Kurumi Tokisaki's Planar Journey - Chapter 516
“Understood, we’ll go shortly.”
The figure kneeling on one knee bowed even lower despite his formidable Dou Zong strength; in, in an ancient clan like the Gu Clan, he was no more than an ant.
If he weren’t directly affiliated with the highly confidential faction of the clan leader, he wouldn’t have been sent to act as a messenger for these two young ladies.
Moreover, that Miss Mo’er… Such terrifying talent at such a young age! As long as her bloodline test results were good, following this young lady could bring him unparalleled success!
Of course, “unparalleled success” here doesn’t mean money but rather some rare cultivation resources, which is precisely why he pledged his loyalty to the direct descendants of the Gu Clan.
“Ladies, I will take my leave now.”
It was only after Kurumi nodded that the figure slowly disappeared.
“Sister! Is it Father asking us to go?”
“Mm.”
A hint of unease crossed Xun Er’s chubby little face. In her world, “Father” was always silent yet sternvery stern person.
And the way those elders looked at her wasn’t wholly of goodwill.
At a young age, she was naturally susceptiblevery sensitive to how the outside world perceived her.
Only when her sister was by her side could she feel at ease?.
Kurumi retracted her gaze from the creek, the clock shadow in her left eye deeply hidden again. Looking at the slightly uneasy Xun Er beside her, Kurumi habitually grasped her little hand.
“Let’s go, don’t keep Father waiting, or those old men will start complaining again.”
Xun Er nodded hastily, not entirelyquite understanding why the elders were always strict with her.
Kurumi didn’t understand why many older menold men, probably not even as senior as Gu Yuan, dared to criticizecriticize a Nine-Star Dou Sheng.
Even in the original story, Xun Er’s bloodline had reached divine grade; her, her father was the clan leader, practically a young lord of the Gu Clan! Why would those Dou Zun-level elders still dare to offend Xun Er?
Who gave them the courage? Liang Jingru?
Kurumi couldn’t figure it out, but what puzzled her even more was why Gu Yuan, who was thousands of years old, had only recently had a child. recently?
Logically, Gu Yuan and Xiao Xuan were peers., Xun Er should be on par with Xiao Yan’s great-grandmother regardingin terms of seniority, but the development was beyond imagination!
Even Xiao Longnv and Yang Guo didn’t cross such a significantbig generational gap!
No wonder the elders objected. It, it wasn’t just about the divine-grade bloodline but also the reputation of the Gu Clan. To say Gu Yuan wasn’t involved behind the scenes, Kurumi wouldn’t believe it even if beaten to death!
Thinking this, Kurumi wiped the non-existent cold sweat off her forehead with her tinysmall hand, pushing all this mysterious business to the fantasy world. After all, with “fantasy” as an excuse, it wouldn’t be unacceptable even if the protagonist who just came of age married a being billions of years old; it, it wouldn’t be inappropriateunacceptable.
As long as the person looks pretty, everything else isn’t a problem!
Lost in thought, they unknowingly arrived at the discussion hall.
Perhaps because it was the clan leader’s family affair, the guards did not stop the two young ladies, nor did they announce their arrival.
However, the big shots in the fantasy world had long sensed the presence of the two little ones outside the door!
The elders standing by Gu Yuan’s side had kind faces, their ethereal presence making them look like ancient immortals!
The other faction’s attitude was lukewarm, merely nodding amicably to the two young ladies.
After all, they were just the clan leader’s daughters; no, no matter how talented, they had not yet grown up! If two Nine-Star Dou Shengs stood before them, they would simply say, “Alright, whatever you say, we’ll listen!”
Kurumi could feel that more gazes were on her while little Xun Er, who hadn’t interacted with strangers for a long time, felt deeply uneasy.
The small figure clung tightly behind Kurumi, trying to use her sister to shield herself from the stares.
Some elders couldn’t help but show a bit of pity in their eyes, but seeing Kurumi, a glint of brilliance flashed in their gazes.
RumourRumor had it that there were phenomena when these sisters were born, there were phenomena; even, even the long-dormant ‘Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame’ had inexplicable movements!
Various factions within the Gu Clan had long coveted the ‘Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame’; after all, it ranked fourth on the Heavenly Flame List!
The ‘Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame’ could incinerate space itself! Having it indirectly meant adding a Dou Sheng to their faction!
To the Gu Clan, the ‘Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame’ also had a hint of legitimacy, though not as practical as a divine-grade bloodline; even, even the Medicine Clan didn’t have such a high-ranking flame!
Moreover, divine-grade bloodlines hadn’t appeared for a thousand years; that thing had long become a thing of the past, and tthehe Seven-Colored Heaven Pen was almost collecting dust!
The seven-colouredseven-colored clan pattern, even within the Gu Clan, was more of a symbol of faith.
It hadn’t appeared for a thousand years, which was a very long time, even for the Gu Clan.
As the younger generation gradually entered the circle of power, the seven-colouredseven-colored clan pattern had almost become a legendary story within the clan.
But now, the clan leader finally had offspring! A Nine-Star Peak Dou Sheng’s offspring!
Miss Xun Er wasn’t to be counted on. Her, her natural foundation was damaged, making it difficult for herher difficult to achieve greatness. But Miss Mo’er was different! From birth, she displayed formidable talent and phenomena, indeedtruly a favoredfavored daughter of heaven!
With such a high parental bloodline concentration, the upcoming bloodline test should not have any major issues!.
Eighth grade? Or even higher, ninth grade?
Just thinking about it made their hearts burn with excitement.
They glanced at their own faction’s youngsters—nephews, grandsons, even great-grandsons!
If they could leave a good impression on this young lady and secure a marriage contract, having children would ensure their lineage’s prosperity for centuries!
Gu Yuan saw all this and felt very frustrated. His daughters eventually married, and hiswould eventually marry, and highlyandh thhe highly talented daughters movedwould subsequentlyones move to other branches, benefiting the Gu Clan.
Those with lesser talent would marry into other ancient clans to strengthen ties. Although the Gu Clan’s dominance didn’t require strengthening through marriage, those old-fashioned elders in the Council wouldn’t stress these points!
“San’er, bring your sister over here to sit.”
The clan leader spoke, and everyone held their breath as if those fervent gazes had not come from them earlier!
Kurumi held Xun Er’s slightly cold little hand. They walked, walking in their father’s direction while glancing at the elders and the kids beside them.
Those kids, each with high noses, appeared very proud when Kurumi looked their way!
Kurumi inwardlyKurumi inwardly grumbled., It was no wonder the younger generation of the Gu Clan would want to skin Xiao Yan alive for Xun Er!
Because looking around, out of dozens of kids, only she and Xun Er were girls!
‘Does the fantasy world also experience gender imbalance?’
