Xiao Yu led Xiao Yu into the courtyard and brewed him a cup of tea, then the two chatted about family matters.
After a while, Xiao Yu finally asked where Xiao Yan had gone.
"Cousin Xiao Yan? He went to cultivate in the Heavenly Flame Qi Refining Tower. Cousin Xun'er left recently for some reason, and Xiao Yan hasn't been in a very good mood. He spends every day cultivating in the tower."
Only after hearing this did Xiao Yu understand what had happened. Xun'er's family had taken her home, and the shock had gotten to Xiao Yan.
Nodding, Xiao Yu smiled. "I happen to be heading to the Heavenly Flame Qi Refining Tower too. I'll check on Xiao Yan while I'm there. Cousin, would you like to come?"
"I'll pass. With my current strength, I can't get a good spot in the Heavenly Flame Qi Refining Tower anyway. No point taking a good spot only to have someone snatch it away."
Xiao Yu shook her head, sounding rather helpless.
Xiao Yu frowned slightly. "With Xiao Yan around, people still dare drive you out?"
At that, Xiao Yu gave a bitter smile. "Cousin Xiao Yan has already been in the tower for several days. Besides, fighting over spots is commonplace in the Heavenly Flame Qi Refining Tower. Even if he finds out afterward, the most he can do is beat them up."
Little Yanzi kept bragging about how well he was doing, yet the people under him were being bullied like this.
Still, it was perfectly normal. Among the members of Pan Gate, only Xiao Yan was strong enough to rival the senior students. The others weren't geniuses with a protagonist's talent like him.
Most members of Pan Gate were therefore relatively weak and couldn't compete with the senior students
