li, you are responsible for arranging for the Xiao family to stay. Whatever needs they have, you must try your best to meet their needs."

Gu Yuan appointed Dao, a strong and honest man.

"Yes, patriarch!"

Gu Li respectfully accepted the order.

He is tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a square face, broad ears, protruding cheekbones, and looks somewhat angular.

"Xiao Ding, you take your people to stay here, and Xun'er comes with me."

Gu Yuan turned around and looked at the hands held by the two of them: "You won't always be together, right?"

Xun'er's face turned red, she let go of Xiao Ding's hand, and smiled awkwardly: "Brother Xiao Ding, I'll go find you later."

"Go ahead and come over when the time comes. I'll make you some medicinal food."

Xiao Ding smiled.

Xun'er took a step reluctantly, then suddenly turned around, stood on tiptoes, kissed Xiao Ding's cheek, and then ran away in a panic.

Her appearance as a young girl in love made the young people of the ancient tribe extremely bitter. How they wished Xun'er would treat them like this.

After Gu Yuan left with Xun'er, his malicious eyes fell on Xiao Ding.

Gu Li walked to Xiao Ding and said, "Everyone, please follow me."

"Trouble!"

Xiao Ding nodded. If he was polite to him, he would naturally be polite in return.

"Brother Xiao Ding, don't pay too much attention to everyone's reaction. After all, Miss Xun'er has been paying attention to everyone since the day she was born."

Gu Li chuckled: "Some brothers are similar to brother Xiao Ding. They are all still young and a bit competitive. If there is a conflict, please try to control it."

Xiao Ding glanced at Gu Li unexpectedly: "You are different from others. You are the first new face I met today that I like."

"I'm married, my kids are all grown up, I'm quite open-minded about some things, and I believe in the clan leader's vision, Xiao Ding's future development will not be bad."

Gu Li said meaningfully: "You should be the first person to talk to the patriarch like that, and the patriarch is not really angry yet."

"Brother Li is very attentive."

Xiao Ding praised, "The most important thing is not to look at us with prejudice. This is something that the elder did not do."

"Brother Xiao Ding, you've received the award. I'm just Dou Zun. Compared with the elders, there's still a big gap."

Gu Li smiled modestly.

Xiao Ding roughly understood why Gu Yuan arranged for this person to take them. This person was indeed very good at dealing with people.

The Xiao family, who were originally a little cautious, relaxed a lot because of this man's attitude.

Guli led everyone forward on the ground.

There were a lot of looks on the way, and every time we went to an area, there would be people talking secretly.

"Who are they? They feel very weak. Are they qualified to be guests of our ancient tribe?"

"I heard that this is a person from the Xiao Clan who came to join us. The Xiao Clan must have heard of it. It was one of the eight ancient tribes!"

"Isn't it already in decline? How did it get entangled with our ancient tribe?"

"They are so weak. Do they still deserve to be called one of the eight ancient tribes?"

A pair of suspicious and even disdainful looks were cast towards them, making the Xiao family lower their heads and feel a little inferior.

Xiao Ding muttered: "No one cares about you in the busy city, but you have distant relatives in the mountains when you are rich. It really is like this."

"But their level is really high."

Yun Yun sighed: "We have met no less than ten Douzongs along the way, and Douhuang is even more unusual."

"It's just relying on the power of blood. If you really want to practice honestly, you can't compare to you and me."

Xiao Ding was full of confidence.

"The power of blood?"

Yun Yun's beautiful eyes are curious.

"It is indeed because of the power of blood that all of us are generally taller."

Gu Li did not deny it and nodded: "Everyone who awakens the power of bloodline will advance by leaps and bounds. It is not difficult to become a Douzong or even a Douzun, but later on, the power of bloodline will be useless, and they may even become a master.

elbow."

The Xiao family members were stunned when they heard this.

"No wonder, I just said that I saw several young people with higher cultivation levels than me who have been practicing for decades."

"The key point is that it's not difficult to become a Dou Zun... What kind of bloodline is this?"

Yun Yun is also very curious.

For her, it is difficult to become a Douzong, and her teacher is a typical example.

"The Bloodline of Dou Emperor."

Gu Li glanced at Xiao Ding with a complicated expression: "Originally, your Xiao family also had it. Unfortunately, over the past many years, with the continuous decline, the bloodline has gradually disappeared. Your bloodline is now probably more powerful than those of our ancient clan.

Thin.”

Xiao Zhan, who didn't say much, was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but ask: "Who are the people of the ancient ethnic group?"

"They are the most ordinary and lowest-level people in this dimension, similar to the common people outside you, but because their bloodline is too thin, they cannot be considered true members of the ancient tribe."

Gu Li explained: "However, no matter how thin the blood in their bodies is, there is still a chance of awakening, and they can change their fate against the will of heaven, control powerful power, and become a true member of the ancient tribe."

"My son is so outstanding, could it be that the Dou Emperor bloodline of my Xiao family has awakened?"

Xiao Zhan asked expectantly.

"I didn't feel it."

Gu Li shook his head: "Perhaps this is where Xiao Ding is more powerful. He became a Douzong at such a young age without relying on the power of blood. He is really powerful."

Xiao Zhan was a little excited, "Then can my son compare to the top geniuses of the ancient tribe?"

Guli did not answer, but asked: "How old is he?"

"About eighteen and a half."

Xiao Zhan replied.

Gu Yuan was slightly startled and looked at Xiao Ding in astonishment: "Are you so young? No wonder the clan leader indulges you so much."

Xiao Zhan felt proud when he heard that his son was so outstanding that even people from such a powerful race would be surprised.

The rest of the people felt greatly encouraged and their faces became much better.

The eldest elder of the Xiao family said: "I wonder how Young Master Xiao compares with the top geniuses of the nobles?"

The others were also very concerned about this result and listened attentively.

Gu Yuan thought about it for a while, but still shook his head: "It can't be compared. Our Dou Emperor bloodline is very powerful. Once you improve with the power of bloodline, it is not difficult to reach a great realm in a year."

"Don't listen to his nonsense. This kind of bloodline power can indeed make people stronger, but as long as you reach the Douzun realm, their bloodline power will not have much advantage."

Yao Lao spoke secretly.

"You are finally willing to speak. I thought you were going to become mute."

Xiao Ding teased. "Humph, in front of Gu Yuan, even if he leaks a breath, let alone speaking, he will be noticed."

"What are you afraid of? You have no grudge against him. The ancient clan is not a soul clan and does not need a soul body. Even if you come out, they will not do anything to you. On the contrary, because you are an alchemist, you will be given preferential treatment.

"

Xiao Ding's words silenced Yao Lao, and he replied after a moment: "What you said makes sense, but I think we should be more cautious and not trust others too much, let alone give the initiative to others."

"Okay, then I won't disclose anything related to you for the time being."

Xiao Ding respected Yao Lao's opinion and did not have to expose it.

After walking for about a hundred miles along the way, the scenery in front of me changed somewhat.

They came to a lavender bamboo forest area with small bridges and flowing water, and the environment was quiet.

Small buildings are located in the bamboo forest, looming in the breeze.

Except for Xiao Ding, the rest of the Xiao family were stunned.

They feel like this is a paradise...

"so beautiful."

Yun Yun's eyes lit up and she fell in love with this place at first sight.

"This Mrs. Xiao is very discerning."

Gu Li smiled: "This is the Purple Bamboo Forest, which was originally used to receive guests.

You are all considered guests, so you can just stay here for a long time. Servants will provide you with basic living supplies in the early stage. Later, you can become familiar with the environment here and go to the market to trade by yourself."

Gu Li took the lead in opening the largest courtyard: "There are thirty-six courtyards here. There are large and small courtyards. You can make specific arrangements yourself. You can allocate rooms now."

"Thank you, Brother Li."

Xiao Ding cupped his fists.

"You're welcome. Let me remind you that the space in our ancient world is relatively large, wider than the other empires. However, it is a self-contained space after all. There are space cracks in some places. You are not familiar with this place. Once you fall in, you will be

A dead end.

In addition, our ancient tribe also has some forbidden areas. You must not approach them without permission, such as the descendants of the ancient tribe, to avoid causing misunderstandings."

"Does everyone remember it?"

Xiao Ding asked the tribesmen and received a positive reply, and said to Gu Li: "Thank you very much. If Brother Li is free next time, let me have the opportunity to treat you to a meal."

"good!"

Gu Li nodded: "I won't disturb your internal arrangements!"

After saying that, he asked people to hand over the keys to all the courtyards to Xiao Ding, clapped his hands and left.

At the same time, the center of the ancient world is on the holy mountain and within the holy city.

A high-level meeting has begun.

Most of the people attending the meeting were old men with snow-white hair, and there were also people wearing black armor and with powerful auras.

No matter what you look like or what age you are, they all have one thing in common: they are powerful!

These people have all reached the Dou Sheng level and are not ordinary Dou Sheng.

…

Yun Yun sighed: "We have met no less than ten Douzongs along the way, and Douhuang is even more unusual."

"It's just relying on the power of blood. If you really want to practice honestly, you can't compare to you and me."

Xiao Ding was full of confidence.

For her, it is difficult to become a Douzong, and her teacher is a typical example.

Gu Li glanced at Xiao Ding with a complicated expression: "Originally, your Xiao family also had it. Unfortunately, over the past many years, with the continuous decline, the bloodline has gradually disappeared. Your bloodline is now probably more powerful than those of our ancient clan.

Thin.”

Yao Lao spoke secretly.
