"Heehee, Daddy, I want to tell you something. Grandpa Zhu Kun has already accepted me as his god-granddaughter. From now on, if anyone dares to bully us, I'll make Grandpa Zhu Kun beat them up. During this time, Grandpa Zhu Kun also taught me a few Heaven Rank Dou Skills. I asked Grandpa Zhu Kun, and he said he could teach them to you too." Xiao Xue, as usual, affectionately threw herself into Xiao Se's arms.
"Is, is that so?" Xiao Se's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself, *This little girl really knows how to find a backer. But given Zhu Kun's strength and age, he is indeed qualified to be my precious daughter's god-grandfather.*
But when they meet Zi Yan, how should they address each other? If I, Xiao, remember correctly, Zi Yan calls my precious daughter Big Sister Xue'er, right?
Zi Yan is Zhu Kun's daughter and calls Xiao Xue Big Sister, but Xiao Xue has accepted Zhu Kun as her god-grandfather.
What a messy relationship!
"Daddy, you aren't angry, are you?" Seeing the strange look in Xiao Se's eyes, Xiao Xue raised her head and asked somewhat nervously. After all, she hadn't gotten permission from Xiao Se or Bibi Dong for this matter.
"How could I be? Dragon Emperor Senior is the strongest powerhouse on the Fighting Qi Continent. Being accepted as his god-granddaughter is something many people couldn't even dream of." Xiao Se dotingly rubbed Xiao Xue's head and asked Zhu Kun with a smile, "Zhu Kun Senior, how long have I been in seclusion?"
"Exactly one month," Zhu Kun said indifferently.
"Damn, this is bad. I'm going to miss Xun'er's Coming-of-Age Ceremony." Xiao Se's expression changed, and he hurriedly asked, "Zhu Kun Senior, how long will it take you to get from here to the Ancient World?"
"Without a Soul imprint, it will take about half an hour," Zhu Kun said solemnly.
"Please, you must take us there," Xiao Se pleaded.
On the Ancient Clan square, at this moment, Xun'er was still absent-minded, her gaze occasionally drifting toward the direction of the Ancient World entrance.
Ling Ying, who had already advanced to a Dou Zong, flew over from the Ancient World entrance, sighed softly, and shook his head helplessly at Xun'er.
Xun'er felt secretly heartbroken. Xiao Se had once said that when they both remembered those forgotten memories, they would be together. Xun'er, despite being weaker than Big Brother, had remembered everything. Could it be that Big Brother still hadn't remembered?
"First, Gu Santong."
While Xun'er was lost in her thoughts, the several Ancient Clan Elders on the square were fully prepared and read out the first name from the list.
A young man in the arena heard his name and hurried out, a look of obvious nervousness on his face.
On the high platform, a stern-faced Ancient Clan Elder clenched his palm, and a star disk nearly a zhang in size suddenly appeared before him. The youth in the arena stepped forward quickly and placed his trembling hand on the star disk.
After a short while, a strong light erupted from the star disk.
On the star disk, a star first appeared, followed immediately by a second star lighting up, and then a third. At this point, the other two Ancient Clan Elders also cast their gazes over, but after waiting for a while, no more stars appeared after the third, and they couldn't help but reveal expressions of disappointment.
The previous Ancient Clan Elder announced with some regret, "Gu Santong, Third Grade Bloodline, One-Star Dou Zong, Qualified!"
Upon hearing the Ancient Clan Elder's words, the young man was quite excited and retreated into the crowd, where many people looked at him with envious expressions.
"Second, Gu Yao!"
One, two, three... seven. Watching the seven stars slowly appearing on the star disk, the crowd suddenly erupted in an uproar. Even the other two Elders couldn't help but stand up; clearly, this test result had greatly shocked them.
"Gu Yao, Peak Seventh Grade Bloodline, Peak Dou Zong, Qualified!" (PS: The Dou Di Bloodline strengthens as one's strength increases. Here, Gu Yao appears nearly ten years earlier than in the original work. When Gu Yao appeared, he was an Eighth Grade Bloodline, Eight-Star Dou Zun.)
After the climax of Gu Yao, only eight out of the following dozens of people qualified; the rest were eliminated... Finally, it was almost time for Xun'er.
...
On the other side, with Zhu Kun traveling at full speed, Xiao Se and Xiao Xue finally arrived at the Ancient World entrance from the Forgotten Soul Mountain Range after less than half an hour.
"Who goes there? How dare you trespass into the Ancient Clan! If you know what's good for you, get out of here now." As soon as they arrived at the entrance, the three of them were stopped by a group of blind, Dou Zong-level Black Annihilation Army soldiers.
"Go report this. Tell them that Xiao Se of the Xiao Family has come to attend the Ancient Clan's annual Coming-of-Age Ceremony at the invitation of the Ancient Clan Clan Chief, Gu Yuan," Xiao Se said impatiently.
"Xiao Se?" Hearing this, the Black Annihilation Army soldiers were in an uproar. Ever since Xun'er returned from Jia Nan Academy, thanks to the propaganda of Ling Quan and his group, Xiao Se had become famous within the Ancient Clan, though it was an infamous reputation.
He had stolen Miss Xuner's heart while also fooling around with other women outside, having so many wives that one couldn't even count them on their fingers, and so on.
At this very moment, Xiao Se had become the public enemy of the entire younger generation of males in the Ancient Clan.
Especially today, he actually dared to stand up their own Clan Chief and call the Clan Chief by his name, which was an act of great disrespect.
One of the Black Annihilation Army soldiers, after getting the squad leader's permission, mustered up the courage to step forward and said, "You're late. Leave quickly and go back where you came from. The Coming-of-Age Ceremony started long ago, and it's likely about to end now."
Hearing this, Xiao Se frowned. He realized that the other party didn't want to let him in.
Just as Xiao Se was planning to force his way in, Zhu Kun, who had long lost his patience, directly took action. He opened his mouth and gently blew a breath at the Black Annihilation Army soldiers. Instantly, a violent wind arose, and the group of Black Annihilation Army soldiers was blown away without a trace.
"Let's go. If we're in a hurry, don't waste time with these brats." Zhu Kun patted Xiao Se on the shoulder. He could see that the Ancient Clan intended to make things difficult for Xiao Se. He didn't care about Xiao Se, but his newly accepted precious granddaughter Xiao Xue was a different matter; he could not let her suffer the slightest grievance.
Xiao Se nodded and flew into the Ancient World with Xiao Xue and Zhu Kun.
Not long after, they encountered several Dou Zun blocking their path. "Audacious madman, how dare you trespass into the Ancient World!"
Before they could finish speaking, they were slapped away into the horizon by Zhu Kun and disappeared.
The Dou Zun retreated, and a Half-Saint stepped up. The Half-Saint was slapped away, a One-Star Dou Sheng stepped up, the One-Star Dou Sheng was slapped away, and a Two-Star Dou Sheng stepped up.
Finally, when a Five-Star Dou Sheng was similarly slapped away by Zhu Kun, the three of them finally arrived at the Ancient Clan square.
And at this moment, it was just Xun'er's turn.
"Next, Gu Xun'er."
The Ancient Clan Elder called out the last slot with a complex look in his eyes. He knew that Xun'er was only eighteen years old and had already advanced to a Dou Zun. Furthermore, she was very likely the first person in the Ancient Clan in a thousand years to have the potential to reach a Divine GradeBloodline; otherwise, he wouldn't have arranged for Xun'er to be in the last slot.
Just as Xun'er thought Xiao Se wasn't coming and was about to go on stage to test her Bloodline grade, a Black Annihilation Army soldier fell from the sky and crashed onto the square in a sorry state.
Boom...
"Elder, someone is forcing their way into the Ancient Clan." After saying this, the Black Annihilation Army soldier passed out.
