115: A small misunderstanding shocked the Canaan Academy instructor

Chapter 115: A Small Misunderstanding, Canaan Academy Mentor Shocked

In the distance, nestled between two majestic mountains, a small, hazy town stood.

On the road leading to the town, carriages came and went in an endless stream.

Most of the carriages carried adults and children, and the adults repeatedly told their children about the things to pay attention to when joining Canaan Academy.

Whoosh!

Just then, a hurried whooshing sound drifted from overhead.

The carriages stopped one after another, and the people inside looked up, their gazes following an arrow that left a trailing mark in the air, until they saw a figure.

"An outsider?"

"Within a hundred li radius of Canaan Academy, forced flying is prohibited. Haven't they heard of this?"

"It seems like it's been many years since we've encountered something like this."

The passersby watched the scene, conversing in low voices, their eyes flickering with curiosity.

The arrow did not hit the opponent; after a simple dodge, the figure landed on the ground.

"So young…" A female parent's gaze swept over, and she froze.

This young man appeared to be under eighteen, with lingering childishness on his face, dressed in a black robe, and carrying a strange-shaped, ruler-like weapon on his back.

Many people showed the same expression as the woman before.

Dou Qi Wings are the symbol of at least a Dou King.

How could such a young person come to Canaan Academy?

In Peace Town, figures flickered, and many people dressed in Canaan Academy uniforms rushed out quickly.

Leading them was a middle-aged man with a square face, his expression serious and solemn.

Behind him, more than a dozen students followed closely.

These were all members of Canaan Academy's enforcement team, and they held considerable prestige in Peace Town.

Therefore, when the people on the road saw them, they all voluntarily moved to the sides, clearing a wide path.

"Stop." The middle-aged man looked at the young man walking towards Peace Town. "Who are you, and what brings you to Peace Town?"

As he spoke, the man's face showed a strong sense of vigilance, and the team members had basically gripped their weapons, their Dou Qi activated, ready to enter combat at any moment.

"Is there some misunderstanding?" Xiao Yan looked at this group of people with drawn swords and bows, completely bewildered.

A student shouted, "Within a hundred li radius of Canaan Academy, flying is prohibited! Don't you know that?"

Xiao Yan nodded in surprise, "This is my first time here. I was in a hurry and flew all the way, so I haven't had a chance to learn about these rules."

So it was a misunderstanding… The middle-aged man breathed a slight sigh of relief. He could tell that the young man in front of him did not seem to be lying.

"Put your weapons away first." The middle-aged man instructed the enforcement team members.

Then, he smiled and asked, "Young man, why are you in such a hurry to come to Canaan Academy?"

"To enroll," Xiao Yan said without thinking.

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of exclamations rang out around him, and many people's eyes showed surprise.

A Dou King expert wants to enroll in Canaan Academy? Is he joking? Did I mishear?

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, his smile receding, replaced by a serious expression: "I am asking you a question very seriously."

Xiao Yan nodded, "I know, so I'm answering you very seriously. I really am here to enroll."

The middle-aged man glared, then turned and walked towards Peace Town.

What does he mean? Xiao Yan was taken aback, then lifted his foot to follow, but was stopped by a student.

The student looked at Xiao Yan: "Sorry, with your strength, you no longer meet our Canaan Academy's enrollment standards. Please go back."

To be able to manifest Dou Qi Wings at such a young age, such a person would be considered exceptionally talented even in the Inner Courtyard of Canaan Academy.

Logically, Canaan Academy would not turn away such a gifted individual.

However, the young man in front of them clearly did not have good intentions.

The middle-aged man did not believe that someone who could already graduate would suddenly come to enroll with good intentions.

Hearing the other party's words, Xiao Yan reacted and gave a wry smile: "You've misunderstood. I'm not here for enrollment. I'm already a student of this academy; I just took a leave of absence and haven't reported in yet."

"You say you're a student of this academy?" The middle-aged man, who had walked a few meters, turned around, a hint of suspicion in his eyes. "What's your name?"

Xiao Yan grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "Xiao Yan of Wutan City."

Hmm? That name sounds a bit familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before. The middle-aged man frowned, lost in thought.

After a while, he asked hesitantly, "Your mentor is…"

"Mentor Ruo Lin." Before he could finish, Xiao Yan interjected.

"Could you be that Xiao Yan who took a two-year leave of absence?" Almost as soon as Xiao Yan's words fell, a student exclaimed.

The student's outburst startled everyone around, then everyone's faces showed a look of realization, and their gazes towards Xiao Yan became a bit strange.

They had heard this name, not only because of Xiao Yan's exceptionally long leave of absence.

There was also a main reason: in the Outer Courtyard of Canaan Academy, there was a girl named Xiao Xun'er.

It was said that this girl, despite having the strength to enter the Inner Courtyard, refused the assessment arranged by her mentor every year.

This work is organized and uploaded by ~~

And when faced with others' overtures, Xiao Xun'er always treated them with cold indifference, never showing a pleasant expression.

Of course, this excluded a fellow named Soul Cang.

Everyone had always been curious about what kind of person, how astonishing, this Brother Xiao Yan was, whom Xiao Xun'er mentioned incessantly every day.

The middle-aged man also recalled and waved his hand: "You and us should go to the office to check the archives first."

Xiao Yan nodded, followed their steps, and entered Peace Town.

After the two parties left, the center of the road suddenly seemed a bit empty.

After a few seconds of silence, the scene exploded like a boiling pot, with boisterous shouts.

"Holy cow, that guy just now really was a student of Canaan Academy?"

"Two years of leave, does that mean he took two years to cultivate to Dou King?"

"Don't be so sure, he might even be a Dou Emperor. The aura on him just now was more terrifying than any Dou King I've seen in the Black-Corner Region."

"Get out of here! A Dou Emperor so young? You think he has cheats, right?"

A group of people verbally attacked the person who made the Dou Emperor guess.

Didn't they see the children present? It was already ridiculous enough for a Dou King who was only two years older than them to appear; if you say he might be a Dou Emperor, the children's mental state might just collapse.

...

In the spacious room, the middle-aged man took out a scroll of archives from the shelf, flipped through it by date, and quickly found the desired content.

The middle-aged man's finger pressed on the image, comparing it with Xiao Yan, and found that apart from the portrait being a bit more youthful, there was almost no difference between them.

It seems to be true… Closing the archives, the middle-aged man revealed a warm smile and patted Xiao Yan's arm: "Little fellow, you're not simple! Two years ago you were only a Dou Practitioner, and now you've actually cultivated to Dou King. Excellent, excellent."

Xiao Yan raised his hand and scratched his head, chuckling, "Teacher, I am now a Two-Star Dou Emperor, not a Dou King."

What? The middle-aged man's smile froze, his mouth slowly widened, as if it could swallow a fist.

After a long while, he said in disbelief, "Two, Two-Star Dou Emperor? Are you sure?"

"Yes." Xiao Yan nodded. He had already broken through to Dou Emperor before, and during his journey this time, he had digested some energy, smoothly breaking through to Two-Star.

The middle-aged man was so struck that he couldn't speak, feeling as if he had lived his entire life in vain.

He walked to the door and called a student to arrange a griffon to send Xiao Yan to the Outer Courtyard of Canaan Academy.

Xiao Yan politely thanked him and left the archive room.

With his back to the door, Xiao Yan did not see the middle-aged man regretfully slapping his own mouth.

Stepping onto the griffon, a hint of excitement flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes: "Xun'er, I'm here."
