Junior, Take Me with You

"You're going into seclusion?"

"Yes."

"Let's go into seclusion then!"

Inside the Earth Flame City branch, Yang Shan was telling Luo Xie that he would be leaving for a while.

Recently, the business of the Bloodshed Hall has been very unsuccessful.

Fortunately, Yang Shan returned and slaughtered a group of Dou Wang, which helped to recover some of the performance.

Yang Shan is now a pillar of the Bloodshed Hall! I never expected that Yang Shan would leave as soon as he returned.

Luo Xie really wanted to say: What will I do if you leave, Cheng E!

But Luo Xie finally said:

"Alright, focus on improving your strength. Go now, and remember to come back soon after your seclusion ends. A big shot might be coming to the Soul Hall."

At this point, Luo Xie gave a bitter smile, "At that time, I'm afraid I won't be in charge of the Bloodshed Hall anymore."

Yang Shan: "A big shot from the Soul Hall? How big?"

Luo Xie: "I don't know. To be honest, I'm in the Soul Hall, hehe."

Luo Xie's face looked somewhat bitter.

Although the Soul Hall is powerful, as a Dou Emperor, he is only slightly better off than the lowest level in the Soul Hall.

The reason they were sent to the Black-Corner Region was because the Soul Hall dared not send too many people out of the Central Plains, lest they be discovered by other forces!

Otherwise, in a place like the Black-Corner Region, if someone really wanted to stir up trouble, it would be impossible without sending a Dou Zong- level protector! Luo Xie said earnestly, "Little Brother E, don't worry, when that important person arrives, I will definitely report to him on Little Brother E contributions to the Soul Hall during this period! With Little Brother E abilities, you will surely win the favor of that important person!"

Luo Xie has a 48-point favorability rating towards Yang Shan, so as long as it doesn't involve any too important interests, Luo Xie is subjectively willing to be friendly towards Yang Shan.

When Yang Shan left, Luo Xie was reluctant to part with him.

Fortunately, Luo Xie was able to see Unseeable Yang Shan's cultivation level as long as Yang Shan didn't make a move.

Otherwise, if Luo Xie had known that Yang Shan had broken through to the Dou Wang, he probably would have refused to let Yang Shan leave even if it meant death.

Get the Bloodshed Hall business up and running quickly! Three days later, in the Inner Courtyard of the Jia Nan Academy, in Xiao Xun'er's small courtyard.

Xiao Xun'er was brewing tea at the stone table.

There were two other women at the table.

One of them is Hu Jia, who is desperately pursuing Xiao Xun'er but is destined to have a one-sided love for her.

There was another woman whose face was unfamiliar, and whose distinctive long silver hair was tied in a ponytail, giving her a touch of heroic spirit.

But the silver dress paired with those long, black-stockinged legs was enough to drive any old pervert crazy! Although the Dou Qi Continent is a fantasy setting, it is so vast that the cultural development of many regions is slightly different.

When developing Battle Through the Heavens, Tian Yao Company also conducted player surveys, asking players whether the inclusion of special clothing such as black stockings in Battle Through the Heavens felt out of place.

The survey results showed that 25% of players believed that black stockings were acceptable.

75% of players also believe that it shouldn't just be black stockings; white stockings, mid-calf stockings, thigh-high stockings, bodysuits, suspenders, fishnet stockings, silk stockings, and lace stockings are all necessary! Han Yue is also a supporting character with a certain amount of screen time in the original work.

Before Xiao Xun'er, Han Yue was already hailed as the most beautiful woman in the Inner Courtyard!

Therefore, Tian Yao Company spared no expense in designing Han Yue's image.

A truly stunning beauty.

During this time, Yang Shan was not in the Inner Courtyard, and Xiao Xun'er and Han Yue had many interactions, eventually becoming friends.

You know, there are very few people who can become friends with Xiao Xun'er.

Lin Xiuya dreamed of drinking a cup of tea brewed by Xiao Xun'er. At this moment, Han Yue took a sip of tea and sighed, "Xun'er Sister Xun'er, you don't seem to be in a good mood lately."

Hu Jia: "Why is it not good? Xun'er has always been like this, hasn't she?"

Han Yue shook her head:

"Hu Jia, you're still too carefree. Xun'er Sister Xun'er hasn't even gone to the Heavenly Flame Training Tower lately. She stays in this courtyard all day. She doesn't get involved in any of the excitement in the Inner Courtyard."

Hu Jia: "She's like this in the Outer Courtyard too!"

Han Yue: "No, at first, Xun'er was willing to go out more. Hu Jia, you need to be more careful in everything you do."

Hu Jia: "Why be so careful? Xun'er will definitely tell us if something is wrong, otherwise it means nothing is wrong."

Han Yue smiled wryly and stopped arguing with Hu Jia.

Xiao Xun'er, on the other hand, seemed to have had her thoughts exposed by Han Yue, staring blankly at the teacup she was touching with both hands.

Perhaps, for Xiao Xun'er, life in the Inner Courtyard was truly too boring.

It's pretty much the same as when I was with the Ancient Clan.

At most, back in the Ancient Clan, no one of her generation dared to look her in the eye.

In the Inner Courtyard, male students who wanted to take a second look at her were as numerous as hairs on a cow.

"My junior's life must be much more exciting than mine, sigh."

"Senior?"

The familiar voice made Xiao Xun'er shudder involuntarily, splashing tea onto her hands.

The three women looked towards the entrance of the courtyard.

Seeing that Yang Shan seemed unchanged, Xiao Xun'er actually stood up and smiled at Yang Shan, saying, "Junior, it's been a long time."

Whether Xiao Xun'er's smile was out of politeness or sincerity, Han Yue and Hu Jia, as her friends, knew better than anyone.

It seemed that Xiao Xun'er's smile this time was even warmer than when she was with them.

Hu Jia wished she could tear Yang Shan to pieces!

The hatred of having one's wife stolen is irreconcilable! Han Yue looked at Yang Shan, whose bright red cloak was too eye-catching.

Would a man with a slightly flamboyant personality wear this color? But Han Yue isn't an ordinary woman who judges people by their appearance.

Although there were three beautiful women in the courtyard, Yang Shan's eyes were always on Xiao Xun'er.

Of course, Yu Guang could give Han Yue some attention.

After all, although this beautiful NPC didn't have much screen time in the original story, she was undeniably attractive, with silver hair and black stockings, and enjoyed immense popularity in her previous life! Moreover, she was ranked tenth on the Inner Courtyard's Strong Ranking! As for Hu Jia, she was truly unfamiliar with her! "Senior, I'm back."

Yang Shan ignored Hu Jia and took out a sachet from his Storage Ring: "Senior sister, this sachet contains the seeds of the Secluded Dream Incense. Place it by your pillow when you sleep, and you'll sleep better. This stuff is a specialty of the Jia Ma Empire, and it's extremely rare. It took me more than ten days to get it!"

Is Xiao Xun'er lacking anything?

We have everything we need!

Therefore, gifts don't need to be very expensive.

It's good that it has some special meaning! Yang Shan is very thoughtful! Xiao Xun'er might have a better sachet.

But Xiao Xun'er might not necessarily put a sachet by her pillow when she sleeps! Although Xiao Xun'er might not know how to use it.

But what if you actually use it? You can always take a look at the sachet before going to sleep, right?

Over time, perhaps it will increase her favorability by one or two points! Xiao Xun'er naturally accepted the sachet:

"Junior, thank you, that's very kind of you."

This scene left Han Yue and Hu Jia completely stunned.

You should know that there are more students pursuing Xiao Xun'er in the Inner Courtyard than Han Yue! And countless people are giving Xiao Xun'er gifts!

Among them are even some precious pills of the fourth grade.

But Xiao Xun'er always politely declined with a smile.

But now, did Xiao Xun'er hesitate for even a second? She accepted it so naturally?

"Damn it! He deserves to die!"

Hu Jia was already about to pull out her whip! Han Yue knew a little about Yang Shan.

Especially Xiao Xun'er.

When Yang Shan is mentioned, Xiao Xun'er usually describes him with just two words.

Honesty!

Sharp!

Han Yue had witnessed firsthand just how formidable Xiao Xun'er was.

Xiao Xun'er will definitely be second in the next Strong Ranking competition!

He might even have a go at the legendary senior! "Junior, have a seat, I'll make you some tea."

Look!

Who in the Inner Courtyard could be treated like this by Xiao Xun'er? Han Yue just couldn't understand it.

What did Xiao Xun'er see in Yang Shan?

He is handsome, but not as handsome as Lin Xiuya.

Strong, perhaps very strong. I heard that during the Fire Energy Hunting Competition, he was able to hold out against Liu Qing until Xiao Xun'er defeated Lin Xiuya and came to his aid.

Good personality? The elegant Lin Xiuya is no less so!

It's understandable that Han Yue couldn't figure it out, after all, she only had 8 points of favorability, so it was too early to talk about whether she liked him or not.

Xiao Xun'er's special feelings for Yang Shan were simply due to some curiosity, plus the fact that Yang Shan was the only player in the entire Jia Nan Academy with Xiao Xun'er's favorability.

Just as Yang Shan picked up his teacup, he heard Xiao Xun'er say, "Senior Han Yue, Hu Jia, I heard that an elder is going to give a lecture later. Aren't you going?"

Hu Jia: "No, I'm not going. That kid's back, I have to keep an eye on him. I can't let him fool Xun'er! Hey? Senior Han Yue, why are you pulling me?"

Han Yue said helplessly, "Let's go, you tiger girl, can't you understand what Xun'er means?"

Hu Jia: "What do you mean? What do you mean? Don't pull me, Senior Han Yue, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have high cultivation. I'm going to make a move!"

Han Yue: "Come on, try it. I'm in the top ten of the Strong Ranking, am I afraid I can't handle you?"

Han Yue forcibly pulled Hu Jia away.

Xiao Xun'er immediately put down the teapot and looked at Yang Shan expectantly:

"Junior, please take me with you!"

Yang Shan: "."

Hidden in the shadows, Dou Emperor Ling Ying gritted her teeth, her jaw clenching. "Young Miss! What are you saying? This could easily lead that brat to misunderstand!"

Yang Shan had no misunderstanding, so his answer was:

"Is the senior feeling too bored and wants to go out for a walk?"

Xiao Xun'er: "Hmm, your life must be very exciting. I really want to visit the village of ordinary people that you mentioned."

Yang Shan awkwardly, "That might be difficult. The Black-Corner Region is too chaotic. Ordinary people simply cannot survive there, let alone isolated villages."

Xiao Xun'er thought for a moment:

"It's alright, just want to go out for a walk. Junior, could you lend me your Ghoul Lord Token?"

Yang Shan spread his hand, and half of the Ghoul Lord Token ended up in Xiao Xun'er's hand.

Xiao Xun'er also took out her half of the Ghoul Lord Token. When the two were put together, they immediately emitted a faint light.

Xiao Xun'er placed the token on the table.

The light gradually converged into a screen of light, resembling a map.

Xiao Xun'er pointed to the red dot marked on the map and said:

"This should be the location of the Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning. Junior, if you can take me out, we can explore this area together. I will give you the Ghoul Lord Token."

[Ding! Congratulations, player! You have triggered a special quest. Please take Xiao Xun'er away from the Jia Nan Academy temporarily and travel with Xiao Xun'er to the location of the Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning.]

[Players please note that during the game, the rate at which Xiao Xun'er's favorability increases or decreases will be more significant. Please proceed with caution!]

Yang Shan himself was dumbfounded.

He never expected happiness to come so suddenly.

Is Xiao Xun'er really seeking excitement after being a recluse for too long? Is she Ghoul Lord Token?

Little did Yang Shan know the immense impact the letter he had given Xiao Xun'er when he left the Black-Corner Region had! Yang Shan solemnly patted his chest:

"Since you've said so, don't worry, I'll make sure you're comfortable the whole way."

Xiao Xun'er chuckled, "Junior brother, you make it sound like you want to be my servant. It's not that serious. I just want to experience a different life. But junior brother, do you have a way to leave the Inner Courtyard?"

Yang Shan was taken aback. "Why can't we leave? Jia Nan Academy doesn't have a rule about confining people to their quarters."

"Things are different now."

Xiao Xun'er explained the current situation to Yang Shan in detail.

Recently, the conflict between the Jia Nan Academy and several forces in the Black-Corner Region has intensified.

The casualty rate among Enforcement Team has skyrocketed.

In addition, the Strong Ranking competition is about to begin in a few months.

Therefore, Great Elder Su Qian ordered a temporary hibernation and recalled most of the personnel who were stationed outside.

All students must remain at the Jia Nan Academy during this period and focus on their cultivation.

We'll talk about it after the Strong Ranking matches.

Therefore, during this period, the students of the Inner Courtyard can only go to the vast forest outside the Inner Courtyard to fight against magical beasts or search for rare and precious materials.

Unless Xiao Xun'er reveals her identity as the eldest daughter of the Ancient Clan and persuades Great Elder Su Qian to relent.

But since we're here to gain experience, we can't rely on this identity.

Yang Shan thought for a moment.

This is indeed a difficult matter.

But it's not impossible.

Yang Shan asked:

"Senior, do you have any secret weapons to conceal your presence?"

Xiao Xun'er's eyes lit up. "You really have a way?"

Yang Shan: "Hmm, I'll give it a try."

Xiao Xun'er thought for a moment and took off the Jade Pendant she was wearing, "This can conceal my aura."

"Thank you so much, senior!"

Yang Shan took the jade Jade Pendant, which was still warm, but did not wear it; instead, he put it in his bosom.

Wearing it and putting it in one's bosom have different meanings.

Even though you have 8 points of favorability, don't go too far.

Sure enough, seeing that Yang Shan had been taken into her arms, Xiao Xun'er's smile widened considerably.

"Senior, I'll be going now. Wait for my message!"

"Yes, junior, don't force yourself."

"I have to force myself to save the Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning!"

Yang Shan strode out of the courtyard gate with a proud and imposing air.

Head straight to the Inner Courtyard of the Enforcement Court!

Although it was Great Elder Su Qian who ordered the confinement.

However, for the Enforcement Team, these conditions can naturally be relaxed a bit.

After all, the Enforcement Team is Jia Nan Academy's sharpest weapon against external threats.

Yang Shan arrived at the door of the elder in charge of the Enforcement Team and knocked.

"Come in!"

Upon entering, Yang Shan first bowed with his hands clasped in greeting:

"Student Yang Shan greets Elder Xing!"

Elder Xing is the head of the Enforcement Team, and his level is Three Star Dou Huang!

Yang Shan bowed before looking up, only to find that Elder Xing was not the only one in the courtyard.

Great Elder Su Qian is here too! Yang Shan quickly bowed again. "This student greets Great Elder Su Qian!"

Great Elder Su Qian squinted and said, "Oh, it's you, you troublemaker!"

Yang Shan chuckled awkwardly; he actually made a good impression on Great Elder Su Qian.

The elders of the Jia Nan Academy never mind if a student is a troublemaker; they're just afraid if a student isn't a troublemaker!

How can a student without a temper become a strong person? Therefore, those who are called "troublemakers" are not ordinary troublemakers.

More prickly than a hedgehog! Elder Xing had never met Yang Shan before, but he had a particularly deep impression of Yang Shan: "So you're called Yang Shan, right? I've wanted to meet you several times, but haven't been able to!"

Yang Shan was embarrassed:

"I've been too busy, please forgive me, Elder."

Elder Xing harbored some resentment:

"You brat, what brings you here to see me this time?"

Yang Shan: "I want to transfer a student from the Inner Courtyard to help me complete a mission."

The higher-ups in the Enforcement Team have the authority to assign trainees to act alongside them in the Inner Courtyard, provided that the trainees themselves are willing to do so.

Elder Xing slammed his hand on the table:

"What do you think you're doing, brat? Great Elder Su Qian is right here! There's a limit to how much trouble you can cause!"

Yang Shan was determined to assassinate him today! He didn't care if Jia Nan Academy blacklisted him for the sake of the Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning! However, Yang Shan still tried his best to appear respectful and took out a token from his Storage Ring.

Yang Shan had quite a few tokens in his hand.

The Bauhinia Token of the Mittel Family.

Honorary Elder Token of the Alchemist Guild.

The assassin's order for the Bloodshed Hall.

Luo Xie's Soul Envoy Personal Decree.

There is another token, which is the one that Yang Shan has just taken out.

The Jia Nan Academy Enforcement Team, Council Token! The position of Council Member is second only to Elder Xing within the Enforcement Team! Even Elder Xing himself was astonished:

"Kid, where did you get that token?"

Others might not know, but how could Elder Xing not know?

Council Token are in stock at the Enforcement Team in Peace Town and Canaan City.

As long as you contribute enough points, you can claim the reward directly.

But damn it, you need to kill at least ten Dou Wang to accumulate enough contribution points!

Those are ten Dou Wang! Yang Shan didn't explain, but instead lowered his head and said:

"Elders, this matter is really important to the students. After this, I am willing to return the Council Token and reset all contributions of the Enforcement Team to zero. I only ask that I be allowed to take one student away from the academy for a period of time."

Great Elder Su Qian gave Yang Shan a deep look. "Who are you going to bring?"

Yang Shan: "Xiao Xun'er".

"Puff!"

Elder Xing was just about to take a sip of tea to calm himself down when Yang Shan ignited his anger again. "You brat, even if you want to date Xiao Xun'er, can't you do it within the academy?"

Yang Shan: "Elder Xing, you don't understand. Xun'er Sister Xun'er and I really have something important to discuss!"

Elder Xing: "What's so important? I'd like to hear it!"

"Alright, Elder Xing, it's against the rules to pry into the students' privacy."

At this moment, it was Great Elder Su Qian who took the initiative to persuade Elder Xing to stop, and said to Yang Shan, "Yang Shan, is this the second time we've met?"

Yang Shan: "Yes."

Great Elder Su Qian: "I have specifically looked at your information. You were recruited by Ruo Lin in Cloud Frost City of the Jia Ma Empire. You only stayed for one day before participating in the Fire Energy Hunting Competition. You also only stayed in the Inner Courtyard for one day before leaving."

"But I can't blame you for anything, because you went to the Enforcement Team and did a lot for my Jia Nan Academy. You didn't enjoy any resources in the academy, but you gave so much. It's only right and proper that I have to make an exception for you."

Great Elder Su Qian stepped forward and patted Yang Shan on the shoulder:

"The order has already been issued, and as the Great Elder, I cannot take it back. However, if you can convince everyone in the Inner Courtyard, then you can leave with your people, and the other students cannot say anything."

Yang Shan paused for a moment. "Does the Great Elder mean that as long as I defeat Lin Xiuya and Liu Qing, I can legitimately disregard orders and take Senior Sister Xun'er away from the Jia Nan Academy temporarily?"

Great Elder Su Qian nodded. "You can understand it that way."

Yang Shan noticed that Su Qian and Elder Xing, these two elderly people, had actually appeared on his favorability list!

And the favorability rating is still increasing! Especially for Su Qian, it's almost 10 o'clock!

There are many types of students who are liked by teachers.

But Yang Shan is like a "special student" in the real world who has a place at a university but never goes to class.

We never even see each other normally, but they always send back a few national or even world-class competition certificates from time to time.

Which teacher wouldn't like a student like this? If a younger university teacher were lucky enough to encounter such a student, they would be laughing out loud in bed. If they had the chance to meet, they might even offer him a cigarette and light it for him!

Su Qian greatly admired Yang Shan.

So what if he's a troublemaker? His abilities speak for themselves! He came to the Jia Nan Academy and didn't grab a single resource, he just worked like crazy! He had enough contributions to exchange for a Di-rank Dou Technique, but he refused them all, just to take Xiao Xun'er out for a romantic time.

If Su Qian didn't grant Yang Shan's request, he felt that he should replace him as the Great Elder!

"Thank you for your kindness, Great Elder. I will take my leave now! Elder Xing, I will come to apologize again when I have time."

After Yang Shan left, Elder Xing asked:

"Great Elder, are you really going to contradict yourself?"

Su Qian smiled like an old fox, "I'm slapping my own face, but all the students in the Inner Courtyard have to slap their own faces. So, I'm not losing out!"

Elder Xing: "Are you really that confident in Yang Shan? Lin Xiuya and Liu Qing are already halfway to becoming Dou Wang! With their abilities, they could probably even beat some low- Dou Wang who rely on pills to build up their strength!"

Su Qian: "Actually, I thought Yang Shan would try to bargain, but I didn't expect him to agree so readily. Also, I can't see through him, you know that!"

Elder Xing swallowed hard.

"You don't mean to say that this Yang Shan is some kind of Dou Zun who's bored and disguised himself as a young man to come to the Jia Nan Academy for some fun, do you?"

"Of course not, but I suspect that Xiao Xun'er's hidden treasure is currently in Yang Shan's hands. He figured long ago that to leave Jia Nan Academy, he had to use his fists! He's hiding his true strength simply to..."

At this point, Su Qian smiled smugly:

"It's simply to limit his opponents to fellow students, preventing him from fighting the elders. This kid actually thinks he can fool me!"

Elder Xing: "That's true. You're a cunning old fox who's been around for hundreds of years. What kind of students haven't you seen? There aren't many who can fool you. Let's see what this kid is planning. If he spars in private, even if he wins, he won't be able to convince everyone. What reason will he give to make Lin Xiuya and Liu Qing willing to take action?"

Su Qian: "This kid killed so many Dou Wang, how could he have few good things on him?"

Su Qian's guess was entirely correct.

After Yang Shan left the Enforcement Court, he asked Xiao Xun'er to ask Han Yue and Hu Jia for help.

Yang Shan, a newly enrolled student in the Inner Courtyard, challenged Lin Xiuya, the second-ranked student on the Strong Ranking, and Liu Qing, the third-ranked student on the Strong Ranking.

Regardless of who Yang Shan lost to in either of the two matches, he would give the opponent a top-grade fifth-rank pill: the Ascension Spirit Pill! For a time, the Inner Courtyard, which had been somewhat lifeless due to the confinement order, was transformed.

Suddenly, it was as if the Fallen Heart Flame had been unsealed.

It's getting hot!

Today is the sky's birthday.

My mom remembers, my wife remembers, but I don't remember...

Then I kept writing until 2:30 in the morning.

This is probably what it means to be a man approaching thirty.

The groundwork for the new version has been laid.

You all know what happens next.

Now that I'm Dou Wang, let me show off a bit.

The story of "eloping" with Xiao Xun'er and ultimately ending up at Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning is quite engaging, with something new to discover every day.

Sky29.

My last birthday wish before turning thirty: I hope all you Battle Emperor Lord this year will have continuous good fortune, so I can give you more subscriptions, haha. (This book isn't finished yet this year, so I'll have the same wish next year. Wish x2 might make it more likely to come true.)
