"Those two you brought back are quite the pair of characters. But the little one has fallen into a deep sleep now."
Yao Lao seemed to let out a slight breath.
Zi Yan was a little better. Mischievous as she was, she was hardly stupid and usually knew when to quit while she was ahead.
Even so, she had caused Yao Lao a whole heap of trouble when he went to the Pill Realm.
Hun Xin, on the other hand, was a complete little airhead. Already seven or eight years old, she was still rather clueless.
Yao Lao could talk until his lips wore out and still fail to make her understand.
However, Hun Xin had already started growing excessively sleepy back at Jia Nan Academy. Over the last few months especially, strange phenomena had begun occurring in her body.
At that thought, Yao Lao slowly said, "That disciple of yours is rather peculiar. I suggest you go and see her. I keep feeling that this girl harbors an enormous secret."
Xiao Yan nodded slightly at his words. Back in the Jia Ma Empire, he had already noticed a few clues to Hun Xin's abnormalities. Sure enough, anyone who could say, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west," was no ordinary person.
Unfortunately, I never got the chance to say something so stirring this time.
After grumbling inwardly for a moment, Xiao Yan bade Yao Lao farewell and flew toward the place where Zi Yan and the others were staying.
But before he reached Zi Yan's courtyard, a powerful aura intercepted him.
"Roar!"
A dragon's roar, mingled with the growl of a bear, rang out from a courtyard not far from Zi Yan's residence. A formidable aura erupted immediately afterward.
Xiao Yan paused slightly upon hearing that roar.
