People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 53: Get ready and move forward

Chen Xiao originally had some plans in mind regarding Qinglin's arrangements.

After officially starting to practice, this girl will make incredible progress.

He just needs to bring her to Canaan College and let her stay in Canaan City for a while. When the inner courtyard selection begins, Chen Xiao will have the opportunity to meet the person in charge of the inner courtyard, Elder Su Qian.

By then, Chen Xiao would reveal a little bit of Qinglin's talent. Given the temperament of the great elder, there was a high hope that he would bring Qinglin with him.

Moreover, even if Su Qian rejected this matter, it would not be a big problem.

It takes a long time for others to cultivate to the level where they can enter the inner courtyard, but for Qinglin, it may only take a year or two, and then he can still be with Chen Xiao.

Then, with the resources of the academy, and Chen Xiao's ability to use the advance in his mind, Qing Lin's improvement speed will definitely not be slower than going to the Tianshe Mansion.

Even when the time is right in the future, Chen Xiao can advance the inheritance of the Heavenly Snake Mansion.

Based on the above, Chen Xiao never thought of sending this girl to the Tianshe Mansion.

However, plans cannot keep up with changes.

He clearly remembered that when Qinglin came back from Qingshan Town, he was very curious about Canaan College and had even asked about it specifically.

But after returning to Wutan City for a few months, this girl's mind had quietly changed.

The reason…

"Tell me, what happened?"

Returning to Xun'er Courtyard from the enrollment square, Chen Xiao looked at the two girls sitting opposite him.

Qinglin is very obedient and inexperienced. If there are no other influences, the possibility of him changing his mind is very small.

Therefore, the root of the problem most likely lies with Xun'er.

"Sister Xun'er said that the young master's strength has improved at an extremely fast rate over the years. After entering Canaan Academy, he will receive systematic training and his accumulation will become increasingly profound. By then, there will inevitably be another qualitative change."

"Although Qinglin has the Green Snake Triple Flower Pupil, if he continues to stay by the Master's side, his growth rate may still not keep up with his pace and he may become a burden. So Sister Xun'er wanted to find a better place for Qinglin. Sister Xun'er said that there, Qinglin would receive the best training and would definitely surprise the Master within ten years."

Without hiding anything, Qinglin revealed all the secrets Xun'er had told her in private. It was rare for her to say so much at once.

Being 'betrayed' by the little girl, a trace of helplessness flashed across Xun'er's pretty face, but she did not stop it.

It's good to talk about this matter.

After listening to this, Chen Xiao nodded slightly. He roughly understood.

After five months of getting along, Xun'er really developed a fondness and pity for Qinglin. In addition, Qinglin had the Green Snake Three-Flower Pupil, and her foundation was not bad, so she decided to help her.

If Chen Xiao guessed correctly, the so-called good place must be the ancient clan.

The Heavenly Snake Mansion is not worthy of Xun'er's praise.

The ancient clan can be called a giant in the entire continent. With Xun'er's identity, taking care of Qinglin is naturally a simple task.

In this way, Qinglin can be better trained, and Xun'er will have a companion when she returns, which can be said to be killing two birds with one stone.

"Did Xun'er tell you where she would take you and how she would train you?"

Qinglin shook his head, looking a little confused.

"Then aren't you afraid that Xun'er is deceiving you?"

"Sister Xun'er is very kind to you and me, so Qinglin trusts her. My lord, Qinglin is not stupid and will not trust others easily."

Chen Xiao was indeed a little worried about Qinglin's personality, as he was too gullible.

He and Xun'er naturally had no ill intentions, but if it were someone else, it would be hard to say.

However, this girl was able to hear his worries, and it seemed that she was quite smart.

Chen Xiao nodded slightly and said nothing more, turning to look at Xun'er beside him.

"I know Xun'er has an extraordinary background and she definitely won't stay in Wutan City forever. From what Qinglin just said, is Xun'er planning to leave too?"

Chen Xiao knew exactly why Xun'er came.

Now that I have been in the Xiao family for seven years, I can say that I have had a relatively good childhood.

As for the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, Ling Ying probably searched the Xiao family secretly, and they should have some guesses about its whereabouts.

Therefore, whether to talk to the Xiao family directly or to suppress the matter, all that is missing is Xun'er's decision.

In this case, it is not surprising that she returned to the ancient clan early.

"Well, I'll stay for a few more months at most. Xun'er still has some small matters to deal with. When Xun'er is ready to leave, I will take Qinglin to Canaan College and say goodbye to Brother Chen Xiao."

Xun'er has never denied her origins, although she has never explained them in detail.

It would be extremely difficult for ordinary people to enter Canaan College to look for someone, but for Xun'er, it was no problem. Qinglin, who was standing next to her, was surprised when she heard Xun'er's answer. She had thought that after Chen Xiao left in a few days, it would be a long time before they would see each other again. She didn't expect that she could still visit him at Canaan College.

For her, this was a pleasant surprise.

Chen Xiao nodded slightly. "Then I'll entrust Qinglin to Xun'er's care. I'll be at Canaan College awaiting your arrival. Oh, and here are two Earth Fire Lotus Seeds and a Lotus Platform. They're all my gains from my last journey. They're considered companion items of the Strange Fire. Unfortunately, they're of limited use to me, so I'll give them to Xun'er."

Looking at the two jade bottles and lotus platform that Chen Xiao took out, Xun'er's expression changed slightly.

"Brother Chen Xiao, I regard Qinglin as my sister. Even if you don't tell me, I won't let her suffer any loss. These things..."

"Xun'er, don't misunderstand me. I know about your relationship with Qinglin. These Earth Fire Lotus Seeds and Lotus Platform are not rewards. Just consider them as a parting gift from me. In my hands, they can only be used as bargaining chips, but they may be of some use to you in the future. Don't worry, I still have two Earth Fire Lotus Seeds on me."

The Earth Core Lotus Platform is a good thing. People with fire attributes can speed up their cultivation by sitting cross-legged on it.

The lower the realm, the more significant the effect.

Chen Xiao was reluctant to sell this thing, and it was even more impossible to give it to an outsider. After thinking about it, he decided to give it to Xun'er.

Chen Xiao had taken advantage of Xun'er a few times before, which was one reason. Now their relationship was getting closer, which was a second reason.

I wouldn't feel bad if I gave it to Xun'er.

The same goes for the Earth Fire Lotus Seeds, but their value is slightly inferior to that of the Earth Core Lotus Platform.

Chen Xiao left two as backup, which was enough.

After all, with the advance payment, he actually doesn't lack resources for cultivation.

After hearing Chen Xiao's explanation, Xun'er finally smiled.

"Since it's a gift, Xun'er won't refuse it. However, Xun'er only needs to accept the lotus platform and one lotus seed. Brother Chen Xiao, please keep one extra one just in case."

Xun'er didn't know that Chen Xiao could use the advance payment, so she immediately found an excuse to return one.

As the daughter of the ancient clan leader, she has no shortage of resources. Whether it is a lotus platform or lotus seeds, the commemorative significance is even greater, so leaving behind one lotus seed is enough.

"Okay, then let's do as Xun'er said." Chen Xiao didn't act pretentiously and accepted the result calmly.

"Brother Chen Xiao did remind Xun'er, but Xun'er isn't ready yet. I'll give this gift to Brother Chen Xiao when we go to Canaan College to say goodbye."

...

In the following days, Wutan City was still bustling, especially the admissions square, which was packed with people.

During the period when the admissions team was actively recruiting students, a piece of gossip gradually spread in Wutan City.

It is said that there is a new student who passed the assessment this year and is a monster. He has reached the level of three-star Dou Ling at the age of twelve!
Recruiting such a new person has made the female instructor of the admissions team smile from ear to ear these days.

The news spread like wildfire, and Chen Xiao's name frequently appeared in public.

Unfortunately, without seeing it with their own eyes, most people still have doubts about it.

In fact, in the Jia Ma Empire, they had never heard of such a monster. Even Xiao Yan, who was once in the limelight, was nothing compared to him.

After such a comparison, many people suddenly realized that it seemed like they hadn't heard any news about the genius of the Xiao family for a long time?
Even when Canaan Academy was recruiting students, Xiao Yan did not show up. Is there something fishy going on?

For a time, Xiao Yan was also mentioned frequently.

Chen Xiao saw and heard the noise from the outside world, but he didn't care.

During these last few days, he relaxed himself. Apart from the medicinal bath once every three days, he spent most of his time with Xun'er and Qinglin.

They went to the Miter Auction House together and bought a storage ring for Qinglin at the super low price of 20,000 gold coins. They also went out of the city to play together, and squatted on the roads leading to Wutan City from several nearby cities. They saw young men and women coming in with high spirits and returning dejected.

Just like this, six days passed in a flash.

Finally, the day arrived for the admissions team to leave.

The freshmen who passed the assessment put on their most beautiful new clothes and gathered towards the city center under the gaze of envious eyes in the city.

Teacher Xiwen looked at these newcomers with a smile on his face.

Even if we put aside that little monster, the quality of the new recruits she recruited this year was not bad. Based on her experience, this could be ranked above the middle among all the tutors' gains.

Nodding with satisfaction, Teacher Xiwen looked at the rising sun and felt a little strange.

Where is my SSR card? Why hasn’t it arrived yet?
Urgent! Urgent!
What she didn't know was that Chen Xiao had just come out of his cultivation state.

Opening his eyes, Chen Xiao clenched his fists slightly, feeling the powerful strength in his body rising to a new level, and his brows were filled with joy.

"I didn't expect that just by relaxing for a few days, I could achieve a breakthrough earlier than expected. No wonder they say we should balance work and rest. The ancients were right!"

Jumping off the bed, Chen Xiao opened the door.

Then he saw Xun'er and Qinglin waiting outside in a pretty manner.
