Battle Through the Heavens: Reborn into the Xiao Family, Starting with Xiao Xuan's Inheritance

Chapter 49 The Vanished Ling Ying, Will Gu Yuanhui Arrive in Person?

The next day.

Xun'er knocked on Xiao Yi's door early in the morning.

"Brother Xiao Yi, Instructor Ruolin is returning to Canaan Academy—"

Xiao Yi slowly opened his eyes, his heart jolted.

Is it really that rushed? The spots were only finalized yesterday, and we're already setting off today.

Without thinking too much, Xiao Yi got up and opened the door, only to see Xiao Xun'er standing outside full of energy.

Upon seeing Xiao Yi appear, a familiar smile instantly appeared on his face.

"Brother Xiao Yi—"

"After being away for a few days, it seems your abilities have improved even more—"

Xiao Yi looked up slightly at the girl in front of him and couldn't help but smile.

My strength is still only a one-star Dou Shi, so where did the improvement come from?

The girl's words were simply an attempt to subtly inquire about the Little Fairy Doctor she had brought back.

Xiao Yi gently patted Xiao Xun'er's head and said softly, "You silly girl, don't talk nonsense. Where has my strength increased—"

"Judging from your expression, you want to know about Little Fairy Doctor, don't you—"

Upon hearing this, Xun'er blinked, then nodded: "Yes!"

"But I'm afraid if I ask directly, Brother Xiao Yi will find me annoying—"

Xiao Yi smiled slightly: "Little Fairy Doctor is a close friend I met during my trip these past few days—"

"It just so happens that she wants to study medicine at Canaan College—"

"So I had her come with me, and we happened to run into Instructor Ruolin who was recruiting students at our Xiao family's residence—"

"Isn't all of this a coincidence—"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xun'er, though still somewhat skeptical, nodded nonetheless.

After all, she couldn't very well say she didn't believe it.

"Well then, since he's Brother Xiao Yi's friend, he's also my friend—"

"I will get along well with Sister Little Fairy Doctor from now on—"

"Alright, Brother Xiao Yi, Instructor Ruolin is waiting for you—"

After saying that, Xiao Xun'er took Xiao Yi's hand and walked quickly toward the main hall of the Xiao family.

Inside the hall.

Ruolin and her team had already prepared and were waiting for Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yu still wanted to seize one last chance, hoping that Ruolin could also hire her younger brother Xiao Ning.

However, Ruolin shook her head helplessly: "Yu'er, it's not that I don't care about the relationship between us—"

"It's just that your younger brother's talent is really lacking—"

"How about this: if he can advance to the Fighter level by this time next year, he can still enter Canaan Academy!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi couldn't help but smile slightly, after all, he was aware of Xiao Ning's talent.

Let alone advancing to the Dou Zhe level within a year, even if given three years, it would be difficult.

However, upon hearing this, the expressions on the faces of the Grand Elder and Xiao Yu changed, because they finally saw hope.

After Ruolin finished speaking, she noticed that Xiao Yi had finally arrived.

He then turned to Xiao Yi and teased, "So the genius has finally arrived—"

"Now that you've agreed to enroll at Canaan Academy with me, you can't go back on your word—"

Xiao Yi nodded: "Don't worry, Instructor Ruolin!"

"Since you've agreed, there's no going back on your word—"

Hearing this, Ruolin nodded in satisfaction, after all, she absolutely could not let such a genius get away.

This is definitely a major achievement for Ruolin.

After speaking, Xiao Yi glanced around.

They discovered that Little Fairy Doctor was also waiting there early on.

At the same time, they also saw Xiao Yan standing in the crowd, with a hint of loneliness on his face.

Having been inseparable from Xiao Yi since childhood, Xiao Yan was still somewhat reluctant to part with him now.

Xiao Yi did the same, slowly walking to Xiao Yan's side and softly saying, "Little Yan, do you really not want to go to Canaan Academy with me?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan shook his head, forcing a smile, and said, "Brother Yi, just like you said—"

"Everyone makes different choices. Once you've made a choice, no matter the outcome, just keep moving forward."

"My choice is not to go to Canaan College—"

"I'm not saying I regret my choice now, but I'm just a little reluctant to let go—"

Xiao Yi patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder and said softly, "I believe in your choice, don't worry—"

"For now, we can only choose differently for the time being. Three years from now, when you set foot on the Yunlan Sect, that will be the day we brothers are reunited—"

"You absolutely mustn't let me down when we make that promise with Nalan Yanran—"

After Xiao Yi finished speaking, the two brothers exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly, just like always.

Everything was understood without being said; the two of them already knew what was going on.

Immediately, Xiao Zhan slowly stood up, looked at Xiao Yi, and said in a deep voice, "Yi'er, Canaan Academy is not like the Xiao family; it has far more abundant resources and mentors there—"

"With your talent, you'll become a Dou Huang powerhouse sooner or later, leading our Xiao family back to the Holy City of Jia Ma!"

"Uncle is waiting for that day!"

Xiao Yi nodded upon hearing this.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself.

The Xiao family has truly been in decline for far too long, and the title of Dou Huang has become an unattainable dream.

In the original story, Xiao Zhan successfully enrolled in the Soul Clan training course and successfully advanced to the Dou Huang level.

Although the process was a bit tough, it was a dream come true.

"Alright, alright—"

"It's getting late—"

"We should get ready to go—"

Ruolin looked up at the sun overhead, then urged in a deep voice.

After all, Canaan Academy is not close to Utan City, and it will take some time to get back.

Starting earlier means arriving earlier.

Xiao Yi nodded.

Immediately, led by Ruolin, the group left Wutan City and headed towards Canaan Academy.

Because of the distance, the group didn't have many options but to travel by horse-drawn carriage.

A neat convoy of vehicles drove along a deserted road.

Even though the carriage was very bumpy, Xiao Yi didn't care at all and cherished the time to cultivate.

After all, only by improving one's strength as quickly as possible can one have a greater chance of success when subduing the Fallen Heart Flame.

However, just as Xiao Yi was holding his breath and concentrating, circulating his internal energy to purify his inner fire...

Xiao Xuan's voice suddenly rang out in Xiao Yi's mind.

"Little guy, it seems that Gu Yuan's Dou Huang bodyguard has disappeared—"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi felt a sense of unease.

After all, Ling Ying had always been protecting Xun'er, no matter what.

Now that Xiao Xuan can no longer sense Ling Ying's presence, it means that Ling Ying has truly disappeared.

"Ancestor, you said he went back to the ancient clan to report the news—"

"After all, your soul has awakened; such a thing is a major event for the ancient clans!"

If that's the case, it's highly likely that Gu Yuan will come in person!

A peak nine-star Dou Sheng powerhouse!

Xiao Yi could hardly believe it—

However, Xiao Xuan simply smiled and said, "It's alright, kid—"

"I know what you're thinking. If that old codger Gu Yuan were to come in person, it might actually be an opportunity for you—"
