You and I Are Not From the Same World!

"Terrifying indeed!" Yun Yun sucked in a breath of cold air, undisguised shock on her face as she looked at Zhang Tian standing with his hands behind his back. Xiao Yan's talent was indeed frightening, but he had only been a bit stronger than Nalan Yanran. How had a single year apart left them separated by an entire realm?

What she did not know was that although Zhang Tian had made his move, Yao Lao's contributions had in fact been indispensable as well.

Standing behind the door, Nalan Yanran froze. Her body trembled, as if she had lost her soul.

"Xiao Yan." Nalan Yanran trembled slightly as she looked at the handsome, tall young genius before her. At this moment, his high spirits formed a stark contrast with that unyielding appearance he had shown back then.

"Nalan Yanran?" Xiao Yan glanced at her and noticed that the badge on her clothes now marked her as a Five Star Dou Zhe. Slightly surprised, he nodded, then continued looking toward Yun Yun.

"Sect Leader Yun, this time I asked my teacher to..."

Seeing that Xiao Yan had not even bothered to pay attention to her, Nalan Yanran's heart trembled. She opened her mouth, but all she felt was sorrow and regret. The joy of having just broken through to a Six Star Dou Zhe vanished without a trace.

Yun Yun felt endless heartache at the sight of her disciple like this and turned an inquiring gaze toward Zhang Tian.

"The children got along quite well... and now they could be considered a good match. Second Elder..." At this moment, she no longer had the imposing air of a sect leader. Instead, she seemed as if she were trying to help her disciple marry upward.

There was nothing to criticize about Xiao Yan's looks, and his talent and perseverance were also exceedingly powerful. For Nalan Yanran to be with him would undoubtedly be the best outcome, not to mention that the two of them already had a marriage agreement.

"Heh, I can't make that decision." Zhang Tian raised his hand with a helpless look, though his eyes carried a faint gleam of someone watching a good show.

Seeing this, Yun Yun sighed inwardly, yet she still asked unwillingly.

"How could you not make that decision? A teacher for a day is a father for life. In matters of marriage, parents make the decision. As long as Second Elder is willing, once Yanran comes of age next year, they can be married."

"Sect Leader Yun, right now it is I who am speaking with you, not my teacher." Xiao Yan was also extremely displeased. This old woman Yun Yun ignored him all day long. It was clearly his own marriage, yet she wanted to forcibly make the decision.

"If I were a Dou Emperor right now, how would Yun Yun dare not place me on equal footing when speaking with me?" Xiao Yan was faintly angry. From beginning to end, this master and disciple pair had never taken his feelings to heart.

"Back then, Nalan Yanran failed to observe a woman's virtue, came to my door, and went back on her word to break off the engagement. Today, I, Xiao Yan, have come to ask Sect Leader Yun to dissolve this marriage agreement." Hearing Xiao Yan's firm words, Nalan Yanran felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

"Sister Nalan, you are very outstanding, but we are not people of the same world." Xiao Yan's words were calm, without the slightest hint of ridicule or mockery, and it was precisely this calm tone that made Nalan Yanran feel unbearably miserable.

The Yun Lan Sect was indeed a massive force, and Yun Yun being a Dou Emperor was indeed impressive, but you, Nalan Yanran, and I were simply not people of the same world.

At this moment, Nalan Yanran was filled with regret and unwillingness. She reached out with a hand wearing an expensive jade bracelet to touch and caress Xiao Yan's face, but in the next instant, she withdrew it as if she had been shocked by electricity. On the verge of tears, strands of tears slid down beside the delicate young girl's beautiful eyes.

Perhaps there had once been a sincere love...

"This tier-six Magic Core, as well as the Symbiotic Amethyst Source Sect Leader Yun asked me to find last time, will serve as compensation for this absurd matter." Zhang Tian took out a Magic Core glowing with purple light from his storage ring, along with a piece of purple Symbiotic Amethyst Source.

"We would never be like the Yun Lan Sect, so vast and powerful yet still reluctant to shed a little blood." Zhang Tian smiled inexplicably, as if his words carried a deeper meaning, leaving Yun Yun extremely embarrassed.

"That is all there is to say. Another day, when Xiao Yan breaks through to Great Dou Shi, we will come again to borrow your sect's Life and Death Gate." Xiao Yan's tone was resolute, leaving no room for negotiation. Some people were very strange. He had merely treated her the same way she had treated him, and as a result, she could no longer bear it.

"Life and Death Gate..." Nalan Yanran's sorrow paused slightly, as if she had caught on to something.

"Teacher, what is the Life and Death Gate?" After Xiao Yan and Zhang Tian left, Nalan Yanran seemed to have grasped a thread of hope and asked Yun Yun.

"The Life and Death Gate is a forbidden ground of our Yun Lan Sect..." Yun Yun had no choice but to slowly explain.

"Then why is Xiao Yan entering our Yun Lan Sect's forbidden ground?" Nalan Yanran continued pressing, and the sight of her like this made Yun Yun's heart ache unbearably.

"Sigh..." Yun Yun's red lips parted slightly, and in the end, she recounted everything that had happened back then.

"Second Elder agreed to guide you to Great Dou Shi, and in exchange, Xiao Yan would obtain the chance to enter the Life and Death Gate to train."

"Second Elder agreed to guide me?" A trace of light appeared in Nalan Yanran's heart.

I still have a chance.

"Master, I still want to try. The Life and Death Gate—I want to enter it too." A hint of determination appeared in Nalan Yanran's eyes. She wanted to enter the Life and Death Gate and train together with Xiao Yan.

"All right, I promise you. But you must first break through to Great Dou Shi." Yun Yun sighed and nodded. Now that Nalan Yanran had developed favorable feelings for Xiao Yan, this was also an opportunity for the Yun Lan Sect.

"Then your disciple will go to Second Elder's place tomorrow." Nalan Yanran wiped away her tears and prepared to go back to pack her things.

"Sigh, go." Yun Yun nodded. Right now, she herself was also deeply lost. Although Second Elder was usually amiable toward others and had a gentle appearance, if anything touched upon his own disciple, he became incomparably forceful, ruthless, and merciless.

Nalan Yanran also left, leaving only Yun Yun alone in the great hall, sighing.

"How did it feel?" Zhang Tian smiled slightly. It seemed Xiao Yan was very satisfied with this trip to the Yun Lan Sect. In front of the Yun Lan Sect's sect leader, he had called off the marriage agreement with the Yun Lan Sect's Young Sect Master.

Although Zhang Tian and Xiao Yan had been extremely low-key this time, and almost no one knew about this matter except the four people involved, it had still been extremely satisfying.

"Master." Xiao Yan also smiled, in a wonderful mood, then looked toward Zhang Tian.

"Master, thank you. If not for you, I would still be nothing more than the young master of a small clan in Wu Tan City, living out this life either plainly or full of hardship."

"But your appearance, Master, prepared everything for me, allowing my path forward to be smooth and unobstructed. You let me see many sights far beyond the secular world and above imperial dynasties. You also allowed me to go farther and possess stronger power and a future. You taught me so much." It was not merely in training and combat techniques, but also in how to conduct himself in the world. No matter what happened, his teacher had always stood firmly by his side, becoming his support.

Back then, he had said that if the engagement were to be broken off, Yun Yun had to come, and his teacher had not hesitated to fight Yun Yun for that.

"Heh, silly boy, what nonsense are you saying?" Zhang Tian laughed loudly and rubbed his head.

"Hehe." With his head being rubbed, Xiao Yan also revealed a slightly embarrassed smile, then looked at Zhang Tian and said, "Teacher, you've actually always treated me as your own child, haven't you?" After saying this, the smile at the corner of Xiao Yan's mouth grew even more obvious, revealing a canine tooth.

"Well." Zhang Tian was slightly stunned. His steps suddenly paused, and he rubbed his chin lightly in thought.

"What do you mean, 'well'? It really does seem that way. But speaking of which, you were amazing today." Zhang Tian laughed loudly, his palm rubbing Xiao Yan's head. After spending all this time together, it seemed they really had formed a bond. That was not good. It would be harder to trick him in the future.

"Master, how old are you?"

"Eighteen plus twenty-three. Hmm, it also seems like twenty-four. Anyway, if you put it that way, around forty."

"Then do I have a master's wife?"

"In the last twenty-three years? I haven't even touched a woman's hand. In the first eighteen, there were a few. At my peak, I had two at once."

"Impressive. Then do I have any little junior brothers or Little Junior Sisters?"

"Of course. We'll have them slowly later."

"How about names? I'm saying, why don't you let me choose?"

"Get lost. I thought of them ages ago. The eldest son will be called Xuanyuan GouDan, and the second son Murong DaSha."
