Looking at the young man who stood before Teacher Ruo Lin with an indifferent expression, everyone's faces were filled with shock!
The entire place was silent. Everyone widened their eyes and had faces filled with disbelief. They could not understand how Instructor Ruo Lin, who was a Da Dou Shi, was actually injured by a Dou Zhe.
The silence lasted for a few seconds before it was broken by a pitying voice. "Ah, Teacher Ruo Lin, are you alright?”Fang Yu rushed over and hugged Instructor Ruo Lin as he spoke with concern. After which, he said to Xiao Yan in a disappointed manner,"Xiao Yan, how can you treat a beautiful young lady like this? What if you injure her body?”
He turned his head and said solemnly," Teacher Ruo Lin, I'll treat you right away.”After saying that, he took something out of his clothes.
"Bastard!" Xiao Yu, who was originally shocked by Xiao Yan, reacted. When she saw that Fang Yu was preparing to do something, she immediately rushed in front of him and kicked him away. She furiously said,"Don't touch my mentor. If I see you again, I'll break your dog legs!”
"Yes, yes, yes. I won't dare to do it again. Heroine, please spare me!”Fang Yu said yes three times in a row and nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
Looking at the overbearing Xiao Yu and Fang Yu who did not even dare to let out a fart, Xiao Yan broke out in a cold sweat. He cried in his heart, As expected, once a woman got angry, she was even scarier than a boy.
Xiao Yu didn't have time to bother with Fang Yu and said worriedly,"Instructor Ruo Lin, are you alright?" "It's okay, Yu 'Er. Help me up first.”Instructor Ruo Ling said gently.
Hearing Teacher Ruo Lin's words, Xiao Yu hurriedly helped Teacher Ruo Lin up. Instructor Ruo Ling looked at Xiao Yan. She suppressed the shock in her heart and gently said,"Little guy, not bad. I was wrong.”
"I, I'm really sorry, Instructor Ruo Lin. If there is anything wrong with your body, please tell me. I will definitely do my best to think of a way."
"Ke ke, your attack is indeed very strong. However, I am a Da Dou Shi. If a Dou Zhe can seriously injure me, do you still want me to survive in the academy?”Instructor Ruo Ling rolled her eyes at Xiao Yan and said angrily when she heard this.
"Since you have met the conditions that I have requested, I will give you a year's leave. Ai…" Instructor Ruo Lin sighed and shook her head as she spoke somewhat helplessly. Clearly, although Xiao Yan had met the conditions, she was still somewhat unwilling to approve a year's leave.
"Hehe, thank you Teacher Ruo Lin for your help.”Xiao Yan sighed heavily in relief in his heart when he heard this. His face was filled with joy.
"Sigh, other people would love to spend more time in the academy, but you, a little freak, have to take such a long vacation. It's really a headache. After returning to the academy, I'll still have to work on your vacation for a while.”Seeing Xiao Yan's excited manner, Instructor Ruo Ling laughed bitterly.
Xiao Yan smiled awkwardly but maintained his silence. He did not wish to say much about such matters.
"Alright, let's end today's enrollment. For the remaining seven days, we will continue to enroll students in the city.”Seeing that Xiao Yan had no intention of explaining, Instructor Ruo Ling could only helplessly shake her head. She withdrew her long whip and softly spoke.
Xiao Yan nodded slightly. At this moment, the large rock in his heart was finally completely put down. The matter in Wu Tan City was more or less settled. He only needed to prepare for another two to three days before he could rest assured and follow Yao Lao out to train.
"Teacher, during this period of time in Wu Tan City, why don't you come to our Xiao family to live?”Xiao Yu hurriedly ran forward as she eyed Instructor Ruo Lin, who intended to turn around and leave. She pulled her arm and spoke with a lovely smile.
"Go to the Xiao family?"
Slightly stunned, Instructor Ruo Ling frowned and said hesitantly,""The Jia Nan Academy has a special reception area in Wu Tan City. Moreover, wouldn't it be a little disturbing to go to the Xiao clan?”
"Ke ke, it's fine. It is the fortune of our Xiao clan to be able to invite a teacher from the Jia Nan Academy. I think that if we know that Teacher Ruo Lin is willing to be a guest at the Xiao clan, the entire Xiao clan will be very happy.”Xiao Yan slowly walked forward and smiled as he spoke.
As a famous academy in the Dou Qi continent, the Jia Nan Academy possessed an extremely great influence within the Jia Ma Empire. In terms of strength, even the Primer Auction House was far inferior to it.
As a transcendent and powerful faction, the Jia Nan Academy would undoubtedly look down on these local factions in Wu Tan City. Under this kind of mentality, the recruitment teams over the years rarely had any dealings with the factions in Wu Tan City, let alone accept the invitations of those factions to directly stay in the local clans.
Moreover, under such circumstances, the various factions in the city were very self-aware. They knew the difference between the two. Could the weak expect the strong to be polite to them?
With this kind of thinking, the various factions in Wu Tan City did not act hot-headed and stick their warm faces to cold buttocks. Therefore, they maintained a respectful and distant attitude towards the Jia Nan Academy's student recruitment team. They did not dare to provoke them, nor did they dare to be thick-skinned and try to build a relationship with them, lest they end up being laughed at by others.
Having lived in Wu Tan City for over ten years, Xiao Yan was naturally clearly aware of just what kind of extraordinary faction the Jia Nan Academy's student recruitment team belonged to. If he was able to allow Instructor Ruo Lin to stay in the Xiao clan, the influence of the Xiao clan in Wu Tan City would once again rise steadily. It might even not be weaker than the Primer Auction House.
With Instructor Ruo Lin's special status, forget about staying in the Xiao Clan, as long as she casually showed some goodwill towards any small faction, it was likely that the next day, that unknown small faction would feel the feeling of having a bustling house.
Although saying this was a little exaggerated, Instructor Ruo Lin still held the lifeline of whether one could enter the Jia Nan Academy. To those who were anxious to send their children in, as long as there was any chance, they would not easily give it up.
Therefore, as long as Instructor Ruo Lin accepted Xiao Yan's invitation and moved into the Xiao clan, many factions in Wu Tan City would have some intention to curry favor with the Xiao clan. The profit from the healing medicine of the Xiao clan some time ago was too great. If Instructor Ruo Lin could show a good impression of the Xiao clan now, some of the drawbacks of the Xiao clan's excessive development some time ago would be perfectly resolved.
It was only a temporary stay for a couple of days, yet it was able to bring so many benefits to the Xiao clan. Hence, it was no wonder that Xiao Yan would spare no effort to recommend it.
Hearing Xiao Yan open his mouth, Instructor Ruo Ling pursed her small red lips. With her experience, she was naturally aware of her identity and the kind of influence she had in Wu Tan City. Logically speaking, the instructors who recruited students in the past would usually not pay attention to these factions in the city.
However, the fact that Xiao Yan had personally opened his mouth caused Instructor Ruo Ling to be unable to say any words of rejection. She would not randomly ignore the words of this student who could be said to have the most demonic potential within the Jia Nan Academy within the past hundred years. Otherwise, if this little fellow were to lose his temper and flee, it would be difficult for her to find such an outstanding student.
Teacher Ruo Ling frowned and pondered for a moment. She nodded and said with a smile,"Alright, then I will disturb the Xiao clan for a few days.”
Seeing Instructor Ruo Lin nod her head in agreement, Xiao Yu immediately raised a smile and hugged the former's soft waist.
"Luo Bu, you and Ge La should return to the reception area first. Come back tomorrow. Remember, don't cause trouble for me!”Patting Xiao Yu's head lovingly, Instructor Ruo Lin tilted her head and instructed Luo Bu and the others in the tent.
"Yes."
"Please wait a moment, Teacher Ruo Lin." The voice behind her caused Teacher Ruo Ling to pause in her steps. She turned around and smiled gently at Fang Yu."What's the matter, Student Fang Yu?”
"I'm afraid I'll have to take a leave of absence for a period of time.”Fang Yu hesitated for a moment and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was shocked again.

Xiao Zhan and the three Elders, who were discussing matters in the meeting hall, were immediately stunned when they heard the news that the Jia Nan Academy's student recruitment instructor had arrived at the Xiao clan. A moment later, they stood up with faces full of pleasant surprise. They exchanged glances with each other and hurriedly left the hall. They rushed to the main entrance of the clan and led the group of pretty ladies at the entrance into the clan with smiles on their faces.
Under Xiao Yan's introduction, both parties finally got to know each other. After learning the purpose of Instructor Ruo Lin and the others coming here, Xiao Zhan agreed without hesitation and immediately sent people to the backyard to prepare empty rooms. This kind of clean and straightforward action also won a good impression from Instructor Ruo Lin and the others.
The clan suddenly had an additional group of pretty Jia Nan Academy top students. The atmosphere within the clan immediately became much livelier. Quite a number of young clan members crowded over. Their gazes repeatedly swept over the group of pretty female students. Moreover, they threw envious gazes at Xiao Yan, who was surrounded in the middle by all the females and was repeatedly asking this and that.
Night gradually descended. As the host, the Xiao clan naturally brought out the highest level of treatment. After dinner, Xiao Yan, who had been tired for the entire day, found an excuse to quietly sneak back to his room after seeing that both parties were quite enthusiastic in their conversation. After which, his entire body fell weakly on the soft bed. Today's battle with Instructor Ruo Lin had made Xiao Yan realize that he was still far from the strong people on the continent. In the end, he was able to injure Instructor Ruo Lin. It was also caused by Instructor Ruo Lin's unfamiliarity with her own ability.
The morning sun shone through the window, illuminating the room. On the bed, the young man sat up with sleepy eyes. After a moment of shock, he yawned and climbed out of bed to wash up.
Xiao Yan's current appearance was becoming more and more handsome. It was also becoming more and more similar to his previous life. His facial features were originally exquisite and handsome. After inheriting Peng Geli's excellent bloodline, his body had become much stronger and his height had also become much taller. That flawless and warm smile of his caused people's impression of him to increase by many points.
"Teacher, when are we leaving?”Xiao Yan asked after wiping the water off his face.
"When you go out later, prepare some things. Freshwater, dry rations, tents, insect repellent, low-grade medicinal herbs, and some healing and qi recovery pills. These are all essential things in cultivation. You have to prepare everything. After all, we might spend a long time in the mountains.”The illusionary Yao Lao suddenly appeared on a chair beside the table and spoke in a faint voice.
"Hehe, I'm looking forward to it." Xiao Yan smiled as he swiftly put on his clothes.
Eyeing Xiao Yan's eager manner, Yao Lao raised his eyebrows and softly said,"From the moment you were born until now, you have experienced a life and death battle. A person's potential will only erupt like a volcano when their life is threatened.”
"You don't lack talent in cultivation. What you lack is the experience of iron and blood!”Casually playing with the teacup in his hand, Yao Lao glanced at Xiao Yan, who was wearing clothes at a slower pace, and said indifferently,"Only by successfully going through the tempering of blood will you truly undergo transformation. For example, during your battle with Jia Lie Bi, not only did you awaken the Death Qi Flame that you never had before, you even possessed the strength to kill a Da Dou Shi. You should understand this.”
Xiao Yan slowly clenched his fist. He smiled and raised his face to Yao Lao,"I believe I can pass."
"It's good that you have confidence." Yao Lao smiled and nodded. He was also very satisfied with Xiao Yan's confidence.
Seeing Yao Lao's manner, Xiao Yan smiled slightly and did not say any more nonsense. He kept everything into his bosom, opened the door and walked out.
At this moment, Instructor Ruo Lin and the others had already rushed to the square from yesterday to carry out today's enrollment. Therefore, the clan had once again become much emptier.
After randomly turning a few small paths, Xiao Yan swaggered out of the clan's main entrance. As he eyed the scene outside the door, he was suddenly startled.
He saw that the spacious tunnel outside the main door was currently crowded with carriages. Quite a number of badges were printed on those gorgeous carriages. From the looks of these badges, Xiao Yan was able to recognize that most of them were from some of the factions in Wu Tan City that were quite strong.
"Ai, the news of these fellows is really fast…" Xiao Yan shook his head in amazement. He once again experienced just what kind of great influence the Jia Nan Academy's student recruitment instructors possessed to Wu Tan City.
Xiao Yan's gaze curiously drifted over before withdrawing it. He ignored these people and left.
Walking on the street that had become extremely lively because of the Jia Nan Academy's enrollment, Xiao Yan slowly walked toward the auction house in the middle of the city. When he was about to reach his destination, he patiently put on a large black cloak. Only then did he feel at ease and walk into the auction house that was even more popular than usual.
…………………………………………
Auction, waiting room.
Ya Fei elegantly sat on the chair, her right leg resting on her left leg. The bottom of her long qipao revealed a tempting snow-white part.
At this moment, Ya Fei's jade-like hand was holding a long roll of paper. It was a long while later before she finished reading the materials on it. Surprise surfaced on her charming face. She raised her head and looked at the black-robed person beside her. She said in surprise,"Xiao Yan di-di, how did you get so many resources needed for the wilderness? Are you planning to go on a long journey?"
"Yes, I will be leaving Wu Tan City in the next few days. Perhaps…I will only be back in one or two years.”Xiao Yan laughed softly.
"One or two years?"
Hearing this, Ya Fei was once again startled and said in shock,"Why is it taking so long? What are you going to do?"
"Ke ke, I am now an adult. Therefore, I want to go out and train. It is not my wish to be trapped in this small Wu Tan City…"
"Sigh, with your cultivation talent, it is indeed difficult for you to become a true expert if you stay in Wu Tan City.”Ya Fei nodded her head and softly said.
"That mysterious alchemist will also leave with you, right?”After a moment of silence, Ya Fei asked.
"Yes, he is my teacher."
"No wonder…" Ya Fei nodded her head in sudden understanding."Then you…should also be considered an alchemist, right?”
"I refined the Xiao family's healing medicine myself.”Xiao Yan did not hide anything this time around as he smiled and replied.
"Ke ke, uncle Gu Ni had already seen some clues from the refinement of the Blood Clotting Powder. However, he did not know about your relationship with that alchemist, so he did not guess that it was you.”Ya Fei merely nodded calmly in the face of Xiao Yan's words. She did not reveal too much surprise. Clearly, she had already guessed some things beforehand.
"Please help me prepare the supplies. Deduct the money you need from the card. Don't refuse. I don't want to owe you any more favors before I leave.”Xiao Yan took out a pale gold card from his bosom and handed it to Ya Fei. There were more than four hundred thousand gold coins in the card, all of which were the profits from the sale of the healing medicine with the Xiao clan.
"Alright then."
Ya Fei nodded her head somewhat helplessly. She could only take the card and wave her hand to call over a female servant. She handed the card and paper to her and instructed her to quickly go and handle it.
"After I leave, I hope that the Primer Auction House can take care of the Xiao clan. If Ya Fei jie-jie needs help in the future, Xiao Yan will not delay it.”Xiao Yan raised his head and looked at this charming woman who could be called a stunner. He smiled and asked.
"Ke ke, since you have already called Ya Fei jie, how can I refuse? Moreover, an alchemist with unlimited potential, even if I have to accompany my sister, I can only do my best to please him.”Xiao Yan's greeting was a little more sincere than before, causing Ya Fei's long and narrow pretty eyes to curve into a mesmerizing happy arc. Her jade-like hand supported her cheek as her eyes stared at the young man's delicate and pretty face, where a corner of his black robe was revealed. Her long eyelashes trembled as she gently blinked. A faint enchanting temptation surfaced on that enchanting mature pretty face.
The alluring numbing voice caused Xiao Yan's heart to tremble. Immediately, he smiled bitterly and shook his head. This woman was simply a natural beauty that was specially designed to seduce men. If it was a place with no one around or a man with a slightly weaker mental strength, it was likely that he would have long been unable to endure the desire in his heart and forcefully press her to the ground to do it…”
The somewhat hurried breathing under the black robe caused Ya Fei's red lips to lift into a proud smile. She liked to make this overly calm young man reveal the shyness and inexperience that his age should have in front of her.
"Xiao Yan di-di, I look forward to what level you will reach when you return to Wu Tan City!”The charming smile on her face suddenly disappeared as Ya Fei softly said.
"I'm looking forward to it too."
Xiao Yan smiled slightly. He raised his head and eyed the female servant who was swiftly walking over from outside the curtain. He slowly sat up, waved his hand, and said with a smile,"I'm leaving. I'm afraid this is the last time I'll be here before I bid farewell.”
Ya Fei stood up and stood in front of Xiao Yan in a pretty manner. She looked at this young man whom she had interacted with for one to two years. Although the relationship between the two of them was mostly calculated by cooperation, Ya Fei's heart always had some special fondness for this indifferent young man who was a few years younger than her. This was not the feeling between a man and a woman. Instead, it was more like a feeling between a brother and sister.
Extending her hand, Ya Fei gently patted Xiao Yan's shoulder. There was some sadness in her intelligent eyes,"Take care!"
"Ya Fei jie, take care! See you in a year!"
Xiao Yan laughed softly and walked to the side of the female servant at the entrance. Smiling, he took the pale-gold card and two small storage rings from the silver plate. He softly said a word of thanks before walking out of the auction house without turning his head back.
Eyeing the back that gradually disappeared around the corner, Ya Fei smiled faintly and said,"To be honest, I'm really looking forward to your return. I don't want to lose such a good partner. Moreover, I'm also very curious.”
