In Battle Through the Heavens, lying down makes you stronger.

Chapter 34 Elder Ling: Can I say that I overslept?

Seeing that Yao Lao looked dazed, Xiao Yan hurriedly said,

"It's true, teacher!"

"In these three years, Ran Ge has consistently tricked me."

"He truly treats me like a brother."

Looking at Xiao Yan, who seemed somewhat panicked and genuinely sincere.

The old doctor rubbed his temples, looking pained.

"I don't know either, but he knew I was there, and he didn't ask me to come along."

"He must have some confidence in this matter."

"Don't underestimate your brother Ran. He might not have progressed as far as you in cultivation."

"But when it comes to winning hearts and minds, and valuing life, I'm far superior to you!"

Xiao Yan scratched his head, nodded as if he understood, and felt that what his teacher said made a lot of sense.

I felt that in just a few days, I had gained more knowledge than I had in the previous ten years.

Seeing Xiao Yan's bewildered expression, Yao Lao sighed softly, trying to comfort himself.

Never mind, I chose my own disciple, and I was the one who made the apprenticeship.

That's fine, let it be.

"You have three days to learn that low-level Xuan-rank combat skill called 'Absorbing Palm'."

"I will check on you in three days, and then we will go to find medicinal herbs to enhance your father's strength."

Having said that, the old doctor waved his sleeve and vanished instantly.

Xiao Yan stared blankly at the bottom of the cliff, recalling his teacher's earlier words.

Ran's trip might be dangerous!

He only regretted that he lacked the ability, otherwise he would have gone in place of his brother Ran.

No! He must work hard to improve his skills!

He also wanted to do his part for the Xiao family, to be filial to his father, and to share Xiao Ran's worries!

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan was immediately filled with an endless desire to cultivate.

He bent down and took out the black iron piece from his waist.

He roared angrily.

"bring it on!"

……

If Xiao Ran knew that a twist of fate had given Xiao Yan even more motivation to cultivate, he would surely laugh heartily.

He prepared to go out on a journey, ostensibly to search for something, but in reality, he was heading to the Monster Mountain Range to refine the purple flame of the Taiyin True Fire.

The secondary fire of the Taiyin True Fire that he obtained was systematically modified.

It can be absorbed directly by the body without side effects.

There may be some pain, but there will be no danger to life.

As for asking Xun'er's guard Ling Ying to accompany her, it was to prevent her from encountering magical beasts that she was currently unable to deal with in the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Xiao Ran refined the secondary fire of the Taiyin True Fire in the Monster Mountain Range because he had a vague feeling about it.

Once the refining is complete, one's strength will suddenly experience a great surge.

If something big happens, that would be bad.

After all, the Xiao family is still too fragile right now. Their own strength, as well as the future Yan Emperor's strength, are still very weak and cannot withstand any storms for the time being.

Moreover, he also planned to take advantage of this trip to refine the Taiyin True Fire and then seriously practice the Breath Concealment Technique given to him by Xun'er, as well as his own fighting skills and soul skills, and transform them into his own strength.

Otherwise, one would simply be sitting on a mountain of treasures without realizing it.

It's like having money but having it all in the bank and not being able to spend it—what's the point?

Xiao Ran, who was almost at his room door, suddenly stopped and scratched his head with a frown.

"Hiss~~!"

"That's strange, I think I've forgotten something important?"

"Forget it, let's talk about other things after we get back from this trip to the Monster Mountain Range!"

That night, Xiao Ran held Xiao Xun'er's soft, slender waist, and the two of them leaned against each other on the steps of the martial arts arena, admiring the moon.

Only after the bright moon hung high in the sky did they reluctantly say goodbye and return to their rooms.

The next day, Xiao Xun'er got up very early.

Heading to Xiao Ran's courtyard, I prepared to see him off.

However, when they arrived at Xiao Ran's courtyard, they found the door tightly closed.

Xiao Xun'er thought Xiao Ran was still asleep, so she didn't disturb him and stood at the courtyard gate waiting for him to leave.

However, when the servants saw Xiao Xun'er waiting there, they told her that Xiao Ran had left an hour earlier.

Xiao Xun'er turned to look at Xiao Ran's tightly closed door, her eyes brimming with tears, and softly murmured.

"Hmph! Brother Xiao Ran is a big bad guy!"

"Xun'er will never talk to you again. You left without even saying goodbye to Xun'er."

"I'm angry!"

After complaining for a while, he rubbed his eyes.

"Brother Xiao Ran left without even telling me."

"No, Xun'er also needs to go back and cultivate diligently to improve herself!"

After saying that, he hurriedly returned to his small courtyard.

Without Xiao Ran, there was no one in the Xiao family worth Xiao Xun'er's attention or even a moment's notice.

Xiao Xun'er had just returned to her courtyard when her expression suddenly changed.

He turned his head and frowned as he looked at a certain spot in the courtyard.

However, seeing the Xiao family members who had come from outside the courtyard, he turned around, went into the room, and closed the door.

Then Xiao Xun'er swept a corner of the wall.

He frowned and said, "Come out!"

As Xiao Xun'er finished speaking, a figure in black robes appeared in the corner of the wall and bowed to Xiao Xun'er.

"Miss!"

Xiao Xun'er raised an eyebrow, looking at the man in surprise.

"Elder Ling?!"

"Why are you still here? Didn't you set off with Brother Xiao Ran?"

Xiao Xun'er thought it was another member of her guard team coming, but she didn't expect it to be Ling Ying.

Ling Ying was slightly taken aback. "You've set off?"

Seeing Xiao Xun'er frown, Ling Ying changed her words,

"Yes, yes, yes! Young Master Xiao Ran said he didn't want to part with Miss, so he went ahead first."

"I have sent this old servant back to apologize to Miss and hope that you can forgive him."

After saying this, Ling Ying couldn't help but give herself a thumbs up.

That's so me! My mind works so fast!

He couldn't very well say, "It's all your fault, Miss, for staying up too late admiring the moon with Xiao Ran last night, could it?"

Ling Ying couldn't sleep a wink last night.

His eyes were wide open, like copper bells, as he watched Xiao Ran and Xiao Xun'er admire the moon.

Even after they went back to their respective homes, he kept a close eye on Xiao Ran's every move from the previous night.

They were afraid that the young couple, who were in the throes of adolescence, might become emotional at the moment of parting.

They're doing things that are inappropriate for their age.

Then Ling Ying would be guilty of a crime deserving of ten thousand deaths!

These days, the sparks between Xiao Ran and Xiao Xun'er seem to be even stronger than before.

Ling Ying, as Xiao Xun'er's guardian, was extremely worried and concerned.

Even if he is a Dou Huang level expert, he doesn't need to sleep.

But even that couldn't overcome the weariness in my heart.

He only found a place to sleep after seeing the two of them return to their room last night.

After waking up, I originally intended to leave with Xiao Ran from Miss's place, but I didn't expect that Xiao Ran had already left!

If Miss finds out what happened, Ling Ying will inevitably be punished and blamed.

As Xiao Xun'er's protector, Ling Ying naturally knew what to say to make her happy.
