Chapter 18 A tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind
While Gu Yuan was observing Xiao Chong.

A man in black robe also walked in front of Xiao Zhan, the head of the Xiao family. At this time, Xiao Zhan was also being congratulated and celebrated by representatives of various forces. It was estimated that his mentality was a little elated at this time.

Other people who he once had to treat with courtesy are now respectful to him because of his son.

All the problems that I used to worry about no longer exist because of my son.

Even my daughter-in-law is in good health and has become young and beautiful.

In such an environment, it is really easy for a person to lose himself.

But at this moment, a powerful aura emanated from the man in black robe, and with his absolutely domineering attitude, he pushed back all the people around Xiao Zhan.

At the same time, he walked in front of Xiao Zhan and said.

"Patriarch Xiao Zhan, I have a piece of advice for you."

"Every tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind!"

“Even the Douhuang cannot claim to be truly invincible in the Jiama Empire, let alone the entire Dongzhou.”

"If you hope that the Xiao family will only condescend to this small Wutan City in the future, you can continue to brag about your son."

"If you don't want to, that's best."

After the words fell, a heavy pressure suddenly appeared from the black-robed man in front of him.

And from the other person, Xiao Zhan actually felt a sense of oppression that was almost as strong as that from his own son.

The person in front of me is actually also a Dou Huang? !

As for the man in black robe, he was naturally Ling Ying who came here with clan leader Gu Yuan.

After hearing Ling Ying's wake-up call, Xiao Zhan's expression suddenly shuddered.

But not only was his son born a Douhuang, he also had an excellent talent for cultivation and was also a prodigy in martial arts and fighting skills!

With such talent, how could he be stopped by some flattery in Wutan City or even the Gama Empire!
His future is to travel across the entire Douqi Continent!

You know, parents are the first teachers of their children.

Isn't it inappropriate for me to hold such a grand birthday party and invite everyone to show off?

Xiao Zhan's heart suddenly tightened when he realized this, and he sighed in his heart that as a patriarch, it seemed that he was still not steady enough!

Of course, Xiao Zhan's worries were purely overthinking. Inside the mind of this child Xiao Chong, there existed a soul that was even more sinister than his own.

"Thank you for the reminder, senior. May I know your name?"

"You don't need to thank me. It's just that I found a baby girl recently. Although this baby girl has a connection with me, I am not in the mood to adopt her."

"Your Xiao family is a small force, so please help me adopt this child."

Having said that, Ling Ying also walked to Gu Yuan's side, exchanged glances with Gu Yuan, and then took out Xun'er, who was still a baby.

It’s just that action... In Xiao Chong’s opinion, it seems a bit ridiculous.

Ling Ying almost held the baby girl with both hands, with her arms stretched far away, as if she was presenting her ancestor, and presented her to Xiao Zhan.

In terms of identity, it is indeed an ancestral level identity.

After all, the father is still watching behind him...

Although on the surface Ling Ying now acted like a mysterious master, Xiao Chong could feel that Ling Ying's legs were trembling.

If you look closely, you will find that Ling Ying did not touch Xun'er at all. The arm holding the baby girl is also surrounded by a layer of Dou Qi film, making Xun'er almost "floating" on his arm. It's just such a subtle movement, and only Xiao Chong can see it at most.

Xiao Zhan was also stunned when he saw the child handed over by the mysterious man in black. He had a vague feeling that this child who was asked to adopt might not be so simple.

But Xiao's mother didn't care so much.

After seeing Xun'er, who was still a baby girl, his eyes suddenly lit up. He reached out and took the girl from the black-robed man's hands, saying happily.

"Okay, okay, I also want a daughter."

"Xiao Ding, Xiao Li, Xiao Chong, and Xiao Yan, I gave birth to four children, all boys."

"Finally now there are only girls!"

"Hehe, your eyes were so bright when you were a child, you will definitely be very beautiful when you grow up."

As Xiao's mother, Gu Xue also smiled and held Xun'er in her arms.

Ling Ying heaved a sigh of relief after sending this little ancestor away, and then continued.

"Since the Xiao family agrees, please treat this child as your own."

"By the way, her name is Xun'er, and her surname... before her clan members come to look for her, she can temporarily use the surname Xiao."

Seeing that his wife was so concerned about Xun'er, Xiao Zhan couldn't refuse.

He immediately clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, senior. As long as she is still in our Xiao family, we will treat her as the daughter of the Xiao family's patriarch."

"Thank you for the advice from this senior. I will give it serious consideration."

"Ah."

Ling Ying also nodded with satisfaction.

Then he turned and left.

Gu Yuan, who was standing next to Xiao Chong just now, also paid a few more glances at Xiao Chong.

He looked at Xun'er, who was now held by Xiao's mother, and his eyes revealed the reluctance of a father.

Then he turned around and left, completely disappearing in the city of Wutan.

As for what Xiao Zhan said to Ling Ying and the others just now, due to the isolation of their own Dou Huang Dou Qi, only Xiao Zhan and Xiao Chong heard it, and no one else heard it.

However, Xiao Chong naturally had no objection to what Ling Ying said. As long as the elders thought that how to implement it was reasonable, it would be fine.

I guess my father will go through the same process of growth in the future.

From the perspective of the Ancient Clan, that was correct. After all, the more the Xiao family concealed their true identity, the less things the Ancient Clan would have to worry about, and the less likely it would be that they would be found by the Soul Palace people in advance.

Anyway, for Xiao Chong, who has an extraordinary understanding, it doesn’t matter.

At most, after today's incident, Xiao Chong will have a sister who has no blood relationship with him, and that is Xun'er.

The birthday party also ended hastily due to Ling Ying's sudden intervention, and some of the original second half segments were ended hastily.

Under Xiao Zhan's arrangement, the elders of the Xiao family were all full of apologies. The people at the scene said a few apologies, and then the power of the entire family began to gather rapidly.

And only one day later, a rumor spread within the Xiao family.

Xiao Chong, the legendary genius of the Xiao family, is suffering from a terminal illness!
