Cheat: Only children make choices! I want them all

"Xun'er! Come here..."

Just when Ye Lingtian wanted to brag to Xun'er about his prowess, Gu Yuan called her over...

Ye Lingtian was speechless. This old man actually dared to interrupt my conversation with Xun'er. Be careful or I will make things difficult for you!

However, Ye Lingtian was just thinking about it, and he didn't really want to attack Gu Yuan. After all, he was still Xun'er's father, and he hadn't offended him. At most, he had affected his conversation with Xun'er, which made him a little unhappy...

Gu Yuan had no idea what Ye Lingtian was thinking. He took Xun'er's hand, asked her to stand in front of Xiao Zhan, and introduced her, "This is Xun'er! I'll have to trouble Patriarch Xiao to take good care of her in the future..."

After saying that, he looked at Xun'er and said to her, "Xun'er, the person in front of you is the head of the Xiao family. You can call him Uncle Xiao from now on. From now on, you will live in the Xiao family and change your name to Xiao Xun'er..."

"Daddy! Why?" Xiao Xun'er's little face was full of doubts. She frowned slightly and looked at Gu Yuan, somewhat puzzled.

It would be fine if she could live in the Xiao family, but why did she have to change her surname?

Gu Yuan naturally had his own considerations. Xiao Xun'er came to the Xiao family, firstly to recuperate and avoid the power disputes within the family, and secondly to search for the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade. If she used her real name, it would easily attract attention!

The Soul Palace has been restless in recent years. If they learn that there's a young lady surnamed Gu in the Xiao family, they'll undoubtedly associate it with their ancient clan, exposing the Xiao family's true colors. Then, in their quest to seize the Emperor Jade, the Xiao family will be in peril! Xun'er's safety would be difficult to ensure, and this goes against his will...

Seeing the obvious confusion on his daughter's face, Gu Yuan shook his head helplessly and sighed. He didn't intend to explain any more. He gently rubbed Xun'er's head and said earnestly: "Xun'er, just listen to daddy in everything. From now on, when you live in the Xiao family, don't mention anything about your surname or the family. Just take good care of yourself..."

"Oh! Xun'er knows..."

Gu Xun'er was now officially renamed Xiao Xun'er. Seeing her father seemed to be about to leave, Xun'er's face turned a little sad: "Daddy! Are you leaving?"

Gu Yuan's eyes darkened. He was helpless. If conditions allowed, who would want to be separated from their children?

"Xun'er, be good! Live well in the Xiao family from now on. Someone will take care of you..." After coaxing his daughter, Gu Yuan turned his eyes to look at Xiao Zhan again, wanting to say something...

Xiao Zhan quickly nodded with a smile. He had already understood Gu Yuan's meaning, so he immediately said to Xun'er with a kind smile: "Xun'er! From now on, just live with Uncle Xiao at ease. I'm here, and no one will disturb you..."

"In that case, thank you very much, Chief Xiao..." Gu Yuan smiled at Xiao Zhan, bowed his hands, then looked at Ling Ying who was standing aside, and nodded at him.

Ling Ying immediately understood and bowed slightly in response...

I believe that with Ling Ying protecting her, Xun'er's safety in the Xiao family shouldn't be a problem. It's time for me to leave...

Gu Yuan thought to himself, then looked at his daughter again and said softly: "Xun'er! Daddy is gone, you must take good care of yourself. If there is anything important, you can ask Ling Ying to help you pass on the message..."

"Xun'er knows..."

Xun'er's eyes were filled with reluctance, but she did not stop Gu Yuan. She could see that Gu Yuan was determined and would not change his mind easily.

I think Daddy is doing this for my own good. The Ancient Clan is indeed too noisy. Those clan members bother me every day, and I can't even find time to practice...

……

Gu Yuan left, leaving Xun'er to live in the Xiao family, while Ling Ying secretly guarded her and did not show up...

At this time, Xiao Zhan's third son, Xiao Yan, was bored and ran to the reception room. He heard the servants say that there seemed to be several distinguished guests at home today, so he was curious and wanted to come over to meet them...

"Father! Where are you?" Xiao Yan was dressed in luxurious clothes, with a defiant smile on his face, and walked to the door of the side hall with arrogant steps.

Xiao Yan was full of vigor and ambition in his youth. Ever since he displayed his precocious intelligence and possessed a remarkable talent for cultivation, he had recently broken through to the first level of Dou Qi and was hailed by his family as the most gifted genius ever. His personality had become even more erratic, and he looked down upon most of his peers. Furthermore, with the soul of an adult from another world residing within his body, he seemed somewhat out of place within the clan. Only Xiao Zhan spoiled him and helped him with many of his problems. Otherwise, he would have been ostracized by the other family members long ago. Even so, there were still many people who gossiped about him behind his back...

"Yan'er! Hahaha! You're here at the right time! Come, come here quickly..." Xiao Zhan heard his son's voice, responded with a loud laugh, and invited him into the side hall.

Xiao Zhan still cherished his son very much. One reason was that he was the last son left by his first wife, and another reason was Xiao Yan's extraordinary talent! Therefore, even if Xiao Yan's behavior was a bit reckless and vulgar, he would not blame him too much and basically doted on this youngest son...

"Father!" Xiao Yan stepped into the hall, holding his head high and chest puffed out, with an unruly smile on his face. However, after seeing his father, he restrained himself a little.

He also knew that his comfortable life today was entirely due to his father, the clan leader. So even though he was usually unruly, he would not act too ostentatiously in front of his father...

At this moment, Xiao Yan glanced and saw the purple-clothed girl standing next to Xiao Zhan. A look of amazement suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he secretly exclaimed: What a pretty girl! I didn't expect to meet her in the family. I don't know which family she is from. If... hehe...

Xiao Yan had the soul of an adult living inside him, and he seemed quite lustful, otherwise he wouldn't have peeped at his cousin bathing and sneaked into a young girl's room in the middle of the night. So when he saw Xiao Xun'er, he couldn't help but have some evil thoughts in his mind...

"Father! Is she the distinguished guest from our clan?" Xiao Yan asked curiously, completely suppressing the swagger on his face. Instead, he forced out a relatively gentle smile and looked at Xiao Xun'er...

"Haha! I was just about to introduce her to you..." Xiao Zhan knew that the girl had an extraordinary background. He had just been paying close attention to the changes in his son's expression. Seeing that he seemed to be interested in the girl, he couldn't help but have a bad idea in his mind. He nodded imperceptibly, wanting to bring the two together. So he pulled Xiao Yan closer to Xun'er and introduced him, "Come! Yan'er, meet your cousin Xun'er! From now on, Xun'er will live in our Xiao family. You two should get along well in the future. If you have time, you can visit more often..."

When he said this, Xiao Zhan tilted his head slightly and winked at Xiao Yan!

Xiao Yan smiled knowingly, looked at Xiao Xun'er and said with a smile: "Hello, cousin Xun'er, my name is Xiao Yan, you can call me cousin Xiao Yan..."

Xun'er nodded after hearing this, without much emotion in her heart, and replied softly, "Hello, cousin Xiao Yan..."
