Chapter 209: Seeking Relatives

Others do not know that the Soul Hall is preparing to infiltrate the Jia Ma Empire with all its might, and even if they did, they would not care; the things that needed to be cleaned up have mostly been cleaned up, and the rest is just for others to see.

Xiao Han cares even less; he is currently busy taking a certain dragon, about ten thousand years old, to Jia Nan Academy to find relatives.

Above the Black-Corner Region.

"Your Excellency, are you certain that the Highness of my Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan is here?" Zhu Huo frowned as he sensed the scene below.

Upon first meeting, Zhu Huo's first impression of the Black-Corner Region was that it was chaotic; disorder and chaos are the best descriptions for the Black-Corner Region.

He truly could not imagine that a Highness of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan would condescend to be here.

"Feel it carefully yourself; you Taixu Ancient Dragons should have similar senses, right?" Xiao Han did not waste words and reminded him directly.

"Oh, right!" Zhu Huo suddenly realized; the excitement from just a moment ago had made him forget this point.

He quickly employed the secret techniques of his clan to sense carefully; they had not failed to try this before, but they had gained nothing.

But this time, it was clearly different!

In Zhu Huo's bloodline perception, there was indeed the bloodline of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan in a certain place in the Black-Corner Region, and it was as conspicuous as a lighthouse in the dark night, even carrying an innate pressure.

"That's right, found it, found it..." Zhu Huo said repeatedly, his old eyes streaming with tears.

"Well, do you believe this Saint now?" Xiao Han glanced at Zhu Huo with annoyance; the other party had asked this countless times over the past month, and it was simply tiresome.

"Many thanks, Ice Saint. My clan will keep your kindness to the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan in our hearts! If there is any need in the future, my Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan will certainly do our utmost to assist Langya Pavilion," Zhu Huo said with a solemn expression.

Since he had found the true Royal Bloodline, as long as he brought that Highness back to East Dragon Island to be nurtured properly, one day, they would surely unify the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan and recreate the glory of the past.

"You are overjoyed just by this?" Xiao Han said with a strange expression.

"Naturally. Does Your Excellency have any other questions?" Zhu Huo asked curiously; the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan has an Emperor now—for an old minister like him, is that not enough?

"Nothing!" Xiao Han felt it was better to wait a while before mentioning Zhu Kun, otherwise he worried that Zhu Huo's blood pressure would be too high and he would drop dead from the shock.

"Follow me!" Just now, Xiao Han only let Zhu Huo sense it carefully to put his mind at ease; as for leading the way, that was naturally left to the familiar Xiao Han himself.

Zhu Huo had no objections; everything was for the sake of seeing the Highness as soon as possible.

Jianan Inner Academy.

The token on Xiao Lin's body flickered, and he finally walked out of his courtyard after a long time.

"Have they arrived?"

Xiao Lin's figure instantly vanished, and then he found Zi Yan, who was urging Xiao Yan to work.

The moment she saw Xiao Lin, Zi Yan's small face turned pale, while Xiao Yan and the others had bean-shaped eyes, confused and bewildered—who is this?

Siluke

"Old... Old Lin, why did you run here?" Zi Yan asked tremblingly; could it be that she had stolen too many Medicinal Herbs from the medicine storehouse a few days ago and had been reported by those old things again?

Su Qian was usually busy with official business and could not manage Zi Yan at all; therefore, whenever the latter caused trouble, the Inner Academy Elders would come in an orderly fashion to find Xiao Lin, this second guardian.

Xiao Lin did not indulge Zi Yan's habit of taking things at will at all, and he would give her a lesson every time.

As time went on, Zi Yan developed an instinctive reaction: whenever Xiao Lin took the initiative to walk out of his courtyard and appear before her, it was automatically assumed that he was there to discipline her.

However, this was only for Zi Yan; the others had long heard of this mysterious Lin Elder before them, and now they had finally seen him in person.

Xiao Yan was even more surprised that Zi Yan, this little Demon King who feared nothing, was like a mouse seeing a cat in front of this old man.

And for some unknown reason, he always felt a familiar sense of intimacy from this stern-faced old man.

"Little girl, come with me for a moment!" Xiao Lin did not give Zi Yan any chance to slip away; he appeared eerily by her side and picked her up by the back of her neck.

Zi Yan struggled violently and shouted at the group, heartbroken: "Xiao Yan... hurry and save me!"

Heartbroken!

Hearing Zi Yan's words, Xiao Yan and the others instead nimbly stepped aside, eyes fixed on their noses and hearts, looking as if they knew nothing at all.

"Enough, be honest!" Xiao Lin slapped Zi Yan on the head directly. Afterward, he tossed a Storage Ring to Xiao Yan, which the latter accepted with a blank face.

Xiao Lin vanished from everyone's sight instantly, leaving a voice in Xiao Yan's ear:

"This little girl Zi Yan has caused you quite a bit of trouble, hasn't she? Consider these things a token of gratitude for you looking after Zi Yan."

A token of gratitude? Xiao Yan quickly glanced inside the Storage Ring, then gasped, his heart filled with wild joy, and the smile on the corners of his mouth could not be suppressed:

"Hehe... hehehe..."

This made Xun Er, who was on the side, look worried, wondering if that Lin Elder had used some kind of mental attack on Xiao Yan.

Xiao Lin's move perfectly gave away a pile of things without arousing the slightest suspicion.

On the other side, Zi Yan was brought directly to his courtyard by Xiao Lin and set down.

"Old Lin, what do you want to do?" Zi Yan covered her head pitifully, preparing to welcome the impending education.

However, what made Zi Yan strange was that this time, Xiao Lin did not take out the large ruler he used to discipline her.

Instead, he suddenly said to her, "Your clansmen have been found."

"Old Lin, what did you say?" Zi Yan lowered her hands and asked with a strange expression, "Clansmen?"

"Yes!" Xiao Lin replied expressionlessly, "Your clansmen will come to see you in a while. When that time comes, whether you go or stay is up to you."

Clansmen? Zi Yan fell into a rare silence.

The usual Zi Yan was carefree and caused trouble everywhere, but that did not mean she was stupid; on the contrary, she also had a delicate heart.

Apart from Su Qian and Xiao Lin, she had not truly met any friends in Jia Nan Academy; the recently met Xiao Yan could count as one.

But Zi Yan was also thinking about why she was in the mountains of the Black-Corner Region as soon as she was born; where were her parents? Her relatives?

Her fanatical pursuit of Medicinal Herbs was also to grow up as quickly as possible, so that she would have enough strength to search for those ethereal relatives.

Now, Xiao Lin told her that her clansmen had been found?

Zi Yan was lost in confusion at this moment; was she really prepared?

Seeing Zi Yan's inner struggle, Xiao Lin softened his tone and patted her little head: "Don't think so much; you can completely meet them first. As for whether you acknowledge them or not, we can talk about that then!"

"Mm." Zi Yan soon revealed her usual silly, happy look again, "I'm telling you, if I'm not willing, you cannot send me away!"

Xiao Lin said with a wry smile, "Fine, as long as you don't want to leave, not even the Heavenly King himself could take you away. This old man can still afford to raise a little glutton like you."

"That old man Su Qian won't let you suffer any grievances either."

"You said it yourself, okay!" Zi Yan stared with her purple eyes, looking earnestly at Xiao Lin, "Yes, I said it."

"Who knows, maybe in the future this old bag of bones of mine will have to rely on you for my retirement!"

"Then you'd better be careful; if you bully me again, when you get old, I won't take care of you," Zi Yan threatened playfully.

"You're really something!" Xiao Lin gave Zi Yan another flick to the forehead, leaving the latter feeling aggrieved.
