After Su Qian hurriedly arrived at Tianxin Pavilion, he ascended to the third floor and immediately recognized Qi Lin, whom Hu Gan had mentioned.
Qi Lin sat amidst the women, like a jade tree rooted in a cluster of flowers. Even though he was just sitting there in an ordinary manner, with a hint of laziness in his demeanor, he still gave Su Qian a feeling of unparalleled uniqueness.
As the Great Elder of Canaan Academy's Inner Academy, Su Qian had seen countless prodigies over the years. However, those prodigies seemed dim and insignificant compared to Qi Lin, like fireflies next to a bright moon.
As soon as Hu Gan saw Su Qian approaching, he immediately stood up and introduced him to Qi Lin, saying, "Your Excellency Qi Lin, this is Su Qian, the Great Elder of our Canaan Academy's Inner Academy!"
Qi Lin looked at the newcomer and nodded slightly.
Hu Gan then stepped forward to introduce Qi Lin and the women to Su Qian.
Su Qian listened and then stepped forward, sighing with emotion.
"I never imagined that Su Qian would be so fortunate to meet such exceptional talents today."
Qi Lin smiled slightly and said, "Elder Su Qian, you flatter me!"
Afterward, everyone sat down again and chatted happily in Tianxin Pavilion.
Su Qian and Hu Gan also learned the reason for Qi Lin and the others' presence there. They then looked at Gu Yuena, who had restored her true strength and whose Dou Zong aura was fully displayed, and a look of amused helplessness flashed in their eyes.
"I never expected that Miss Gu Yuena, a dignified Dou Zong expert, would think so highly of our Canaan Academy, even hiding her strength to study here."
The women all chuckled softly upon hearing this, as they had all heard Xue Ling mention that it was Gu Yuena who had proposed joining Canaan Academy to study.
Gu Yuena's cool face did not show much emotional fluctuation. She simply said in a calm tone, "Learning is endless, and moreover, I have indeed learned many things at Canaan Academy and made a friend."
Hu Gan's eyes flashed with surprise upon hearing this.
This person was a genuine Dou Zong expert; her standards must be high. Who among the students of Canaan Academy could catch her eye?
Could it be that brat Hu Jia?
Su Qian also asked curiously, "May I ask who Miss Gu Yuena is referring to?"
Gu Yuena looked at Su Qian and said, "You are the Great Elder of the Inner Academy, so you should know her. Her name is Zi Yan, and she is the first on the Strong Ranking of the Inner Academy."
Upon hearing this, Su Qian immediately showed a look of realization.
"So the friend Miss Gu Yuena mentioned is Zi Yan!"
Gu Yuena nodded.
Hu Gan, on the other hand, clapped his hand, his expression slightly agitated.
"Isn't this a coincidence? Zi Yan was brought into Canaan Academy by Great Elder Su Qian from outside, and he has always regarded Zi Yan as his own daughter."
Everyone was slightly surprised to hear this.
They hadn't expected Su Qian and Zi Yan to have such a relationship.
Qi Lin, knowing the plot, was naturally not surprised.
Su Qian also showed a slight smile on his face.
For Zi Yan to be able to make these friends might be an opportunity for her, and she might even be able to find her own kin through Qi Lin and the others.
After all, with such talent and strength, Gu Yuena and Qi Lin must have extraordinary backgrounds. Perhaps they could discern Zi Yan's true species.
During the subsequent conversation, the atmosphere became even more harmonious due to Su Qian's relationship with Zi Yan.
During their discussion, Qi Lin did not put on any airs and even answered many cultivation difficulties for Su Qian and the others.
Among them, Hu Gan benefited the most.
Because Hu Gan's strength was already at the peak of Dou Huang, only a step away from Dou Zong.
However, at this realm, besides taking pills or using natural treasures to forcefully break through the shackles, one could only rely on comprehension, understanding the power of space, and naturally breaking through to Dou Zong.
And with Qi Lin's strength, his mastery of space might not even be matched by ordinary Half-Saints.
Therefore, a few casual pointers to Hu Gan actually allowed him to comprehend a trace of spatial power.
Although he did not break through to Dou Zong on the spot, with Hu Gan's accumulation, he would break through within three to five months.
Because of this, not only was Hu Gan extremely excited, but Su Qian was equally thrilled.
Because as long as Hu Gan broke through, Canaan Academy would gain another Dou Zong expert.
The discussion ended, and dishes with enticing aromas were brought up.
The ingredients used for these dishes were either the meat of fourth-tier or even fifth-tier magical beasts, or some natural treasures.
Hu Gan had put a lot of thought into entertaining Qi Lin and the others.
Although he knew that people of Qi Lin's status and strength might not care for these things, they at least had to express their attitude.
The banquet was a joyous occasion for both hosts and guests!
After the banquet, Hu Gan personally arranged accommodations for Qi Lin and the others.
And shortly after Hu Gan left, a voice suddenly came from a distance.
"Sister Gu Yuena, Little Xue Ling!"
A clear voice suddenly came from the distant sky.
Everyone looked up and saw a little girl, appearing to be twelve or thirteen years old, flying over from afar.
The little girl had purple hair, delicate features, clear eyes, and wore a loose white robe, looking somewhat adorably naive.
Gu Yuena looked at the newcomer, a faint smile gracing her cheeks.
Xue Ling's face showed a hint of pleasant surprise.
"Why is Zi Yan here!"
After speaking, she looked at Qi Lin, then at the women, and introduced with a smile, "This is Zi Yan!"
As she spoke, Zi Yan had already descended from the sky, but when she saw Qi Lin and the other women, a look of confusion flashed in her eyes.
Who were these people?
It was Zi Yan's first time seeing so many people around Sister Gu Yuena.
"Zi Yan, you're here!" Gu Yuena said with a light smile, looking at Zi Yan.
Actually, Zi Yan initially didn't want to call Gu Yuena 'sister,' as she was already used to being the boss in the Inner Academy.
But she couldn't defeat Gu Yuena, and Gu Yuena also had a feeling that made her feel close, plus Gu Yuena had fed her many delicious things.
That's why Zi Yan was willing to call Gu Yuena 'sister.'
"Sister Gu Yuena, who are these people?" Zi Yan could tell that these people in front of her were very close to Gu Yuena, so she asked curiously.
However, Zi Yan's gaze lingered more on Qi Lin and Little Fairy Doctor.
The two had refined countless pills not long ago, so a faint medicinal fragrance naturally lingered around them.
These things couldn't escape Zi Yan's little nose.
The Ancient Void Dragon clan also possessed a treasure-hunting talent, and this talent was particularly strong in Qi Lin.
And after Zi Yan asked, Gu Yuena immediately introduced Qi Lin and the women to her.
During her introduction, Zi Yan's eyes sparkled, and she looked at Qi Lin twice more.
She could feel that Qi Lin and Sister Gu Yuena's relationship seemed very unusual.
Because the usually cold Sister Gu Yuena's eyes became so gentle when introducing Qi Lin that it seemed as if water could overflow from them.
