Chapter 132: What? Father is Missing?
Jia Nan Inner Academy.
"Hu!"
Xiao Yan let out a long breath, suppressing the restless Dou Qi within him. Just now, he had successfully broken through to the level of a Four-Star Dou Spirit.
Having been in the Inner Academy for nearly two years, he was now somewhat famous within the academy.
"Teacher, Han Feng seems to have disappeared in the Black-Corner Region over the past few years. Finding him will be quite difficult without some influence!"
Xiao Yan snapped out of his cultivation state and communicated with Yao Lao's soul within the black ring.
"No need to rush. With your current strength, even if you find that traitor, you won't be able to defeat him! Let alone seize his Heavenly Flame."
Yao Lao spoke bluntly.
Though his words were a bit discouraging, they were the truth.
From the information Yao Lao had gathered, Han Feng had reached the peak of the Dou Emperor long ago.
Xiao Yan, on the other hand, was only at the Dou Spirit level. Even with the aid of Yao Lao's soul power, he could barely hold his own against a Dou Emperor.
Han Feng, who possessed a Heavenly Flame, was far stronger than the average Dou Emperor, making it impossible for Xiao Yan to defeat him.
"You should leave the Inner Academy in a while!"
Yao Lao suddenly suggested.
"Where to?" Xiao Yan asked, slightly puzzled.
"The Southern Region of Central Plains!"
Yao Lao replied, his tone carrying a hint of nostalgia as he recalled the Falling Star Pavilion, where his old friends resided.
With the help of those old friends, both Yao Lao's recovery and Xiao Yan's progress could be significantly faster.
"Alright!"
Xiao Yan agreed without asking further.
Just then, Xiao Yan received a letter from home, sent by Xiao Ning from the Outer Academy. "What? Father is missing?"
As Xiao Yan read the contents of the letter, his expression changed dramatically.
During his childhood, when he went from being a genius to a "waste," most people around him mocked and looked down on him.
But his father, Xiao Zhan, never neglected him and always encouraged and supported him.
Xiao Zhan was the person Xiao Yan cared about most in his life.
"I need to hurry back and find my father!"
The letter was instantly crushed in Xiao Yan's hand, and he prepared to leave the Inner Academy.
"Don't panic. Let's first understand what happened."
Yao Lao appeared in time to calm Xiao Yan down.
With Yao Lao's advice, Xiao Yan managed to regain his composure.
quite weak," Zi Yan muttered as she walked.
"Zi Yan, not everywhere is like Jia Nan Academy, where geniuses gather. This is where
ordinary people live their real lives."
Qing Lin, who came from humble beginnings, understood this well.
"Is that so?"
Zi Yan appeared not to understand fully.
From the time she could remember, Zi Yan had lived in Jia Nan Academy, a place teeming with geniuses. Naturally, she never saw the people who licked blood off the blade's edge.
Later, she followed Gu Fei to the Central Plains, but the areas they visited were mainly large
cities with powerful clans, as well as places like Holy Pill City, Ancient Void Dragon Island,
and the Gu Realm.
These were all places where the elite gathered, vastly different from Qingshan Town.
Zi Yan was like a princess born with a silver spoon in her mouth, never knowing the taste of
simple food.
The strong have their ways of surviving, and the weak have theirs.
Qingshan Town, being close to the Magical Beast Mountain Range, often attracted
mercenaries seeking to hunt magical beasts.
Most mercenaries were rough men of limited strength.
Their living conditions were harsh, and they rarely saw beautiful women.
Now, under Gu Fei's leadership, several beautiful women had appeared, immediately drawing
the attention of many mercenaries, some even stopping in their tracks to watch.
Cai Lin noticed their gazes and immediately released a cold aura, finding these people filthy.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Gu Fei subtly released his aura to intimidate the crowd. Most of the mercenaries were only Dou Practitioners or Dou Masters, and in front of a Dou Venerate like Gu Fei, they were as insignificant as ants.
Feeling Gu Fei's pressure, they quickly averted their gazes and became more disciplined.
This allowed Gu Fei and his group to continue strolling through Qingshan Town without any further trouble.
"Qingshan Town doesn't seem to have changed much since last time," Gu Fei remarked
softly.
Xiao Yi Xian arrived with a cheerful heart, but as she walked, she realized there weren't many
places she truly missed here.
In fact, recalling her past experiences here, Xiao Yi Xian felt a bit angry.
The only place she truly missed was there.
"Let's go to the little valley!" she suggested.
