Reuniting with Xiao Yan

"Here's the Purple Spirit Crystal you wanted." During the flight, Lin Ming flipped his hand, and an irregularly shaped purple crystal and a heated crystal appeared in Lin Ming hand at the same time.

Then, as Lin Ming finished speaking, the two crystals headed towards Yun Yun.

"Lin Ming..." Yun Yun said anxiously as she looked at the two crystals that had come to her.

"Alright, accept it! As for the rest, go back to the valley and wait for me. I'll take care of some other things and then come back to the valley to meet you." Seeing Yun Yun speak, Lin Ming Yun Yun roughly what she wanted to say. So, just as Yun Yun called his name, Yun Yun Lin Ming interrupted her.

Watching Lin Ming descend and fly in another direction after speaking, Yun Yun stomped her feet angrily in mid-air. However, when she saw the crystal floating in front of her, Yun Yun turned her gaze back to the disappearing figure.

Then, with a sigh, Yun Yun put away the crystal, flapped her Green Wings, and immediately arrived at the edge of the sky before disappearing.

"Teacher, I didn't expect Lin Ming to be here too. Moreover, judging from the Lin Ming's roar that Lin Ming used on the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King just now, the lion's roar we heard on the outskirts of the Monster Mountain Range before was probably also made by Lin Ming." By a river, Xiao Yan looked at the storage Storage Ring on his hand and said.

"Teacher! Teacher!" After a moment, not receiving the expected reply, Xiao Yan called out to the ring on his finger.

"Oh! Little brother Xiao Yan, your teacher is here too?" Just as Xiao Yan finished speaking, a voice came from the forest. Then, to Xiao Yan's stunned gaze, a familiar young man walked out of the forest.

"Lin... Lin Ming! Big Brother Lin!" Seeing the person he had just been talking about suddenly appear, it took Xiao Yan a while to come to his senses, and he stammered out his name.

At the same time, Xiao Yan immediately understood why his teacher hadn't replied to him. It must be because he had discovered Lin Ming's arrival, which was why he had immediately suppressed his Soul Power and stored it in his ring to avoid being discovered by Lin Ming.

Xiao Yan had no idea why Lin Ming had come. So, upon seeing Lin Ming arrive, Xiao Yan outwardly wore a smile, but inwardly he was filled with vigilance.

"Little brother Xiao Yan, don't be nervous. I just happened to be passing by and sensed your presence, so I came down to say hello." Seeing Xiao Yan's wariness, Lin Ming said with a smile. Then, Lin Ming's voice came again. "By the way, little brother Xiao Yan, I just heard you calling for your teacher. Is your teacher here too?"

Upon hearing the first half of Lin Ming's sentence, Xiao Yan's guard was slightly lowered, but when Lin Ming spoke the second half, Xiao Yan's vigilance became even stronger.

However, after three years of decadent training, Xiao Yan had developed a composure that remained unperturbed by any adversity. So when Lin Ming asked again if his teacher was there, Xiao Yan's face instantly lit up with resentment as he complained to Lin Ming, "Hey! Big Brother Lin, what kind of teacher is this? He left me alone in the Monster Mountain Range, telling me to train on my own, and then he just disappeared! So, lately I've been complaining about him every now and then. And just now, Big Brother Lin heard me complaining. Big Brother Lin, you have to keep this a secret for me! Otherwise, if it gets back to the teacher, I'm afraid I'll get a real lecture."

Watching Xiao Yan perform so vividly, Lin Ming exclaimed inwardly, "Wow!"

With Xiao Yan's acting skills right now, if there were an award for Best Actor in the world, Xiao Yan definitely be the one. If he didn't know the truth, Lin Ming himself would think he would have been fooled by Xiao Yan's acting.

However, since Lin Ming knew the truth, Xiao Yan was destined to remain the younger brother. Therefore, watching Xiao Yan's performance, Lin Ming decided to play along for now.

After Xiao Yan finished speaking, Lin Ming immediately laughed twice and then assured him, "Haha! Little brother Xiao Yan, you're really mischievous! But don't worry about this, as your older brother, I will definitely keep it a secret for you."

"Then Xiao Yan Big Brother Lin Ming very much." After seeing Lin Ming's reply, Xiao Yan even pretended to clasp his hands and respectfully thanked Lin Ming.

Seeing Xiao Yan's expression, Lin Ming immediately laughed again. Then he said, "Haha, it's nothing! Little brother Xiao Yan, how long did your teacher let you train here? Didn't I remember you enrolled in the Jia Nan Academy? You've been away from the Jia Nan Academy for several months now, little brother Xiao Yan, aren't you planning to go?"

"Big Brother Lin, you must have heard about my affair with Nalan Yanran. That's why I'll be training outside before I go to the Misty Cloud Sect. After I resolve this matter, I'll go to the Jia Nan Academy. I had to negotiate with the teachers at the academy for quite a while before they agreed to give me a few years' leave." Xiao Yan replied to Lin Ming's question.

After Xiao Yan finished speaking, Lin Ming's admiring voice rang out, "Little brother Xiao Yan, of course I've heard about your sensational affair with Nalan Yanran. It's not really my place to comment on this matter. However, regarding your leave of absence from Xiao Yan Jia Nan Academy, you're the first person since the academy's founding to be able to request such a long leave immediately upon enrollment. As your senior, I have to admire you for Xiao Yan."

"Big Brother Lin, are you also a student of the Jia Nan Academy?" Lin Ming Xiao Yan asked Lin Ming as soon as he finished speaking.

"Yes! I only left Jia Nan Academy and returned to the Jia Ma Empire in the last two years." Lin Ming replied with a slight smile to Xiao Yan's question.

"Big Brother Lin, could you tell me about the Jia Nan Academy?" Xiao Yan asked immediately after receiving Lin Ming's reply.

After all, Lin Ming reached the Dou Wang realm at such a young age, and Lin Ming said that he only returned to the Jia Ma Empire in the last two years, so his cultivation level must have come from his training at the Jia Nan Academy.

Xiao Yan originally thought that Jia Nan Academy was just a group of children attending school, so how much resources could it possibly have? But now, seeing Lin Ming, Xiao Yan's opinion immediately changed, which is why he asked Lin Ming in this way.

"With your abilities, Xiao Yan, you'll be able to enter the core area of the Jia Nan Academy in the future. So, I'll give you a brief explanation."

"Jia Nan Academy is divided into the Inner Academy and Outer Academy. There's not much to say about the Outer Academy; everyone who enters Jia Nan Academy is an Outer Academy student. But the Inner Academy is only for the very best students from the Outer Academy Inner Academy, who can enter after passing an examination."

"Everyone who enters the Inner Academy is a genius. Brother Xiao Yan, tell me, with such a group of people competing together, how could their cultivation not improve quickly?"

Upon hearing Lin Ming's words, Xiao Yan swallowed hard, his eyes filled with uncontrollable longing.
