People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 216 Acquaintances at Canaan Academy

The sun shone brightly, the sky was cloudless, and beams of light, carrying intense heat, poured down continuously. In this scorching weather, even the trees lining the roadside drooped listlessly.

On the wide road, a convoy of horses galloped at breakneck speed, raising plumes of dust that shot into the sky.

"Quickly inform the patriarch, something terrible has happened!"

The caravan sped to the city gate, and a middle-aged man jumped down from the carriage and spoke urgently to the group of people waiting at the gate.

Upon seeing the badge on the middle-aged man's body, the expressions of those in the city who heard the voice changed slightly.

Because that badge is one that only Han family stewards are qualified to wear!

The Han family and the Hong family are the two largest families in Tianbei City.

The fact that someone of such status could be in such a panic has everyone wondering what happened.
This question did not trouble everyone for long.

The mystery was solved the very next day at noon.

Interestingly, the news didn't come from the Han family, but rather from their rivals, the Hong family.

Just the night before, Hong Chen, on his way home, encountered a powerful enemy and died on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, Elder Yang Lei, one of the four elders of the Wind, Cloud, Thunder and Lightning of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, tracked them down and was captured instantly.

Yesterday afternoon, Fei Tian, ​​the master of Fenglei North Pavilion, personally took action, but his attempt backfired. Not only did he fail to regain his footing, but he also revealed his Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Body.

These events, one after another, instantly ignited the atmosphere in Tianbei City, with people discussing them everywhere.

"Hey buddy, is your information reliable?"

"Absolutely! Let me tell you, this morning a disciple from Fenglei Beige went to the Hong family to demand an explanation. And coincidentally, he is my cousin's cousin. We were having dinner together just an hour ago. How could he be lying when he said it himself?"

"What then?"

"What happened next is no secret. The two powerful figures who suppressed the Northern Pavilion Master and Elder Yang Lei immediately ordered the Fenglei Northern Pavilion to relocate within three days, or face the consequences. The Han family's convoy happened to be nearby when they heard this, which is why they were in such a hurry yesterday."

"I see! However, the Wind and Thunder Pavilion is incredibly powerful, with a Thunder Venerable backing it up. I'm afraid they won't compromise so easily, will they?"

"You wouldn't know this, but those two mysterious powerhouses are also at the Dou Zun level. There are rumors that they are members of the demon serpent Xia Mang's clan. However, one of them seems to be in a bad state, but we don't know the specifics."

"It seems we can only wait three days, no, two days, for the results. This time, we might have a chance to witness a battle at the Dou Zun level!"

In a luxurious restaurant in Tianbei City, a group of diners gathered together, discussing something with great interest.

Neither of them noticed that at the table by the window, a young man in a white robe was listening and couldn't help but chuckle.

The people of Xia Mang, the demon serpent, certainly have a rich imagination.

After listening for a while longer, just as Chen Xiao was about to leave and go back to his room to rest, a silver-clad figure slowly appeared at the stairs of the restaurant and then stepped onto the stairs to the second floor.

As soon as the silver-clad figure appeared, the second floor became much quieter, and many admiring gazes turned towards her.

Her skin was as white as snow, and she wore a silver dress. She was tall and well-proportioned with smooth lines, exuding a sense of strength and elegance.

Most striking was her long, dazzling silver hair, which cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall.

Under everyone's gaze, she looked around and finally fixed her eyes on the young man by the window. She smiled sweetly and then gracefully walked closer.

"Han Yue, a disciple of Zixiao Pavilion, greets the Pavilion Master."

Upon approaching, Han Yue ignored the scrutinizing gazes around her and bowed respectfully.

Not to mention the diners on the second floor, even Chen Xiao, the person involved, had doubts at this moment.

"The Pavilion Master is not often in the Pavilion, so he may not know that after I left the academy last month, I spent a few days training in the Black Corner Region. It was at that time that I joined the Purple Cloud Pavilion. In fact, it's not just me; almost all of the top ten on the Strong Ranking in our year have joined the Purple Cloud Pavilion."

Noticing Chen Xiao's expression, Han Yue immediately offered a considerate explanation.

After hearing her explanation, Chen Xiao suddenly understood.

When he returned to Zixiao Pavilion last time, Hai Bodong mentioned that since Canaan Academy and Zixiao Pavilion started their school-enterprise cooperation, students from Canaan Academy would basically join Zixiao Pavilion and take on the identity of an ordinary disciple whenever they went to the Black Corner Region for training.

Because of the protection of the Purple Cloud Pavilion, they have an extra layer of protection in the Black Corner Region.

Although the people of the Black Corner are unreasonable and have a bad reputation, under normal circumstances, no one dares to openly oppose them.

That alone is enough to attract students to the college.

Chen Xiao didn't pay much attention to it at the time, and didn't ask which students had joined, so he was a little confused when he heard Han Yue's self-introduction.

"I see. Since we're on the same side, let's sit down and talk."

Upon hearing this, Han Yue hesitated, feeling that it was too casual and might be impolite.

After all, she had heard the rumors about Tianbei City. As a member of the Han family, she knew more and had some guesses in her mind. "It's alright, sit down. I'm also a student of Canaan Academy. In a way, you're my junior. I saw you from afar when we were dealing with the Fallen Heart Flame." Chen Xiao smiled slightly.

What he said was all true. It wasn't that he was deliberately paying attention to Han Yue; it was simply because her silver hair made her stand out like a bright light bulb in the crowd, making her hard to miss.

Hearing Chen Xiao say this, Han Yue sat down as instructed, but her body was ramrod straight.

It was clear that she was still a little nervous.

Chen Xiao didn't mind and laughed, "How did you know I came to Tianbei City?"

"To be honest, I guessed it. Yesterday, my Han family caravan rushed back to the family and said that they heard someone in the Ten Thousand Snake Gorge declare war on the Wind and Thunder Pavilion and even mentioned the Purple Cloud Pavilion. I suspected that the Pavilion Master had arrived, so I had people pay more attention. After all, Tianbei City is not small in the Tianbei Desert and is not that far from the Ten Thousand Snake Gorge. The probability that the Pavilion Master will stay here is quite high."

Han Yue did not hide anything and truthfully explained her reasoning process.

Previously at the academy, she only needed to focus on her studies and manage the academy faction she had created; she didn't need to concern herself too much with external forces.

Now that she has graduated and returned to her family, she needs to start considering issues from the family's perspective.

In the north, a behemoth like the Fenglei Beige Pavilion is so large that a single move can have far-reaching consequences.

Once the Purple Cloud Pavilion takes its place, the power structure of Tianbei will be reshuffled.

The Hong family is a case in point.

With the death of their most valued member, Hong Chen, the Hong family will not immediately decline, but all the effort they have put in will be wasted. It will not be easy to cultivate another one, which gives the Han family time to catch up. With the other family exhausted and us strong, perhaps in three to five years, the Han family will be able to completely surpass the Hong family.

Therefore, it was one thing if they didn't know Chen Xiao had come to Tianbei City, but now that they did, it was perfectly reasonable for Han Yue to come and pay her respects, both from the perspective of her family and from the perspective of a disciple of Zixiao Pavilion.

"You are indeed meticulous and bold. Knowing that I am at odds with Fenglei Pavilion, you still dare to get involved with me at this time."

Having understood why Han Yue had appeared, Chen Xiao gave a sarcastic compliment.

He wasn't averse to this behavior; in life, one always faces many opportunities, and being able to seize them is a skill in itself.

Just like now, the Han family can't really help Chen Xiao much, but Han Yue appeared before the battle and made her stance clear. No matter what the outcome, Chen Xiao will remember that the Han family of Tianbei City was the first force in Zhongzhou to side with Zixiao Pavilion.

"I'm glad you don't mind, Pavilion Master. I've come here today mainly to invite you to stay at my Han family's place, so I can show you hospitality. Although the Han family's place isn't large, it's still better than inns and restaurants," Han Yue said with a smile, extending the invitation.

Chen Xiao considered it for a moment, then shook his head slightly.

Seeing Han Yue's smile freeze, he then said with a smile, "Don't overthink it. It has nothing to do with the Han family. The main thing is that I want to travel alone. Over the years, I have been to many places, but most of the time I have people with me. Now I have a rare opportunity to travel alone, so I have to experience it properly. After all, Xian'er and the others will be back in a while."

Of course, Chen Xiao didn't mean that being alone was better. He also enjoyed the enviable days with Little Fairy Doctor and the others by his side.

Hearing Chen Xiao say this, Han Yue finally felt relieved.

"In that case, I will not insist on it, Pavilion Master. This is all the information my Han family has been able to gather about the Wind and Thunder Pavilion. I hope it can be of some help to you."

As she spoke, Han Yue took out a notebook and handed it over.

Chen Xiao took it and flipped through it. Inside were densely packed, neat small characters that detailed the many powerful figures of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion.

At the very front, without a doubt, is Venerable Lei.

Thunder Venerable: Peak Three-Star Dou Zun
Combat Technique: Three Thousand Thunder Illusions, Three Thousand Thunder Movements…

His strength, his fighting techniques, and even his past achievements are all clearly recorded.

Following Lei Zunzhe were the pavilion masters of the four pavilions of wind and thunder, as well as some elders of the Dou Zong level, such as Feng Yun Lei Dian of the North Pavilion.

Of course, this is all information that others have openly revealed, and can only be used as a reference to get a general understanding.

"Thank you for your thoughtfulness. Seeing you today reminded me of something. I've already chosen Qifeng Mountain as the location for Zixiao Pavilion. Regardless of whether Fenglei Beige is willing to move, even if they are, it will definitely leave behind a mess, and reconstruction will be inevitable. If the Han family is willing, I'll entrust this matter to you before Zixiao Pavilion's people arrive. Once the people from the Northwest arrive, you can then coordinate how much resources have been consumed. How does that sound?"

After reading Lei Zunzhe's information, Chen Xiao put the note into his storage ring and looked up to say something.

Han Yue was taken aback, then excitedly stood up and agreed.

"Yes, of course! Thank you, Pavilion Master. The Han family will certainly not let you down!"

"Okay, then you go back and prepare. Two days later, bring your people to Qifeng Mountain and start work immediately."

"Yes!"

Han Yue bowed and then quickly left.

People who have just graduated from college are always so energetic.

Watching Han Yue's hurried departure, Chen Xiao smiled and looked out the window at the horizon.

For some reason, I'm starting to miss Little Dragon Man.

Having been back on Long Island for so long, Zi Yan must have grown quite a bit by now, right?
