he Void Ancient Palace.He thought for a moment, then said, "Instead of killing Jun Xiaoyao directly, why not use him Let him attract the attention of that ancient void whale, and we can take the oppor..."This person's strength is unfathomable..."

Chu Xiao's face was extremely grave.

Unforeseenly, on the way to Ji's Academy, I encountered such a remarkable person.

Chu Xiao asked himself, his current strength was absolutely no weaker than some of the prodigies from the Eight Great Emperor Clans.

But facing this young man with a refined temperament and unfathomable depth, he had no confidence whatsoever.

"Kind of interesting..."

The young man smiled slightly, seeming a little interested.

After all, throughout the entire Sea of Realms, there aren't many prodigies who could escape from beneath his fish-line.

Of course, the young man didn't have any murderous intent. He just wanted to test things out.

He thought this man seemed a little different.

Whoosh!

The elegant man cast his fishing rod again, the fishing line surging toward Chu Xiao once more.

Chu Xiao's expression changed slightly.

Never would I have thought that such a simple fishing rod could become so troublesome at this very moment.

Who exactly is this person

Chu Xiao didn't have time to think too much, so he could only use his own divine powers.

After his defeat at the hands of Jun Xiaoyao, he took time to reflect on his loss.

They all traveled from the Dantai Imperial Clan to the Jixia Academy, honing their cultivation and comprehending the ultimate techniques within that golden page.

In Chu Xiao's eyes, silver runes suddenly began to flow.

In his eyes, everything seemed to slow down.

Even the fishing line seemed to have slowed down tenfold.

This is also the ultimate skill Chu Xiao comprehended from within the gold foil, which he named the Stagnation's Eye.

Can slow down the speed of various divine techniques.

Of course, this doesn't mean Chu Xiao can now control the speed of time flow.

But his eyes, after cultivating the essence of the book's teachings, were able to slow down the speed of the outside world.

But in the eyes of that refined man, Chu Xiao's speed became extremely fast and agile in an instant.

"Interesting, very interesting."

The elegant man's eyes glistened with growing interest.

He vaguely sensed that Chu Xiao was extraordinary, with the potential to become someone remarkable.

Chu Xiao also launched a counterattack, directly summoning the Qingyang Divine Talisman.

"Oh, the aura of the world's origin, it turns out to be a child of the world as well." The refined man was surprised again.

Chu Xiao's surprises, it has to be said, were a bit much.

He too shook his sleeves, and a powerful, majestic, and awe-inspiring aura surged forth.

As soon as he felt this aura, Chu Xiao's eyes flashed, and he immediately understood.

"With the air of a great scholar, you are the pride of Jixia Academy!" Chu Xiao said.

He didn't expect to run into the prodigies of Jixia Academy here.

And such a profound and unfathomable figure, surely in the Jixia Academy, must have been extraordinary.

That elegant man, although he made a move against me, there was no killing intent in his moves. Instead, it seemed more like a friendly exchange of skill.

So Chu Xiao put his mind at ease and sparred with the cultured man.

In the blink of an eye, the two engaged in thousands of strikes.

The elegant gentleman was very surprised.

Chu Xiao was also very surprised.

As they chatted, the atmosphere between them grew increasingly warm and friendly.

To the end, it turned out they were sitting together discussing philosophy.

"I'm still unaware of your name, sir," the refined man smiled gently.

"I am Chu Xiao, and who are you" Chu Xiao asked in return.

"Oh, so you're Chu Xiao..." the elegant man said with understanding.

"Brother, do you know me" Chu Xiao said.

"I've heard a little about the longevity banquet of Da Sima Guzu." The refined man said.

Chu Xiao's face paled slightly upon hearing this.

He definitely didn't want to become famous that way.

The refined man didn't mind at all, and directly said: "My name is Han Ping'an."

"Han Ping'an..." Chu Xiao was taken aback.

He came from the Qingyang World and wasn't really familiar with the grandstanding of the geniuses from the Boundary Sea.

So hearing those three words, I didn't react too much.

"So it's Brother Han," Chu Xiao bowed slightly.

Seeing that Chu Xiao didn't react, Han Ping an smiled and didn't mind it.

I find this person increasingly interesting.

He seems to be from a humble background, but his cultivation level is no weaker than that of the imperial clan's prodigies.

He is certainly worth getting to know.

They looked at each other and both smiled.

It feels like we've met before.

Han Ping'an felt that Chu Xiao had a promising future, like a golden carp in the pond destined to become a dragon.

As for Chu Xiao, he felt that Han Ping'an was definitely not an ordinary person, but he was easygoing and didn't have the air of superiority that looked down on others.

Like Jun Xiaoyao, born noble and aloof, looking down on all living things as ants. Their temperament is worlds apart.

Like Han Ping'an, this kind and approachable prodigy, is someone worthy of his friendship.

They seemed to hit it off immediately.

And then, the two chatted animatedly.

Chu Xiao admires Han Ping'an greatly for his understanding of cultivation and his vast knowledge.

And Han Ping'an was also surprised, Chu Xiao looked very young, but his cultivation experience was not little.

This is naturally because Chu Xiao has actually been cultivating in the Qiankun Heaven and Earth for hundreds of years.

As a result, the two of them became even more agreeable in their conversation.

By the end, the conversation inevitably drifted towards Dàntái Gǔzǔ's birthday banquet.

As soon as this was mentioned, bloodshot eyes appeared in Chu Xiao's gaze.

That was his eternal shame.

"I observe that you, brothers of the Chu Xiao clan, are not the kind to be impulsive and reckless. What is the true reason for this" asked Han Ping'an.

Chu Xiao took a deep breath.

The deeper reason, of course, is the hatred between the Chu Imperial Clan and the Yun Imperial Clan.

But that, obviously, cannot be said.

Though he and Han Ping'an hit it off immediately, they couldn't possibly just reveal their true selves right away.

Therefore, Chu Xiao explained.

Once upon a time in the Qingyang World, their relationship with Dantai Qingxuan was so good.

Even destined to be his soulmate.

Later, the result was taken away by Jun Xiaoyao.

Jun Xiaoyao's identity, as the savior of Dantai Qingxuan.

became the domineering young master who stole his woman.

After listening to Chu Xiao's explanation, Han Ping'an frowned slightly.

"When I first heard the news, I thought that Young Master Yunxiao was a peerless dragon among men, with extraordinary skill."

"So it seems, she's nothing but a domineering wife and daughter, a tyrant who disregards propriety."

As a prodigy of the Jixia Academy, Han Ping'an naturally placed great importance on ethics and morality.

To covet another man's wife is, in Confucianism, clearly a most despicable and disgraceful act.

Chu Xiao didn't expect Han Ping'an to be so willing to stand up for him.

I couldn't help but feel a twinge of unease.

After all, Dantai Qingxuan had explained to him that Jun Xiaoyao was her savior.

"Brother Han, this is my own affair. Let me handle it myself. My woman, no one else can touch her." Chu Xiao said.

Hearing this, Han Ping'an couldn't help but show a hint of admiration in his eyes, and patted Chu Xiao on the shoulder.

"Brother Chu, rest assured, if anything happens at the Ji Xue Palace, you can come to me."

Even if Yunxiao's status is extraordinary, as long as he comes to the Jixia Academy, he won't be able to bully you.

"Thank you, Brother Han." Chu Xiao smiled faintly.

Then, the two exchanged more words.

Then Han Pingan left.

The assessment at Jixia Academy is a fixed rule, so he wouldn't directly get Chu Xiao through the assessment.

But Han Ping'an said, as long as he was there, Chu Xiao would be safe and sound studying at the Ji Xue Palace.

Watching Han Ping'an walk away.

Chu Xiao was deep in thought.

What exactly was Han Ping'an's identity at the Jixia Academy, that even Jun Xiaoyao, the young master of the Yun clan imperial family, would not fear him

"Well then, the path of righteousness leads to many helpers, while the path of unrighteousness leads to few. With Brother Han's help, I believe this trip to the Jixia Academy will surely be successful."

"When I've advanced my cultivation and found the rest of the gold foil, Yun Xiao, I will repay you double for the humiliation I have endured!"ring this, and tiny teardrops the size of soybeans kept streaming down her large eyes."Huh"Jun Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow, reaching out to wipe the tears from the little loli's face, examining her clos...
