Exaggerated Candle Flame

Not long after Xiao Lin brought Zi Yan back, Xiao Han and Candle Flame arrived above Canaan Institute and then quietly appeared in front of Xiao Lin and the others.

As soon as they landed, Candle Flame turned his gaze to Zi Yan, who was looking at them curiously, and then excitedly knelt down, "This old minister Candle Flame greets Your Highness."

This left everyone else present completely bewildered. Xiao Han's lips twitched slightly; he never dreamed that this Candle Flame's loyalty to the Dragon Emperor was so frighteningly high.

Although Zi Yan is of Royal Bloodline, she is currently just an immature Magical Beast with the strength of Dou Wang, while Candle Flame is Ninth Order Void Ancient Dragon and Dou Sheng Expert.

Logically speaking, even if the Old Dragon Emperor were still alive, he wouldn't have needed to perform such a grand ceremony for a mere prince, let alone now. Shouldn't he be mindful of the social impact?

Little did Xiao Han know that the Candle Flame had already tacitly approved of Zi Yan becoming the new Dragon Emperor of the Void Ancient Dragon, and that his actions were simply the duty of a subject.

Coupled with the long-suppressed reverence for the old Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun, it suddenly erupted, leading to his public actions.

However, these were just Candle Flame's thoughts, and Xiao Lin only thought they were too exaggerated, but Zi Yan didn't think so.

Zi Yan's mind was filled with doubt. Could this old man be a fool? He knelt down as soon as they met.

After Candle Flame down a bit, Zhu Huo stood up and said to Zi Yan, "This old minister, Candle Flame, respectfully invites Your Highness to return to your clan."

"Elder Zhu Huo, shouldn't you introduce yourself first?" Seeing this confused old dragon, Xiao Han felt really awkward.

"Little Lin, let's go out first and let the two of them have a good talk." Xiao Han waved to Xiao Lin and left immediately.

Xiao Lin said goodbye to Zi Yan and then left, leaving the two of them to have a proper chat.

"How has your time at Canaan Institute been these past few years?" Xiao Han felt it was necessary to check on his nephew's situation.

"Thank you for your concern, Uncle. I'm fine." The cruelty of the Black-Corner Region only targets the weak. Strong people like Xiao Lin, whose strength is enough to suppress a region, can live very comfortably here.

Moreover, Xiao Lin was at Canaan Institute, where he didn't have many troubles. The only one who often caused trouble, Zi Yan, actually made Xiao Lin feel much younger.

"I never expected that this little guy you casually took care of would have such a high status," Xiao Han chuckled.

At this point, Xiao Lin also had a look of disbelief on his face. "What's going on with the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe of the Void? How could Zi Yan, as their princess, end up in such a godforsaken place?"

Anyone who knows about the Black-Corner Region would not think it's a good place. It might be suitable for some people to develop, but no one would want to kill endlessly unless they are mentally disturbed.

Xiao Han simply said meaningfully, "Their clan experienced some changes at that time."

"What?" Xiao Lin asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing." Xiao Han didn't explain further; some things would become clear in time.

"You don't plan to go to Central Plains anymore?" Xiao Han asked.

Xiao Lin has now hit a bottleneck, and it will be difficult for him to get enough pressure to break through if he continues to stay in the Northwest Continent.

In this situation, Xiao Lin needs to go through some battles.

"No need." Xiao Lin was quite magnanimous. "The Xiao Clan doesn't need another Dou Zun expert like me. I'll stay here and take a look at these young people."

"It's up to you." Xiao Han realized that Xiao Lin's mentality had prematurely entered old age, making him unsuitable for continuing to fight. This kind of teaching role was more appropriate for him.

"Perfect, you can also check on Yan Kid's situation," Xiao Han said nonchalantly.

Speaking of Xiao Yan, Xiao Lin finally smiled, "That kid is much better than me and his father."

After Xiao Yan entered Canaan Institute, Xiao Lin secretly observed his performance and was naturally very satisfied with the result.

Unlike Xiao Lin and Xiao Zhan, whose achievements were mostly due to resources far exceeding their own value, Xiao Yan relied almost entirely on his own efforts to grow to this point.

Although Xiao Zhan gave Xiao Yan a lot of things back then, they couldn't withstand the consumption at all.

After giving Xiao Lin a few instructions, Xiao Han didn't interfere any further.

When the two returned to the courtyard, Candle Flame and Zi Yan had almost finished their conversation.

Now, Zi Yan has transformed into that Gu Ling character.

Upon seeing the two arrive, Candle Flame stepped forward to thank Xiao Lin, "Thank you Elder Lin for taking care of our Highness."

Through her conversation with Zi Yan, Candle Flame learned about two elders who treated her very well, one of whom was Elder Lin, who was standing before her.

Moreover, if Candle Flame remembers correctly, the junior that the Ice Saint mentioned is probably Elder Lin.

As for their almost identical appearances, Candle Flame paid no attention. This thing was also linked to cultivation level, and it was obvious that the Ice Saint's lifespan was much longer than his own age.

Just now, Candle Flame not only talked to Zi Yan, but also carefully examined her body.

The result was completely normal. In fact, Zi Yan's body was incredibly strong due to the various high-level medicinal herbs she had consumed, and Candle Flame did not discover any unusual methods or techniques on Zi Yan.

In conclusion, these two people in front of them were indeed undoubtedly their benefactors, the Void Ancient Dragon of the Void.

"You just need to remember to keep my identity a secret," Xiao Han reminded them.

"That's natural." In Candle Flame's view, the fact that this Ice Saint had other descendants meant that he was also hiding secrets. The best way to deal with these things was to keep quiet about them.

"I'm referring to her." Xiao Han gestured to Zi Yan, who was munching on the medicinal herbs that the Candle Flame had just given her.

He wasn't worried about the Candle Flame; he was an old man, and naturally had some experience with it. But he wasn't so sure about Zi Yan.

If she ever reveals what she's done, she's doomed!

Seeing the strange man turn his gaze to her, Zi Yan assured him, "I know! I keep my mouth shut."

Candle Flame assured him, "Please rest assured, Your Highness will not speak recklessly."

"So you're planning to take this girl back to Eastern Dragon Island?" Xiao Han asked.

Candle Flame nodded. "Only by bringing Her Highness back to Ancient Dragon Island can we give her the best upbringing."

"That's not necessarily true!" Xiao Han smiled.

"What do you mean by that?" If it were before, Candle Flame would have scoffed at Xiao Han's words, but now his trust in the latter had increased dramatically.

"I told you, this time we can significantly boost the strength of your entire Ancient Dragon Island," Xiao Han said confidently.

"Please enlighten me, Your Excellency!" Candle Flame originally thought that Xiao Han was referring to the increased power of Ancient Dragon Island after it possessed the Royal Bloodline, but now it seems that there might be something else involved.

"Little girl, would you like to come along?" Xiao Han asked with a smile.

"Hmm?" Zi Yan asked, a question mark appearing above her head.
