Although the Confucian school emphasizes self-cultivation, Han Ping'an was restless at this moment.
This was just an ordinary assessment.
And how could He Zixuan, as a True Disciple Saint, easily fall?
"Well, at first, Saint He was with us, then he left, and then…"
The powerhouses of Jixia Academy also informed Han Ping'an about some of the situation.
"Is that so? But why would Zixuan leave so suddenly?" Han Ping'an frowned.
He instinctively felt something was off.
Chu Xiao's expression was slightly unnatural.
In fact, if one were to tell the story from the beginning.
He was the one who called He Zixuan.
Otherwise, He Zixuan might not have died.
At this moment, Jun Xiaoyao sighed, shaking his head with a hint of regret.
"It's a pity, by the time I arrived, He Zixuan had already been killed."
"However, the Opportunity where He Zixuan went seemed to be with Fellow Daoist Chu."
Hearing this.
Chu Xiao's expression froze.
Then, anger faintly erupted in his eyes!
This Jun Xiaoyao actually wanted to drag him into this again!
"Brother Chu, this…" Han Ping'an furrowed his brows.
He had sent He Zixuan to look after Chu Xiao.
But Chu Xiao returned, while He Zixuan died.
This simply didn't make sense.
Chu Xiao secretly gritted his teeth, knowing he couldn't conceal it.
So he spoke out.
"I merely stumbled upon an Opportunity and kindly invited Brother He to explore it with me."
"After entering, I separated from Brother He."
"If I had known the situation, even if it meant risking my life, I would have faced life and death alongside Brother He!"
Chu Xiao spoke with such righteousness and strong appeal.
Even Jun Xiaoyao secretly clicked his tongue.
He considered his own acting skills to be at the level of a movie emperor.
But this Chu Xiao wasn't bad either.
"Is that so." Han Ping'an nodded slightly.
Since Chu Xiao said so, what else could he say?
However, in the end, Chu Xiao returned from his treasure hunt, but He Zixuan died.
Although Han Ping'an wouldn't truly blame Chu Xiao.
There was always a thorn in his heart.
Jun Xiaoyao looked at this scene, with a hint of sarcastic smile in his eyes.
He didn't think that just a few words of instigation from him could turn Han Ping'an and Chu Xiao into enemies.
But as long as there was a rift in their hearts, it would be easy to handle.
"So that's how it is. Then, in the end, Young Lord Jun Xiaoyao avenged He Zixuan." Mr. Yuan smiled slightly.
The powerhouses of Jixia Academy then threw out two heads.
"These are the Human-Ba hybrid who killed He Zixuan, a Royal Prodigy from the Ying Gou lineage."
"In addition, there are Human-Ba hybrid of Divine Venerable level."
Whoosh!
There was an uproar all around, incredibly shocking.
Countless gazes, all at once, fell upon Jun Xiaoyao.
Surprise, admiration, worship, respect!
Those were Prodigies of the Ba Clan royal lineage, and even Human-Ba hybrid of Divine Venerable level.
How terrifying was Jun Xiaoyao's strength!
"Wow, Young Lord is too amazing!" Tantai Mingzhu's eyes sparkled.
Tantai Qingxuan was also surprised, her admiration growing even stronger.
Women, after all, have a certain admiration for strength.
Mr. Yuan suddenly changed the subject and said to Han Ping'an, "Junior Martial Uncle Han, He Zixuan was your subordinate. Now Young Lord Jun Xiaoyao has avenged him."
"Our Jixia Academy cannot be impolite."
Mr. Yuan's words carried a deeper meaning.
Han Ping'an was from Master Gu's lineage.
If they could publicly overshadow him, it would also benefit Master Yan's lineage.
Furthermore, with Jun Xiaoyao joining Master Yan's side, it was undoubtedly a great boon for Master Yan.
Han Ping'an's expression changed slightly.
Because of Chu Xiao, he and Jun Xiaoyao were hostile from the start.
In fact, if it weren't for his Make things difficult, Jun Xiaoyao wouldn't even have needed to go to Xuan Yang World.
And now, he had to thank Jun Xiaoyao because of He Zixuan.
This made Han Ping'an feel extremely displeased.
But the Confucian school values propriety the most.
Jun Xiaoyao had avenged He Zixuan, so he needed to express his gratitude.
Han Ping'an's eyes shifted, and finally, he slightly cupped his hands and said.
"Many thanks, Young Lord Jun Xiaoyao, for avenging Zixuan."
Han Ping'an spoke almost word by word.
"Not at all, Northern Confucian, you're too polite." Jun Xiaoyao casually waved his hand, as if addressing a Junior.
Han Ping'an's eyelid twitched slightly.
As the Junior Martial Uncle of Jixia Academy, he had never bowed his head like this before.
Perhaps Han Ping'an would never have imagined.
He was actually thanking the person who had personally killed He Zixuan.
Jun Xiaoyao, however, felt perfectly at ease.
To him, those who harmed Yiyi deserved to die.
"Young Master Jun, congratulations on your triumphant return."
At this moment, Tantai Qingxuan and Tantai Mingzhu stepped forward.
Although Tantai Qingxuan really wanted to ask who the girl with her head down and face covered beside Jun Xiaoyao was.
But she was too embarrassed to ask directly.
"Oh, by the way, I found some trinkets this time. Qingxuan, if you don't mind, please accept them."
Jun Xiaoyao said, and directly took out a brilliant hairpin.
It was the Phoenix Hairpin, made of Phoenix Blood Immortal Gold, obtained in the underground palace.
It was a Quasi-Emperor Weapon.
"A Quasi-Emperor Weapon, this is too precious…" Tantai Qingxuan was surprised.
Quasi-Emperor Weapons were not common goods.
Although Tantai Qingxuan came from an Imperial Clan, she didn't possess a Quasi-Emperor Weapon at the moment.
Jun Xiaoyao merely smiled without speaking, and personally inserted the Phoenix Hairpin into Tantai Qingxuan's hair bun.
Tantai Qingxuan was both surprised and delighted, her fair, jade-like face as captivating as if it had been brushed with rouge.
On the side, Chu Xiao saw this scene.
He was so angry his liver hurt!
This Opportunity originally belonged to him.
He was supposed to personally give these treasures to Tantai Qingxuan.
But instead, Jun Xiaoyao borrowed flowers to offer Buddha.
And it made Tantai Qingxuan fall deeper and deeper!
Chu Xiao was filled with such hatred.
He even thought about repairing his relationship with Tantai Qingxuan at Jixia Academy.
But this… they were drifting further and further apart!
Chu Xiao's teeth chattered with anger, but he could only turn his head away.
Endure!
He still had to endure!
And on Jun Xiaoyao's side.
Tantai Mingzhu's eyes also darted around, though she said nothing, her face was full of anticipation.
"You have one too."
Jun Xiaoyao took out the jade pure bottle made of sandalwood jade.
"Thank you, Young Lord!"
Tantai Mingzhu was overjoyed.
Beside them, Yiyi, who had been keeping her head down, subtly revealed a hint of envy in her eyes.
But she said nothing.
She was a lowly Human-Ba hybrid, an ugly monster, how could she compare to these beautiful young ladies?
For Jun Xiaoyao not to despise her and to let her stay by his side was already her greatest blessing.
"Young Master Jun, who is this young lady…?"
Tantai Qingxuan finally mustered the courage to ask.
Jun Xiaoyao smiled and said, "She is someone I care about very much."
Yiyi's heart skipped a beat.
It felt as if a piece of candy had melted in her heart.
A little sweet…
"Is that so…" A hint of dimness appeared in Tantai Qingxuan's eyes.
At this moment, Mr. Yuan said, "Alright, Young Lord Jun Xiaoyao's entry into Jixia Academy should be without any doubt."
"Next, we will prepare for a few days and hold the initiation ceremony."
Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly and led Yiyi by the hand into the mountain gate.
Tantai Qingxuan sighed inexplicably in her heart.
She didn't know why she felt a sense of loss.
"Qingxuan…"
Chu Xiao came up at this moment, just about to speak.
Tantai Qingxuan then said, "Chu Xiao, you should go rest too."
With that, Tantai Qingxuan and Tantai Mingzhu left.
Leaving Chu Xiao standing alone.
Snowflakes drifted, and the north wind whistled.
He felt his heart was a little cold.
"Mingzhu, don't you like Young Master Jun? Why aren't you bothered at all?"
Tantai Qingxuan looked at Tantai Mingzhu, who still had a smile on her face and looked content.
"For a figure like Young Lord, no woman can completely occupy his heart."
"Being able to receive a gift from Young Lord is already enough to make me happy."
Tantai Mingzhu said lightheartedly.
Tantai Qingxuan then felt a little more at ease.
However, when did it start?
She actually became anxious and worried because of Jun Xiaoyao's every move.
