A Youngster Seems to Be Courting Death

While comprehending the cultivation technique that had appeared in his mind, Xiao Chong also flew through the air, holding Zi Yan in his arms.

Soon, with Su Qian maintaining a high-speed flight as well, Xiao Chong and the other two quickly arrived above the outer courtyard of the Jia Nan Academy.

Subsequently, the group descended from the sky. The patrolling students who witnessed this scene immediately clasped their fists in welcome.

"Greetings, Elder Su Qian!"

"Hmm, continue with your patrol. No need to pay attention to me."

Although Su Qian had only become the Grand Elder a few years ago, it seemed his reputation among the students was already quite high.

However, after reporting to Su Qian, the students couldn't help but glance at Xiao Chong standing beside him, their hearts filled with astonishment.

When Xiao Chong descended from the sky, he had done so by stepping on the air itself.

Such a feat could only be accomplished by a powerhouse at the Dou Zong level.

Moreover, Xiao Chong appeared even younger than the average age of the patrolling students, who were around eighteen or nineteen.

But it couldn't be right! He must have taken some kind of Face-Preserving Pill or Youth-Preserving Pill to maintain such a youthful and handsome appearance.

The Jia Nan Academy was already a gathering place for all sorts of extraordinary talents, but none were as monstrous as this! If this person truly appeared to be their age, it would be utterly terrifying.

Nevertheless, many young female students couldn't help but gaze at Xiao Chong with sparkling eyes.

So what if he was older? He was handsome and incredibly strong now! Ignoring the surrounding students' attention, Su Qian first clasped his fists towards Xiao Chong.

"Mr. Xiao Chong, I must trouble you to lead Zi Yan and wait in the outer courtyard for a while."

"For a powerhouse like you to enter the inner courtyard, we need to inform them first to avoid creating excessive panic."

"Please don't take offense, sir. This is a long-standing rule of our Jia Nan Academy."

"I hope you can understand," Su Qian added with a smile.

Feeling the youthful energy around him, Xiao Chong lightly smiled.

These students seemed to think that Xiao Chong was some kind of master who had used face-changing techniques, but they would never guess that his actual age was even younger than theirs.

As for Su Qian words, Xiao Chong waved his hand indifferently. After all, time was the one thing he had in abundance.

Seeing Xiao Chong nonchalant attitude, Su Qian breathed a sigh of relief and immediately flew off to relay the news of Xiao Chong arrival to the inner courtyard.

After all, this was a Dou Zun! With the academy dean currently absent, they might even need to hold a meeting to decide how to handle Xiao Chong presence.

As for Xiao Chong, he had nothing to worry about. He simply held little Zi Yan hand and strolled leisurely through the outer courtyard of the Jia Nan Academy.

When they passed by a restaurant, the aroma of food wafting out made Zi Yan drool. She tugged at Xiao Chong hand and said, "Brother Xiao Chong, let's eat here. Zi Yan is hungry."

"Alright, let's go then."

Xiao Chong also patted little Zi Yan's head and then took her out for a meal.

The people in the restaurant were quite perceptive. Seeing that Xiao Chong wasn't wearing the Jia nan Academy uniform, and they knew he was an outsider. And since outsiders who could freely roam around Jia nan Academy were undoubtedly special individuals, they wisely decided to offer Xiao Chong and Zi Yan a complimentary meal.

This level of perceptiveness came from the fact that the restaurant staff had been in Jia nan Academy for several years and naturally knew the rules. Those who didn't know these rules were likely just new students.

After all, it was just a little loli and Xiao Chong—how much could they possibly eat? But soon... they regretted it.

Xiao Chong was one thing, but this purple-haired loli was practically inhuman!

Why could she eat so much?! The faint sound of the merchant lament couldn't be heard, and Xiao Chong couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly and harmoniously.

"Hey, whose little glutton is this? If you're looking for someone to eat with, why not choose someone like me instead of this pretty boy?"

"Wouldn't I be a better choice?"

Just as Xiao Chong was accompanying Zi Yan for a meal in the outer courtyard of Jia nan Academy, a rather arrogant voice rang out.

It seemed that despite being a loli, Zi Yan exceptionally striking beauty and charm had already attracted unwanted attention.

Xiao Chong and Zi Yan turned to see a white-robed man with his nose practically in the air, surrounded by a group of people, standing behind them with an arrogant demeanor.

At the same time, he kept casting interested glances at Zi Yan.

As for this disruptive voice, Zi Yan little face immediately scrunched up in anger as she shouted,

"Who are you people? Why are you disturbing my meal for no reason?"

"Do you believe I wont beat you up?"

Hearing this, the students who had gathered behind couldn't help but laugh.

The white-robed man in the middle of the group even let out a somewhat lecherous smile.

One of his lackeys proudly introduced, "Who do you think you are! This is the young master of the Bai family, Bai Cheng!"

"Having the honor to dine with him is a privilege."

Hearing this guy actually reveal his name, Xiao Chong nodded thoughtfully.

Bai Cheng of the Bai family? Xiao Chong vaguely remembered this person from the original story.

Hmm, he was quite a detestable character in the original too.

So, Xiao Chong turned and asked, "Bai Cheng, right? Do you have a younger brother named Bai Shan?"

Bai Cheng arrogantly raised his head and said, "That's right! Since you know of our Bai family, why don't you scram now!"

At this moment, Bai Cheng displayed the typical behavior of someone spoiled by his family—arrogant and hot-headed.

He even continued to gaze at Zi Yan with a lustful look.

"Young man, isn't life good enough for you? Why come looking for trouble?" Xiao Chong said.

As Zi Yan looked at the arrogant fool in front of her, her small fist was already clenched tightly. If Xiao Chong gave the signal, she wouldn't hesitate to throw a punch.

"How dare you interrupt my meal with Brother Xiao Chong! Are you courting death?"

However, since Xiao Chong hadn't spoken yet, Zi Yan, being new here, knew she should hold back for now. Without Xiao Chong word, she temporarily refrained from taking action.
