Just when Hu Qian and Elder Huo were speechless, a voice suddenly came from behind them. They hurriedly turned around, and after seeing the person coming, they couldn't help but smile at each other.
There were two figures standing behind Su Qian, both of them were women.
One of them was wearing a tutor's uniform. Although the clothes looked quite formal and the style was relatively loose, it still could not hide her graceful body.
Especially her pair of slender and sexy legs, which were particularly eye-catching and attracted the attention of many male students in the audience.
The other one was wearing a red dress with a whip wrapped neatly around her slender waist. She looked pretty and cute, but even so, many students dared not look at her for too long.
In this academy, everyone knows Hu Jia. She has just been an elder for a short time, but she has already gained the reputation of being a "female devil". If you are targeted by her, your life will be difficult in the future.
These two people can be regarded as extremely outstanding figures in Canaan College today. If Xiao Ling were here, he would definitely recognize these two familiar faces at a glance. They are Xiao Yu and Hu Jia.
One can tell by just looking at their aura that these two have now reached the Dou Wang realm.
Although the Dou Wang realm may not be considered too powerful, when you consider that the two women are only in their twenties, such cultivation talent can be considered to be in the upper-middle level even in Zhongzhou where geniuses gather. Breaking through to the Dou Zong level in the future is a foregone conclusion.
"Grand Elder, all matters related to the admission of new students today have been prepared. Now we just need to wait for the Vice Dean to make the final summary."
Xiao Yu bowed slightly and then spoke softly,
"The elders were so engrossed in their conversation just now. Could it be that they were discussing something very important?"
"What else could they be talking about? No need to think, they must be talking about the legendary Master Xiao Ling. When I came over just now, I could vaguely hear him from a distance."
Before Su Qian could reply, Hu Jia beside him couldn't help but chuckle and then said.
After hearing Hu Jia's words and looking at the expressions on the faces of Elder Su Qian and others, Xiao Yu immediately understood what was going on and couldn't help laughing:
"So you're talking about cousin Xiao Ling. But if you calculate the time carefully, it's been a long time since I last saw him. Now that I think about it, I can still remember what he looked like when I was a child at the Xiao family."
"Tsk tsk, calling him 'cousin Xiao Ling' is really intimate." Hu Jia's lips curled up slightly, her eyes full of mischievous smiles. She shook her head gently and joked, "As a cousin, I know right away that you probably have some special thoughts about cousin Xiao Ling, tsk tsk tsk."
Xiao Yu's pretty face turned red at Hu Jia's straightforward teasing, and the blush quickly spread across her cheeks like the sunset in the sky.
She felt embarrassed and annoyed. She immediately reached out and gently pushed Hu Jia's shoulder, scolding her: "You girl, you have the nerve to say that to me. Don't you have feelings for Xiao Ling? Don't think I don't know. You often sneak to the courtyard where Xiao Ling used to live in the outer courtyard. I don't know what shameful things you do there."
Seeing the two women fighting like this, Su Qian, Hu Qian and Elder Huo were stunned at first, and then they couldn't help but look at each other, with the corners of their mouths slightly raised, and a half-smile appeared on their faces at the same time.
How could they, who have been through this, not see the two girls' little thoughts about Xiao Ling?
Not to mention Xiao Yu and Hu Jia, in Canaan Academy, who among the majority of female students does not admire someone as outstanding as Xiao Ling?
Chapter 538 Reunion of old friends
"Hey, you guys are chatting so enthusiastically that I can hear you from far away." As she was speaking, a girl's voice suddenly came from beside them.
Hearing this voice, Su Qian, Hu Qian and Elder Huo immediately stopped communicating and all looked to the side.
Before the few people could figure out what was going on, ripples suddenly appeared in the surrounding void. The ripples slowly spread out, forming a spatial channel, and several figures slowly walked out of it.
When those figures gradually stood still, everyone's eyes focused on them, and the figures of Xiao Ling and his group appeared in everyone's sight without any warning.
Look at the two people standing side by side at the head of the group. The man has an upright figure and extraordinary temperament, and the woman is also smart and pretty, with a unique charm. Who else could they be but Xiao Ling and Zi Yan?
The source of the clear voice that had been heard earlier was now clear, and the identity of the person who spoke was self-evident.
When they saw Xiao Ling and Zi Yan, they were all slightly stunned. They never expected that they would come back at this time.
After a while, Su Qiancai finally came back to his senses. His lips were trembling slightly, and his voice seemed to be filled with a trace of disbelief. His words were also slightly intermittent due to excitement: "Xiao Ling, Zi Yan, you two... Xiao Ling, Zi Yan, you... you are back?"
There were complex emotions of surprise and unexpectedness intertwined in his words. The old man, who usually had a calm expression and did not show his emotions, had completely lost his usual calm and steady appearance at this moment. The light flashing in his eyes was full of excitement and joy that could not be concealed.
Seeing this, Xiao Ling raised the corners of his mouth, and a gentle smile naturally appeared on his face. His eyes were full of kindness, and he responded:
"Great Elder, yes, we are back. Great Elder, everyone, it's been a long time since we last met. Are you all well?"
Zi Yan, who was standing by, still pouted, with her hands folded across her chest. She deliberately looked away and muttered softly, her words full of coquettishness:
"Humph, what's the matter? Are you forbidding us to come back? This Canaan Academy is where we grew up. It's normal for us to come back and take a look. Look at you, old man. You were so shocked by our return. Really."
Although there was a hint of anger in Zi Yan's words, there was also a joy that was difficult to conceal between her eyebrows.
"Xiao Ling actually came back..."
Xiao Yu and Hu Jia were stunned at first, and then they looked at each other subconsciously, their eyes filled with surprise and excitement.
They raised their hands almost at the same time and gently covered their beautiful red lips. Their movements were surprisingly consistent, as if they had rehearsed it in advance.
He looked as if he was afraid that he would not be able to hold back and let out a loud scream, thus breaking this warm moment of reunion.
Compared to other people, Xiao Yu and Hu Jia had much closer contact with Xiao Ling than ordinary people in the past because of some relationship between them and Xiao Ling.
Although we haven't seen each other for several years, when that familiar face came into my sight, I didn't feel strange at all.
However, compared to the high-spirited and favored child of heaven back then, the childishness on Xiao Ling's face has now completely faded away, replaced by a more mature and steady temperament. The whole person has become more and more charming, making the two girls unable to take their eyes off him for a moment, with a hint of love in their eyes.
"Grand Elder Su Qian, Vice Dean Hu Qian, Elder Huo, we are still here. Don't just focus on Xiao Ling and Zi Yan. Don't you want us to come back?"
Just when everyone's eyes were focused on Xiao Ling and Zi Yan, Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin smiled and walked out slowly from behind Xiao Ling and Zi Yan.
The voice was gentle and pleasant, and seemed to carry a hint of playful anger, which instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Since Xiao Yixian and Qinglin started following Xiao Ling, they spent most of their early training time at Canaan College.
This place is of extraordinary significance to them. It can be said to be the cradle of their initial growth after they embarked on the path of cultivation.
Deep in their hearts, Canaan College has become their first home with Xiao Ling, carrying many precious memories and a special kind of warmth and attachment.
"Haha, it's me, the old man. My eyesight was blurry for a moment, and I didn't even see you two, Xian'er and Qinglin. You are both outstanding disciples of our Canaan Academy. It is a good thing that you have returned now."
Su Qian laughed heartily, with a hint of joking in his words, cleverly concealing the embarrassment in his previous tone.
After all, Xiao Ling and Zi Yan had a special emotional bond with him. When he saw them return just now, he really didn't pay attention to other people for a while.
However, Su Qian, as an elder, has always been extremely caring and attentive to Xiao Yixiang and Qinglin.
In his heart, they were also outstanding disciples who graduated from Canaan College. Now that they could come back together, it was the best thing that could happen. He was so happy that he could not contain his joy.
While they were greeting each other, Su Qian, Elder Huo, Hu Qian and the others all stood up from their seats, with enthusiastic smiles on their faces, and walked quickly towards Xiao Ling and the others without stopping.
"Hahaha! Xiao Ling, you finally decided to come back! Ever since you went to Zhongzhou, I thought I would have to wait for more than ten years to see you again, but I didn't expect to see you so soon." Hu Qian said with a big laugh, and his hearty laughter was full of the joy of reunion.
"We have all heard about your performance in Zhongzhou. You did a really good job! You won the championship of the last alchemy conference and became the number one alchemist on the continent. You really brought a lot of fame to our Canaan Academy!" Elder Huo also had a kind smile on his face and continued,
"Now that you're back, you have to teach me some medicine-making skills when you're free. Otherwise, I'm afraid my apprentice will leave me far behind in terms of my medicine-making skills. Next time we meet, I won't have the face to lecture him on this."
Although Elder Huo's words were somewhat self-deprecating, they clearly revealed a strong sense of pride.
After all, although his disciple Xiao Yan's talent could not match Xiao Ling's, he had already shown his potential in Zhongzhou where there were so many powerful people, and could be considered a young leader.
Xiao Yan has now grown to the point where he can successfully refine seventh-grade top-level elixirs. Such an achievement is truly not easy to come by. As his master, Elder Huo, he is extremely pleased for Xiao Yan.
A few years passed quietly. When they met again, Su Qian looked at the young people in front of him and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. He smiled and said, "Xian'er, I haven't seen you for a few years. You have become more beautiful. It's a pleasure to look at you. And Qinglin, you are now a graceful young lady. You looked like a green and immature girl before. The change is really great."
As he spoke, Su Qian turned his gaze to Zi Yan. Compared to the others, Zi Yan didn't seem to be that different from when she left Canaan College. Su Qian couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly, and finally joked, "Zi Yan has grown a lot taller, haha."
After hearing this, Xiao Yixiang and Qinglin just looked at each other and couldn't help but smile softly. They gladly accepted Su Qian's friendly compliment.
But Zi Yan was immediately unhappy. Her face flushed red, and she stretched out her pink little fist, gestured twice in front of her with a bit of indignation, and said:
"Old Su Qian, what do you mean by that? Humph, are you teasing me for not growing taller? Don't underestimate me. I'm very powerful now. Not to mention you alone, even if there are a hundred of you put together, you're not enough for me to beat with one hand."
As soon as Zi Yan said this, the laughter of Xiao Yixian, Su Qian and others rang out around her, and the laughter rose one after another, echoing in the air.
Zi Yan was left standing there alone, her little face flushed red, she stamped her feet in anger and annoyance, but seeing everyone laughing so happily, she felt helpless for a moment and could only stand there with her cheeks puffed out, angrily.
Medusa stood quietly behind them, looking at them getting along so harmoniously. Suddenly, a strange emotion arose in her heart. For a moment, she felt like an outsider, somewhat out of tune with the harmonious atmosphere here.
However, at the moment when this thought came to her mind, Medusa suddenly felt her palm being firmly grasped by another hand. The sudden warmth and strength made her heart tremble slightly.
She subconsciously turned her head and what caught her eye was Xiao Ling's right hand.
At that time, although Xiao Ling was looking forward, he seemed to have a telepathic connection with her. He quietly stretched out his right hand, reached out steadily, and then firmly held her left hand.
This silent action made Medusa feel slightly warm in her heart.
Xiao Ling tightly grasped the soft hand in his hand and turned his head slightly. His eyes just met Medusa's gaze. A gentle smile immediately appeared on the corner of his mouth. Then he slowly withdrew his gaze, but the strength of his hand increased a little, but not to the point of making Medusa feel uncomfortable.
Medusa quickly came to her senses, as if she was touched by something, and subconsciously held Xiao Ling's hand with her backhand. Her slender fingers were intertwined with Xiao Ling's hand, as if silently expressing their dependence on each other.
At this moment, even she herself did not realize that her usually stunningly cold appearance, now had the corners of her mouth slightly raised, inadvertently revealing a touch of tenderness that she had never shown before.
That tenderness was like the warm sunshine in spring, quietly melting the cold shell on her body and making her whole person more gentle and graceful. And this attitude would only appear because of Xiao Ling.
……
After some preliminary greetings, Su Qian turned to Hu Qian and said without hesitation:
"By the way, this is not a good place to have a conversation. Let's leave first. Old man Hu, as the vice president, you are responsible for the selection of new students. You should stay here and continue to watch over it. We will leave first."
"You..." Hu Qian's eyes widened when he heard this. He was so angry that he almost couldn't help cursing. He kept wondering, how come you guys can go downstairs to reminisce about the past, but leave me here alone? This is too unfair.
But seeing that everyone was ready to leave, he could only sigh helplessly. Who made him take on this task?
Then, Su Qian had no plan to stay here any longer. He waved his hand and led Xiao Ling and his party straight to the stage, and soon left the platform.
When Elder Huo, Xiao Yu and Hu Qian saw this, they looked at each other and hurriedly followed, with no intention of delaying here at all.
Seeing Xiao Ling and his group leaving in such a lively manner, the elders who were still on the platform exchanged glances with each other, and then they all stood up and wanted to leave, and each of them was ready to take a step forward.
Hu Qian was anxious when he saw this, and he immediately raised his voice and said, "Why are you guys leaving? You all plan to pat your butts and leave. Do you really want me to be the only one here to preside over the freshman selection? Humph, there is no such easy thing, all of you stay here!"
The words were filled with a mixture of helplessness and anger, causing the elders who were originally planning to escape to stop in their tracks and look at each other.
In the end, most of them naturally stayed and continued to preside over the situation here with Hu Qian.
After all, he is the vice president, so we have to give him some face. If he leaves now, it will be embarrassing if the news gets out.
Besides, everyone knew that they couldn't just leave Hu Qian here alone; that would be too unkind.
Just as Xiao Ling and the others were leaving, the crowd that had been silent for a moment suddenly burst into whispers. The sounds were just a few scattered ones at first, but soon they gathered into a buzzing sound that filled the air.
Everyone's eyes seemed to be flashing with light, staring closely at the figure that was getting farther and farther away.
In the hearts of many Canaan College students, what makes them most curious at this moment is the various rumors about this senior.
After all, since the establishment of Canaan College, there has been no one so outstanding that the college would build a statue for him. What kind of legendary experience did this senior have? It really makes people want to find out.
Now that they had seen with their own eyes the graceful demeanor of this legendary student of Canaan College, many of the female students suddenly had stars in their eyes and their hearts were beating fast.
As soon as Xiao Ling showed up, he instantly attracted a large number of young fans. If he hadn't left quickly, there would have been a big stir.
