The commendation ceremony was like a dream to many people.
The first place went to Class 29, which was the last in the year.
The champion was actually the "Shame of South China" that had been mocked by everyone for almost three years.
Could such an outcome be any more unexpected and ridiculous?
It turned out that the order of alighting and exiting the boat wasn't wrong. Instead, it was Grade 12 Class 29 that was riding on the necks of Grade 12 Class 1 and Grade 12 Class 2, these two elite classes.
Thus, when Chen Guang announced the results of the trial, everyone was in an uproar. They couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Class 29, at the champion of the trial, Yang Fan. They didn't even pay attention to what Chen Guang was going to say next.
Yang Fan felt like there was a sharp edge on his back. He was on high alert.
Huang Zhong was extremely happy and excited. He loved the feeling of being in the limelight. He could not help but feel like he was floating.
Soon, Chen Guang's speech ended. The teams from each class were dismissed and the students were free to leave.
When he saw that many teachers and students were unknowingly approaching them, Yang Fan could not help but run away.
He did not want to be surrounded and did not want to accept any interviews. What if someone took advantage of the chaos and secretly stabbed him?
As soon as Yang Fan moved, Yan Han, Hua Yue, Zhao Zhu, and Xia Zixuan scattered at the same time. After a day of shock in the trial canyon, they were not in the mood to deal with these little fangirls. They wanted to go home and find their mother.
Seeing that all five of his best students had run away, Huang Zhong did not say anything to stop them. He could not help but praise in his heart, "These kids are really sensible. They know how to be humble at the crucial moment and not steal the limelight for their form teacher. Not bad, not bad!"
The smile on Huang Zhong's face was even brighter. He lifted his head so high that he was about to stand on his toes.
Looking at the waves of people rushing towards him, Huang Zhong raised his arms and smiled. "Everyone, don't worry. I'm the form teacher of Class 29, Huang Zhong. You can ask me if you have any questions …"
He squeezed out of the crowd and sneaked out of the school, taking a taxi home.
Not long after he left the school gate, Yan Han, Hua Yue, Zhao Zhu, and Xia Zixuan came out of the crowd too.
The four of them looked at each other and heaved a sigh of relief. However, none of them were in the mood to talk anymore.
Xia Zixuan, who had finally gotten rid of Yang Fan's fear, was like a wild horse that had suddenly broken free of its reins. The aura of a Level Three Martial Master burst out of her body. She even floated up close to a hundred meters high and landed on the top of the school building with a long howl.
Then, he ran away crazily as fast as lightning, much faster than the maglev trains that were rushing on the surface.
"Has Xia Zixuan gone mad?"
Zhao Zhu still had lingering fears. Xia Zixuan looked a little scary just now.
Hua Yue looked up at the roof and said, "I don't know if she's crazy or not, but I know that once she goes back this time, she will definitely not come to school again. She has been scared out of her wits by Yang Fan. "
Zhao Chu's heart skipped a beat. "Hua Yue, do you know what Yang Fan did to Xia Zixuan during the trial? Why was she so afraid of Yang Fan?"
"How would I know?" Hua Yue rolled her eyes at Zhao Zhu. "I was only eliminated a few minutes later than you guys. I don't know much more than you guys."
"Besides, ever since Zixuan came back, she seemed to have shut herself off. No matter how much I asked her, she didn't say a word. If it weren't for the fact that she was a little scared when she saw Yang Fan, I would've been worried that her brain was damaged. "
When she said this, Hua Yue suddenly turned to look at Yan Han. "Yan Han, isn't Grade 12 Class 6's form teacher, Teacher Yan Dong, your cousin? Why don't you ask him?"
"Lame!"
Yan Han looked up emotionlessly and pouted in disdain. He then walked away, causing Hua Yue to grit her teeth behind him.
"Forget it if you don't want to. Do you think I don't have any other ways?!"
Hua Yue snorted coldly, turned around, and walked away angrily, leaving Zhao Zhu alone in a daze.
Ten minutes later.
In the Xia family's temporary residence in the East District.
Xia Zixuan ran all the way and descended from the sky, alerting the guards in the courtyard. They all leaped out from the dark and surrounded her.
After confirming Xia Zixuan's identity, the guards put away their weapons and went up to greet Xia Zixuan.
"Where's my father? Is he back?"
Xia Zixuan asked the guards in a sharp voice.
"Miss, the City Lord hasn't been back since he left the city for a battle with Grandmaster Wang Zhe yesterday afternoon." One of the guards, Shia Zhi, replied respectfully, "I've sent people out to investigate. Grandmaster Wang Zhe doesn't seem to have returned to the city either."
Xia Zixuan trembled. Something must have happened if he had not returned for a day and a night.
Her Master father was not around, and Uncle Luo and Zhao Fengchen, who had the highest cultivation, had betrayed the City Lord's Estate. Xia Zixuan did not have a place to settle down at all. She was like a frightened rabbit, desperately wanting to find a place that could make her feel at ease.
Among these guards, the highest cultivation level was only a level eight or nine Martial Master. There was not even a peak Martial Master, so how could they protect her? What if Yang Fan brought people to cause trouble for them again like yesterday? Who could stop them?
"No! It's not safe here! I don't want to stay here for a moment longer! "
Xia Zixuan suddenly looked up and ordered Shia Zhi, "My father hasn't returned for so long. Something must have happened outside the city. I want to go back to Dongchu City! I'll ask the elder for help. Right now, I'll arrange it immediately! "
Shia Zhi was stunned. "Right now? Miss, it's almost dark. If you leave now, I'm afraid it's not very safe … "
"Stop talking nonsense!" Xia Zixuan scolded loudly, "The situation is critical. No matter how dangerous it is, I have to go back. I can't wait a moment longer! I want to leave now! "
"Yes, yes!" Shia Zhi dared not refute. She nodded and said, "I'll contact the airship in our City Governor's Office right now and ask them to report to Dongchu City immediately. In less than five minutes, the airship should be able to take off."
Then, Shia Zhi started to contact Jiang Wen who was in charge of the airship's safety right in front of Xia Zixuan.
Indeed, in less than five minutes, the airship from Dongchu City arrived above the Xia residence as promised. Xia Zixuan did not say anything else and just flew into the sky right away, ordering Jiang Wen to return to Dongchu City as quickly as possible.
Half an hour later, when night had completely fallen and the wilderness was pitch-black, Xia Zixuan finally returned to the City Governor's Office as she wished. The little girl was so excited that she was tearing up.
She was finally home.
She was finally safe!
Yang Fan, that bastard, was no longer a threat to her!
"Zixuan, quickly come and see me!"
Xia Zixuan had almost just landed when she heard the Elder Xia's dignified voice transmission.
When she heard this extremely familiar and loving voice, Xia Zixuan's panicked and excited state of mind instantly calmed down.
"Elder Ancestor!"
Xia Zixuan cried emotionally. The Elder Ancestor Xia Chunqiu's position in Xia Zixuan's heart was like a guardian. He was at the peak of Master, powerful, mysterious, and invincible!
As long as she stayed by the Elder Ancestor's side, no one could hurt her anymore!
The reason she had rushed back in such a hurry despite the dangers of the night was an instinctive reaction after encountering a fatal danger. She could not wait to return to the place she thought was the safest.
Xia Zixuan did not expect the Elder Ancestor to care so much about her that she could receive the Elder Ancestor's voice transmission as soon as she returned.
For a moment, it was as if a ray of warm and bright sunlight had shone directly into her heart. Xia Zixuan's heart was unprecedentedly calm. The psychological trauma that Yang Fan had caused her during the trial had been forcefully suppressed at this moment, making her no longer afraid and hesitant.
Very soon, a familiar figure descended from the sky and grabbed Xia Zixuan's arm before disappearing in a flash.
Xia Zixuan knew who it was. It was an old servant by Xia Chunqiu's side. His cultivation was unfathomable, and he seemed to have stepped into the threshold of Master. However, he had always been by the Elder Ancestor's side to serve him. Other than the direct descendants of the Xia family, very few people had seen him before.
The old servant was very fast. From the moment he appeared to the moment he brought Xia Zixuan to the entrance of the underground tunnel, it was only the blink of an eye.
Xia Zixuan did not even have the time to ask him anything. When she opened her eyes again, she realized that they had already arrived before the Elder Ancestor.
"Elder Ancestor!" Xia Zixuan's eyes reddened. She suddenly jogged over to Xia Chunqiu and hugged his arm as she started to cry.
Her expression was extremely aggrieved. The emotions that had been suppressed for a long time were suddenly released at this moment.
Xia Chunqiu had a benevolent smile on his face. He lifted a hand and gently patted Xia Zixuan's head as he said calmly, "It's all in the past now. No one can hurt you by the Elder Ancestor's side."
"Now, tell the Elder Ancestor, what did you guys encounter in West Chu City?" When Xia Zixuan's emotions stabilized a little, Xia Chunqiu asked softly, "Where's your father? Where's Xia Luo? Why didn't they come back with you?"
When he mentioned Xia Luo, Xia Chunqiu's calm face revealed a hint of undetectable eagerness, but Xia Zixuan had been crying with her head lowered and did not notice anything.
"Elder Ancestor, it's like this …"
"… It's all that Yang Fan's fault. Not only was Father lured out of the city for a day and a night without returning, even Uncle Luo and Vice City Lord Zhao were bewitched by him to betray the City Governor's Office and defect to West Chu City."
"Also, in the trial ground, Yang Fan even schemed against Zixuan and caused Zixuan's accidental death. If it weren't for Zixuan awakening the Immortal Bloodline in advance and finding a way to survive in the midst of death, I might not have the chance to come back to see you again!"
Then, Xia Zixuan started to grit her teeth and begged Xia Chunqiu, "Elder Ancestor, you must teach that Yang Fan a lesson for Zixuan. Crush his bones and scatter his ashes. Tear him into pieces!"
"Okay, okay, okay. That person is called Yang Fan, right? Don't worry. If there's a chance, I won't let him go!"
Hostility flashed in Xia Chunqiu's eyes, then he lowered his head and looked kindly at Xia Zixuan. He said gently, "But right now, you need a good rest. When you wake up, everything will be fine."
Then, Xia Chunqiu lifted a hand and gently brushed Xia Zixuan's forehead. Xia Zixuan felt dizzy and she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
"Xia Servant!"
In the next moment, the kindness on Xia Chunqiu's face vanished. He threw Xia Zixuan into the hands of the old servant beside him and ordered sternly, "Go, extract all the essence and blood from this girl. I need the Immortal Serum in her body."
Xia Servant's expression did not change. He picked Xia Zixuan up and bowed before leaving in a flash.
Bam!
After Xia Servant left, Xia Chunqiu could not help but slam the coffee table beside him, smashing the entire solid wood table into nothingness.
"Xia Lai, that useless piece of trash who can't do anything right!"
Xia Chunqiu roared angrily, "How many times did I tell him that the main reason he went to West Chu City this time was for Xia Luo? It was for the Immortal Serum! He told him to keep a low profile and not cause any trouble, but look what happened! "
"He fought fiercely over such a small matter and caused trouble! He ruined I's great opportunity for nothing! "
"He missed the best time to extract it. Now, I can only collect some incomplete Immortal Serum. This Xia Lai really deserves to die!"
"It's fine if he dies in the wild this time, but if he's lucky enough to make it back, let's see if I doesn't suck his essence and blood dry!"
