Chapter 245 Xun’er, beating him up won’t have any effect on you, right?
The junction of Black Horn Region and Canaan College.

The clouds were thick and the outline of a small town was vaguely visible in the gloomy sky.

When you get closer, you will see the plaque at the entrance of the quiet town.

The three slightly ordinary fonts of “Heping Town” exude a soft luster.

Above the sky, three streams of light fell.
Several students wearing Canaan Academy uniforms immediately became alert and their faces were full of vigilance.

In an instant, three figures appeared at the entrance of the town. They were Xiao Bai, Ziyan and Lei Zhen.

After gathering everyone together and bringing them to a safe area, Xiao Bai took Zi Yan and went ahead.

Looking at the familiar town in front of him, for some reason, his heart suddenly became impatient and wanted to fly into the inner courtyard immediately.

He took a deep breath, suppressed his impatience and anxiety, and bowed to Lei Zhen beside him:

“Brother Lei, I have something urgent to do in the courtyard, so let’s say goodbye now!”

Along the way, Lei Zhen was extremely enthusiastic and kept chatting with him, trying to get some information out of him.

He even tried to find out indirectly whether he had any relationship with the president of Canaan College.

Xiao Bai remained alert and kept his words to himself. After testing the situation, he had a rough idea in his mind.
This Lei Zhen should have a close relationship with Mang Tianchi in the Lei clan. His visit to Canaan College this time should be related to the latter.

And there seems to be some misunderstanding, thinking that he has some relationship with Mang Tianchi!
“Brother Xiao, you have something to do, so go ahead. Don’t worry about me. I’ll come back to you for a drink after I finish my work here!”

Seeing that Xiao Bai seemed to be really in urgent need of something, Lei Zhen hurriedly bowed.

Xiao Bai nodded, took Zi Yan forward, showed his identity to the law enforcement team, and then rushed towards the inner courtyard.

Behind him, looking at Xiao Bai’s receding figure, Lei Zhen slowly put away the smile on his face and murmured in a low voice:
“Xiao Bai. Five-Colored Thunder. Very similar to the fighting skills of the Thunder Dragon Killer in the clan. This time when I came to Canaan Academy, I unexpectedly discovered some interesting things!”

He retracted his gaze, his expression returned to a stern state, looked at the law enforcement team members in front of him, threw a token out, and said lightly:

“Find someone who can take charge to speak up!”

On the other side, although Heping Town is quite far from the inner courtyard, with the speed of Xiao Bai and the others,

By noon, they had arrived at the inner courtyard located deep in the mountains behind Canaan College.

Looking at the distorted space in front of him, Xiao Bai was about to speak when Zi Yan, who was standing beside him, reached out with her little hand and crawled in.

Before he could react, a small head popped out from the distorted space barrier, with two ponytails swaying slightly behind its head.

“Xiao Bai, why are you wasting time talking to that old man guarding the gate? Come in quickly!”

As he spoke, a white and tender little hand appeared on the barrier and waved to him quietly.

“.!” Xiao Bai.

If it weren’t for that delicate and cute little face, this scene would look like a horror movie.

Seeing Zi Yan’s familiar look, he must have done this many times before, so he didn’t bother to think too much and took a step forward to pass through the barrier.

An endless forest suddenly came into view. It looked quite familiar. This was the venue of the fire hunting competition when I entered the inner courtyard two years ago.

“Let’s go!”

With a slight feeling in his heart, Xiao Bai took the lead and rushed forward.

After an incense stick of time, the two flew over the forest and landed on a mountain.

Looking at the vast inner courtyard under his feet, Xiao Bai sensed it for a moment, then his face changed, his figure flashed, and he suddenly disappeared.

Inner courtyard, deep inside.

In a quiet attic, in the top room, rows of bookshelves stand upright, with a wide variety of books neatly arranged, emitting a faint scent of ink.

In the center of the room, in front of an antique desk, an old man with white hair and beard was sitting quietly, holding an ancient book in his hands with a focused expression.

Suddenly, the old man’s eyes moved, and he sensed the two auras that suddenly appeared in the inner courtyard, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

“He is back!”

Sensing the direction Xiao Bai was heading, he seemed to remember something, his expression changed slightly, and he wanted to go forward to stop him.

Just as he was about to stand up, his body paused, looking a little dejected.

“Forget it. Even if we prevent him from interacting with that tribe now, with his talent, we will meet them in the future. It would be nice to go and meet them!”

“Although this guy seems easy to get along with, he is actually quite arrogant. The people of that clan are even more arrogant. If the two sides meet, there will inevitably be a conflict!”

“No, I have to go and take a look. I can’t let them tear down my inner courtyard!”

He walked to the window and looked into the depths of the back mountain. The figure was about to disappear, but suddenly he looked towards the exit of the inner courtyard, and the old man’s face changed slightly.

The mountain behind the college.

The clouds are like gauze, gently lingering between the peaks.

Above the mountain stream, an ancient golden fire peach tree stands on the edge of the cliff, twisted and vigorous, full of bright golden and red peach flowers.

A young girl in green stood quietly under the tree, her long hair like a waterfall and her face elegant.

Her eyes were as clear as autumn water, yet tinged with a hint of sadness, as if they contained unspeakable thoughts.

“Brother Xiao Bai.”

She stretched out her bare hand, her fingertips lightly touching a falling petal, her beautiful eyes dazed and absent-minded.

She would always remember that there was also a golden fire peach tree in the Xiao family’s small courtyard.

A certain young man liked to sit on the stone table below and read a book, sometimes for a whole day.

And she likes to sit beside him and watch him quietly.
Same whole day!

But days like that seemed to rarely appear again after a certain day.

She clearly remembered that the boy became busy after he broke through to the fighter level.

From then on, the two of them spent less time together and more time apart, and the warm scenes they once had rarely appeared again.

“Brother Xiao Bai, Xun’er is leaving!”

He murmured softly, with a hint of reluctance and helplessness in his eyes.

“The clan has sent someone here. This time, Xun’er may not be able to delay any longer and wait for you to come back!”

The voice was very soft, as if he was talking to himself, or as if he was talking to the golden fire peach tree.

As the daughter of an ancient clan, she is destined not to be as free as ordinary people.

The tribe’s rules and the tribe’s expectations were like mountains pressing on her shoulders.

She once thought that as long as she stayed with Xiao Bai, she could temporarily escape these responsibilities.

But now, the clan seemed to have noticed her thoughts and would not give her any chance to delay.

Her fingertips gently loosened, and the golden-red petals fell in the wind, as if carrying her thoughts to someone far away.

“Haha, Miss Xun’er, you are here. It’s so easy for me to find you!”

A young man’s voice suddenly sounded over the mountain stream.

As the sound fell, the quiet atmosphere here was broken, and a dozen black spots in the sky gradually enlarged.

In the blink of an eye, a group of pitch-black monsters appeared above the mountain stream, with a single horn about a foot long on their heads.

It was covered with strange patterns, and there was a faint sound of wind and thunder coming from it. The four wide wings kept flapping, blowing up gusts of howling wind, pressing the branches below slightly lower.

“I am Lingquan, the new deputy commander of the Black Annihilation Army. I am here on the orders of the clan leader to bring the young lady back!”

The leading man on the four-winged unicorn clasped his fists respectfully.

The man was not very old, about twenty-four or twenty-five, with a handsome appearance. He was wearing a purple and black robe and looked quite steady.

“I have sent a message to the clan. I will go back by myself. Why do you have to come all the way here?”

Xun’er’s voice was soft and cold, with an unquestionable firmness.

She still had her back to Lingquan, her eyes still fixed on the falling golden-red petals, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.

Lingquan frowned slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

He jumped off the four-winged unicorn and landed several feet behind Xun’er. He said respectfully:

“Ms. Xun’er, I must take you back this time. Please don’t make things difficult for me.”

Xun’er still didn’t look back, but just said lightly:

“I said, I will go back by myself, you guys go first!”

Lingquan’s expression changed slightly, and his tone became a little tougher:
“I dare not disobey the order of the clan leader. If the young lady insists on not doing so, then I will be offended.”

Xun’er finally turned around, her eyes as calm as water, but with an invisible majesty:

“Lingquan, are you threatening me?”

Lingquan’s heart trembled, and he lowered his head quickly:
“I dare not, but the clan leader has given the order, and I have no choice but to obey!”

A hint of sadness flashed across Xun’er’s eyes. She knew the reason why Lingquan was so tough.

It was because the clan had already noticed some of her thoughts. If she delayed any further, not only would she be punished, but Xiao Bai might even be implicated.

“All right!”

Xun’er struggled in her heart. She really wanted to see Xiao Bai again, but if she continued to delay, it might be disadvantageous to him. She had no choice but to say softly:
“I’ll go back with you!”

Lingquan heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this, with a hint of a smile on his face:
“Thank you Miss Xun’er for your understanding.”

Ignoring him, Xun’er turned and looked at the golden fire peach tree, her eyes full of reluctance.

She gently plucked a petal and carefully held it in her arms, as if it was her most precious treasure.

“Brother Xiao Bai, Xun’er is really leaving!”

She said silently in her heart: “You must be fine!”

At this moment, a rapid sound of breaking wind suddenly came from the distance.

“Xun’er!”

The familiar voice made Xun’er’s heart tremble, and she felt a familiar breath approaching rapidly.

On the mountain stream, Xun’er felt mixed emotions as she watched the figure she had been thinking about day and night getting closer and closer.

I wanted to move forward, but I hesitated and didn’t take that step.

A streak of light fell on the mountain stream like lightning. Xiao Bai looked at the green figure under the golden fire peach tree, his eyes slightly dazed for a moment.

It was as if he saw again the girl who used to sit beside him, with her hands on her chin, and look at him quietly when they were at the Xiao family.

“You are Xiao Bai!”

Seeing the person coming, Lingquan’s eyes flashed with a hint of sternness. He took a step forward, stood between the two of them, and said coldly:

“You took advantage of my young lady’s youth and deceived him. I wanted to let you go for the sake of Canaan Academy, but I didn’t expect you to dare to show up here. You really don’t know how to live or die!”

His voice was icy cold and murderous intent was surging in his eyes.

“Who are you?”

Seeing that Xun’er had not left yet, Xiao Bai relaxed, retracted his gaze, and looked at the young man in front of him. His face was calm and he asked lightly.

“Deputy Commander of the Black Annihilation Army, Lingquan, it’s useless to tell you that the Xiao family has fallen into decline and is not qualified to contact this level. And you are just an adopted son of the Xiao family, so you are even less qualified!”

Lingquan raised the corner of his mouth, his eyes were playful, and the contempt in his voice was evident.

“Lingquan, shut up!”

When Xun’er heard this, her pretty face suddenly turned ugly, her voice was as cold as ice, and a hint of anger flashed in her eyes.

He stepped forward, stood in front of Xiao Bai, stared at Lingquan with a dagger-like gaze, and shouted:

“If you dare to speak rudely again, don’t blame me for being rude!”

Lingquan smiled nonchalantly and lowered his head slightly:
“Miss, please don’t be upset. I was just being too straightforward and worried that you might be deceived by someone with ulterior motives!”

Xun’er ignored him and turned to look at the black-robed young man in front of her. The anger in her eyes instantly dissipated, replaced by a touch of tenderness:
“Xiao, are you okay?”

The familiar name almost came out of her mouth, and Xun’er’s heart paused, and she asked calmly.

“I’m so sad!”

Seeing this girl pretending to be coquettish, Xiao Bai’s eyes flashed a smile. He pretended to be uncomfortable, covered his heart and said.

“You and I. I’m sorry!”

When Xun’er heard his words, she felt as if her heart was stabbed by a knife. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something but couldn’t. She lowered her head with her beautiful eyes dim and said timidly.

She thought that Ling Quan’s words had uncovered the scar in Brother Xiao Bai’s heart, which made him so uncomfortable. The hatred in her heart for the person behind him instantly surged like a surging river.

Seeing Xun’er’s appearance, Xiao Bai felt really distressed.

He pulled her by her arms, and with a cry of tenderness, he pulled her into his arms, gently hugged her slender waist, and said softly:

“Silly girl, I was sad because after not seeing you for several months, you didn’t even want to call me Brother Xiao Bai!”

“As for the words of that Lingquan, to me, they are like the barking of a dog!”

Hearing this, Xun Er, who was about to struggle, was stunned, and suddenly felt angry and amused.
It turned out to be true, he is still the bad guy!

If someone is proud in front of him, he will be more proud than that person!

A few words could not shake his mood at all. To him, the words of unimportant people were like air.

Sniffing the familiar scent, Xun’er thought of the name she hesitated to call out just now.
This behavior does cause greater harm to him who is unaware of it.

But she was also feeling uncomfortable. She sighed softly in her heart, opened her red lips slightly, and called softly:
“Brother Xiao Bai.”

“This is right!”

Hearing this familiar name, Xiao Bai nodded with satisfaction.

He stroked her black hair with his hand, looked at Lingquan whose eyes were about to spit fire, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, looked playful, and said silently:

“stupid guy!”

Seeing this, Lingquan’s face turned completely black, like the bottom of a pot, his eyes turned cold, and he said angrily:
“Xiao Bai, let go of my young lady!”

“Remember your identity. Miss Xun’er is the daughter of my clan. You are not someone who can reach her height!”

“Xun’er, beating him up won’t have any effect on you, right?”

Xiao Bai gently let go of the person in his arms, his dark eyes gradually deepened.
