Chapter 61 Xiao Yan, Until We Meet Again
(The previous chapter roughly described how Yao Ye and Liu Fuyao went too far, keeping the eavesdropping spies up until the wee hours. Driven to the brink of mental collapse, the spies decided to take revenge on Yun Congxin. They "inadvertently" spread the name of Yun Congxin as a demon, making it impossible to overturn Gu He's case. Meanwhile, the Eight Doors discovered that Fan Lao had died outside Black Seal City, causing their leader, Lian Cheng, to fall into self-doubt. Here's a brief recap of the events.)
Yun Congxin sat in the courtyard brewing and sipping tea until dawn broke and the sun rose.
He struggled with this decision for a long time, ever since he returned, and finally made up his mind.
It was time for Xiao Yan and Xiao Yu to head to Canaan Academy. Even after a thousand miles of farewell, all good things must come to an end; it was time to say goodbye.
The two elders, Jin and Yin, will likely find their way to Black Seal City soon. If I want to save Elder Qing's life, I will inevitably have to reveal my Dou Zong strength and fight these two peak Dou Huang experts.
Yun Congxin had originally planned to conceal his strength and personally escort Xiao Yan and the other to Heping Town, but now it seems they can only rely on themselves.
To be honest, Yun Congxin had no idea whether he could completely defeat the two elders, Jin and Yin.
These two performed remarkably well in the story, holding their own against Elder Su Qian, a two-star Dou Zong. Meanwhile, I inherited the title of a one-star Dou Zong from Yun Shan, who barely broke through to the Dou Zong realm with the help of pills. Not only was my advancement recent, but my Dou Qi was also weak, making me completely different from a veteran Dou Zong like Su Qian.
Although he had solidified some battle qi with the help of the Copper Cloud Staff, looking at the Xuan-rank battle skills and techniques in his hands, Yun Congxin really couldn't think of any way he could win.
"Why does it feel like my Dou Zong title is just for someone else to boost their battle record..." Yun Congxin said with a wry smile, holding his teacup.
He had originally planned to cling to Xiao Yan's coattails and drift along into the Great Thousand World, but now, Xiao Yan has just ended his three-year agreement, and he has already run into a pair of formidable rivals.
Yun Congxin earnestly reflected on his laziness and slackness, and deeply realized the principle that one must be strong to succeed.
In the Dou Qi Continent, even if you want to win easily and effortlessly, you still need to have enough strength...
"Grandmaster, what are you doing here?"
Nalan Yanran, who had come to the courtyard to practice her skills with her sword at the crack of dawn, was somewhat surprised to see Yun Congxin drinking tea and smiling bitterly.
Even Nalan Yanran is diligently cultivating!
Yun Congxin was truly distressed. He sighed with a wry smile, "Sigh, Yanran, go see if Xiao Yu has woken up yet. Grandmaster has something to tell you."
"Yes." Nalan Yanran obediently sent someone over.
After a long time, Xiao Yu finally arrived, led by Nalan Yanran.
She wore light makeup, a simple high ponytail, and fitted navy blue trousers with a gray turtleneck sweater, looking like a capable urban woman.
"Why are you so slow?" Yun Congxin asked in a low voice as Nalan Yanran walked to his side.
Nalan Yanran glanced at her clueless grandmaster, awkwardly touched her nose, and replied softly, "Maybe I didn't sleep well last night..."
Yun Congxin: "?"
But anyway, it's good that she's here. He smiled and gestured for Xiao Yu to sit down, then personally poured her a cup of tea: "Judging by the time, the inner court exams at Canaan Academy should be coming up soon, right?"
Xiao Yu accepted the tea from Yun Congxin with both hands, took a small sip, and said softly, "Actually, there's still some time to go..."
"Sigh... I originally planned to personally escort you two siblings to Canaan Academy, but now because of this auction, which has caused such a stir, I can't get away." Yun Congxin pretended not to hear what Xiao Yu was saying and went straight to the point, "Xiao Yu, go pack your things. I'll take you to find Xiao Yan. This time, you two will probably have to go to Canaan Academy by yourselves..."
"Huh?" Xiao Yu was a little surprised. She had carefully put on makeup and chosen an outfit that showed off her figure, but she didn't come here to hear this.
"So it wasn't a date after all..." she thought with a touch of disappointment.
After Xiao Yu left, Yun Congxin said to Nalan Yanran, "Black Seal City won't be peaceful in the near future, and it's probably not safe for you to stay with me. You should all stay with Mr. Guhe for now. He's a sixth-grade alchemist, and everyone in the Black Corner Region will give him some respect."
"And what about you, Grandmaster?"
"Me?" Yun Congxin smiled. "I'll go and meet the heroes of this Black Corner Region, and see just how deep the waters run here!"
Outside Black Seal City, Xiao Yan and Elder Qing did not sleep all night.
"Someone's here! It's that bastard Jia Xingshan!" Elder Qing suddenly stood up, snorted, and said, "At least he's punctual!"
Yun Congxin descended from the sky, stepping through the void. Because of the two elders, Jin and Yin, he could no longer conceal his strength.
"Xiao Yu?" Xiao Yan asked, looking at the beautiful figure behind Yun Congxin.
Yun Congxin handed a storage ring to Xiao Yu, which contained all her luggage and a Xuan-rank fighting technique.
Xiao Yu's expression was somewhat gloomy. She walked to Xiao Yan's side and saw his expression of surprise mixed with doubt. Suddenly, she felt very angry and wanted to kick him.
"Yun Xiao, you'll have to find your own way to Canaan Academy from now on," Yun Congxin said bluntly. "This Elder Qing has caused quite a bit of trouble. I promised to save her life, so I'll inevitably have to fight the old monsters of the Black Corner Region."
"At that time, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of your safety, so parting ways here would be the best choice."
Yun Congxin walked up to Xiao Yan, smiled, and patted Xiao Yan's shoulder: "The journey to Canaan is not far. We'll meet again."
At the same time, he transmitted his thoughts using his battle qi: "I've been in the Black Corner Region all this time. Remember that Yunlan Sect guest elder jade token I gave you? If you encounter any trouble you can't handle, just crush it, and I'll rush over immediately. Little one, I'm waiting for you to acquire another strange flame to help me expel the Soul Palace's secret technique!"
Xiao Yan's expression turned solemn, and he bowed respectfully to Yun Congxin, but Yun Congxin helped him up.
"Alright, there's no need for these formalities. The Black Corner Region is extremely dangerous, so please be careful along the way."
After saying that, he looked at Elder Qing and asked, "Elder Qing, shall we go?"
"They... they're gone already?" Only after Yun Congxin and Elder Qing disappeared from sight did Yao Lao's voice ring out, "This Master Yun is indeed quite good. Little fellow, you are truly blessed to have such a close friend despite the age gap."
"Sigh, it's really pathetic that a Dou Zong level expert is still using a Xuan-rank cultivation technique. What a pity, I was originally planning to give him an Di-rank technique..."
