"You little brat, you dare tease your teacher?" "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare! Teacher, I was wrong~" The master and disciple frolicked in the courtyard like a pair of sisters.

Yun Yun told Nalan Yanran everything that had happened since she met Xiao Tian. After all, they were both women, so Yun Yun naturally could not speak as freely with Yun Shan.

After hearing Yun Yun out, Nalan Yanran finally understood why Xiao Tian had seemed familiar. Perhaps she had seen him when she went to the Xiao Family to break off the engagement. Who would have thought that such a powerful expert would appear in a small city like Wutan City!

She wondered how far Xiao Yan had progressed by now. Her father had previously told her that Xiao Yan had regained his talent. However, Nalan Yanran did not regret her choice. Xiao Yan, although I, Nalan Yanran, wronged your Xiao Family three years ago, I do not regret it. I do not want my own path to be decided by others. I will wait for you atop Misty Cloud Summit.

Seeing Nalan Yanran lost in thought, Yun Yun asked, "Are you thinking about the Three-Year Pact between you and Xiao Yan of the Xiao Family?" Nalan Yanran nodded, then replied, "Yes. I wonder how that former useless youth is doing now. Although I hurt him when I went to break off the engagement back then, I did not want to marry someone I did not know. I do not think I was wrong!"

Yun Yun recalled what Xiao Tian had once said: in the Three-Year Pact between Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan, the loser would definitely be Nalan Yanran. Xiao Yan's talent, diligence, and the soul expert cultivating him from behind the scenes were not things Nalan Yanran could compare to!

Yun Yun said, "Whether you win or lose does not matter. What happened has already happened. The Three-Year Pact is almost here. Once it is over, just let everything pass." "Mm."

Yun Yun still followed Xiao Tian's advice and did not tell her that she would lose. Nor did she mention that Xiao Yan had a Dou Zun soul teacher. As for when Yun Yun had learned these things, it was when Xiao Tian had told her everything during their last visit to the Misty Cloud Sect.

He had presented the events of the original story as if they were his own analysis, and had also told Yun Yun about the ancient clans and some secret histories of the Soul Clan. Xiao Tian had made it clear that, before they had sufficient strength, they should avoid drawing the Soul Hall's attention. After all, their foundation was the strongest of all! Yun Yun had been left utterly stunned. Later, Xiao Tian also told her that she could not tell anyone about these matters. Seeing his serious expression, Yun Yun agreed. Even now, she had not told anyone.

Yun Yun thought the same as Xiao Tian. She did not want to get involved in the matter between Xiao Yan and the Soul Clan. They could fight however they wanted, as long as they did not come provoke them.

Looking at the determined Nalan Yanran, Yun Yun did not know how to persuade her. After thinking it over, she decided to do her utmost to improve her disciple's strength.

"Yan Ran, your teacher will train you properly these next few days. You must work hard too. Win or lose, at least you will have given it your all," Yun Yun said with a smile.

"Alright, Teacher. Thank you. I'm already a two-star Da Dou Shi," Nalan Yanran said. Yun Yun replied, "Right, I nearly forgot. Come with me. Let's go find Xiao Tian."

"Ah, Teacher, why are we looking for him? Aren't you going to have me cultivate?" Nalan Yanran asked in confusion. Yun Yun said, "We're asking him to refine some pills for you, to raise your strength! These next few days will be enough for you to improve and consolidate your cultivation."

"Teacher, he can refine pills too?" Nalan Yanran was now completely curious about Xiao Tian. His strength had already shocked her once, and now Yun Yun was saying that he was also an Alchemist.

Yun Yun said, "He's a sixth-tier Alchemist!" Nalan Yanran sucked in a breath. At the same age, did she even deserve the word genius? At that moment, a sense of inferiority rose in her heart.

Seeing Nalan Yanran's dejected expression, Yun Yun smiled. "No need to compare yourself to him. Learn from your teacher. Once you've been struck down enough times, you stop caring so much." At this point, even if Xiao Tian broke through to Dou Zong or Dou Zun, I probably would not be that surprised anymore.

A while later, Yun Yun brought Nalan Yanran to the inn where Xiao Tian and the others were staying. While Xiao Tian was disciplining Lu Man, he sensed Yun Yun's aura. After freezing for a moment, he quickly released Lu Man and headed outside. Lu Man had sensed Yun Yun's aura as well, and she shot Xiao Tian an embarrassed, furious glare.

Xiao Tian completely ignored her look, straightened himself up, and walked outside. When he saw Yun Yun had brought Nalan Yanran along, he was puzzled and felt that this could not be good. Just as Xiao Tian was wondering what was going on, Yun Yun spoke.

"Xiao Tian, refine one Azure Spirit Pill and two Purple Heart Breakthrough Pills for Yan Ran!" Yun Yun got straight to the point. Hearing her tone, Xiao Tian knew he had no choice but to refine them. It seemed she wanted to raise Nalan Yanran's strength!

Xiao Tian said nothing and turned to enter his room. After seeing him walk into the room, Nalan Yanran looked at Yun Yun, thinking he had refused. "He has gone to refine them for you. We only need to wait here for a while," Yun Yun said with certainty.

Nalan Yanran did not know Xiao Tian well enough. She had only seen him turn around and enter a room without saying anything, so she assumed he had refused. After all, Alchemists all had their strange tempers, especially a high-tier Alchemist like Xiao Tian!

Yun Yun led Nalan Yanran toward Lu Man's room. Lu Man was just about to come out when she saw Yun Yun entering and asked, "Didn't Xiao Tian go out? Why did you come over here?" Yun Yun said, "He's refining pills for Yan Ran, so we came here. Where's Qing Lin?"

Lu Man said, "Qing Lin is cultivating in her own room, preparing to break through to a five-star Dou Ling." "Oh, is that so? Xiao Tian is already enough of a freak, but Qing Lin is the same. Such talent—terrifying, truly terrifying," Yun Yun said.

Meanwhile, in another room, Xiao Tian refined pills with an unhappy expression. So he had become someone who refined pills for other people now? No, I need to find an alchemy slave. I cannot keep personally handling such trivial matters.

An hour later, one Azure Spirit Pill with three pill patterns and two Purple Heart Breakthrough Pills had been successfully refined. Xiao Tian walked toward Lu Man's room.

The moment he entered, he tossed the pills over. When Nalan Yanran caught the bottle, she asked, "What are these?" "Two Purple Heart Breakthrough Pills and one Three-Patterned Green Spirit Pill."

Nalan Yanran sucked in a breath. Such precious pills, and Xiao Tian had just casually tossed them over! And he really had gone to refine pills for her. She said to Xiao Tian, "Thank you." "No need. It's nothing. Just have your teacher thank me properly tonight," Xiao Tian said with a wicked grin.

Nalan Yanran looked confused. Was it not enough for her to thank him? Why did it have to be her teacher? Then she turned and saw Yun Yun's face instantly flush red. She seemed to understand something and thought, What a lecher!

Yun Yun glared at Xiao Tian, grabbed Nalan Yanran, and left without saying another word to him.

Watching Yun Yun pull Nalan Yanran outside, Xiao Tian felt quite annoyed. She had a disciple now, so she no longer cared about her man? But when he spotted Lu Man trying to slip away, he immediately tossed that irritation aside.

He teleported in front of Lu Man. With a wicked grin, he said, "Let's continue what we were doing just now~ Hehe." Lu Man said, "I-I'm warning you, I'll tell Yun Yun! I..." "Mmph... mm..."

Meanwhile, after leaving the inn, Yun Yun took Nalan Yanran back to the Nalan Family and found a quiet place for her to begin refining the pills.

What do you think Xiao Tian and Lu Man were doing?
