Battle Through the Heavens, Reborn as Xiao Yan's Sister

Chapter 123 Xiao Yu and Xiao Mei (Two-in-one, please subscribe)

The next morning, early in the morning,
Xiao Yue took Xiao Xun'er to explore Canaan City. This city truly lived up to its reputation as the most prosperous and peaceful city in the Black Corner Region. Although it was scorching hot, the streets were still bustling with people.

Canaan was noticeably more lively today.

After all, the Heavenly Rank Auction, spearheaded by Canaan Academy, is being held in the next few days, so various forces in the Black Corner Region are sending people to gather here.

Because it was built in the center of the Black Corner region, this city is quite inclusive.

Even the most heinous villains on Canaan Academy's own wanted list in the Black Corner Region will not be actively apprehended by Canaan Academy's law enforcement team as long as they do not cause trouble or commit evil deeds within the city.

of course,

However, some special cases are another matter.

"Sister Xiao Yue, over here!"

Perhaps it was because her favorite sister Yue'er was by her side, but since leaving Canaan Academy, Xiao Xun'er seemed to have become much more lively. Occasionally, her laughter, like the sound of silver bells, would ring out, making the streets, which were under the scorching sun, feel a little cooler.

Xiao Yue stayed by the girl's side the whole time. Her long hair cascaded down to her waist like a waterfall, shimmering with a faint silver light. Today, she was wearing a simple silver blood-patterned robe, which made her look less aloof and heroic than usual, but more serene, noble, and gentle.

The two strolled through the streets of Canaan, attracting countless stares. However, due to their faint yet terrifying aura, no one dared to approach them.

The shops lining both sides of the street were dazzling and overwhelming. Xiao Xun'er held Xiao Yue's hand and strolled through the shops one by one. She was like a clingy kitten, unwilling to be separated from her sister for even a moment.

At this time,

A noisy commotion came from ahead.

"So what if you're the young master of the Blood Sect! This is Canaan City, not your Blood Sect's cemetery!" A tall, fiery young woman, dressed in the uniform of Canaan Academy, shouted coldly, holding a whip in her hand.

Several female students from Canaan College were standing behind her.

Opposite him was a handsome young man with an excessively pale face. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be only about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, but judging from his aura, he was probably at least at the Dou Ling level. This level of strength was comparable to the geniuses of the inner academy.

"Hey, look over there, are those people from the Blood Sect?"

"As expected, it's those perverted guys. I didn't expect them to come to Canaan City for the auction. The one in the middle, that should be Fan Ling, the young sect master of the Blood Sect, right? Hehe, I heard that the disappearance of an elder of the Eight Doors not long ago was related to him."

"His entire body was drained of blood, looking as if it had been forcibly drained. Only the Blood Sect of the Black Corner Region could do something like this, since they specialize in sucking human blood to practice their skills."

"Shh, keep your voice down. His father is a Dou Huang powerhouse ranked fifth on the Black List."

"What's there to be afraid of? This is Canaan City. Even if the Blood Sect Master himself came, it would only add another Dou Huang corpse to the Death Tree!" someone sneered.

I could hear whispers coming from the crowd.

The Blood Sect's young master, Fan Ling, couldn't help but turn grim. Accustomed to lording it over others in the Black Corner Region, he snorted coldly, about to lash out.

"What happened?"

Xiao Yue walked slowly towards Xiao Xun'er.
Upon seeing them, everyone around them instinctively made way for them.

"That weak-willed brat just made suggestive remarks to us! He even tried to lay a hand on Mei'er!" Xiao Yu said.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yue raised her eyebrows slightly. This scene seemed somewhat familiar. She couldn't help but glance at the frail girl hiding behind Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yue recognized the frail-looking girl.

She was one of the Xiao family members who entered Canaan Academy for further studies along with Xiao Yan, Xiao Ning, Xiao Yu and others. She was born with a charming nature and used to follow her younger brother around when she was young. Because of her charming nature, she was very easy to attract some ill-intentioned looks and was often harassed by some people. This happened once in Wutan City.

However, today's encounter was with Fan Ling, the young master of the Blood Sect! And coincidentally, Xiao Yue bumped into him again...

"Kidney deficiency?"

Fan Ling was so angry at Xiao Yu's words that his face turned ashen. As the young master of the Blood Sect, although his face was a little pale, it was only because of his cultivation technique. When had anyone ever called him a guy with kidney deficiency?
However, just as he was about to lash out, an elderly man beside him stopped him.

"Young Master, please calm down," the old man advised in a low voice. "Canaan Academy is not to be trifled with, and there are too many people around here to make a move."

After Fan Ling calmed down from the old man's words, he gave Xiao Yue and the others a lewd look and said coldly:

"I've long heard that Canaan Academy is teeming with beauties, and today I've seen it for myself. But... you can't stay at Canaan Academy forever, can you? Beyond Canaan City lies the Black Corner Region... hehe..."

After uttering that harsh remark,

Fan Ling immediately turned and left with his men, as he was not about to let the matter rest so easily.

After all, as the young master of the Blood Sect, he was used to running rampant in the Black Corner Region. Although Canaan City was indeed not a place where he could run wild at will, once he left Canaan City, it would be a different story!
Xiao Yue watched their departing figures quietly. She naturally understood their thoughts. The reason she didn't choose to attack in the street was that this wasn't her Wutan City, and the rules of Canaan City still had to be followed.

but,

Just as Fan Ling said, once we leave the city, things will be a different story…

"Sister Xiao Yue, that guy with kidney deficiency gave me such an annoying look before he left..." Xiao Xun'er pouted, holding Xiao Yue's hand and saying unhappily.

The girl disliked people having disgusting thoughts about Xiao Yue. If her older sister hadn't been watching, she wouldn't have wanted to show that other side of herself in front of Xiao Yue. Otherwise, those people would have been reduced to ashes long ago.

Xiao Yue gently ruffled her hair and chuckled, "Don't worry, he won't live much longer."

"What bad luck! Every time I go out with Xiao Mei, I run into this kind of scum!" Xiao Yu muttered in dissatisfaction from a distance.

"Cousin, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. Now that Brother Xiao Yan isn't here, I'll wear a veil when I go out from now on." Xiao Mei timidly tugged at Xiao Yu's sleeve.

It's clear she's a big fan of Xiao Yan; she can't stop talking about him in just a couple of sentences.

"This has nothing to do with you, it's not your fault. Besides, your innate allure can't be hidden, even if you wear a veil it won't help. The fault lies with these guys whose minds are full of lust!" Xiao Yu said coldly.

Seeing her fierce, motherly demeanor, Xiao Yue couldn't help but chuckle.

It's clear that her temper is as fiery as her figure. If she hadn't been weak, she probably would have drawn her sword and attacked the Blood Sect's young master.

"You two will cultivate with my class from now on," Xiao Yue said.

When they were out and about, she was a fellow member of the Xiao family and didn't mind helping each other out.

Upon hearing this, the Xiao sisters were overjoyed. Although they were not clear about Xiao Yue's current strength, they could vaguely sense her special status at Canaan Academy. With the guidance of Xiao Yue, a Heaven-ranked instructor, the young members of the Xiao family at Canaan Academy would definitely receive more preferential treatment than others!
It should be noted that there are only a handful of Heavenly Rank instructors in the entire Canaan Academy!

……

The Blood Sect's young master was just a minor incident.

After things came to a close, Xiao Yue led Xiao Xun'er to continue strolling around Canaan City.
Of course, Xiao Yue did not forget her goal for the day, so after wandering around for a while, she headed towards the Canaan City Auction House.

……

The entrance to the Canaan City Auction House

An elderly man in a crimson robe stood there expressionlessly. He possessed the cultivation level of a Battle King and served as an enforcement elder at Canaan Academy. He was currently standing at the entrance of the auction house, guarding the gate.

Around the old man stood dozens of young men and women, all students of Canaan College, dressed in light blue robes.

but,

Anyone with a discerning eye can sense that the demeanor of these young men and women is quite different from that of the inexperienced students in the academy.

It's easy to tell from the badges bearing the image of two blood-dripping swords engraved on the chests of their uniform light blue robes that they exude a more chilling aura than the ordinary students in the academy! Like sharp swords, they are ready to be drawn at any moment.

These are the members of the Enforcement Council of Canaan Academy. Those selected are all elites among the students, with the lowest level being an eight-star Dou Shi.

The Black Corner Region is in a state of chaos. Even though Canaan City is located in a peaceful area, the daily flow of people in and out of the city is enormous, and the population is a mixed bag. Therefore, every day, law enforcement elders lead members of the law enforcement council to patrol the city.

"Da da da!"

The tranquility of the street was broken by the sound of rapid hoofbeats in the distance. A group of burly men riding iron-winged winged horses galloped towards them. The leader was a hulking man wearing a black cloak, whose sharp eyes, like those of an eagle, revealed an arrogant and domineering air.

The man reined in his horse in front of the auction hall, dismounted, and strode toward the elder of law enforcement. He gave a slight bow and said in a deep and powerful voice, "I am Lei Bao, representing the Eight Gates of Black Seal City, and I have come to participate in the Heavenly Auction of Canaan City."

The elder in charge of law enforcement raised an eyebrow, seemingly having heard of the name before. He said calmly, "So you are Elder Lei of the Eight Doors. I have long admired your name. Please show me your invitation."

Without further ado, Lei Bao took out a gleaming golden invitation from his pocket and handed it to the law enforcement elder.

The elder in charge of law enforcement accepted the invitation, examined it carefully, and nodded after confirming it was in order: "Please come in. I'm sure you're all familiar with the rules of Canaan City. If you dare to cause trouble in the city and bring the evil influence of the Black Corner Region here... hehe..."

The elder's words carried a chilling undertone, sending shivers down one's spine.

The representative from the Eight Doors felt a slight chill. In terms of strength, he was on par with the Dou Wang-level law enforcement elder, but the Canaan Academy he represented was something to be wary of.

Shortly after the people from the Eight Doors entered the auction hall

The figures of Xiao Yue and her companions slowly appeared at the street entrance and walked towards them.

Upon seeing this, the law enforcement elder who had just been indifferent stepped forward, cupped his hands, and smiled, "You must be Instructor Xiao Yue. I've long admired your name. The Ninth Elder already gave me instructions. Please follow me, and I will show you the way."

Xiao Yue smiled slightly.
Then, together with Xiao Xun'er and the others, they followed the law enforcement elder toward the VIP passage.

She knew who the Ninth Elder was, naturally the Elder Ming who had introduced her. In the past two years, her younger brother Xiao Yan and the other members of the Xiao family in Canaan Academy had received a lot of help from him.

"Dang~"

A clear, crisp chime suddenly rang out, echoing throughout the entire venue, signaling the start of the auction.

On the auction stage, array formations and restrictions hummed and slowly extended upwards, protecting the stage—a protective measure.

The VIP lounges on the second floor are like small, semi-open rooms, with a unique design that exudes extravagance. Looking down, one can have an excellent view of every corner of the auction hall.

"This sword is named Cold Edge. It is forged from top-grade cold iron and can cut through iron like mud. Furthermore, a third-grade ice-type magic core has been perfectly inlaid by a master craftsman. If someone who cultivates water or ice attributes wields it to fight, its power will definitely be even greater. Starting price: 100,000 gold coins."

The auctioneer on the high platform held a long, azure sword. With a tremor of the sword, a faint chill rose up, forming a wisp of white mist.

The first bidding, after lasting several minutes, was successfully completed by a thin man who excitedly bought the item for 150,000 gold coins.

After the successful completion of the first auction, a dazzling array of treasures began to appear on the auction stage: precious armor, fighting techniques, cultivation methods, medicinal herbs, and more.

Xiao Yue sat on the soft chair, paying no attention to the initial auction items, but slowly scanning the other VIP private rooms around her.

Most of the people in these elegant pavilions are not simple people. Although they only account for a small part of the strong in the Black Corner Region, they represent various forces of different sizes. For example, the young master of the Blood Sect, Fan, was among them.

Time passes slowly,
"Millennial Soul-Slaying Ghost Face Flower, starting price 800,000 gold coins!"

This is exactly what Xiao Yue needed, and now it has finally made its appearance.

"Eight hundred and fifty thousand!"

The auctioneer had barely finished speaking when someone shouted out from below.

"Nine hundred thousand!"

There were clearly many people interested in the Yin-Yang Ghost Face Flower, so in less than a minute, the previous bidding price was surpassed, and the bidding voices rose and fell in the auction hall, with the price soaring to around one hundred and twenty.

Just as the price hovered around 1.2 million, Xiao Yue spoke up, "1.5 million."

She immediately asked for 300,000 yuan, wanting to buy the Yin-Yang Ghost Face Flower in one go.

The room fell silent upon hearing her offer; the price was clearly beyond the value of the medicinal herb itself, and many people began to hesitate.

"One million six hundred thousand."

A hoarse voice broke the silence. Xiao Yue frowned slightly and looked in the direction of the voice. She saw that the owner of the voice was an old man sitting in a dark corner, wearing a black cloak. Most of his face was hidden in the darkness, and his true appearance could not be seen.

Xiao Yue's heart stirred slightly, but she didn't want to say anything. In this kind of situation, it was common for people to fight for treasures. Besides, what she needed might not be something that others didn't need either.

"Two million."

Xiao Yue spoke calmly, raising the price by 400,000 this time.

Silence fell again in the room. The old man seemed to be weighing the pros and cons, and after a moment, he did not speak again.

but,

Just when Xiao Yue thought victory was in her grasp,
"Two million and one gold coins."

A slightly cold and lazy voice rang out from the side pavilion, belonging to the young master of the Blood Sect.

Xiao Yue couldn't help but laugh when she heard the price.
She didn't bid any further; after all... she wouldn't compete with a dead man.

These medicinal herbs were bought for Queen Medusa to use in her alchemy; that queen has quite a temper…
