In the next few days, Xiao Yan had fun outside. He went to many places, like auctions, Alchemist Guild, etc. What made Xiao Yan regretful was that he did not meet the characters in the original novel when he went to the Alchemist Association. Xiao Yan returned to the Outer Academy after he was done playing outside.
This time around, no one came to stop Xiao Yan after he entered the Academy from Peace Town. He had just entered the main entrance of the Academy when he saw Hu Jia sitting at the entrance in a daze. Her mouth was still muttering,"Damn Xiao Yan, smelly Xiao Yan, why didn't you bring me along when you went out to play? However, why wasn't he back yet? The preliminaries had already ended.”
Xiao Yan decided to tease Hu Jia when he heard her muttering to herself. Hence, Xiao Yan quietly came behind Hu Jia and used his hand to cover her eyes. He changed his voice and said in a wretched manner,"Little beauty, wait for your lover here. Why don't we go and have some fun first?”
Hu Jia was startled when Xiao Yan covered her eyes. Hearing Xiao Yan's wretched words, he became even more afraid. Without hesitation, he circulated his Dou Qi, turned around, and attacked Xiao Yan. He said angrily,"You filthy hooligan, I'll kill you."”
"Bang!"
Xiao Yan was sent flying and landed heavily on the ground. Xiao Yan also did not expect Hu Jia to fight just like that. However, with Xiao Yan's Dou Zong strength, how could he be struck by Hu Jia, who had not even reached the Dou Shi class? However, Xiao Yan did not dodge and firmly received Hu Jia's full strength attack. Of course, it was impossible for Xiao Yan to be injured by Hu Jia. However, Xiao Yan borrowed the force from Hu Jia's attack and fell backwards. After which, he spat out a little blood from his mouth.
Xiao Yan pretended to be injured. He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and weakly said,"Younger Sister Hu Jia, I didn't expect you to be so ruthless. Do you want to murder your husband?"
Only now did Hu Jia see that the person behind her was Xiao Yan. Seeing that Xiao Yan had been injured because of her and had even reprimanded her, Hu Jia's face was so panicked that tears flowed out. She ran to Xiao Yan's side helplessly and said,"Xiao Yan ge-ge, I didn't do it on purpose. I didn't know that the person behind me was you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have attacked. Xiao Yan ge-ge, are you alright? I really didn't do it on purpose.”
Xiao Yan did not dare to continue teasing Hu Jia when he saw that her tears had come out. He could only follow the slope and say,"I'm fine. It's just a small injury. You don't have to worry. I'll be fine in two days.”
Xiao Yan finished speaking and was about to stand up. Hu Jia hurriedly supported Xiao Yan. She really thought that Xiao Yan was injured. "Are you really alright?" she asked worriedly. You're already vomiting blood. Let's go and look for Grandpa.”
Xiao Yan hurriedly said when he heard that Hu Jia was going to look for Hu Gan,"Younger Sister Hu Jia, I'm really fine. I am an alchemist myself. Do you think I don't know my injuries?”
Although he said this, Xiao Yan thought in his heart,"If I really went to look for Hu Gan, wouldn't I be exposed? At that time, I didn't know how you would treat me.”
Hu Jia did not insist on looking for Hu Gan when she saw that what Xiao Yan said was reasonable. He carefully supported Xiao Yan as they walked home. As he walked, he scolded,"Xiao Yan ge-ge, you're really something. You're already so old, yet you're still acting like a child and covering my eyes. You deserve to be injured. Let's see if you still dare to scare me in the future.”
Xiao Yan felt depressed in his heart. What did he mean by 'like a child'? However, it was not appropriate for Xiao Yan to refute Hu Jia's words. He could only be depressed for a moment.
Returning to the room, Hu Jia insisted that Xiao Yan lie down on the bed to rest. There was hatred in Xiao Yan's heart. It was all his fault for reaping what he sowed. Why did he have to tease Hu Jia for no reason? Now it was all good. It was simply torture for a vigorous young man like him to lie on the bed. Xiao Yan had already repeatedly said that he was fine but Hu Jia did not listen and insisted that Xiao Yan lie on the bed. Xiao Yan could not say that he was lying to her and could only unwillingly lie down.
Xiao Yan lay on the bed with Hu Jia attentively serving him by the side. This could be considered as a little comfort for Xiao Yan. Seeing that Hu Jia seemed to have forgotten that he had left without saying goodbye, Xiao Yan was relieved. He was really afraid that he would not know how to explain when Hu Jia asked. Xiao Yan spat out the grape seed that Hu Jia fed him and asked,"Hu Jia, has the qualifiers ended yet?”
Hu Jia fed Xiao Yan another grape and said,"The preliminaries have ended, and the top fifty have been chosen. Sister Han Yue was ranked 13th. Some of the top 50 were currently recuperating. After his injuries recovered, he went to the Dou Technique Pavilion to choose a Dou Technique. After that, he went to the inner court.”
"Really, that's great. Finally, he didn't have to watch that boring game anymore.”Xiao Yan happily said.
"You only know how to slack off. By the way, tell me, why did you run out alone and not bring me along? Is there something shameful? I went to ask Grandpa, but Grandpa said he didn't know either. He only knew what you were going out to do. Tell me, what shameful things do you have to do to get rid of me? If you don't tell me, I'll teach you a lesson.”Hu Jia suddenly remembered that Xiao Yan had left without saying goodbye. She extended a small hand to Xiao Yan's waist and ruthlessly grabbed the soft flesh on his waist, making a one hundred and eighty degree turn as she threatened.
"Hiss…" Xiao Yan inhaled a breath of cool air in pain."Grandaunt, let go of me first. I'm still injured.”
When Hu Jia saw Xiao Yan's pain until tears were flowing out, she loosened the small hand that was placed on Xiao Yan's waist. "Hmph, let's see if you still dare to leave me behind. Tell me, what did you do when you went out?"”
Xiao Yan rubbed his waist that had been teased and said with an embarrassed face,"Little Sister Hu Jia, it's actually nothing much. You see, you've already punished me, so forget it. I promise I won't leave without saying goodbye next time. Please forgive me.”
"Hmph, seeing that your attitude is not bad this time, I'll let you off this time, but it won't happen again.”Hu Jia spoke in a serious manner like an adult.
Xiao Yan sighed in his heart when he saw Hu Jia spare him. He thought,"I've passed this time. It seems that I can't take her away when I return to the Inner Academy. Otherwise, I won't have a good life. If she followed him back to the inner court, just thinking about it would be terrifying.”
When Xiao Yan thought of the days when Hu Jia followed him back to the Inner Academy, he felt embarrassed. Ever since he had revealed his relationship with Hu Jia, Hu Jia had revealed her true colors. In the past, Xiao Yan had thought that Hu Jia's character had changed. However, Xiao Yan later discovered that other than her current character, which was not that of a lily, Hu Jia's other character was completely that of a little demoness. The little demoness had experimented with all sorts of pranks on Xiao Yan, tormenting him to the point where he was unable to endure.
The thing that Xiao Yan could not endure the most was that Hu Jia, this little demoness, had grasped Xiao Yan's weakness. Every time she tempted Xiao Yan, she would leave Xiao Yan behind and not care about him. Or when Hu Jia gave Xiao Yan a lollipop, she would run away halfway through the lollipop. Every time, Xiao Yan would be left alone with no tears.
Xiao Yan later decided to control himself and no longer be tempted by Hu Jia. However, Little Xiao Yan did not live up to expectations. Every time Hu Jia tried to lure Xiao Yan, Little Xiao Yan's performance would be extremely excited. Hu Jia had also relied on this to let Xiao Yan sign many unfair agreements that humiliated the country, making Xiao Yan extremely afraid of Hu Jia.
