Visiting Supreme Elder Lin!

Xiao Yan and his companions finally entered the Inner Academy successfully.

Life in the Inner Academy was indeed just as he had imagined, very different from that in the Outer Academy!

Leaving aside other aspects, the competitive atmosphere there is something that the Outer Academy can't compare to.

Fortunately, Xiao Yan was strong enough to keep things under control and quickly adapted.

However, Xiao Yan adapted quickly, while the other freshmen were not so lucky.

Sure enough, they had barely entered the Inner Academy when a group of senior students came up to "set rules."

Things like protection fees and forcing new students to join their factions are just a few examples.

In light of this, Xiao Yan subsequently established his own faction – the Pan Gate!

They were all old classmates, Xiao Yan clearly wanted to help these new students.

Although they had only been classmates for about three months.

Having experienced the Fire Energy Hunting Competition, most of the freshmen in this year's class have faith in Xiao Yan.

Therefore, after Xiao Yan established the Pan Gate, most of the new students chose to join.

After the new students, led by Xiao Yan, united as one, the oppression they faced from the upperclassmen gradually disappeared.

This further enhanced Xiao Yan's prestige among the new students!

However, Xiao Yan, as those who know, know; he's the kind of person who likes to be a hands-off manager.

In addition, he's not particularly good at management.

Therefore, the task of managing Pan Gate fell to Xun'er and Nalan Yanran.

One of the women is the Young Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect, and the other was forced by her clan to learn various knowledge, including management, from a young age, so she is naturally very adept at it.

Moreover, both women wanted to help Xiao Yan, so they didn't refuse.

Gradually, in just about a month, Xiao Yan led the new students to establish a firm foothold in the Inner Academy.

Seeing that the Pan Gate was developing better and better, and that he no longer needed to worry about the other new students, Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, he finally has time to start thinking about his own affairs.

On this day, Xiao Yan summoned Xun'er and Nalan Yanran, who had just finished dealing with various matters concerning Pan Gate.

"Xun'er, Yanran, now that Pan Gate has developed, there's something I think we should do!"

Xiao Yan looked at the two women in front of him with unusual seriousness and said.

"How dare you say that? Isn't it Xun'er and I who manage everything at Pan Gate? What could you possibly do? You're practically Pan Gate's mascot!"

Nalan Yanran rolled her eyes at Xiao Yan before speaking.

Even though she likes Xiao Yan, Nalan Yanran's personality dictates that she won't act as gently and tenderly as Xun'er.

To put it bluntly, Nalan Yanran is just too proud and arrogant!

Perhaps what Nalan Yanran preferred was the feeling of her complaining and then Xiao Yan comforting her...

"Haha, everyone has their own expertise, right? I just trust your abilities, Yanran! With you here, I feel very reassured!"

Having spent a lot of time with Nalan Yanran, Xiao Yan naturally knew how to handle her.

And so, Xiao Yan said those words without the slightest bit of embarrassment.

"Idiot, you fool, what are you worried about? Even if you say that, I... I won't be happy..."

Sure enough, the next second, Nalan Yanran blushed.

As for what she said, it was clearly sarcasm.

Sure enough, even though her cheeks were flushed, the upturned smile on her lips was impossible to suppress.

Watching her Brother Xiao Yan interact with Nalan Yanran, Xun'er's cheeks puffed up without her realizing it.

Even though they're engaged, they can't do this in front of me, can they?

Does Nalan Yanran act as if she doesn't exist?

"Cough cough~"

Without any hesitation, the Eldest Miss of the Gu Clan feigned a cough and decisively stepped between the two, interrupting the suddenly ambiguous atmosphere.

"Brother Xiao Yan, tell me quickly what we should do! Xun'er is really looking forward to it!"

The Eldest Miss of the Gu Clan said with a bright smile.

Seeing Xun'er's "I'm getting anxious" look, Nalan Yanran suddenly revealed a triumphant expression.

It could be said that the more anxious the Eldest Miss of the Gu Clan was, the happier Nalan Yanran was!

Watching the two women's "open and covert struggle," Xiao Yan felt slightly helpless.

He's not someone who can easily take sides.

Because if you take sides, things will get really serious!

Therefore, his only option was to pretend he knew nothing.

Besides, right now, it's more important to get down to business.

Otherwise, he would probably witness the two women's daily banter once again.

"Actually, what I'm talking about should have been done when we entered the Inner Academy, but because we had to take care of the other freshmen in our year, it's been delayed until now..."

As he spoke, Xiao Yan clearly felt a little embarrassed.

After all, he had been dragging his feet on the matter he was talking about for a month.

At the same time, Xun'er and Nalan Yanran, after a moment of stunned silence, immediately realized what was happening.

For the past month, they've been busy helping Xiao Yan manage the Pan Gate, and they've completely forgotten about that matter!

Clearly, both women had already guessed what Xiao Yan was talking about.

"Brother Xiao Yan, let's go together!"

As she spoke, Xun'er came to Xiao Yan's side and took his hand.

This time, however, it was Nalan Yanran's turn to be unhappy!

"I said, fine, I'll go. Who gave you permission to hold hands with my fiancé?"

Nalan Yanran then decisively brought Xiao Yan to her side.

"Brother Xiao Yan and I have been like this since we were little, do you have a problem with that? You're an outsider!"

Xun'er was not to be outdone!

Then, Xiao Yan, looking utterly hopeless, was pulled back and forth by the two women right in the middle.

"Xun'er, Yanran, we..."

And so, Xiao Yan was pulled away from his Residence by the two women, one on each side.

When the others from Pan Gate saw this scene, they all whispered and chuckled to themselves.

Clearly, they had seen this scene frequently during their time at the Outer Academy.

Finally, Xiao Yan and the two women, still pulling and tugging at each other, arrived at their destination amidst the envious glances of passersby.

"Is this the Trial Grounds?"

Looking at the unremarkable Bamboo Grove before him, Xiao Yan couldn't help but speak.

What appeared before the three of them was this Bamboo Grove.

However, one could vaguely see a Pavilion deep within the Bamboo Grove.

"It is said that this Trial Grounds was created by humans decades ago! Before that, Jia Nan Academy did not have such a place Trial Grounds."

Xun'er then shared the information she had gathered.

"Don't be fooled by how ordinary this Bamboo Grove looks now. Once we step inside, nobody knows what we'll encounter!"

Nalan Yanran added.

At this moment, the three of them could see students continuously entering the Bamboo Grove.

Of course, this Bamboo Grove can be entered from any direction.

The reason these students entered was precisely to challenge the Trial Grounds!

This small Bamboo Grove contains hundreds of Formations!

These Formations are filled with all sorts of opportunities, including Medicinal Pill, Cultivation Method, Dou Technique, and even Fire Energy as rewards.

If you're lucky, these things can be obtained by someone.

Furthermore, I've heard that those who manage to break into the central Pavilion will receive an extra reward...

The reason why Xiao Yan and his two companions came here today is to pay a visit to the master of this place - Supreme Elder Lin of the Jia Nan Academy!
