Hun Xiu was surprised when he heard Hun Tiandi's words. He said, "Is clan head confident in my strength?"
"Ha ha ha …"
Hun Tiandi involuntarily laughed out loud when he heard this.
He immediately shook his head and said, "No, that is not the case."
"Although your strength has broken through to the seven star Dou Sheng class, you will still be nothing in front of Gu Yuan if you were to join the Gu clan."
"The strength of a nine star Dou Sheng is not something that a seven star Dou Sheng can make up for. Of course, if you possess a Di State spirit, you might still have the ability to fight. Of course, that is only the ability to fight."
"As an advanced nine star expert, Gu Yuan has a frightening foundation and great strength. Even I may not be able to defeat him."
Hun Xiu opened his mouth, "Then clan head, just now you …?"
Hun Xiu felt a little disappointed in his heart. Hun Tiandi was speaking the truth. However, saying it in such a manner was still a 'blow' to him.
A father striking his son?
This was too normal.
The disappointment came and went quickly.
His age was obvious. Such strength was enough for him to be proud. Many of the older generation might not be a match for him.
There was no need for him to compete with the strongest people on the continent. The strongest people on the continent were his father Hun Tiandi and his father-in-law Gu Yuan.
Surpassing them was only a matter of time.
There was no need for him to compete with them now. They might not be a match for Hun Xiu in a few years' time.
… …
Hun Tiandi said, "Originally, I thought that Gu Yuan had sent Gu Dao to invite you to the Gu clan for some scheme. Therefore, I wanted Nihilistic Dysphagia to accompany you to the Gu clan to ensure your safety."
"However, your appearance and Gu Dao's attitude allowed me to understand that I might have been overthinking things. The Gu clan might simply want you to be a guest at the Gu clan. After all, you have not been to the Gu clan even though you are the son-in-law of the Gu clan.
This is indeed our negligence. "
In the end, Hun Tiandi did not forget to blame himself a little.
Hun Xiu was surprised when he heard this. He knew what kind of person his father was.
No one understood him better than him.
For someone as prideful as Hun Tiandi to be able to admit that it was his fault one day, this was simply unimaginable.
Whoosh!
Hun Tiandi disappeared from his position and reappeared in front of Hun Xiu. His palm landed on Hun Xiu's shoulder.
He said, "Xiu'er, don't lose the pride of our Soul Race when you go to the Gu Race."
"Being pressed to the ground by a woman and being ridden like a horse, this kind of thing cannot happen again."
Hun Tiandi looked into Hun Xiu's eyes seriously.
Hun Xiu: "???"
"Understood."
"Father, I understand." Hun Xiu hurriedly promised.
He muttered in his heart, "This is already something that happened when we were young. He still remembers it?
This is already old history. Now, it's not her riding me. It should be me riding her. "
However, these words …
Hun Xiu could only think about it in his heart and did not dare to say it out loud.
Hun Tiandi: "It's good that you understand."
"When you go to the Gu Race this time, Gu Yuan will probably discuss the marriage with you. Remember, the Tou She Ancient God's Jade is your bargaining chip to marry that girl from the Gu Family. Without the Tou She Ancient God's Jade, our Soul Race will not marry her."
"The Tou She Ancient God's Jade is the bottom line. Remember, you can't give in."
Hun Xiu: "I understand."
"Not bad. This is my good son, Hun Tiandi." Hun Tiandi felt gratified when he heard this.
It was really good to have such an outstanding son who was sensible.
…
…
Three days later.
Hun Xiu and Gu Dao embarked on the road to the Gu Race. With Gu Dao leading the way and the two of them being powerful …
In a few days, they would reach the Gu Race.
On the way.
Gu Dao said, "Xiu'er, can I call you that?"
Hun Xiu: "Of course. Elder Gu Dao is an elder and Xun'er is your junior. Naturally, I am your junior too. As long as you are happy, you can naturally call me that."
Gu Dao smiled and was rather gratified.
Obviously …
Gu Dao was very satisfied with Hun Xiu.
Gu Dao: "Xiu'er, do you know that something big happened in the Thunder Race while you were in seclusion?"
"Hmm?"
Hun Xiu was surprised: "What is it?"
He muttered in his heart, "Could it be that the entire continent knows that the Tou She Ancient God's Jade was stolen?"
Other than this, Hun Xiu really could not think of anything else that could have happened to the Thunder Race.
Gu Dao: "Do you still remember Lei Dong?"
Hun Xiu: "The number one genius of the Thunder Race in a few hundred years?
The Lei Ying who was groomed as his successor? "
"Yes."
Gu Dao: "That's him."
Hun Xiu: "What happened to him?"
Gu Dao: "He died."
"Died?"
Hun Xiu was surprised to hear this.
He did not expect Lei Dong to die. However, the death of a young expert like Lei Dong was indeed a big deal to the Thunder Race.
Hun Xiu was interested: "Elder Gu Dao, how did Lei die?"
Gu Dao looked at Hun Xiu meaningfully and said: "He died suddenly!"
“？？？”
"Died suddenly?" Hun Xiu was shocked when he heard the truth.
Hun Xiu said: "Lei Dong was a second change Dou Zun. Moreover, he was the genius of the Thunder Race and the son of the Clan Leader. How could he die suddenly?"
"It is impossible.
There is definitely a conspiracy behind Lei Dong's death. "Hun Xiu rubbed his chin and gave his analysis.
Gu Dao did not speak when he heard this. He looked at Hun Xiu with a smile that was not a smile.
"Huh?"
Hun Xiu also sensed Gu Dao's gaze. He went forward and a thought flashed in his mind. He said weakly: "Lei Dong's death shouldn't be related to my Hun clan, right?"
It was no wonder that Hun Xiu would think in this way.
Gu Dao's smile at this moment and everything that he had done earlier completely explained this problem.
Lei Dong's death was definitely related to the Hun clan.
Gu Dao shook his head and said: "I don't know."
"No one has evidence that Lei Dong's death was caused by your Hun clan. It might not be certain that he died suddenly."
"Lei Ying came to your Hun clan before and returned with injuries. The current Lei clan has become even more low-key."
Gu Dao said faintly.
Hun Xiu listened but did not open his mouth to say anything.
Gu Dao did not say anything else along the way.
Just like that.
Hun Xiu and Gu Dao arrived at the Gu clan.
With Gu Dao leading the way, Hun Xiu easily arrived at the Gu clan. During this period of time, no brainless person came to find trouble.
Since Gu Dao was leading the way, the disciples of the ancient clan understood that he was not an existence that they could afford to offend.
The places that Hun Xiu and Gu Dao passed by would attract many gazes. At the same time, there would be countless discussions.
They naturally recognized Gu Dao. However, they did not know Hun Xiu. It was even their first time seeing him.
Therefore, many people were very curious about Hun Xiu's identity.
…
Gu Dao led Hun Xiu to the small courtyard where Gu Yuan stayed and bade farewell.
Hun Xiu entered the small courtyard alone.
Here.
There was a bamboo forest everywhere. There was a bamboo house and a pavilion beside the bamboo house. There was a black-robed man standing with his hands behind his back in the pavilion. His back was facing Hun Xiu.
The aura on his body was extraordinary.
Hun Xiu quickly walked to the pavilion. He bowed to the back of the man and said, "Father-in-law."
The black-robed man was none other than Gu Yuan.
He was Gu Xun Er's father and Hun Xiu's father-in-law.
Gu Yuan turned around.
He looked at Hun Xiu and carefully sized him up. The more he looked, the more shocked he was and the more satisfied he was.
He was a seven star Dou Sheng at such a young age. His talent was frightening.
It made people wonder if he would become a Dou Di if he was given another two years.
It was fortunate that such a talented person was his son-in-law. Otherwise, Gu Yuan would have wanted to kill him with a slap.
This person's potential was frightening. If he could not capture him, he could only destroy him. Fortunately, he belonged to the former and he had captured him.
Gu Yuan said, "You're here."
"You're here." Hun Xiu said.
Gu Yuan said, "Sit."
"Yes!"
Hun Xiu also sat down hesitantly when Gu Yuan sat on a stool by the side.
Gu Yuan said emotionally, "After not seeing you for a few years, Xiu 'er's talent has gradually been revealed. Even I, his father-in-law, feel ashamed of my inferiority!"
"You're too kind." Hun Xiu said humbly.
Hun Xiu did not understand. What was Gu Yuan planning to do by looking for him?
Gu Yuan said, "Xiu 'er, you must be curious why I am looking for you, right?"
Hun Xiu nodded, "Indeed."
Gu Yuan said, "Xiu 'er, you and Xun Er are about the same age. Is it suitable for you to get married?"
"This …"
Hun Xiu was caught off guard when he heard this!
For a moment, he did not know what to say at all.
Gu Yuan continued, "Regarding the marriage of the two of you, I will go to the Hun clan to discuss it with your father, Hun Tiandi."
"I called you over this time because I want you to go to the Jia Nan Academy with the people from the Gu clan and bring Xun Er back."
"I guess she must want to see her Big Brother Hun Xiu."
Originally, Gu Yuan did not think of asking Hun Xiu to bring Gu Xun Er back to the clan. After all, the Hun clan did not know when the Gu clan left. How could Hun Xiu know?
However …
Just a few days ago, his people contacted Ling Ying and he obtained a 'secret' from Ling Ying.
There was a guy called 'Yun Xiu'. When he was in the Xiao family and in Jia Nan Academy, he would often be together with his precious daughter.
The other party even knew his identity. At the same time, his precious daughter also knew him. She had always affectionately called him 'Big Brother Xiu' er '.
When he received this news, Gu Yuan could not help but be enraged.
He wanted to give Ling Ying a good scolding. This matter was so important. Why did he not report it to him in the past?
Now, what was going on?
Unable to do anything right, but good at spoiling things.
However, after calming down, Gu Yuan knew that 'Yunxiu', who often visited his daughter, was most likely Hun Xiu from the Hun clan.
From the way her daughter addressed her, one could tell a thing or two about her.
As for why Hun Xiu knew about Gu Xun Er's whereabouts?
If there was no problem, it was likely that his precious daughter had once revealed something to Hun Xiu.
He had always thought that his plan was flawless. He did not expect that it would fall into the hands of his precious daughter one day. It was really awkward.
It was likely that his precious daughter had also revealed all of his plans to him.
This made the plan of the Gu clan completely obvious in Hun Xiu's eyes!
Did Hun Tiandi know?
Gu Yuan was not sure.
However, the only thing that he was certain of was that Hun Xiu knew.
This was also the reason why Gu Yuan had come to look for Hun Xiu.
On one hand, he wanted him and the people from the Gu clan to bring Gu Xun Er back from the Jia Nan Academy. It could be considered a surprise for his daughter!
On the other hand.
Gu Dao had told Gu Yuan about Hun Xiu's performance in the Lei clan a year ago. Gu Yuan also wanted to meet Hun Xiu.
He wanted to see if it was really as Gu Dao had said. He wanted to see if Hun Xiu had the strength of a six star Dou Sheng.
Now.
Hun Xiu had arrived.
Gu Yuan could sense that Hun Xiu was not only a six star Dou Sheng, but also a seven star Dou Sheng.
Hun Xiu. Hun Xiu. He was indeed outstanding. Good job.
Gu Yuan had decided on this son-in-law.
It was a pity that the Gu clan's Tou She Ancient God's Jade would be lost. As for the Xiao clan's Tou She Ancient God's Jade?
Gu Yuan was no longer thinking about the Xiao clan's Tou She Ancient God's Jade.
Hun Xiu was aware of the Gu clan's scheme. Given Hun Xiu's intelligence, it was likely that the Xiao clan's Tou She Ancient God's Jade had already fallen into the hands of the Hun clan.
… …
… …
Hun Xiu heard Gu Yuan's words and immediately understood that Gu Yuan was aware of his visit to the Xiao clan and the Jia Nan Academy.
He had originally thought that he had hidden it well.
It was unexpected that Gu Yuan had seen everything.
"I wonder if father-in-law knows that I have taken the Xiao clan's Tou She Ancient God's Jade?" Hun Xiu muttered in his heart.
Hun Xiu laughed bitterly, "I had originally thought that I had hidden it well. It is unexpected that father-in-law has still discovered it!"
"Ha ha …"
Gu Yuan patted Hun Xiu's shoulder and did not say anything. There was also a sentence in his heart, "This is also what I wanted to say."
"I had originally thought that I had hidden it well and that it was flawless. It is unexpected that you and the Hun clan have intercepted me."
Gu Yuan said, "In that case, you have agreed to go to the Jia Nan Academy to fetch Xun Er?"
Hun Xiu smiled and said, "I am very happy to."
"Good."
Gu Yuan said, "You should stay in the Gu clan for the next few days. After a few days, you will go to the Jia Nan Academy with those fellows from the Gu clan!"
"If that girl Xun Er knows that you are going to fetch her, she will definitely be very happy."
"She should be!" Hun Xiu lifted the corner of his mouth and revealed a smile.
… …
A few days later.
Hun Xiu followed Gu Dao and arrived at a square. There were over a dozen human figures on the square.
These human figures were all wearing purple-black robes. Their faces were expressionless. Their eyes were like sharp blade glows as they flickered, causing one to feel a chill all over one's body.
When Gu Dao and Hun Xiu walked over, these ten plus human figures turned their eyes towards Hun Xiu.
Gu Dao and Hun Xiu arrived in front of them.
Gu Dao looked at these Black Submerged Army elites and nodded with satisfaction. He turned his head and inquired, "Xiu, what do you think?"
"Very good."
Hun Xiu praised, "Very good. They should be the Black Submerged Army of the Gu clan, right?"
These fellows were all elite Dou Zuns and were extremely powerful. From the looks of it, they were not Elders. In that case, they could only be from the Gu clan and the Black Submerged Army.
Moreover.
These ten plus people were the elites of the Gu clan's Black Submerged Army. Of course, this was only a portion of them. Given the foundation of the Gu clan, this was not all.
Gu Dao said, "That's right, they are the Black Submerged Army."
"The strongest army of my Gu clan." Gu Dao's face was filled with pride.
The Black Submerged Army was the strongest fighting force of the Gu clan. Every member of the Gu clan was proud to be able to enter the Black Submerged Army.
Those who could enter the Black Submerged Army were all geniuses amongst geniuses.
Gu Dao said, "This time around, they are following you to the Jia Nan Academy to fetch young miss back."
"Aye."
Hun Xiu nodded, "I understand."
Hun Xiu changed the topic and asked, "Therefore, they are now under my command and will listen to my arrangements?"
Gu Dao nodded, "You can say that."
