In the dreams that Nalan Yanran still has now and then, she rarely has any sweet dreams or nightmares, but simply hears the sweet voice of that woman again and again.
It's just that the sweet cry like a lark is not as gentle as water like the teacher.
But the wind blowing through the giant trees is calm and indifferent.
She was unconvinced, but instinctively felt a little uneasy.
Naturally, she would not believe that Xiao Yan would defeat her. There was no reason for her to lose.
However, even if she thought so in her heart, she could no longer stand still.
Although, since she returned from the Xiao Clan's divorce a year ago, she has begun to practice harder than before, but when the news of the Xiao Clan came now, her already urgent training became even more urgent.
Nalan Yanran himself knows this, and Yun Yun naturally understands this too.
"But if you practice day and night like you do, how long can you hold on?"
Yun Yun sighed softly and said, "In the end, if something goes wrong with your body, wouldn't it be worth the loss?"
"... But, I can't control that much."
Nalan Yanran paused, and she naturally understood that the teacher said this for her own good, but now time is running out, her future and the reputation of the sect are at stake, and she cannot be allowed to act as usual.
"Yan Ran, obey."
Yun Yun naturally knew that if she was trying to reason with her disciple, she might not be able to listen, so she just looked serious and said.
"... Well, I understand, teacher."
Nalan Yanran was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"Have a good rest and don't strain yourself too much... That kid Xiao Clan is indeed a rare genius, but we Yun Lan Sect can't even afford to train the future sect master."
Yun Yun couldn't help but raise her bare hand, and the white Rouyi gently brushed the girl's cheek, as if to brush away the faint tiredness in her eyebrows, and she was as gentle as the wind.
Nalan Yanran Allowed the teacher's gentle caress, the slightly wrinkled willow leaf embroidered eyebrows finally relaxed a little.
"I remember everything the teacher said."
"Well, after a while, after everything in the sect is almost settled, I will go to the Magical Beast Mountain Range to find Violet Spirit Crystal for you to help you improve your cultivation."
Seeing that his stubborn disciple was finally willing to obey, a faint smile appeared on Yun Yun's lips.
"Violet Spirit Crystal...? Could it be that Rank 6 Magical Beast Amethyst Winged Lion King among the Magical Beast Mountain Range...?"
As Yun Lan Sect's Young Sect Master, Nalan Yanran has some experience with Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures who has appeared in the Gama Empire's territory.
"Well, that is Amethyst Winged Lion Clan's regenerative thing. A small piece can only be removed from the body every twenty years. It is of great benefit to cultivation."
Yun Yun nodded slightly and said, "Yan Ran can't just take elixirs and drill into Life and Death Gate as soon as you encounter a bottleneck. I have to think of some ways for you."
"Teacher..."
Nalan Yanran I don't know what to say, but I just know that Amethyst Winged Lion King is Rank 6 Magical Beast among the Magical Beast Mountain Range, which is comparable to the Dou Emperor level. Even with the teacher's cultivation level, it may not be that easy to get Violet Spirit Crystal from a Dou Emperor level monster.
Because of this, Nalan Yanran had the idea of stopping Yun Yun.
However, before she could speak, Yun Yun took the lead and said, "Yan Ran, don't say anything like not letting me go. We are master and disciple, so we won't say such harsh words."
"Practice well, and even if my efforts are not in vain, Teacher."
"By the way, that's just right. When you left last year, did you mean you didn't go home for another year?"
Unknowingly, the topic between the two of them had already turned to the girl's unsatisfactory family affairs.
Needless to say, when Yun Yun mentioned the word going home, Nalan Yanran's eyebrows lowered, obviously not that enthusiastic about this topic.
After a moment of silence, Yun Yun heard the gentle sigh of the girl in front of him, with a touch of resentment and grievance, but also helplessness.
"Go home..."
Just by listening to the tone, anyone could tell that Nalan Yanran obviously didn't want to go back.
"... Teacher, I actually..."
Nalan Yanran hesitated to speak, but cast a hopeful look at the beauty in front of him.
Yun Yun couldn't help but sigh in his heart, secretly thinking that this was indeed the case.
No matter what he thinks in his heart, Yun Yun will not show it in front of his apprentice.
"——Anyway, you haven't been back for a year... shouldn't you go back and have a look?"
Yun Yun asked in return, the question thrown to Nalan Yanran himself in those beautiful eyes.
Nalan Yanran naturally resisted going back. After all, the fact that she went to the Xiao Clan to break off the engagement was essentially a decision she made on her own terms behind her family's back. After her family found out, Nalan Jie, the owner of the Nalan Family, became even more furious and filled with rage.
Nalan Jie himself is a strong man in the realm of Dou Wang, and is naturally a person with a long life. However, a few years ago, he had a fight with a fifth-level monster, Branding Iron Poison Seal Python, and accidentally hit Brand Poison.
Although with the cultivation level of Nalan Jie Dou Wang, it is natural to suppress Dou Qi for a short period of time without any danger of life, but as time goes by, Nalan Jie can no longer resist the erosion of Brand Poison, and the backlash has become stronger.
"I..."
Nalan Yanran Naturally, it can be thought that now, grandpa and his old man's condition is probably getting more serious.
If you huddle up in the Yun Lan Sect and just hide like an ostrich without caring about it, how can you be worthy of the elders in your family?
When he thought of this, Nalan Yanran actually already had the answer in his mind.
"... Teacher, I'd better go back and take a look."
As if he had made a great determination in his heart, Nalan Yanran finally sighed and said.
Yun Yun had already guessed that her disciple would say this, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Yes, I'm sure. Have a good rest today, pack up tomorrow, and go back to the imperial capital."
As Yun Lan Sect Master, she smiled, looked at the girl in front of her and nodded lightly. "I understand, teacher."
"... By the way, Lord Nalan Family is currently ill for the time being. Yan Ran went to pick up a few suitable medicinal materials in my name and brought them to Lord Nalan Family. This can be regarded as a small tribute from me and Yun Lan Sect."
Nalan Yanran naturally knew whose sake this gift was given to, so he nodded, then turned around and left the training ground at the top of Yun Lan Mountain.
Looking at the girl's leaving figure, Yun Yun breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.
This can be regarded as convincing the child.
