News of the Sect Breaking Pill spread not only among the major factions of the Black-Corner Region; quite a few people within Jia Nan Academy were tempted as well.
Among them was Hu Gan, dean of Jia Nan Academy's Outer Academy!
He, too, was a Peak Dou Emperor!
For this reason, Hu Gan even sought out First Elder Su Qian personally.
In his own words, he wanted the academy to bid on the Sect Breaking Pill for him first, and he would slowly work off the debt afterward.
Besides, his breakthrough to Dou Zong would benefit Jia Nan Academy, too, allowing him to deter those lurking scoundrels.
Thus, Su Qian ultimately agreed to Hu Gan's proposal and planned to secure the Sect Breaking Pill for him at the auction in six months.
Meanwhile, beside a shimmering lake in the Outer Academy, an exquisitely beautiful girl in a purple dress stood quietly, her cool, composed bearing resembling a green lotus.
It was hard to tell whether she was gazing across the lake or at the distant scenery, but a faint melancholy lingered in her amber eyes, lending her an air of cool detachment.
Just then, a young woman in an academy uniform approached from afar, her long legs fair and shapely.
"Xun'er, are you still thinking about that fellow Xiao Yan?"
The beautiful girl turned toward the newcomer, a faint smile appearing on her lovely, jade-white face.
"Oh, it's you, Cousin Xiao Yu!"
Who else could the woman with those long legs have been but Xiao Yu?
Xiao Xun'er pursed her little lips, completely losing her earlier cool demeanor as longing seemed to fill her beautiful eyes.
"Brother Xiao Yan is right here in the Black-Corner Region, yet he hasn't even come to Jia Nan Academy to see me."
