What Do You Call a Benevolent and Reasonable Person in Xianxia? An Impossibility! (BTTH)

Gu Qinghan looked at Gu Lie blankly and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

As soon as Gu Lie finished talking about arranging a marriage for himself, he asked himself how he felt about Xiao Yan. He had no intention of concealing his purpose.

"Well, Lord Gulie, what do you mean by asking this?"

Although Gu Qinghan understood in his heart, he still pretended to be stupid and asked.

Not to mention that Xiao Yan himself has several wives, and Xiao Yan himself is not the kind of person who flirts with women. The past few years of getting along with each other made Gu Qinghan understand that if all kinds of accidents did not happen to Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan would Now there should be only one wife for the Little Medical Fairy.

What's more, Xiao Yan is the person Xun'er likes, and is even willing to fight against the family for Xiao Yan. The reason why Gu Qinghan followed Xiao Yan in the first place was Xun'er's request. It was Xun'er's trust in him, and he had feelings for Xiao Yan. It was true, but if he really got married to Xiao Yan, he would be really cruel to Xun'er.

"Tsk, you girl, I've already made it so obvious and you still don't understand?" Gu Lie smacked his lips, and then said: "What I mean is, if you feel good about that kid, why not take this opportunity to give you and How about we make an engagement?"

"Engagement?"

Although he had heard what Gu Lie meant just now, hearing Gu Lie's straightforward words still made Gu Qinghan couldn't help but tremble his eyebrows, and he spoke after a long while.

"But that's Miss"

"It is impossible for Miss and him." Before Gu Qinghan finished speaking, Gu Lie interrupted directly, "I admit that Xiao Yan's strength is indeed good, even compared with the younger generation of the Eight Clans. An extremely outstanding existence.”

"But for our ancient tribe, strong personal strength and talent alone are not enough."

For the Eight Clans, especially the marriages involving the clan leader's children, they must attach great importance to them. However, this is based on two aspects. One is talent and strength, and the other is the family background of the other party.

It is true that talent and strength are important, but for the ancient tribe, your talent and strength do not need to be ridiculously high, as long as you can reach the level of a genius.

What the Ancient Clan really valued was the power behind the other party. This was the Ancient Clan's primary criterion for choosing a fiancé for Xun'er, and they finally settled on Lei Dong, who had both strength and family background.

As for Xiao Yan, his strength is definitely sufficient, and it can even be said to be beyond the judgment standards of the ancient clan. However, the family background behind him is almost equivalent to none. Even if the Tianhe Alliance is included, it is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the ancient clan. .

In other words, Xiao Yan is not qualified to marry Xun'er at all, and has no chance at all.

"But then again, it is such a pity that such a talented young man with incredible strength just missed the ancient clan." Gu Lie gently pinched his chin and said slowly: "You have been following him these past few years. You should have seen with your own eyes the various deeds he has done in the past few years. In just a few years, he has unified almost all the forces in Zhongzhou except the Soul Palace. This achievement is unprecedented and unprecedented. "

"Although our ancient clan can also do this, we have to admit that it is definitely not as fast as him, nor as good as him. What's more, Xiao Yan himself has no family background. This means that Xiao Yan almost relies on his own His ability has enabled him to do something that only the Eight Clans can do. This achievement is truly remarkable, and the Ancient Clan will definitely not lose out if they have a good relationship with him.”

"Of course, that boy's current strength is already outstanding among the younger generation, and he also founded the Tianhe Alliance. If he just randomly attracts an ancient woman to get engaged to him, he will easily be criticized. What's more important is the status of the ancient woman he chooses. If it is not enough, it will be difficult for both parties to take it seriously, and the marriage alliance will naturally not be that strong. "

"After much thought, you are the most suitable among the ancient clan."

Speaking of this, Gu Lie paused and glanced at Gu Qinghan.

"As for the young lady, you don't have to worry. I heard from Gu Zhen and the others that Xiao Yan has no interest in the young lady at all. He treats her completely as a younger sister. In other words, it is purely unrequited love for the young lady. "As he spoke, Gu Lie shook his eyebrows in displeasure, and continued: "Although it is uncomfortable for Xiao Yan to ignore the young lady's love, it is indeed a good thing for us, whether it is because of the big identity gap between Xiao Yan and the young lady. Dare to be thoughtful, or just treat the lady as a sister, the result will be the same. "

"The only one who truly agrees and supports this relationship is the young lady herself."

Gu Lie spoke calmly and said this fact that was especially cruel to Xun'er.

Yes, this is what makes Xun'er most uncomfortable. This relationship that he values ​​​​is not supported by anyone except himself, including Xiao Yan.

"It is difficult to hold on to a relationship alone. If a person is walking aimlessly towards a road that does not know where it ends, that determination will only be slowly worn away during this period of time. It's all over." Gu Lie turned around and put his hands behind his back, and said leisurely: "In my opinion, it will be a matter of time before the lady gives up on this relationship, so you don't have to worry."

Hearing Gu Lie's words, even Gu Qinghan couldn't help but agree in his heart, because Gu Lie was not forcibly misinterpreting the relationship between Xun'er and Xiao Yan, but that was the fact.

However, Gu Qinghan was not at all happy in his heart.

Xun'er is a person who has been opposed by everyone and silently insists on her feelings for Xiao Yan. "You don't have to be too nervous. Things don't have to go to this point." Gu Lie looked at Gu Qinghan slightly, "I just told you in advance so that you can be mentally prepared. If there is really a need for engagement and alliance in the future, you know what to do, right?"

Gu Qinghan's eyes were slightly startled, and after a long time, his expression was dim, and he nodded lightly.

"Yes"

On the other side, Xun'er took Xiao Yan into the space door opened by Gu Lie. After stepping in, the scene changed again, and they came to a solemn and ancient courtyard. Two ancient clan guards stood solemnly at the gate of the courtyard. Xiao Yan was shocked when he felt it. The two guards guarding the gate were actually low-level semi-saints!

Xiao Yan was amazed again in his heart. The peak of the Nine Revolutions Dou Zun was a grassroots staff, and the gatekeeper was a low-level semi-saint. This configuration should only be available to the eight clans.

And the three words [Patriarch's Mansion] were written in strong and powerful fonts on the plaque set up on the top of the towering courtyard gate.

"Miss Xun'er, welcome back." One of the guards looked solemn and greeted Xun'er respectfully, "The clan leader and the elders have been waiting inside for a long time."

As the two guards raised their hands together, the huge door slowly opened. Xun'er nodded lightly and walked into the courtyard. Xiao Yan followed her.

Walking through the huge courtyard full of flowers and flowing water, Xiao Yan secretly sighed at the huge size of the clan leader's mansion. It was not visible from the outside. After entering, he found that the clan leader's mansion was ridiculously large. It was probably larger than Xingyun Pavilion at a glance.

The breeze was blowing, the birds were singing, the flowers were fragrant, and the ancient and colorful scenery made people feel happy. Along the way, Xiao Yan also saw many ancient clan guards. Their strength was the same as the two standing at the door. They were all at the semi-saint level. Even the guards closer to the inside were stronger, and there were even high-level semi-saints!

(I finally understand why Senior Yao said that we must make friends with the eight clans.)

Xiao Yan thought to himself that when he founded the Tianhe League in the past few years, Yao Chen mentioned the eight clans to Xiao Yan more than once, and strongly warned Xiao Yan that if he wanted the Tianhe League to develop smoothly to the end, he must get along well with the eight clans.

To be honest, Xiao Yan has built the Tianhe League to its current level in the past few years, and he is somewhat arrogant in his heart. Even Xiao Yan himself does not deny this. This trip directly destroyed Xiao Yan's arrogance, and he came to an extremely clear conclusion in his heart.

If he really offended the eight clans, the Tianhe League that he created with his heart and soul would be destroyed in just a moment.

When Xiao Yan thought so, he followed Xun'er to the end of the courtyard. A hall with a long history that can be felt by the naked eye stood here, and two ancient clan guards of the late one-star Dousheng stood at the door.

Just as Xun'er and Xiao Yan arrived at the door of the hall, a majestic middle-aged man's voice came from the hall.

"Come in."

Xiao Yan followed Xun'er into the hall and looked around. Four dragon-shaped stone pillars stood in the four corners of the hall. The ground was covered with red carpets made of precious materials that were rarely seen even in Zhongzhou. At the top of the larger hall, there were more than a dozen not-so-high steps. On the top of the steps, a man with a short hair and a mustache who looked like a middle-aged man sat on the main seat. On the left and right sides stood two men who looked like old men.

"Father, Xun'er is back."

Xun'er came to the bottom of the steps and looked up at the middle-aged man sitting on the main seat. Xiao Yan didn't know how to address him, so he didn't say anything. He just raised his hands and clasped his fists to salute the five people on the steps, and his eyes stayed on the middle-aged man on the main seat for a while.

(Is that Xun'er's father?)

For some reason, Xiao Yan became nervous. This was inevitable. He had heard Yao Chen say before that the strongest person in the current era should be Xun'er's father.

Gu Yuan, the patriarch of the ancient clan, was at the peak of the late nine-star Dou Sheng!

Hearing Xun'er's greeting, Gu Yuan stood up and walked slowly down the steps, asking as he walked.

"Xun'er, did you gain anything from this Bodhi tree experience?"

"Father, the Bodhi tree that appeared this time was too dangerous. My daughter was unlucky and failed to get the opportunity."

Xun'er answered respectfully, and Gu Yuan's majestic expression revealed a kind look.

"It's okay, it's just an ancient Bodhi tree. If you miss this opportunity, you miss it."

Only the eight ancient clans could say that it was just an ancient Bodhi tree. Only the eight ancient clans could not take the opportunity of the ancient Bodhi tree seriously.

At this time, Gu Yuan also walked down the steps and came to Xun'er and Xiao Yan. He glanced at Xun'er, then turned his gaze to Xiao Yan, stared for a moment, and asked.

"Xiao Yan, do you still remember me?"

"When you sent Xun'er to the Xiao family when I was a child, I accompanied my father to meet you once. However, I was still young at that time, and my memory of you is not so clear. As a junior, I should have visited you long ago, but I have been suffering from the gap in status and timing. I hope you will forgive me."

Xiao Yan clasped his fists and bowed his head, answering respectfully and truthfully. Gu Yuan smiled lightly and his voice softened.

"Thank you for taking care of Xun'er in your Xiao family for these years. To be honest, I used to worry that Xun'er would not be used to being alone in your Xiao family, but through the reports of my subordinates, I found that I was worrying too much."

"As a father, Uncle Gu is right to worry about his daughter. Xiao Yan is very pleased that Xun'er has such a loving father."

Xiao Yan responded neither servilely nor arrogantly. Gu Yuan smiled and touched his chin, looking Xiao Yan up and down.

"You young man, you talk to people in a very formal way. People who don't know you would think you are old."

As he was talking and laughing, Gu Yuan's expression suddenly became serious, and he spoke in a deep voice to get to the point.

"So this time, you and Xun'er came to the ancient clan, not just to visit me, right?"

"Yes."

Xiao Yan replied in a deep voice, without hiding anything.

It's okay to use some rhetoric when facing those juniors, but when facing Gu Yuan, who is already at the top in terms of strength and status, using those little tricks is just looking for death. He is not the junior of the eight clans. He has lived for thousands of years. How can he not see what you are thinking? In this case, it's better to be honest with him.

Xiao Yan clasped his hands and spoke in a solemn voice.

"This time, I am not only here to visit you, but I am also daring to discuss something with you." Xiao Yan's face was serious, and he said in a deep voice: "I hope that the Ancient Clan can sign an alliance with the Tianhe League under my jurisdiction." (End of this chapter)
