After Strong Ranking Grand Competition passed, Xiao Yan's life in the Jia Nan Academy became more leisurely.
Xun'er, for some reason, likes to pull Xiao Yan into the mountains alone, and then lie on the lush grass, leaning against each other and basking in the warm sunshine. The days are full and happy, but in this quiet and fulfilling mountain enjoyment, Xiao Yan felt that something was about to happen. Here was a slightly sloping grassy ground. The lush green grass was like a green blanket, spreading to the end of the line of sight. Not far below the grass, there was an extremely spacious mountain stream. The mountain stream was extremely deep, with light clouds and mist lingering in it, making it look like a fairyland.
Xiao Yan and Xun'er were lying quietly on the grass, with the faint sunlight covering their bodies, giving them a sleepy warm feeling.
Slightly tilting his head, Xun'er's pair of bright gem-like eyes looked at the young man in black robe with a leisurely expression beside him. His small mouth slowly raised a slight arc. After a moment, he seemed to have thought of something. His eyes dimmed slightly, with a flash of reluctance, and he murmured in his heart, "Brother Xiao Yan..."
"Little girl, are you leaving?" At this moment, Xiao Yan suddenly turned around and looked at Xun'er with loving eyes.
"Brother Xiao Yan... how do you know?" Xun'er looked surprised.
Smiling, Xiao Yan said nothing and turned to look at Tianji in front of him.
Seeing this, Xun'er seemed to understand something. She raised her eyes and scanned the distant northern sky, feeling the aura coming quickly. She subconsciously pressed her slender hands on Xiao Yan. With a breath of strength, a soft wind pushed Xiao Yan into the woods. At the same time, she ordered, "Brother Xiao Yan, suppress the aura, don't let them find out!"
Seeing the anxiety on Xun'er's face, Xiao Yan didn't resist, just sat there and looked outside.
Not long after Xiao Yan was pushed into the forest, a large number of breaking winds suddenly sounded from the sky, and finally a dozen small black spots appeared on the northern horizon. The routes of these black spots were extremely clear, heading directly to where Xun'er was.
As the sharp breaking sound became stronger and stronger, after a moment, the black spot quickly grew in size, and finally appeared within the visible range.
Looking through the gaps in the leaves at the dozen or so black dots within his sight, Xiao Yan became expressionless. Those black dots were not human figures, but about a dozen heads covered in black, with a long silver head that was many feet long. The single horn was covered with strange lines, and there was even a faint sound of wind and thunder coming from it. There were four extremely wide wings on the back of the monster. The wings were vibrating, and the strong wind howled down from the sky, weighing down the forest slightly.
Xiao Yan had never seen or heard of these strange monsters, but this did not prevent him from being surprised, because he felt an extremely fierce aura from these monsters. Obviously, these monsters were not just ordinary monsters used for transportation, but similar to flying beasts for combat.
Flying beasts are rare, and flying beasts used in battle are even more rare. Only those extremely powerful forces can afford to raise and tame them.
My eyes moved away from these Four-Winged Unicorn, and finally stopped on their broad backs. I could see a figure standing on the back of each Four-Winged Unicorn.
These figures were all wearing a set of purple-black robes. Their faces were expressionless, and their eyes flickered slightly, like sharp swords. It sent chills all over the body. Xiao Yan was a little shocked to find that these ten people The aura of almost every shadow is like a deep pool of water with no bottom. Xiao Yan can usually only sense this situation in the elders of the Inner Academy.
Ten huge Four-Winged Unicorns vibrated their wings and finally stopped on the mountain stream. Their eyes swept towards the girl in green standing on the grass.
"Haha, Miss Xun'er, I finally found you." Four-Winged Unicorn, who was ahead, slowly lowered, and a man above him smiled at Xun'er.
This man is not very old. He seems to be around twenty-four or five years old. His appearance is extremely handsome, comparable to that of Lin Xiuyuan. His purple-black robe makes him a little more stable than Lin Xiuyuan. And most importantly, it seems that this man is the leader of this group of people, because the other nine people are obviously standing behind him. This small place can best reflect the gap between levels.
"I am the new deputy commander of the Black Annihilation Army, Ling Quan. I am ordered by the clan master to bring the young lady back!" The man who called himself Ling Quan stood on top of Four-Winged Unicorn and clasped his fists respectfully at Xun'er.
"I said I would go back, why do you have to come all the way here." The sudden arrival of Ling Quan and others made Xun'er look cold, so even when he spoke, he was cold.
"Master Clan's command, we can only accept the order." Ling Quan smiled slightly, and just about to speak, his eyes suddenly focused, and his eyes instantly turned to the forest, and said in a deep voice, "Who is eavesdropping?"
Ling Quan had just finished shouting, and the faces of the nine figures standing still like sculptures on Four-Winged Unicorn's back instantly turned cold. With a tremor, the nine figures flashed into the forest almost at the same time, and immediately a low collision sound was heard.
"Stop!" Xun'er's pretty face changed and he shouted sternly.
"Little girl, you seem to have forgotten that your brother Xiao Yan is not a weakling." A black figure walked out of the woods and came directly to Xun'er. He pressed his big hand hard on Xun'er's little head and rubbed it!
At this moment, Ling Quan, who was standing aside, turned his face aside and shouted sternly, "How outrageous! How dare you insult me Gu Clan Little Princess! You are seeking death!"
After Xiao Yan flashed out of the woods, the nine figures were once again as one, escaping out at the same time, and finally landed behind Ling Quan. Their eyes were like sharp knives, firmly locking on Xiao Yan.
For a moment, auras of at least high-level Dou Huang burst out, all moving towards Xiao Yan to suppress them.
However, Xiao Yan has no effect.
Next to Xiao Yan, Xun'er finally came to his senses at this moment. Thinking of Xiao Yan's terrifying strength and identity, his little face finally returned to calmness. In an instant, his little face was full of smiles.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan smiled, and then turned his head casually and looked at Ling Quan opposite, who looked embarrassed, "Who are you?"
"Black Annihilation Army, deputy commander, Ling Quan, but it's useless to say so. You or Xiao Family are not qualified to contact this level." Ling Quan He smiled, with a very simple contempt in his voice. He had already heard the news that Xiao Family was almost wiped out. Nowadays, Xiao Family has completely declined. How can it still have the same glory as before?
I could hear Ling Quan's disdain for the Xiao Family, and Xiao Yan didn't care either.
"Ling Quan, shut up! Xiao Family has an alliance with our clan, how can we allow you to insult us?" However, Xun'er was really anxious and shouted sharply at Ling Quan.
"Haha, don't be upset, miss. I feel more outspoken." Ling Quan smiled, and suddenly said in a different tone, "However, before this trip, the clan clan master has given instructions. If you meet young master Xiao Yan, you can ask him for the location of the Xiao Family's part of the key."
Having said this, Ling Quan smiled and turned his gaze to Xiao Yan: "I don't know, Master Xiao Yan, can you tell me?"
Hearing this, Xun'er's heart was slightly shaken, and his face became a little embarrassed. As soon as he got off, he was about to interrupt. Xiao Yan frowned slightly and said in a pretense of doubt, "Key?"
Frowning at Xiao Yan's puzzled face, Ling Quan said to himself, "Does he really not know? Now that Xiao Family is torn apart, I don't know if Soul Hall really got the key. If so, I'm afraid it will be a lot of trouble again."
"I have been in the Xiao Family for so many years, but I have never heard of the "key". You want to get it so easily, isn't it just a dream?" Seeing that Xiao Yan brother wanted to play again, Xun'er pursed his lips, and finally rolled his eyes at Xiao Yan, and then continued.
"Haha, I'm just asking casually. The main purpose of my trip is to take the young lady back, and the rest is just a side detail." Ling Quan smiled, then bowed to Xun'er and said, "Miss, please! The clan leader misses you very much."
Liu Mei frowned, Xun'er turned to look at Xiao Yan, and said,
"Brother Xiao Yan, I have been Li Clan for many years, and I have postponed my return several times. This time, it seems that I really can't push it away. Brother Xiao Yan..." Xun'er lowered his head slightly, and his lips wriggled slightly.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan just raised his hand and held Xun'er's little hand, "Little girl, do you want to go back now? If you want to, then go home and have a look; if not, then stay, and when you want to go back, your Xiao Yan brother, I will personally escort you back. I am here, no one can influence your choice."
"Master Xiao Yan, this is our mission, so please let go of the young lady." On the side, he also heard Xiao Yan's words and looked at the man holding Xun'er's hand. The Xiao Yan and Ling Quan of the arm directly intervened, their expressions became impatient and contemptuous, and their eyes slowly became colder. However, there was still a refreshing smile on their faces.
"Also, boy, what is my identity as Miss Gu Clan?! Is this something you, a mere country boy, can care about? This is simply a delusion!"
However, neither Xun'er nor Xiao Yan seemed to care about Ling Quan. Even when Ling Quan was talking, Xun'er jumped directly into Xiao Yan's arms with a look of relief on his face. Seeing this, Xiao Yan smiled and also raised his hands to hold Xun'er's body in his arms.
Seeing this scene, looking at Xiao Yan who had the courage to embrace Xun'er in his arms, the smile on Ling Quan's face finally withdrew a little bit. His eyes were as cold as a blade and stayed on Xiao Yan. His palms were slowly clenched, and a faint physical flame was about to erupt in his fists.
As if feeling a little fluctuation of energy between heaven and earth, Xun'er still broke away from Xiao Yan's arms and whispered in Xiao Yan's ear, "Brother Xiao Yan, I haven't been home for so many years. I, actually, I also want to go home and have a look." After that, Xun'er turned around, tapped the ground with his toes, and flew into the air. His shoulders fluttered slightly, and a pair of bright golden fighting spirit wings emerged from behind him. The wings fluttered slightly, and landed on a Four-Winged Unicorn. Finally, in the strong wind, he was carried by the latter and flew away towards the distant sky.
Looking at Xun'er's leaving figure, Xiao Yan smiled and did not stop him. After all, with his current strength, if he misses Xun'er, he can directly tear apart the space and descend on the Gu Realm.
As Xun'er left, the nine figures behind Ling Quan also quickly passed over Four-Winged Unicorn, and finally caught up with him like lightning, firmly protecting the former in the middle.
Withdrawing his gaze, Xiao Yan finally stopped at Ling Quan who was still standing here, and said calmly, "Vice Commander Ling Quan still not leaving?"
"I'm not in a hurry." Ling Quan smiled, and then the smile gradually turned cold. He stared at Xiao Yan with a cold gaze and sneered, "Remember what I just said, with your achievements and the background of the Xiao Family who has become a lost dog, you are not worthy at all. Miss, to be honest with you, the clan master has guessed that the miss may have some affection for you, so he entrusted me to pass a message to you. Forget the miss, it is best to pretend that those things in the past have never happened. The miss has an extremely important position in our clan. The person who matches her can only be the real strong man in the mainland. You are not worthy!"
The last three words, Ling Quan's face, have an extremely mean disdain. Xun'er is the target of the whole family's geniuses, which naturally includes him. However, when I saw Xiao Yan dare to take Xun'er into his arms, if Unless he was concerned about Xun'er, he was afraid that he would have been unable to resist and kill Xiao Yan on the spot. Now he was sending the message with all his sarcasm. According to his expectation, if Xiao Yan could be defeated with words, that would naturally be the most satisfactory result.
However, after the words were spoken, Xiao Yan in front of him was unexpectedly calm. The pair of indifferent dark eyes stared at Ling Quan. After a moment, he chuckled softly, shook his head and said, "Whether I am worthy or not, it is not your turn to judge, and... you must be jealous of me, right?"
The meanness on his face slowly faded, and Ling Quan looked at Xiao Yan sinisterly. "Are you looking for death? Don't think that you can be arrogant with a young lady protecting you. If you really want to kill you, it will be like crushing an ant."
Xiao Yan looked calmly at Ling Quan, who was showing murderous intent, without the slightest fear, which made Ling Quan's heart churning with murderous intent. He hated that this ant-like guy always kept such a calm attitude.
Just when Ling Quan's murderous intention was slowly spreading, a faint old voice suddenly sounded on the grassland, "Ling Quan Deputy Commander, letting you enter Inner Academy to search for people is already the greatest tolerance. Now you still want to touch our students in the Inner Academy?"
As the old voice fell, a black shadow appeared strangely in mid-air, and it was Great Elder Su Qian.
Seeing Su Qian appear, the killing intent in Ling Quan instantly restrained, he cupped his hands towards the former, and said with a smile, "Great Elder, I'm just having a heart-to-heart talk with Master Xiao Yan."
