Xiao Jian's soft chuckle instantly drew the attention of Xiao Yu and her group.
Xiao Yan, who had already turned his head, couldn't see where the voice came
from....but the next moment, an arm wrapped around his shoulder, followed by a few familiar pats.
"Not bad, huh? Looks like you've made quite some progress while I was away."
That familiar, slightly amused voice made Xiao Yan's face light up.
"Third Brother! You're back!"
He turned around and greeted him with a wide smile.
"Heh, not bad yourself. Five-star now… or six?" Xiao Jian asked with a playful grin.
"Five-star," Xiao Yan admitted helplessly, rubbing his nose.
In just a few months, his growth had been tremendous, yet he couldn't sense Xiao Jian's power at all. That alone was terrifying.
Judging by how he couldn't read his brother's aura, Xiao Jian was probably at least an eight-star...or even a nine-star.....by now.
He remembered that before leaving, Xiao Jian had already been a four-star.
Thinking of that, Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
After all, in his mind, Xiao Jian's talent had always been a little higher than his own.
If he had reached five stars, then Xiao Jian surely must have climbed to eight or nine.
"Hmm? This aura…"
Just as Xiao Yan was thinking that, Yao Lao's puzzled voice echoed in his heart.
"Teacher? What's wrong?" Xiao Yan asked silently.
"I think I just sensed… a trace of Heavenly Flame on your third brother," Yao Lao murmured after a pause.
"Heavenly Flame?" Xiao Yan's heart trembled.
"Yes. But this isn't the right time to talk about it. Once the enrollment test is over, we'll discuss it in detail," Yao Lao replied, then fell silent again.
"You still remember to come home, do you?"
Seeing Xiao Jian return just in time.....and acting all brotherly with Xiao Yan....Xiao Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
A faint blush of annoyance rose on her face as she walked up and lightly pounded his chest with her pink fist.
"Heh, let's head inside first," Xiao Jian said with a chuckle.
Grasping Xiao Yu's small hand, he confidently led the group forward, following the middle-aged officer whose face showed faint irritation from the delay his arrival had caused.
"Xiao Jian, what's your strength now?" Xiao Yu whispered beside him, her warm breath brushing against his ear.
Feeling the tickle of her voice and the faint fragrance that accompanied it, Xiao Jian's spirit lifted.
Around them, rows of stone-faced soldiers stood in formation, exuding a subtle metallic scent of blood.
For Xiao Yan and the others, who had never seen such an intimidating scene, it was suffocating.
Yet Xiao Jian moved through it with an easy smile, whispering,
"Why don't you take a guess, Sister Xiao Yu? Guess it right, and there'll be a reward."
Xiao Yu was about to take the question seriously.....until she noticed where Xiao Jian's gaze had landed.
His eyes were fixed squarely on her lips.
This shameless pervert! He clearly wanted her to reward him!
"Hmph!"
Xiao Yu turned away with a soft snort, feigning annoyance and ignoring him.
Seeing that, Xiao Jian simply raised an eyebrow and shifted his gaze toward Xun'er, who was walking beside Xiao Yan.
With a teasing smile, he said,
"Xun'er, you're around five-star too, right? You'd better work hard, or Xiao Yan's going to surpass you soon."
Xun'er covered her lips with a light laugh. "Brother Xiao Jian, you're teasing me again.
Brother Xiao Yan's talent has always been greater than mine.
He's only catching up to where he should be. Surpassing me is only a matter of time."
Xiao Jian shook his head helplessly. "Xun'er, you're far too kind to him."
"Hehe~"
Xun'er giggled sweetly, leaning closer to Xiao Yan and hugging his arm.
Her tilted head and soft smile made her look even more charming.
Xiao Yan's expression stiffened. His face didn't turn red, but his ears definitely did.
Meanwhile, the nearby soldiers grew increasingly cold-faced and uneasy.
They couldn't help but wonder...what was wrong with these kids? How could they act so carefree in such a tense place?
Xiao Jian had wanted to chat with Xiao Ning as well, but the corridor of soldiers wasn't long.....barely a dozen meters.
By the time they exchanged a few words, they had already reached the end.
