Chapter 144 Xun Er's Strength
After chatting with a few people, Xiao Ling always had a gentle smile on his face and his words were full of friendliness.
First, he discussed some pharmacological experiences with Xiao Yixiang, then he expressed his appreciation for Qinglin's achievements in taking care of flowers and plants, and also exchanged some recent insights on cultivation with Han Yue.
As the atmosphere became more harmonious, Xiao Ling turned his gaze to Xiao Xun'er, with a subtle hint of deep meaning flashing in his eyes. Then he coughed lightly and said with a smile, "Xun'er and I have some important things to deal with, so I'll excuse myself for a while."
Although everyone was a little confused, they all nodded to show their understanding. Xiao Ling then took Xiao Xun'er to a room.
After entering the secret room, Xiao Xun'er couldn't wait to ask Xiao Ling: "Brother Xiao Ling, can I meet Senior Yao Chen now?"
Xiao Ling nodded slightly and said, "Just be patient, Xun'er."
Xiao Ling took out the Bone Inflammation Ring from his arms, a ray of light flashed, and Yao Chen's figure slowly emerged.
When Xiao Xun'er saw Yao Chen appear, she was curious, but she quickly regained her composure and bowed slightly, saying, "Senior Yao Chen, I have heard of your great name for a long time."
Yao Chen looked Xiao Xun'er up and down, with a hint of admiration in his eyes: "Little girl, you have an extraordinary demeanor."
Xiao Xun'er smiled softly and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Senior. It is my honor to meet you today."
Yao Chen looked calm and said slowly, "Little girl, you came to see me today. In my opinion, I can probably guess why. It must be related to this kid Xiao Ling."
Xiao Xun'er nodded slightly and replied, "Indeed, Xun'er does have some heartfelt words that she wants to discuss with you, Senior."
Seeing this, Xiao Ling on the side knew that he should leave, so he nodded slightly to the two of them, thinking to himself: "Xun'er is communicating with Yao Lao, I'd better not disturb her." Then he said: "Yao Lao, Xun'er, you guys chat slowly, I'll go out first." After saying that, he turned and left.
Xiao Xun'er tilted her head slightly, looked at Xiao Ling tenderly and said, "Brother Xiao Ling, it won't take Xun'er long."
Seeing that Xiao Ling's figure had completely disappeared, Xiao Xun'er withdrew her gaze and instead fixed her eyes firmly on the illusory soul body floating in the air.
When he saw Xiao Xun'er turning her gaze towards him, Yao Chen immediately put away the relaxed look on his face and became extremely serious.
Yao Chen knew very well that if he really made the girl in front of him unhappy, he would definitely not end up well.
Even if he recovered to his peak strength as he did in his lifetime, he would be nothing in front of those ancient races that had stood on the continent for thousands of years.
Xiao Xun'er looked at Yao Chen and said solemnly, "Senior Yao Chen, Brother Xiao Ling has a kind heart and values friendship. I hope that when you are teaching him how to practice, you will not have any ulterior motives.
As soon as she finished speaking, a ball of golden flame suddenly rose in Xiao Xun'er's hand. The flame burned fiercely, as if it would burn the surrounding space and distort it.
The golden light was dazzling, but also carried a terrifyingly high temperature. The air near it was instantly scorched hot, and even made a crackling sound.
The terrifying power spread out from the flames, swallowing up the light wherever it went, making people dare not look directly at it, as if their souls would be burned by the terrifying high temperature if they looked at it for just one more second. Although they were both Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flames, the flames released by Xiao Xun'er were far more terrifying than Xiao Ling's Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame.
The aura from Xiao Xun'er began to be released slowly. At first it was very weak, like a gentle breeze, almost imperceptible.
But as time went by, this aura gradually grew stronger, like a gurgling stream converging into a turbulent river, becoming more and more majestic.
At the same time, Xiao Xun'er's body floated up in an extremely slow and graceful posture without the help of the fighting spirit wings, as if being gently lifted up by a mysterious and gentle force.
There seemed to be an invisible force supporting her body. That force was mysterious and powerful, making Xiao Xun'er exude an otherworldly temperament.
With her long black hair gently fluttering and her clothes flowing in the wind, she looked like a fairy from the heavens descending to earth. One could not help but stare at her in awe.
Yao Chen was slightly stunned, then said seriously: "Little girl, I can probably guess your identity. After so many years in the mainland, I can still tell who can be provoked and who cannot be provoked."
"The ancient clan's inherited strange fire, the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, ranked fourth on the Strange Fire List, I can still recognize it at a glance. As expected of the next clan leader of the ancient clan, he can actually rely on his Dou Wang cultivation to activate the secret method and reach the strength of a Dou Zong."
Suddenly, a golden flame flashed in Xiao Xun'er's eyes, and at that moment, her eyes became extremely sharp.
At this time, Xiao Xun'er's tone was no longer as gentle and soft as before when she treated Xiao Ling, but was full of majesty and coldness.
"Since the old gentleman can guess my identity, he must also understand the seriousness of the matter. If Brother Xiao Ling really makes a mistake, the consequences will not be something you can bear. The old gentleman is also a member of the Eight Clans, so he must be more aware of the power of the Ancient Clans."
Since Yao Chen had also made a name for himself in Zhongzhou, the Ancient Clan naturally collected some information about Yao Chen and knew that he came from the Yao Clan, one of the eight ancient clans.
It’s just that because Yao Chen left the Yao clan too early, those old events cannot be discovered, and the other six clans are also not clear about the real reason why Yao Chen left the Yao clan.
Yao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze revealing the vicissitudes and depth of a person who has experienced a lot of worldly things. Facing Xiao Xun'er's warning, there was no fear on his face. Instead, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing an imperceptible confidence and composure.
"Little girl, I understand your worries, but the world can bear witness to my feelings for Xiao Ling." He stroked his beard, a look of determination flashing in his eyes: "I have seen countless people in my life. Xiao Ling is a child with outstanding talent. I will definitely teach him everything I know and help him embark on the road to the top."
Xiao Xun'er stared at Yao Chen closely, as if trying to determine whether his words were true or false.
Yao Chen met Xiao Xun'er's gaze calmly and continued, "I am now living with Xiao Ling. We rely on each other and help each other. How could I have the intention to harm him?"
"Besides, Xiao Ling has great trust in me, and I will not let her down. I know very well that the power behind the girl cannot be underestimated, so I will be careful with my words and actions."
Xiao Xun'er was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "That's good. If I find out that Senior has done anything that is detrimental to Brother Xiao Ling, I will definitely not let it go."
