Chapter 176: Separation

"Brother Xiao Yan already has an Exotic Fire, right? Why do you still need to search for Exotic Fires? And with Brother Xiao Yan's strength, you wouldn't be able to subdue this kind of Exotic Fire at all, right!" Xun Er looked at Xiao Yan, wanting to know how he would answer.

"Uh..." Xiao Yan rubbed his nose, thinking about how to answer appropriately.

"Does Brother Xiao Yan want to lie again? Have you forgotten the previous agreement?" As soon as Xun Er saw Xiao Yan rubbing his nose, she knew he was going to lie again.

Xun Er knew Xiao Yan had a habit: every time he was about to lie, he would subconsciously rub his nose.

"Sigh! Forget it, I'll tell you the truth! My Exotic Fire needs to devour other Exotic Fires to grow rapidly, and the grade of my Cultivation Method is also related to the power of the Exotic Fire. The stronger the Exotic Fire's power, the higher the grade of the Cultivation Method. That is why I want to go out and search for Exotic Fires." Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly and told the truth.

"So that's how it is. But the Exotic Fire Brother Xiao Yan wants is right here in Jia Nan Academy!" Xun Er's eyes brightened, and she said happily.

"Hehe, I will go take the Exotic Fire of Jia Nan Academy in the future. That was also my purpose for applying to Jia Nan Academy. But the timing is not right yet, so I can only go search for other Exotic Fires first." Xiao Yan said with a faint smile.

The people of the Hun Clan knew that Gu Yuan had sent his own daughter to the Xiao Clan, and they understood Gu Yuan's intentions. Unless the two great clans went to war immediately, they could not snatch the Tuoshe Ancient God Jade from the Xiao Clan from Gu Yuan's hands.

The Tuoshe Ancient God Jade was the key to opening the Ancient God Cave Mansion. When the eight ancient jades were gathered together, they would manifest the phantom of the Tuoshe Ancient God, and the location of the cave mansion would be in the eyes of the phantom. Finding the location of the Ancient God Cave Mansion would allow one to use the ancient jade to open the mansion, which contained supreme treasures that could allow one to advance to Dou Di.

Sure enough, after hearing Xiao Yan's words, Xun Er's mood improved quite a bit, and a smile appeared on her face.

Xiao Yan saw the Little Doctor Fairy looking at him and knew she wanted him to put in a good word for her.

"Xun Er, stop trying to persuade her. Everyone has their own path to walk. The Chuyun Empire is indeed the best place for the Little Doctor Fairy; there are the Cultivation Methods and Dou Techniques she needs there. Although we have some of these Dou Techniques and Cultivation Methods, their grades are not very high." Xiao Yan sighed and said slowly.

"Nalan Yanran?" Upon hearing this name, Xun Er frowned slightly, but she did not say anything.

"That's right! The Fallen Heart Flame is a treasure of Jia Nan Academy; it's not something that can be easily obtained." Xiao Yan sighed and said.

Xun Er naturally knew Xiao Yan's plan. Ever since the two of them had opened up to each other last time, they no longer hid things from each other.

Ever since the Dou Qi Continent lost the Emperor Origin, it had been impossible to break through to Dou Di, and one could only remain stuck at the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm.

"Don't worry, I won't let such a thing happen." Xun Er comforted him.

"Then does Brother Xiao Yan have news of other Exotic Fires?" Xun Er tilted her head and asked.

"Hehe, of course I have to be a bit different, otherwise how could I be worthy of Xun Er?" Xiao Yan flicked Xun Er's small nose and said with a faint smile.

Back then, Xiao Yan's grandfather, Xiao Lin, had been kidnapped by the Hall of Souls once, but no matter what methods the Hall of Souls used, Xiao Lin refused to reveal the whereabouts of the Tuoshe Ancient God Jade.

"Hehe, I know this, but I don't want to live a life of being protected. Besides, I am a Poison Master, and a Poison Master has a Poison Master's path to walk. Only the Chuyun Empire is the best place for me to train." The Little Doctor Fairy looked at Xiao Yan, who had been silent, and said with a faint smile.

"Yes, there is an Exotic Fire that is very suitable for me to devour in the Taguer Desert. So I have to go there, then go to the Imperial Capital to complete the agreement I made with Nalan Yanran back then, and then I will go to Jia Nan Academy to find you." Xiao Yan nodded and said.

"Don't worry, I will be careful. My way of devouring Exotic Fires is different from others; it's not that troublesome. I just control the Yin Yang Dual Flames in my body to devour other Exotic Fires." Xiao Yan smiled faintly and said.

The reason the major powers in Zhongzhou did not deal with the Xiao Clan was not because they could not find the Xiao Clan, but because they disdained to, feeling it was something they could get easily.

"No, you also know that I possess the E'nan Du Nv body. If I go to Jia Nan Academy, I will definitely be strictly controlled." A bitter smile appeared on the Little Doctor Fairy's mouth.

The small Xiao Clan held the key that could open the Ancient God Cave Mansion; it could be said that they were holding a time bomb.

Since they could not snatch the Tuoshe Ancient God Jade from the Xiao Clan for the time being, the people of the Hun Clan naturally focused their energy on the other eight ancient clans.

Xun Er looked deeply at Xiao Yan, then smiled playfully, "Brother Xiao Yan is really quite different!"

However, the enemy dealing with the Xiao Clan was the Hall of Souls, and behind the Hall of Souls was the Hun Clan of the eight ancient clans. The strength of the Hun Clan was even stronger than that of the Gu Clan.

But with Xiao Yan's personality, he could not just ignore his clan.

Hearing the Little Doctor Fairy's voice, Xiao Yan and Xun Er stopped their flirting, their expressions changing.

As for other enemies, Xun Er could naturally handle them easily.

The Little Doctor Fairy watched Xiao Yan and Xun Er flirting and could not help but chuckle. Then, a bitter smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Actually, I also have to go out to train."

"As far as I know, devouring Exotic Fires is a very dangerous thing, right!" Xun Er looked at Xiao Yan, the worry on her face self-evident.

Of course, the actions of the Hall of Souls naturally did not escape the notice of Gu Yuan and his group. The main purpose of Gu Yuan sending Xun Er to the Xiao Clan was actually to tell the Hun Clan not to make any more small moves.

Now that Xiao Yan's strength was improving faster and faster, it was no exaggeration to say that the Xiao Clan had become a burden to Xiao Yan.

Although the Little Doctor Fairy knew that Xiao Yan and Xun Er had methods to control the E'nan Du Nv body, it was very unwise to expose herself before the E'nan Du Nv body was under control.

"Hehe, going to Jia Nan Academy doesn't mean you'll be idle. The young disciples of the clan have all gone to Jia Nan Academy, and they still need your help. Besides, I need you to help me inquire about the situation of the Exotic Fires possessed by Jia Nan Academy so that I can obtain the Exotic Fire more easily when the time comes." Seeing Xun Er looking a bit dejected, Xiao Yan quickly comforted her.

The Little Doctor Fairy possessed the E'nan Du Nv body; she would not learn anything by going to Jia Nan Academy, and instead, she would be ostracized and might even be attacked and killed by some people who thought they were noble.

Xiao Yan looked deeply at the Little Doctor Fairy. Xiao Yan had long known that the Little Doctor Fairy would go out to train just like him.

If Xiao Yan put too much energy into protecting the clan, it would be a case of the loss outweighing the gain.

"That is true. The background of Jia Nan Academy is not simple; using force to snatch it is not advisable." Xun Er nodded and said.

Of course, it was not that they had not tried to take action, but they had failed in the end.

"You are all going out to train, it would be really boring for me to go to Jia Nan Academy alone!" Xun Er sighed helplessly and said.

As for why the Hun Clan wanted to deal with the Xiao Clan, it was of course because the Xiao Clan possessed something they desperately wanted—the Tuoshe Ancient God Jade.

Although the Little Doctor Fairy would certainly be safe under Xun Er's protection, her heart would certainly not feel good.

Xun Er walked to the Little Doctor Fairy's side, held her hand, and said with great reluctance, "Why are you leaving too? Are you not going to accompany me to Jia Nan Academy?"

An innocent man is not guilty, but his treasure makes him a criminal.

After all, as long as they obtained the Tuoshe Ancient God Jade from the other clans, it would be much simpler to snatch the Xiao Clan's piece of jade, whether by direct force or secret moves.

Of course, the main reason was that the Xiao Clan's strength was too weak, so weak that the Hun Clan could not be bothered to spare the energy to deal with them.
