Heading to Canaan

"Father, take care!" Xiao Yan said, his eyes slightly red as he looked at the tall, middle-aged man in front of him, his voice choked with emotion.

This parting is now, and I don't know when we'll meet again. Perhaps by then I'll have made a name for myself in the Central Plains!

"You brat, remember to make a name for yourself at Canaan Institute and in Central Plains, don't embarrass the Xiao Clan."

Xiao Zhan said seriously.

"Yes!"

"Go quickly. If you encounter any trouble in the Black-Corner Region, you can go find your second brother. That kid should have the strength of a Dou Zong by now, and I believe he can still help you," Xiao Zhan instructed.

"Second brother?" Xiao Yan murmured, looking down. A slight smile appeared on his lips. He hadn't seen his unreliable second brother in a long time and missed him dearly!

"However, there is still something that urgently needs to be dealt with." Xiao Zhan's tone was somewhat meaningful.

"Hmm?" A question mark slowly appeared above Xiao Yan's head.

"Have you and that girl Yun Yun figured out what to do in the future?"

Xiao Zhan froze at Xiao Yan's words, his face turning slightly red. He was quite embarrassed to be teased by his own father!

"Father, why are you talking about such things?"

However, Xiao Yan still grinned foolishly and said, "Yun'er said she'll be waiting for me in Central Plains."

"Boom!" Xiao Zhan was shocked, while Xiao Yan looked at the cracked floor at the foot of Yun Shan in horror, and then glanced at Yun Shan, who was expressionless at the moment.

"You two continue, I won't disturb you any longer," Yun Shan said, leaving the father and son without another word.

"That little rascal, he even called Yun'er by his name, how outrageous!" Yun Shan said through gritted teeth when they reached a secluded spot.

Although he had long accepted that his apprentice would be taken away by Xiao, he still found it hard to bear being shown off like this in front of everyone!

After Yun Shan left, Xiao Zhan looked at the trembling Xiao Yan with a mocking expression:

"Yan Er, if you don't work hard at your cultivation, you might very well get beaten to death by your father-in-law."

"Practice diligently!"

Xiao Yan patted Xiao Zhan Yan on the shoulder and said gloatingly.

"Hmm." Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Xiao Yan nodded silently. He couldn't stop moving forward so that he could marry Yun'er with peace of mind.

However, just as Xiao Yan was mentally encouraging himself, Xiao Zhan dealt him a heavy blow.

"Yan Er, it's better to talk to Xun Er about some things at a suitable time. Don't keep things hidden, it's not good for either of you."

Xiao Yan nodded solemnly. He hadn't been sticking to that person all these past few days; he had also considered this "landmine."

Xiao Yan knew that Xun Er was a very proud girl. He was already incredibly lucky to have won Xun Er favor and have her stay with him through thick and thin.

Moreover, he was the one who made the mistake first. Although it was somewhat unexpected, matters of the heart are not something Xiao Yan can control, but falling in love with someone else is still his fault.

Forcibly concealing it is merely wishful thinking on Xiao Yan's part. He knows very well that this matter cannot be hidden for long. Rather than dragging it out until the end, it is better to confess in advance and honestly await judgment.

Although Xiao Zhan also wanted another daughter- Xun Er, he didn't know if Xun Er could tolerate Xiao Yan's behavior of enjoying the blessings of having two wives.

All I can say is that I will try my best to make amends. One aspect of this is that I must be sincere in my attitude. Another aspect depends on Xiao Yan's charm.

Speaking of Xiao Zhan, he was really worried. They, as elders, were extremely concerned about Xiao Yan's situation.

But he was his own son, so he couldn't kill him.

"Alright, I believe you can solve this problem well." Xiao Zhan saw Xiao Yan's predicament and comforted him.

"However, you should be careful of the little snake in your hand." Xiao Zhan gestured with his eyes to the Seven-Colored Little Snake wrapped around Xiao Yan's forearm. In his perception, the little snake seemed to have two souls.

If Xiao Yan hadn't taken any precautions, he might have lost his life in the blink of an eye!

"Father, I will be careful." Xiao Yan knew exactly what this thing was, so he naturally wouldn't take it lightly.

"It's getting late," Xiao Zhan waved his hand. "Let's get going!"

Xiao Yan's lips twitched. Set off? Why did he have such a bad feeling? But he didn't delay and quickly turned to leave.

Somewhere in Yun Lan Mountain, a figure in green robes gazed at Xiao Yan's departing figure. As if remembering something, a blush involuntarily rose on her face.

Unbeknownst to her, in the shadows, a beautiful figure looked at Yun Yun's location with a complex expression, "Teacher..."

The injury Nalan Yanran sustained during the Three-Year Agreement was not serious and she recovered quickly.

Although Yun Yun deliberately avoided other people's gaze when she met with someone these past few days, her unusual behavior was as conspicuous as a firefly in the night sky in the eyes of Nalan Yanran, who was also a woman, and it was not difficult for her to notice.

Nalan Yanran felt bitter about her teacher being with Xiao Yan.

This is what they got for their own actions! Nalan Yanran thought to herself.

She was the one who took the initiative to break off the engagement, and she was also the one who spoke rudely, causing the relationship between the two to reach a freezing point. How can she expect to make up for the mistakes of the past?

Black-Corner Region.

Xiao Gate.

Xiao Li, who was reclining in his seat looking at the letter in his hand, suddenly sat up and exclaimed in surprise, "Little Yanzi is actually coming to the Black-Corner Region!"

"Hahaha~" Xiao Li chuckled, "I wonder if this Little Yanzi can make a name for himself in this Black-Corner Region."

Xiao Li is now just watching the show and enjoying the chaos. Ever since he came to the chaotic Black-Corner Region a few years ago and founded the Xiao Gate, there have been a lot of clueless guys coming to cause trouble.

Unfortunately, none of them were strong enough, and after Xiao Li ruthlessly eliminated wave after wave of challengers.

Finally, for the past two years, no one has dared to provoke Xiao Li. However, although things have become much more peaceful, it has been a source of great suffering for the ever-unruly Xiao Li.

Having not fought with anyone for a long time, Xiao Li was itching for a fight and was thinking of causing trouble for some forces when the news that his little brother was coming soon dispelled his idea.

"I wonder if this kid will ever come to see his second brother," Xiao Li muttered.

"However, we should still send a copy of this message to my cousin Xun Er!" Xiao Li.

"She still can't forget Little Yanzi!"

"Someone come here!"

Canaan Institute.

On the tranquil mountain peak, a figure in green robes gazed in the direction of the Jia Ma Empire, a deep longing flashing in his eyes.

"Judging by the time, our Three-Year Agreement should be coming to an end by now!" The girl revealed a smile that could eclipse the heavens and earth.

"Xiao Yan Gege is almost here!"

With a soft tinkling sound, a figure in black wearing an eagle-beak mask emerged from the shadow of a nearby stone pillar.

Ling Ying knelt on one knee, holding up a letter. "Miss, Young Master Xiao Li has sent a message."

Xun Er immediately turned around, Yanran, "Has Second Brother Xiao Li sent a message? It must be about Xiao Yan Gege!"

He snatched the letter away with a speed that even Ling Ying couldn't react to.

Ling Ying was already used to this. Xun Er had tried to have Ling Ying follow Xiao Yan and protect him.

However, the Xiao Clan did not appreciate it. As soon as they sent Ling Ying over, Xiao Wufa and his companion beat her up.

Then, Ling Ying could only return to Xun Er's side. It just so happened that Xiao Li had been staying in the Black-Corner Region, and he had been paying close attention to this woman whom his family collectively recognized as their Xiao Clan -Xiao Li.

They would send over news about Xiao Yan from time to time, while Ling Ying acted as a messenger between the two sides.

If nothing unexpected happens, this time it will undoubtedly be news about Xiao Yan again.

As expected, Xun Er was overjoyed after reading the letter, clutching the letter tightly in her hand.

"Xiao Yan Gege is finally coming."
