Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 301 Who Would Stay Out All Night?
The Fire Energy Hunting Competition basically came to an end when Xiao Yan defeated all the senior students on his own.

Apart from the other cheering freshmen, Bai Shan, who joined the senior students' camp without permission and leaked Xiao Yan's information, was despised by both freshmen and senior students. He was too embarrassed to even accept the reward, so he fled into the inner courtyard in disgrace and sought protection from his elder brother.

Knowing this, Great Elder Su Qian naturally took the opportunity to do Xiao Yan a favor and gave Bai Shan's reward to him. He also gave Xiao Yan an additional reward of 500 days of fire energy because of his unprecedented title of "Demon Head".

Even after distribution, the total amount of fire energy Xiao Yan currently had was still approaching one thousand!

It can be said that although Xiao Yan has not yet truly experienced the life of the inner courtyard, in terms of wealth, he is already better off than some of the strong people on the strong list.
"Squeak-"

Along with the sound of the wooden door being pushed open, Xiao Yan and Su Qian slowly walked into the pavilion following the dim light outside the house.

"Little guy, my previous negotiations with you took up quite a bit of time. You can ask Hu Jia about the specific matters concerning the inner courtyard. From now on, the four of you will be based here."

"Four people?"

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then asked in astonishment, "The four people the Great Elder mentioned, could it be that they are the students who made it into the top five of the selection competition with me, excluding Bai Shan?"

"Haha, this building is much bigger than what you see, and there are quite a few rooms. I didn't let you sleep in the same bed, so why are you so anxious, little guy?"

Su Qian smiled meaningfully, sizing up Xiao Yan's expression, and said, "Looking at you, are you trying to find out the whereabouts of that specially recruited student?"

The other elders might not be clear about it, but Su Qian, the chief elder of the inner court, already knew clearly about the two of them working together to cross the Black Horn Region.

A mysterious girl at the Douhuang level. Even in the entire Canaan Academy, there are very few people who can teach her. However, she is willing to set many restrictions for Xiao Yan in front of her, just to join the inner courtyard to practice with him.

With all this effort, Su Qian wouldn't believe Xiao Yan didn't care about that girl Ruoruo.

"Uh"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's expression froze instantly. The feeling of having his thoughts seen through made his face feel a little hot, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

"Don't worry, little one. Her residence is not far from the pavilion where you are."

A smile flashed across Su Qian's cloudy old eyes. He patted his shoulder and said:

"That girl said she was going to collect her reward for being a special admissions student and went to see Elder Huo. Judging by the time, she should be back soon. If you want to see her, you can go before it gets too late."

After hearing Su Qian's explanation, Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly showed surprise, and he hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "In that case, thank you very much, Great Elder Su Qian, for telling me."

"It doesn't matter."

Su Qian waved his hand, then put his palm into his sleeve and said cheerfully:

"It's getting late, so I won't waste your time here any longer. Although I know you two are close, staying out overnight is strictly prohibited in the Inner Court."

".ah?"

"That's right, young man, you still need to know how to exercise moderation."

After saying that, Su Qian patted Xiao Yan's shoulder, turned around and floated away. In the other party's stunned sight, he turned into a gust of wind and disappeared in an instant.

After Su Qian's figure disappeared for more than ten breaths, Xiao Yan's chaotic consciousness finally began to function. Countless memories of his time with the girl suddenly flooded his entire brain like a tide.

"Who would stay out all night like this old pervert?"

What echoed in the pavilion was Xiao Yan's angry roar with a red face and thick neck.

Not long after, when Xiao Yan packed his luggage and rushed to the central area of ​​the pavilion, he happened to meet Hu Jia and others who had been waiting for a long time.

"Hey, the big devil, you're finally back."

Hu Jia looked at Xiao Yan with a smile. After noticing that he was a little out of breath, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and said:

"You're such a jerk! You're obviously incredibly strong, but you're out of breath just packing your luggage. You look like a sickly person! You're really wasting your life."

"."

Xiao Yan's face twitched slightly, and he said, "Miss Hu Jia, from what I've heard, you're not interested in men, so why are you commenting on my appearance?"

"Needless to say?" Hu Jia glared at Xiao Yan and said helplessly, "If it was just Xun'er, I could still understand it as unconditional support for her brother. But why does that angel-like girl Ruoruo only revolve around you?"

"I don't agree. I was the one who greeted you first in the outer courtyard. Why do you act like you two have known each other for a long time?"

Thinking of this, she paused, and said with envy and anger: "Humph, what a lucky guy!"

"Haha, Miss Hu Jia misunderstood. We two did have a connection before."

Seeing Hu Jia's expression was almost identical to that of the other male students, Xiao Yan explained with a forced smile, but his alert level was already raised to the highest level in his heart.

This woman really has bad intentions!
Although Xiao Yan knew that when it came to cunning and character, Ruoruo was far superior to him, but unlike other men, Hu Jia's pretty face was extremely deceptive, so he had to be on guard in advance.

Thinking about this, Xiao Yan felt that it was necessary to keep his sister away from Hu Jia. This woman was a wolf in sheep's clothing.
"You mean, she and you are brothers and sisters from the same school?"

Xiao Yan's explanation made Hu Jia stunned for a moment, and then she said with some surprise:
"I see. No wonder she's a special recruit. Being able to study under the same master as a monstrous creature like you, I'm sure that girl's cultivation must have reached the Douling level, right?"

"Well, I guess so, but her situation should be a little special."

Xiao Yan spread his hands and said perfunctorily that since Ruoruo had no intention of revealing her cultivation level for the time being, he naturally would not do anything to interfere in her affairs.

"Tsk tsk, you're such a romantic guy, I really can't envy you enough."

Hu Jia curled her lips and stopped talking about gossip. Instead, she threw a green fire crystal card to Xiao Yan.

"Here, this is your exclusive reward, an upgraded Fire Crystal Card. The deeper you want to go into the Inner Courtyard's Sky Burning Refining Qi Tower, the higher-level Fire Crystal Cards you'll need. Your Green Fire Crystal Card should be considered mid-range."

"Mid-range?"

Xiao Yan took the Fire Crystal Card thrown by the other party, and a strange color flashed in his eyes. He played with it in his hands for a few times and then asked:

"I wonder what rules are used to calculate the level of this Fire Crystal Card?"

"In the inner courtyard, Fire Crystal Cards are divided into five colors from low to high: black, blue, cyan, red, and purple. Except for you, the crystal cards we have are all the lowest-level black crystal cards."

After hearing Hu Jia's introduction, Xiao Yan pondered for a moment, then nodded gently and said, "I understand. Thank you, Miss Hu Jia, for telling me. But, speaking of which, why isn't Xun'er with you guys?"

"She's tidying upstairs. This building looks quite large, but it's probably been abandoned for a long time and is just covered in dust."

Hu Jia pointed at Wu Hao, who was running back and forth with a broom in the distance, using his fighting spirit, and said, "You boys are in charge of the downstairs. There's plenty of space here, so I'll leave it to you two. Is that okay?"

"Ah."

Xiao Yan nodded with a smile, and just as he tried to move his body, the injury that he had been suppressing forcefully suddenly erupted like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

In an instant, pain poured out like a dam bursting, causing cold sweat to drip from Xiao Yan's head, and even his breathing became extremely rapid.

"Uh, ah"

He quickly spread out his palms, only to find that his originally fair palms had cracked into several horrific gaps at some point, making them as fragile as pottery about to break.

"Hey, big devil? What's wrong with you? Why do you look so ugly all of a sudden?"

Seeing this, Hu Jia hurriedly stepped forward to ask, but was slowly blocked by the other party's outstretched hand.

"No, it's okay!"

In an instant, Xiao Yan covered up the cracks on his body with a disguised fighting skill. He gasped like a cow and forced a smile.

"I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Wu Hao with the cleaning here. I have something to do and need to go out first."

"Wait, Xiao Yan, where are you going? It's going to be dark soon."

Before Hu Jia finished speaking, Xiao Yan's figure had already hurriedly disappeared at the end of the attic, leaving only his voice echoing in the place.

"What's this guy suddenly going crazy for? If the elders catch him staying out all night, he'll have his fire energy deducted!"

As Hu Jia spoke in a rather jumpy manner, Wu Hao ran back and forth in the attic with a broom in his left hand and a dustpan in his right hand, still urging his fighting spirit.
