Chapter 1691: Born with a Heart of Vast Righteousness, Heading to the Trial Ground

Only at this moment did Han Ping'an begin to take Within Jun Xiaoyao seriously.

This newly promoted Young Master of the Yun Imperial Clan seemed to have something.

Han Ping'an, as one of the Five Great Heaven-Defying Talents of the East, West, South, North, and Center,

had been transcendent in his daily life and few heaven-defying talents could enter his eyes.

But now, facing Within Jun Xiaoyao, there was a rare trace of vigilance in his heart.

This was absolutely not an easy character to deal with.

Hearing Within Jun Xiaoyao's words, Mr. Yuan also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Within Jun Xiaoyao was helping him resolve the situation and giving him a step down.

Thinking of this, Mr. Yuan couldn't help but feel a trace of gratitude in his heart.

But then, Within Jun Xiaoyao said: "I will naturally go to kill the Black Calamity clans."

"But these two women, Qingxuan and the other, don't need to, right?"

The implication was that Within Jun Xiaoyao wanted to waive the assessment for Tantai Qingxuan and Tantai Mingzhu.

Thinking that Within Jun Xiaoyao was still considering her at this time, Tantai Qingxuan also felt a trace of emotion in her eyes, and her heart felt warm.

And she was also very smart.

From the fact that Chu Xiao called Han Ping'an "Brother Han" earlier, she could see

that they seemed to have known each other and their relationship seemed pretty good.

This also inevitably made Tantai Qingxuan think:

Could it be that Chu Xiao held a grudge against Within Jun Xiaoyao in his heart, so he instigated and provoked Han Ping'an to make things difficult for Within Jun Xiaoyao?

If it were before, Tantai Qingxuan would absolutely not think this way.

But after the birthday banquet, she discovered that Chu Xiao's character had indeed changed.

He was no longer the simple, striving youth he used to be.

But Tantai Qingxuan was only speculating and was not sure.

However, what was certain was that Tantai Qingxuan's view of Chu Xiao had undoubtedly dropped significantly again.

Hearing Within Jun Xiaoyao's words, Mr. Yuan naturally agreed without hesitation.

Han Ping'an pondered for a moment and did not voice any opposition.

After all, Tantai Qingxuan also had a relationship with Chu Xiao.

"Since that is the case, then the matter is settled," Mr. Yuan laughed.

He naturally did not hope for any conflict between Han Ping'an and Within Jun Xiaoyao.

One was the Little Martial Uncle of the Jixia Academy, known as the North Confucian.

One was the Young Master of the Yun Imperial Clan, an Imperial Son-level figure.

If these two had a major conflict, it would not be good for the Jixia Academy.

Within Jun Xiaoyao had a gentle smile on his face and said indifferently: "Then that's it. If there is an opportunity later, I would like to exchange a few moves with Fellow Daoist Han."

The meaning of these words was very clear.

"That would be Han's honor," Han Ping'an also returned a smile.

That kind of invisible smoke was somewhat suffocating.

These two could be said to be important existences among the heaven-defying talents of the Boundary Sea.

And the assessment of the Jixia Academy came to an end under such circumstances.

Less than one or two out of ten heaven-defying talents passed the second pass.

But because the base was large, the number was not small.

It was imaginable that the third pass, the practical test, was the most dangerous and could best detect the average level of a heaven-defying talent.

Because the third pass was a practical test, it required some time to recuperate.

All heaven-defying talents had a few days to adjust their breath and prepare.

Chu Xiao was invited by Han Ping'an for a small gathering.

"This time, I have to thank Brother Han and Brother He," Chu Xiao bowed sincerely.

If they hadn't helped him resolve the situation, Chu Xiao might not even have been able to enter the gate of the Jixia Academy.

"Not at all. With your ability, Brother Chu, you could have joined anyway; it was just hindered by others," Han Ping'an smiled slightly.

"No matter what, I will toast the two of you," Chu Xiao raised his glass.

The atmosphere between the three was harmonious.

Afterward, Han Ping'an said: "With your strength, Brother Chu, this third pass, the practical test, should not be a big problem."

"However, the only thing that needs attention is that Yunxiao. He is absolutely not a person with a simple mind."

Han Ping'an, with a special physique, was born with a heart of vast righteousness, and his mind was extremely upright.

He could sense that Within Jun Xiaoyao was less of a hero and more of a deep-minded schemer.

A hero and a schemer, a difference of one word, but worlds apart.

"Thank you for your concern, Brother Han. I will pay attention," Chu Xiao said.

"How about this, Zixuan, you accompany Brother Chu," Han Ping'an said.

He Zixuan, as one of the Ten True Transmission Sages of the Jixia Academy, also had unfathomable strength.

With him there, it should be worry-free.

"Can do," He Zixuan nodded slightly.

"Thank you, both," Chu Xiao was joyful.

In this way, it would be difficult for Within Jun Xiaoyao to trip him up on the surface.

And on the other side,

Within Jun Xiaoyao, Tantai Qingxuan, Song Daosheng, and others were also having a small gathering.

"This time, thanks to the Young Master, otherwise I would have..." Song Daosheng said gratefully.

"Not at all," Within Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly.

Tantai Qingxuan on the side just smiled and poured tea for Within Jun Xiaoyao.

Song Daosheng looked and smiled: "Tantai girl and the Young Master truly have a fate."

Tantai Qingxuan's face flushed slightly upon hearing this.

Within Jun Xiaoyao laughed lightly: "You are all my friends. Isn't that also a kind of fate?"

And hearing these words, Tantai Qingxuan paused in her heart.

Just friends?

Within Jun Xiaoyao didn't notice Tantai Qingxuan's subtle change in expression.

He said: "How much does Brother Song know about Han Ping'an?"

Song Daosheng said upon hearing this:

"Han Ping'an has an extraordinary status. He was picked up from outside by Master Gu."

"But he was born with a heart of vast righteousness, has monstrous aptitude, and is even called to have the style of Saint Confucian."

"That's why he was given the status of Little Martial Uncle."

"It can be said that at the Jixia Academy, besides the various Masters, no one has a higher status than him."

After hearing Song Daosheng's words, Within Jun Xiaoyao revealed a trace of interest.

"Heart of vast righteousness."

Put this way, Han Ping'an was indeed an interesting character. No wonder he became the North Confucian among the Five Great Heaven-Defying Talents.

And Within Jun Xiaoyao also remembered.

His sign-in seemed not to have been activated yet.

It seemed he hadn't truly reached the sign-in location in the depths of the Jixia Academy.

But Within Jun Xiaoyao felt that his sign-in this time should also possibly be a treasure related to Confucianism.

When the time came, would Han Ping'an still be able to maintain his transcendent status?

Within Jun Xiaoyao sneered in his heart.

Soon, a few days passed.

In front of the mountain gate of the Jixia Academy, building ships, star boats, and flying ancient beasts were dense, covering the sky and the sun.

The heaven-defying talents who passed the first two passes gathered here, preparing to head to the trial ground under the leadership of the Jixia Academy's strong people.

"Young Master Jun, take care on the way."

Tantai Qingxuan, in plain white robes, stood gracefully in the wind, like a fairy flower in a garden, icy and pure, not eating the smoke of the world.

There was a trace of concern in her eyes.

Within Jun Xiaoyao nodded with a smile.

On the other side, Chu Xiao and He Zixuan were on the same star boat.

Watching that scene, Chu Xiao felt as if countless ants were gnawing at his heart.

Tantai Qingxuan's gaze then turned to Chu Xiao, and she also said: "Chu Xiao, you take care too."

Chu Xiao revealed a reluctant smile, but his fists were clenched tightly.

Endure!

Must endure!

Chu Xiao warned himself.

He believed that he absolutely had a chance to turn things around.

When the time came, Tantai Qingxuan
