Yin Yang Xuanxin Pei

"Now, he is determined to leave this cage. The only thing he cannot bear is the little girl in front of him.

"Host, when you belittle yourself, you belittle yourself. If you do not leave this ancient world, you will never be able to grow peacefully, and you will never attain true freedom. As for Gu Xun'er, as you grow stronger, there will naturally come a time for separation."

The system's voice echoes, reinforcing Gu Xiao's resolve to depart.

"I wish you had said this. Of course, I know you hesitate to speak. If it weren't for your kindness, would I have been brought to the ancient world by Gu Yuan? Would there be the issues we face now?"

Gu Xiao shakes his head and speaks within his mind.

"But if it weren't for this system, you might never have encountered Gu Xun'er as your host."

The system speaks softly.

"So, do you mean I should still express gratitude?" Gu Xiao asks with a slight jest.

"Yes, host, you should express gratitude to this system." The system responds seriously.

"Hehe!" Gu Xiao grins, diverting his thoughts from the conversation with the system and refocusing on Gu Xun'er.

As for the system, he feels too lazy to communicate with it. While the system is generally swift in its actions, its behavior can be rather vexing at times.

On the first day he was brought to this land, he experienced a strong sense of strangeness. This is one reason he believes the ancient world is more of a prison than a sanctuary.

The system's actions have given rise to an incredibly mysterious and significant origin for him, but they have also caused many problems and led to his current suffering.

"Gu Xiao, don't worry, Gu Xun'er's residual symptoms have completely healed, thanks to the piece of jade pendant you gave her. It has been very helpful."

Hearing Gu Xiao's question, Gu Xun'er smiles sweetly and takes out a piece of jade pendant from her hand. This jade pendant is shaped like a yin and yang fish, with a deep black body like ink and a small white dot on the fish's head. It has a unique appearance.

Light radiates from the jade pendant, emitting gentle and calming energy fluctuations.

Gu Xiao smiles as he sees this, then he places his palm into his embrace. A piece of jade pendant with a white body and a black dot appears in his hand, aligned with the black dot on Gu Xun'er's jade pendant. He gently squeezes it, and the two jade pendants merge seamlessly without any gaps.

"These two jade pendants are called the Yin Yang Xuanxin Pei. The one you have is the Yin Pei, and the one I have is the Yang Pei. If one of us is absent in the future, we can recognize each other by using these pendants."

Yin-Yang Xuanxin Pei is a high-level treasure that can strengthen the roots and enhance physical well-being. It was presented by the system as a beginner's gift.

Yin Pei possesses a very pure Yin attribute energy, which helps alleviate the residual symptoms caused by the integration of the Golden Emperor Burning Tianyan. Therefore, he gave the Yin Pei to Gu Xun'er. As expected, when Gu Xun'er used it, her symptoms fully recovered.

And now he has decided to go. This jade pendant will serve as a token of their connection and also as a keepsake. It reflects Gu Xun'er's thoughts. He knows that if he leaves, Gu Xun'er will undoubtedly feel sad. Keeping this jade pendant is a way to stay connected. It's just a small conversation between them.

"Will you be leaving in the future? Brother Gu Xiao, what do you mean? Don't scare Xun'er."

Hearing the unusual undertone in Gu Xiao's words, Gu Xun'er's heart trembles, sensing something ominous.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking. Don't think too much about it, Xun'er." Gu Xiao squeezes Gu Xun'er's small hand and smiles.

"Is that true?" Gu Xun'er asks skeptically.

"Of course." Gu Xiao nods firmly.

Gu Xun'er gazes at Gu Xiao, biting her red lips. A faint doubt lingers in her eyes, but she chooses to simply look at Gu Xiao and not ask further.

"Brother Gu Xiao must be hiding something in his heart, and he always feels like he'll leave Xun'er suddenly."

Gu Xun'er muses to herself, feeling a vague sense of unease and sadness.

...

In the grand conference hall of the ancient world, a group of people sit in their chairs. They are a group of elderly men with white hair and beards. Each breath they take is extraordinarily powerful, exuding an intimidating aura.

At the forefront, where the gazes of many elderly men converge, a middle-aged man sits indifferently. His breath is imperceptible, as if integrated with the surrounding world. Despite sitting there, he seems not to exist at all, creating a strong air of mystery.

The middle-aged man gazes at the many elderly men in front of him with indifference.

"Elder Gu Lan is right. The Emperor Tuo She's jade is too important and too dangerous to be placed in the Xiao family. It will undoubtedly be exploited by the Soul Clan. It's safer to take it and incorporate it into our ancient clan."

Another white-haired elder looks at the middle-aged man and speaks respectfully.

And the identity of this middle-aged man is instantly clear. He is the patriarch of the ancient clan and one of the strongest beings in the land. He's a pinnacle Saint Fighter at the Star Nine-Fighting Stage, Gu Yuan!

The other white-haired
