Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 290 He is your senior brother?
Late at night, Xiao Yan, unable to resist Xun'er's constant nagging, had no choice but to chat with her about the three-year agreement.

Although many of the things involved were kept secret because they involved the Soul Palace, the astonishing and brilliant achievements still made Xun'er feel amazed and extremely distressed when she heard them.

"So, Brother Xiao Yan is using multiple secret techniques to strengthen himself because he's planning to duel with the Dou Wang expert from the Yunlan Sect?"

The girl's bright eyes were filled with heartache, and she immediately said in an angry tone that hinted at murderous intent:
"How dare he, a mere Dou Wang!"

Xun'er paused halfway through her words, seeming to realize she was a little too excited, and then suppressed her anger and said:
"Brother Xiao Yan, promise Xun'er that if you encounter something like this in the future, don't act impulsively. Xun'er will find a way to help you."

"You little girl, didn't I kill him?"

Lying on the slope of the lawn with his head in his arms, Xiao Yan held a grass root he had picked up from somewhere in his mouth, slowly chewing the bitterness inside.
"My father has been rescued, the Yunlan Sect's evil leader has been eliminated, and now even the Xiao family has moved into the imperial capital. Everyone is happy, right? Why do you keep thinking about so many unnecessary things?"

"But the risk is too great. As a Dou Huang, how could Sister Ruoruo not know the gap between a Dou Ling and a high-level Dou Wang? What if..."

"Okay, Nizi."

Xiao Yan interrupted her slightly, obviously not wanting to talk too much about this matter.

"Your sister Ruoruo is not stupid, how could she not know these things?"

"If she knew the risks, why did she let you go?"

Xun'er's eyes were stubborn, and she didn't agree with Hun Ruoruo's approach.
"As long as Brother Xiao Yan is willing, Xun'er can really handle these things!"

Seeing Xun'er's stubborn look, Xiao Yan did not criticize her too much. He just smiled helplessly and said softly:
"Xun'er, I know you have a strong background, perhaps even stronger than I could imagine. But there are some things I can accept help from others, but in the end, I have to do it myself."

"But--"

"I understand what Xun'er means. The risks involved are indeed far greater than I can bear. Even now, after so much time has passed, if I were to fight that old dog again, I wouldn't be sure of winning."

Xiao Yan glanced sideways at the ethereal and beautiful girl, his eyes were clear without a trace of distracting thoughts.
"But for my father and the Xiao family, I must personally resolve these grievances. External forces can only be considered auxiliary means at best. Just consider it my chauvinism."

Having said that, Xiao Yan touched his nose, seeming to feel a little embarrassed.

Xun'er was so smart that after hearing what the other party said, she instantly understood most of the meaning.

"I understand, Brother Xiao Yan."

Pouting somewhat indignantly, Xun'er lowered her head and whispered, "Xun'er didn't mean anything else."

Seeing this, Xiao Yan immediately laughed and shook his head, then sat up and said gently:

"Our Xun'er is incredibly intelligent, so of course she can tell right from wrong. However, some things are always less clear unless you experience them firsthand. 'Knowledge gained from books is always shallow,' perhaps that's what it means."

"Um"

"Silly girl, why are you so dejected?"

His big hands rubbed the little girl's soft hair, Xiao Yan smiled and winked at her.
"Although I know you're not a member of my Xiao family, my previous words still apply. When we get to the inner courtyard, I'll protect you. How about that?"

".Really?"

"Really? Hi, Nizi, when have I ever lied to you? When you were a kid and had a runny nose, people laughed at you. Wasn't it me who made you—" "Brother Xiao Yan!"

Xun'er's pretty face flushed red, and she said angrily, "Xun'er doesn't have a runny nose, and we're not a child anymore! Why do you always bring this up?!"

"Yes, yes, you're a grown-up girl now. Men and women shouldn't touch each other. Brother is leaving first. Tomorrow is the finals. Come on, Nizi!"

After saying that, Xiao Yan quickly ran down the hill behind the girls' dormitory and soon disappeared into the darkness.

“Really”

Looking at the young man's receding figure in frustration, Xun'er stamped her feet in anger and said through gritted teeth:
"Damn it! That woman got there first again. She's already giving me a head start before anyone even shows up. The most important thing is, it was actually Brother Xiao Yan who said it himself!"

Although she knew that the heir of Yin Gu was never allowed to marry, the fact that she appeared in her plans time and time again still made Xun'er unable to suppress her desire to compete with her.

Once the thought arises, it is like sparks scattering, and then burning extremely intensely.
"An Ruoruo, wait for me."

"As long as Brother Xiao Yan is still by my side, I will never lose!"

Walking out of the quiet room filled with bookshelves, Hun Ruoruo looked back and saw that Vice Dean Hu Qian, who had previously talked with the girl in red at the selection competition, was now following the steps of another straight-figured old man in a long robe.

"That's about it, girl."

Hu Qian slowly put away the information in his hand and couldn't help but laugh bitterly.

"I have to admit, your strength is truly unprecedented since the founding of Canaan Academy. If the Information Department hadn't reported on your and Xiao Yan's deeds in the Jia Ma Empire, I would have been hesitant to accept you into the academy."

"Don't worry, Vice President. I've heard of the reputation of Canaan Academy since I was a child. Even though my cultivation level is a bit higher, being able to cultivate here is a relief. I will definitely not do anything that goes against the rules."

Hun Ruoruo showed a sweet smile, her voice was soft and appropriate,
"It's a bit of a coincidence. It was because of my senior brother's initiative to petition that I was able to join the academy today."

"Haha, it's an honor for Canaan Academy to be valued by a girl like you."

The old man's face twitched slightly, and Hu Qian seemed to have been holding back for a long time, unable to express himself.

"Girl, that boy's potential is indeed very strong. If he is trained well, he will probably become a peak powerhouse. But, with your strength, why do you call him "Senior Brother"?"

"As the sect says, those who are more accomplished come first. Master is not the best at cultivation, so naturally we won't rank people based on their strength."

Hun Ruoruo blinked and explained with reason and evidence.

"This"

Hu Qian's expression changed, and he was speechless, feeling both amused and helpless. Even if that kid turned the world upside down, it was impossible for him to surpass the Douhuang powerhouse in some aspects, right?

What exactly do these two little guys learn from their so-called master?

"Okay, Old Man Hu, it's getting late. If you have anything to say, ask the girl another day."

The tall and straight old man suddenly spoke, his eyes solemnly sweeping over the gentle girl in front of him, then he sighed, then smiled and said:
"Anyway, welcome to Canaan Academy, Ruoruo."
