Chapter 40 Is this the clan leader’s wife?

The day before they were about to set off for the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, Xu Luo finally returned.

He was accompanied by a large, chubby, yellowish-grey dog. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a horned lion.

Xu Qingzhou sized up the chubby dog.

"Is this the demonic beast that hatched from the ancient era exotic beast egg?"

Xu Luo rubbed Little Grey's head, "It is. Master said it's called Sun猊 (Suan Ni). In the ancient era, they had an extremely powerful clan, but by this era, very few are left. I named it Little Grey."

He usually kept it in a Spirit Beast bag in crowded places, but he specifically let it out to show Xu Qingzhou.

"Sun猊 (Suan Ni)?"

Xu Qingzhou's face was filled with astonishment. Wasn't this an exotic beast that existed in the mythical world before he transmigrated?

How could it appear in the ancient era of this world? Could there be some connection between the two worlds?

Xu Luo asked, "Do you know this exotic beast?"

"No, I just think the name is special," Xu Qingzhou replied.

Xu Luo didn't press further.

"Yuhe City is very far from the Royal Capital. When are we leaving?"

Xu Qingzhou replied, "Early tomorrow morning, we'll take the Wanbao Pavilion's flying boat."

Lingyue City and Taixu City are on the east and west sides of the Great Qi Dynasty, while the Royal Capital is in the center of the Dynasty.

Yuhe City is nearly a hundred thousand li away from the Royal Capital. If Xu Qingzhou piloted the flying boat, it would be slow and unsafe.

It was better to take the Wanbao Pavilion's merchant ship.

Periodically, a large flying boat departs from the Wanbao Pavilion in various cities, heading to the three main branches.

You could buy a ticket and ride it; it was fast, stable, and safe.

…..

The next day.

Xu Qingzhou led a group of Xu Family members out of the Xu Family.

Currently, the Xu Family has nearly forty Cultivators in the Naling Realm. Excluding a few older ones and those in the early and Middle Stages of the Naling Realm,

only these eight young people in the Late Stage of the Naling Realm remained, and they were qualified to participate in the quota selection competition.

As for whether they could break into the top fifteen and secure a quota, Xu Qingzhou didn't know.

But Xu Qingzhou had a good mindset. It would be great if they could get a quota, but if not, it would just be an experience to broaden their horizons.

Su Xinyan had been following Xu Qingzhou closely, her head slightly lowered. There was a thin layer of mist on her face, making her appearance unclear, but her elegant and ethereal aura still drew attention.

This puzzled the Xu Family members. Looking at Su Xinyan's temperament, she didn't seem like a maid. Could she be the Clan Leader's wife, the future mistress of the Xu Family? This was a major event!

While others were just puzzled, Xu Luo was in disbelief.

With his methods, he could naturally see through the mist on Su Xinyan's face and recognized her as Su Xinyan from the Lingyue Sect.

However, Su Xinyan's behavior of following Xu Qingzhou like a little attendant left him utterly bewildered.

【What's going on! Is my memory messed up? How is Su Xinyan from the Lingyue Sect in the Xu Family? And it looks like she has a good relationship with Sixth Uncle.】

【I remember she doesn't like going out and dislikes crowded places. Why is she going to the Royal Capital with us?】

Because Su Xinyan's talent was extremely outstanding, coupled with her very special personality,

this made Xu Luo, who joined the Lingyue Sect in his previous life, remember her vividly.

In his previous life, after Su Xinyan rose to prominence, the Lingyue Sect relied on her to remain standing through repeated turmoil and changes.

But in this life, she seemed a little different.

Xu Luo feigned curiosity and stepped forward to ask, "Is this older sister also from our Xu Family? Why haven't I seen you before?"

Xu Qingzhou explained in a low voice, "Last time we were ambushed returning from Lingyue City, Mu Ge found out and was worried about the Xu Family's safety, so he pleaded with his Master to send someone to protect the Xu Family. Mu Ge's Junior Sister came."

Xu Luo suddenly understood.

【But what's with her following you, almost standing right next to you? In my previous life, I was in the Lingyue Sect for so many years, and I never saw her get this close to anyone else.】

【Could it be that after a few months of contact, they've developed feelings for each other? If Sixth Uncle had this ability, why hasn't he gotten married before? Could it be that he just hadn't met someone he liked before?】

Xu Luo could only suppress these various doubts in his heart.

Xu Qingzhou smiled slightly.

I don't know about your previous life, but in this life, she will be your cousin-aunt, the mistress of the Xu Family, from now on.

The Xu Family group arrived at the Wanbao Pavilion in Yuhe City. At this time, some people had already gathered here.

A part of them were rogue Cultivators and people from other forces in the city, also going to the Azure Dragon Secret Realm.

Another part were people from the City Lord's Mansion, led by Lu Zhen, and his daughter Lu Qingqiu was also there.

The City Lord's Mansion had a deep foundation, and their Naling Realm Cultivators were clearly more numerous and stronger. A small Family like the Xu Family, which had just started developing, couldn't compare for now.

This time, Lu Zhen personally led the team to the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, while Yuhe City was left for his son to manage.

When he was old and retired, the position of Yuhe City City Lord would be his son's. This was just early training.

Lu Zhen said with a laugh, "Brother Xu, this time in the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, your Xu Family will definitely have a fruitful harvest."

He was referring to Xu Muge. He thought the Xu Family relied solely on Xu Muge, not knowing there was also Xu Luo.

"Where, I just brought them to broaden their horizons," Xu Qingzhou replied, waving his hand.

Lu Zhen affirmed, "This is just their initial display of talent. Next time, the Xu Family will definitely become famous."

He wasn't just flattering. After all, with Xu Muge's talent, he would definitely have a certain level of strength and status in ten years, and the Xu Family would definitely be much stronger than it is now.

"I hope so," Xu Qingzhou sighed.

Lu Zhen noticed Su Xinyan beside him, as she was quite close.

"This is… sister-in-law?"

Xu Qingzhou directly took Su Xinyan's hand and nodded.

Although they were just holding hands and nothing was set in stone yet, Su Xinyan knew she had developed feelings for Xu Qingzhou and really liked being with him.

Now that he said this publicly, it made Su Xinyan incredibly shy. She lowered her head, her pretty face under the thin mist already flushed red.

Lu Zhen quickly said, "Old Brother is truly keeping secrets! When are you holding the wedding banquet? Don't forget to send Old Brother an invitation."

He felt some regret that the City Lord's Mansion couldn't form a marriage alliance with the Xu Family.

"No problem, I definitely won't forget you then," Xu Qingzhou replied.

Their conversation left the others nearby stunned.

Especially the Xu Family members.

What's going on? The Clan Leader is getting married? How come he didn't tell his Family about such a big matter!

The Xu Family Clan Leader is getting married, and the Xu Family members are the last to know. What kind of situation is this!

Xu Luo was also extremely shocked.

【Their relationship is indeed unusual!】

【I didn't expect my Rebirth to cause such a big change, directly altering the development trajectory of Su Xinyan and even the Lingyue Sect.】

Lu Qingqiu was slightly startled. Half a year ago, her Father still wanted to set her up with him.

Although she didn't like him at all, only half a year has passed, and he's already preparing to get married? This is too fast!

Lu Qingqiu glanced at Su Xinyan, unable to see what she looked like, and couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"She's even covering her face. How unconfident is she about her appearance?"

"But that's right. With this Xu Qingzhou's conditions, he could only find someone like this."
