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

Xiao Yan's words made Gu Yuan's brows twitch imperceptibly, and the four old men on the steps all had serious faces. They walked down the steps and were about to speak, but were stopped by Gu Yuan who raised his hand. Then Gu Yuan looked at Xiao Yan. He stared at him with a serious expression for a long time, then spoke in a deep voice.

"Xiao Yan, how do you feel about your journey since joining the ancient clan?"

Facing Gu Yuan's inquiry, Xiao Yan did not hide anything and answered very honestly.

"The ancient clan's heritage is unfathomable and far beyond the reach of the Tianhe Alliance. The two are as different as clouds and mud."

"Now that you know this, you still dare to ask me for an alliance?"

"This junior didn't mean to offend me at all. I just honestly told you the purpose of coming here. Why don't you dare?"

Looking at Xiao Yan's eyes with only respect but no fear, Gu Yuan fell silent, and his eyes couldn't help but be in a trance, as if he saw the shadow of an old friend.

The person he used to be, just like Xiao Yan, was frank in his words and deeds, and always moved towards his goals. Even though he has now become the strongest person in Dou Qi Continent, Gu Yuan still doesn't feel that he is better than that person.

This is not a question of strength, but a difference in mentality.

Gu Yuan slowly closed his eyes, opened them again after a long time, and said leisurely.

"Coming here today, I must have put a lot of effort into it, so let's stay here for now."

After speaking, Gu Yuan waved, and an ancient clan guard appeared beside Xiao Yan, speaking to Xiao Yan in a serious tone.

"Master Xiao, please come with me."

(It really didn’t go that smoothly.)

Xiao Yan seemed to have expected it, and was not disappointed by Gu Yuan's lack of response. He raised his hand to greet Gu Yuan, said goodbye to Xun'er, and then followed the ancient clan guard out of the hall.

Since Gu Yuan did not veto it on the spot, it proves that there is still discussion on the alliance. If you continue to entangle here, it will leave a bad impression on others. Take your time.

Xun'er watched Xiao Yan leave the hall, then turned to look at Gu Yuan, her eyes particularly dissatisfied.

"Father, why didn't you agree to Brother Xiao Yan? Didn't you also say before that you intend to form an alliance with the Tianhe Alliance?"

"Silly girl, that's what you said, but things are not that simple." Gu Yuanzhen shook his head helplessly and turned to look at the four old men behind him, "Elders, how do you feel about Xiao Yan? "

These four old men are the four elders of the Ancient Clan. Apart from the three Supreme Elders and Gu Yuan, who are known as the Three Immortals of the Ancient Clan and are in retreat all year round, the four of them have the greatest power of the Ancient Clan.

Gu Beicheng, Gu Nanhai, Gu Yang, and Gu Qinghan’s father Gu Lin.

"Compared to the younger generation, this boy has superior strength and a calm mind. At least for now, he can't find any faults."

Gubeicheng was the first to speak, and he judged it very fairly, with uncontrollable surprise in his heart.

In the late stage of the Three-Star Fighting Saint, not even the children of the eight clans have reached this level of strength. Even Xun'er, who is of the divine bloodline, cannot compare with it. And such a person actually comes from the Xiao clan with a poor bloodline. It is really disappointing. Unexpected.

At this time, Gu Lin also stood up and spoke.

"In the past few years, I have often exchanged letters with Qinghan. According to my daughter's evaluation, this Xiao Yan is firm-minded, kind but not stupid, and values ​​love and justice. Not to mention his extraordinary strength, his personality is also extremely rare. "

Gu Lin said this with a little helplessness in his eyes.

There is no better way to know a daughter than a father. Although Gu Qinghan's letter didn't say it clearly, Gu Lin still clearly felt Gu Qinghan's hidden feelings for Xiao Yan from the letter.

In other words, if Gu Qinghan really has no feelings for Xiao Yan, it is impossible for him to leave his position as commander and stay by Xiao Yan's side for three years just because of Xun'er's request. It must be because this man is so good that Gu Qinghan To the point where you are willing to follow him.

Before, Gu Lin still sympathized with Gu Yuan in his heart, but his daughter was only thinking about another man, and she even risked her life against the patriarch, her father, for this man.

Now it seems that I have no time to sympathize with Gu Yuan. My daughter is also in the same situation. The key is that Xun'er is yearning for the same man. In some ways, Gu Lin feels worse than Gu Yuan.

When Xun'er heard that both Gubeicheng and Gu Lin spoke so highly of Xiao Yan, she didn't show it on her face, but she was already happy in her heart.

These elders have been opposed to things between him and Xiao Yan before, but if these elders can change their impression of Xiao Yan, they will not be so repelled by their contact with Xiao Yan, and it is not impossible to get engaged directly if the situation develops. thing.

Xun'er looked solemn, looked at Gu Yuan and said Zheng.

"Father, Xun'er is willing to use everything as a guarantee. Brother Xiao Yan is definitely the most worthy partner of the ancient clan. Xun'er dares to conclude that if even brother Xiao Yan is not worthy of alliance, then there will be no one worthy of alliance in this world. "

Xun'er's voice was so firm that Gu Yuan glanced at her, sighed inwardly, and spoke slowly.

"Indeed, I also have a good impression of him, not to mention that the Tianhe Alliance now controls the entire Zhongzhou, and it is beneficial and harmless to form an alliance with him." Gu Yuan said realistically, and then looked at Xun'er, "In this way, Xun'er, I and The elders will discuss it again, you can go back and rest first."

"yes."

Xun'er nodded slightly and was about to turn around and leave when Gu Yuan gave another instruction.

"Xun'er, you are not married yet. Forget it outside, you should pay attention to your status in the family and keep a distance from Xiao Yan to avoid being criticized by others."

".knew."

Xun'er curled her lips and responded.

Although Xun'er was very unhappy about Gu Yuan's words, she knew in her heart that she was now nominally Lei Dong's fiancé. If this spread to the Lei Clan, Lei Dong himself would not care, but the elders of the Lei Clan would probably not be happy, and might even use this as an excuse to attack the Gu Clan.

Although the Gu Clan was not afraid, the Gu Clan was now on good terms with the Lei Clan, so it was better to avoid making things that would make both sides feel unhappy. The most important thing was not to let Xiao Yan be involved in the conflict between the Gu Clan and the Lei Clan.

(Forget it, just bear with it for a while.) Xun'er thought so and walked out of the hall.

After Xun'er left, Gu Yuan looked at her back and pondered, and Gu Nanhai behind him stepped forward and said respectfully.

"Master, the latest intelligence has just arrived. The Spirit Clan and the Stone Clan have also gone to negotiate an alliance with the Tianhe League."

"The Spirit Clan and the Stone Clan?" Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Nanhai, "Didn't the Black Annihilation Army send news that the Stone and Spirit Clan were annihilated by the Soul Clan?"

"It seems that it was just the Soul Palace Great Heavenly Venerable who was talking nonsense. According to Gu Zhen of the Black Annihilation Army, they and the other eight clans have met with the envoys of the Stone and Spirit Clan who went to the Tianhe League, and did not find anything wrong. It must be the Stone and Spirit Clan."

The four elders were shocked when they heard the news from the Black Annihilation Army that the Stone and Spirit Clan were annihilated. The ancient eight clans are different from those forces on the mainland. Once one side takes action, it will inevitably implicate all eight clans. This is not a joke.

Gu Yuan pondered for a moment and finally spoke slowly.

"At this time, we must pay special attention to the other eight clans. The Soul Clan did this once a thousand years ago, so it's not surprising to do it again." Gu Yuan frowned and said in a deep voice: "What's more, the strength of the Shiling and Shiling clans is the bottom of the eight clans, so it's not impossible for them to be annihilated silently."

Hearing is not necessarily false, and seeing is not necessarily true.

"Yes, sir."

The four elders responded in unison, and then Gu Yuan's expression revealed helplessness, and he raised his hand to pinch his nose lightly.

"Then let's talk about Xun'er." Gu Yuan looked rather troubled, and glanced at the four elders. "You all said before that Xiao Yan's strength and talent were average, and used this as a reason to oppose Xun'er and Xiao Yan's relationship."

"Have you changed your mind after seeing each other today?"

To be honest, Gu Yuan himself actually agreed with Xun'er's situation. First, he had known what kind of person Xiao Yan was from Ling Ying's reports over the years, and this young man was indeed worthy of Xun'er's entrustment of his life. Second, Gu Yuan was still a father no matter what, and he was not so cruel as to personally break up his daughter's relationship.

Hearing Gu Yuan's question, the four elders all looked troubled.

As Gu Yuan said, they had been rejecting Xun'er's feelings for Xiao Yan because of their unequal strength and talent, but now Xiao Yan's strength had been clearly revealed to them. To put it bluntly, even if you add up all the geniuses of the eight clans, none of them could compare to Xiao Yan. If you still objected to this point, it would be a lie.

After a while, Gu Beicheng winked at Gu Nanhai, who nodded in understanding, took a step forward and spoke to Gu Yuan.

"Patriarch, I think it's still inappropriate." Gu Nanhai looked serious and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Yan is indeed very talented, but his family background is weak. If the young lady is really allowed to be with him, I'm afraid she will be wronged."

"What's more, the young lady is now engaged to Lei Dong of the Thunder Clan. If she cancels the engagement at this time, how will the Thunder Clan view our Gu Clan?"

Gu Nanhai's words were firm, and to put it bluntly, it was for two words, benefits.

Xiao Yan's talent is indeed superior, but it's just talent, but Lei Dong's talent is not bad either, and he also has the support of the giant Thunder Clan. No matter how you choose, Lei Dong is better.

Gu Yuan's eyes were slightly wrong when he heard Gu Nanhai mention Lei Dong.

"About Xun'er and Lei Dong's engagement." Gu Yuan opened his mouth to say something, but sighed after a while, "Forget it, go on."

The more people know about this matter, the easier it is to be exposed, so I won't explain it.

Gu Nanhai looked at Gu Yuan strangely, and then continued.

"I heard that the relationship between the young lady and Xiao Yan is just one-sided love, and Xiao Yan himself has no such thoughts about the young lady. According to investigations, Xiao Yan himself is actually a very affectionate person. Most of his wives got together because of accidents, and Xiao Yan himself feels very guilty about them. Under such circumstances, I don't think Xiao Yan will accept the young lady's feelings."

"As for the alliance, the clan leader doesn't have to worry. As the Tianhe Alliance is in full swing, and the other eight clans are also interested in forming an alliance with the Tianhe Alliance, it is indeed difficult to stabilize this alliance without sufficient sincerity. Therefore, our four elders also discussed it in advance and finally reached a consensus."

At this point, Gu Nanhai looked at Gu Lin, who sighed deeply in his heart and spoke in Gu Yuan's puzzled eyes.

"Let my daughter Gu Qinghan sign the engagement with Xiao Yan on behalf of the young lady."

As soon as these words came out, it showed how hypocritical these elders were.

Xun'er and Xiao Yan, no, because Xiao Yan felt guilty about those wives and would not accept it.

Gu Qinghan and Xiao Yan, okay, as for Xiao Yan's guilt about those wives, he would not even mention it.

Although Gu Lin said this helplessly, he was not too reluctant. It was difficult for the children of a big family like them to decide their own marriage. At least Gu Qinghan really liked Xiao Yan, and it was not a purely political marriage, which was quite acceptable to Gu Lin.

To put it bluntly, Xun'er and Xiao Yan could be together, provided that there was no better candidate. Now that Lei Dong, a more outstanding marriage candidate, was in front of him, how could Xiao Yan intervene?

In Gu Nanhai's eyes, although Gu Qinghan's status in the Gu clan was not as high as Xun'er, she was also the daughter of Gu Lin, an elder of the Gu clan. In terms of status, she was definitely enough to match Xiao Yan, a young man without family background. On the other hand, Lei Dong was not something Gu Qinghan could afford.

You should do what you are in the right position. Xun'er could replace Gu Qinghan, but Gu Qinghan could not replace Xun'er. From the perspective of family interests, this was the most appropriate distribution.

Gu Yuan was also stunned when he heard Gu Lin's words, and then he immediately realized that these elders had already arranged this matter.

"You guys"

To be honest, Gu Yuan should have been angry. His daughter's marriage was arranged by these elders. As a clan leader, there was nothing wrong with that, but as a father, it was really embarrassing.

But the problem was that Gu Yuan knew what the marriage contract with the Thunder Clan was about, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he could only swallow this helplessness silently.

"Forget it, it's up to you."

Gu Yuan waved his hand, not wanting to continue to have a headache about this matter. He raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and he was very dissatisfied in his heart.

And the object of this complaint was not the four elders, but his own daughter.

Although Gu Yuan was not very happy that Xun'er and Xiao Yan became husband and wife, since Xun'er had already decided that she would be Xiao Yan in this life, and she had grown up with Xiao Yan since she was a child, how could she be so miserable? Look at how many wives Xiao Yan has, Xun'er is still a sister in Xiao Yan's eyes, which really made Gu Yuan not know what to say.

If Xiao Yan and Xun'er were in love, Gu Yuan would speak up for Xun'er, but this was obviously his daughter's unrequited love, and Xiao Yan had no interest in her at all, so how could Gu Yuan speak up? (My dear daughter, what have you been doing in the Xiao family for so many years?) (End of this chapter)
