The moment the youth appeared, wisps of Immortal Qi seemed to drift through the mountain ravine. He walked forward step by step, treading upon immortal mist.
With just one glance, the maiden's heart began to stir. A flush spread across her body, and even her originally cold, proud eyes rippled like a pool of spring water.
The old man rubbed his eyes in disbelief as well. The instant that youth appeared, his aged body actually felt as though it were floating toward immortality.
Was he... about to ascend?!
Oh!() This was simply an unprecedented visual experience, as though every inch of one's skin had been stirred into dancing! How could there be someone so Extraordinary and Refined in this world? Every gesture, every smile, every glance back tugged at the heartstrings of all who saw him. His appearance and bearing were like those of a celestial immortal descending into the mortal world.
If there were a poem to describe him, it would surely be: Such a man belongs only in heaven; how often can the mortal world ever encounter one?
The faintly angry voice of the Banished Immortal youth made Nalan Yanran tremble all over. After spacing out for a moment, she immediately rebuked the young man who had rashly attacked. "Yun Chuan, what are you doing? We came here to pay a visit, not to cause trouble!"
"Young Master, I apologize. Our man was too reckless. Yanran apologizes to you once more. To make it up to you, Young Master, feel free to ask for anything you want. As long as I have it, I am willing to give it to you."
Ge Ye was stunned. Nalan Yanran, who had always been proud and had been raised by the Sect Master as the Young Sect Master, actually had flushed cheeks as she gazed at the youth with eyes full of springtime affection, apologizing in such a gentle tone!
This was truly something he had never seen in his life!
And what did you mean by that last sentence? You were willing to give him anything you had? What were you implying? Would you give him your virginity too?
How bold! This Seductress was trying to seduce my Brother Qingyun?!
After hearing that, Xiao Xun'er's almond-shaped eyes widened. She could not help moving closer to Su Qingyun, as though guarding her food.
She glanced at Su Qingyun and secretly thought, Brother Qingyun, you must not be fooled by this woman's appearance! "You should not apologize to me. The person he attacked was not me, but him. You should apologize to him."
Su Qingyun felt strangely uncomfortable under Nalan Yanran's gaze. The feeling seemed oddly familiar.
He pointed at Xiao Yan and spoke indifferently.
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes at the young man called Yun Chuan, his fists already clenched tight. He was still too weak. When the other party's Dou Zhe strength had erupted just now, he had been completely incapable of resisting. How could he still talk about protecting Brother Qingyun?
Look at Nalan Yanran—she was actually looking at Brother Qingyun with those lovestruck eyes. This was truly too much! (No, wasn't your focus a little off? Your fiancée was about to fall in love with another man at first sight!) "Yun Chuan, aren't you going to apologize to him?"
Nalan Yanran looked toward the young man.
The young man had also been briefly dazed the instant Su Qingyun appeared. Snapped awake by Nalan Yanran's rebuke, he replied unwillingly, "I can apologize to this Young Master, but apologizing to this trash with Dou Zhi Qi Stage Three? I can't do that."
Yun Chuan's gaze toward Su Qingyun was filled with admiration and reverence. The Banished Immortal youth had casually used Dou Qi to neutralize his Dou Skill just now, which was enough to show how powerful he was! Moreover, this youth seemed untouched by mortal dust, with extraordinary features that marked him as anything but ordinary. He was surely the disciple of the senior who had previously caused the heavenly phenomenon in Falling Immortal Stream!
Lowering his head to him was not humiliating. He would even willingly be his lackey! But this one with Dou Zhi Qi Stage Three had an ordinary appearance and average talent—he was obviously just a servant. Was he worthy of an apology from him? Though Yun Chuan was not some Peerless Heavenly Talent in the Misty Cloud Sect, he was still above average when looking across the Jia Ma Empire. Besides, his grandfather was Yun Leng, the Great Elder of the Misty Cloud Sect. Not just anyone could trample over him! Yun Chuan cast Xiao Yan a disdainful glance.
Such contemptuous eyes, coupled with those cold mockeries, could deeply wound a person's self-respect.
But Xiao Yan had long grown accustomed to it over the past three years, so much so that the veins on his face bulged.
Still, he gritted his teeth and forcibly held himself back from attacking.
The other party was quite strong, possessing the cultivation of a Five Star Dou Zhe. Whether it was himself or Xun'er, both were at a lower realm than the other party. Brother Qingyun had only just begun cultivating as well. He could not provoke the other party and bring trouble upon Brother Qingyun.
Su Qingyun's Immortal Eyes narrowed as he stared at Yun Chuan, then glanced at Xiao Yan.
He knew that Xiao Yan must have been enduring this with great difficulty.
Su Qingyun merely said to Xiao Yan, "Since he is unwilling to apologize to you, then hit him back."
Xiao Yan froze and pointed at himself. "Brother Qingyun, m-me?"
Not only was Xiao Yan stunned, even Nalan Yanran, who had nearly lost her mind in the river of love, and the old man Ge Ye were dumbfounded.
Yun Chuan burst into unrestrained laughter.
"Hit me? A guy with Dou Zhi Qi Stage Three? Does he dare? Even if I give him one hand, he still won't be able to get close to me!"
He was a Five Star Dou Zhe! "What's wrong with Dou Zhi Qi Stage Three? I'm only Level 1 Dou Qi."
Su Qingyun spoke calmly and gave Xiao Yan a reassuring look. "Do you believe me?"
That look actually made both Xiao Xun'er and Nalan Yanran feel somewhat jealous!
It held concern, protection, and calm composure. At that moment, they wished they could become the youth Yun Chuan looked down upon!
Feeling that gaze, Xiao Yan instantly seemed to be pumped full of blood. The Dou Qi throughout his body surged as he clenched his fist and charged at Yun Chuan.
"I believe Brother Qingyun unconditionally! Whoever Brother Qingyun tells me to hit, I won't hesitate!"
"You're courting death!"
Seeing that Xiao Yan actually dared to charge forward and attack him, Yun Chuan snorted coldly. The Dou Qi vortex within his body spun as he unleashed a Mysterious Tier Low-Grade Dou Skill.
"Mysterious Wind Palm!"
On the Dou Qi Continent, the power of Dou Skills was often the key factor in determining the strength of cultivators at the same realm.
Dou Skills also varied in quality. From strongest to weakest, they were divided into four tiers: Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, and Yellow. Each tier was further divided into low, middle, and high grades.
Yet for ordinary cultivators at the Dou Zhe realm and below, being able to learn one or two low- or middle-grade Yellow Tier Dou Skills was already exceedingly difficult.
As for Mysterious Tier Dou Skills, in Wu Tan City, only the elders and Clan Heads of the Three Great Clans had the chance to encounter and learn them.
Yun Chuan was a disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect, yet he had been able to learn a Mysterious Tier Dou Skill at such a young age. This surprised Xiao Yan somewhat.
But in the next moment, Yun Chuan was even more shocked. The higher-grade Mysterious Tier Dou Skill he had deliberately unleashed this time actually turned into a gentle breeze again, without the slightest hint of destructive force!
By all rights, once his Mysterious Wind Palm was unleashed, even cultivators with Eight or Nine Segment Dou Qi would suffer severe injuries, perhaps even perish on the spot.
Yet Immortal Qi curled around Su Qingyun's fingertips. With a casual wave, though there were only one or two wisps, they wrapped around Yun Chuan's body and actually suppressed the Dou Qi within him, making it difficult for his Dou Qi to take form outside his body and transform into a Dou Skill!
While Yun Chuan was still dumbfounded, Xiao Yan had already seized the opportunity. He skillfully gripped his woodcutting axe and rushed forward, striking Yun Chuan twice with its blunt end. Bloody swellings immediately appeared, followed by a savage beating. Only miserable cries could be heard. "Ah! Brat, you're finished! You dare hit me?!"
"I'm fucking going to kill you! Ahhh!"
"Brother, I was wrong! Just don't hit my face..."
