Xiao Yan Had Developed True Feelings

Su Qian was in a very serious mood at this moment, because the people in front of him were all high-ranking members of the Misty Cloud Sect.

Yun Shan, Medusa, Xiao Yi Xian, Yun Yun, and many other Dou Zun have all appeared at the Jia Nan Academy today. It is unknown why. With his Dou Zong strength, if the other party harbors hostility, the entire academy may be in danger.

On the Jia Nan Academy side, a large number of high-level combatants had gathered, including Elders Qian Mu Bai Lie, Vice Dean Hu Gan, and Heavenly Fire Venerate, all of whom came to support them. However, in terms of lineup, they were actually a bit lacking.

"Esteemed esteemed members of the Misty Cloud Sect, your presence at our humble academy is a great honor for the Jia Nan Academy. I have already instructed the head chef of the dining hall to prepare a banquet. Please, esteemed members, have a seat." Su Qian invited the old man from Yun Shan and his companions to the reception hall, not daring to show the slightest disrespect.

Su Qian had heard that the Misty Cloud Sect had taken control of the Northwest Continent, and that they had a Yun Lan Ancestor behind them. It was rumored that even Half-Saint was no match for them. Their strength was far beyond imagination, and they had already reached the pinnacle of the secular cultivator world. How could Su Qian dare to offend them easily?

Yun Shan said, "Lord Su Qian, you are too kind. Your Jia Nan Academy is indeed extraordinary and unparalleled. Its students are in no way inferior to the disciples of my Misty Cloud Sect."

The teaching methods of the Jia Nan Academy are well worth learning from by the Misty Cloud Sect. Unlike other Dou Qi academies, this academy not only provides students with a peaceful life, but also teaches them how to face the cruelty of the outside world.

"Not at all! Not at all!" Su Qian waved his hand and said, "No matter how perfect the teaching quality of my Jia Nan Academy is, it can't compare to Lord Yun Shan's Misty Cloud Sect. I've heard that the Misty Cloud Sect now a cradle that gathers the talents of the entire Northwest. Compared with the Misty Cloud Sect, my Jia Nan Academy can only be described as a small witch meeting a great witch, and I feel ashamed of myself!"

Su Qian and Yun Shan are both leaders in the education industry. After exchanging pleasantries several times, they also discussed some educational techniques and felt as if they had known each other for a long time.

But Su Qian also had a question, and looked at Yun Shan and asked, "I wonder what brings Sect Master Yun to our Jia Nan Academy this time?"

They had never had any dealings with the Northwest Misty Cloud Sect before, so their sudden arrival today was truly puzzling.

Yun Shan, "Actually, it's nothing major. We came to the Jia Nan Academy this time because we were ordered by my Yun Lan Ancestor, Ye Qianqian, to specifically meet a girl named Arale."

"See Arale?" Su Qian was startled. The Misty Cloud Sect had come in such a grand manner just to find his disciple Arale?

"That's right," Yun Shan laughed. "Our ancestor, Ye Qianqian, possessed extraordinary abilities and had already deduced and divined certain unknown events. Therefore, this Arale is the key to changing our Misty Cloud Sect."

"Is that so?" Su Qian was puzzled and immediately asked someone to bring Arale over.

Before long, Ye Qianqian, Xiao Yan, and the others arrived outside the living room. Xiao Yan was still filled with doubts.

What exactly does the Misty Cloud Sect want from Arale?

Based on his understanding of the Misty Cloud Sect, he considered it a gathering place for utterly wicked people, so naturally he had no good impression of the Misty Cloud Sect.

"Brother Xiao Yan, Arale has gone inside." Ye Qianqian released Xiao Yan's soft little hand and was about to stride into the house.

Xiao Yan seemed somewhat dazed, a bad premonition rising in his heart.

Finally, he made a decision.

"Arale, I'll go in with you."

As soon as the two entered the hall, they ran into an old acquaintance.

"Xiao Yan!"

Xiao Yi Xian, Medusa, Yun Yun, and Na Lan Yan Ran were all taken aback, never expecting Xiao Yan to appear at the Jia Nan Academy.

"Xiao Yi Xian, Your Majesty, Sect Master Yun, it's been a long time," Xiao Yan said with a bitter smile.

Xiao Yi Xian and Na Lan Yan Ran are already Dou Zun expert, but he is still stuck below Dou Ling. This kind of blow is really hard to accept.

Both Xiao Yi Xian and Yun Yun harbored indescribable feelings for Xiao Yan.

Because this man was someone who had once stirred their hearts in their lives.

"Xiao Yan, you... it's been a long time." Yun Yun hesitated, unsure of what to say.

Xiao Yi Xian originally wanted to catch up with Xiao Yan, but she was so surprised by Ye Qianqian walking in from outside the hall that her beautiful eyes widened.

"Teacher, did you call me?" Ye Qianqian obediently came to the hall, first walking towards Su Qian and starting to act coquettishly, which made Su Qian dote on her immensely.

"Ancestor?"

Yun Shan and the others were dumbfounded. The girl in front of them looked exactly like their ancestor Ye Qianqian; they were practically identical.

However, this girl's strength was only at the level of Da Dou Shi, which was worlds apart from that of their ancestor.

No wonder our ancestor specifically requested that this girl be brought back to the Misty Cloud Sect; there must be something fishy about this.

"Hahaha," Great Elder Su Qian, puzzled, patted Ye Qianqian's head and laughed loudly, "Esteemed members of the Misty Cloud Sect, this is my disciple, Arale. She has arrived. May I ask what business you have with her?"

Yun Shan said to Ye Qianqian, "You must be Arale. Would you be willing to return to the Misty Cloud Sect with us?"

Now that Arale has appeared, Yun Shan will naturally follow his ancestor's instructions.

"Go to the Misty Cloud Sect?" Ye Qianqian pretended to be puzzled, and hurriedly put on the act of a restrained and frightened little girl, afraid of revealing any flaws and being discovered by Yun Shan and the others.

She had lived in the Misty Cloud Sect for quite some time, and Yun Shan had memorized her every word and action. If she were to accidentally reveal her speech patterns, Yun Shan might become suspicious.

"What are you going to do with Arale at the Misty Cloud Sect?" Xiao Yan immediately stepped forward and questioned.

Ye Qianqian, that big con artist, has successfully tricked Xiao Yan into revealing his feelings. Seeing that Yun Shan wanted to take his beloved girl away, Xiao Yan naturally refused.

Today, if these people from the Misty Cloud Sect don't give him a proper explanation, he will never let Arale leave him.

"Yes, Sect Master Yun Shan, if you want to take my disciple away, you should at least give me a reason, right?"

Su Qian felt the same way; if he wanted to take his prized disciple away, he needed to give a reason for it!

"This..." Yun Shan said awkwardly, "Great Elder Su Qian, please don't be offended. I am unaware of this matter either, but it is the intention of my Yun Lan Ancestor. I hope you can do me a favor and not put me in a difficult position."

"Hmph," Su Qian snorted coldly, dissatisfied. "Sect Master Yun, you're the one putting me in a difficult position. You came to my Jia Nan Academy, and without even explaining your intentions, you want to take away my students and my disciple. That doesn't make sense! Even if you have your own difficulties, you should at least ask my disciple if she's willing to go with you!"

"Teacher, Arale isn't going to the Misty Cloud Sect. Arale wants to stay in the academy and take care of you," Ye Qianqian hurriedly stated.

"Oh, very good, very good, my disciple is indeed excellent," Su Qian said with a smug smile. Then she said to Yun Shan, "Sect Master Yun Shan, I am truly sorry that I cannot comply with your request. Since Arale is unwilling to go with you, then please return!"

Su Qian sensed that Yun Shan's intentions were impure and immediately ordered him to leave.

"You..." Yun Shan suddenly became displeased.

In an instant, the peaceful scene turned tense, and all the elders of the Jia Nan Academy became fully alert.

Although the Misty Cloud Sect is powerful, Jia Nan Academy is not to be trifled with. After all, their Dean, Mang Tianchi Jia Nan Academy, possesses the strength of Advanced Half-Saint.

However, Yun Shan didn't take Su Qian and the others seriously. He tried to be polite first, then resorted to force. With a grab, the surrounding space distorted rapidly, and he instantly pulled Ye Qianqian into his grasp. He then said, "Great Elder Su Qian, I was wrong in this matter, but I must take this girl with me."

"Let go of Arale"

Xiao Yan was furious. Seeing Ye Qianqian being captured, he rushed towards Yun Shan without regard for his own safety.

Yun Shan sneered, flicked his finger, and sent Xiao Yan flying, crashing to the ground and spitting blood.

"Let's go!" After grabbing Ye Qianqian, Yun Shan and the others transformed into afterimages and flew out of the hall.

"Brother Xiao Yan, save me!"

"Teacher, save Arale!"

Ye Qianqian was captured by Yun Shan. Her eyes darted around, and she began to cry and shout. This cry immediately attracted the attention of all the students in the Inner Academy.

"Presumptuous!"

Su Qian roared loudly, and together with Elder Qianbai, Heavenly Fire Venerate, and others, they flew rapidly into the sky, determined to snatch Ye Qianqian back.

But Yun Shan has seven Dou Zun expert: Yun Yun, Medusa, Xiao Yi Xian, Na Lan Yan Ran Xie Biyan, and She Qingqing. Any one of them could easily defeat Su Qian and his group, so why would they take Su Qian seriously?

With a wave of her hand, Yun Yun caused the space to become extremely distorted, directly shocking Su Qian and the two elders, causing them to spit out blood. The other elders also fell from the sky like dumplings.

Xiao Yan, nicknamed "Arale," was furious. After swallowing a pill, he spread his Purple Cloud Wings and, with the help of Old Yao's power, slashed the Black Heavy Ruler fiercely at Yun Shan.

"A trivial skill, utterly unworthy of attention."

Yun Shan chuckled, opened his mouth wide, and casually blew a breath, sending Xiao Yan flying like a leaf, swirling wildly in the air before crashing to the ground again, suffering even more severe injuries.

"Arale, wait for me, I'll save you right away!" Xiao Yan, disheveled and covered in dirt, saw Ye Qianqian crying her eyes out and struggled to his feet.

"Brother Xiao Yan, Teacher, please don't worry about me! You're no match for them, please don't worry about me!" Ye Qianqian covered her face and sobbed, pleading with Yun Shan, "I'll go with you, please don't hurt Brother Xiao Yan and my teacher, I'll go with you!"

She cried out loudly again, "Brother Xiao Yan, teachers, students of the Jia Nan Academy, you are my... my dearest Arale at the Jia Nan Academy. This is where I, Arale, have spent the most wonderful time. I don't want my family to be hurt. I beg you, please leave me alone!"

Ye Qianqian's words moved countless students of the Jia Nan Academy. This little girl had lost both her parents at a young age and was all alone. Unexpectedly, she treated them as family.

Human hearts are made of flesh and blood. From this moment on, all the students wanted to rush up and rescue Ye Qianqian, but faced with such a powerful Dou Zun, they felt an indescribable sense of powerlessness.

"Ahhh..."

Xiao Yan roared wildly and charged towards Yun Shan once more.

This scene was both tragic and desolate, yet for the sake of his beloved, he could forget all his fears.

In an instant, Xiao Yan's infectious energy pulled the dejected scene back to its peak.

"I have already spared your life, but you have no self-awareness and continue to make trouble like this. Then you may die!"

Yun Shan was a ruthless character, far beyond the reach of ordinary people. He struck Xiao Yan a palm, intending to kill him on the spot.

"Teacher, no!"

"Grandmaster, stop immediately!"

"Yun Shan, don't hurt him."

Yun Yun, Na Lan Yan Ran, and Xiao Yi Xian hurriedly tried to stop him. Xiao Yan was someone they had a deep emotional connection with, so how could they let Yun Shan Xiao Yan kill him?

However, Yun Shan had already made his move, and it was too late to retract it. A gigantic azure wind-elemental palm slammed down on Xiao Yan, blotting out the sky.

"Holy crap, did I go a little too far?" Ye Qianqian was shocked. Yun Shan's palm strike was no joke. Even if Xiao Yan had the strongest cheat code, he would still be dead!

What to do?

Should she intervene and save Xiao Yan?

But that would ruin the plan!

Just as Ye Qianqian was about to make her move, she suddenly sensed a Saint-level expert appearing above Jia Nan Academy.

The powerful figure appeared and simply extended a finger, casually pointing downwards, shattering Yun Shan's palm print and successfully saving Xiao Yan.

"Who on earth is this powerful figure who dares to interfere with the affairs of my Misty Cloud Sect?" Yun Shan's pupils shrank sharply, realizing that the strength of the newcomer was beyond his imagination.

"Hehehe," the powerful figure chuckled, ignoring Yun Shan and instead looking at Su Qian and the two elders, Qianbai.

"Little Su Qian, Little Qian, Little Bai, how many years has it been? How come you guys are still stuck at the Dou Zong?!"

"Dean!"

Su Qian and the two elders' eyes lit up; it turned out that their Dean Mang Tianchi had returned.
