Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

Inside the residence of the patriarch of the ancient clan, Gu Yuan was sitting on the main throne, a hint of helplessness in his eyes, and in front of him was Xun'er, who had come to make requests countless times in the past three months.

"Father! I want to go into the Heavenly Tomb too!" Xun'er's face was filled with solemnity as she demanded, "Brother Xiao Yan hasn't come out for three months! I must go in and find him!"

"I've said it many times. I gave him the token. If he's in danger, I'll go in right away. Don't get involved."

Gu Yuan nodded with a slight headache. Of course, Gu Yuan knew the danger inside the Heavenly Tomb, so he specially gave the token to Xiao Yan to ensure his safety.

Gu Yuan felt guilty enough for not putting aside his responsibility to the ancient clan and helping Xiao Xuan. If the descendant of the Xiao clan, whom Xiao Xuan had been waiting for for so many years, encountered danger in the Heavenly Tomb, Gu Yuan would really not have the face to see Xiao Xuan again.

But judging by the time, it’s almost time for Xiao Yan to come out.

Just as Gu Yuan was thinking this, he suddenly raised his eyebrows, looked in the direction of the Tianmu Tomb in the back mountain, and glanced at his daughter who was about to say something.

"Okay, no need to argue to go in, he's already out."

Xun'er was stunned for a moment, and then she sent out her perception in the direction of the Heavenly Tomb. Then her frown immediately relaxed, and a look of joy appeared on her face.

Soon, the guard walked into the lobby and reported respectfully to Gu Yuan.

"Master Patriarch, Young Master Xiao Yan greets you."

"Let him in."

Gu Yuan waved his hand, and the guard responded and turned away. Xun'er excitedly left the lobby first to welcome Xiao Yan's arrival, and soon she saw Xiao Yan walking in.

"Brother Xiao Yan!"

Xun'er greeted Xiao Yan with joy when she saw him, but then suddenly froze in place, looking in amazement at Xiao Yan, whose temperament had been completely renewed, especially his azure blue eyes, which made Xun'er instantly fall in love with him. After a long time, a blush appeared on her face, and a hint of pink appeared in her eyes.

Brother Xiao Yan is so handsome!
Admittedly, objectively speaking, Xiao Yan’s appearance is not handsome, but in Xun’er’s heart, Xiao Yan has always been the most handsome man she has ever seen. This is the so-called filter bonus.

But today, seeing each other again after a long separation, putting aside the filter added to Xiao Yan, Xun'er really felt that Xiao Yan was much more handsome than before.

However, this handsomeness was not a change in appearance. Xiao Yan's appearance was almost the same as before, but his azure blue eyes and his changed temperament made him look completely different from before.

If the good impression that Xiao Yan gave people before mostly came from his inner qualities, then the current Xiao Yan's appearance alone is definitely enough to conquer most people.

Xiao Yan was also a little surprised when he saw Xun'er, and then gave her a faint smile.

"Xun'er, long time no see."

puff!

Xiao Yan's smile made Xun'er's already flushed face even redder, and her heart almost stopped beating. She had always paid great attention to her image, but this was the first time she couldn't control herself and responded stumblingly.

"Hello, long time no see"

After saying this, Xun'er realized that this was not a good idea, so she immediately turned her back and took deep breaths.

Calm Calm Calm
When Xiao Yan saw Xun'er's reaction, he frowned slightly, walked to Xun'er's side, bent down slightly, and moved closer to her face with a worried look.

"Xun'er, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"

As he spoke, Xiao Yan lightly placed his forehead against Xun'er's. Xun'er, who had not yet completely calmed down, saw Xiao Yan's face so close to her. His blue eyes seemed to have the power to captivate people, and she instantly lost her soul. Her face turned red with shame, and finally, she became so excited that she fainted and fell softly into Xiao Yan's arms.

"Xun'er?!"

This frightened Xiao Yan greatly, and he immediately used his soul to check Xun'er's condition, but found that she was in perfect health and only fainted because of the rapid blood flow. This made Xiao Yan a little confused.

Xun'er is now a Dou Sheng. Logically, she should be able to fully control her body functions. How could her blood flow too quickly?
"Master Xiao."

Suddenly, a soft voice sounded beside Xiao Yan's ear. Xiao Yan turned his head and saw a woman dressed as a maid.

The maid was stunned for a moment after seeing Xiao Yan's eyes, but quickly suppressed her affection for Xiao Yan with her good professional qualities, and bowed to Xiao Yan respectfully.

"I am Miss Xun'er's maid. Please let me take care of Miss Xun'er. The clan leader is waiting in the lobby."

"Well, I'll trouble you then."

Xiao Yan nodded and handed Xun'er to the maid in front of him. After taking Xun'er, the maid bowed to Xiao Yan again, then turned around and walked away quickly with Xun'er in her arms. Her steps were a little messy, and she couldn't help but look back at Xiao Yan who entered the hall.

Is that Miss Xun'er's sweetheart? No wonder Miss Xun'er is so obsessed with him.

The maid had been wondering what kind of man was worthy of her lady's love, but she got the answer immediately after meeting him just now. Although he was not very handsome in appearance, his temperament made her feel good about him when she saw him for the first time.

Especially those azure blue eyes, which are the same color as the sky, so beautiful and fascinating.

After the maid took Xun'er away, Xiao Yan also entered the hall, went straight to Gu Yuan who was sitting on the main seat, clasped his fists and saluted respectfully.

"Patriarch Gu Yuan, I have come out from the Heavenly Tomb."

Gu Yuan was also stunned when he saw Xiao Yan's new temperament. It was really unexpected that there was such a big change in just three months. No wonder his daughter fainted when she saw him outside.

Fortunately, Gu Yuan was extremely powerful, and his stunned expression returned to normal in just a moment. Xiao Yan also took out the token that Gu Yuan had given him and handed it back to Gu Yuan.

"Patriarch Gu Yuan, this is the token you gave me earlier. Please keep it."

Gu Yuan reached out to take the token and casually placed it on the table. Then he looked Xiao Yan up and down and spoke slowly.

"Looking at you, the blood transfusion was successful, right?"

"Yes." Xiao Yan did not hide it and nodded. Xiao Xuan had mentioned the blood pool before and Gu Yuan also knew about it. This time, sending Xiao Yan into the ancient tomb was to let him meet Xiao Xuan, and then exchange blood with Xiao Xuan's help.

Hearing Xiao Yan's affirmative response, Gu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"It'll be good if it succeeds."

In this way, I can make up for it a little.

Just then Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and spoke softly.

"I have something to apologize to you for. I was unable to deliver the apology you asked me to convey."

Xiao Yan’s apology made Gu Yuan slightly stunned, and then a hint of sadness appeared in his eyes and he waved his hand lightly.

"It's okay. It's not right to let someone else apologize for you. She's a junior, so it's okay if I didn't apologize." Gu Yuan said, and he let out a deep breath. Thinking of the old woman's disappointed look at him before, he narrowed his eyes and whispered as if he had made up his mind: "I'll go in and apologize to her myself when I'm mentally prepared."

"How about now?"

"Ok?"

Xiao Yan's inexplicable words made Gu Yuan's expression stunned for a moment, and then Xiao Yan closed his eyes slightly, and opened them again. His azure eyes had turned into dark blue, and his temperament instantly changed from tolerant and broad-minded to heroic. He put one hand on his waist, a hearty smile on his lips, and looked proudly at Gu Yuan who was sitting in the seat.

However, this sudden change in temperament was not the main reason why Gu Yuan was stunned. The real reason was that he felt the old friend he had not seen for a long time from this temperament!
"You...you..."

Gu Yuan stood up tremblingly from the main seat, his eyes wide open, looking at Xiao Yan in disbelief. The latter folded his arms and looked at Gu Yuan with a grin.

"Gu Yuan, do you still remember that you have a sworn sister? For example, me~"

Xiao Xuan!!!

"How could you?"

This sentence made Gu Yuan instantly confirm the identity of Xiao Yan in front of him. His hands couldn't stop shaking, and his eyes revealed excitement that was difficult to conceal.

Over the years, since Xiao Xuan's residual soul had remained in the Heavenly Tomb, Gu Yuan had thought of many ways, hoping to allow Xiao Xuan to leave there.

However, the final result was nothing, but I didn't expect that today.
Gu Yuan's tears flowed involuntarily, which was totally inconsistent with his previous majesty. If the other elders saw it, they would surely be shocked.

"Sister Xiao Xuan, you."

"Okay, you're over a thousand years old, aren't you ashamed to cry?"

Xiao Xuan grinned, walked forward, grabbed Gu Yuan's shoulders and pushed him aside, then sat down on Gu Yuan's seat without any hesitation, leaned back in the chair with his legs crossed, put one hand lightly on the side of his face, glanced at Gu Yuan and scolded him softly.

"Look what I said. I told you that you were not a good clan leader, but you insisted on being one. As a result, you have been feeling guilty for thousands of years. Was it worth it?"

"I"

Gu Yuan, with tear marks still on his face, wanted to say something, but in the end, he couldn't utter anything. He lowered his head and obediently accepted Xiao Xuan's scolding.

If others saw this scene, their worldview would probably collapse!
Judging from Xiao Xuan's performance, people feel that she is the master here, especially since Xiao Xuan is still using Xiao Yan's body at this time, which makes people feel even more ridiculous.

A kid from outside sat in Gu Yuan's seat carelessly, and scolded Gu Yuan, the patriarch of the Gu clan, as if he was scolding a junior. Moreover, Gu Yuan just listened silently, without any sign of being angry. This series of behaviors is outrageous enough if taken individually, let alone when put together!

Arrogant! Too arrogant! How dare he? !
Looking at Gu Yuan who was standing in front of him and dared not say a word, Xiao Xuan stared at him with his eyes slightly narrowed.

The two had known each other for hundreds of years. Xiao Xuan certainly knew the character of his sworn brother. Xiao Xuan also guessed that when the Xiao Clan was besieged by the Soul Clan, the Gu Clan must have also been invaded by people sent by the Soul Clan. Even if an invasion of that scale could be handled without Gu Yuan, as long as Gu Yuan was still the patriarch, his personality would not allow him to abandon his responsibilities and run to the Xiao Clan to lend a helping hand.

So everything has two sides. Gu Yuan was designated as the new clan leader by the old woman because of his sense of responsibility and conservative character. It was also because of this character that Gu Yuan did not save his sworn sister.

For so many years, Gu Yuan had never dared to enter the Tian Mausoleum because he was afraid of facing Xiao Xuan's remaining soul.

"Okay, I'm comfortable with your attitude."

Xiao Xuan did not forget that he was now using Xiao Yan's body. If the elders of the Gu clan saw Gu Yuan standing here being scolded by Xiao Yan, they would probably be furious.

After Xiao Xuan urged him several times, Gu Yuan recovered a little, but he still didn't dare to look up at Xiao Xuan's eyes, which made Xiao Xuan glance at him helplessly.

"Your dilatory personality hasn't changed in a thousand years." Xiao Xuan pointed at Gu Yuan and cursed, "Can you be more of a man? I, the person involved, don't care about you, and you're still fussing about it!"

Xiao Xuan criticized Gu Yuan so unscrupulously, but the more he criticized, the more relieved Gu Yuan felt.

Once upon a time, when traveling on the mainland, Xiao Xuan accused himself over and over again in the same tone, making Gu Yuan seem to have returned to the ignorant moment when he had just left the ancient clan and went to Zhongzhou.

"Alright, I won't say more. Just figure it out on your own." Xiao Xuan supported his face with one hand and raised his hand to instruct Gu Yuan, "Now go do something for your sister first."

"Please give me your orders, big sis! I will do my best to complete whatever it is!"

Gu Yuan looked at Xiao Xuan and assured him, while Xiao Xuan twisted his fingers.

"Ah, just prepare something for me." Xiao Xuan thought for a long time, and then waved his hand impatiently, "Forget it, let me tell you in person. I can't remember all those miscellaneous things."

After saying that, Xiao Xuan closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes had returned to Xiao Yan's blue ones. He stared blankly at Gu Yuan who was standing in front of him. The two of them just stared at each other for a long time.

After a while, Xiao Yan slowly stood up from Gu Yuan's seat, then carefully moved to the side little by little. In the stunned look of Gu Yuan, he spoke respectfully to him with a little embarrassment.

"Chief Gu Yuan, please sit down and I will explain it to you in detail."
