The ancient clan actually spent a lot of thought on the piece of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade in the hands of the Xiao family.

After all, the soul of Xiao Xuan, the ancestor of the Xiao family, still exists in the celestial tomb. Gu Yuan is concerned about the relationship between him and Xiao Xuan and will not break up with the Xiao family.

But the other elders in the ancient tribe may not.

It was precisely because of this that Gu Yuan sent Xun'er to the Xiao family to get the jade.

Firstly, it was to let Xiao Xun'er have a happy childhood, and secondly, it was to shut the mouths of the old guys in the family.

Xun'er herself is also clear about her father's thoughts.

But as a daughter, she cannot let her father bear too much pressure from the clan.

Even if you are a clan leader, you cannot decide everything by yourself.

Especially for a large clan like the Ancient Clan, the forces within the clan are often intertwined, making detailed calculations very troublesome.

The reason why Gu Yuan was able to become the clan leader was because he was strong and outstanding. He was able to balance forces in all aspects to maintain the stability of the clan.

But on another level, there are actually not a few people who have such ability.

It's just that he is slightly weaker than him, but with the size of the Ancient Clan, strength itself is not the most important thing.

It is necessary to maintain the stability of the ethnic group.

Gu Yuan has been the patriarch of the ancient clan for so many years and his status has stabilized, so he has the courage to make his own decisions on matters like the Ancient Emperor Jade.

But just because Gu Yuan has this ability, it doesn't mean that Gu Xun'er also has it.

Even if it was for the sake of her father and to avoid being criticized among the tribe, Xun'er had to complete this plan.

As long as she takes the jade back, no matter how long it takes, those old guys won't say anything.

But if she couldn't take it back... Although those old guys didn't dare to accuse Gu Yuan openly, they would say unpleasant things behind his back.

So, she has to work harder.

When Xun'er found Xiao Ding, Xiao Ding was talking to Ya Fei.

There has been nothing major to do at the Miter Auction House recently. Wutan City has a high level of autonomy, not to mention that most of the things fall on the Xiao family. For Yafei, she is naturally happy to have some leisure time.

What's more, staying by Xiao Ding's side is inherently a happy thing.

A girl of twelve or thirteen years old was just beginning to have feelings of love, and the appearance of Xiao Ding made Yafei feel that her whole world had brightened up.

During the recent period, she came to Xiao Ding on time every day as if she was working in the Xiao family.

Although Xiao Ding didn't bother her, it still delayed the business after many times.

"Can you stop looking at me like that? It makes me feel bad."

"Don't pay attention to me and handle things well. I'll just watch you here for a while, and then I'll leave."

Yafei supported her head with her arms and looked at Xiao Ding with her big watery eyes.

Xiao Ding was helpless.

Although Yafei said she would leave after seeing him for a while, in Yafei's definition, the duration of the word "a while" was from the time Yafei came in the morning until she left after dark.

If Bai Yao is interested, then Ya Fei will stay here for dinner.

"By the way, have things at the auction house been taken care of? Why are you so idle lately?"

"Uncle Gu Ni handles the affairs of the auction house, not to mention it is open every day. I brought the stewards from home, so they can naturally handle this matter well. Otherwise, why would I support them?"

For Yafei, she doesn't need to worry about matters at the auction house at all.

Although she is capable and should indeed be responsible for things there, even Hai Lao said that she can just ignore the auction house and concentrate on doing what she wants to do.

"But, I see you are bored sitting here, so why not come over and help me with this."

Xiao Ding waved his hand, pointed to the large pile of official documents in front of him, and told Ya Fei.

Anyway, most of these things are related to the Mittel family, so there is no need to hide these things from Ya Fei.

Let Yafei help handle it, and it will save you trouble.

As for leaks...

Xiao Ding didn't consider this at all.

The matter between Ya Fei and him has basically been decided by grandpa. Whether grandpa is thinking about him or simply wants to win over the Mittel family,

There is no possibility of turning this matter around.

What's more, Yafei is indeed a good girl. Although Xiao Ding does not want to focus on the love between his children at this stage,

But if necessary, he can certainly be kind to Ya Fei.

After all, practice makes perfect, and it wasn't the first time he had done it.

The two people were sorting out official documents in the house, and suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Brother Xiao Ding, are you busy?"

Xun'er appeared at the door with a smile, glanced at the official documents on the table without leaving any trace, and then looked in this direction towards Ya Fei.

"My sister-in-law is here too, it seems I've disturbed her."

"Sister Xun'er, what did you say?"

Yafei's face turned red visibly. Although she had developed the ability to remain calm in the auction house for many years, it also depended on the occasion.

Xun'er is a very smart person. Although the Xiao family did not explain the relationship between Xiao Ding and Ya Fei, judging from the number of times Ya Fei went in and out of the Xiao family and her usual behavior, she could naturally guess Ya Fei's true identity.

What is the purpose of .

And Xun'er can naturally understand this kind of thing.

She is not a child who doesn't understand anything. She usually plays with children to maintain her innocence and to look more like a child.

But if you really treat her as a child, then no matter who you are, you are a little too naive.

It is for this reason that Xiao Ding never treats Xun'er as an ordinary child.

When he faced Xun'er, he treated the other person as an adult who could communicate with him just as he did with Xiao Yan.

It's just that when he was with Xiao Yan, he didn't speak defensively, but when Xun'er stood opposite him, he had to be much more cautious when speaking.

"Why does my sister suddenly have time to come here?"

"Brother Xiao Yan didn't know where he went. I was bored by myself, so I just walked around. I happened to come here. I thought I hadn't seen my brother for a while, so I came in to take a look."

Xun'er looked at Xiao Ding's expression and became even more certain that Xiao Ding might know the existence of the Ancient Emperor Jade.

After all, no matter in terms of age, ability to handle family affairs, or other aspects, Xiao Ding is the best candidate to become the next clan leader.
