Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

But thinking about the terrifyingly powerful woman who was by Xiao Fan's side, even Hu Jia had to admit that no one would dislike such an outstanding girl, right?

"Alright, it's not what you think. Yueyao is fine."

Hu Jia looked at Xiao Fan and said in a muffled voice.

Hearing that it wasn't the situation he had imagined, Xiao Fan felt relieved. As for the girl who had taken the initiative to approach him during the inner court selection competition, Xiao Fan couldn't say that he liked her that much at first. It was just that he was attracted by her appearance and had some vanity in his heart.

However, as they spent more time together, Yueyao's gentle and weak nature, as well as the occasional sadness and disappointment she revealed, had deeply impressed Xiao Fan.

During their time together, Xiao Fan had already decided that no matter what happened, he would protect Yue Yao. Since she wasn't strong enough, she could just stay behind him.

"So what you just said means..."

Xiao Fan looked at Hu Jia and couldn't help but wonder where Yue Yao had gone.

He hadn't thought much about it before, but now that he thought about it, the Black Corner Region was extremely dangerous, and Yueyao wasn't good at fighting, so she probably wouldn't go there. However, he didn't see Yueyao in the inner courtyard either.

Hu Jia looked at Xiao Fan, who had a concerned expression on his face, raised his head, and then said, "Yue Yao has gone home."

"Going home?"

Xiao Fan looked at Hu Jia with surprise, his brows furrowing. Although she hadn't mentioned it during their time together, he could still sense that Yue Yao didn't have much affection for his so-called family, so she had never told Xiao Fan about her background.

Because of Yue Zhishang's mission, Xiao Fan, although curious about Yue Yao's family, did not rashly inquire.

Upon hearing Hu Jia say that Yue Yao had gone home, Xiao Fan felt a bad premonition.

Hu Jia hesitated for a moment, but did not tell Xiao Fan about Yue Yao's strange expression when she left. She just sighed, then took out a jade pendant and handed it to Xiao Fan.

"This was left behind by Yueyao before she left. She didn't tell me exactly where she was going back to, but you can ask Senior Han Yue."

"Han Yue?"

Xiao Fan took the jade pendant from Hu Jia's hand.

The jade pendant, perfectly round, is carved with the shape of a full moon; its icy touch reveals its extraordinary nature.

Stroking the jade pendant in his hand, Xiao Fan pondered for a long time, but could not recall the description of Yue Yao's identity in the original work.

"Since Hu Jia says so, let's ask Senior Han Yue again when we have the chance."

After thinking it over, Xiao Fan stopped worrying about the question.

The three talked for a long time. During this time, some newly joined students from the Panmen sect came to pay their respects to Xiao Fan. Xiao Fan encouraged them and then left.

Hu Jia also told Xiao Fan about the current development of Panmen. As the undisputed number one power in the inner academy, Panmen has no shortage of experts. However, most of them have gone to the Black Corner Region with Xiao Yan. Many of those who remain in the inner academy have chosen to recuperate temporarily.

After all, they can't stay in the Black Corner Region all the time. The students usually spend time in both the Black Corner Region and the Inner Academy for a period of time.

Having learned about the current situation of Panmen and the Inner Court, Xiao Fan couldn't help but start thinking about what he should do next.

After all, the plot has changed dramatically at this point. Apart from some major events, significant changes have occurred in the Black Corner Region.

He naturally needed to think about what to do next as soon as possible.

There was nothing left in the inner courtyard to attract Xiao Fan. After some hesitation, Xiao Fan decided to head to the Black Corner Region first to assess the situation and eliminate Han Feng as soon as possible.

Xiao Fan didn't want to keep this villain around to annoy him.

Chapter 267 My Favorite Thing is Helping Others

At the edge of the inner courtyard, Xiao Fan waved to the Grand Elder in the distance, then led You Ruo and Zi Yan, who were following behind him. Yes, Xiao Fan didn't know how You Ruo and Zi Yan had gotten together again.

All I know is that when I found him, the two of us got along well.

Upon hearing the news that she was planning to go to the Black Corner Region, Zi Yan raised her hand to indicate that she also wanted to go to the Black Corner Region.

Therefore, Xiao Fan went to tell the Grand Elder about the situation. When the Grand Elder heard that Zi Yan wanted to go to the Black Corner Region with Xiao Fan and the others, he did not hesitate and gave them a warrant.

Because they are now at war with the forces in the Black Corner Region, the formation covering the inner courtyard has been modified by the elders.

Although You Ruo's strength was enough to easily break the formation, it would inevitably alert the inner courtyard elders. Therefore, Xiao Fan and the others obediently used the token given by the Grand Elder to leave the inner courtyard through the formation.

"what!"

It's finally out.

Breathing in the air outside the inner courtyard, Xiao Fan stretched. The last time he came out seemed to be the time when he and You Ruo were preparing to ambush Protector Eagle, but the plan was eventually canceled.

Xiao Fan turned his gaze to You Ruo and found that she was also looking at him. There was a hint of a smile in her light purple eyes, and she had obviously thought of this matter as well.

With a slight smile, Xiao Fan glanced at Zi Yan, who was standing beside You Ruo, and suddenly felt that the usually delicate and lovely Zi Yan was a bit superfluous at this moment.

Glancing at the alluring You Ruo, Xiao Fan asked helplessly, "Why did you bring Zi Yan out with you?"

The implication is that if it weren't for Ziyan, wouldn't it be just the two of us in our own little world?

Then, even if you are a Dou Zong powerhouse, you will still be defeated by my spear.

Thinking of this, a snow-white light appeared in Xiao Fan's mind, followed by a surge of heat.

Looking at Xiao Fan's expression, You Ruo's charming lips curled into a smile, and the unintentional allure she exuded completely defeated Xiao Fan.

You Ruo smiled at Xiao Fan without saying a word. She turned around, took Zi Yan's hand, and headed towards the Black Corner Region, leaving Xiao Fan standing there alone, lost in thought.

"What a deadly enchantress..."

After a while, Xiao Fan's battle qi wings flapped, and he chased after the direction where the two had disappeared at an astonishing speed, a happy smile on his face.

The inner courtyard and the Black Corner Domain are separated by only one mountain range.

However, this mountain range is quite vast for ordinary cultivators, and it also harbors countless high-level magical beasts, so it is rarely visited by anyone on ordinary days.

Today, however, these magical beasts that usually reign supreme in this mountain range are all wailing in agony.

"boom!"

Xiao Fan casually swatted a fifth-tier Wind Shadow Wolf away, then helplessly looked down at the two figures, one large and one small, watching the show.

The Wind Shadow Wolf's massive body was sent flying by Xiao Fan's slap, crashing directly into the cliff on the other side. It then fell to the ground, trembling and howling incessantly.

This wolf, usually the undisputed king of wolves in the mountains thanks to its speed, was now wagging its tail like a puppy towards the group of people in front of it.

Seeing this, Zi Yan strode proudly to the Wind Shadow Wolf's side, placed her right foot on a rock, and shouted excitedly, "Hmph! You stole my Cold Wind Grass last time and kept running around. Keep running!"

More and more excited she became, Zi Yan rushed to the Wind Shadow Wolf's side, reached out and grabbed its ear, pulling it up.

Despite her petite appearance, Zi Yan was now reprimanding the towering Feng Ying Wolf, which looked rather strange.

"You think you're so good at fighting? What good is being good at fighting? In this world, it's all about power and connections!"

Zi Yan reached out her little hand and patted the head of the Wind Shadow Wolf. Then, in front of it, she reached out and plucked a light blue herb. After hesitating for a moment, she picked a blue-green fruit from it, threw it back, and then ran excitedly to You Ruo's side.

"Sister Youruo, we've obtained another one!"

Xiao Fan glanced helplessly at You Ruo, who was looking at him with doting eyes. He couldn't figure out why You Ruo doted on Zi Yan so much. He could only helplessly conclude that it was because both of them were magical beasts, which made You Ruo nostalgic.

Turning his head to glance at the Wind Shadow Wolf lying on the ground, Xiao Fan did not kill it all. Although Xiao Fan did not mind taking a magic core, he was not a bloodthirsty person. He had no grudges against it and had already said that he did not lack any materials, so there was no need for it.

The Wind Shadow Wolf, which was lying on the ground, watched the group of people gradually disappear into the distance. The tears in its eyes were finally covered up again. It picked up a fruit that Zi Yan had thrown to it, tucked its tail between its legs, and left immediately.

Although the human had just let me go, what if the other party went back on their word? This is too scary for a wolf. I'd better find a secluded place to hide and cultivate for a while.

Among the three who had gone far away, Zi Yan handed the medicinal herbs she had just snatched back to Xiao Fan, and then excitedly took You Ruo's arm, pointed in a direction and said, "Over there, there's another Earth Armor Dragon. I once had my eye on a Willow Fruit, but it used its hard shell to eat my medicinal herbs whole."

"Let's go get revenge on it right now!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zi Yan excitedly flew in that direction.

"You spoil her like this?"

Xiao Fan looked at Zi Yan, who was excitedly looking ahead, then turned to look at You Ruo beside him, his tone somewhat resentful.

Upon leaving the inner courtyard, the first thing they encountered was a double-crowned snake. Zi Yan said it was an old adversary of hers, so You Ruo asked her to take action. In the end, she managed to pluck a Thousand-Leaf Grass from the snake's nest. Afterward, Zi Yan excitedly searched everywhere for the magical beasts that had previously suffered at their hands.

By acting cute and charming towards You Ruo, You Ruo in turn made Xiao Fan her henchman. Along the way, Zi Yan had taken advantage of Xiao Fan's power countless times.

Seeing how much You Ruo doted on Zi Yan, Xiao Fan couldn't help but feel a little jealous, even though Zi Yan was just a little girl. Who said girls are just... cough cough.

"What? Don't want to?"

You Ruo glanced at Xiao Fan indifferently, then haughtily raised her chin and looked at him, saying...

Looking at You Ruo's expression, Xiao Fan sighed helplessly. Just as he was about to speak, he felt a coolness on his cheek and a soft sensation. Then, You Ruo's figure mysteriously disappeared from the spot and followed behind Zi Yan.

Xiao Fan's expression froze instantly, then filled with excitement.

"Hey! Of course I'd love to help others!"

Chapter 268 The Valley of No Life

On the outskirts of the mountain range, Xiao Fan and his group finally emerged.

Xiao Fan glanced back at the mountains behind him and couldn't help but feel a pang of pity for these magical beasts.

He never expected that Zi Yan, who seemed harmless, would actually keep a mental record of things.

She remembered all the monsters that had bullied her before.

This time, relying on You Ruo's support, she directly led Xiao Fan and swept through them one by one, beating up all the magical beasts that had been quite rude to her before.

However, dealing with these monsters wasn't exactly a waste of time.

After all, Zi Yan handed over half of the rare medicinal herbs guarded by those magical beasts to You Ruo. However, You Ruo then gave these herbs to Xiao Fan, and they ended up in Xiao Fan's pocket.

Zi Yan's small portion was also given to Xiao Fan to be refined into pills for her.

"Alright, now let's go and take a look at the territory that the inner courtyard has set up outside."
