Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Page 343

The middle-aged figure revealed his face; it was none other than Ling Ying, who had secretly followed Xiao Yan back then.

Upon hearing Xun'er's words, Ling Ying smiled faintly, her gaze filled with a hint of doting affection. She said with a gentle smile, "Of course you will. Since returning to the clan, Miss, you have never gone out. I'm sure the clan leader is worried about you. Knowing that you want to go, he will definitely agree."

"No way."

Upon hearing Ling Ying's answer, Xun'er seemed to be sulking, poking the delicate flower hard with her fair fingers, making it wobble and tilt. Then she continued, "He won't consider me, just like those clan elders."

As soon as she finished speaking, a golden flame ignited in Xun'er's eyes. She snorted coldly, revealing a hint of authority, and said, "But this time, even if they don't allow it, I will still go."

Xun'er clenched her fists, her eyes narrowed, and her aura became even more terrifying.

Ling Ying sensed Xun'er's aura, her eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of emotion in her heart: "Miss's strength has increased again. My strength is no longer enough to help her..."

Inevitably, Ling Ying felt a sense of helplessness and disappointment.

"Uncle Ying, tell me... Brother Xiao Yan, does he... does he miss me?"

Xun'er's cheeks flushed, and her voice carried a hint of shyness. If Ling Ying hadn't had such keen hearing, he probably wouldn't have been able to hear Xun'er's last words.

"Ha ha ha ha........"

Seeing Xun'er's expression, a smile flashed in Ling Ying's eyes, and she said, "Miss, I think you're missing Young Master Xiao Yan, aren't you? Hahaha..."

"Uncle Ying!"

Hearing Ling Ying's teasing, Xun'er stood up, stomped her foot, glared at Ling Ying, then turned her head to the side, pouted, and said nothing more.

Although Ling Ying's strength has gradually fallen behind hers, in Xun'er's heart, Ling Ying is more like a kind elder who always stands behind her no matter what. He even protected Xiao Yan for a period of time in her place. In Xun'er's heart, he is no different from a family member.

Xun'er only showed this girlish demeanor in front of Ling Ying. She couldn't be this relaxed in front of her father, Gu Yuan, the patriarch of the ancient clan.

At the top of the mountain not far from Xun'er, Gu Yuan's figure appeared on the mountaintop at some point. Looking down at Xun'er, who was smiling sweetly and looked like an innocent girl, a faint smile appeared on Gu Yuan's face. His gaze towards Ling Ying by the big tree was filled with a rare look of envy.

As the wind blew by, Gu Yuan's figure disappeared from the mountain peak once again.

Having been a Hui Muslim for so long, this was the first time he had seen his daughter so happy. He had gone down to her place before, but he wasn't good at sharing his thoughts with his closest daughter, so he could only silently support her from the shadows.

"Miss, the clan leader has replied, ordering you to depart immediately to represent the ancient clan and offer your congratulations to the spirit clan's grand ceremony."

Inside the valley, just as Xun'er was lost in thought, Ling Ying, who was beside her, sensed the guards outside. When he returned, he had a faint smile on his face and spoke to Xun'er.

"real!?"

Upon hearing Ling Ying's words, Xun'er's face lit up with joy. Then, her aura suddenly changed. Golden flames swept over her, and Xun'er was dressed in a complex purple dress adorned with phantom images of magical beasts, giving her an extraordinary presence.

Although Xun'er was unwilling, she knew that since she was going on behalf of the ancient clan, she could not act impulsively and had to show the spirit and demeanor of the ancient clan.

After Xun'er came out of the valley, two elders with the strength of Dou Zun were already waiting there. When they saw Xun'er come out, they smiled and nodded slightly to her.

"Grandpa Su, Grandpa Zhe, it's actually you two! I'll have to trouble you both a lot from now on."

Upon seeing the two elderly men, Xun'er smiled appropriately, gave them a respectful bow, and spoke gently.

"Hehe, it's our honor to be able to help you, Miss."

Gu Su looked at Xun'er's actions and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He hurriedly raised his arm towards Xun'er, but felt extremely comfortable in his heart.

"Now that we're ready, let's set off!"

Glancing at the procession following behind the two, Xun'er knew that everything was ready. She smiled and nodded to the two, then walked ahead for a hundred years, her whole body rising into the air and flying away into the distance.

The group following behind Xun'er were all at the Dou Zong level. They flew into the air, their auras extremely terrifying.

Watching Xun'er lead everyone away, Ling Ying did not make a move. With his strength, he was not qualified to attend such an occasion. If he went, people would think that the ancient clan had no one left and had even released such a useless person.

Watching Xun'er leave, Ling Ying returned to the valley. Although the young lady had left, he couldn't neglect the cleaning and tidying work. After all, the young lady might come back at any time, and if she suffered any grievances outside, he wanted to give her a comfortable and familiar home.

"Clan leader."

However, as soon as Ling Ying stepped into the valley, she saw an unexpected figure. The person stood quietly where Xun'er had been sitting, and his aura was terrifying, like a prehistoric beast.

Upon hearing Ling Ying's words, Gu Yuan turned to look at Ling Ying, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Ling Ying, you have been by Xun'er's side for long enough. Your strength is no longer of any use to her. From now on, your responsibilities will change."

Upon hearing Gu Yuan's words, Ling Ying's face showed no change, only a hint of melancholy flashed in her eyes. She nodded respectfully to Gu Yuan and said in a low voice, "Yes."

P.S. I did it at 5 AM!!! Please give me some support!!!

Chapter 69 The Origin of the Spirit World

"Wait a minute!"

Just as Xun'er and the others were heading towards the outside world, a low shout came from behind them.

Upon hearing this voice, Xun'er frowned slightly, a rare look of disgust flashing in her eyes. Without stopping, she continued flying towards the outside world.

The two Dou Zun following behind Xun'er exchanged a glance but did not speak. They simply followed behind Xun'er without reacting.

Anyway, Xun'er is the leader, and their only responsibility is to protect the young lady's safety. They won't get involved in anything else.

Swish!

As Gu Su watched Xun'er and the others move, a sharp whooshing sound came from behind. Gu Su frowned slightly upon hearing the sound, and a hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes.

The other party was far too arrogant, acting so recklessly within the clan. If it weren't for the fact that he had tempered his temper considerably over the years, Gu Su would have wanted to teach him a lesson.

"Hehe, Xun'er, are you just going to attend the investiture ceremony in the Spirit Realm?"

With a whooshing sound, a young man dressed in black armor, who looked to be no more than twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, appeared in front of Xun'er and her group. His eyes swept over Xun'er, flashing a hint of undisguised infatuation, and he asked Xun'er in what he thought was a gentle tone.

"Commander Lingquan, our whereabouts don't seem to warrant reporting to you yet, do they?"

Xun'er frowned slightly, looking at the young man in front of her. A hint of helplessness flashed across her face. Hearing the way he addressed her, a cold glint flashed in her eyes. She spoke to him indifferently, "Also, we are not familiar with each other. You don't need to address me like that."

Hearing Xun'er's distant tone, the young man's smile froze. Being rejected so bluntly by Xun'er in front of so many people caused a slight change in his mindset.

Seeing Xun'er's firm attitude, Ling Quan took a deep breath, then stood up straight instantly, exuding a sharp aura, and said, "By order of the clan elder, I, the commander, will lead a team of Black Annihilation Army to accompany you and protect your safety, Miss."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lingquan looked at Xun'er with a hint of fire in his eyes.

Xun'er's talent is extremely terrifying within the ancient clan. Although it is not yet time for her to awaken her bloodline, everyone is speculating about how high her bloodline level will eventually be.

Lingquan considered himself to be quite talented, and naturally admired Xun'er, who was arguably the most talented in the clan. Otherwise, he wouldn't have chased her all the way to the Black Corner Region.

"If Miss Xun'er has any objections, please report them to the clan elders."

As soon as Lingquan finished speaking, he stepped aside and remained silent. Not far away, a group of Black Annihilation Army soldiers had already joined the ranks behind Xun'er.

Hearing Lingquan's words, Xun'er's face showed a hint of helplessness. Go to the clan elders? Xun'er knew what the clan elders were thinking. If she went to the clan elders now, she would probably only get all sorts of excuses from them. If she hadn't been so tired of these arrangements, Xun'er wouldn't have stayed in one place for the past two years.

"Hehe, now that Commander Lingquan has led the team here, we will have to trouble Commander Lingquan with the rest of the trip."

Seeing Xun'er fall silent, Gu Zhe knew he shouldn't let the two of them get too tense. In his opinion, the two of them were both seeds of the future ancient clan, and it was normal for them to have some minor conflicts. Besides, the other party had already brought up the clan elders, so even if it was Miss Xun'er, she couldn't refuse.

Gu Zhe did this in an attempt to ease the somewhat cold atmosphere.

Xun'er nodded slightly upon hearing Gu Zhe's words and did not refuse again. She then glanced at Ling Quan beside her, walked around him, and led the team behind her to continue heading towards the outside world. However, before leaving, Xun'er's faint voice drifted away with the wind.

"Not the commander, just the acting commander. After all, the commander of the Black Annihilation Army cannot be a mere Dou Zong."

Upon hearing Xun'er's words, Lingquan stood frozen in place, watching Xun'er gradually walk away. His expression was calm, but his fists inside his sleeves were clenched tightly together, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

After calming down a bit, Lingquan joined the group and headed towards the Spirit Realm with Xun'er.

In the vast, spiritually rich world, towering trees blocked out the sun. In the distance, within a city built against the giant trees, rows of armored guards stood in neat rows.

In the center of the city, a huge spatial wormhole, ten zhang in size, stood stably in the middle of a vast square thanks to the extraordinary abilities of a Dou Zun powerhouse.

Around the square, every two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) there stood a guard in armor, exuding an extremely sharp aura.

A young woman with rare emerald green hair stood quietly in front of the spatial wormhole. Her eyes were also faintly amber in color, and the corners of her red lips were slightly upturned. She wore a white long dress that covered her beautiful figure. A gentle breeze rippled the dress, and occasionally, a glimpse of her fair and smooth calves could be seen peeking out from under the dress.

She exuded a tranquil aura.

"Om~"

Just then, a dense fluctuation emanated from the spatial wormhole in the middle. The surrounding guards stared at it intently, as if it were commonplace. However, the aura emanating from them seemed to be a bit sharper than before, like sharp swords standing tall in the square.

The young woman with emerald green hair sensed the fluctuations emanating from the spatial wormhole. Her amber eyes narrowed slightly, and she then focused her gaze on the wormhole in the center.

Under the gaze of the young woman with long, emerald-green hair, figures emerged from the spatial wormhole and lined up neatly on the plaza as soon as they stepped out.

The person in the lead was Xun'er, who was dressed in a light purple gown.

When the young woman with long, emerald-green hair saw the leader, a look of surprise appeared on her face. She curiously looked Xun'er up and down, and a faint light flashed in her amber eyes.

Just as the young woman's gaze fell upon Xun'er, a domineering golden flame suddenly appeared in her field of vision, blocking her view.

"Ok?"

A hint of surprise flashed in the young woman's eyes. Her beautiful eyes smiled as she looked at Xun'er and said, "Hehe, I didn't expect that the young patriarch of the ancient clan would come in person. It is truly an honor."

The young woman with long, emerald-green hair looked at Xun'er, her surprise still lingering.

"As one of the eight clans, the ancient clans would naturally not be absent from the investiture ceremony of the Spirit Clan's Holy Maiden. Besides, I have never participated in such a grand event before, so I naturally have to come and witness it."

Xun'er bowed slightly to the young woman, a serene smile on her face, and said, "You must be Aunt Tianchi. My father told me your stories when I was little."

"Hehehe."

The young woman looked at Xun'er's actions with a hint of satisfaction in her eyes and a sense of satisfaction rising in her heart. She then glanced at the group of people following behind Xun'er and said, "You are all guests from afar, please come with me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Tianchi led the group of ancient people away from the wide square and flew towards the giant ancient tree in the center of the world.

"The World Tree is truly amazing..."

The group flew in mid-air, looking at the huge ancient tree that covered almost half of the world's sky. The natural power emanating from the ancient tree made the flowers and plants in this world grow in a very special way. Among the spirit race, there were also many powerful people who were transformed from these spirits.

"hehe."
