Chapter 386: A Powerful Old Friend

The Heavenly Snake Master gently squatted down his old body and asked gently: "Child, my teacher also has the same eyes as you, do you want to join our Heavenly Snake Mansion?"

Qing Lin grabbed Xiao Zhen's trouser leg and looked at his godfather with pitiful eyes.

Xiao Zhen sighed helplessly and explained: "Senior, Qinglin is still too young and a little timid by nature. Please give her some more time!"

"Hehe, it's because I, an old man, am too anxious. In that case, I wonder if I can stay here for a while!" Heavenly Snake Venerable looked at Xiao Lin.

How could Xiao Lin refuse this request? Unless he was an idiot, he wouldn't dare to say "no"!

"Since senior wants to live here, my Xiao family will naturally welcome you. Apart from anything else, we have quite a lot of rooms. Wait a minute, I will personally choose a satisfactory one for senior." Xiao Lin wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile.

The Heavenly Snake Venerable nodded and said, "In that case, I'll leave it to Patriarch Xiao. I won't stay here for nothing. This little thing will be considered a gift!"

A crystal wrapped in fighting spirit flew into Xiao Lin's hands. Everyone took a closer look and realized that it should be a magic core of a demon beast. And judging from the energy emanating from it, the owner of this thing should have reached the seventh level before his death.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh at Dou Zun's magnanimity, and they also knew that Tianshe Zun would definitely not leave the Xiao family before achieving his goal.

After returning to his courtyard, Xiao Zhen took out a black ring from his arms and asked with his soul power:

"Master Yao, what do you think about what happened today?"

After a long silence, Yao Chen said with emotion: "It seems that the attraction of the Green Snake's Three Flower Pupils to the Heavenly Snake Mansion is even greater than I expected!"

Xiao Zhen nodded and said, "I guessed that the Heavenly Snake Palace would not give up Qing Lin, but I didn't expect that only a month later, the Heavenly Snake Venerable would come to visit in person!"

Yao Chen recalled: "Back then, I was still a well-known alchemist, and Heavenly Snake Venerable was already a Dou Zun powerful warrior famous throughout the continent. We met a few times later, so we could barely be considered old friends.

But now that we meet again, although I dare not use my soul power to investigate him, from his aura, one thing is certain, this old guy doesn't have much time left!"

"Then what should I do now? Should I hand Qinglin over to him?" Xiao Zhen asked.

Yao Chen chuckled: "You kid must be scared. You were hesitant before, but now you want to offer your goddaughter to me with both hands!"

Xiao Zhen waved his hands helplessly and sighed, "He is a Dou Zun strongman, and now he has come to my house in person, which is enough to show his sincerity. If I refuse again, I am afraid that I will suffer the disaster of extermination of my entire family!"

Xiao Zhen would never think that the gentle old man he saw today was like the old man at the village gate, who would only greet people with a smile.

As a veteran Dou Zun, Heavenly Snake Zun must have had a lot of lives on his hands. Over a thousand years, the corpses of his enemies could have piled up into several mountains!

"Anyway, it's up to you to decide. The goddaughter belongs to you, not to an old man like me!" After saying this, Yao Chen didn't say anything else.

That evening, Xiao Zhen also held a small meeting in his own yard, and even invited Qing Lin's grandmother. The main purpose was to discuss whether there would be any difficulties in visiting the little girl after she joined the Tianshe Mansion.

As for refusing, I'm sorry, there is no such option. If that Dou Zun were to make trouble now, few people in this family would be able to escape.

On the second day, some families in the imperial capital had received the news that a distinguished guest had come to the Xiao family. His identity was currently unknown, but his cultivation was at least at the Dou Zong level.

However, at this tense moment, it seemed that the Xiao family had another distinguished guest.

"Reporting to the head of the family, there are three people outside the door. They look very impressive and say they are old acquaintances of the family!"

Xiao Lin frowned, he was quite surprised that it was an old acquaintance. However, it was really a bad time to visit him.

After meeting these so-called old friends, Xiao Lin discovered that the middle-aged man who took the lead had an aura as deep as the sea. Although his specific cultivation level could not be seen, it was definitely above Dou Zong!

What’s going on? Is there another Dou Zun coming? Could they have agreed to come as a group?

Although Xiao Lin complained a few words in his heart, he still said respectfully: "I wonder what is the relationship between you and my Xiao family?"

Gu Yuan gently waved his paper fan, and his conversation and laughter were filled with noble elegance.

"Master Xiao, do you really not know what happened back then?"

What happened back then? How would I know what it was if you don't tell me?

Xiao Lin racked his brains but couldn't figure out what it was, so he could only ask, "Sir, please don't embarrass me. Please explain it to me."

Gu Yuan chuckled and said, "We are from Zhongzhou. Our purpose is just to let my daughter live in the Xiao family for a few years!"

As he spoke, Gu Yuan also pulled over a cute girl who looked well-behaved and smart with big watery eyes.

Xiao Lin asked, "I still don't know what to call you, sir?"

Gu Yuan shook his head and said, "These are not important. You just need to know that from today on, my daughter Xun'er will change her name to Xiao. When she grows up, I will send someone to pick her up!"

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to explain his identity, Xiao Lin did not dare to ask further. Anyway, he only knew that his family had fallen into decline, and they could not afford to pay these mysterious old friends from Zhongzhou.

Outside the door, Xiao Zhen and Heavenly Snake Reverend were talking and laughing, and it was obvious that the two had already agreed on something.

However, the moment he walked into the hall, Lord Sky Snake keenly felt the powerful aura emanating from it!

This... this aura is so powerful, just like a scorching summer day in the sky, emitting danger all the time.

When he met Gu Yuan's eyes head-on, a few drops of cold sweat appeared on the forehead of Heavenly Snake Venerable. Although he had never seen one of the top powers on the continent, with his rich experience, he could absolutely guarantee that the other party must be a Fighting Saint, and much stronger than the one who invaded the Heavenly Snake Mansion.

"Oh! It turns out that the Xiao family has a distinguished guest. Are you interested in meeting him?" Gu Yuan said with a gentle smile.

Just as Venerable Heavenly Snake was about to pay his respects to the Fighting Saint, a warning came to his mind.

"Don't talk nonsense about certain things. It won't do any harm to your Heavenly Snake Mansion!"

Before coming here, Gu Yuan had already received the news that the Heavenly Snake Venerable was coming to visit him. As for the purpose, he already knew it. It was nothing more than a Green Snake with Three Flower Pupils.

After receiving the warning, Lord Sky Snake found a place to sit down, still with a gentle smile on his face. He nodded to everyone present without saying a word.

Xiao Lin also noticed that the Heavenly Snake Venerable, who was full of aura yesterday, actually became timid after seeing this old friend of the family!

Xiao Zhen's eyes were solemn. He sent a system reconnaissance and quickly got the information he wanted.

Character: Gu Yuan

Position: Chief of the Ancient Clan

Age: Over 2,000 years old

Cultivation: Peak of Nine-Star Dou Sheng

Comment: There are not many people on this continent who can fight him. He can wipe out the entire Gama Empire from the world with just one finger.

Xiao Zhen just smiled and nodded to everyone, then found a seat and sat down. Facing the Chief of the Gu Yuan clan, he really felt the pressure.
