Chapter 61 This jade is extremely precious; the ancient clans should eat it first!
"This...this is the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade!"
Seeing the astonishment on Xiao Xun'er's face, Xiao Yan's expression also changed, and he exclaimed, "This is actually the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade?"
"You know?" Huo Yuhao turned to look at Xiao Yan, his face showing a questioning expression.
"I don't know." Xiao Yan recovered from his shock and asked, "Xun'er, do you recognize this thing?"
Xun'er's face was a mixture of surprise and confusion. After hesitating for a long time, she gritted her teeth, walked quickly to the two of them, and whispered, "Brother Xiao Yan, Brother Yu Hao, where did you get this jade?"
"Dad gave it to me, what's wrong with it? Is it very precious?"
"Speaking of which, I have heard of the name Tuoshe Ancient Emperor before." Huo Yuhao stroked his chin, his voice filled with reminiscence: "He was said to be the last Dou Di on the Dou Qi Continent."
At this point, Huo Yuhao scratched his head, a look of sudden realization on his face: "So this jade piece was left behind by the Dou Di. No wonder I couldn't figure out its principle."
Xiao Xun'er stared intently at the ancient jade in Xiao Yan's hand, her thoughts churning like a tidal wave. After a long while, a look of relief appeared on her face.
"Brother Xiao Yan, Brother Yu Hao, please be careful in the future. Don't take out this Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade in front of others." Xiao Xun'er's voice was more solemn than ever before as she told them about the origin of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade and the past of the Xiao Clan.
"So, Xun'er, you..." Xiao Yan's gaze was complicated.
Xun'er, however, dared not look at Xiao Yan, and said softly, "Brother Xiao Yan, I don't want to lie to you, I really came here..."
"How so?" Xiao Yan looked at Huo Yuhao, the complexity in his eyes disappearing in an instant.
"The inheritance of the Dou Di, it's impossible not to be tempted!" Huo Yuhao looked up, his voice seemingly filled with longing.
"However, the Xiao clan, one of the eight ancient clans, has fallen into decline and become the Xiao family. This ancient jade is more of a curse than a blessing." Huo Yuhao took the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade from Xiao Yan's hand, and his spiritual power crossed space to connect with the clan leader Xiao Zhan and several elders.
"Father, elders, I apologize for disturbing you so late at night. There is something I need to ask for your opinion on. Xiao Yan and I plan to give Xun'er the clan leader's inheritance jade tablet."
"This matter... you can decide for yourselves." Xiao Zhan closed his eyes, completely unconcerned. He casually plucked a slice of cucumber from his face and popped it into his mouth.
The elders were stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in shock, "No! Xun'er isn't a member of the Xiao family, how can she inherit the position of clan leader!"
"Elders, you've misunderstood," Huo Yuhao said with a smile. "I'm just giving away this jade piece."
"This..." The Second Elder and the Third Elder hesitated.
Just then, the First Elder's voice rang out: "But Yuhao, our Xiao family has an ancestral precept that this jade piece must not fall into the hands of outsiders. It can only be kept by the clan leader."
"Elder, only those who can pass on their traditions are qualified to talk about ancestral precepts! Now our Xiao family..." Huo Yuhao recounted the grudges between the Xiao clan and the ancient Soul Clan that he had heard from Xiao Xun'er.
"If an enemy like the Soul Clan comes looking for the ancient jade, what should we do? What will we use to defend ourselves? Perhaps we should just send it away directly."
Once the words were spoken, a long silence spread through the shared spirit, as if an eternity had passed.
"Very well!" The First Elder's voice was strained, and his hands trembled uncontrollably where no one could see. "Yuhao, you... and Xiao Yan are the future of our Xiao family. We... will not interfere in this matter."
After saying that, the Grand Elder let out a long sigh of relief, looking much more relaxed, as if he had finally let go of a long-standing knot in his heart.
After getting the answer he wanted, Huo Yuhao played with the ancient jade in his hand, flicked it lightly with his thumb, and casually tossed the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, which had driven the eight ancient clans mad, towards Xiao Xun'er.
"It's yours."
Seeing that Huo Yuhao and Xiao Yan were completely indifferent to a treasure involving the inheritance of a Dou Di, Xiao Xun'er was dumbfounded. Holding the ancient jade that had been casually tossed to her, she stood there for a long time, opening her mouth but not knowing what to say. Finally, she inexplicably blurted out:
"They just throw them around like that, aren't they afraid they'll break!"
Huo Yuhao laughed and said, "Xiao Yan and I just tried it. Whether we burned it directly with beast fire or burned it first and then froze it, we couldn't destroy it. We also couldn't leave a mark when we cut it with a knife."
"Besides, if it could break from a fall like that, then this Tuoshe Ancient Emperor is probably a fraud," Huo Yuhao joked.
"Then..." Xiao Xun'er held the ancient jade, her fingers tracing its somewhat sharp edges, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She took a deep breath and returned the ancient jade to Huo Yuhao.
"I'll go home and discuss with my father what we can exchange for it."
At this point, Xiao Xun'er revealed a sweet smile full of anticipation: "It just so happens that Brother Xiao Yan has taken a year's leave. Let's meet at Canaan Academy a year from now."
Just as Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er's gazes were beginning to drift apart, Huo Yuhao interrupted, "By the way, do the ancient clans have any strange fire? Your brother Xiao Yan really needs some."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xun'er was visibly taken aback. After a moment's hesitation, she seemed to have made up her mind. She raised her hands and formed a mysterious hand seal in front of her chest.
"Miss! You mustn't!" An aged voice rang out, and Ling Ying appeared beside Xiao Xun'er, pressing down on her hand.
"This Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame is the inherited extraordinary flame of our ancient clan! Even the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade cannot be exchanged for it."
"Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame? Could it be the fourth-ranked Strange Flame on the Strange Flame Ranking?!" Huo Yuhao and Xiao Yan exchanged a glance, both shocked.
After studying Yao Chen's Bone Spirit Cold Flame, Huo Yuhao actually guessed that Xiao Xun'er's body also contained a kind of strange flame, but he did not expect it to be such a high-ranking strange flame.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao secretly complained in his heart: This ancient clan is really bold. They dare to let a clansman with the strength of Xiao Xun'er bring out this inherited strange fire. The guards around her are only Dou Huang. Aren't they afraid of the enemy race? Will the Soul Clan send someone to snatch it?
"Elder Ling, I know what I'm doing!" Xiao Xun'er was not swayed by Ling Ying's words, and her hand seals continued. Her waist-length hair gradually spread to her feet, her aura began to rise, and golden flames emanated from her eyes.
"This, this could be, some kind of secret technique to enhance strength?" Xiao Yan's jaw dropped to the ground, his voice stammering.
"It's not a secret technique, it's a seal." Huo Yuhao's expression turned serious.
Yao Chen's voice resounded in their spiritual seas: "That's right, the eight ancient clans forbid the cultivation of secret techniques, so this is this girl's true strength!"
Xiao Xun'er's aura continued to rise until it reached around seven or eight star Dou Shi before gradually stopping.
However, at this very moment...
"No!" A voice as powerful as the heavens boomed in everyone's ears. Everyone who heard it went weak in the knees and almost collapsed to their knees. Xiao Xun'er was so shocked by the sudden shout that her mind trembled violently, the hand seal she was about to complete instantly collapsed, and her aura rapidly dissipated.
"Who!" Huo Yuhao was horrified. He unleashed all his mental power without reservation, instantly covering every inch of the surrounding space, frantically searching for the source of the sound! However, his mental power swept across the area but could not find any trace.
