Battle Through The Heavens Season 5
Ch. 32 - Confusing

"It was really unexpected that Yun Shan of the Misty Cloud Sect was actually still alive .. it completely exceeded my expectations." Xun Er's expression changed following the faint words from Xiao Yan's mouth. A while later, his brows were slightly vertical and a cold glint flashed across his autumn watery eyes as he softly said.

It's quite troublesome indeed. Xiao Yan also sighed softly. If not for the existence of Yun Shan, the Misty Cloud Sect would not have been able to chase him until he had to flee all the way from the Jia Ma Empire.

The corner of Xiao Yan's eyes glanced at the dark and black corner of the wall, where one could turn, behind him. He heard the soft sound of footsteps, which slowly went from the place. That was when he turned to look at Xun Er. His expression was solemn as he said, "Xun Er, there's something I want you to tell me honestly, because it's very important!"

"Oh?" Xun Er was shocked when she heard this. When he saw Xiao Yan's serious face, he immediately nodded and said, "As long as Xun Er knows, Xun Er will naturally not hide anything that Xiao Yan ge-ge wants to know."

"After the first time I managed to leave the Misty Cloud Sect, I was worried that the Misty Cloud Sect would implicate the Xiao clan because of their anger. Actually it is. When I returned to Wu Tan City, the Xiao clan had received revenge from the First Elder of the Misty Cloud Sect." Xiao Yan's voice was slightly dark and cold.

Xun Er's expression immediately changed upon hearing Xiao Yan's words. His eyebrows were almost vertical and his pupils contained a hint of anger, "Isn't this Misty Cloud Sect a little too bold? Did the clan suffer a serious blow? "

"There are some disadvantages but not too serious. However, the father was expelled from Wu Tan City by the three elders of the Misty Cloud Sect. From that day on, he's gone." Xiao Yan's voice might sound very calm but his hand, among Xun Er, trembled slightly and still revealed anger in his heart.

"Lost?" Xun Er was initially surprised. Immediately after this, his face also darkened and became solemn for the first time. He clearly understood Xiao Zhan's position in Xiao Yan's heart. Therefore, he also suddenly realized why Xiao Yan had actually once again taken the risk to head to the Misty Cloud Sect after successfully leaving him.

"I think Uncle Xiao Zhan should have landed in the hands of the Misty Cloud Sect, right?" Xun Er voiced her thoughts.

"No." Xiao Yan's gaze stared directly at Xun Er. He shook his head and said softly, "The First Elder of the Misty Cloud Sect, who is chasing after Father, has been killed by me. Before dying, he said that while he was chasing Dad, Dad suddenly disappeared strangely."

"Wither away?"

"That's fine. He disappeared under the eyes of the First Elder of the Misty Cloud Sect who was chasing after him ..." Xiao Yan's eyes were focused on Xun Er's face as he slowly said, "I don't think Father might have disappeared himself. Instead ... he was captured by a mysterious strong man! "

"The mysterious strong man?" Xun Er's willow brows deepened as she heard this. He raised his head to stare at Xiao Yan as he said, "What does Xiao Yan ge-ge want to ask Xun Er?"

"Xun Er, I know you are not someone from the Xiao clan and your background is also very strong. I don't know exactly what kind of relationship the power behind you has with the Xiao clan, but I have my own source of information. Therefore, I think Father's disappearance may be related to the faction behind you. I trust you. This has nothing to do with you. However, I need to find proof that my father is safe. Otherwise, I would have trouble eating and sleeping soundly." Xiao Yan held Xun Er's hand as he said in a deep voice.

Xiao Yan's words caused Xun Er's face to change slightly. A moment later, he shook his head and said very calmly: "That's not the case. That's definitely not them. They and the Xiao clan had certain provisions. Therefore, they would definitely not do anything brazen, such as forcibly arresting someone! The binding force of this kind of provision is not as simple as you might imagine. Therefore, even if there was someone among them who did this, he would face heavy opposition. Moreover ... Since that person was able to capture Uncle Xiao Zhan in front of Dou Wang without letting anyone know of it, that person's strength should at least be a Dou Huang class. During this period of time, I have not received any news about this."

"no? With the exception of myself, no one in the Xiao clan has found a strong person of the Dou Huang class. What good is another strong person who mysteriously captured my father? Only the faction behind you that has ties to the Xiao clan is aware of me. At the same time, they also possessed this kind of strength!" With a guess in his overthrown heart, the hand that Xiao Yan used to hold Xun Er's hand suddenly tightened. There was additional anger in his voice.

"Xiao Yan ge-ge, Xun Er really did not lie to you. The faction behind me does indeed have a relationship with the Xiao clan. Right now, I can't tell you some details and reasons. If I tell you, it will harm you. However, regarding the matter of Uncle Xiao Zhan, Xun Er assured you that it must not be done by them!" Xun Er's originally calm expression immediately shattered as she looked at Xiao Yan's face, which contained a hint of anger. He could not help but speak in a sad manner.

Looking at Xun Er's face, which contained some grievances, Xiao Yan also gradually recovered his clear mind. His hand gently scratched his head and exhaled deeply as he muttered, "It seems like there are some secrets within the Xiao clan that I am not aware of. Alright, since you won't say anything, I won't force you. If it really is as you say, and this is not done by the faction behind you, I am afraid that the Misty Cloud Sect will remain the biggest suspect … The sect didn't seem to be as simple as everyone thought."

"Well, you can go back and rest first. There's still a Qualifying Competition tomorrow. Put aside for a while the matter about dad. Although I am not sure about his current condition, at least his life is not in danger. Ah, I must immediately increase my strength. Otherwise, even if I manage to find traces of my father in the future, I'm afraid I won't have the strength to pick them up either." Xiao Yan turned his head towards Xun Er. He patted her on the head, smiled, and spoke in a comforting manner.

"Are you going to hurt me?" Xiao Yan smiled, rubbed Xun Er's head and asked.

Xun Er was a little surprised. A smile appeared on her pretty face as she shook her head and whispered, "I won't."

"Because of that, I trust you. It's late, rest." Xiao Yan extended his hand and hugged the gentle, seemingly boneless, and beautiful figure for a moment. He immediately let go, waved his hand at her, and finally turned around before walking into his room.

"Ah." Xun Er nodded her head slightly as she stared at the back of Xiao Yan, who had disappeared in the door frame. He pondered for a moment before turning around, and quickly walked back to his room. Turning his hand, he closed the room door and flicked his finger gently. A wisp of golden light shot into a certain corner of the room. A dark black shadow immediately became distorted before turning into a black-colored human figure, appearing within the room, with one knee kneeling on the ground.

"Let Ling Shi go to the mountain behind the academy tomorrow. Moreover, send someone to ask if there are any traces of mysterious strongmen within the Jia Ma Empire. Besides, I need all the information about the Misty Cloud Sect!" Xun Er's face was calm as she glanced at the black shadow. His voice was clear and cold as he ordered.

"Yes, xiao-jie." The black shadow did not voice any opposition when he heard Xun Er's orders. Following the appearance of the soft female voice, her body swayed and once again turned into a dark shadow, which melted into the darkness before completely disappearing.

[TL: xiao-jie – young women from certain rich or powerful families.]

Xun Er only heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the black shadow disappear. His muttering voice softly echoed within the room, "Damn it, who exactly did this? He actually set his sights on Uncle Xiao Zhan?"

A dim, warm sunlight scattered from the sky the next morning. Following the slow appearance of blinding sunlight above the horizon, the academy, which had been silent for an entire night, was once again filled with energy. Countless young men and women repeatedly raided from all corners of the academy. Their purpose is very clear. It was a big stadium in the middle of the academy.

This two-day Qualifying Competition seemed to be an annual grand event at the Jia Nan Academy. Those who had the qualifications to participate in the Qualifying Competition were all people who belonged to the outstanding group. The giant rivalry between them is worth watching. Moreover, this year's Qualifying Competition was still followed by Xiao Xun Er, Bai Shan, as well as the red-clothed young lady, who was among the most outstanding people in the academy. This fact alone had gathered over half the audience.

Of course, other than the three, the great Jia Nan Academy still had some other outstanding competitors. Among them, Xiao Yan, who was able to defeat his opponent by using the blitzkrieg style method despite having just arrived, was naturally the one who became the focus of attention. Moreover, the intimate relationship, which was established between him and Xun Er, which was viewed by many male disciples as a goddess in their hearts, caused many to grit their teeth, causing many to grit their teeth, I want to see him embarrass himself.

After washing himself inside the house, Xiao Yan, along with Instructor Ruo Lin, Xun Er, and Xiao Yu left the house together. After that, they walked towards the stadium.

As the person who was the focus of attention in the academy, there were countless gazes, containing different types of emotions, shot out during the journey, causing Xiao Yan's forehead to feel numb. Seeing his helpless expression, Xun Er by his side also could not help but laugh softly. Her graceful and warm smile like a lotus instantly caused the sound of people swallowing saliva to be heard from both sides of the street.

Under the stinging hot gaze, the group continued immediately the group of Xiao Yan walked into the stadium, which was already crowded with people. After that, they walked towards the designated seat.

With Xun Er and Xiao Yan, the pair who attracted these gazes, the gazes of the entire stadium were naturally instantly transferred to them.

After sitting in his predetermined seat, Xiao Yan's brows suddenly twitched while talking to Xun Er. He seemed to sense something as he raised his head and directed his gaze towards the spectacle gallery on the opposite side. At that place, which was a very good observation location, a white-clothed Bai Shan was standing, clenching his hands together. Seeing the gaze Xiao Yan looked over, the corner of his mouth lifted into a faint cold smile. His palm was on the guardrail in front of him, and his finger carried out an extremely indistinct provoking action towards Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed as he stared at the white-clothed jade tree, extremely handsome, just like Bai Shan. He smiled faintly as a streak of cold light flashed across his black and dark pupils. He never boasted that he was a good man. Since the other party had provoked him repeatedly, then he would act accordingly.
