Chapter 87: Departure, Jia Ma Empire
Hearing this, Xiao Hu, who was next to Xiao Yu, also looked at Xiao Shan curiously. Witness the debut of this chapter, unveiled through Ñôv€l--B1n.
He had always been curious about Xiao Ming, who rarely mingled with others when he was in the Xiao family.
After leaving the Xiao family for so many years, the only person in the entire Xiao family who knew him best was Xiao Shan, who had joined the Jia Nan Academy with him.
He had only met Xiao Ming a couple of times before, and to put it mildly, it had actually been a long time since he had seen Xiao Ming.
"Cousin Xiao Ming, he's gone to say goodbye to his master, let's go wait for him on the flying magical beast." Xiao Shan explained.
When the flying magical beast was about to arrive at Jia Nan City, Xiao Ming walked away from the flying magic beast alone and headed to his master's residence.
After all, the matter of picking up the others could be handled by Xiao Shan alone, there was no need for the two of them to go together.
Hearing Xiao Shan's explanation, Xiao Yu and Xiao Hu nodded their heads in bewilderment.
They knew that Xiao Ming had a master at the Jia Nan Academy, but they didn't know exactly which tutor he was, mainly because they had never actively inquired about such things.
"Alright, don't freeze here, hurry up and let's go." Xiao Shan turned around after walking two steps and found that both Xiao Yu and Xiao Hu were still stuck in the same place, so he couldn't help but urge.
"Let's go!"
...
Elder Huo's residence had not changed much, it was still the same small courtyard built entirely of bamboo.
Looking at the small quiet courtyard in front of him, Xiao Ming pushed open the courtyard door and slowly walked towards the room door, just as he was about to push it open, the room door was pushed open and a pretty face appeared in his eyes.
"Xiao Ming!"
Xiao Ming looked at the surprised young woman and smiled, "Long time no see you, Hu Jia, why are you here with the master?"
When Xiao Ming was looking for his master, Elder Huo, sometimes he also looked for Hu Jia, so over the years, they haven't had much of a connection between the two of them.
"My grandfather asked me to deliver something to Grandpa Huo, I didn't expect you to come today. Speaking of which, it's been a few months since you've come to see me." Hu Jia pouted as she tossed her hair back coquettishly.
In the intervening six years, Hu Jia's body had gradually grown, and at 14 years old and in her prime, this move had a different flavor.
He had no say in whether Xiao Ming wanted to return.
After all, young people always have to leave and go on their way, let alone return to his family, and he had taught his precious disciple everything he knew over the years.
His disciple was also exceptionally competent and had been able to surpass him, so now he could only advise him to stay safe.
Xiao Ming nodded silently, indicating that he would pay attention, and then took out another bottle of jade from his storage ring.
"Master, this is a Zong Breaking Pill, a small token of appreciation from your disciple."
Seeing the jade bottle in Xiao Ming's hand, Elder Huo revealed a look of surprise.
"Zong Breaking Pill! You've made rapid progress in your alchemy skills in these few months, you can already refine pills of this difficulty."
In fact, Xiao Ming did not refine the Zong Breaking Pill, the Zong Breaking Pill in his hand he actually obtained from the simulator, but at his master's excitement, he smiled and handed the jade bottle to him without explaining anything.
"Since it's a token of appreciation, I won't refuse." Looking at his disciple, Elder Huo stroked his white beard, since Xiao Ming could already refine the Zong Breaking Pill, there was no need for him to refuse his disciple's wishes.
After receiving the pill, Elder Huo gave him some more advice, waved his hand, and let Xiao Ming leave.
After leaving the small courtyard, Xiao Ming looked back toward the house before two wings appeared on his back and he rushed violently into the sky.
Hearing the commotion in the small courtyard, Elder Huo inside the house sighed, "He has grown up..."
Evidently, farewells were always sad.
...
With Xiao Ming's speed, it wouldn't take long to fly from Elder Huo's residence to Jia Nan City.
A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Ming landed in front of Xiao Shan amidst countless envious and astonished looks.
"How is it, have you picked up the others?". Ignoring the gazes coming from all sides, looking at Xiao Shan who was waiting alone beside the Griffin Beast, Xiao Ming asked.
"Done, everyone is inside."
Xiao Shan pointed at the wooden house on the Griffin Beast and said, this Griffin Beast they borrowed had a wooden house, without it, staying on the back of the Griffin Beast all the time was fine for them, but Xiao Yu and Xiao Hu couldn't bear it.
"It's good that everyone is already here, let's go up together, it's time to go home!"
