Although Yao Lao could not determine Xu Ran's identity, he knew that Xun Er came from the greatly renowned Gu Clan.
The Gu Clan was willing to hide such a talent within the Xiao Family, there must be some secret within the Xiao Family.
Now, Xiao Yan is the first talent in the Xiao Family, combined with his mentorship, if he finds that earth-shattering secret, then Xiao Yan will certainly rise up opportunistically.
Back then, the Nine-Star Dou Sheng Xiao Xuan extracted the Dou Di Bloodline from all the members of the Xiao Family, in a desperate attempt to become a Dou Di and ensure glory for the Xiao Family for all eternity. However, Xiao Xuan failed, and without the Dou Di Bloodline, the Xiao Family started to gradually decline and even relocated to such a barren land to recuperate.
He did not believe that Xiao Xuan had not left anything behind, there must still be a great secret within the Xiao Family.
It's just that without a certain level of strength, it is impossible to unravel this secret.
"Now your 'Cultivation Level' is weak, and the world is talking about you. But once you become strong, at that time, everyone will only say that Nalan Yanran has poor judgment. All confidence comes from strength. As long as you are strong, everyone will cheer for you," Yao Lao seriously said.
"Teacher, I understand. I want to cultivate to become stronger, no matter what hardships I have to endure, I just want to become stronger!" Xiao Yan said with red eyes. He understood, this was his mission.
What the hell did Xu Ran come to the Xiao Family for?
Is Xu Ran coveting the treasures of his Xiao Family?
Now everyone in the Xiao Family thinks Xu Ran is a good person, only he knows the truth, and he must protect the Xiao Family. The Xiao Family was once so formidable, there must also be ways for it to rise again. Only if he masters these can the Xiao Family have a future.
He absolutely could not allow the Xiao Family's possessions to fall into Xu Ran's hands.
Thinking this way, Xiao Yan only felt a strong sense of mission wash over him.
He was fighting alone for a cause of a future.
"It's good that you've understood. When you break through to become a Dou Zhe, I will teach you even more powerful Dou Techniques!"
...
A day passed, and it was time for Nalan Yanran to leave.
Nalan Yanran wore a beautiful blue long dress, gazing at Xu Ran with a sense of melancholy, reluctant to leave.
"Xu Ran, I'm leaving, remember you have to think of me every day, you can't forget me. Also, you need to come to Yunlan Sect to find me soon," Nalan Yanran said. At this moment, she suddenly found herself filled with many things she wanted to say to Xu Ran.
"I will think of you," Xu Ran nodded.
"Young Master Xu Ran, you must come to Yunlan Sect if you get a chance. If the Sect Master returns to the sect, I will be sure to come and inform you," Ge Ye said, trying to curry favor.
"Hmm," Xu Ran smiled, thinking Ge Ye was quite accommodating. But for now, Yun Yun must be preparing to battle the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King; he could simply make a move and show off when the time came.
"So Xu Ran, I'm leaving," Nalan Yanran took a few steps but kept looking back, unable to part easily, and ultimately, she left.
Now, under Xu Ran's nurturing, Nalan Yanran's talent had once again soared. Naturally, Yunlan Sect valued Nalan Yanran even more.
...
After sending Nalan Yanran off, Xu Ran hurried back to the Xiao Family.
Yesterday, Xun Er was jealous, so to prevent Nalan Yanran from also becoming jealous he had not gone to find Xun Er.
Now that Nalan Yanran had left, Xu Ran naturally went to see Xun Er.
Xun Er was one of the most outstanding principal female characters he valued immensely in Dou Po; nothing could go wrong with her.
"Xun Er."
Xu Ran directly opened the door to Xun Er's boudoir, very casually, with no regard for propriety.
"You! Xu Ran, what are you doing here? Aren't you going to spend time with your little sister Yan Ran?" Xun Er was clearly still angry. Seeing Xu Ran come uninvited and casually enter her boudoir made her feel even more annoyed and embarrassed.
This guy was really shameless, treating her room as his own house?
Even a rogue knows not to casually enter a girl's room, doesn't Xu Ran know that?
"Yan Ran has already returned to the Yunlan Sect." Xu Ran walked over to Xun Er's side, and seeing the beautiful Xun Er getting jealous for him, he couldn't help feeling quite pleased.
Xun Er's gentle and agreeable nature was definitely the ideal type for most people, and Xu Ran was no exception.
"Then why don't you go to the Yunlan Sect as well? There's nothing interesting for you here," Xun Er said, turning her head away from Xu Ran, clearly still upset.
"Who says so? How can I leave with you here in the Xiao Family?"
"In my heart, Xun Er is the one I love the most. Xun Er is a miss from the Gu Clan; outside, countless people are pursuing her." Xu Ran couldn't resist saying.
"Hmph. Good that you know." Xun Er's expression softened slightly as she looked at Xu Ran but then recalled the intimate appearance between Xu Ran and Nalan Yanran from before.
Although she was also very beautiful and no less stunning than Nalan Yanran,
what was she to do now with Nalan Yanran acting this way?
Would Xu Ran think she's too conservative?
She hadn't given Xu Ran anything yet, while Xiao Mei had long... And with Nalan Yanran looking like that, she must have... with Xu Ran too...
What about her...
But she couldn't do that, if she really did that, her family would kill Xu Ran!
If she were to lose her virginity, the experts in her family would surely notice, and then Xu Ran would be in danger. In her eyes, Xu Ran, no matter how strong, couldn't possibly be a match for the Gu Clan, let alone her father.
Xu Ran was still so young, even if he were an extraordinary genius, he could at most have the "Cultivation Level" of Douzong or Dou Zun. Her father was a top existence even among Dou Shengs.
"Xu Ran, do you think that I..." Xun Er said softly, feeling a bit embarrassed to discuss such matters as a maiden.
"If I gave myself to you now, my family would find out. Then, you would die," Xun Er said gravely. Xu Ran's talents were probably insignificant in her family's eyes. The Gu Clan's experts of the same rank would look down upon other fighters because they possessed the Dou Di Bloodline. According to her father, with their Dou Di Bloodline, they were more hopeful of reaching that legendary realm, whereas the hope for experts from other clans in this age was slim.
If nothing unexpected happened, her family would probably arrange a marriage for her with someone from the other Dou Di Families to keep the family bloodline pure. Even if Xu Ran were excellent, the family might not allow them to be together unless Xu Ran proved himself to be exceptionally outstanding, eclipsing all others.
She could only hope that before that day came, Xu Ran would become even stronger, so she could Wander the Ends of the Earth with him.
"Silly girl. Why think so much? Maybe your family won't blame me at all? You're underestimating your husband's strength," Xu Ran said indulgently as he playfully scraped Xun Er's cute nose.
Gu Yuan was indeed very strong, but he would become stronger.
The gap between Dou Di and Dou Sheng is like a chasm.
Xiao Xuan had risked everything back then and still did not break through to Dou Di, instead meeting his end. The gap between Dou Di and Dou Sheng is even vast than that between Dou Zhe (Fighter) and Dou Sheng.
"Stop bragging, my father is a Dou Saint Expert..." Xun Er laughed softly, thinking Xu Ran was just boasting.
"Believe it or not, you'll see. When your father sees me, he might even show me a lot of respect," Xu Ran said with a slight smile. Xiao Xuan and the others hadn't been able to break through to Dou Di merely because they lacked Yuan Qi, and he had that thing.
