Xun'er's final moments
After giving instructions to Zuo He and other Leadership members of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, Xiao Lin regained his composure and returned to the Jia Nan Academy.
He didn't need to worry too much about the aftermath of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace.
His primary concern now is to improve his own strength and try to release the old Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun as soon as possible!
Meanwhile, several more months passed.
During this period, Xiao Yan's strength continued to break through, and he successively defeated Liu Qing, who was ranked third on the Inner Academy's Strong Ranking, and Lin Xiuya was ranked second.
As for him, he has already broken through to the level of an eight- Dou Wang!
This was less than two years after he entered Jia Nan Academy.
It can be said that Xiao Yan's talent is gradually being revealed!
Right now, Xiao Yan is waiting for an opportunity to meet the "Brute Force King" who is ranked number one on the Inner Academy's Strong Ranking!
He was very confident that he would soon reach the top of the Inner Academy's Strong Ranking.
He had no idea what he was about to face, since he had almost never had any contact with Zi Yan in this life.
Before receiving part of the inheritance from the old Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun, Zi Yan was already at the Peak Dou Emperor.
Who knows what level she'll reach when she wakes up again!
Even if this is only a partial inheritance, the improvements are still considerable.
I wonder what kind of expression he will have when he truly faces Zi Yan and learns about Zi Yan cultivation level?
After all, Zi Yan was most "interested" in these overconfident guys!
With just a "light" punch, she can show anyone who challenges her why the flowers bloom so red.
Xiao Yan is currently unaware of all of this.
This day marked the seventh day since Xiao Yan defeated Lin Xiuya and climbed to second place on the Inner Academy's Strong Ranking.
Originally, Xiao Yan was planning when to challenge the number one on the Strong Ranking, but Xun'er suddenly came to his door.
There was a knock on the door.
"Brother Xiao Yan, are you there?"
A familiar voice came from outside the door and reached Xiao Yan's ears.
"Crunch"
Without any hesitation, Xiao Yan opened the door.
Sunlight streamed in, and a pretty girl stood at the doorway.
Even though Xiao Yan had seen this face many times before, he was still captivated at this moment.
After a slight moment of surprise, Xiao Yan finally reacted, showing no embarrassment whatsoever, and instead flashed a big smile.
"Xun'er, why are you up so early again today?"
Xiao Yan asked instinctively.
When Xiao Yan asked about it, Xun'er's heart skipped a beat, and her brows drooped.
"Hmm? Xun'er, what's wrong?"
Seeing that Xun'er was silent and didn't seem very interested, Xiao Yan asked again with concern.
Having spent so much time together, Xiao Yan could roughly guess the meaning behind the girl's every move.
Just like now, even though Xun'er didn't say anything, Xiao Yan could sense her depressed mood.
"It's nothing, Brother Xiao Yan. Could you accompany me for a walk around today?"
At this moment, Xiao Yan could hear a hint of pleading in Xun'er's tone.
Let alone Xiao Yan, who wouldn't refuse Xun'er in the first place, looking at her watery eyes right now, I doubt any man would have the heart to refuse her, right?
"Good!"
Xiao Yan's answer was just one simple word.
As Xiao Yan finished speaking, Xun'er's eyebrows suddenly curved into a smile.
It's clear she's very happy right now.
However, the hidden sorrow between her brows was still so obvious!
Then, the two walked out of the courtyard side by side.
Along the way, members of the Pan Gate greeted the two of them.
Xiao Yan and Xun'er nodded in response with smiles.
Everything seems to be the same as usual!
But a strange feeling still arose in Xiao Yan's heart.
However, he refrained from asking his questions aloud for the time being.
Just as Xiao Yan and Xun'er were about to step out of Pan Gate's encampment, a girl with Pink-Haired and a sword always in her hand was quietly watching their backs from a corner of the back courtyard.
No need to look anymore, this girl is none other than Nalan Yanran.
Unlike usual, whenever she saw this situation, she would always step in and intervene.
After all, Xun'er's actions were tantamount to seducing her fiancé; how could she tolerate it?
However, remembering Xun'er's request to her a few days earlier, Nalan Yanran ultimately softened her heart.
So this time, she simply watched quietly and did not choose to follow.
"Hmph, since you're about to leave, I'll let you off this time!"
After muttering something to herself, Nalan Yanran turned and left.
She was going to practice swordsmanship to forget her current troubles!
It was easy to tell from Nalan Yanran's whisper that she knew about Xun'er's worries...
Meanwhile, Xiao Yan and Xun'er, the young couple, were already strolling through the Inner Academy of the Jia Nan Academy.
Both of them were popular students at the Jia Nan Academy, so naturally they became a sight to behold wherever they went.
Xun'er was also enjoying the moment.
But soon, she will have to say goodbye to this kind of life.
Originally, she thought she would be able to accompany her Brother Xiao Yan to graduation.
But it seems she can't do it now...
Thinking of this, Xun'er's originally bright mood dimmed somewhat.
"Xun'er, can you tell me what happened?"
Just then, Xiao Yan's voice rang in Xun'er's ear.
"... Brother Xiao Yan, was I that obvious?"
After a moment of silence, Xun'er smiled wryly and asked in return.
"Little girl, all your feelings are written on your face! Besides, you've never been a good liar since you were little, have you?"
Xiao Yan smiled somewhat helplessly, then suddenly stopped and reached out his index finger to gently stroke Xun'er's delicate nose.
"Brother Xiao Yan, I'm not a little kid anymore, you can't call me 'little girl' anymore!"
Although Xun'er was happy about Xiao Yan's affectionate gesture, she still pouted slightly, somewhat dissatisfied with how he addressed her.
Where is she "small"?
Thinking of this, Xun'er subconsciously puffed out her chest.
However, with a chest as flat as an airport runway, even a crying baby would probably spit out milk foam upon seeing it!
Xun'er's competitive little actions surprised even Xiao Yan.
Fortunately, Xiao Yan's emotional intelligence wasn't so low that he said something like, "They're quite pretty even when they're small."
Otherwise, the Eldest Miss of the Gu Clan would probably break down on the spot!
"Okay, okay, Brother Xiao Yan won't call Xun'er that anymore, is that alright?"
Shaking his head, Xiao Yan's tone was filled with doting affection.
Sure enough, Xun'er flashed a bright smile again the next second.
But the earlier topic had already been started, and it seems impossible to ignore it now.
However, this is precisely the last thing the Eldest Miss of the Gu Clan wants to consider right now...
