Chapter 145 The Great Elder's Summons

Hearing Xiao Xun'er's warning, Yaochen nodded slightly and solemnly promised:

"Little girl, you can rest assured that I am only planning for Xiao Ling's growth, and I only hope that he can stand out and make achievements in his cultivation as soon as possible."

"I will do my best to help Xiao Ling overcome many difficulties and obstacles and achieve extraordinary results. You must know that Xiao Ling is a child with extraordinary talents and unlimited potential. As long as he is guided properly, his future will be limitless."

"Besides, only Xiao Ling can grow up faster and be strong enough to collect the rare materials needed to refine a new body for me, thus helping me to resurrect as soon as possible."

"Although I am old, eighty or ninety years older than you, I am still relatively young among Dou Zun's level. I have not lived enough yet. I still hope to regain my life. The new generation may also be able to get a glimpse of the realm of a ninth-grade alchemist."

After saying this, Yao Chen's eyes showed determination and expectation.

Seeing Yao Chen's sincere words, Xiao Xun'er's expression finally softened and she said:

"I hope that senior will keep his word and Xun'er believes in senior's character. Senior is also highly respected in the mainland, so he will definitely not break his promise."

After Xiao Xun'er finished speaking, the golden flame in her hand slowly extinguished, the dazzling light gradually faded away, and the originally powerful and shocking aura around her body gradually converged like a tide until it returned to calm.

At this moment, Xiao Xun'er seemed to have changed from a high-ranking goddess back to a gentle and pleasant girl.

Seeing Xiao Xun'er's expression softening, Yao Chen also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't worry, girl, I will go all out and not slack off at all. I will use what I have learned to guide Xiao Ling forward." The direction will help him avoid many traps on the way to practice. I have gone through many hardships and know all the difficulties and obstacles in the way of practice, which will definitely prevent Xiao Ling from taking detours. "

Xiao Xun'er nodded slightly and said, "That's good. Senior Yaochen, brother Xiao Ling's future is entrusted to you. Although our ancient clan is powerful, we are also reasonable. If you sincerely help him, you will be rewarded in great ways in the future. I believe that with the ancient clan’s heritage, I will not treat you badly.”

Hearing Xiao Xun'er's promise, Yaochen stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Young lady's words are serious. Since I have agreed, I will spare no effort. Besides, even if there is no young lady like the eldest lady of the ancient tribe to rely on, I will definitely put all my efforts into it." I have learned everything I can from him, and I have no reservations about it. I have been with Xiao Ling for a long time, and I really love this child, so I should do my best.”

As for whether the ancient tribe would give him some good things, Yao Chen didn't think much about it now.

Yao Chen knew very well that the focus at the moment was to help Xiao Ling grow up, and everything else was an afterthought.

Although he and Xiao Ling were originally bound together because of their interest relationship, after more than half a year of getting along, their relationship has been greatly improved and is no longer limited to the previous interest level.

After confirming that Yao Chen followed Xiao Ling and had no other evil intentions, Xiao Xun'er also breathed a sigh of relief.

Yao Chen's ability and knowledge are crucial to Xiao Ling's growth. As long as Yao Chen is devoted to Xiao Ling's good, he can provide huge help before Xiao Ling grows up.

Without saying any more words, Xiao Xun'er bowed slightly to Yaochen, then turned around and walked out the door.

The light figure is like a floating cloud, graceful and unforgettable. The hem of the skirt flutters in the wind, seeming to carry endless mystery and charm.

Yao Chen looked at Xiao Xun'er's leaving figure and thought to himself:

"This eldest lady from the ancient tribe is truly sincere and caring towards Xiao Ling. I don't know how this young Xiao Ling can be so lucky to be treated by such a beautiful woman."

"But Xiao Ling does have something unique about him. He values ​​love and justice, and is perseverant and brave. Perhaps this is what attracts Xiao Xun'er."

Shaking his head, Yao Chen sighed softly: "That's all, why should I, an old man like me, bother to think about the love of young people? It's better to focus on cultivation, which is the right way."

After a moment's pause, Yao Chen stopped thinking. With a flash of his body, the illusory soul body, like a swift stream of light, accurately penetrated into the Bone Flame Ring on the side.

As the figure of one person and one soul disappeared, this spacious secret room fell into silence as if the mute button had been pressed. Only the slightly flickering candlelight seemed to be telling what had just happened.

…

After walking out of the secret room, Xiao Ling walked slowly along the quiet corridor with steady steps.

The walls on both sides of the corridor were inlaid with gems that emitted a soft light, reflecting Xiao Ling's angular profile.

Not long after, Xiao Ling returned to the Little Medical Fairy and others.

There was a sound of brisk footsteps, which attracted several women to look curiously, only to see Xiao Ling walking leisurely alone.

The figure walked out of the corridor, looking a little hazy in the interplay of light and shadow, adding a sense of mystery.

The little medical fairy looked behind Xiao Ling, but did not find Xiao Xun'er's figure, and couldn't help but feel curious.

Without much hesitation, he immediately cast an inquiring look at Xiao Ling:

"Xiao Ling, why are you alone? Where is Xun'er? Why didn't I see her with you?"

The little medical fairy's voice was clear and sweet, with a hint of inexplicable meaning.

Xiao Ling looked relaxed and responded unhurriedly: "Little Medical Fairy, Xun'er is dealing with some private matters and can't get through for the time being."

Xiao Ling's tone was very calm, as if this was a normal thing.

Although Qing Lin and Han Yue remained silent, their curious eyes were still focused on Xiao Ling, seemingly waiting for his further explanation.

Qing Lin's smart eyes flashed with doubts, while Han Yue frowned slightly, with curiosity in her expression.

Xiao Ling noticed everyone's gaze, couldn't help but smile, and said in a brisk tone: "Don't stare at me like that, it's really nothing special. I know you are curious, but these are just ordinary little things, Xun'er will handle it It will come back naturally.”

The little medical fairy curled her lips and muttered: "Hmph, I don't believe it, but if you don't want to say it, forget it."

Crossing his hands on his chest, the little medical fairy looked dissatisfied.

Xiao Ling shook her head helplessly and said with a smile: "It's not that I don't want to say it. There really is nothing to say. It's just some ordinary private matters. She will come back when she has taken care of them. Please stop guessing."

Because Xiao Xun'er's true identity is extremely special, it is not suitable to reveal her true identity in front of outsiders.

Because this is likely to cause a series of troubles and problems, Xiao Ling did not intend to tell anyone else about this matter after thinking about it briefly.

Xiao Ling was well aware of the stakes and did not want to cause unnecessary trouble to Xiao Xun'er due to a moment of negligence.

Moreover, if the Little Medical Fairy and others knew Xiao Xun'er's true identity, there would probably be some estrangement.

This kind of estrangement may make everyone become cautious when communicating, and they will no longer be as relaxed and comfortable as before, which is very detrimental to friendly communication between several people.

Xiao Ling hopes that the companions around him can maintain pure friendship without being affected by their identity and background.

It was also for this reason that Gu Yuan hid Xiao Xun'er's identity and secretly sent her to the Xiao family. Xiao Ling can also understand the profound meaning of this.

Xiao Xun'er also mentioned this matter to Xiao Ling yesterday. The plan to take away the Xiao Family Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade was not proposed by Gu Yuan, but by the elders of the ancient clan.

If Gu Yuan's purpose in sending Xiao Xun'er to the Xiao family was really to take away the Tuoshe ancient emperor jade belonging to the Xiao family, then when Gu Yuan personally brought Xiao Xun'er to the Xiao family, with his As long as a soul that has reached the imperial realm releases a trace of soul perception at will, it is impossible for any secret of the Xiao family to escape Gu Yuan's perception.

However, Gu Yuan should have discovered the piece of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, but did not take it himself. Perhaps there was a deeper consideration, or perhaps it was to create a reasonable explanation for Xiao Xun'er to stay outside the ancient clan for a long time.

Xiao Ling shook his head and dispelled the thoughts in his mind. Anyway, he did not intend to carry the Xiao Clan's Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade with him.

This jade has brought too many troubles, and it does not help him at all now. Xiao Ling does not want to get into endless disputes because of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade.

Seeing that Xiao Ling did not intend to tell the girls about Xiao Xun'er, although the girls still had some doubts in their hearts, they wisely did not continue to ask.

The Little Medical Fairy and others are all close to Xiao Ling and know Xiao Ling's character very well. Since Xiao Ling doesn't want to say it, it means that these things are not suitable for a few people to understand.

Seeing that the girls were still a little confused, Xiao Ling felt moved and quickly changed the subject and said, "Don't think about Xun'er for now. Let's talk about something else. Little Medical Fairy, are there any new developments in the poisons you have been researching recently?"

The little doctor wrinkled his nose and replied: "Don't mention it, we have encountered some bottlenecks. Some materials are too difficult to find. The "Shadow Death Poison" I wanted to refine before was because I still lacked a sixth-level snake-like monster. Venom cannot be configured yet.”

Xiao Ling smiled and said: "Don't be anxious, take your time. When Qinglin is strong enough, you can subdue a sixth-level monster, just in time to help you get a piece of snake venom. Senior Han Yue, what about you, I haven't seen you for a year. , I must have improved a lot in cultivation, right?”

Han Yue gently brushed her hair and replied: "It went well. Now I am a three-star fighting king, but sometimes I feel that the days of training are a bit boring."

After finishing her words, Han Yue glanced at Xiao Ling with an inexplicable expression, and the meaning was self-evident.

Sensing the look from her senior sister, Xiao Ling nodded vaguely.

Qing Lin blinked and interjected: "I think every day is quite interesting. I am very happy to be with the young master."

Xiao Ling touched Qinglin's head and said: "Haha, Qinglin has such a good attitude. By the way, I have been craving for that snack called 'Emerald Linglong Cake' recently. Qinglin, didn't you say you would try making it recently?" How’s the progress?”

After Xiao Ling finished speaking, the Little Medical Fairy interjected: "Qing Lin made a snack like that just now. It tasted quite good, but it was just because it was so delicious that we finished it. Xiao Ling, you, just Not so lucky."

After saying that, the little medical fairy winked mischievously, with an unfinished expression on her face.

Xiao Ling shrugged helplessly and said sadly, "You are so uninterested that you didn't even leave any for me."

Qing Lin smiled sheepishly at the side and said, "Master, I will make more next time, and I will make sure you eat enough."

After hearing this, the women covered their mouths and chuckled, and the atmosphere was very cheerful.

Just when everyone was laughing, a familiar figure slowly walked over, it was Xiao Xun'er.

Xiao Xun'er had a faint smile on her face, but her eyes fell on Xiao Ling first, full of tenderness.

"You are really happy here." Xiao Xun'er lightly opened her red lips and said.

When everyone saw Xiao Xun'er, the smiles on their faces froze slightly. Xiao Ling hurriedly said: "Xun'er, you came out so soon. Is the matter settled?"

Seeing Xiao Ling's inquiry, Xiao Xun'er nodded, "It's settled. Things went smoothly, just as Brother Xiao Ling said."

"I see, it's good that it was resolved smoothly." Xiao Ling breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the two people communicated harmoniously and there was no conflict.

Xiao Xun'er nodded slightly, glanced at everyone, and said, "I heard your laughter from a distance just now. I wonder what you are talking about so happily?"

The little medical fairy responded with a smile: "Miss Xun'er, we ate all the snacks made by Qinglin just now, but Xiao Ling didn't taste them."

Xiao Xun'er smiled softly: "So that's it. Qing Lin should do more next time."

…

While several people were chatting animatedly, there was suddenly a crisp and urgent knock on the door outside the courtyard.

Everyone was also attracted by the knock on the door and stopped talking. Xiao Ling immediately released a trace of soul perception to investigate. In an instant, they clearly knew that the person who came was a student from the inner courtyard of Canaan College.

Although some curiosity arose in Xiao Ling's heart, he still waved his hand casually without stopping, and the closed door slowly opened.

After the student hurriedly walked in, his face was full of respect, and he hurriedly bowed deeply to Xiao Ling. His voice was slightly nervous but still respectful and said: "Elder Xiao Ling, the student has taken the liberty to come and disturb me. I'm really sorry."

Xiao Ling raised her eyebrows slightly, with a bit of doubt in her expression, and asked calmly: "What exactly happened?"

The student did not hesitate at all and hurriedly replied respectfully: "Back to the elder, Elder Su Qian asked me to tell you that if you are free now, go to the office. The elder wants to discuss something with you. "

Xiao Ling thought for a moment and had an idea in his mind: "The elders must have prepared the medicinal materials and want me to help refine the elixir. This is good, not only can I practice the art of refining medicine, but also do something for the college." Some contributions. In this way, maybe Elder Su Qian won't stop him too much when he wants to swallow the fallen heart flame."
