Jia Nan Academy's Mysterious Visitor

Four years after Xiao Lin joined Canaan Academy, and after spending two years peacefully in the academy, he was unexpectedly summoned by Elder Su Qian.

Knowing that Xiao Lin wouldn't call him unless there was an emergency, he didn't hesitate, put down what he was doing, and went straight to find First Elder Su Qian.

As for the Trial Grounds, after so much time has passed, he no longer needs to worry about them.

Even the rewards invested in those Formation are already handled by the Jia Nan Academy, so Xiao Lin doesn't need to use up his own reserves.

Xiao Lin's current identity is merely that of a guardian of the Trial Grounds.

At most, it's just those Formation that Xiao Lin needs to maintain regularly.

The Trial Grounds have now become an integral part of the entire Jia Nan Academy, complementing the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.

On weekdays, after cultivating in the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower for a period of time, some students would try to challenge the Trial Grounds in order to test their cultivation results.

If you are not strong enough and fail to pass the level, you will have to re-enter the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower to cultivate.

It must be said that the existence of the Trial Grounds provides the students of the Jia Nan Academy with more options!

In fact, the reputation of the Trial Grounds has begun to spread beyond the Jia Nan Academy!

As many people already know, Jia Nan Academy now not only has a Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, but also a Trial Grounds.

As a result, Jia Nan Academy, which boasts two such sacred cultivation sites, is attracting even more students!

This meant that even though First Elder Su Qian was extremely busy these days, his smile was practically reaching his ears.

But while they were happy, they were still getting down to business.

And recently, he encountered a major event.

With himself tied up Qian Bai Er Lao not taking any action, he had no choice but to ask Xiao Lin, the seemingly most idle Dou Zong in the Jia Nan Academy, for help.

Because what's about to happen is something even Dou Huang expert isn't qualified to participate in!

Soon, Xiao Lin arrived at the academy's office where First Elder Su Qian was located.

"First Elder, is there something you need from me? You know I'm very busy."

As soon as he entered the room, Xiao Lin began to complain.

As for whether he's genuinely busy or just pretending, only he knows.

He was just worried that the tasks First Elder Su Qian was about to assign him would be too troublesome.

First Elder Su Qian rolled his eyes as he listened to Xiao Lin's complaints.

How could he not know Xiao Lin?

A cultivation fanatic!

He believed that Xiao Lin was very busy a year ago.

After all, the Trial Grounds had just been opened up at that time, and Xiao Lin needed to personally oversee everything.

But now, Xiao Lin basically doesn't need to worry about the Trial Grounds anymore, so why would he be busy?

Therefore, First Elder Su Qian automatically ignored Xiao Lin's words.

Seeing that First Elder Su Qian remained unmoved, Xiao Lin shrugged and casually found a sofa to sit down.

Seeing this, First Elder Su Qian spoke up.

"Old Lin, there's something I need your help with."

After putting down a document that was under review, First Elder Su Qian spoke earnestly.

I knew it—

Xiao Lin muttered a complaint under his breath.

"Cough cough"

First Elder Su Qian also feigned embarrassment and coughed twice to cover up his guilty conscience.

"Speak, what is it this time that requires my intervention?"

Despite his complaints, since First Elder Su Qian had come to see him, it was clearly something important, and he wasn't someone who didn't know what was important and what was urgent.

Unless he's truly limited in ability, he can simply make the trip.

Is it possible for a piece of flesh to be missing from one's body?

"Don't rush, let me finish. I'm actually quite conflicted about this, but considering the benefits they promised us, I think we can agree to it."

First Elder Su Qian's opening remarks were completely nonsensical, leaving Xiao Lin utterly bewildered.

Therefore, as First Elder Su Qian finished speaking, Xiao Lin simply blinked and looked at him without saying a word.

Seeing Xiao Lin's bewildered eyes, First Elder Su Qian slapped his head sheepishly.

"Look at my memory! You've been holed up in the Trial Grounds for months, of course you don't know about this. Actually, not long ago, a guest visited our Jia Nan Academy."

What I'm about to say is also related to this mysterious guest.

First Elder Su Qian continued slowly.

"Oh? What kind of mysterious guest could cause you such distress, First Elder? I imagine this guest's identity must be quite extraordinary."

If I'm not mistaken, the other party's identity is at least that of a Dou Zong!

In First Elder Su Qian's office, Xiao Lin poured himself a cup of tea, took a small sip, and then looked at the other man with a meaningful expression.

After all, if it weren't for the involvement of experts at the Dou Zong or above, why would First Elder Su Qian have chosen to have him step in?

It should be noted that although the number of Dou Emperor in the entire Jia Nan Academy is not large, there are still quite a few, including many high-level Dou Huang expert.

Now that First Elder Su Qian has bypassed all the Dou Emperor Elder and come directly to him, if Xiao Lin doesn't have any guesses, he might as well buy a block of tofu and kill himself.

However, what the First Elder said next made Xiao Lin's guess only half right!

"No, you're not entirely right. That mysterious guest is not only involved with a powerful Dou Zong force, but is also a Dou Zong himself."

Behind their opponents, there are several Dou Zong!

First Elder Su Qian's words stunned Xiao Lin.

Although with his current strength, Dou Zong is as easy as beating a dog, and he is confident that he can easily suppress even several Dou Zong working together.

However, in the Northwest Continent, a force with several Dou Zong is definitely at the top level!

Just like Jia Nan Academy, where Xiao Lin is currently located, there are still three Dou Zong after excluding Dean Mang Tianchi and Xiao Lin!

In other words, the mysterious visitor mentioned by First Elder Su Qian is likely backed by a force no less powerful than Jia Nan Academy.

Throughout the entire Northwest Continent, those whose power is no less than that of the Jia Nan Academy are absolutely few and far between.

At that moment, Xiao Lin's mind raced.

Before long, the name of a certain power came to mind.

"People from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion?"

Setting down his teacup, Xiao Lin looked at First Elder Su Qian and asked indifferently.

"No, it's not the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, it's the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family!"

As Xiao Lin finished speaking, First Elder Su Qian uttered a name that Xiao Lin never expected!
