Battle Through the Heavens: Reap the Red Lotus Karmic Flame at the Start

123. Xun'er departs

That night, Xiao Yan stayed with Xiao Xun'er on the cliff for the entire night. Both of them were already Dou Huang level experts, so the so-called fatigue and cold did not exist.

As they were about to leave, both Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er knew that this separation would not be short. So they leaned on each other and talked about everything. They also recalled the days when they were still in the Xiao family, when Xiao Yan was still a young master.

They talked until dawn. Fortunately, Xiao Yan didn't do anything out of line, otherwise, a certain super strong person who had been watching them might have made a move.

……

As soon as it was light, Zi Yan and Qing Lin arrived at the cliff. They both knew that Xun'er was leaving.

Xun'er was very kind to the two girls, taking good care of them. To Qinglin and Ziyan, Xun'er was like a gentle older sister.

Seeing Xun'er about to leave, Zi Yan was alright, but Qing Lin's eyes were already a little red, clearly reluctant to see Xun'er leave.

Upon seeing the two women, Xun'er's expression suddenly changed. She turned to Xiao Yan and said, "Brother Xiao Yan, Qing Lin's cultivation is closely related to the Nine Netherworld Python clan, and the Nine Netherworld Pythons are currently in Zhongzhou. How about letting Qing Lin return with me?"

Xiao Yan and Qing Lin were both taken aback, clearly not expecting Xun'er to make such a request.

Xiao Yan looked at Qing Lin and asked, "Qing Lin, would you be willing to go to Zhongzhou with Xun'er?"

For Xiao Yan now, Qing Lin is truly a great help. The Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil is already an extremely powerful physique, and after obtaining the inheritance of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng Ming Mei, Qing Lin will definitely become a top powerhouse on the continent in the future.

Her current strength speaks volumes. Although she's only a Dou Wang (Battle King) level expert, even a Dou Zong (Battle Ancestor) wouldn't easily defeat Qing Lin. Moreover, Ming Mei couldn't possibly have left Qing Lin with a way to save her life. In Xiao Yan's opinion, if Gu Yuan hadn't appeared yesterday, who could have escaped with their lives? Undoubtedly, it would have been Qing Lin.

Could he achieve the best development by staying by his side? Xiao Yan wasn't sure, and even with Yao Lao as a backup, he couldn't guarantee it.

Moreover, from Mingmei's explanation, it is not difficult to see that the Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil and the Nine Netherworld Python are closely related. The Nine Netherworld Python is in Zhongzhou, which Xun'er must know more about.

Therefore, Xiao Yan asked Qing Lin, explaining that he had come to the Northwest Region because he was worried about Qing Lin's condition, and that he was willing to give Qing Lin the greatest autonomy in making her choice.

Seeing that the problem had come to him, Qinglin seemed conflicted. After struggling for a moment, he said, "I'll listen to Young Master. If Young Master wants me to go, I'll go!"

Seeing Qinglin's intense gaze, Xiao Yan felt a slight headache. The events that had occurred in the Myriad Beasts Space were still vivid in his mind. However, Xiao Yan only regarded Qinglin as a younger sister and did not have much personal affection for her at the moment.

Xiao Yan and Xun'er exchanged a glance. Based on his understanding of Xun'er, since she had said that, it was impossible for her to do anything bad to Qing Lin.

"Qinglin, you should go with Xun'er. The potential of the Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil is definitely limitless. You should become stronger as soon as possible, which is also Senior Mingmei's wish."

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's answer, a hint of disappointment flashed in Qing Lin's beautiful emerald eyes, but she still nodded, clenched her fist, and said, "I will listen to Sister Xun'er's advice and become stronger as soon as possible to help Young Master!"

Seeing Qinglin's statement, Xun'er also took Ziyan aside.

Seeing the two whispering to each other, Xiao Yan wondered if Xun'er was also planning to take Zi Yan away with her.

According to Zi Yan herself, she also belongs to the ancient dragon of the magical beast Taixu, and perhaps she will have a better future in Zhongzhou.

The thought of continuing to be alone made Xiao Yan feel a little strange.

However, when Xiao Xun'er and Zi Yan were discussing things, they would occasionally turn around and look at him, which gave Xiao Yan a bad feeling.

Only after the two finished their conversation did he slowly walk to her side.

Xiao Xun'er suddenly rushed into Xiao Yan's arms and whispered, "Brother Xiao Yan, take care of yourself!"

Xiao Yan nodded slowly, and then Xun'er simply pulled Qing Lin away. Xiao Yan just watched the two of them leave quietly. The deeper Xun'er's departure affected him, the more it stimulated him to continue to strive upwards.

"Wait for me, Xun'er..."

Zi Yan walked up to Xiao Yan at the opportune moment and said, "Xun'er is nowhere to be seen, and you're still looking!"

Hearing Zi Yan's words, Xiao Yan felt a pang of helplessness and asked, "Why didn't you go with them?"

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan straightened her chest and said, "I have a feeling that it would be better not to return to the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void for the time being."

Upon hearing Zi Yan's explanation, Xiao Yan pondered deeply. Zi Yan was clearly one of the most powerful magical beasts on the continent, yet she had been found by Elder Su Qian in the Black Corner Region when she was a child. Xiao Yan was utterly convinced that there hadn't been some unforeseen event, and thus accepted Zi Yan's explanation.

The monsters often have a more accurate sense of things than humans, let alone Zi Yan, who received some benefits from the Void Emperor in the Beast Space. Her current strength is probably no less than that of herself without Yao Lao's help.

Having such a thug by your side might not be a bad thing.

"Oh, right," Zi Yan added, "Xun'er told me to keep an eye on you and not let you mess around with other girls!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan smiled. Although Xun'er certainly didn't really mean it that way, she definitely had these concerns. To be honest, if Qing Lin really stayed by his side, given her attitude towards him, Xiao Yan really couldn't guarantee that nothing would happen in the future.

After all, he was a hot-blooded young man, and Qinglin was very obedient to him, so Xun'er taking her away might not be a way of spurring him on.

There was also his romantic experience with Liang Mengying, the owner of Minghua Tower. Although Xun'er didn't say it directly, Xiao Yan always had a feeling that Xun'er knew about it.

Looking at the smug Zi Yan, Xiao Yan felt a little helpless. With Zi Yan by his side, the journey wouldn't be too boring.

"Let's go first, and after we prepare, we can leave the Northwest Region!"

"Hehe, now that we've made such a big improvement in strength, we must make sure to pick all the herbs we encountered but couldn't gather on our way back."

"Sure, we'll split it 30/70."

"Ugh, you're so heartless!"

"Then a 20/80 split?"

"Xiao Yan! Next time I'm definitely going to tell Xun'er on this!"
