Chapter 86: Lin Quan's Jealousy
Jia Nan City
In a courtyard of the Outer Academy, Xun'er and Xiao Yixian were sitting opposite each other.
"Xiao Yixian jiejie," Xun'er said, smiling at the beautiful and gentle face across from her, "I'm about to leave. I hope that while I'm gone, you can take good care of him."
"I will. After all, he and I are good friends!" Xiao Yixian replied calmly.
Xun'er raised an eyebrow and asked, "Really, just friends?" Before Xiao Yixian could respond, Xun'er continued, "I don't believe it. I know Brother Xiao Tian very well; he's a big flirt and has already charmed many beautiful girls."
Hearing Xun'er's words, Xiao Yixian's eyes showed some emotion.
"Sigh!" Seeing that Xiao Yixian didn't directly respond, Xun'er sighed and said, "Xiao Yixian jiejie, I'm really leaving. If you don't want more and more girls vying for Brother Xiao Tian's attention, you need to keep him in check."
Suddenly, a sound of breaking through the air came from the distance. Both Xun'er and Xiao Yixian looked up to see more than ten small black dots rapidly approaching.
In just a moment, those dots grew larger, transforming into over ten massive black beasts with silver horns on their heads and four wings on their backs. As they flapped their broad wings, a faint sound of wind and thunder echoed, emanating an extremely fierce aura.
On each of the four-winged unicorns' backs, there were several figures, all dressed in purple-black robes. Their faces were expressionless, and their eyes were as sharp as knives, exuding powerful auras.
"What is that?"
"Those are combat flying magical beasts, rarer than ordinary flying beasts. Who are they?"
"What a strong aura, there must be dozens of Dou Wang and Dou Huang among them!"
"Holy crap, which force do they belong to?"
"Are they here to start a war with Jia Nan Academy?"
As this group descended upon Jia Nan City, they immediately attracted the attention of many people. Most were shocked, shocked, and more shocked. Even the entire Black-Corner Region only had dozens of Dou Wang and Dou Huang.
However, the group did not engage Jia Nan Academy in battle but instead headed straight towards where Xun'er was.
Eventually, the gigantic four-winged unicorns stopped flapping their wings and hovered above the courtyard.
"They're here for you?" Xiao Yixian asked seriously, looking at the powerful figures who were not inferior to the academy's elders.
"Miss Xun'er, we've finally found you." At this moment, the leading four-winged unicorn landed, and the man at the forefront respectfully saluted Xun'er.
The man appeared to be in his early twenties, extremely handsome, with the purple-black robe adding a touch of maturity.
Lin Quan stood up and said respectfully, "I am Lin Quan, candidate for Deputy Commander of the Black Abyss Army. I was ordered by the clan leader to escort Miss Xun'er back to the clan."
"I said I'd return on my own. Why did you come to fetch me?" Xun'er replied coldly.
"We are just following orders from the clan leader," Lin Quan smiled. "Now, please come back with us, Miss Xun'er."
"I don't want to go back yet," Xun'er said.
"Miss Xun'er, please don't make things difficult for us," Lin Quan insisted, bowing again.
"Impudent!" The space distorted, and Ling Ying appeared beside Xun'er, reprimanding, "What status do you have to command Miss Xun'er?"
"Oh, it's Senior Ling," Lin Quan's eyes flashed with coldness. He kept smiling and said, "We would never dare command Miss Xun'er, but we are following the clan leader's orders. Do you dare defy the clan leader?"
"Hmph!" Ling Ying snorted, "Don't use the clan leader to pressure me. I serve the clan head; the clan leader's orders don't apply to me."
Suddenly, the sound of rushing wind echoed again. Two streaks of light quickly approached.
The lights landed, revealing Xiao Tian and Zi Yan. They had flown back directly to save time, without using the space gate.
To their surprise, the Ancient Clan had sent people to bring Xun'er back, nearly making them late, which made Xiao Tian feel guilty.
Xiao Tian stepped forward, wrapping his arms around Xun'er's slender waist, pulling her into a tight embrace. Burying his face in her fragrant hair, he whispered softly, "Xun'er, I'm here."
"Brother Xiao Tian!" Xun'er hugged him back, her face full of joy.
This scene made Lin Quan's face darken. From the moment he saw Xun'er, he had liked her. Marrying Xun'er would elevate him to a powerful position within the Ancient Clan. Seeing his goddess so close to another man ignited a jealous rage within him.
Lin Quan shouted, "You must be Xiao Tian of the Xiao Clan. Release Miss Xun'er immediately!"
Ignoring Lin Quan, Xiao Tian, with one arm around Xun'er, handed her a ring with the other hand, saying, "This contains all the pills I refined for you. They should last you until you reach the Dou Zong level. There's also a bottle of Earth Heart Body Tempering Milk to help cleanse your bones and enhance your physique."
"Thank you, Brother Xiao Tian!" Xun'er clutched the ring tightly, feeling unprecedented happiness.
"Release Miss Xun'er!" Lin Quan repeated, his eyes cold.
Hearing this, Xiao Tian frowned. Already irritated, he found Lin Quan's demands unbearable.
He looked at Lin Quan and said coldly, "A mere two-star Dou Huang dares bark orders at me."
"You're courting death!" Lin Quan roared, his aura bursting forth, filled with killing intent.
"Lin Quan!" Xun'er's face turned icy as she shouted.
But Xiao Tian held her back and said, "Xun'er, let me show you the results of my years of training."
As he spoke, a terrifying aura, even stronger than Lin Quan's, emanated from Xiao Tian.
"Six-star Dou Huang!"
Everyone present was shocked. No one had expected someone from a small family like the Xiao Clan to reach the six-star Dou Huang level at seventeen.
Especially Lin Quan, who now harbored intense killing intent. He had reached the two-star Dou Huang at twenty-one after undergoing the Ancient Clan's imperial altar baptism. Yet, Xiao Tian, a member of the fallen Xiao Clan, had surpassed him at seventeen without such advantages.
Such a person was undoubtedly a formidable rival for Xun'er's hand.
