Chapter 620: of

Seeing that the crimson figure was about to reach her, Bai Xiaoxiao immediately retreated backward.

Unfortunately, her combat awareness was ultimately a bit too weak; she had never imagined that her opponent's arms could extend at will.

In the blink of an eye, she was tightly gripped in the palm of those enormous hands.

Looking at the girl who had already been controlled by 【Blood Body of Returning Heaven】, Zhao Yan asked, "You said you wanted to take me as your master—what is it you want to learn?"

He had not expected that his true identity had already been exposed; after all, in this world today, those who knew of 【Wangchuan Art Academy】 were probably only him and his senior sister.

He had thought Bai Xiaoxiao had merely seen through his identity as a Famen and wanted to learn how to use innate divine abilities.

After all, to be honest, her combat skills were probably not even as good as his when he was ten.

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaoxiao fell silent.

Seeing this, Zhao Yan did not urge her, simply waiting quietly for a reply.

This little girl could stay and do some things for him that were inconvenient for him to do himself.

Moreover, to a certain extent, she was far stronger than the Famen on the other side of Sanchuan Town.

Just as Zhao Yan was pondering how to make use of the girl before him, a voice suddenly rang out by his ear.

"Wangchuan Art Academy—I want to join Wangchuan Art Academy."

Hearing this long-unheard name, Zhao Yan did not react for a moment.

Yet after several seconds, he suddenly raised his head, fixing Bai Xiaoxiao with an extremely solemn expression: "Where did you hear this name?!"

Having spoken, his mind involuntarily flashed through many possibilities.

Was it that some disciples back then had not had their memories erased? Or was it that some other Men Sect had recorded the causes and circumstances of that battle?

No—that Immortal Lord of Ten Thousand Dharmas of the Mundane World could not possibly have made such an oversight.

So—

This little girl, does she have some connection to the Sanzhenfa Sect?

Thinking of this, Zhao Yan could not help but furrow his brow tightly.

Faced with the questioning, Bai Xiaoxiao answered with some difficulty: "An elder."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yan's expression gradually cooled: "You don't think a line like that is going to fool me, do you?"

Just as he was about to teach the girl a lesson and make her tell the truth, a string of writing suddenly appeared before his eyes.

【The supreme lord of the Wangchuan Art Academy actually attacks a little child too?】

The words that had appeared out of thin air caused Zhao Yan's movements to pause involuntarily.

Then, before he could react, a perfectly measured repulsive force had already helped Bai Xiaoxiao break free from the control of 【Blood Body of Returning Heaven】.

Ignoring the girl who was rolling her shoulders, Zhao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and asked: "Are you that elder, sir?"

"Interesting… I didn't expect anyone still remembered that battle back then."

Since the other party could see through his identity, it meant it was not because 【Blood Body of Returning Heaven】 had recognized Wangchuan Art Academy, but because they truly knew what had actually happened back then.

"Since you wish this little girl to enter Wangchuan Art Academy, why not show yourself so we can meet?"

He wanted to see just which old acquaintance it was—or perhaps the descendant of one.

However, Zhao Yan was destined to be disappointed; the writing quickly updated its content.

【Due to certain reasons, I cannot show myself.】

Looking at the latest content that had appeared before him, Zhao Yan's expression gradually grew strange: "…The Punishment of the Law of Cause and Effect?"

As a seeker of the Great Divine Ability, he was intimately familiar with this great weight pressing down atop all seekers.

But if that was the case, the other party was very likely not a person of this era.

And just as he had thought, the owner of the writing confirmed his guess.

However, the last few sentences in the writing caused Zhao Yan's eyes to suddenly widen.

【That's what you said—I didn't say anything.】

【As a reward for you taking this little girl as your disciple, I can help you reunite with Shangguan Xiao ahead of time.】

Shangguan Xiao—

Was the name of Zhao Yan's senior sister.
