Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Page 507

Through Xun'er's introduction, Xiao Fan and the others learned about Grandpa Chen's identity. He was the protector that the ancient clan had arranged for him after Xun'er came out.

Having finally escaped a life-or-death crisis and reunited, Xiao Yan and Xun'er naturally couldn't hide their longing for each other.

Xiao Fan wisely refrained from joining them, leaving the two of them alone.

Xiao Fan sat cross-legged to the side, recovering his fighting spirit and soul power, after all, the six-colored fire lotus had almost drained him dry.

"That's terrifying..."

Xiao Fan recalled the terrifying aura emanating from the center of the six-colored fire lotus when he condensed it, and a look of lingering fear appeared on his face.

Although the difference between the Five-Colored Fire Lotus and the Six-Colored Red Lotus is only the number of different types of strange fire, the difficulty of obtaining them is several times greater.

Xiao Fan chose the Six-Colored Fire Lotus because he had no other choice at the time.

Although he ultimately defeated Huang Luo with the Six-Colored Fire Lotus, during the process of condensing the Six-Colored Fire Lotus, his fighting spirit and soul power seemed to be devoured, and he couldn't stop.

Even with Xiao Fan's current physical condition, he was finding it difficult to keep up.

He found it extremely difficult, and even now, thinking back on it, he feels a lingering fear.

Chapter 268 The Secrets of the Moon Clan (Sixth Update)

The depletion of both his soul power and battle qi left Xiao Fan completely helpless, like a lamb to the slaughter. Faced with the explosive impact of the two attacks, Xiao Fan had almost no ability to resist, as his battle qi and soul power were completely exhausted.

If it were to fall on him, he would likely only perish.

Fortunately, Xiao Yan and Xun'er came to his aid at this moment, joining forces behind Xiao Fan to save him.

Otherwise, Xiao Fan himself probably wouldn't have been able to withstand the power of the six-colored fire lotus explosion.

"Senior brother, now that our trip to the ruins is over, we plan to return to Starfall Pavilion first. Would you like to come with us?"

Not far away, Xiao Yan and Xun'er expressed their longing for each other, but they didn't waste too much time. After a brief reunion, they had already suppressed their excitement.

Xiao Yan and Xun'er walked up to Xiao Fan. Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Fan, whose face was a little pale, and spoke with longing in his eyes, clearly wanting a positive answer.

"No!"

Unfortunately, Xiao Fan's answer greatly disappointed Xiao Yan.

Xiao Fan shook his head and did not agree to return to the Starfall Pavilion with Xiao Yan.

Xiao Fan's gaze then fell on Xun'er. He had already guessed that Xun'er knew Yue Yao, and since he had just encountered her, he wanted to ask her about his doubts.

"Brother Xiao Fan, what's wrong?"

Xun'er noticed Xiao Fan's gaze falling on her and a hint of confusion appeared on her face.

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Fan finally asked, "Xun'er, do you know anything about Yueyao?"

"..."

Xun'er looked surprised when she heard Xiao Fan's question. However, considering the relationship between Yueyao and Xiao Fan, she could understand.

However, when Xun'er thought of the news about the Spirit Clan that she had seen in her clan, the smile on her face disappeared, replaced by a hint of hesitation.

After all, Xun'er knew that the information about the lord recorded in the clan was far too cruel for Xiao Fan.

Even with Xiao Fan's terrifying talent, he is already able to fight against Huang Luo, a second-stage Dou Zun.

However, Xun'er still clearly understood the difficulties Xiao Fan was facing.

"Xun'er, Yueyao, is she related to the eight ancient clans?"

Seeing the hesitation on Xun'er's face, Xiao Fan seemed to understand something, but he did not give up and asked Xun'er.

"Ok!"

Xun'er took a deep breath and then nodded gently. Since Xiao Fan already knew, she had nothing to hide.

She didn't intend to hide the news about Yueyao.

Xun'er's gaze fell on Xiao Fan, and she asked solemnly:

"Brother Xiao Fan, how much do you know about Yueyao, and what stage has your investigation reached?"

When Xiao Fan heard Xun'er's question, a serious expression appeared on his face. After thinking carefully for a while, he told Xun'er everything he knew about Yue Yao.

"I only have a rough guess."

Xiao Fan's gaze fell on Xun'er, then he looked at Xiao Yan, who was standing to the side with a curious expression, as if he were watching a melon. He reached out and punched Xiao Yan lightly before continuing:

"Back in the inner academy, I knew that Han Yue and Yue Yao's identities were related, but after I arrived in Zhongzhou, I didn't find any information related to Senior Han Yue."

"Later, by chance, I came across an ice-blue spear, emanating an energy aura that is still terrifying to think about. It must have been something beyond the Dou Zun level."

"An ice-blue spear!?"

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's description, Xun'er suddenly interrupted him, a look of excitement appearing on her face.

Immediately, Xun'er waved her hand, and her internal fighting spirit surged into the air, outlining the shape of a long spear, which she showed to Xiao Fan.

"Brother Xiao Fan, is this what the spear you saw looked like?"

"That's right!"

Xiao Fan's eyes lit up when he saw the spear shape that appeared in Xun'er's hand, and he nodded slightly.

"Xun'er, do you know the origin of this spear?"

Jun'er nodded slightly, but did not interrupt at this moment. Instead, she mocked Fan and said:

"Brother Xiao Fan, please continue."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan nodded slightly and then recounted how he had pursued the spear, mistakenly entered the Sound Valley, and learned that the Sound Valley was a subordinate force of Yue Yao.

However, when Xiao Fan mentioned that Yin Gu was a subordinate force of Yue Yao, Xun'er's face did not change at all, suggesting that such news was not a secret among the ancient clans.

However, when Xun'er heard Xiao Fan's identity as the Moon God Envoy, her expression turned completely astonished.

"The Moon Goddess's Messenger!?"

Xun'er's gaze fell on Xiao Fan, a look of surprise on her face as she carefully examined him.

Immediately, golden flames rose in Xun'er's eyes and landed on Xiao Fan's body again. This time, she noticed a mark on Xiao Fan's forehead.

"I see……"

Xun'er looked at Xiao Fan with a very complicated expression.

Having anticipated this, Xiao Fan remained remarkably calm. He waited until Xun'er had processed the information before speaking:

"Alright, Xun'er, that's all I know."

Xun'er nodded slightly upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, but her gaze toward him was somewhat hesitant.

"Xun'er, don't worry about it. We've known each other for so long, surely you know my personality?"

Xiao Fan smiled nonchalantly, gave Xun'er a reassuring look, and then spoke.

After listening to Xiao Fan's words, Xun'er nodded slightly after thinking for a moment, and then spoke:

"After we parted ways in the inner courtyard, the last time I saw Yueyao was at the Spirit Clan's investiture ceremony."

Xun'er looked at Xiao Fan and spoke.

"When the Spirit Clan held the ceremony to confer the title of Holy Maiden, they invited the eight ancient clans to watch. I was one of the ancient clans who attended the ceremony."

"It was during this ceremony that I met Yueyao."

"Holy Maiden..."

Upon hearing this, and combining it with the information he had obtained in the Sound Valley, Xiao Fan realized that the Spirit Clan Saintess Xun'er was referring to was probably Yue Yao.

However, upon suddenly learning Yueyao's identity, Xiao Fan felt no joy whatsoever; instead, a sense of unease arose within him.

He knew better than anyone that the privileged daughters of powerful families like these had no control over their own lives, or rather, their destinies.

Everything is arranged by the clan.

Combined with Yueyao's resistance to cultivation when they first met, Xiao Fan had a vague guess in his mind.

"That's right, Yueyao is the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Clan!"

Xun'er looked at Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan beside her, and the two of them slowly spoke.

However, to Xun'er's surprise, Xiao Fan did not show much shock, but Xiao Yan showed a hint of astonishment.

"And then what? Is Yueyao completely unable to decide her own fate? Some of the old guys in the Spirit Clan are always making her do this or that, or burdening her with some kind of mission..."

Xiao Fan looked at Xun'er and slowly spoke, his tone calm.

However, the cold glint in the depths of his eyes was hard to decipher.

"how do you know……"

Xun'er was moved by Xiao Fan's words. She looked at Xiao Fan with a puzzled expression. Xiao Fan should not know such secrets concerning the eight ancient clans.

After all, in Xun'er's opinion, since Xiao Fan asked her about Yue Yao, he should not know Yue Yao's true identity.

Xiao Fan shouldn't know what's happening within the Spirit Clan.

However, judging from Xiao Fan's confident demeanor, he seemed quite certain about all of this.

"Just as I expected!"

Xiao Fan listened to Xun'er's question, but this was tantamount to admitting that what Xiao Fan said was true. Xiao Fan rubbed his brows, a helpless look on his face.
