Jia Nan Academy:
At the academy gates stood ancient, imposing stone pillars, intricately carved with elaborate patterns.
Xiao Yan and the others descended from the sky.
They strode forward.
The guards at the entrance saw Hu Gan approaching and hurriedly saluted him respectfully, speaking in unison:
"Dean!"
Their voices were perfectly synchronized, carrying the strict discipline of rigorous training.
Hu Gan nodded slightly in acknowledgment and led Xiao Yan and the others directly into the academy.
The guards' eyes were filled with reverence as they swiftly swept their gazes over Xiao Yan's group.
Their hearts could not help but tighten. They were so young!
Yet the Outer Court Dean had personally come out to receive them.
They were certainly no ordinary people. Perhaps they were direct descendants of some great clan.
Unfortunately, they would never have the chance to befriend such people in their lives.
"Young Master Xiao, Jia Nan Academy is divided into the Outer Court and the Inner Academy."
"The Outer Court mainly houses new students and lower-year students, while the Inner Academy is the academy's core."
"Only students who pass the Selection Competition are qualified to enter."
As they walked, Hu Gan patiently introduced the academy's basic structure to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan nodded lightly, his thoughtful gaze sweeping over the neatly arranged buildings within the academy.
And the students coming and going.
Most of the passing students also turned their eyes toward Xiao Yan.
But none dared to stare for long.
Xiao Yan frowned slightly.
Although Jia Nan Academy did not appear particularly formidable on the surface,
there were quite a few old schemers lurking in the shadows!
With his current strength, it was not impossible for him to seize the Fallen Heart Flame by force.
It would just be troublesome, and it would create enemies.
