Battle Through the Heavens: Exceptional Comprehension, Becomes Emperor at Ten Years Old

Chapter 124 Ling Ying, a warning from Xun'er!

Upon hearing Jiahe's words, Xiao Yan paused slightly, then looked at Jiahe and asked, "Did you reinforce the seal?"

Jiahe smiled and said, "Elder Su Qian and I have made an agreement to ally with the Imperial Prison to jointly deal with the people of the Black Corner Region, especially the Soul Palace!"

Xiao Yan shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying, "I see. It seems I'm not destined to be with the Fallen Heart Flame."

"That makes sense. Even if you hadn't come to reinforce the seal, the Fallen Heart Flame might not have fallen into my hands."

"The academy has always attached great importance to the Fallen Heart Flame. I, a Great Dou Master, cannot influence the academy's decision."

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Jia He said, "You don't need to be so pessimistic. You still have a way to obtain the Fallen Heart Flame from below the academy!"

Xiao Yan's eyes lit up immediately, and he looked at Jia He, asking, "Really?"

Gah smiled and said, "Beneath this Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, there's more than just one Fallen Heart Flame!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyes widened in shock, while Yao Lao, inside Xiao Yan's body, exclaimed, "Impossible!"

Xiao Yan also heard his teacher's voice and said to Jia He, "Although the Fallen Heart Flame isn't as powerful as the first three strange flames, in general, for a place capable of giving birth to a strange flame, the first one must disappear before a second one can be born, and that takes a very long time!"

Jiahe smiled and said, "But the birthplace of the Fallen Heart Flame beneath the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower is different from other places!"

"What's the difference?" Xiao Yan asked somewhat anxiously.

Gah shook his head and said, "Knowing now won't do you any good. All you need to know is that there are two Fallen Heart Flames beneath this Heavenly Refining Tower!"

Jiahe naturally wouldn't tell Xiao Yan that beneath the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower lies the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave, a place coveted by all the powerful figures on the continent.

Moreover, at the entrance of that cave, there was also Zhu Kun, the former patriarch of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, whose strength had reached the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng!

Jiahe planned to take Ziyan down there after he had completely cleared up the matter in the Black Corner Region, so that he would have a protective umbrella!

As they spoke, the three arrived at a separate courtyard, which was the accommodation prepared by the academy for Xiao Yan and the others.

The pavilion is not large, but it is not small either. It has a courtyard, a fish pond, and is backed by the mountain forest. The scenery is nice and quiet, making it suitable for cultivation.

Pushing open the wooden gate to the courtyard, Xiao Yan led Jiahe and Medusa inside.

"This place is usually inhabited by four people: me, Xun'er, Hu Jia, and Wu Hao, all of whom are my good friends!" Xiao Yan said as he walked in.

As soon as he entered the pavilion, Jiahe saw a beautiful figure watering a pot of flowers at the second-floor window.

This was the first time Jiahe had seen the female protagonist of this world, Gu Xun'er. Her light blue fitted dress made her look like a budding lotus flower.

Her elegant and ethereal temperament could indeed captivate some people, but thankfully, Jiahe didn't seem to have any particular interest in it.

The girl noticed the gaze behind her, put down the water bottle, and finally saw Xiao Yan on the first floor. A hint of joy and a blush appeared on her cheeks as she called out, "Brother Xiao Yan!"

However, the moment he saw Xiao Yan, he also saw Jia He and the Medusa Queen beside him!

"Brother Xiao Yan, who are they?" A hint of wariness and doubt flashed in Xun'er's eyes.

Xiao Yan said, "These two are my friends. Like me, they are from the Jia Ma Empire. However, he is a member of the royal family and once did my Xiao family a favor."

"His name is Gahe, and this is Queen Medusa of the Snake-People Clan!" Xiao Yan said.

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Xun'er raised her eyebrows slightly. She was still somewhat grateful to Jia He for saving the Xiao family, after all, he was Xiao Yan's family.

As for Queen Medusa, such a cold and beautiful woman, Xun'er couldn't help but feel a little wary.

Xiao Yan, oblivious to all this, addressed Jiahe and Medusa, "This is Xun'er, it's me, the one I love!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Xun'er's pretty face flushed red, yet she was also shy, and her eyes were filled with love as she looked at Xiao Yan.

Gah smiled and said, "It's clear that the two of you are a perfect match!"

"Sit down!" Xiao Yan said.

Xun'er poured tea, and Xiao Yan looked at Jiahe and asked, "Did anyone from the Xiao family come with the Imperial Prison to the Black Corner Region this time?"

Jiahe shook his head slightly and said, "This time we're just here to check the situation. The people who came with us are all above the Dou Wang level. The Xiao family is currently still in the Jia Ma Empire!"

Xiao Yan nodded upon hearing this, saying, "I see. With my eldest and second brothers' talent, and with the Imperial Prison's nurturing, I think they should advance quickly as well!"

Jiahe laughed and said, "There's no need to rush to work for the Imperial Prison. After the Black Corner Region is integrated, there will be plenty of places where we'll need manpower!"

Xiao Yan said, "That's true."

"Your strength can also be improved. As for the Fallen Heart Flame, after those forces in the Black Corner Region make their move against the Imperial Prison this time, Elder Su Qian and I will deal with those people. That way, the academy won't have to keep an eye on this Fallen Heart Flame!" Jiahe said.

Xiao Yan nodded slightly and said, "I understand!"

The two chatted for a while, Xun'er's gaze shifting between Jiahe and Medusa, then she lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought.

About an hour later, Gah and Medusa prepared to get up and leave.

Xiao Yan saw Jiahe and Medusa out. In the hall, Xun'er softly called out, "Elder Ling!"

Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared in a corner of the living room, and a figure appeared in front of Xun'er.

"Miss!" Ling Ying greeted Xun'er respectfully with her hands clasped.

Xun'er looked at Ling Ying and said, "Is this the genius from the royal family of the Jia Ma Empire that you mentioned before?"

Ling Ying nodded and said, "That's right, this boy has extremely high talent, and his current strength has reached the Dou Zong level. I'm afraid even the geniuses in the clan can't compare to him!"

"You must pay close attention to this kind of person and figure out his purpose, especially since he has such a relationship with Brother Xiao Yan. Go and talk to him. If necessary, you can use your identity as an ancient clan member!" Xun'er's somewhat indifferent voice came.

Ling Ying nodded and said, "Yes, Miss!"

Ling Ying then vanished, and the hall returned to calm once more.

"Jiahe, don't have any other thoughts about Brother Xiao Yan," Xun'er said calmly.

On the other side, just as Gahe and Medusa stepped out of the gate, a small white figure appeared around a corner.

Medusa raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is it that little girl?"

Jiahe was somewhat amused and exasperated, looking at Ziyan and saying, "You came to see me?"

Zi Yan looked at Jia He and said, "Of course, I've heard that you're a seventh-grade alchemist?"

Gah nodded and said, "That's right, you want me to concoct medicine for you?"

Zi Yan nodded repeatedly and said, "Those medicinal herbs taste terrible on their own, and the herbs refined by the academy's alchemists don't taste good either, and they're not very effective for me. How about you refine some sixth or seventh-grade pills for me, and I'll give you the medicinal herbs in exchange?"

Gah laughed, "That's a good idea, but if we calculate it that way, I'll have to find you a prescription, which is troublesome and not worth it!"

Zi Yan asked anxiously, "What should we do then? How about I become your bodyguard?"
