Chapter 12: Guessing
Xiao Family, Xiao Xun'er's courtyard.
At this moment, beside the desk in the house, Xiao Xun'er was writing on a piece of white plain paper:
"Be kind to me and walk hand in hand with me."
The handwriting was beautiful and neat, and it could be seen that the owner was very careful when writing it.
Putting down the pen, staring at the eight words on the plain paper, Xiao Xun'er showed a touching smile at the corner of her mouth, and tenderness emerged in her eyes.
Ling Ying, who was standing aside, looked at his young lady, hesitant to speak.
"Old Ling, if you have something to say, just say it!"
Xiao Xun'er looked at the plain paper without looking up, but seemed to know Ling Ying's expression.
Hearing this, Ling Ying bowed and said:
"Young lady, there is news from the clan."
After a pause, Ling Ying looked up at his young lady, and then continued:
"Lei Ying, the chief of the Thunder Clan, went to the ancient world in person to propose marriage to our clan for his son Lei Dong!"
"Lei Dong? It is said that he has the blood of the Thunder Clan's divine grade?"
Xiao Xun'er raised her head, her tone was cold, without the innocence and tenderness when she was with Xiao Bai.
"Yes!"
"Who is the target of the marriage proposal? Me?"
"Yes!"
Xiao Xun'er understood. If it wasn't about her, the clan wouldn't have sent her any news about the marriage.
But why did this message come? Didn't the clan directly refuse?
Frowning and thinking for a moment, she laughed mockingly.
"Heh~, that's a good plan. Let me guess, is Lei Ying saying that the divine blood of the two clans can be combined to see if a descendant with a further bloodline can be born in the future, and see if he can break through the realm that no one has reached in ten thousand years?"
Although Xiao Xun'er used the question, the affirmative meaning in her words was revealed.
"Miss, you have a keen eye. The chief of the tjunder Clan did say this, and many elders in the clan are very excited and intend to promote this matter. They are ready to determine the status first, and hold the wedding after the young lady becomes a saint in the future."
Ling Ying was not surprised by the intelligence of her young lady. Over the years, the clan has been training the young lady as the candidate for the next clan leader. Since the young lady became sensible, in addition to practicing and looking for Xiao Bai, she has been reading books and studying.
If it weren't for the great temptation of Lei Ying's proposal, the Ancient Clan would never have considered letting the young lady marry out.
Among the remaining eight ancient clans, only the bloodline of the Ancient Clan is the most intact, but it is also in danger. What each family hopes most is that a new Dou Di will appear to continue the bloodline.
If the Lei Clan's proposal succeeds, both the Ancient and the Lei Clan will benefit. The new Dou Di will have the bloodline of the two families, which will allow the two families to prosper for tens of thousands of years.
"What did my father say?" Thinking of Gu Yuan, a hint of warmth flashed in Xiao Xun'er's cold eyes.
"The clan leader means that everything depends on the young lady's wishes. If the young lady is willing, he supports it. If the young lady is not willing, he will refuse it."
"In addition, the clan leader asked me to tell the young lady that she doesn't need to consider the future of the clan against her will. As long as the young lady is happy, it's fine! And he also—"
Ling Ying paused here, not knowing how to start.
"Whatever you say, just say it as it is, don't worry!" Xiao Xun'er said lightly.
"I have been at the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng for so many years, and I have long suspected how I reached that level. Lei Ying, that old guy, definitely has bad intentions. What's the point of getting closer to the bloodline? This old guy clearly wants to trick my precious daughter into marrying his stupid son. What a wishful thinking!"
Xiao Xun'er smiled after hearing this, and a warm current flowed through her heart.
"Old Ling, send a message back to the clan and tell them that I am still young and don't want to consider these things for the time being. I will make a decision after I become a saint."
"Yes, Miss!"
"What's the matter?" Xiao Xun'er asked when she saw Ling Ying did not leave and was still standing there.
"Miss, please forgive me for being so nosy, I'm afraid that Xiao Bai... I'm afraid he is not worthy of you!" Ling Ying bowed and said hesitantly.
In the past, Xiao Bai had always been polite and had no intimate behavior with the young lady. He could turn a blind eye, but today that boy crossed the line a bit.
Xiao Xun'er frowned when she heard this. She was in a good mood today and ignored some things. She had long been prepared to face the pressure from the clan for what happened between her and Xiao Bai, but she didn't expect that this day would come so soon. This was just Ling Ying. If those people in the clan knew about it, who knows how they would react?
They might not be able to embarrass her, but they could embarrass Xiao Bai, which she would not allow.
"Ling Ying, how many years have you been with me?" Xiao Xun'er was silent for a moment, and then said in a faint voice.
"My lady, Ling Ying was chosen by the clan leader when you were three years old, and came to the Xiao family when you were four years old. It has been ten years now!"
Ling Ying wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and replied timidly.
The lady's tone was a little wrong. Generally, when a superior asks a subordinate such a question, it means that the subordinate is required to make sacrifices and contributions. My lady will not replace or kill him for her lover, right?
"Then what do you think of Brother Xiao Bai?" Xiao Xun'er continued to ask with a blank expression.
"Xiao Bai is a dragon among men, with unparalleled talent and amazing talent. He will become an emperor in the future!" Ling Ying gritted his teeth and said with a solemn face, as if the person who said that Xiao Bai was not worthy of his lady just now was not him.
Xiao Xun'er ignored Ling Ying's inconsistency and sneered.
"Hehe~, I know that once you and other people in the clan know about this, you will definitely look down on him and think that he is not as good as Gu Qingyang and the others. But even if he is only a ninth-level Dou Zhe in his life, he is still someone that I, Gu Xun'er, like. I will not let anyone bully him!"
Xiao Xun'er seemed to remember that not long after she came to the Xiao family, she was alone and her body was deeply burned by the Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame. It was the little boy in white who accompanied her silently and made her happy to get through that difficult period.
"What's more, my brother Xiao Bai is no worse than anyone else!" Thinking of the white-clothed figure, Xiao Xun'er's eyes were gentle, with a hint of pride on her face, and she murmured in her heart.
She has seen Xiao Bai's performance over the years, especially today, which gave her a big surprise.
Xiao Bai has not made a breakthrough in the past five years, but he does not look anxious at all. He is very calm, as if he deliberately wants to stay in this realm. This makes the smart her guess that she did not intervene later, but only gave him some resources for breakthrough, but she still couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Who would have thought that he would finally break through today, which also made Xiao Xun'er feel relieved, as long as there were no accidents.
And the story Xiao Bai told her today, some of the plots she didn't think were just stories.
For example, the Supreme.
She had seen it in some incomplete notes she had taken from the clan over the years, and some of them vaguely mentioned the Supreme. She didn't know what this Supreme referred to before.
But after listening to Xiao Bai's story today, she had a bold guess.
Could it be that there is a so-called upper realm above the Dou Qi Continent? The Supreme is just a realm in the upper realm?
According to Xiao Bai's brother, Dou Di is equal to the Supreme, so does it mean that one has to reach the Dou Di realm before going to the so-called upper realm?
It's a pity that those notes are too incomplete to get a glimpse of the whole picture.
So today when Xiao Bai talked about the Supreme, she was so interested and couldn't wait to interrupt Xiao Bai.
