Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

As soon as these words were spoken, the air on the field froze instantly.

Although Lei Jing and Gu Qinghan looked unhappy, they were not too angry. They knew that Xiao Yan would not agree to it. This was the most basic trust in Xiao Yan.

But a little girl saying such vicious words to her husband in front of them would make the wives speechless.

Not to mention Zi Yan, this girl has always been silly and never cares about this kind of thing.

Nalan Yanran also had no reaction. It was not because she thought like Gu Qinghan that Xiao Yan would not agree, but because she felt that it didn't matter whether Xiao Yan agreed or not. This one more person wouldn't make a difference anyway.

That is to say, the only person on the field who almost broke down because of Ren Han’s words was Xun’er.

As for the reason why Xun'er's defense was broken, it was very simple. That was that even a little girl dared to express her feelings to Xiao Yan so bluntly, but she had not taken any action until now. In comparison, she was simply a waste.

After quickly calming herself down, Xun'er frowned and listened carefully to Xiao Yan's reply.

It’s not that she had never thought about confessing to Xiao Yan so bluntly, but Xun'er anticipated that the consequences of doing so might be quite serious. Knowing that Xiao Yan would reject Ren Han, she wanted to know how Xiao Yan would respond to such a confession.

Xiao Yan looked at Ren Han quietly, then smiled softly after a moment and spoke.

"Thank you for your kindness. If I were ten years younger and didn't have a wife, I would probably consider it seriously."

Not to mention that Xiao Yan is now very mature mentally and would not blush or get embarrassed by a girl's confession, let alone a teenage girl. Xiao Yan didn't even take Ren Han's confession seriously.

After hearing Xiao Yan's answer, the light in Xun'er's eyes dimmed a little.

If I confessed to Xiao Yan, I would probably get a similar response.

After hearing Xiao Yan's reply, Ren Han was stunned for a while, then suddenly reacted, his face turned red, and he waved his hands repeatedly.

"Sorry, sorry! That's not what I meant!" Ren Han looked uneasy and explained, "Because your deeds of unifying the Black Horn Region have always been an unparalleled model in our management field. I hope to work under you after graduation and learn from your experience seriously. That's really all."

"Oh~ I see, sorry I misunderstood." Xiao Yan understood and smiled slightly, not taking it seriously, and continued: "It just so happens that the Tianhe League is short of management staff right now. If you really have this intention in the future, you can go to the Tianhe League to participate in the induction at any time."

"Yes! I will work hard!"

Ren Han's face flushed red, and his heart was pounding with excitement.

The name of Tianhe League is certainly not unfamiliar. It is a huge force that has unified the entire Zhongzhou. How can Ren Han not be excited about the opportunity to work in Tianhe League in the future?
Then Xiao Yan looked at Hu Qian and spoke with a serious expression.

"Dean Hu Qian, can you take us to the inner courtyard to meet Elder Su Qian? I have something I want to ask for your advice."

"of course can."

Hu Qian nodded, then waved to Ren Han and led everyone away. Ren Han stood there and looked at the backs of everyone getting farther and farther away. Thinking of what he had just said, his face turned red again and he raised his hands to cover his face tightly.

"Ren Han, Ren Han, don't you think before you speak? Won't it be misunderstood if you say those things to a married man?"

Ren Han blamed himself like this, and it took him a long time to calm down. What emerged in his mind was Xiao Yan's gentle smile just now, especially those blue eyes. Even now, when he recalled it, Ren Han couldn't help but be deeply immersed in it and couldn't help muttering.

"Speaking of which, Senior Xiao Yan is really handsome."

Ren Han had infatuated looks in his eyes, while on the other side, Xiao Yan, who was following Hu Qian to the inner courtyard, suddenly sneezed inexplicably, rubbed his nose, and his eyes were full of confusion.

Caught a cold? No way? I am this strong, how can I catch a cold?
Lei Jing, who was standing by, looked over and joked softly.

"I guess that little girl just now is thinking about you."

"You really take every opportunity to make fun of me."

Xiao Yan looked at Lei Jing speechlessly. Lei Jing had teased him countless times along the way. Although Lei Jing had always been accustomed to arguing with him, Xiao Yan was basically used to it by now.

"What? Any objections?" Lei Jing looked at Xiao Yan complacently, "If you have any objections, then don't marry me!"

Lei Jing's face suddenly froze. She covered her mouth fiercely under Xiao Yan's puzzled gaze and cautiously glanced sideways at Xun'er behind her.

Fortunately, Xun'er had a serious look on her face at the moment, and no one knew what she was thinking about. She probably didn't hear what was said just now, which made Lei Jing breathe a sigh of relief. However, Xiao Yan looked at her in confusion.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"fine."

Lei Jing waved her hand and passed it off, and at this time everyone had already arrived at the inner courtyard.

Compared to the outer courtyard, the inner courtyard is now much quieter, which makes Xiao Yan sigh. You know, the inner courtyard was a place that students tried their best to get into, but now it is so deserted.

Of course, Xiao Yan was naturally pleased with this change. It proved that most of the students in Canaan College no longer regarded the pursuit of strength as everything in life.

Hu Qian came to the elders' building in the inner courtyard. The guard at the door saw that it was Hu Qian and did not stop him. He let him in directly and looked at Xiao Yan and others who followed Hu Qian into the elders' building with confusion.

By the way, does the leader look familiar to you?
Hu Qian led Xiao Yan and his group to the door of Su Qian's office. He pushed the door open without knocking and spoke with a smile to Su Qian, who was preparing to make tea on the sofa.

"Su Qian, who's here?"

Su Qian frowned and put down the teapot, looking behind Hu Qian. When he saw Xiao Yan, his eyes suddenly became filled with surprise.

"Xiao Yan! Are you back?"

Su Qian quickly stood up, and at this time Zi Yan also jumped out from behind Xiao Yan and greeted Su Qian happily.

"Hey! Old man! I'm back too!"

"You're finally back, girl!"

Seeing Zi Yan, Su Qian immediately turned his target from Xiao Yan to Zi Yan. With eyes full of affection, he walked in front of Zi Yan and raised his hand to pat her face.

Su Qian really treats Zi Yan as her own daughter, so naturally he cares about her very much.

But this scene did not seem right to Zhu Huo and Zhu Li, and they felt uncomfortable.

Even Su Qian, a human being, could slap Zi Yan's face so wantonly. The key point was that Zi Yan didn't object at all. Instead, she enjoyed it very much. If they dared to do that, Zi Yan would probably punch them directly.

He was obviously their own Dragon Emperor, but he sided with an outsider, which made Zhuhuo and Zhuli feel sad.

No, that's not the case.

In Zi Yan's mind, between Taixu Gulong and Su Qian, the former is obviously the outsider.

"You've grown quite a bit over the years, are you happy?"

"Very happy, but Xiao Yan always has no time."

Zi Yan pouted and stared at Xiao Yan with resentment, causing Xiao Yan's mouth to twitch. Su Qian didn't think much about it and patted her head to comfort her. "Xiao Yan has so many things to do now, how can he have time to play with you all the time? You have grown up, it's time for you to learn to be sensible."

"I'm not looking for him to play, I'm looking for him for serious matters!"

Zi Yan crossed her arms in dissatisfaction, while Su Qian raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled casually.

"Serious business? What serious business can you have?"

From this meeting, Su Qian judged that Zi Yan's personality was the same as before, still that noisy type. It was hard to imagine that this girl would have anything to do with the word "serious matters".

Zi Yan looked at Su Qian unconvinced and started speaking.

"You doubt me? This is a very serious matter for me! I haven't gotten pregnant yet. Woohoo!!!"

As soon as she opened her mouth, Xiao Yan already felt something was wrong. Before Xiao Yan could stop him, Gu Qinghan took the lead in launching the Infinite Moment, covered Zi Yan's mouth tightly from behind, and then walked out with his arm around Zi Yan's waist, while saying to Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Yan, you guys should talk about business. We'll wait outside first."

After saying that, Gu Qinghan carried Zi Yan out of the office. Lei Jing and the others also turned around and left tactfully. Only two elders, Xiao Yan and Zhu Huo, were left in the room.

Su Qian stared at Xiao Yan in a daze. Although Gu Qinghan's reaction was very quick, Su Qian still heard some unexpected information.

"Xiao Yan, you and Zi Yan have already..."

Su Qian's eyes moved back and forth, and his meaning was self-evident. Xiao Yan did not hesitate at all and spoke frankly.

"Yes, Zi Yan is my wife now. I'm sorry I didn't have time to tell you."

"This..." Su Qian's mouth twitched, and after a moment he patted his head lightly, "Whatever, whatever, Zi Yan has been following you, so she could have guessed that this day would come."

"But if it's you, I'm quite relieved."

Su Qian smiled softly, and then invited Xiao Yan and the other two to sit down in front of the sofa. Su Qian and Hu Qian also sat opposite the sofa and made tea for the three of them. Then Su Qian glanced at Zhu Huo and Zhu Li and asked Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Yan, who are these two?"

Su Qian could naturally see that Xiao Yan's sudden return this time was obviously related to the two old men he brought with him.

"Elder Su Qian, these two are the elders of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, Elder Zhuhuo and Elder Zhuli."

Taixu Ancient Dragon? !
Su Qian was slightly stunned. Isn't that Zi Yan's race?

Xiao Yan turned sideways and introduced them to Zhu Huo and Zhu Li.

"Elder Zhuhuo, Elder Zhuli, this is the chief elder of the inner courtyard of Canaan College, Su Qian. Zi Yan was adopted by him by chance after she transformed into a human form. It can be said that he is equivalent to Zi Yan's adoptive father."

"Thank you, Elder Su Qian, for taking care of the Dragon Emperor. Please accept our greetings."

Zhuhuo and Zhuli stood up and bowed solemnly to Su Qian. Su Qian also quickly stood up and helped the two up.

"I am willing to adopt Zi Yan's child. There is no need to be so polite."

After persuading the two to sit down, Su Qian looked at Xiao Yan, vaguely guessing something in his heart, and asked softly.

"Xiao Yan, your sudden return this time must be related to the Taixu Ancient Dragon, right?"

To be honest, there is no need to guess. He suddenly brought back two Taixu Ancient Dragon elders, Zhu Huo and Zhu Li, back to Canaan College. What he wanted to say must be related to them.

Xiao Yan nodded slightly and began to explain.

"It's like this. The Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan suddenly received a signal sent by the Dragon Emperor thousands of years later, and the source of the signal was Canaan Academy."

Ok? ? ?
Su Qian and Hu Qian had the same idea in their minds and looked at each other, and then Xiao Yan continued.

"So this time I came here, hoping to get your permission to conduct a large-scale search in the academy to see if I can find any trace of the Dragon Emperor."

"Of course it's okay."

Su Qian immediately nodded in agreement, and then Xiao Yan paused and continued to ask.

"Elder Su Qian, do you remember when you adopted Zi Yan?"

"Hmm, let me think about it." Su Qianqing pinched his chin, thought for a moment and then answered, "About thirty years ago, I went to the back mountain of the academy to look for medicinal herbs, and happened to see Zi Yan, who was still a baby at the time, crawling in the grass. I couldn't find her parents around, so I brought her back. Later, the elders of the Alchemy Hall in the academy identified Zi Yan as a magical beast that happened to eat the transformation grass, but at that time I didn't know what kind of magical beast it was."

Hearing this, Zhuhuo and Zhuli felt their hearts tremble with fear.

If Su Qian had not gone to the back mountain at that time and had not happened to meet Zi Yan, Zi Yan might have really died there.

Although it is the Taixu ancient dragon, it is still in its juvenile stage and can be swallowed by any adult monster.

At this moment, they both suddenly realized that the reason why Zi Yan hated them was not entirely because of Xiao Yan's matter.

Xiao Yan was also very grateful in his heart, and then he frowned, concentrated on thinking, and murmured in a low voice.

"He was still a child more than 30 years ago." Xiao Yan turned to look at Zhu Huo and asked, "I remember Elder Zhu Huo, you said that the previous Dragon Emperor had been missing for thousands of years, right? Zi Yan's age doesn't match up, right?"

If Zhu Kun is really Zi Yan's father, then Zhu Kun has been missing near Canaan College for thousands of years, and Zi Yan should be over a thousand years old, unless Zi Yan was born within the past thirty years.

Zi Yan, who is over a thousand years old, still looks like a baby after eating the transformation grass? Is this reasonable?

And Candlelight shook his head slightly and began to explain.

"Executor Xiao, you don't know that the reason why the Taixu Ancient Dragon has so few people is not only because of the dragon-eating beasts in the past, but also because the Taixu Ancient Dragon's breeding cycle is quite long." Zhuhuo paused, and then said: "After the Taixu Ancient Dragon lays the dragon egg, even if it has been incubating it close to the body, it will take at least a few years, at most more than ten years or even decades to successfully hatch the child. If there is no one to incubate it, it is possible that it will take hundreds or thousands of years for the child to be born."

"What's more, Zi Yan's bloodline is the special bloodline of the Dragon King. The difficulty of hatching must be incomparable to that of ordinary Taixu Ancient Dragons. It is estimated that when Elder Su Qian met Zi Yan, it happened to be that Zi Yan had just hatched on her own not long ago."

As he spoke, Candlelight felt more and more grateful.

It can be said to be a miracle that the dragon eggs, which had been unattended for thousands of years, not only did not die, but were able to hatch on their own.

After hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded in understanding.

No wonder the Taixu Ancient Dragon is so rare. It would be strange if the hatching time was not rare.

Then Xiao Yan was suddenly stunned and his expression became strange.

If that's the case, then if Zi Yan also lays a dragon egg in the future, won't it also take this long to incubate? (End of this chapter)
