Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 289 Which one do you like?
Xue Beng was defeated!

Looking at the black-haired boy on the field who seemed to have difficulty even bending over, everyone in Canaan Academy was silent, and their jaws almost dropped in shock.

Xue Beng's strength as a peak fighter is definitely not the strongest level in the outer courtyard of Canaan Academy, but he does have a strong record of defeating great fighters head-on.

However, facing this young man who has never shown up since joining the academy, even struggling seems to be a luxury.

One finger.

The simple movement of bending his fingers, without any trace of fighting spirit, instantly made Xiao Yan's reputation reach its peak.

Regardless of what the joke is, in this land where geniuses gather, if you want to gain recognition from others, what you need after all is strength!

"The winner is Xiao Yan, Yellow Tier Class 2!"

It was not until more than ten breaths had passed that the Douling referee on the field finally woke up and shouted loudly.

"Concession."

As the audience erupted in thunderous applause, Xiao Yan shrugged his shoulders, turned around, and staggered off the stage, heading towards the team where Instructor Ruolin was.

After passing through the spacious passage that the students in the auditorium had consciously separated for him, Xiao Yan saw the familiar faces of the Xiao family. He looked a little dazed for a moment, raised his head and smiled:

"Cousin, cousin, and cousin, long time no see."

Seeing Xiao Yan's warm smile that seemed to be mixed with some complexities, Xiao Ning and Xiao Mei looked at each other, both revealing a slightly guilty expression.

During this period of time, the two of them who had lived in Canaan College for a long time would naturally recall the days in Wutan City. When they were away from home, it was obvious that they would be closer to their family members.

They just felt that they were young and ignorant, and that it was too late for them to understand this truth.
"Cousin Xiao Yan, that—"

"Little bastard, you promised to come to Canaan College on time, what happened?"

Pushing away Xiao Ning who was about to speak, Xiao Yu snorted coldly, crossed his arms and said:
"There's been no news for two whole years. If it weren't for the competition, I would have gone back to Wutan City and complained to Uncle Xiao about you!"

"Wutan City."

Hearing this familiar name, a smile flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes. He shook his head and said, "If cousin Xiao Yu returns to Wutan City, I'm afraid she won't be able to find her home."

"what?"

Xiao Yuxing's eyes widened. "Can't find home? How is that possible? We haven't been home for only two years. Even if Wutan City has changed a lot, how is it possible that we can't even recognize where our home is?"

"Haha, cousin Xiao Yu has a keen eye for talent, so it's natural that she wouldn't fail to recognize the location of our Xiao family."

The familiar words of keeping in suspense came, causing Xiao Yu to glance at him sideways and curl his lips and say:
"If you have something to say, just say it now. Why are you dithering? According to you, could the Xiao family actually escape Wutan City?"

"good."

"what?"

When these words were spoken, not only Xiao Yu and the others, but even Xun'er who was watching quietly from a distance couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise.

You know, although Xiao Yan always likes to keep people in suspense, he has never been vague on such crucial matters. What he said is obviously highly credible.

"Cousin Xiao Yan, you...you mean that our Xiao family will no longer stay in Wutan City?"

Xiao Ning's face turned pale as he said in disbelief, "But, Wutan City is all owned by my Xiao family. There are so many markets and shops, are we going to give them all away? There's no way Grandpa would agree to that!"

"What are you thinking about?"

Seeing Xiao Mei's equally frightened face, Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows and slapped Xiao Ning on the shoulder in annoyance. The force was neither too strong nor too weak, making him stagger and almost fall.

Clearing his throat, Xiao Yan acted calm and composed, saying rather complacently, "Ahem, the Xiao family is indeed no longer in Wutan City. If you want to go home now, I'm afraid you'll have to travel a long way to the Imperial Capital."

"Emperor, Imperial Capital?!"

It was hard for everyone to imagine that the calm and composed young man who was so calm and composed in the face of almost anything could actually show such a childlike look. They couldn't help but have an idea that almost made them ecstatic.
"Could it be that--"

"Yes, the Xiao family in the imperial capital is now located across the street from the Mitel family. The auction house is right outside. It's quite convenient, right?"

Xiao Yan introduced the geographical location of the Xiao family with a smile, then changed the subject, his tone became more serious, and he said slowly:

"Also, as the young patriarch of the Xiao family in the imperial capital, I declare that from now on, I will protect everyone in the Xiao family. You may understand this as being unreasonable."

As soon as he saw Xiao Ning, Xiao Yan sensed that the other party contained mixed Dou Qi of various different attributes in his body. He knew without thinking that it was a hidden injury caused by being besieged by many people!
Although Canaan College does not pay attention to background, the students of Canaan College may not be so.

The disappearance of his father, the teachings of his teacher, and Ruoruo's wholehearted help in just a few months made him truly understand the meaning of clan and the heavy responsibility it carried.

So, he chose to protect. Xiao Yan's seemingly overbearing words, which actually declared his concern for everyone, could not help but make the Xiao family members' blood boil like never before. Xiao Mei, who seemed to be the most cunning, even cheered out loud.

"Young Patriarch"

Looking at the pill that Xiao Yan handed to him silently, Xiao Ning's eyes turned slightly red and he lowered his head silently.

"Little guy, you've only just arrived at Canaan Academy. Why are you already thinking about showing off?"

Suddenly, a gentle female voice with a hint of teasing came from the viewing platform, and the woman in plain clothes who had been watching for a long time slowly walked down from the platform.

After taking a look at the boy's appearance, Teacher Ruolin's eyes showed a hint of admiration, but she said with a hint of resentment:

"You've really kept your instructor waiting for two years of vacation."

"This"

Xiao Yan's originally confident and arrogant posture collapsed in an instant. Even with his thick skin, he couldn't help but feel a little hot and laughed awkwardly:

"Hey, Teacher Ruolin, I'm sorry."

"Do you still remember that I am your mentor?"

Teacher Ruolin said indignantly, "Giving up the special admissions quota is fine. At least I asked the Vice Dean to suppress the matter for you. But you and that mysterious girl have been skipping classes for a whole year!"

"That doesn't even include the year you took the initiative to ask for leave. Do you know how much I've had to argue with the hospital about that little thing between you two?"

"Teacher, calm down. I'm about to catch up with the inner court examination. Although I have some injuries, advancing to the inner court will definitely not be a problem."

Xiao Yan replied with a stiff upper lip and a wry smile.

After waiting for a few breaths on pins and needles, the aggressive and gentle woman in front of him finally sighed and waved her hand casually.
".Forget it, you little brat have grown wings. You can defeat Xue Beng without even using Dou Qi. There is really nothing more for the instructor to teach you."

Shaking her head helplessly, Ruolin looked at the young man in front of her who showed no arrogance at all, her eyes slightly fixed.

"Even though you call me mentor, I haven't really taught you anything. Seeing your progress over the past two years is enough to comfort me."

"To be honest, the only regret is that I didn't get to see that mysterious girl you claimed was stronger than you. I wonder if she came with you?"

Hearing Teacher Ruolin's words of concern, Xiao Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly:
"Teacher, don't worry. Ruoruo has been certified as a special admissions student. However, I heard there are still some specific matters that need to be reviewed by the elders. I believe she will be able to officially become a member of the academy soon."

"It's been certified so quickly? That's good."

"Uh?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but look at the other party with some doubt, and asked puzzledly: "What does Teacher Ruolin mean?"

"Janaan Academy is divided into two courtyards, the inner and outer courtyards. The outer courtyard is where we are now, and the inner courtyard selection competition you are participating in now is a screening for promotion from the outer courtyard to the inner courtyard."

Seeing Xiao Yan nod with some certainty, Instructor Ruolin adjusted her thoughts slightly and then explained:

"However, there are always exceptions, and special admissions are one such exception. Canaan Academy only values ​​talent, not background, so it's not surprising that they give the green light to these gifted individuals."

"You mean, Ruoruo will directly join the inner courtyard?"

"Not only that, I'm afraid her status will rise with her 'special admission' status, far surpassing some of the older students. It's said that the current Inner Court Elder Su Qian was admitted as a special admission when he first joined Canaan College."

"I see."

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan nodded with a slight smile. To be able to become the Grand Elder of the Inner Court, the old man named Su Qian must have at least high-level Dou Huang or even Dou Zong level cultivation, which was enough to show the value of the special admissions student.

However, even after learning this, Xiao Yan did not show any envy, nor did he feel the slightest regret for transferring the special admissions quota.

After all, with their abilities, they naturally didn't need to worry too much about a special admissions quota. The 'no questions about identity and background' provided by the special admissions quota was what she really needed.

Seeing that Xiao Yan was still calm and composed, Teacher Ruolin narrowed her beautiful eyes and couldn't help but glance at the little girl not far away who seemed to be smiling, but in fact she was about to put her ear close to him to eavesdrop on their conversation.

"Hey, little guy."

Pulling Xiao Yan away for a long distance, Instructor Ruolin stared at his face suspiciously and spoke in a low voice:

"Tell the instructor secretly, which one do you like?"

"Ah."

Xiao Yan responded calmly, but when he realized the question the other party asked, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and met the gentle face that hinted at gossip.
"Um????"

This woman is truly worthy of being the mentor who could teach Xiao Yu to be that unruly woman!
　I really want to depict the bond between the clans, so that the other characters don't seem so thin, but I'm afraid that everyone will think it's watered down, so I can only add more words as a substitute~
