Xiao Clan.
Due to the release of Dou Qi from Xiao Zhan and Ge Ye, the faces of the weaker young men and women in the hall instantly paled, and they felt a little stuffy in their chests.
Xiao Xun'er, sitting in the corner, slowly raised her head at this moment.
The person who appeared in her eyes wasn't Ge Ye and Xiao Zhan, who were releasing their Dou Qi, but...
Qi Yan'er!
This little girl had been staring at her, which made her feel very strange.
She didn't know her, so why was she looking at her like that!
Especially that look, it felt like a hunter was staring at its prey.
If it were anyone else...
Xiao Xun'er had already taken action, instructing her bodyguards to handle the situation.
However, Qi Yan'er was just a seven-year-old girl…
Xiao Xun'er, sensing something different about this girl, turned her gaze towards Qi Yan'er.
At that moment, Xiao Xun'er's eyes suddenly widened.
Because she realized that this little girl wasn't affected at all by the pressure of the Dou Qi!
Not only that.
She was also resting her chin on one hand, while the other hand was putting small fruits into her mouth, watching the excitement with great relish!
"This girl is indeed not simple!"
Xiao Xun'er murmured softly.
"What did you say, Xun'er?"
Xiao Yan, who was beside her, asked curiously.
"..."
However, he received no response from Xiao Xun'er.
This made Xiao Yan feel incredibly frustrated.
Three years! A full three years, and no one knew how painful his life had become.
His former friends had all turned their backs on him after his downfall.
Xiao Mei, who used to call him "Big Brother Xiao Yan" every time she saw him, didn't even speak to him anymore.
In the entire family, only his father and two older brothers, along with Xiao Xun'er, still looked at him properly! But now…
Even Xun'er ignored him! Pain! It hurt so much! The auras of two great Dou Practitioners filled the hall, making everyone feel suffocated.
Just as Xiao Zhan's breathing became more rapid, about to make a move,
The three Elders quickly stood up and sternly shouted: "Xiao Zhan! What are you doing? Stop it at once! Don't forget you are the Clan Head of the Xiao Clan!"
Hearing this, Xiao Zhan's body trembled violently.
The Dou Qi on his body also slowly converged, finally disappearing completely.
But his face was terrifyingly gloomy! After plopping back down in his chair, Xiao Zhan stared at the silent Nalan Yanran, his voice hoarse:
"What a decisive niece you are, Nalan Yanran. Nalan Su, you must be the envy of many to have such a daughter!"
Her delicate body trembled slightly, and Nalan Yanran stammered, "Uncle Xiao..."
"Little mustache, you also have a good son, which makes many people envious!"
A childish voice entered Xiao Zhan's ears.
His expression instantly changed, and his gaze immediately shifted to the source of the voice.
In sight.
It was Qi Yan'er, blinking her adorable big eyes!
"Pfft~ Little mustache~"
Nalan Yanran couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh when she heard Qi Yan'er's address for Xiao Zhan.
"..."
Xiao Zhan's gaze swept across the hall. Seeing the three Elders and the others who were trying hard to suppress their laughter, his face turned cold, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Little mustache!
This was the first time in so many years that someone had dared to call him that.
Alright~ After I resolve this matter, I'll shave off my mustache immediately!
Xiao Zhan's gaze landed on Qi Yan'er. He asked curiously:
"And who is this…?"
Nalan Yanran quickly introduced:
"She is…"
"My name is Qi Yan'er."
Before Nalan Yanran could finish, Qi Yan'er patted her chest and introduced herself: "I'm Sister Yanran's daughter!"
"Crack!"
As soon as those words were spoken, the sound of jaws dropping echoed through the hall.
The three Elders of the Xiao Clan gaped, utterly shocked.
What did she say?
That she was Nalan Yanran's...daughter?
Ge Ye: (⊙o⊙)…
Nalan Yanran: (⊙o⊙)??
Even Ge Ye and Nalan Yanran, who had come together, were completely baffled.
What a ridiculous self-introduction!
"What's wrong with you all? Are you stunned?"
Qi Yan'er tilted her little head, looking at the motionless crowd with a smile.
Xiao Zhan raised a hand to lift his chin, swallowing hard.
"Little girl, are you really her daughter?"
"Of course, it's absolutely true!"
Qi Yan'er's small face didn't flush, and she nodded in agreement.
"Yan'er, you..."
Nalan Yanran, standing beside her, wanted to say something, but saw Qi Yan'er wink at her.
This made her understand.
Yan'er was helping her!
But, was helping like this... really okay?
Ge Ye stood in place, his old face filled with苦恼.
He felt his brain couldn't think straight anymore, oh well!
Since things had come to this, let them do as they wished. After all, they had the Sect Leader to back them up.
Sect Leader Yun:
Thank you!
"Good! Good! Good!"
Xiao Zhan slammed his hand on the table, exclaiming "good" three times in a row.
It was clear how furious he was at this moment.
"Uncle Xiao..."
Nalan Yanran wanted to say something, but Xiao Zhan immediately waved her off: "Heh, just call me Clan Head Xiao. I, Xiao Zhan, can't accept the title of 'uncle'!"
"You are the future Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect, a future prominent figure on the Dou Qi continent. My Yan'er is just an ordinary talent, certainly not worthy of you, a daughter of heaven."
"You should go find that person with the surname Qi!"
Hearing this, Nalan Yanran was helpless.
"Can't you just let me say something? I haven't even said a word!"
"Make me find someone named Qi..."
"I don't even know what Yan'er's father is called!"
"Thank you for your understanding, Clan Head Xiao."
Seeing Xiao Zhan's softened stance, Ge Ye immediately smiled apologetically.
"Clan Head Xiao, the Sect Leader knows this request is a bit rude today, so she has specifically asked me to bring a gift as an apology!"
Saying this, Ge Ye reached out and wiped his finger across the Storage Ring.
At this moment, a jade box, entirely green, appeared out of thin air in his palm.
As Ge Ye opened the jade box, a strange fragrance immediately filled the entire hall.
Those who smelled it felt their spirits lift, and even the discomfort from the earlier Dou Qi pressure vanished.
The three Elders perked up instantly.
Their bodies shook as they leaned in for a look: "This... this is a Qi Gathering Pill?"
"That's right."
Ge Ye said with some pride: "I believe everyone here is aware of the Qi Gathering Pill's effects, right?"
"It can guarantee that a person with ninth-stage Dou Qi will form a Dou Qi Cyclone and become a Dou Practitioner!"
"Furthermore, this pill was personally refined by our sect's honorary Elder, Gu He. I presume you've all heard of his name?"
"Hiss~"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
Gu He!
"This pill was actually made by Dan King Gu He!"
The three Elders' eyes were filled with excitement, as they exclaimed in astonishment.
Who in the Jia Ma Empire hadn't heard of Dan King Gu He? His status wasn't just that of one of the top ten strongest individuals in the Jia Ma Empire, but also the number one Alchemist! The pills refined by such a figure were not just valuable for their own sake, but because they were refined by the Dan King, their value was many times higher!
Just as everyone was stunned that this Qi Gathering Pill was refined by Gu He, a very "harsh" childish voice suddenly rang out.
"Qi Gathering Pill?"
"Dan King Gu He? Is he very strong?"
