In Xiao Yanzi's future words, I wasn't brazen enough in my scumbaggery.
The women: ?
"Achoo~"
Xiao Yan, who had just arrived at Xiao Family Manor and was about to buy medicinal ingredients, sneezed.
"It must be Nalan Yanran cursing me."
Yao Chen: "..."
"Achoo!"
In a secret chamber in the Yan Realm, Yan Xiao, who was diligently Cultivating and preparing to surpass his Elder sister Huo Zhi, also sneezed.
"Huo Zhi must be cursing me again. Just you wait, when I'm stronger than you, I'll marry you off."
"I won't let you be an old spinster for a thousand years like Aunt Huoling."
Huoling and Huo Zhi, who came to deliver supper: "..."
Chu Xiao was unaware of all this and continued his passionate "creation."
After testing Xiao Yanzi, I went to test Xun Er.
She didn't hide it and told me her surname was Gu, not Xiao.
"Xiao?"
In the Sect Master's sleeping quarters on the floating mountain of Yun Lan Sect, Yun Yun, who was sitting in front of a stone bench in the backyard admiring the starry sky, narrowed her eyes.
She was not unfamiliar with this surname. Ten years ago, the Clan Chief's son, Xiao Yan, from one of the Four Dou King Families of the Gama Empire, had a marriage engagement with her Disciple Nalan Yanran.
But now Nalan Yanran had joined Yun Lan Sect and would likely become the Young Sect Master. If she passed the trial of the Gate of Life and Death, she could even succeed her as Sect Master. She definitely couldn't marry again, let alone marry a good-for-nothing; she would only accept a son-in-law who joined their Family.
Could this Xiao be that Xiao?
"That's right!" Yun Yun suddenly reacted.
About five years ago, the Sect sent a Dou Ling Elder to the Xiao Family to recruit a Disciple. The other party was a Genius who Broke Through to Dou Master at thirteen, and his name was Chu Xiao, but he was unwilling to leave his Family and refused Yun Lan Sect.
Two years later, it was rumored that Xiao Family's third son, Xiao Yan, Broke Through to Dou Master at eleven. Yun Lan Sect again prepared to send someone to recruit a Disciple, but before they could act, they encountered the Chuyun Empire launching a war.
This war lasted two years. When she began to arrange for someone to recruit a Disciple, she learned that the other party had already become a good-for-nothing.
"Xiao, cousin, Xiao Yanzi, could it be Xiao Yan?"
"Could it be such a coincidence?"
Yun Yun felt a bad premonition.
If the information in the notebook was not false, Chu Xiao would become a Saint-Rank Heavenly Sovereign in the future, while those who had disappeared from the Dou Qi Continent and become Dou Emperors were only comparable to a Supreme.
At that time, the Xiao Family would definitely rise. Xiao Yan, even if not incredibly powerful, becoming a Supreme wouldn't be an issue, right?
For Yun Lan Sect, even ordinary Dou Zong powerhouses had to expend the Sect's foundation to resist them.
For Yanran to annul the engagement, wouldn't that be a bad thing!?
Thinking of this, Yun Yun read the notebook even more carefully.
Most people wouldn't feel anything when they heard Gu.
Xun Er also didn't know that I had already seen through her background.
This Gu is the Gu of the Gu Clan!
"Chu Xiao Gege, Xun Er knows~" Xun Er lay in bed, her smile sweet.
Sure enough, Chu Xiao Gege asking her surname was to confirm the Rebirth.
But he didn't know that she also confirmed that the notebook was written by him.
The Gu Clan is an Imperial Clan, a Family that has produced a Dou Emperor.
"What!?"
"A descendant of an Imperial Clan!"
At this moment, besides Xun Er, all the women holding the notebook lost their composure.
What Chu Xiao said about the "Major Thousand Worlds," "Supreme to Saint-Rank Heavenly Sovereign," "Peerless Divine Ability," and "heavenly evil god" were too far away from them.
Of course, Dou Emperors were also very far away from them; they had never even thought about it before.
But now, Xiao, no, Gu Xun'er, this descendant of an Imperial Clan, appeared openly and was known to them.
If they came into contact with this woman, wouldn't it be equivalent to coming into contact with an Imperial Clan?
"Is this why she is the Empress, and I can only have children and be responsible?" A sharp look appeared in Medusa's purple eyes.
"Don't panic." A woman warned herself in her heart.
No one stays good forever; no flower stays red forever.
According to Chu Xiao, there were many Dou Emperors on the Dou Qi Continent in the past.
But now, Dou Emperors had become a legend, and even stories of Dou Saints were rarely heard.
What could the Origin of an Imperial Clan represent?
Perhaps it had already declined?
"The Gu Clan, there's actually a woman from the Gu Clan by his side!" Feng Qing'er's expression became solemn.
If that was the case, she would have to slow down her investigation into Chu Xiao, or at least change her attitude.
As a Core Disciple of the Tian Yao Phoenix Clan, she naturally knew of the existence of the Seven Great Imperial Clans.
Since the Xiao Clan was annihilated by the Soul Clan, the Gu Clan was the strongest Clan on the surface.
The Clan Chief, Gu Yuan, was a Nine-Star Late Stage Dou Saint powerhouse.
The Tian Yao Phoenix Clan was nothing in front of the Gu Clan.
"But there's no need to be afraid. A woman who wasn't kept in the Ancient Realm to Cultivate probably has ordinary talent and status."
"She definitely can't compare to my standing within the Clan. Even if I truly offend her, it won't lead the Gu Clan to do anything to my Tian Yao Phoenix Clan."
"Furthermore, this Dou Qi Continent isn't ruled by the Gu Clan."
Feng Qing'er comforted herself in her heart.
But the next moment, her expression instantly froze.
It is common knowledge that a Nine-Star Dou Saint can cause a tide of Heaven and Earth energy with their Dou Qi, and their Peak Bloodline begins to mutate. When a Dou Emperor gains the ability to change their own Bloodline, it alters their own and their relatives' Bloodline, greatly increasing their cultivation and Cultivation Aptitude, revitalizing the entire Family for tens of thousands of years with their own power. Those with rich Bloodline have no Bottleneck before reaching Half-Saint.
Xun Er: Chu Xiao Gege is right.
Feng Qing'er: He really might be a Rebirth.
The other women: ?
Where did "common knowledge" come from?
This is clearly an obscure fact!
They were all hearing it for the first time.
The Dou Qi Continent once had many Imperial Clans, but the ancient Major Thousand Worlds war shattered the plane, losing its Origin Qi. Since then, no Dou Saint has been able to Break Through to the Dou Emperor level, and without new Dou Emperors being born, the Imperial Clans' Bloodline will eventually dry up.
"Ancient War, Origin Qi!" Xun Er and Feng Qing'er noted this term in their hearts.
As time passed and years changed, until a thousand years ago, only eight Imperial Clans remained on the continent. The predecessor of the Xiao Family, the Xiao Clan, was one of them. At that time, the Clan Chief, Ancestor Xiao Xuan, was still a Half-Emperor powerhouse, relying on his strength to simultaneously control three types of strange flames. The Xiao Family was the strongest among the Imperial Clans in name and reality, but because of those events, the main branch is now merely the Xiao Family, barely surviving in a remote area of the Northwest Continent, without even a Dou King.
The women: !!!
The Xiao Family was once an Imperial Clan!
"The Xiao Clan that was annihilated by the Soul Clan!" Feng Qing'er's eyes widened.
"Chu Xiao Gege really knows." Xun Er changed her lying posture.
There are seven existing Imperial Clans on the continent. The strongest on the surface is the Gu Clan. The Clan Chief, Gu Yuan, has the strength of a Nine-Star Late Stage Dou Saint. Xun Er is his only daughter.
The women: ???
How terrifying!
But, some didn't understand.
The Gu Clan Chief, a Nine-Star Late Stage old monster, only now has his only daughter.
Then, this daughter isn't even cultivated in the Gu Clan but is placed in the already declining Imperial Clan, the Xiao Family. What kind of operation is this?
"The Gu Clan Chief's daughter."
Feng Qing'er shivered.
Good news: Knowing that the Gama Empire is in the Northwest Continent, finding people will be easy.
Bad news: The other party has the only daughter of a Nine-Star Dou Saint by his side, which is equivalent to having a Nine-Star Dou Saint as a backer, someone not to be provoked.
