Chapter 431 The Old Fox and the Little Fox
Not long after Gu Dan left, Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun, who had disappeared for a long time, came over.
"Hey, father-in-law, have you already talked to Senior Dragon Emperor?" Seeing the two men coming, Xiao Se greeted them warmly.
Gu Yuan rolled his eyes at Xiao Se, then turned his gaze to Xun'er, with a gentle smile on his face, and asked, "Xun'er, was it Gu Dan's hometown that came just now?"
Xun'er smiled and said, "Yes, father. You would never have thought that when Uncle Gudan was traveling around the continent, he once accepted a disciple. Later, that disciple passed away and the inheritance was inherited by big brother. So, he can be considered as big brother's master."
"Grandmaster?" Gu Yuan's eyes flashed with surprise. He sighed that the world was so small. At the same time, he turned his gaze to Xiao Se and saw an extra ring in his hand. He said, "You are lucky, little guy. This ring will make even the ancient clan feel excited."
"Same here. Compared to what the Gu clan got from the Xiao clan back then, this is just a drop in the bucket. What's more, this was given to me by my great-grandmaster. It has nothing to do with the Gu clan." Xiao Se curled his lips.
"It seems that you know a lot." Gu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Xun'er, who was standing aside, saw that her father and Xiao Se were on the verge of a fight as soon as they met, so she hurriedly stood in front of them and tried to smooth things over.
"Father, let me introduce you. This is Xiao Xue." Xun'er skipped the previous topic.
Hearing this, Gu Yuan turned his gaze to Xiao Xue, his face slightly startled. He could feel that Xiao Xue had the same blood as Xiao Se, but apart from that, there seemed to be an aura he had never seen before. Although that strange aura was not worth mentioning to him, it was enough to arouse a little interest.
"She has good talent. She has achieved high-level Dou Zun cultivation at a young age. No wonder she was adopted as Brother Zhu Kun's goddaughter." Gu Yuan nodded repeatedly.
"Thank you, Grandpa Gu Yuan, for your compliment." Xiao Xue was very polite and performed a court etiquette for Gu Yuan. This etiquette was exclusive to the nobles of Douluo Continent, and only a few people who were familiar with Xiao Xue knew it. Xiao Xue's seemingly elegant and respectful etiquette was not really respectful to the other party, but a kind of alienation because he was not as strong as the other party and had to do so.
The reason is simple. Gu Yuan is very powerful, but his father doesn't seem to like him.
So far, Gu Yuan is the first person who can make Xiao Xue perform this kind of ceremony.
"Haha, you are such a sensible girl, much better than your father." Gu Yuan nodded slightly, turned his gaze to Xiao Se, and said, "Little guy, I know you may have some resentment towards the Gu clan, but this is not something I can control. Since Xun'er has chosen you, I hope you can treat her well."
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have wasted a favor by bringing Senior Dragon Emperor here today. I believe you must have reached some kind of agreement with him to fight against the Soul Clan. This can be regarded as a gift from me, the son-in-law, to the Ancient Clan. But I want to remind you that the Soul Clan can plant spies in the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, so the Ancient Clan is naturally no exception. Today's incident has reached the ears of Emperor Hun Tian as expected. So I want to ask you for a favor."
"What's the matter?" Gu Yuan's face changed slightly. He found that the young man in front of him seemed to be more scheming than he thought. Fortunately, he had nothing to say about his woman, otherwise he would not be at ease to hand Xun'er to him.
"Send Xue'er and me into the Heavenly Tomb to meet the remaining soul of my ancestor Xiao Xuan." Xiao Se spread his hands and said, "Although there are still eight or nine years before the next opening of the Heavenly Tomb, you are a peak nine-star Dou Sheng, I believe you can do it. By the way, Xun'er can also be sent in together. By the way, improve your cultivation."
"Although I am very curious about the fact that you know this, why should I help you?" Gu Yuan took a deep breath and said to Xiao Se.
"Father." Xun'er gave Gu Yuan a sighing look.

"Xun'er, I can usually rely on you for anything, but this time, I want him to answer it himself." Gu Yuan said seriously.
"Just because you will have me, the Doudi son-in-law in the future." Xiao Se said solemnly.
Gu Yuan shook his head: "I know that you are blessed with a lot of luck. Maybe in a few years, you can really become a Dou Di strongman who is unmatched in the history. But this is not enough."
Hearing this, Xiao Se knew what the other party was worried about, and immediately said, "Regarding the Gu Clan's attempt to take advantage of the Xiao Clan, for Xun'er's sake, as long as the Gu Clan hands over the martial arts and fighting skills they got from the Xiao Clan, the Xiao Clan and the Gu Clan will never invade each other, and I will protect the Gu Clan's safety during my lifetime."
"A gentleman's word is his bond." Gu Yuan stretched out his hand.
"It's hard to catch up with him." Xiao Se stretched out his hand and hit Gu Yuan three times in a row.
Immediately, the two of them burst into laughter at the same time.
As for how real or fake this smile is, no one knows.
"Haha, good son-in-law. When do you plan to enter the Heavenly Tomb?" Gu Yuan patted Xiao Se's shoulder lightly.
"About a week later. I still need to refine a few pills in the next two days." Xiao Se thought for a moment and replied.
Seeing that the two had reached an agreement, Zhu Kun, who was standing by, prepared to leave: "Xiao Se, since you and Brother Gu Yuan have already discussed it, I will return to Ancient Dragon Island first. If you encounter an enemy you cannot handle next time, you can always use dragon scales to call me. Except for entering the Heavenly Tomb, which requires some effort, I will be there at any other place."
Zhu Kun used his soul power to spread these words. Although they were not deafening, they were transmitted to the ears of everyone in the ancient clan accurately. His meaning was to warn the ancient clan and the spies hidden in the ancient clan not to touch Xiao Se. Xiao Se was protected by him, Zhu Kun. To touch Xiao Se would mean becoming an enemy of him, the Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun.
"Thank you, Senior Dragon Emperor, for this time." Xiao Se took out three jade bottles from his storage ring and handed them to Zhu Kun: "This is the elixir I promised Zi Yan last time. I think that girl should still be in seclusion to receive the inheritance of the Taixu Ancient Clan, so I ask Senior Dragon Emperor to pass it on for me."
"Oh? Three nine-color pills of the eighth-grade elixir. You are quite sensible, little guy. I believe that girl will be very happy when she returns." Zhu Kun took a quick look and put it into his ring. At his level, elixirs are no longer useful. Even the ninth-grade golden elixir cannot produce any effect. Not to mention the eighth-grade elixir.
But who can blame Zhu Kun for being a daughter-obsessed person? He can't resist the fact that his daughter Zi Yan likes him.
After bringing Zi Yan back to Ancient Dragon Island, Zhu Kun actually invited several alchemists, and even kidnapped a ninth-grade alchemist. But in the end, after Zi Yan ate the pills they made, she still felt that they were not as delicious as those made by Xiao Se. It was as if Xiao Se had some kind of magic power that had his daughter under his control.
Fortunately, Xiao Se was really good to his daughter, otherwise, he would have suspected, like Gu Yuan, that Xiao Se had ulterior motives.
