Moreover, the current Xun'er was still a playful child.
There was still a long way to go before she grew into the Clan Chief of the Ancient Race, and Xiao Xue naturally wouldn't interfere.
In fact, Xiao Xue was also very curious.
In the original work, there was no scene at this time where Xun'er invited Xiao Yan to the Ancient Race.
Could it be that it was because Xiao Yan at that time had not gained Gu Yuan's approval?
And now that Gu Yuan had acknowledged her potential, that was why Xun'er was extending the invitation?
However, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to go to the Ancient World for the time being.
"It's not that I don't want to go, but have you thought about what would happen to the Xiao Family if I went to the Ancient World?"
Xiao Xue did not directly refuse; after all, the real reason was hard to say out loud.
She couldn't very well say, "I can foresee the future, and if I go to the Ancient World, it would be a loss," could she?
Therefore, she had to find another reason to politely decline Xun'er.
Hearing Xiao Xue's words, Xun'er fell silent for a moment.
After a long while, Xun'er said, "That's true, Sister Xue'er, it was Xun'er who was inconsiderate."
"Moreover, Sister Xue'er probably wouldn't be able to access core Legacies like the Ancient Emperor Pool within the clan."
"In the Ancient World, Sister Xue'er would only be able to obtain a place to Cultivate that could increase her cultivation speed, as well as an unlimited supply of Medicinal Pills and medicinal herbs."
"Only," "unlimited."
Hearing this humble-bragging language from Xun'er, Xiao Xue couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.
She had reason to suspect that Xun'er was deliberately making these statements to provoke her into going to the Ancient World.
I am afraid that no Alchemist could refuse the condition of "unlimited medicinal herbs."
For the Ancient Race, medicinal herbs for refining seventh-grade pills were certainly rare.
But if it was just an unlimited supply to provide for one or two people, it was completely fine.
Without a certain amount of practice, don't expect your alchemy skills to improve; they might even regress over time.
Xiao Xue currently wanted to raise her alchemy skills to the Peak of the seventh grade, or even further, and she didn't know how much practice that would require.
Not to mention anything else, she couldn't even gather enough medicinal herbs just to practice with.
Currently, she only had enough medicinal herbs to refine seventh-grade pills for two attempts.
Wanting to reach the level of an Alchemist Grandmaster after refining seventh-grade pills only two or three times? Was she dreaming?
With the "unlimited medicinal herbs" provided by the Ancient Race, her alchemy skills would inevitably improve rapidly.
Damn it, she was actually feeling shamefully tempted.
Rich woman, I'm hungry, feed me.
[I think a side story could be started where the Protagonist is tricked by Xun'er into the Ancient World for "X-Cultivation," and Medusa chases her wife across ten thousand miles. What do you all think? (whispering)]
However, compared to the many Opportunities that would be encountered by following the main storyline, the "unlimited medicinal herbs" provided by the Ancient World were not that attractive.
Therefore, Xun'er's provocation did not succeed, and Xiao Xue did not give the response she was expecting.
"Xun'er, after you return to the Ancient Race, Cultivate well. I will wait for the day you reach the Dou Sheng level."
"Perhaps in a few years, I will come to the Ancient World to find you."
Xiao Xue was simply saying "Cultivate well," similar to saying "Study hard, I'll wait for you to get into Tsinghua or Peking University."
Going to the Ancient World in a few years would also just be to enter the Heavenly Tomb to inherit the Legacy.
However, to Xun'er's ears, this sentence took on a different meaning.
After all, after breaking through to the Dou Sheng level, the influence of that thing on the Bloodline could be ignored!
Moreover, those who wanted to marry into the Xiao Family could line up from Gama Emperor City all the way to Wutan City.
But for so many years, Xiao Xue had never had any thoughts in that direction.
First, the talent and such of these people were truly not up to par, and Sister Xue'er naturally couldn't look down upon them.
Secondly, it was likely that Sister Xue'er might not be that straight...
After all, how many people wanted to join the Ancient World but had no way to do so?
For Xiao Xue, the current Ancient World was definitely a good place to be, far better than places like Jia Nan Academy.
But she was indeed a bit impatient now.
Currently, she had some say within the Ancient Race, but not much.
Those old fogeys gave her Face only because she was the Clan Chief's daughter.
If she brought Xiao Xue back to the Ancient World now, and their relationship progressed in the future, it would be inevitable that people would gossip.
Public opinion is a powerful force; "The Young Clan Leader of the Ancient Race, for the sake of her own peculiar tastes, forcibly poured resources to help her improve and even brought her into the Ancient World..."
If something like that were to spread, it would certainly be detrimental to her future management of the Ancient Race.
Although Sister Xue'er's strength was gained through her own cultivation, once she was brought into the Ancient World now, who would believe a seventeen-year-old Dou Wang without a Dou Di Bloodline who claimed she hadn't received any resource support?
This would be detrimental to her control over the Ancient Race and would also bring negative effects to Sister Xue'er.
But once she mastered the Ancient Race, had a higher say, and Sister Xue'er had sufficient strength, everything would naturally fall into place.
Xun'er felt that Xiao Xue already knew her intentions and had even made a promise: — "Cultivate well, and when you reach the Dou Sheng level, I will come to marry you."
Xun'er instantly revived at full health, full of motivation.
"Okay, Sister Xue'er, Xun'er will wait for you in the Ancient World."
