Chapter 153
Lin Qing smiled gently when she saw the person who had arrived.
"Yu'er! What brings you here?"
The person who arrived was Xiao Yu, followed by Xiao Mei and four others.
Xiao Yu and Xiao Mei entered the Inner Academy through the Inner Academy Selection Tournament in the second year, along with Han Yue, Lin Fei, Xue Mei, and Qing Ye.
Their talents are all quite good, although not as terrifying as Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin.
But they all entered the Inner Academy after Xiao Yi Xian and the others.
Of course, the most impressive one is Han Yue. She didn't have Lin Qing's full support; she relied entirely on herself and her family's resources to break through from Dou Master to Da Dou Shi, and then took the top five in the Inner Academy Selection Tournament.
She had even promised Lin Qing to refine Medicinal Pill for her, but Lin Qing never came to fulfill that promise, which made Lin Qing feel a little embarrassed every time he saw her.
However, the most surprising thing was that Qing Ye, a girl with whom he had some connections, also broke through from Dou Zhe to Nine-Star Dou Master after entering the academy.
As for Xiao Yu, Xiao Mei, and the other three, they all entered the outer academy within a few months, breaking through from Dou Zhe to Dou Shi, and then reaching the nine-star Dou Shi level in the remaining time.
After entering the Inner Academy, Xiao Yu and his companion did not stay in his pavilion.
The attic has two floors, with more than ten rooms on the first and second floors combined. Although there are enough rooms, the two of them, along with Han Yue, Lin Fei, Xue Mei, and Qing Ye, live in the Small Courtyard of their established territory and did not come over.
Besides Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin, who had always lived with him, the only other people who moved in were Cailin, Caidie, and Zi Yan.
With the help of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, and the protection of Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin.
The improvement of these individuals was undoubtedly enormous. Apart from Han Yue, a Nine-Star Grand Dou Master, the others had all reached the Da Dou Shi level. Although they were still not comparable to those on the Strong Ranking, they had made significant progress.
After all, Jia Nan Academy gathers geniuses from various countries and the Central Plains, so this performance is already quite remarkable.
They should all be able to break through to the Dou Wang before graduation.
Lin Fei and Xue Mei's souls had already reached the peak of the Mortal Realm Initial Stage, and their alchemy skills had reached the Tier 3. With a little more growth in their cultivation, they would be able to break through to the middle rank.
Although not as naturally gifted as Qing Lin, nor as skilled as Xiao Yi Xian ate the Jade Infant Fruit, it is still quite possible for her to become Sixth-Grade Alchemist before graduation.
"We came to check because you made a big commotion during your seclusion, cousin."
Xiao Mei and the others clearly recognized Xiao Yi Xian her group, glancing at them before looking away.
Xiao Yu and Xiao Mei knew something about the relationship between Xiao Yi Xian and Lin Qing, but there was nothing they could do about it, since the other party's talent and strength were superior to theirs.
Although she and Xiao Yu had been sulking for a long time, they ultimately chose to accept it.
There's nothing they can do even if they don't accept it; they can't stop it either. Not only are they weaker than the other side, but even if they wanted to, they couldn't beat them.
They are unwilling to give up.
"Hmm! I broke through during this seclusion, so I made a bit of a commotion. I'll rest well for the next couple of days, and we can return to the Jia Ma Empire together in three days."
Lin Qing had told them about returning to the Jia Ma Empire before.
During this time, they also came to call Lin Qing to go back together, but Lin Qing was always in seclusion cultivating.
So over the years, they've only gone back once with the Recruitment Squad. However, before they went back, Lin Qing also asked them to bring back some Mystic Tier Cultivation Technique and Dou Technique, as well as some Medicinal Pill.
Some of these items were obtained from the system, and some were taken from the Green Emperor Pavilion.
This trip back can be considered as taking care of things at home and preparing for the journey to Central Plains.
"Then we'll go ask for leave later."
"Um!"
In recent years, apart from the three of them, no one else from the Xiao Clan has enrolled in the Jia Nan Academy, so they can go directly to the Green Emperor Pavilion and then directly to Wutan City.
The rest either didn't want to come, or their age and cultivation level didn't meet the requirements.
He could understand those who didn't come. Jia Nan Academy was quite far from the Jia Ma Empire, and it wouldn't be convenient to go back after coming to the Jia Nan Academy, and it would also cost a lot of money.
Even Xiao Yu and the others only went back once.
For example, students like Han Yue from Central Plains basically won't have the time or energy to go home until after graduation.
As for Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, they continued to go to Stone Desert City as before and established a mercenary group. It can only be said that everyone has their own ambitions, and he could not make choices for others.
Leading the group through the Small Courtyard to the living room, Qing Lin and Xiao Yi Xian obediently served tea to the guests.
"This time I'm returning to the Jia Ma Empire, firstly to pay respects to my parents, and secondly to take the Xiao Clan to the Imperial Capital."
Lin Qing smiled as he spoke, then looked at Xue Mei and the other two. "This time, make sure your families are also prepared to relocate to the Green Emperor Pavilion!"
After much deliberation, he decided to allow both of their families to develop in the Black-Corner Region. After all, the territory was large enough, and their families could develop under the protection of the Green Emperor Pavilion.
"Yes, young master!" the two replied solemnly.
The group chatted in the living room for a while, agreed on a time, and then Xiao Yu led Han Yue and the others away.
"Hehe, Cailin, when you go back this time, take Caidie back to your clan first! I will discuss the issue of the Snake-People Tribe's territory with the Jia Ma Empire and ask them to give up their share of the Magic Beast Mountains," Lin Qing said with a faint smile.
"Thanks!" Cailin said softly with a faint smile on her pretty face.
"We're partners, there's no need to be so formal!" Lin Qing said with a slight smile.
"A partner?" Cailin asked gently.
But she wanted more than just a partner. This man was not only a gentleman, but also highly skilled in cultivation, exceptional in alchemy, and possessed unparalleled talent. He was also a man of his word and treated her very well.
Thinking of this, Cailin's lips curled up slightly, and a hint of pride appeared on her pretty face. This was the man she had set her sights on.
However, this young man has too many women around him; he needs to find a way to establish a relationship with her as soon as possible.
However, the pride of the Snake-People Tribe queen prevented her from letting go of her pride.
For a moment, Cailin was caught in a dilemma.
Three days later, Lin Qing and the others got up early, washed up, ate breakfast, and Xiao Yu and the other three rushed to Lin Qing's Small Courtyard.
Zi Yan, on the other hand, was very excited, happily holding Cailin and Caidie on either side, and waiting in the living room early on.
"Aqing!"
"Cousin!"
Xiao Yu, Xiao Mei, Xue Mei, Lin Fei walked up.
Let's go!
Lin Qing didn't waste any words and spoke directly.
The group retrieved a Griffin from the Barrier and flew for an hour to reach the Outer Academy. Without stopping, Qing Lin released a Tier 7 Ten-Winged Dark Serpent, which carried the group towards the Green Emperor Pavilion.
The journey back to the Jia Ma Empire was too long. Even Dou Wang expert could not travel for an extended period using Dou Qi Wings, let alone four Da Dou Shi) among them. Naturally, they had to reunite first and then ride Magical Beast.
