Seeking Relatives
The fact that the Soul Hall was preparing to fully infiltrate the Jia Ma Empire was unknown to others, and even if they knew, they wouldn't care. They had already cleared out most of the things that needed to be cleared out, and the rest was just for others to see.
Xiao Han, however, was even less concerned. He was currently busy taking a certain old dragon, who was around ten thousand years old, to Canaan Institute to meet his relatives.
Above the Black-Corner Region.
"Your Excellency, are you sure His Highness of the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe is here?" Candle Flame frowned as he sensed the scene below.
Upon first meeting, Candle Flame's initial impression of the Black-Corner Region was one of chaos; disorder and confusion best described the Black-Corner Region.
He couldn't believe that His Highness the Void Ancient Dragon of the Void would condescend to be here.
"Feel it for yourself. You Void Ancient Dragon should have similar sensations, right?" Xiao Han didn't waste any words and directly reminded him.
"Oh, right!" Candle Flame suddenly realized, his excitement had made him forget about that.
They quickly used their clan's Secret Method to carefully sense the surroundings. They had tried before, but to no avail.
But this time it's clearly different!
According to the bloodline perception of the Candle Flame, there is indeed the bloodline of the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe in a certain place in the Black-Corner Region, and it is as conspicuous as a lighthouse in the dark night, even carrying an innate pressure.
"That's right, we found it, we found it..." Old Man Huo said repeatedly, tears streaming down his face.
"What, do you believe me now?" Xiao Han glanced at the Candle Flame with annoyance. The other party had asked him countless times in the past month, and it was simply too annoying.
"Many thanks to Your Excellency, Ice Saint. Our clan will forever remember your kindness to the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe the Void! If needed in the future, our Void Ancient Dragon Tribe will certainly do our utmost to assist Langya Pavilion," said Candle Flame solemnly.
Now that the true Royal Bloodline has been found, as long as he brings that prince back to Eastern Dragon Island and raises him properly, one day he will surely unify the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe and restore its former glory.
"You're overjoyed just like that?" Xiao Han asked with a strange expression.
"Of course, do you have any other questions?" Candle Flame asked curiously. The Void Ancient Dragon Tribe already has an emperor, isn't that enough for an old minister like him?
"It's nothing!" Xiao Han felt that he should wait a while before talking about Zhu Kun, otherwise he was worried that Candle Flame's blood pressure would be too high and he would die.
"Come with me!" Xiao Han had only asked Zhu Huo to carefully sense the Candle Flame to put Zhu Huo at ease, but naturally, the task of leading the way was left to Xiao Han, who was very familiar with the area.
The Candle Flame had no objections; everything was for the sake of seeing His Highness as soon as possible.
The Inner Academy of Canaan.
The token on Xiao Lin's body flashed, and he finally walked out of the courtyard after a long absence.
"Are they here?"
Xiao Lin's figure vanished instantly, and then he found Zi Yan urging Xiao Yan to get to work.
The moment Xiao Lin saw Zi Yan, her face turned pale, while Xiao Yan and the others stared blankly, confused and puzzled. Who was this?
"Old... Old Lin, what are you doing here?" Zi Yan asked, trembling. Could it be that she stole too many medicinal herbs from the Medicine Repository a few days ago and was reported by those old fogies again?
Su Qian was always busy with affairs and couldn't take care of Zi Yan at all. Therefore, whenever the latter caused trouble, the elders of the inner courtyard would all come to find Xiao Lin, the second guardian.
Xiao Lin didn't tolerate Zi Yan's habit of taking things without permission and always gave her a lecture.
Over time, Zi Yan developed an instinctive reaction: whenever Xiao Lin took the initiative to come out of the courtyard and approach her, she would assume that he was there to teach her a lesson.
However, this was only true for Zi Yan. Everyone else had long heard of the mysterious Elder Lin in front of them, and now they were finally able to meet him in person.
Xiao Yan was even more surprised that Zi Yan, this fearless little Demon King, was like a mouse before a cat in front of this old man.
And for some reason, he always felt a familiar warmth towards this serious-looking old man.
"Little girl, come with me!" Xiao Lin didn't give Zi Yan any chance to slip away. He appeared beside her mysteriously and grabbed her by the back of the neck.
Zi Yan struggled violently, crying out to the others in anguish, "Xiao Yan... come and save me!"
My heart is broken!
Upon hearing Zi Yan's words, Xiao Yan and the others quickly stepped aside, keeping their eyes down and pretending not to know anything.
"Alright, behave yourself!" Xiao Lin slapped Zi Yan on the head. Then he tossed a Storage Ring to Xiao Yan, who caught it with a bewildered expression.
Xiao Lin vanished from everyone's sight, leaving behind a voice in Xiao Yan's ear:
"This little girl Zi Yan has caused you quite a bit of trouble, hasn't she? Consider these things a thank you gift for taking care of Zi Yan."
A thank-you gift? Xiao Yan quickly glanced inside the Storage Ring, then gasped, a surge of joy welling up inside him, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face:
"Hehe... hehehe..."
Xun Er, who was standing to the side, looked worried, wondering if Elder Lin had used some kind of mental attack on Xiao Yan.
Xiao Lin delivered a bunch of things perfectly without arousing any suspicion.
Meanwhile, Zi Yan was taken directly to Xiao Lin's courtyard and put down.
"Old Lin, what do you want to do?" Zi Yan pitifully covered her head, bracing herself for the lecture that was about to begin.
However, to Zi Yan's surprise, Xiao Lin did not take out the large Disciplinary Ruler he used to discipline her this time.
Instead, they suddenly said to her, "Your people have been found."
"Old Lin, what did you say?" Zi Yan lowered her hand and asked with a puzzled look, "Clan members?"
"Yes!" Xiao Lin replied expressionlessly. "Your people will come to see you soon. Whether you stay or leave is up to you."
"Our clansmen? "Zi Yan fell silent, a rare occurrence for her.
Zi Yan is usually carefree and gets into trouble everywhere, but that doesn't mean she's stupid. On the contrary, she has a clever mind.
Aside from Su Qian and Xiao Lin, she didn't really make any friends at Canaan Institute. Xiao Yan, whom she had just met recently, could be considered one.
But Zi Yan was also wondering why she was born in the mountains of the Black-Corner Region. Where were her parents? Where were her relatives?
Her fervent pursuit of medicinal herbs was also driven by the desire to grow up as quickly as possible and gain enough strength to search for her elusive relatives.
Now, Xiao Lin tells her that her clansmen have been found?
Zi Yan was now confused. Was she really ready?
Seeing Zi Yan's inner turmoil, Xiao Lin softened his tone and patted her head. "Don't think too much about it. You can meet her first, and whether you acknowledge her or not, you can decide later!"
"Hmm." Zi Yan quickly reverted to her usual silly grin. "Let me tell you, you can't send her away if I don't want to!"
Xiao Lin said, half-laughing and half-crying, "Fine, as long as you don't want to leave, not even the Heavenly King himself can take you away. I can still afford to support such a little foodie like you."
"That old man Su Qian won't let you suffer any injustice."
"You said it yourself!" Zi Yan stared intently at Xiao Lin with her purple eyes. "Yes, I said it."
"Who knows, I might have to rely on you to take care of me in my old age!"
"Then you'd better watch out. If you bully her again, I won't take care of you when you get old," Zi Yan threatened playfully.
"You think you're so great!" Xiao Lin gave Zi Yan another flick on the forehead, making the latter feel wronged.
