I, Xiao Yan, Want Them All!

"You don't need to worry about it!" Xiao Yan said fiercely, "Anyway, I decided back then that I would propose marriage after breaking through to the Dou Wang!"

Heh! Anyway, once you get to the Jia Nan Academy, the teachers will tell it as a joke! Huo Yuhao sneered, "So what do you plan to do? And how are you going to explain this to Xun'er?"

After a moment of silence on the other end of the Spirit Artifact, Xiao Yan's resolute voice came through. "I will not shirk my responsibility! But Xun'er— "

I will never give up!

Huo Yuhao chuckled lightly, "Alright, I hope you can survive!"

"Come on!" Xiao Yan immediately changed the subject, his voice becoming smug again. "By the way, my strength has now surpassed yours! You can just stay at the Jia Nan Academy and wait to be my little brother! Haha!"

Huo Yuhao drawled out the words, laced with teasing. "Oh--? You're not poor anymore, kid? You've got a big tail now! Well, then I, your older brother—"

Good luck!

After saying that, Huo Yuhao decisively hung up the Spirit Artifact.

Jia Ma Imperial City, Mittel Auction House, Xiao Yan's guest room.

"Hehe! Xiao Yan, what are you hiding?" Yao Chen closed his eyes and spread his hands. "That girl Xian'er will also..."

He Huo Yuhao said it!

"How dare you say that!" Xiao Yan's veins bulged as he forcefully threw the communication pendant, hitting Yao Chen on the head and quickly raising a large bump. "If it weren't for your big mouth, how would Xiao Yi Xian have known!"

"Waaaaah! You hit your master! I'm ignoring you!" Yao Chen pulled out a white handkerchief from somewhere, bit it in his mouth, and tears streamed down his face. "Next time you Fused Heavenly Flame, won't you still be affected by the Evil Fire? It's the same whether I say it or not!"

Xiao Yan suppressed the urge to punch Yao Chen in the face, "Stop crying, you weird old man! And why didn't you remind me that Yun Yun has been following me!"

Yao Chen put away the handkerchief, and her tears and the bump on her head immediately disappeared.

"How could I, your teacher, bear to stop that girl from bravely pursuing love!" Yao Chen took out a drink, inserted a straw, and said, "Besides, what will you do if she's not here?"

Slurp!

He took a big sip, revealing a comical smile, "Could it be that you, Xiao Yan, prefer Hai Bodong? Have you developed feelings for him over time?"

"Shut up, you old geezer!" Xiao Yan's face turned bright red, and with his hair, which had been burned by the Heavenly Flames and hadn't grown back yet, he looked exactly like a peeled watermelon.

Hearing Yao Chen slurping his drink, Xiao Yan could no longer contain himself. He jumped up from the bed and pounced on Yao Chen.

Boom! The moment Xiao Yan's body touched Yao Chen, Yao Chen's soul became illusory, and Xiao Yan passed right through it, smashing into the door and crashing down along with it into the corridor outside the guest room.

"Oh dear! I've been expending too much of my Soul Power lately, and my soul is unstable!" Yao Chen covered his mouth and chuckled inside the room, still making slurping noises as he drank his beverage.

Just as Xiao Yan rubbed his bleeding nose and looked up, thud! A pair of long legs clad in black stockings and high heels unexpectedly came into view.

"Young Master Xiao Yan, what are you doing lying here!" Ya Fei covered her mouth, her voice full of laughter.

Xiao Yan immediately buried his head back. From this angle, if he were to raise his head while bleeding from the nose, even the last bit of his dignity would be gone.

"It's too hot inside! Your Mittel Auction House didn't even suggest installing air conditioning! I've decided to sleep on the floor outside today!"

"Pfft!" Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Ya Fei couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Then I won't disturb Young Master Xiao Yan's Ya Fei any longer. I wish you success in winning the heart of your beauty tomorrow!"

"What the heck!" Xiao Yan exclaimed in shock, suddenly raising his head. "How did you know that?!"

The moment Xiao Yan looked up, he immediately realized something was wrong, but it was too late to look down.

"Young Master Xiao Yan is such a lecher! He's already won the favor of Sect Master Yun, yet he still gets nosebleeds from Ya Fei!" Ya Fei lowered her eyes, covered her face with her hands, but deliberately showed her slightly flushed cheeks, her voice carrying a hint of a lisp.

"Um, Sister Ya Fei, you've misunderstood—"

Xiao Yan was shocked and was about to explain when Ya Fei squatted down, took out a printed handkerchief, and gently wiped away the blood from Xiao Yan's nose.

"But your Sister Ya Fei isn't annoying!"

"I, I----" A faint fragrance drifted into Xiao Yan's voice, making him speechless. He could only change the subject. "Um, how did Sister Ya Fei know about my schedule for tomorrow? Did that old bastard Hai Bodong tell you?"

"You guessed right!" Ya Fei took out a flyer from her Storage Ring and handed it to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan immediately took it and looked at it closely:

<Shocking! The Cloud Misty Cloud Sect is already taken! A commoner boy is living off his girlfriend!> For all details, please Mittel Auction House!

Slap! Xiao Yan smeared the entire flyer on his face.

On the other side, Huo Yuhao put away his Spirit Artifact and headed straight for the conference room in the academy's office building. The moment he pushed open the door, all the academy's senior officials, including Hu Gan and Wu Tian, who were discussing matters, focused their attention on him.

"Hello everyone, it's been a long time! Oh, Elder Su Qian is here too." Huo Yuhao greeted them.

When the powerful aura of Peak Dou Wang emanating from Huo Yuhao was sensed, the entire conference room fell silent instantly, with only a collective gasp escaping from the crowd. The elders' hands, holding their teacups, froze, and the tea spilled slightly.

"Elder Huo—Elder Huo?" Hu Gan's voice trembled, his eyes filled with disbelief. How long had it been? He went out for a short while and came back to have jumped from Dou Ling to the Peak Dou Wang?!

Wu Tian reacted the fastest. After a brief moment of shock, his eyes blazed with intense fighting spirit! He slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly, rubbing his hands excitedly and grinning, "Good! Good! Good! Chief! After the meeting, you must spar with Old Wu! You could hold your own against Peak Dou Emperor during the Dou Ling era, and now that you're Peak Dou Wang, Dou Zong is a piece of cake, right? Haha!"

Huo Yuhao waved his hand helplessly and sat down in the main seat. "We can talk about the sparring later. Has anything major happened at the academy while I was away?"

When the topic turned to business, Hu Gan's excitement subsided, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Yes! Those bastards from Demon Flame Valley and Black Emperor Sect have been making frequent moves while you, Chief, are away and the Qian Lao Bai Lao in seclusion! They're constantly provoking our academy!"

Wu Tian's eyes turned cold. "We suspect they have an inside agent within the academy!"

Before Wu Tian could voice his suspicions, Huo Yuhao's divine sense had already swept over every elder present, keenly detecting their emotional fluctuations. After a moment, his expression softened slightly—nothing seemed amiss.

"At least none of you here would do that," Huo Yuhao said. "Only the elders know that Bai Lao and Qian Lao are in seclusion."

Hu Gan nodded. "It should just be a coincidence! The other side has gathered a group of lone wolf powerhouses from the Black-Corner Region, formed an alliance, and openly opposed my Jia Nan Academy. I'm afraid the Soul Hall's Iron Protector and Han Feng are behind it all!"
