Xiao Yan turned to look at Hun Changqing
, "Big brother, with your talent, why don't you join Canaan Academy? With your strength, you could easily defeat the geniuses at Canaan Academy.
With Canaan Academy's training, you'll definitely be able to advance to Dou Wang quickly!"
Hun Changqing's heart stirred slightly upon hearing Xiao Yan's words. Canaan Academy seemed to have a little dragon, a treasure female dragon.
If possible, he could go to Canaan Academy and kidnap that dragon.
However, Hun Changqing didn't directly answer Xiao Yan,
"I might go and take a look, we'll see then."
Gu Xun'er was slightly taken aback upon hearing Hun Changqing's words, not understanding why he would want to go to Canaan Academy. Did he have his eye on something at Canaan Academy?
Regardless of Hun Changqing's image in Gu Xun'er's mind, his undeniable nature of not acting without self-interest was undeniable.
"Hehe, it would be great if you went, big brother. Please take good care of me and Xun'er then."
Xiao Yan chuckled.
In his heart, Xiao Yan believed that Gu Xun'er would definitely join Canaan Academy with him. Without even thinking, he spoke up for Gu Xun'er.
Gu Xun'er nodded slightly, but in her heart, she kept defending herself.
"That's right, I'm going for Xiao Yan, not because he said he would go. Yes... I'm going for Xiao Yan, not because he..."
However, Gu Xun'er herself did not realize that when she defended herself, she seemed unable to say the word "brother" after Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yu said unhappily from the side, "Hey, hey, hey, what about me?"
Hun Changqing shrugged noncommittally. He said he was going to Canaan Academy, but he didn't say he would join Canaan Academy. It was possible that he would infiltrate.
He had many things to do and was not in the mood to play the game of pretending to be a weakling and sneaking into Canaan Academy to slap others in the face.
He's still in Wutan City, mainly to monitor Xiao Yan's cultivation progress and prevent him from acquiring any strange opportunities.
His main purpose is to wait for Gu Xun'er to reach the Great Dou Master level and receive the resources her family has given her. Once Hun Changqing has the resources, he'll leave immediately.
He currently has some resources left, taken from Gu Xun'er's storage ring.
It has to be said that Gu Xun'er's storage ring contains a lot of good stuff, which is why he hasn't left Wutan City to scavenge for resources elsewhere.
The things in Gu Xun'er's storage ring can last for a while.
...
The auction finally began, and the lights on the auction stage suddenly lit up.
Under countless gazes, Ya Fei, wearing a dress somewhat resembling a red cheongsam, gracefully stepped onto the auction stage.
Her curvaceous figure, tightly wrapped in the red cheongsam, immediately ignited a burning desire in some of the audience.
With a charming smile on her pretty face, Ya Fei covered her mouth and giggled as she spoke a few words to the audience.
That mature charm, almost igniting a fire in one's stomach, easily heated up the atmosphere in the room.
Looking at the suddenly heated atmosphere and the alluring Ya Fei on the stage, Xiao Yan couldn't help but exclaim, "That figure is too unfair! What a vixen!"
"Indeed,"
Hun Changqing nodded, wholeheartedly agreeing and echoing Xiao Yan's sentiments.
He then glanced at Xiao Yan beside him, regardless of what the boy thought.
But Hun Changqing had to admit that Xiao Yan had excellent taste; every woman he interacted with was a stunning beauty.
Gu Xun'er, who hadn't initially thought anything of Xiao Yan's words
, felt a surge of irritation when she heard Hun Changqing agreeing with him and staring intently at Ya Fei on the stage.
Her expression darkened. Xiao Yan, who had been staring at Ya Fei on the stage, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. Turning around, he saw Gu Xun'er's gloomy face.
Xiao Yan quickly realized that Gu Xun'er was jealous and hurriedly said,
"Um, Xun'er, don't be angry. I was just curious that Ya Fei, a woman, had achieved such a high status. You're hundreds of times prettier than that Ya Fei!"
Gu Xun'er ignored Xiao Yan, her gaze involuntarily drifting towards Hun Changqing, hoping to see his approval of her appearance.
Hun Changqing naturally noticed the commotion, but dismissed it as a lovers' quarrel, continuing to stare at the auctioneer on the stage, muttering,
"Ya Fei? Heh..."
A wicked smile appeared on Hun Changqing's face, hidden in the darkness.
Seeing that Hun Changqing showed no interest in her appearance, instead focusing on Ya Fei,
Gu Xun'er felt her emotions become even more chaotic. A feeling of resentment welled up in her chest, unable to be released, and a sudden surge of murderous intent arose within her.
Gu Xun'er felt an inexplicable urge to kill, to kill the woman on the stage…
But after realizing this, she was startled and quickly lowered her head, not wanting anyone to see her expression.
Xiao Yan, seeing Gu Xun'er's lowered head, assumed she was still angry and hurriedly tried to explain.
…
The auction ended quickly, and everyone left. Just as Xiao Yan and the others were about to leave, they noticed that Hun Changqing, who had been sitting nearby, was nowhere to be seen. Xiao Yan
looked around but couldn't find Hun Changqing. He scratched his head in confusion and said, "Strange, where is Big Brother? He disappeared in the blink of an eye."
Gu Xun'er guessed that Hun Changqing had probably gone to find the woman on the stage.
Clenching her fists, she felt she was barely able to suppress the murderous intent within her.
She took a deep breath, frantically telling herself not to think about Hun Changqing anymore, not to care what he was doing.
Then, Gu Xun'er and Xiao Yan headed towards the Xiao family compound.
...
Another six months passed, and today was the day Canaan Academy came to recruit students. Although the recruitment team was based in Wutan City, their area of responsibility covered several surrounding cities.
The huge recruitment square was packed with people, stretching as far as the eye could see. Waves of noise rose into the sky as countless young people desperately pushed their way into the square. If it weren't for the city lord's troops maintaining order at the edge of the square, these excited crowds would probably have already recklessly squeezed in.
At this moment, a man and a woman sat under the shade of a tree on the outer edge of the square.
The woman was pretty, with a pair of alluring eyes that seemed to hold autumn water, and cherry-like lips that were slightly curved, making her look charming and graceful. Her seductive body leaned tightly against the man, her arms wrapped around his, as she looked at the crowded square not far away.
A languid voice came from the woman, "It's been a long time since Wutan City has been this lively."
Hearing this, the man shrugged, somewhat helplessly,
"I really don't know what's so interesting about an academy's admissions ceremony. Why did you have to drag me along?"
He then picked at his ear and continued, "So many people, it's so noisy."
The woman covered her mouth and laughed,
"You old man, if you don't get some exercise, aren't you afraid your body will break down? This is the most lively Wutan City has had in recent years, of course we had to come and see."
Hearing this, the man reached behind the woman and pinched her ample bosom, laughing, "Don't you know how healthy I am?"
The woman blushed instantly, feigning anger, and slapped the man's chest, saying, "You rascal! You're always up to no good!"
These two were none other than Hun Changqing and Ya Fei, the female auctioneer from the Mittel Auction House.
