章 20: Chapter 20: Xiao Family Celebration, Xiao Yu Returns!
Chapter 20: Xiao Family Celebration, Xiao Yu Returns!
Xiao Ze had been consolidating his Dou Master realm these past few days.
And as he stabilized and stabilized, he took a steady step forward into the One-Star realm! Xiao Xuner was dumbfounded. She had just stabilized her Dou Zhe realm, and now Xiao Ze was advancing again?
To this, Xiao Xuner could only mutter, "What a monster!"
At the Xiao family's back mountain, Xiao Xuner pulled Xiao Ze all the way to the location of the hot spring.
"We've been practicing all morning, so it's a good time to wash up here!"
Xiao Xuner hinted, "Xiao Ze gege, can you help me keep watch and keep others away?"
"No problem, leave it to me!"
Xiao Ze patted his chest, assuring her.
With his current soul perception, not even Xiao Zhan could hide from him.
Moreover, there was also a high-level Dou Huang secretly guarding nearby. What existence could sneak up to this hot spring?
Seeing that Xiao Ze didn't seem to have any ulterior motives, Xiao Xuner blushed slightly and said, "Xiao Ze gege... don't think about peeking, okay~"
"Cough cough! Am I the kind of person who would sneak a look?"
Xiao Ze coughed and hastily replied, righteous.
"Hehe, you never know!"
Although she said that, Xiao Xuner clearly didn't suspect Xiao Ze. She simply removed her clothes efficiently and slowly entered the hot spring.
With mist swirling around and occasional sounds of water, it seemed to hint to Xiao Ze that a peerless beauty was bathing in the hot spring.
Humming a tune, Xiao Ze sat relaxedly on the outskirts, chatting with Xiao Xuner.
They were both only eleven years old, just children. What strange thoughts could they have?
"By the way, it seems like some family members have been busy organizing something recently. Is something big happening in the family?"
"Xiao Ze gege, you forgot! It's the annual coming-of-age ceremony, and this year seems to be Xiao Ning's coming-of-age ceremony."
The sound of water from the hot spring gradually approached.
"So Xiao Ning is also coming of age. Time flies."
Xiao Ze reclined with his hands behind his head, his eyes filled with complexity.
"I heard that Xiao Ning's sister, Xiao Yu, is also coming back. She's a genius who successfully enrolled in the Canaan Academy. Maybe she'll return as a Dou Zhe."
Xiao Ze fell silent. He had always been low-key and had no interaction with Xiao Yu.
The only interaction they had was when he recently fought her brother, Xiao Ning.
But he wasn't afraid of Xiao Yu coming to settle the score. With his current strength, he could easily handle the Elder!
"Xiao Ze gege, where do you plan to develop in the future? Joining a sect, or joining an academy like Xiao Yu?"
Perhaps because Xiao Ze didn't respond, Xiao Xuner also knew that Xiao Ze wasn't interested in such matters and quickly changed the subject.
"The Xiao family... can no longer provide the resources I need for rapid growth... It's time to consider the future."
Xiao Ze thought for a moment, then continued, "The sect has too many restrictions and rules. I don't like it."
"In that case, Xiao Ze gege, do you plan to enroll in an academy like Xiao Yu and join Canaan Academy?"
Xiao Xuner's voice came through the mist, somewhat unclear.
"Canaan Academy is indeed the best choice now, as it can provide me with the resources I need for rapid growth."
Xiao Ze nodded. He also leaned towards joining Canaan Academy.
Canaan Academy had no restrictions and could provide martial arts techniques and combat skills.
Most importantly, there was the Fallen Heart Flame in the inner courtyard, which had many benefits for cultivation.
"The family's coming-of-age ceremony is approaching, and it seems that the enrollment date for Canaan Academy is also coming soon. Xuner, do you want to go with me when the time comes?"
"Sure, and we've never been apart since we were little. If Xiao Ze gege goes to Canaan Academy alone, I might not be able to adapt."
The two of them, one outside the hot spring and one soaking in it, set their future goals.
...
Elder's Residence.
During this time, the Elder had been very well-behaved and had been working hard to help the Xiao family, striving to restore his position as Elder as soon as possible.
That day, he also heard about the anomaly at the back mountain, although there were many rumors in the family, none of the high-level members had come out to confirm them.
The Elder speculated that it was very likely Xiao Ze!
Because during this time, he had investigated Xiao Ze's whereabouts.
During Xiao Ze's low-key years, the place he most often stayed was the back mountain.
And after becoming a genius, he almost never appeared in the family. The only place he could be found was the back mountain.
The Elder muttered to himself, "That level of anomaly, combined with his previous strength as a Nine-Star Dou Zhe, could it be that he has broken through to Dou Shi?"
"Even if it's Dou Shi... that kind of anomaly is too terrifying! No, I have to make Xiao Ning personally apologize!"
"Xiao Ze's potential has been fully demonstrated. I must not be enemies with him, or even be on bad terms with him!"
The Elder suddenly stood up and heard exclamations from outside the door.
Opening the door, he saw a tall and graceful figure wearing the uniform of Canaan Academy, with a golden star on the chest.
Seeing that figure, the Elder smiled with relief. It was his granddaughter, Xiao Yu! She was a student of Canaan Academy!
Being able to join Canaan Academy already represented talent!
Because the admission criteria for Canaan Academy is to reach the eighth stage of Dou Qi before the age of eighteen!
"Grandpa!"
Xiao Yu walked up and said anxiously.
"I heard that you were dismissed from the position of Elder by the clan leader?"
The Elder nodded and said, "I have no objections to how this matter was handled."
Seeing that Xiao Yu still wanted to say something, the Elder spoke first.
"Do you know the whole story?"
Xiao Yu shook her head. She had only heard from others that the Elder's position had been temporarily suspended.
"Xiao Ze is not Xiao Yan. When Xiao Yan was a One-Star Dou Zhe, he greatly increased the clan leader's influence. And Xiao Ze's strength is even more terrifying. He's just an eleven-year-old Nine-Star Dou Zhe."
The Elder said slowly, and upon hearing this, Xiao Yu was stunned.
Then she took a sharp breath, and even her full chest trembled a few times.
"Nine! Nine-Star Dou Zhe!"
Xiao Yu couldn't help but look down at her chest, where a golden star was embroidered on the peak.
She suddenly felt that the disparity between people was even greater than that between people and dogs!
Xiao Yu didn't question it because it was what her grandfather said, and her grandfather had resigned as Elder because of it!
She smiled bitterly and said, "An eleven-year-old Nine-Star Dou Zhe, we really can't afford to provoke him..."
"Not only that! A few days ago, there was an anomaly at the back mountain. I strongly suspect that Xiao Ze may have broken through to Dou Shi!"
The Elder said solemnly, "I was just about to find Xiao Ning and let him personally apologize to resolve the conflict between Xiao Ze and him."
"Alas... alright, I didn't expect Xiao Ze's cousin to have such terrifying talent..."
Xiao Yu sighed.
At the same time, in Xiao Yu's heart, there was also some curiosity about Xiao Ze.
According to her grandfather, Xiao Ze probably broke through to Dou Zhe a long time ago, but he remained low-key!
Soon, with Xiao Yu's imagination, an image of a cultivation maniac who had no vanity and was dedicated to cultivation appeared in her mind.
"Grandpa, I'll go with you."
Xiao Yu suddenly said, she really wanted to see Xiao Ze.
The Elder looked Xiao Yu up and down, until Xiao Yu looked a little confused, the Elder smiled and said.
"Well, you two are roughly the same age, you can communicate."
...
The enrollment time for Xiao Yu is slightly earlier, which facilitates the introduction of Canaan Academy.
