Chapter 767 Meeting Gu Yuan
After leaving the Demon Fire Space, Yao Wan came to the Ancient Clan again after several days of traveling.

"The clan leader hasn't returned in recent days. Miss Yao Wan may need to wait for a few more days."

Yao Wan's arrival is indeed quite big news for the ancient clan. Miss Xun'er has not returned, but the eldest lady of the Yao clan has come. No matter how you think about it, it makes people feel that something is wrong.

However, even though they all had some doubts in their hearts, when it came to their attitude towards Yao Wan, even the elders of the ancient clan, who had many different opinions, mostly maintained a consistent attitude.

Guests are welcome, so let’s wait for the clan leader to come back before making a decision.

In this way, Yao Wan was arranged to stay on a beautiful spiritual peak in the ancient world. She was seldom disturbed on weekdays, which was convenient for her to practice and wait.

As for the patriarch of the ancient tribe who had not returned for a long time, Yao Wan actually had some guesses in her mind.

In all likelihood, Xun'er's father is going to deal with the Stone Clan's affairs.

Yao Wan had mentioned this matter to Xiao Xuan back in the Heavenly Tomb, but she didn't know what would happen if it was outsourced to Gu Yuan...

In fact, Yao Wan was very worried. She was not even surprised that the Shi Clan was destroyed. After all, Yao Wan really could not agree with Gu Yuan's efficiency.

However, Yao Wan didn't expect so much. As long as he confirmed that the Soul Clan was not honest now, Yao Wan could basically be sure that this matter would succeed.

At least we can talk about it...

Two months passed in the blink of an eye during this wait. When Yao Wan opened her eyes again, it was Gu Nanhai who came up the mountain to look for her.

"Miss Yao Wan, the clan leader has returned with the distinguished guests from the Stone Clan and is asking me to come over."

When seeing Gu Nanhai again, the kind old man's face showed a little more relaxation, and he looked like his backbone had returned.

"Your clan leader also brought distinguished guests from the Stone Clan?"

Yao Wan couldn't help but let out a light exclamation, and asked subconsciously to make sure she had heard it wrongly, while at the same time, the stone in her heart fell to the ground.

Now that all the people from the Shi Clan have been rescued, there won't be any major problems. The problems that have been bothering Yao Wan for the past two months have finally been resolved, making her feel a lot more relaxed.

"That's the best way."

Yao Wan nodded: "Please lead the way, Elder Nanhai."

"Okay, okay, Miss Yao Wan, please come this way!"

As he spoke, Gu Nanhai brought Yao Wan to the huge palace complex that he had visited during the ancient tribe’s coming-of-age ceremony.

In a magnificent hall, two tall figures with different temperaments stood with their hands behind their backs, as if waiting for the arrival of some particularly important person.

One of them had a breath as strong as the wind, as if he was integrated with the heaven and earth, while the other was unusually tall, with skin of a rather strange grayish-white color, like a huge rock, with an aura that could swallow mountains and rivers.

But judging from their expressions, both of them are in a bad mood.

Especially the unusually tall man, his brows were furrowed and he said nothing.

After a while, he heard the man beside him sigh and say, "Here they come." He raised his eyes and saw two figures flying into the hall.

The first time she entered the hall, Yao Wan saw the two people who had been waiting for a long time, and she recognized their identities almost immediately.

Speaking of which, this was her first time meeting Gu Yuan.

Seeing the two people coming here, the figure smiled slightly and said, "You are finally here."

The man in front of Yao Wan was about forty years old, and looked like an ordinary middle-aged man, dressed in a simple linen robe. Although his brows were slightly furrowed, a smile appeared on his face when he saw Yao Wan, which made people feel a little relieved.

When Gu Nanhai saw the smiling middle-aged man, he bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Chief. I have invited Miss Yao Wan."

The middle-aged man nodded gently: "Thank you for your hard work, Nanhai."

Soon, his attention finally fell on Yao Wan in front of him.

This was not the first time he had seen Yao Wan, so he was naturally deeply impressed by this brilliant young girl.

"I've met the clan leader."

Although Yao Wan did not have too much respect for Gu Yuan, she at least treated him with some respect as an elder.

"It's okay. You and Xun'er are of the same generation and have a close relationship. It's okay for you to call me uncle."

Gu Yuan smiled and was not too surprised at Yao Wan's current level of cultivation.

After all, the strength and talent she had demonstrated at the ancient tribe's coming-of-age ceremony were not comparable to that of ordinary people. Today's achievements could be considered as being mediocre based on his estimation of her previous performance.

"I won't say any more polite words. Does my niece Yao Wan know the identity of this person?"

After a few simple polite words, Gu Yuan immediately asked, and Yao Wan's gaze fell on the overly tall and strong man.

"You may not know how much gratitude you have shown to him and the entire Stone Clan."

"A favor? Me?"

Yao Wan was stunned, and her mind flashed with thoughts. She immediately realized something and slowly widened her light golden eyes.

"Okay, Chief Gu Yuan, let's stop talking about these roundabout ways." The tall man coughed and looked at Yao Wan and said, "Daughter of the Yao Clan, this time the Shi Clan was saved from genocide. This kindness will be forever unforgettable for the Shi Clan."

Yao Wan looked at the man and was silent for a moment. Then she turned to look at Gu Yuan and said, "Sure enough, the Shi Clan is..."

"Niece Yao Wan's prediction was indeed correct. This time the Fanshi tribe has indeed escaped a great disaster."

Gu Yuan sighed and then said.

"Because of the Soul Clan?"

"Yes, it was because of the Soul Clan that I waited outside the Stone Realm for a long time. After the aura of the Demon Fire Space completely subsided, the Soul Clan quickly took action."

"That was Uncle Gu Yuan's move...?"

Apart from this, Yao Wan really couldn't guess what kind of existence could make the Soul Clan give up the fat piece of meat of the Stone Clan.

"It's nothing more than a delaying tactic. After that, I will immediately start to lead the movement of the stone world with the Stone Clan leader to ensure the safety of the Stone Clan."

Gu Yuan let out a long sigh. Although he had forced the Soul Clan to retreat, it was not a success for him.

Yao Wan nodded silently. Besides, how the Ancient Clan and the other eight clans would deal with the Soul Clan after this was also a big problem.

"Okay... Brother Shi, if you have nothing else to do, I still have some matters concerning my daughter that I need to discuss with my niece Yao Wan alone. Nanhai, you can take Brother Shi downstairs to rest first."

Gu Yuan's words also made the Stone Clan leader nod his head. Before leaving, the Stone Clan leader looked at Yao Wan again and said, "If you need me in the future, I will go through fire and water for you without hesitation."

Yao Wan nodded slightly and watched Gu Nanhai take the Stone Clan leader away.

"It's not easy for the Stone Tribe either."

Yao Wan's tone was slightly lamentable.

“But if we do nothing to save them, it may be a disaster for the Stone Clan.”

Gu Yuan sighed, but he didn't delve into this issue any further. He changed the subject and said, "Speaking of which, I already know about Xun'er's affairs. Nanhai and Qingyang have already told me what happened. Since it is her own choice, let her go. I believe Xiao Yan will protect her."

Yao Wan was speechless for a while at this point. Although she had long been aware of Gu Yuan's laissez-faire attitude, she was still speechless when she heard Gu Yuan say this in person.

"That's not wrong—"

Yao Wan said, but she did not forget the more important matter.

As she spoke, Yao Wan took out the jade hairpin from her ring, which immediately attracted Gu Yuan's attention.

"Xun'er's hairpin is returned to its original owner today."

"Why would she give you this hairpin? Did you have an agreement with her?"

"Well... I wanted to let her speak in person, but since such an unexpected thing happened, I had no choice but to do it for her. Xun'er said that with this hairpin, I might be able to speak more easily."

"Then this girl underestimates her father a little bit..."

Gu Yuan shook his head, then accepted the jade hairpin from Yao Wan's hand and said, "Xun'er is very smart. If it was a small matter, she wouldn't have acted like this. I guess what you two want to tell me is not a small matter, right?"

"Um……"

Yao Wan nodded: "In short, the Soul Clan has been eyeing the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade of the Ancient Clan, and has already planted an undercover agent in the Ancient Clan, waiting for the right time to seize it."

After Yao Wan said this, even Gu Yuan, who originally had a very Buddhist attitude, couldn't help but frown.

"Are you serious? No, you already know who the undercover is?"

Gu Yuan was stunned. He was stunned and surprised at first, but then he immediately realized that these two children would definitely not speak nonsense casually. Since they had the courage to speak in front of him, they must be fully confident.

"I dare to ask Uncle Gu Yuan, who is the person who is guarding the ancient clan's Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade?"

Yao Wan asked.

Gu Yuan looked into Yao Wan's pale golden eyes and did not hesitate any longer: "He is a highly respected elder of my clan, named Gu Yang."

"Has this elder left the Ancient Clan within a thousand years?"

Gu Yuan's frown deepened: "A hundred years ago, he went out once, and since then he has lived in seclusion in the clan ancestral hall, guarding the ancient jade for more than a hundred years without any regrets."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yuan's extremely vast soul power suddenly unfolded, and in an instant, it had covered the entire ancient world, and in an instant, it had locked onto the person he mentioned.

Yao Wan was somewhat surprised at the strength of Gu Yuan's soul. Although he was always said to be suffering from malaria, in terms of cultivation, except for some unlucky guy who was locked up, it seemed that Emperor Hun Tian might not be able to suppress him at the same level.

“——It’s true.”

While Yao Wan was sighing in her heart for a moment, Gu Yuan had already found out the truth. He frowned and slowly exhaled.

"What do you think, niece Yao Wan, should be done?"

Gu Yuan slowly raised his eyes and spoke slowly.
