Farewell Before Departure

Chapter 28: Farewell Before Departure

A moment later, Xiao Yan began to cultivate the Mysterious Tier Low-grade Dou Technique—Blowing Fire Palm.

"Blowing Fire Palm!"

In an instant, a powerful gust of wind suddenly erupted from Xiao Yan's palm, causing the large tree opposite him to sway violently, its leaves rustling and falling. The scene was quite spectacular.

"This Blowing Fire Palm is truly powerful. If it's combined with Suction Palm, wouldn't its might be even more astonishing!" A hint of surprise flashed across Xiao Yan's small face, and he immediately continued to sweat profusely as he cultivated.

Meanwhile, Xiao Tian, who had been watching all of this from afar, stood with his arms crossed on an ancient tree. A faint smile appeared on his face as he observed Xiao Yan's diligent and arduous training.

"Not bad. In just three short months, he's already reached Eight-stage Fighting Qi. I believe he'll be able to return to his peak soon!"

Xiao Tian was quite satisfied with his cousin Xiao Yan's hard work during this period. He planned to gift him some auxiliary pills once he broke through to Nine-stage Fighting Qi.

At this moment, seeing Xiao Yan's diligent training, Xiao Tian did not disturb him. His gaze shifted behind Xiao Yan, and his soul power spread out. He immediately discovered a white-haired old man in a white robe standing there, appearing ethereal and at ease, occasionally offering guidance to Xiao Yan.

After a quick glance, Xiao Tian did not interfere and quickly turned to leave.

Little did he know, the moment he appeared, Elder Yao had already sensed his presence. At this moment, Elder Yao's old eyes, gleaming with sharp light, stared in the direction Xiao Tian had left. Stroking his beard, he muttered to himself:

"Strange, this cousin of Xiao Yan seems a bit peculiar. Could it be that there's an old fellow hidden within him too?"

Elder Yao was somewhat baffled by Xiao Tian's aura and cultivation level. Logically, with his strength, how could he not see through Xiao Tian?

However, the fact was that he still couldn't fathom Xiao Tian's depth, and he didn't even understand how Xiao Tian's Battle Qi could have reached such a high stage!

After leaving the back mountain, Xiao Tian immediately went to the Mietel Auction House.

As usual, not long after entering the VIP room, Ya Fei walked in gracefully, her alluring, snake-like waist swaying. She said with a charming, coquettish tone:

"Hmph, man, you never come to see me. Every time you come, you just ask me to sell things for you!"

Ya Fei's delicate body leaned closer to Xiao Tian, her breath like orchids, her resentful voice causing Xiao Tian's heart to flutter.

"Cough, cough, Ya Fei, please help me auction these items. I'll give you twenty percent of the gold coins as commission!" Xiao Tian coughed awkwardly and then tossed Ya Fei an ancient-looking Storage Ring.

This Storage Ring contained pills that were useless to him, as well as some cultivation techniques or Dou Techniques he couldn't use at all.

Taking the Storage Ring, Ya Fei smiled charmingly. Then, her delicate body pressed against Xiao Tian, and she wrapped her fair, slender arms around his neck. Her soft red lips brushed against Xiao Tian's earlobe as she said in a seductive voice:

"That night, you tossed me around for the entire night. The next day, I couldn't even lift my legs. Are you going to have me serve you tonight too..."

Hearing Ya Fei's seductive and teasing words, Xiao Tian swallowed hard, suppressing the turmoil within him. He suddenly said with a serious expression:

"Ya Fei, I have one more thing to tell you this time. I'm leaving. I'm leaving Wutan City."

Xiao Tian had already made this decision long ago. Only by constantly going to more prosperous regions to sign in could he obtain more generous rewards. Moreover, he still needed to search for Origin Qi.

After the Xiao family stabilized, Xiao Tian planned to officially leave Wutan City.

"Huh? You're leaving??" Hearing Xiao Tian's words, Ya Fei's originally seductive face instantly stiffened, and a hint of reluctance welled up in her eyes.

"Yes, I'm planning to go out and gain some experience. I'll probably come back!" Xiao Tian said with a smile.

Hearing this, Ya Fei bit her cherry lips, her pearly teeth trembling slightly. After a long silence, she raised her pretty head, her beautiful eyes filled with deep affection, staring intently at Xiao Tian, and slowly said:

"I'm willing to wait for you!"

Seeing Ya Fei's serious expression, Xiao Tian's heart trembled.

After chatting for a while longer, Xiao Tian then left the Mietel Auction House.

Watching Xiao Tian's retreating figure, Ya Fei turned around and stood there in a daze for a long time. In fact, she always secretly looked back after each farewell.

"System, sign in at Mietel Auction House!"

While he was at it, Xiao Tian also initiated today's sign-in.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in and receiving the reward: Grade 3 Pill—Qi Replenishing Pill * 100]

Grade 3 Pill—Qi Replenishing Pill, which can quickly restore Battle Qi, with excellent effects.

Looking at the rewards from the sign-in, Xiao Tian couldn't help but let out a wry smile and muttered to himself:

"It seems I can't get anything more precious by signing in within Wutan City."

Not long after, after completely leaving the vicinity of the Mietel Auction House, Xiao Tian headed straight for the Xiao family hall.

Before leaving, he decided to hand over most of the low-grade pills he obtained from signing in to Xiao Zhan. This way, after he left, the Xiao family's inventory wouldn't be depleted, causing a sharp decline in sales.

With everything arranged, Xiao Tian walked through the Xiao family plaza and into the garden. Just as he was about to go find Xun'er to say goodbye, he saw a graceful figure standing quietly ahead. The maiden's posture was like a green lotus, graceful and elegant. Her flowing hair danced in the wind, making her appear like a serene lily, holy and noble.

"Xun'er?" Seeing the familiar figure, Xiao Tian was momentarily stunned, then walked over with a smile.

"Brother Xiao Tian, I heard Uncle Xiao say you're leaving Wutan City. Is it true?" Before he could get close, Xun'er's slightly sad and heartbroken voice rang out.

Xiao Tian nodded slightly, then raised his hand to stroke Xun'er's head and said gently with a smile:

"I am leaving. This time, you will go to Jia Nan Academy with Cousin Xiao Yu to study well. It won't be long before I come to find you at Jia Nan Academy!"

Hearing this, a hint of sadness appeared in Xun'er's beautiful eyes, as if she were reluctant to part. Her soft body suddenly burrowed into Xiao Tian's embrace, her head buried in his chest as she held him tightly.

Feeling Xun'er's soft, delicate body, a doting smile appeared on Xiao Tian's lips. He gently rubbed Xun'er's hair with his right hand.

After a moment, Xun'er lifted her peerlessly beautiful and exquisite face, tear-streaked and looking incredibly charming, and said:

"Brother Xiao Tian, then remember, you must come to Jia Nan Academy to find Xun'er!"

Xiao Tian smiled faintly, flicking Xun'er's perky nose with his finger, and said with a smile:

"Of course!"

As soon as the words fell, the two leaned against each other in the garden pavilion. A breeze blew, scattering two strands of dark hair, making the scene incredibly romantic.

Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, several more days passed. The recruitment team from Jia Nan Academy responsible for Wutan City had arrived at the city's central plaza.

In the crowd, a woman in red scanned the plaza with her bright eyes, finally settling on Xiao Yu. She ran forward joyfully and threw herself into Xiao Yu's arms with a giggle. Her fair hand pinched Xiao Yu's chest, and she said with a teasing smile:

"My dear Yu'er, let this young lady feel if you've grown recently?"

"Get lost, you're so annoying!" A blush appeared on Xiao Yu's face. She pushed the woman in red away with a playful scolding, then suddenly turned, her gaze locking onto Xiao Tian, who was lazily lying on a large tree not far away. She introduced him:

"Hehe, Xue Ni, do you know who this is? This is Xiao Tian, the one I told you about before!"
