After Xiao Yan suffered the blow from Ye Kan, his original plan of returning home to report the good news before going to the academy was gone. He did not return home either. After recovering from his injuries, he ran off to some unknown place to train.
Ye Kan's evaluation of Xiao Yan was unexpectedly low."Courage is praiseworthy, but intelligence is pathetic.”
The grudge between the Misty Cloud Sect and Xiao Yan was likely over just like this. After all, in the original novel, it was the First Elder of the Misty Cloud Sect, Yun Ling, who acted alone and caused the two sides to become enemies. This time around, Xiao Xing Meng had saved Mo Cheng and did not give Yun Ling the chance to be the referee. Yun Ling basically had no reason to hate Xiao Yan. Well, it was only natural for the entire Misty Cloud Sect to hate Xiao Yan. This little fellow was not an ordinary arrogant person.
They did not know that the Misty Cloud Sect's Sect Leader Yun Yun and Young Sect Leader Nalan Yanran were somewhat infatuated with Xiao Yan. It was likely that if the people of the Misty Cloud Sect were to find out, the entire Misty Cloud Sect would use the name of the FFF group to get rid of Xiao Yan…
Yun Yun, Nalan Yanran, and Xiao Yan originally did not have any results. The only Medusa who had 'made a mistake' should have already recovered her mind after recuperating in the Snake-People Tribe. The Little Fairy Doctor was under Xiao Xing Meng and was not familiar with Xiao Yan. Qing Lin was at the Sky Serpent Mansion. Ya Fei was now infatuated with Ye Kan.
For Xiao Xingmeng, it could be said that the show was over, and the things that needed to be dealt with were almost done. It was time to go to Jia Nan Academy to visit Xiao Mei and beat up the children. Speaking of which, the date of his leave had passed a long time ago. That teacher wouldn't punish him to repeat a year, right?
In the end, Xiao Xing Meng still left Ye Kan in the Central Plains. He would bring him away when he went to the Central Plains in the future. In any case, Ye Kan was currently a popular person. By defeating Xiao Yan, he would immediately be roped in by the various large factions. However, Primer had already made the first move. Of course, because Xiao Yan still had the identity of a genius alchemist, the large factions in the empire also valued Xiao Yan.
Before they left, Xiao Xingmeng and Ah Zi had repeatedly advised Ye Kan to treat Ya Fei better. When they spoke of Ye Kan, they almost used their fists before they left. The three of them headed towards the 'Black-Corner Region'.
……………
The 'Black-Corner Region' was located at the center of the three great empires. It was a special region that had been built outside the Jia Nan Academy. Although many people on the continent felt puzzled as to why there was such a chaotic region that was incompatible with the atmosphere of the academy outside of this ancient and long academy, existence was the truth no matter what. Although it had been suppressed for so many years, the 'Black-Corner Region' was still expanding at a speed that caused one to be stunned. The unkillable nature of the cockroach that it displayed also made those forces that wanted to suppress this region feel powerless.
The size of the 'Black-Corner Region' was extremely vast. Moreover, after these few years of expansion, it had basically become a small country with clear boundaries. However, the only difference between it and the other empires was that other empires had their highest leaders. This region, however, fought for its own people. All sorts of factions continuously fought and killed for their own benefits. It was so chaotic that it was like a plate of loose sand. However, it was also because of this that the 'Black-Corner Region' was able to become even stronger in the middle of the continent. Otherwise, no faction would sit back and watch this special territory with shocking destructive power grow rapidly, and then pose a threat to them.
Although the chaos within the 'Black-Corner Region' was famous across the continent, the various high class Qi Methods, Dou Techniques, medicinal pills, and other strange items that flowed through this place had attracted many experts from the continent. After all, no matter what, these few things were things that even they coveted. Being able to obtain a Qi Method that was of a higher class than the one that they practiced would allow them to take another step forward on the path of becoming an expert. This kind of temptation was fatal to those experts.
Hence, the 'Black-Corner Region' was just like a dark bottomless pit. Countless number of unique treasures flowed into this place through various channels. After which, they would be auctioned off at sky-high prices, causing a countless number of people to fight over them.
As for Jia Nan Academy, it was located in the middle of this chaotic region. There was no distinction between races in the admission of students. Countless people were proud of being able to enter this ancient academy. Unfortunately, the academy's harsh admission conditions made many people feel powerless.
At the peak of the back mountain of the Jia Nan Academy, a young lady dressed in a light green dress stood elegantly. A purple belt was gently tied around her small waist, outlining her waist until it was extremely alluring. This refined and unique young lady was naturally Xun Er.
"Ding!"
A shadow at a certain spot behind Xun Er suddenly wiggled following the soft ringing of the bell. Immediately, an old figure appeared. He respectfully bowed to the young lady and smiled,"Miss."
"Old Ling, you're finally back." She slowly turned around and smiled with her elegant and refined face, causing the flowers to lose their color.
"Haha, I have no choice. Since Young Lady has given me that mission, if I run back before I complete it, wouldn't I be blamed to death by Young Lady?”Ling Ying raised his head.
The young girl pursed her lips and smiled. She thought of the young man who had made her worry, and her cold voice slowly became much gentler. She glanced at Ling Ying. Immediately, a bashful redness that would cause the entire Jia Nan Academy to go crazy surfaced on her face. She softly said,"Old Ling, how is he?"
"Young Lady is referring to Young Master Xiao Yan, right?" Ling Ying replied despite knowing the answer. He involuntarily laughed out loud when he saw that the young lady's face had become a little denser and redder. It seemed that only the little fellow called Xiao Yan had such a fortune and magic to be able to cause the elegant lotus like young lady to change from a refined temperament to that of a normal girl. (It's the protagonist's halo.)
"When I left, young master Xiao Yan did not have any problems. However, his three year agreement with Nalan Yanran unexpectedly ended in a draw. Nalan Yanran's strength was stronger than expected.”Ling Ying hesitated for a moment before speaking of the soul-stirring battle at the Misty Cloud Sect. Xun Er's eyebrows involuntarily jumped when she heard that Xiao Yan had almost died together with Nalan Yanran.
"However, young master Xiao Yan was defeated by someone of unknown origin when he was still in his prime. Moreover, that person was two levels lower than Young Master Xiao Yan.”Ling Ying added.
Hearing this news, Xun Er's brows were tightly knit together. Her eyes were mixed with worry and anger. In her heart, she would not allow anyone to hurt her Xiao Yan ge-ge.
"Have you found out the other party's background?"
Old Ling shook his head and said," That person is called Ye Kan. He seems to be from a lowly family and has become famous in just a few years. It seems that the Primer family is completely supportive of him. Even Ya Fei of their family is infatuated with him."”
"To be able to rise from a lowly peasant to his current state, there must be someone behind him. Have you investigated the people who came into contact with him?”The young girl raised her bright eyes and asked again.
"There were a few black-robed men beside that person. Their identities are unknown, but Patriarch Primer treated them with great courtesy. They should be Ye Kan's master. However, the other party seems to have the strength of a Dou Huang. I do not dare to get too close.”Ling Ying nodded. After which, he said with a deeper meaning,"There's also another rumor. I heard that Ye Kan is from Wu Tan City!”
" Wu Tan City…" Xun Er muttered these three words. This was the place where she and Xiao Yan had lived since they were young. Could this be a coincidence?
"Young Lady's judgment is indeed not bad. I think that as long as he is given enough time, even the Patriarch would not dare to easily deny him. However, there were still many talented people like Ye Kan in the world. Unfortunately, there were only a few who could reach the peak. If young master Xiao Yan was unable to defeat these talented people and stand out, it was likely that those people in the clan would not agree.”Looking at the young lady who was like a fairy under the morning light, Ling Ying finally tried to persuade her.
Xun Er also nodded. Back then, for the humiliation of breaking off the engagement, the young man could still grit his teeth and bitterly train for three years. He had experienced all sorts of pain in order to appear in front of the woman who had once trampled on his dignity in a strong manner. If he were to hide behind the woman and watch his woman block the wind and rain for him, it was likely that he would feel even more uncomfortable than if he were killed, right?
"That's right, Old Ling, what level is Xiao Yan ge-ge's current strength?”The young girl suddenly thought of something and asked curiously.
"When I left, young master Xiao Yan's strength was around that of a two star Da Dou Shi.”Ling Ying laughed.
"Two star Da Dou Shi?" Her bright eyes curved into a shallow crescent moon as the young girl chuckled.""In two years, you have advanced from an ordinary Dou Shi to a Da Dou Shi. One tier per year. Tsk tsk, this speed can basically squeeze into the top five within the Jia Nan Academy. Looks like Xiao Yan ge-ge's training during these two years has been quite bitter.”
Ling Ying smiled and immediately said,"I think that young master Xiao Yan will likely come to the Jia Nan Academy during this one or two months. At that time, you will be able to resolve the pain of miss."”
The corner of the young lady's mouth contained a gentle smile as she lifted her head slightly. The skinny figure of the young man slowly surfaced in her mind. It had been more than two years. Could they finally meet again?
A warmth rose within her heart. It was a long while later before the young lady lowered her head and glanced at Ling Ying in front of her. Her lotus steps moved slightly as she walked towards the foot of the mountain.
"Old Ling, during this period of time, you should first find a place to rest outside the Jia Nan Academy. If there is no urgent matter, there is no need for you to sneak into the academy. Otherwise, if those old fellows were to find out, it is likely that they would be in trouble again. Although that group of old lunatics gave our clan face, they were very unyielding towards some of the rules. There are only a few people on this continent who can make them give in to the academy's rules. The young girl's figure gradually disappeared into the leaves, but her voice still lingered on the spot.
"Hehe, alright. If anything happens, Young Miss just needs to blow the bee flute and this old man will rush over immediately.”Ling Ying smiled and nodded. He twisted his body and turned into a dark shadow. He once again merged with the shadow of a large tree before gradually disappearing.
The girl slowly walked down the back of the mountain. Under the faint sunlight, her light green back formed an alluring silhouette.
"Hehe, Junior Xun Er, what a coincidence. You have also just come down from the mountain to cultivate?”As the young lady quietly walked, a gentle voice suddenly sounded from the side. The young lady stopped and raised her head to take a look. She saw a handsome young man in white clothes standing at the foot of the mountain not far away. He was smiling gently. With such an extraordinary face and a gentle smile, even a strange girl who was meeting him for the first time could not help but let down her guard.
"Yes." Xun Er's face did not show too much gentleness when she saw the white-clothed, young man's tall and straight figure. Although she also knew that this young man was not the kind of man who relied on his appearance to make a living. His strength was also among the top within the Jia Nan Academy. Being able to stand out from the outstanding students selected from all over the world, he could be considered a legendary figure within the younger generation of the Jia Nan Academy.
The plain greeting did not cause any change in the white-clothed young man's expression. He chuckled and took two steps forward. Just as he was about to take a step forward to talk, he was the first to open his mouth to stop him."Senior Bai Shan, Xun Er is temporarily occupied and will not accompany you to chat any longer. See you later.”
The young lady smiled. She immediately turned around and walked towards another small path. However, she had only taken a few steps when another voice sounded.
"Xun Er, you have indeed come here.”Hearing this voice that was as warm as water, a gentle smile appeared on her face. She turned around and looked at the mature woman who had come from a small distance. She smiled and said,"Instructor Ruo Lin, you were looking for me?"
Hearing this name, the person who had arrived was actually Instructor Ruo Lin, who had gone to Wu Tan City to recruit students two years ago. The current her did not leave any traces on her gentle and beautiful face after two years. Instead, after some brewing, she appeared to have an even more mature charm compared to two years ago.
"Cousin Xun Er, have you been doing well recently?”A man's figure flashed out from behind Ruo Lin. It was Xiao Xingmeng, whom she had not seen for a long time.
Seeing Xiao Xingmeng speak, Instructor Ruo Lin suddenly gritted her teeth, and a touch of indignant anger appeared on her gentle face."Xun Er, your two cousins are really unreliable. Taking a year off is already troublesome enough for me, and it actually expired! This kid just came back. If it weren't for you and Xiao Mei pestering me all day, I would have crossed out their names long ago!”
"Cousin Xingmeng, we haven't seen each other for so long, but you're still the same. Xun Er has been doing very well recently." Xun Er looked at Xiao Xing Meng, who was as carefree as before. Her intelligent eyes turned, and no one knew what she was thinking about.
