Battle Through the Heavens, Reborn as Xiao Yan's Sister

Chapter 41 Under the Moon
"Then I will accept your offer without hesitation and will visit your residence this week!" Old Master Ming stroked his beard and smiled, indicating that he accepted Xiao Yue's kindness.

He could naturally see through Xiao Yue's little scheme.
But so what? He didn't mind; after all, geniuses should be treated this way.

Thinking of this, the old man's gaze also drifted to Xiao Xun'er beside Xiao Yue. In his perception, this little girl also gave him a feeling that he couldn't see through her.

'That little girl is still young, but she probably already has the potential to be at least S-rank, no less than that little vixen from the outer courtyard. We really came to the right place this time, encountering two treasures at once. It's a good thing we didn't go straight to the capital, or we would have missed out…'

The old man was amazed and secretly glad that he had come to the right place for this recruitment trip.

the other side,
Upon hearing the news that the Canaan Academy's admissions team had arrived at the Xiao family's residence to receive hospitality, Xiao Zhan and the three elders, who were discussing matters in the council hall, were immediately stunned.
After realizing what had happened, they all stood up with delight, exchanged glances, and then hurriedly left the hall and rushed to the family gate, where they welcomed the recruitment team into the mansion with smiles on their faces.

With Xiao Yue's introduction, the two sides finally got to know each other. As the clan leader, Xiao's father did not hesitate to immediately send people to prepare the guest rooms in the reception area.

Then, a grand welcome banquet was laid out, a gesture that won over many people from Canaan Academy and others.

The atmosphere within the clan immediately became much more lively, with many young clansmen crowding around. After all, this recruitment team held the key to whether they could enter Canaan Academy.

At this time,
The old man from Canaan Academy was grinning from ear to ear. He never expected that he would discover Xiao Yan, another genius with extremely high potential, when he thought he was lucky enough to meet Xiao Yue and Xiao Xun'er.

Three monstrous geniuses, once so rare to find, have appeared at once today!

The many Canaan Academy instructors who accompanied the group exchanged glances, feeling extremely shocked, but also happy to build good relations with the Xiao family. After all, the future of a family often depends on the talent and potential of the younger generation, and anyone could see the future of this family.

As the patriarch, Xiao's father was beaming with joy. He naturally knew what the arrival of Canaan Academy meant for the Xiao family.

This is absolutely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Putting aside everything else, as long as we can use this opportunity to give the Xiao family a few more admission slots and send more young people from the clan to Canaan Academy for further studies, then the future of the family will surely be brighter.

...

"Teacher, do you really want me to go to Canaan Academy? That old man keeps staring at me, it's disgusting. Besides, with you here, I don't lack any advanced cultivation techniques or fighting skills. What can Canaan Academy possibly teach me?"

in the corner,
Looking at the old man in the welcoming area who kept staring at him with a silly grin, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a chill and hugged his arms.

"I'm not really asking you to learn anything."

Yao Chen rolled his eyes at the boy, then frowned and said in a deep voice, "You're going to Canaan Academy to find a strange flame. I've received information that Canaan Academy should have a strange flame called the Fallen Heart Flame, which ranks fourteenth on the Strange Flame Ranking! If you can absorb that flame, your Burning Technique might evolve..."

"Fallen Heart Flame?"

As he softly murmured the strange name, the boy's eyes slowly brightened, and he even found the old man from Canaan Academy much more pleasing to the eye.

……

……

……

The bright moon hangs in the sky.

The bright moonlight shone down from the sky, its gentle glow like ripples on water, shrouding the woods near the back mountain in a hazy mist, as if draped in a thin veil. On the edge of the cliff, a girl in a light blue dress gently swung her round, snow-white legs, which shimmered like jade, delicate and graceful, tracing alluring arcs in the air.

under the moonlight,
The girl, as beautiful as a lotus flower, appeared somewhat lonely. Her long, straight black hair, reaching her waist, swayed gently in the breeze. Her gaze was fixed on the darkness in the distance, as if she were waiting for something or perhaps pondering something.

"What's wrong? Why are you sitting here all alone..."

A gentle voice sounded behind the girl.
That familiar silver-haired figure appeared silently beside the girl, his voice revealing an unprecedented gentleness.

"Nothing, I was just thinking about some things." Xiao Xun'er shook her head. After a while, the girl bit her lip and asked somewhat sadly:

"Sister Yue'er, are you... leaving soon...?"

"guessed?"

A faint smile appeared on Xiao Yue's face.

This plan had been in place for a while. Wutan City was too small, and if she wanted to advance her martial arts path, she couldn't stay in this small city forever.

She slowly leaned against the girl and sat down on the edge of the cliff as well. A bright moon rose in the mountains at night, and the two of them sat on the edge of the cliff. The bright moon seemed to be right in front of them, and the scene was exceptionally beautiful.

"I heard that the minimum requirement to become a tutor at Canaan Academy is the strength of a Great Dou Master. I have just submitted my application to Elder Ming," Xiao Yue said with a light laugh.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xun'er's expression faltered slightly, as if she were puzzled.

"I'll travel for at most three years. When you're older, I'll come to Canaan Academy to find you..." Xiao Yue said softly.

The words fell,

Xiao Yue couldn't help but raise her hand slightly, her slender fingers gently brushing aside the stray hairs beside the girl's temples and softly stroking Xiao Xun'er's cheek.

The girl's delicate cheeks felt like finely carved jade, smooth and warm with a gentle coolness. Her fingertips lingered on the skin that seemed fragile, and even for a moment, Xiao Yue couldn't bear to part with the touch.

Xiao Xun'er was momentarily stunned by this, until the slender, cool fingers moved away from her cheek, and the girl came back to her senses, a complex emotion flashing in her clear eyes.

"So, should I call you 'sister' or 'teacher'?" Xiao Xun'er murmured softly, a strange feeling suddenly welling up in her heart.

Sometimes, faced with Xiao Yue's warmth and care, which was like that of a biological sister, and her excessive gentleness towards her since childhood, she almost found herself trapped in that web of tender care, unable to extricate herself. To the point that she couldn't distinguish whether what she felt in her heart was the simple affection between family members, or something else entirely...

"You can call me whatever you want."

Xiao Yue smiled.
She was completely unaware of the strange emotions in the girl's heart. In her eyes, Xiao Xun'er was still the cute little sister who needed her care.

Really, you can call it anything...

Xiao Xun'er lowered her eyes and couldn't help but think this to herself.
