Chapter 112: Farewell Gift, Deep Affection in a Kiss!
The atmosphere in the inner courtyard remained as usual.
Even the previous Strong Ranking Tournament had greatly spurred many students' fighting spirit, as they eagerly anticipated becoming the next strong contender.
To stand out in the inner courtyard!
Xiao Ze walked along and witnessed many duels among the students.
Many of the students, upon seeing Xiao Ze, looked at him with admiration and worship.
In such a fiercely competitive environment like the inner courtyard, admiration for the strong was even more apparent.
Although Xiao Ze appeared approachable, they still didn't dare to disturb him rashly.
Returning to his attic residence, Xiao Ze found that Xiao Xuner had already returned.
"Xiao Ze, do you want to go for a walk and relax together?"
Upon seeing Xiao Ze return, Xiao Xuner stood up and smiled.
"Of course, it's important to balance work and rest."
The two quietly strolled through the inner courtyard. The inner courtyard was vast, and as long as they didn't venture into the popular areas, it was generally quiet.
They walked quietly like this, enjoying their peaceful time together.
The next few days were similar.
Xiao Ze rarely relaxed, neither practicing alchemy nor cultivating.
He accompanied Xiao Xuner in the inner courtyard and deep in the mountains, enjoying their own quiet time together.
Xiao Yan also realized that something was about to happen, so she didn't intervene and practiced alone in the first practice room.
Deep in the mountains, on a hillside filled with the fragrance of flowers and the chirping of birds.
The two lay on the hillside, and suddenly Xiao Xuner sat up halfway, taking out a black scroll from her storage ring.
"Xiao Ze, you must remember to keep this scroll safe!"
"This is our clan's secret martial skill! Only those who reach the Dou Saint realm are qualified to practice it. Once practiced, remember not to use it unless in a life-threatening situation."
"If our clan finds out, they will definitely come to reclaim it!"
After Xiao Xuner finished speaking, she placed the black scroll in Xiao Ze's palm.
"Xuner... Are you leaving?"
"Xiao Ze, you've guessed it..." Xiao Xuner's lips curled into a bitter smile, her eyes full of reluctance.
"Xiao Ze, it's a better choice for both of us if I go back."
"I don't want to burden you anymore. Those precious elixirs should be taken by you, Xiao Ze, for your own benefit!"
"Also... I actually have a strong desire to excel. Always lagging behind Xiao Ze..."
"At least in the future cultivation path, I want to walk side by side with Xiao Ze..."
Xiao Xuner spoke softly, explaining her reasons for going back.
Xiao Ze listened and thoroughly understood Xiao Xuner's inner thoughts.
From Xiao Xuner's perspective, it was Xiao Ze's excessive efforts that made her feel burdened, thinking that she was holding Xiao Ze back.
If Xiao Ze used those elixirs himself, he could gain more benefits.
Meanwhile, always lagging behind Xiao Ze also ignited Xiao Xuner's competitive spirit, or rather, it was a kind of worry and fear!
Worried that in the future cultivation path, Xiao Ze would leave her far behind!
Afraid that she wouldn't even qualify to walk side by side with Xiao Ze.
So Xiao Xuner harbored the idea of returning to the ancient clan.
Xiao Ze took a deep breath. Xiao Xuner's return to the ancient clan this time was not the clan's command or request, but her own idea.
Since Xuner had made up her mind, Xiao Ze didn't want to force her.
Forcing Xuner to stay by his side would only make her feel increasingly heavy-hearted and under immense pressure.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ze hugged Xuner tightly.
In Xuner's shy eyes, Xiao Ze slowly lowered his head.
As they drew closer, their lips met without the slightest gap, firmly pressed together.
After a long time, they finally separated. Xuner's breathing was a bit rapid, and her body felt weak.
Xuner's face suddenly turned extremely red, and she gently pounded Xiao Ze's chest.
"Xiao Ze, you always bully Xuner!"
"Xuner! Wait for me! I will definitely come to find you, no matter what obstacles stand between us, I will remove them!"
Xiao Ze's voice was somewhat hoarse. "I know your family background is extremely profound, but as I said before, if you can't reach Dou Saint, then aim for Dou Di!"
"Xiao Ze, if you really become a Dou Di, I'm afraid no girl on the Dou Qi continent would dare to refuse you."
"Xiao Ze, I'm waiting for you in the ancient clan. You must come!"
After the kiss just now, their relationship had once again reached a new level.
"Oh right, this is the Earth Core Body Forging Milk, which has great benefits for tempering the body."
Xiao Ze took out a jade bottle containing the Earth Core Body Forging Milk and explained its properties one by one.
Xiao Xuner listened with some sighs. "This natural treasure also has its own means of protection, hidden within the stalactites... But..."
Seeing Xiao Xuner hesitate, Xiao Ze quickly said, "I've accepted your farewell gift, won't you accept mine?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuner smiled with relief.
A beautiful smile that made even the birds sing.
"Then Xuner will accept it."
Xiao Ze also gave Xiao Xuner some taboos about using the Earth Core Body Forging Milk.
For example, it cannot be used directly, otherwise, one cannot withstand the terrifying energy it contains.
Or it cannot be contaminated; only the purest jade can come into contact with the Earth Core Body Forging Milk.
Xiao Xuner listened quietly to Xiao Ze's rambling, with a happy smile on her lips, tightly hugging the jade bottle.
"Xiao Ze, it's almost time. You should leave first. The people of my clan are domineering, and I'm afraid you might get hurt if you stay."
Xiao Xuner earnestly requested Xiao Ze, her eyes full of reluctance.
Seeing Xuner like this, Xiao Ze remained silent for a moment, then gently rubbed her head.
"Xuner, take care!"
"Xiao Ze, Xuner will wait for you to come find me."
Xiao Xuner watched as Xiao Ze gradually walked away. She waited for a while in place, then saw dark shadows gradually appear in the distance.
The powerful gust of wind generated by the flying demonic beasts beneath them pressed down on the flowers and grass on the hillside.
This was the elite force of the ancient clan—the Black Extinction Army.
The flying demonic beast below them was a four-winged unicorn known for its formidable combat power.
Standing atop the four-winged unicorn were members of the Black Extinction Army emanating a powerful aura.
An elderly man with white hair slowly landed in front of Xiao Xuner and bowed.
"Welcome back to the ancient clan, Miss Xuner!"
Xiao Xuner nodded.
This was an elder of the clan. Her return this time was initiated by herself, and the clan was delighted and valued it.
They sent an elder to lead the Black Extinction Army to pick her up.
With a light leap, she jumped onto the flying demonic beast.
"Depart!"
The old voice rang out, and the Black Extinction Army tightly guarded the four-winged unicorn Xiao Xuner was riding.
Before the elderly man left, he glanced thoughtfully at the valley behind him.
"This hiding ability... Interesting little guy. The foundation of the Canaan Academy still exists..."
After speaking, the elder shook his head.
This was the territory of the Canaan Academy, and it was better not to get too involved.
Then, his figure shot away.
Xiao Ze soared into the sky, watching Xiao Xuner leave.
Xiao Xuner, standing on the four-winged unicorn, seemed to sense something and suddenly turned back.
Seeing Xiao Ze waving goodbye to her, her eyes became slightly moist.
"Xiao Ze, take care..."
