Wutan City.
Xiao Family.
At this time, because the Jia Lie Family and Oba Family were gone, only the Xiao Family remained in Wutan City.
Therefore, in a short time, the Xiao Family rapidly developed into the largest Family in the small area of Wutan City.
At this moment, whether it was the market under the Xiao Family's name or the Family hall.
Every day was bustling with people coming and going... Looking at the rather magnificent house in front of her, Xiao Yi Xian softly asked:
"Mr. Xiao Yi, is this the Family you came from?"
After all, Xiao Yi Xian lived in Qingshan Town all year round, and naturally, Qingshan Town's facilities were inferior to Wutan City's.
Therefore, in the eyes of Xiao Yi Xian, the Xiao Family could indeed be considered a large Family.
Xiao Yi nodded: "That's right!"
"The Xiao Family of Wutan City!"
"Relax a bit, there's no need to be so reserved. You are my friend; you can treat this place as your own home..."
"Also, just call me Xiao Yi from now on. Calling me 'Mr.' sounds a bit distant..."
Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian slightly pursed her lips, smiled, and nodded.
"Alright, Xiao Yi..."
Immediately, Xiao Yi led Xiao Yi Xian slowly into the Xiao Family.
As soon as Xiao Yi entered the door, he noticed that there seemed to be an unusual number of people in the Xiao Family main hall today.
And Xiao Yan was also among the crowd, looking around for something.
The moment Xiao Yi stepped into the hall, Xiao Yan instantly sensed Xiao Yi's presence.
He abruptly turned his head and indeed saw Xiao Yi.
"Brother Yi! You're finally back!"
Xiao Yan, looking excited, quickly came to Xiao Yi's side, unable to hide his agitation in his words.
Xiao Yi also had a smile on his face, gently patting Xiao Yan's shoulder and saying: "Good job, kid! Not bad!"
"In such a short time, you went from the Eighth Stage of Dou Qi to a Dou Practitioner!"
"This speed is almost catching up to mine!"
Sensing the much stronger aura inside Xiao Yan, which belonged exclusively to a Dou Practitioner, Xiao Yi was genuinely happy for him.
After all, although the two were not blood brothers, they were closer than blood brothers.
Xiao Yan smiled knowingly, then noticed Xiao Yi Xian following behind Xiao Yi, and softly asked:
"Brother Yi, who is this?"
Xiao Yi stepped back one pace and spoke in a deep voice:
"Xiao Yi Xian, a new friend I made..."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded and smiled slightly: "I am Xiao Yan, please guide me."
Xiao Yi Xian also bowed slightly with great respect, showing friendliness.
After Xiao Yi nodded, he looked at the onlookers and asked in a deep voice:
"Little Yanzi, does the Family have important guests today?"
Xiao Yan nodded and said softly: "Yes... Jia Nan Academy is recruiting students at the Xiao Family today..."
Hearing this, Xiao Yi also nodded and walked forward.
It seemed the date he had calculated was correct; Jia Nan Academy was recruiting at the Xiao Family these few days.
No wonder the Xiao Family gathered so many people from Wutan City today; every single one wanted to use connections to push their children into Jia Nan Academy.
After all, in their understanding, if their children could successfully enter Jia Nan Academy, it would strictly count as successfully changing their fate.
Unfortunately, Jia Nan Academy does not rely on connections; only talent allows entry.
"What, you didn't go sign up?"
Xiao Yi slightly tilted his head to look at Xiao Yan, joking with a smile.
Xiao Yan also shook his head: "This academy, I think it has too many rules. I'm not very interested..."
Xiao Yi smiled slightly: "You might not be interested, but I am..."
"Come on, go take a look with me..."
Immediately, Xiao Yi led Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi Xian into the crowd.
He looked toward the Xiao Family hall.
He saw that inside the hall, Xiao Zhan and the three Elders were still in their familiar seats, while a mature woman with long hair draped over her shoulders was seated on the honored guest seat.
"That is the Instructor sent by Jia Nan Academy for this recruitment..."
"Her name seems to be Ruo Lin, a Five-Star Great Dou Shi level expert!"
Xiao Yan pointed at Ruo Lin and introduced her to Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi nodded, and immediately his gaze locked onto Instructor Ruo Lin.
"Five-Star Great Dou Shi..."
Xiao Yi murmured.
In his heart, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
For Jia Nan Academy, established by the formidable Half-Saint Mang Tian Chi, a mere Five-Star Great Dou Shi could serve as an Instructor.
Isn't this Mang Tian Chi completely acting like a hands-off boss?
Inside the hall at this moment.
Xiao Yu was standing respectfully beside Ruo Lin, speaking with a face full of smiles:
"Instructor Ruo Lin, could there be a spot for my younger brother among the new student list this time..."
"He has already reached the Eighth Stage of Dou Qi at a young age. If he can enter Jia Nan Academy, I believe advancing to Dou Practitioner will be just around the corner!"
Hearing this, Ruo Lin also smiled slightly: "Yu'er, I didn't expect you to have a younger brother with such talent..."
"Why don't you quickly call him out to meet me..."
As Ruo Lin finished speaking, Xiao Ning was seen slowly walking out, leaning on a cane: "Junior Xiao Ning greets Instructor Ruo Lin!"
The moment Xiao Ning spoke, the smile on Ruo Lin's face instantly froze.
Good heavens, does she call this young? When Xiao Yu spoke just now, Ruo Lin had thought her brother was only thirteen or fourteen, but looking at Xiao Ning now, he must be nearly twenty!
To still be only the Eighth Stage of Dou Qi at twenty, this kind of talent is truly lacking!
"Yu'er, it's one thing that your brother is only at the Eighth Stage of Dou Qi at this age, but his body also seems incomplete..."
Ruo Lin was mindful of Xiao Yu's feelings, so she spoke extremely tactfully.
With this talent, and still having a limp, it was impossible to enter Jia Nan Academy.
Because Jia Nan Academy is not a charity relief station where just anyone can enter.
Xiao Yu also understood the implied meaning of Instructor Ruo Lin's words, showing a difficult expression: "Instructor Ruo Lin, could we..."
Before Xiao Yu could finish speaking, Ruo Lin shook her head and directly refused.
Seeing this scene, the Grand Elder could only sigh helplessly.
Immediately, Ruo Lin looked up at Xiao Zhan and said:
"Clan Chief Xiao, I wonder if there are any other exceptionally talented individuals among the younger generation of the Xiao Family..."
"Since the two of us are quite familiar, there's no need to hide anything..."
Hearing this, Xiao Zhan laughed heartily:
"The Xiao Family certainly has no shortage of talented individuals!"
As Xiao Zhan finished speaking, Xiao Xun'er instantly understood and slowly stepped forward.
"Junior Xiao Xun'er greets Instructor Ruo Lin!"
The moment Xiao Xun'er appeared, Ruo Lin instantly couldn't sit still and immediately stood up: "Six-Star Dou Zhe!"
"A Six-Star Dou Zhe at such a young age!"
"Jia Nan Academy wants this Girl!"
Ruo Lin's face was full of smiles, and her eyes never left Xun'er.
Ruo Lin instantly felt that this trip was worthwhile; she had hit the jackpot! To encounter someone with such outstanding talent.
Xiao Zhan was not surprised by Ruo Lin's reaction.
Immediately, Xiao Zhan slowly stood up, looked at Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi in the crowd, and said in a deep voice:
"Yier, since you're back, come out and meet the guest..."
Hearing this, Xiao Yi also walked out of the crowd very calmly.
"Junior Xiao Yi greets Instructor Ruo Lin..."
Originally, Ruo Lin's gaze was still fixed on Xun'er, but when she sensed the extremely solid and powerful aura within Xiao Yi's body.
She abruptly turned around and took a step in front of Xiao Yi:
"Dou Master!"
