The Origin of Gu Xiao

An old man in white stood up and said to Gu Yuan, his tone was full of seriousness.

The identity of this old man is not simple. He is one of the oldest existences of the Gu clan and occupies a central position among the elders present.

Your words are of great weight. As soon as his voice dropped, Gu Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, Elder Gu Dao, Xiao'er is very important. I naturally won't let him leave the clan. Please calm down."

Gu Dao breathed a sigh of relief and sat down.

Gu Yuan looked around, his eyes twinkling a little, and when he mentioned Gu Xiao, he remembered when he met Gu Xiao.

That day was just a normal morning, and he was looking at the sea of clouds on top of one of the Gu clan's mountains.

Then, suddenly, the entire Ancient World trembled, the sky was filled with brilliant rays of light, thousands of thunder fell from the clouds, a lot of rain fell from the sky, and endless golden lotuses appeared on the ground.

The purple mist came from the East and stretched out endlessly.

He has never seen such an incredible scene.

Shocked, he quickly headed for the source of the strange event.

When he arrived at his destination, he was immediately greeted by an exceptionally bright twelve-colored lotus flower that was slowly falling from the sky.

The lotus was about three meters in diameter and had twelve petals in total. Each petal is composed of a different color, exuding a sacred and noble aura.

The aura he felt from that lotus, even with its nine-star Dou Sheng peak strength, terrified him, and he could not muster any resistance in the face of this aura.

He doesn't know how strong the owner of this aura is, but he knows that at least he will be in the Doudi kingdom, because nothing but the aura of someone from the Doudi kingdom will scare a man at the nine-star Dou Sheng pinnacle.

And in the middle of the twelve-petalled lotus was a small baby, filled with radiant light, and that baby was Gu Xiao.

It was precisely because he was aware of how extraordinary Gu Xiao was that he returned to the ancient world immediately with Gu Xiao in his arms.

Gu Xiao's origin is extremely mysterious, and the event caused by his birth is even more surprising than that of Emperor Tuoshe, which was recorded in ancient books.

He was trapped on the peak of Nine Star Dou Sheng for many years, and because of that he has an extreme craving for Ancient Tuo She Gu Di's Tomb.

Did he make assumptions about Gu Xiao's identity, whether he was the son of a goddess who descended from the sky or the reincarnation of an ancient Dou Di?

To be honest, he doesn't know!

But no matter what, Gu Xiao's incredible origins and birth event made him suspect that in Gu Xiao's body there might be an opportunity to become a Dou Di, so he naturally wouldn't let Gu Xiao leave the Gu clan.

After all, he wasn't the only one who sensed Gu Xiao's existence after his birth, and some people might just be waiting for a chance to kidnap him.

"Patriarch, since Young Master Gu Xiao cannot leave the clan, and you don't want to force Miss Xun'er, this old man suggests that we should choose another suitable candidate from the clan to replace Miss Xun'er. Anyway, we're still going to get the Tuo She Ancient God's Jade from the Xiao family."

Hearing Gu Yuan's words, an elder said out loud.

As soon as he said that, the other elders also nodded and expressed their approval, this was the best choice for them.

"I agree with Elder Gu Lin, choose a good candidate as soon as possible. I will personally send him to Xiao's house at that time, and there shouldn't be a big problem about that."

Gu Yuan gave his opinion and the final word was given.

"Yes Patriarch!" Several elders responded in unison.

"Well, that's it for today, dismissed." Gu Yuan's voice dropped, his figure glowed and he disappeared.

Many elders looked at each other and then slowly walked out of the room as they talked.

　　...

Elsewhere in the clan, Gu Xiao and Gu Xun'er are still holding hands and walking along a road.

The breeze blew, bringing a burst of floral fragrance, a rich fragrance that puts people at ease.

"Xun'er, did Uncle Gu mention to you if he still wants you to go to the Xiao family?"

As he walked, Gu Xiao asked aloud.

He knew that the reason Gu Xun'er could still stay in the clan and not go to the Xiao family was entirely because of him.

Gu Yuan and the entire Gu clan wanted something from him. They always thought that in his body was hidden an opportunity to become a Dou Di.

Even for the people of the Gu clan, their existence is more important than Tuo She Ancient God's Jade. There are eight pieces of Tuo She Ancient God's Jade, and these eight pieces can be used to open the Ancient Tuo She Gu Di's Tomb!

He knows very well that these people are racking their brains trying to discover their secrets and strengthen the old clan.

Gu Xun'er is close to him and is the only person who has a close relationship with him. The clan will naturally not object to this, because it will make him feel a sense of belonging to the clan and become more attached. As long as he's there, these people won't force Gu Xun'er to do nothing.

But really, there is no such thing as a unique opportunity to become a Dou Di.

After all, this was all a scheme of the system. The event of your birth was something done by the system. He's just a supposed genius whose physique is still sealed.

"Since that day, my father hasn't spoken to Xun'er about it."

As expected, Gu Xiao's theories proved correct.

"It seems that Xun'er's cry was very effective." Gu Xiao said with a playful smile.

At that time, Gu Xun'er was only four years old. Although her mind matured early, she was only at most seven or eight years old in maturity when she was four. Unlike her now, her mind is currently no less than that of a twelve- or three-year-old girl, so she was so panicked at having to leave Gu Xiao that she burst into tears right away.

Gu Xun'er's pretty face flushed when he heard Gu Xiao mention this. This can be considered as one of the most embarrassing things she has done so far.

This was the first and only time she had cried since she was two years-old.

"Brother Gu Xiao !" Gu Xun'er bit her lip, an embarrassed look on her face.

"It's okay, it's okay, I won't mention it anymore." Gu Xun'er's face is thin, and Gu Xiao naturally knows. Seeing her embarrassed, Gu Xiao immediately stopped the teasing.

"Let's sit over there, Xun'er." Gu Xiao pointed to a small pavilion not far away and said softly.

"OK!" Gu Xun'er replied, taking small steps, and walking with Gu Xiao to the small pavilion.

There is a stone table inside the pavilion. As a place where Gu Xiao and Gu Xun'er often play, there are always lots of fruits and pastry. The two children sat down and started eating some pastries that were on the table. The atmosphere in the pavilion was quiet for a while as the two enjoyed their treats.

"Looks like you two little ones are in a pretty good mood today."

A deep voice rang in they ears, and Gu Yuan's figure suddenly appeared in the pavilion.

He looked at the two children with a gentle smile on his face.

"Dad!"

"Uncle Gu!"

Seeing Gu Yuan appear, Gu Xun'er and Gu Xiao shouted at the same time, and Gu Xun'er descended from the stone bench and dove into Gu Yuan's arms.
