Chapter 271: Conversation

Although they found it tricky, they couldn't just run back to the Gu Clan without a word after coming all this way.

Therefore, Gu Qingyang cleared his throat and said, "Brother Xiao Ming, I'm not sure if you're aware, but the Xiao family and our clan had a connection in the past."

"Oh?" Xiao Ming raised an eyebrow and gestured towards the Snake-People Commanders who were injured. "Is this how you honor old connections?"

In any case, Gu Qingyang knew that he was in the Snake People Tribe, and ordering his subordinates to act against them did not seem like giving Xiao Ming a face.

Gu Qingyang let out a dry laugh and felt his face grow hot with embarrassment. How could he bring up old connections after such a blunder?

After a brief pause, he casually took out an emerald green jade bottle and said, "We will compensate for this matter. This is a six-tier healing pill, enough to heal their injuries. What do you think, Brother Xiao Ming?"

It was not uncommon for Gu Qingyang to have six-tier pills on him. Six-tier pills were suitable for the Dou Emperor realm, which was exactly his realm.

Even if Gu Qingyang were to take out a seventh-tier pill, Xiao Ming would not be surprised.

Xiao Ming raised his hand and sucked the pill from Gu Qingyang's hand into his palm. "Since that's the case, I'll thank General Gu Qingyang on their behalf. Now, do you have anything else to say?"

"The matter is like this; your Xiao Clan Ancestor had an agreement with our clan to give us the Tou She Ancient God's Jade. Since so much time has passed, shouldn't you honor that agreement and give it to us?" Gu Qingyang said, without feeling the least bit uncomfortable at the mention of the Tou She Ancient God's Jade.

Fortunately, Xiao Ming was a reincarnator. If it were any other member of the Xiao family, they probably wouldn't even understand what Gu Qingyang was talking about.

This was simply because the current Xiao family had long forgotten their own family history, including the name "Tou She Ancient God's Jade".

They only knew that this jade could be used to sense whether the Clan Head was dead or not.

Of course, perhaps Xiao Zhan knew a little more.

After hearing Gu Qingyang's words, Xiao Ming chuckled and pretended not to understand.

"The Gu Clan is a well-known presence throughout the continent. When I was six years old, I left home to study and knew little about the family's affairs. I didn't expect that we still have such a relationship."

"However, as for the Tou She Ancient God's Jade, even if you come to me for it, you've got the wrong person. I don't have this so-called Tou She Ancient God's Jade, and my Xiao family doesn't have any special jade either. It should have been lost a long time ago. After all, before me, the strongest person in my Xiao family was only a Dou Grandmaster. Even if we ever had items that your clan valued, they should have all been lost or sold long ago."

Gu Qingyang definitely did not believe Xiao Ming's words. How could a valuable item like the Tou She Ancient God's Jade be lost? The Gu Clan had sent Xun'er to look for it for over a decade, but she didn't find any trace of it. If it was hidden so securely, how could it be lost? He didn't believe it.

Most people of the Gu Clan also thought the same way: the Tou She Ancient God's Jade must have been hidden by the Xiao family.

If they could not find it in the Xiao family, then it would have to be in the possession of the strongest person in the clan.

Of course, Xiao Ming knew that this statement would not convince Gu Qingyang and his group. However, one thing he said was not wrong - he didn't really have the Tou She Ancient God's Jade with himself.

"Brother Xiao Ming must be joking; how could such an important item as the Tou She Ancient God's Jade be lost? I think it's only right that we honor the agreement made by our ancestors." Gu Qingyang said.

Xiao Ming naturally ignored this statement. How could the Xiao family agree to give the Tou She Ancient God's Jade to the Gu Clan for free?

In fact, the content of this agreement was established by Xiao Xuan.

Before Xiao Xuan died, he found Gu Yuan and made an agreement. If Xiao Xuan became a Dou God, he would give the Xiao family's Ancient Jade to Gu Yuan and help him become a Dou God too.

But if he failed to be promoted, he would lend the two spots of the Xiao family for the Heavenly Tomb to the Gu family, hoping that the Gu Clan would help the Xiao Family and give their outstanding juniors the opportunity to enter the Heavenly Tomb to pay homage to him, the Ancestor of the Xiao Clan.

After Gu Yuan got the spots from the Xiao Clan, the Clan Head of the Xiao Family, with the oh-so-immense help of Gu Yuan, managed to break through to Dou Grandmaster! He then relied on his almighty Intermediate Xuan Qi Method and overwhelming strength to dominate Wu Tan City!

Tsk tsk!

Xiao Xuan was aware that the Gu Clan had not fully complied with the agreement, but if he had known that the Gu Clan had not complied with the agreement at all, it is feared that he would have been so furious that he would have slapped to death all the members of the Gu Clan who had entered the Heavenly Tomb.

Despite this, Gu Yuan and the Gu Clan still had designs on the Xiao Clan's Tou She Ancient God's Jade.

In terms of shamelessness, Xiao Ming would certainly recognize them as having the thickest face!

As if sensing Xiao Ming's contemptuous gaze, the young man behind Gu Qingyang became furious and said, "Xiao Ming, don't underestimate yourself. I admit that you have some talent, but in front of our Gu family, your talent is not enough to be seen!"

The Ancient Clans valued bloodline grade as the most important factor. Those with high bloodline grades experienced a terrifying leap in strength after undergoing the emperor's altar baptism.

Therefore, all these people of the Ancient Clans had their eyes above their heads, and when they saw that Xiao Ming showed little respect in his words, they naturally felt that Xiao Ming had disrespected them greatly.

"Hehe, in front of the entire Gu Clan, my insignificant talent is indeed not enough to be seen, but for you..." Xiao Ming shook his head, showing a very disdainful look.

For the Gu Clan, Xiao Ming did not have a good impression, and this person even spoke out of turn, so naturally, he would not be polite.

"You..." The young man was angry.

"That's enough! Aren't you ashamed enough?" Gu Qingyang scolded.

The young man immediately shut his mouth and dared not speak when scolded by Gu Qingyang.

Gu Qingyang's status in the clan was not something he could compare to.

"Since Brother Xiao Ming doesn't want to hand over the Tou She Ancient God's Jade, let's forget it. But the clan has assigned the task to us. It wouldn't be good to return just like that." Gu Qingyang said.

"Do you mean to have a fight?" Xiao Ming asked casually.

Gu Qingyang didn't speak, which was obviously an agreement.

'This Gu Qingyang is quite confident, despite knowing that I am a Dou Ancestor, he still wants to make a move, tsk, but with the Gu Clan's heritage, he might have the means to rival a Dou Ancestor.'

As the atmosphere between Xiao Ming and Gu Qingyang became tense, Zi Yan flew into the sky with the newly crafted Man-Demon Sky Puppet given by Xiao Ming.

"Xiao Ming, will there be a fight? Leave it to me! I can also try out the combat power of this thing." Zi Yan said, patting her small chest confidently.

Xiao Yi Xian also flew into the sky, her voice full of coldness.

"Should I intervene?"

She, who had her heart set on Xiao Ming, was absolutely livid with these unwelcome guests. Her beautiful face was stern, and her eyes brimmed with a fierce, icy stare.

Even Medusa flew into the sky, her eyes flashing with anger. She kept remembering the incident of her tribe members getting injured by these people.
