Chapter 261: The Ancient Tribe's Mutation
"Stop grinning like an idiot, it's so silly!"

Zhu Zhuqing simply ignored Gu Xun'er, who had a very cute smile, and criticized her.

"Huh, you're not stupid at all, you're obviously very cute!"

Gu Xun'er didn't believe it. Her father always said that she was smart and cute, so how could she be stupid?

"Sister Zhuqing, where have you been these days? Is it fun out there?"

Although Zhu Zhuqing had only been away from Wutan City for about half a year, Gu Xun'er felt as if a long time had passed.

"It's not fun outside, and I didn't go anywhere. I just found some place to practice for a while."

Zhu Zhuqing answered perfunctorily.

"By the way, you are such a talented fighter. Logically speaking, after breaking through the fighting spirit, with your cultivation resources in the next six months, you should be able to break through to the fighting master level, right?"

Zhu Zhuqing is just like many parents. While chatting, she ends up talking about her child's sore spot.

Gu Xun'er's whole body was about to break apart.

What is she talking about? It took her more than half a year to cultivate from Dou Qi to an eight-star fighter. Isn’t that good enough?
Is there anyone other than you who can cultivate faster than me?
You know, she is improving at an average rate of one star per month, which is already very fast, right?

Just thinking about Zhu Zhuqing's terrifying level, Gu Xun'er felt that what she said was right.

She was indeed a little too relaxed.

"Sister Zhuqing, can we not talk about cultivation? As long as we don't talk about cultivation, we can still be good friends."

Gu Xun'er said depressedly.

Buzz!
Just when Gu Xun'er and Zhu Zhuqing wanted to continue talking, the jade pendant on Gu Xun'er's waist suddenly trembled.

Upon seeing this, Gu Xun'er quickly picked up the jade pendant and injected a trace of fighting spirit into it.

The jade pendant disappeared out of thin air, and was replaced by the projection of Gu Yuan's soul.

"Well, little friend Zhuqing!?"

Gu Yuan's originally anxious look calmed down the moment he saw Zhu Zhuqing.

I even had the mood to say hello to Zhu Zhuqing first.

"Senior Ancient!"

Zhu Zhuqing had naturally communicated with Gu Yuan and had made video calls with Gu Xun'er when she was with him.

This isn't the first time either.

However, Gu Yuan originally heard from Gu Xun'er that Zhu Zhuqing had gone out to gain experience and would probably take several years to come back, but he didn't expect that she would come back in less than a year.

But it was a good thing that she came back, as he just happened to have something to ask her.

"It's still so unfamiliar. Forget it. I don't know how His Majesty the Netherworld is recovering, little friend Zhuqing?"

Gu Yuan has always been dissatisfied with Zhu Zhuqing addressing him as "senior", but it doesn't matter now. What matters is the situation of Zhu Zhuqing.

"Master has recovered, but in order to avoid the loss of energy, she will not wake up easily unless I am in danger."

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head and forced the main account into standby mode, too lazy to switch forms to communicate with Gu Yuan.

"That's good. Because of a small accident, it's not convenient for me to take Xun'er back to the Ancient Clan for the time being. Please help take care of her."

Gu Yuan was also helpless. He had already sent someone to pick up Gu Xun'er, and they had already arrived at the entrance of the space tunnel.

But they ran into the protector Wu who had rushed back from the northwest continent. All the Douhuang teams were wiped out, and even Gu Xun'er's information might have been leaked.

He didn't dare to contact Gu Xun'er any more in the following period of time.

Otherwise, if the people of the Soul Clan knew that Gu Yuan had a daughter in the Northwest Continent, I don’t know what they would do.

Of course, he had another choice, which was to pick up Gu Xun'er himself, but if he left the Gu clan at this critical time, he was really afraid that the Soul clan would take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on the Gu clan.

So the only thing he could pray for now was that the people of the Soul Clan would stop focusing their attention on the Northwest Continent, and that Zhu Zhuqing could protect Gu Xun'er for a while.

He will send someone to pick up Gu Xun'er after the news in the northwest region has calmed down.

Zhu Zhuqing didn't know what had happened to cause problems with the shuttle team, but she felt that it might have something to do with her.

Can it be okay?
As soon as Guardian Wu went out, he saw that the people of the Ancient Clan were also preparing to set off for the northwest continent.

He always remembered Zhu Zhuqing's words to ensure that the Northwest Continent would not be seen by other forces, so he took action without any hesitation. In order to annihilate the people of the Ancient Clan, he directly exploded and slaughtered all the guards of the Ancient Clan.

"Okay, as long as she's with me for one day, I will naturally protect her."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded and agreed without any hesitation.

Her intuition told her that this matter might be related to her, so it must be related to her.

She didn't even have to think too much about it, considering the time, it must have been done by the Protector Wu, otherwise she wouldn't have this feeling.

"Father, are you all right?"

Although Gu Xun'er never wanted to leave Zhu Zhuqing, that was because the Gu clan and his father were safe.

But now judging from his father's appearance, something major might have happened to the ancient clan.

It was even so dangerous that she couldn't even take care of herself.

"Don't worry, father, I am the strongest man on the continent after all. There are many elders in the clan, and the only thing I worry about is you. As long as you are safe, I will not be threatened in any way."

Gu Yuan said with great dominance.

“But now that I have friend Zhuqing’s protection, I feel relieved.

Today, I, Gu Yuan, hereby promise that I will repay this favor in the future!"

Gu Yuan looked at Zhu Zhuqing and bowed to her with both hands.

"It's nothing. Xun'er and I are sisters, so it's only natural."

"Thank you very much, little friend."

Gu Yuan looked at Zhu Zhuqing deeply, his eyes full of admiration and envy.

"Well, you guys chat first, I'll go out for a walk."

After Zhu Zhuqing finished speaking, she stood up and left, handing the space over to the father and daughter.

"Father, I'm sorry, I didn't complete Tuoshe Gudiyu's mission, and I also caused the Xiao family to be wiped out."

When Gu Xun'er saw Zhu Zhuqing leave, she instantly wilted.

"Okay, I've told you so many times that I don't blame you. And even if one piece of Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade is missing, it doesn't matter. One more or one less piece is actually useless."

Gu Yuan said to Gu Xun'er while comforting her.

"Okay, I'll assign you another task."

Seeing that Gu Xun'er was not in high spirits, Gu Yuan had to find a way to divert her attention.

"Father, you say, I promise to complete the task this time!"

Gu Xun'er's eyes lit up instantly, as if she had done something wrong and was eager to make up for it.

"Don't worry, this mission is very simple. You must do everything you can to make friends with Zhuqing, and you must not have any disputes or conflicts with her. Do you understand?"

Gu Yuan looked at Gu Xun'er and said seriously.

When he took a look at it before, he almost popped his eyes out. If his Qi cultivation skills were not strong enough, he might have failed on the spot.

What kind of talent is this, or are people passed down from ancient times just so awesome?

You are only twelve or thirteen years old, and you are a six-star Dou Zun. Those ancient families are not as powerful as you after activating their bloodlines, right?

Zhu Zhuqing's speed of improvement made him doubt whether she could improve her cultivation to the level of a Fighting Saint or even a Nine-Star Fighting Saint in a short period of time.

So I must make friends with Zhu Zhuqing no matter what.

Zhu Zhuqing has no family or relatives now, so it is the best time to win her over.

As long as it is handled properly, it will not be a big problem for his ancient clan to add another invincible strong man.

"Ah, don't worry, father. Sister Zhuqing and I have always had a good relationship."

Just when Gu Xun'er and Gu Yuan finished their business and started chatting about family matters, Zhu Zhuqing flashed to the ruins of the Xiao family.
