Chapter 29: Careless on Purpose

"I haven't seen cousin Xiao Yu for a year. Is she already a three-star fighter?"

Xun'er, who was standing by, came over and asked with a smile.

"Xun'er, haha, I heard that you have already become a fighter. With such talent, I'm afraid you are not much different from Xiao Yan back then."

Xiao Yu nodded when he heard that, then smiled and praised.

"No way, Brother Xiao Yan is a fighter at the age of ten, and a five-star fighter at the age of twelve! Xun'er can't compare to Brother Xiao Yan!"

Xun'er shook her head and sighed when she heard this.

"That's true. Back then, Xiao Yan really amazed the entire family!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu seemed to have remembered Xiao Yan's terrifying cultivation speed back then, and a look of emotion appeared on her pretty face.

"However, your talent seems to be even more terrifying now. You have cultivated five levels of fighting spirit in one year. This level took you three years to reach before!"

Xiao Yu then looked at Xiao Yan and said in amazement.

"After all, I have practiced once, so it will be more smooth. I have also worked harder than before. After all, it has not been pleasant to be without fighting spirit for the past three years."

Xiao Yan smiled carefreely upon hearing this and said calmly.

"Yes, Not Bad!"

Xiao Yu was relieved when he heard that, but then he asked with a little concern: "By the way, I heard from Xiao Ning that Xiao Yuan is already a two-star fighter? What's going on? You three are close to each other on weekdays, so I'd like to ask you two, didn't he take some elixir or overdraw his potential?"

"Don't worry, cousin Xiao Yu. Uncle Xiao and the three elders have already checked it out. There is absolutely no problem."

Xun'er on the side smiled faintly and spoke.

Hearing Xun'er's words, Xiao Yu also breathed a sigh of relief and then asked:

"Okay, I haven't seen him for a year and I miss him a lot. Do you two know that he has left?"

Hearing that the topic was brought back again, Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er looked at each other tacitly and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Fortunately, after their delay, Xiao Yuan and Ya Fei had gradually drifted apart.

"Well, my third brother has been sent by my father to entertain the guests. Why don't you wait for a while, Sister Xiao Yu? We will be able to see him after the coming-of-age ceremony begins."

Xiao Yan thought quickly and spoke quickly.

Xiao Yu's face showed visibly disappointed when he heard this, but he soon regained his smile and said softly:

"Okay, then let's wait a while. By the way, in a few months, it will be the time for Canaan College to recruit students. You two must practice hard. I'll tell you in advance that my mentor will be in charge of the recruitment this time. When the time comes, it will all be up to you guys to make me proud!"

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows when he heard this. In fact, he didn’t really want to go to Canaan College.

After all, with Yao Lao's guidance, Canaan College is just that simple!
"The coming of age ceremony is about to begin!"

At this time, Xun'er suddenly spoke up to remind him.

After hearing this, Xiao Yu stopped talking and looked towards the stage with some anticipation. However, he did not see the young man he wanted to see.

Once everyone is seated, the coming-of-age ceremony officially begins.

The procedures for the coming-of-age ceremony are extremely complicated, to the point of being dizzying.

Sitting in the audience, Xiao Yan looked at his peers who were being manipulated like puppets. He couldn't help but rub his forehead and said to Xun'er beside him with a wry smile: "This coming of age ceremony is simply asking for trouble."

"This is the family rule. Just bear with it."

Xiao Yuan's laughter sounded from far away and got closer. Before Xiao Yan could say anything, he heard Xiao Yu beside him speak first.

"Xiao Yuan, did you miss me?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan reluctantly sat down on an empty seat beside him, and then said helplessly: "If I remember correctly, Canaan College should not have a normal holiday at this time. Is it really okay for you to take leave and come back?"

Xiao Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this: "You know all this? Why do you care about me so much?"

Xiao Yuan was silent.

He now regretted coming over to sit here.

Come to think of it, I don’t know why, but Xiao Yu has liked him since she was a child.

At the beginning, maybe it was just because he looked good, and Xiao Yuan was much more mature and stable than his peers.

But
Four years ago, Xiao Yan's talent began to decline. After Xiao Yuan entered the market town and became famous, Xiao Yu's enthusiasm for Xiao Yuan became stronger.

She was very kind to Xiao Yan during his downfall, and she often spoke up for him. "As a cousin, it's normal for me to care about my cousin."

Xiao Yuan sighed with a headache.

"Hehe, keep talking tough. I've watched you grow up. Don't I know what you're thinking?"

Xiao Yu snorted with some complacency when he heard this, and said with a soft laugh.

"Is it possible that there is only a one-year age difference between us, so we should be considered to have grown up together?"

Xiao Yuan then sighed helplessly.

Although it was indeed a lot quieter when Xiao Yu was not at home, Xiao Yuan still felt a little uncomfortable. After all, since childhood, Xiao Yu always liked to talk to him and play with him.

"Right, childhood sweethearts!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu nodded quickly.

"."

Xiao Yuan was silent again.

After a moment, he couldn't help but ask, "What the hell did you learn at Canaan College?"

Although Xiao Yu had been very close to him in the past, she had never said such affectionate words so directly to him.

Xiao Yan and Xun'er on the side also had tense faces and smiles in their eyes.

After not seeing her for a year, Sister Xiao Yu is really impressive.

"Hehe, who said I didn't study hard? Look, I got three stars!"

Xiao Yu puffed out her plump chest as she spoke.

When Xiao Yuan heard this, his eyes were unconsciously drawn to her. He saw three gold stars painted on the chest of her puffed-up lavender school uniform.

"How's it going? Isn't it awesome?"

As Xiao Yu spoke, his chest rose and fell slightly.

"It's really awesome."

Xiao Yuan withdrew his gaze and nodded seriously.

"It seems that Sister Xiao Yu has gained a lot from Canaan College."

Hearing Xiao Yuan's praise, a bright smile appeared on Xiao Yu's pretty face.

Looking at the smile on Xiao Yu's face, Xiao Yuan was also slightly distracted.

Putting aside the almost nonexistent blood relationship, he and Xiao Yu could really be considered childhood sweethearts.

"By the way, I heard that you are a two-star. Hehe, I knew you could do it. Come on, let me see what the attribute of your fighting spirit is."

Afterwards, Xiao Yu finally remembered the "important thing" and grabbed Xiao Yuan's hand very intimately and began to probe.

Xiao Yuan smiled upon seeing this and started to circulate the fighting spirit in his body.

"Ice attribute?"

Feeling the pure fighting spirit in Xiao Yuan's body, Xiao Yu was certain in her heart, and immediately picked up the teacup and said with joy: "Quick, help me cool the tea."

Xiao Yuan didn't say anything after hearing this, but he still circulated his Dou Qi in his hands. Then he lightly tapped the teacup with his fingertips, freezing the tea in it into ice.

"Xiao Yuan! You did this on purpose!"

Xiao Yu looked at the ice in the teacup, raised her eyebrows, pretended to be displeased, and lightly hit Xiao Yuan with her pink fist.

"No, I was being careless on purpose!"

Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.

"Humph!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu glared at Xiao Yuan with her beautiful eyes and glared at him fiercely. Then she stuffed the ice cubes in the teacup into her mouth and started chewing them with a crunching sound.

You know what, it’s really cool.
