The moment Yun Yun saw Yang Shan again, she lost her composure and unconsciously stood up. "Yang..."

"Young Master Yang!"

Nalan Yanran, who was behind Yun Yun, quickly walked up to Yang Shan and said, "Young Master Yang, you're finally back."

Yang Shan chatted with Nalan Yanran for a few minutes, occasionally glancing at Yun Yun.

That look was probably saying:

"I'm being bothered by your apprentice!"

"Snort!"

Yun Yun gave a soft hum and slowly sat down.

She tried to avoid watching Yang Shan and Nalan Yanran's interactions to avoid feeling uncomfortable.

But then she saw Nalan Jie, the head of the Nalan Family, sitting next to her, staring at Yang Shan and Nalan Yanran, chuckling incessantly. Yun Yun felt even more uncomfortable. Finally, she gritted her teeth and spoke:

"Yanran, we're in a meeting right now. Be mindful of your behavior. If there's anything, we can talk about it after the meeting."

"Oh"

Nalan Yanran then realized that her behavior was somewhat inappropriate and quickly slipped back behind Yun Yun.

When Yang Shan appeared, not only Nalan Jie, but everyone present wore a smile.

Yang Shan had previously defeated Yun Shan in the Serpent-People tribe, and the news had already reached the Jia Ma Empire.

With Yang Shan around, at least Yun Shan does have someone who can hold them off.

Although Misty Cloud Sect still has one Dou Zong, the pressure is much less compared to facing two Dou Zong at the same time before.

As the Old Ancestor of the Imperial Family, Jia Xingtian took the initiative to stand up. "True Lord Yang, it's been a long time, you still have the same charm!"

Jia Xingtian gave Great Princess Yao Ye a wink.

Yao Ye immediately went to fetch a chair and placed it next to Jia Xingtian's seat. "True Lord Yang, please sit down!"

In high-level meetings, the position of the chair can subtly indicate one's status.

Arranging Yang Shan's seat in the second position was already the highest level of treatment Jia Xingtian could offer.

We can't let Yang Shan sit in the main seat and make this Imperial Family Old Ancestor go to the second seat, can we?

"Thank you very much Elder Jia."

After thanking him, Yang Shan walked over from the other side. When he passed Mitier's area, he stopped and bowed, saying, "Elder Hai, Senior Teng Shan, it's been a long time."

Hai Bodong laughed loudly, "Hahaha, you young lad, you actually know how to give this old man face at such a young age! Good, very good!"

Compared to Jia Xingtian, Hai Bodong and Yang Shan had a much better relationship, so Hai Bodong could still call Yang Shan "boy" without any hesitation.

Mitier Tengshan stood to the side, his eyes narrowed into slits with laughter, and he deliberately turned his face towards Nalan Jie, as if showing off:

"Old man, do you think I don't know what you're up to? Our Mitier's Ya Fei has already won over Yang Shan! Your precious granddaughter will have to be a concubine if she comes! She'll have to step aside!"

Nalan Jie saw this and was furious, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

As the only player on the Heaven Ranking in the entire server, Yang Shan was highly sought after by all the leaders of the major powers in the Jia Ma Empire.

If any family's daughter is lucky enough to get together with Yang Shan, she will immediately be far ahead of other forces!

With the addition of Hai Bodong, the Mittel Family has become the head of the three major families.

Everyone knows about the relationship between Ya Fei and Yang Shan.

With Yang Shan as their "son-in-law," the Mittel Family already has the right to directly challenge the Imperial Family! The head of the Mu Family, Old Master Mu Chen, decided to go back and give all his good-for-nothing sons a good beating.

If he's not capable, fine, but at least he should have a few beautiful and sensible daughters! Look at Mitier! Yang Shan can already hold his own against Yun Shan now; what will he be like in a few years?

Even an old-fashioned man like Nalan Jie was willing to send his granddaughter to compete for the title, but there wasn't a single pretty girl among the direct descendants of the third generation of his Mu Family!

There were many pretty young girls in the collateral branches, but they had all been taken advantage of by the group of young men (players) who joined the Mu Family in recent years! After chatting with Hai Bodong and Mitier Tengshan for a few minutes, Yang Shan finally walked up to Yun Yun.

Yun Yun was somewhat flustered:

"Your seat is over there."

Yang Shan casually grabbed the chair that Yao Ye had brought earlier and sucked it up.

The chair landed next to Yun Yun.

Yang Shan tossed his cloak aside and sat down with an air of dominance.

His words were even more assertive. "You guys continue talking, I'm here to support Yun Yun!"

Yun Yun's heart skipped a beat.

Yang Shan is getting bolder and bolder; he dares not to call her "senior" in public anymore!

Jia Xingtian's smile was somewhat stiff:

"Little Friend Yang Shan, I don't quite understand what you mean by that."

Yang Shan: "Yun Yun wants to regain control of the Misty Cloud Sect, and that's why I'm here. I think your current situation shouldn't conflict with my purpose."

Jia Xingtian's face turned cold. "So, if Yun Yun takes back the Misty Cloud Sect, then Little Friend Yang Shan is considered a member of the Misty Cloud Sect?"

As the Old Ancestor of the Imperial Family, Jia Xingtian's stance was naturally different from that of other forces.

Before the upheaval at the Misty Cloud Sect, the highest ruling power in the Jia Ma Empire was the Imperial Family! Now, Misty Cloud Sect is in this state.

If Yun Yun had Yang Shan's backing, she would still be qualified to threaten the Imperial Family family's position after regaining control of the Misty Cloud Sect.

Jia Xingtian had no choice but to consider this matter! Yang Shan sensed the probing in Jia Xingtian's words, so he simply replied, "My ambition lies in the Central Plains!"

Jia Xingtian breathed a sigh of relief, "I see. True Lord Yang, then let Sect Master Yun Yun explain the current situation to you!"

When it comes to serious matters, Yun Yun always seems very serious.

Yun Yun explained it to Yang Shan in great detail.

In the past, Yun Yun was rather indifferent and didn't care much about many things.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have allowed Yun Leng to wield so much real power within the Misty Cloud Sect.

But now, Yun Yun's goal is to set the Misty Cloud Sect right.

Yun Yun kept talking, Yang Shan kept nodding.

Yang Shan's answers can be roughly divided into three categories: Oh, I see.

It's a bit tricky.

Yes, your analysis is correct! Yang Shan's answer seemed perfunctory, but his expression was extremely serious.

Yun Yun didn't know why, perhaps because she was too close to Yang Shan, her face turned red without her realizing it.

Fearing that others would see through her, Yun Yun briefly concluded her statement and raised the urgent dilemma that needed to be addressed. "That Mister E, and the mysterious Dou Zong who is responsible for protecting him, helped the Misty Cloud Sect acquire six large resource points in three days. Now the Misty Cloud Sect has twelve large resource points, while we only have three left."

"Our concern is that if we send all our strongest fighters to surround and kill Mister E and his guards, and Yun Shan takes the opportunity to arrive with a large number of people, we will be completely unable to resist."

Yang Shan pretended to be serious and said, "That Mister E, I have fought with him in the Black-Corner Region and know some of his background! I will handle this matter. You all hold back and wait for my news."

After the meeting, Yang Shan declined the invitation to dinner with Hai Bodong and Mitier Tengshan.

He always stayed by Yun Yun's side.

Of course, Nalan Yanran was still as clueless as ever.

Yang Shan was on Yun Yun's left, Nalan Yanran was on her right!

Yang Shan really doesn't need Nalan Yanran to help him this time. With a favorability rating of 60+, if it can be increased by helping others, then that favorability rating is really worthless! But Yun Yun doesn't seem to have any intention of sending Nalan Yanran away.

Yang Shan could only say:

"Miss Nalan, I have some important matters I would like to discuss with Senior Yun Yun."

Nalan Yanran stopped and asked curiously:

"What's wrong?"

Yang Shan: "Regarding Yun Shan, I fought against Yun Shan before in the Serpent-People tribe."

Nalan Yanran: "Yun Shan can also be considered my Grandmaster."

Yang Shan smiled bitterly:

"Don't reopen your master's wounds. Hurry up and go cultivate. You're only One Star Dou Huang and you're already slacking off?"

Nalan Yanran couldn't argue with Yang Shan: "Fine, even One Star Dou Huang can be looked down upon. Then Master, I'll go back to the family first."

Yun Yun nodded. "Okay, go ahead."

Yang Shan watched Nalan Yanran's departing figure and sighed for no apparent reason:

"Ah, Miss Nalan can still go home."

Yun Yun glared at Yang Shan: "You just said that Yanran shouldn't reopen my wounds, so you can do that?"

Yang Shan: "I'm not trying to reopen old wounds."

"Then why did you suddenly say that?"

"Let's go back to your yard first and talk about it."

After saying that, Yang Shan put his hands behind his back and walked ahead on his own.

Yun Yun was curious about what Yang Shan was really up to.

Upon arriving in the courtyard, Yang Shan said, "Let's go to the bedroom."

Yun Yun had been speculating about what secret Yang Shan wanted to tell Nalan Yanran after sending her away.

Yun Yun Yun clearly getting angry. "Yang Shan, do you think that just because you're backing me up, I have to do something for you? What kind of person do you take me for?"

[Ding! Player, please note that your actions have given Yun Yun a negative impression of you. Yun Yun's favorability towards you has decreased by 2 points. Current favorability: 62.]

Yang Shan glared at Yun Yun: "You're a Six Star Dou Emperor, and you still have dark circles under your eyes? Yun Yun, have you slept at all lately?"

Yun Yun was somewhat at a loss, even lowering her head and not daring to face Yang Shan directly. "Ah? I, do I have dark circles under my eyes?"

Yang Shan walked up to Yun Yun Yun grabbed her hand. "Come on, go get some sleep."

Yun Yun was so frightened that she struggled repeatedly:

"No, I won't sleep with you. We can't now."

Yang Shan then turned to look at Yun Yun and sighed, "Senior Yun Yun, can't you be a little simple-minded? I didn't say we were going to sleep together."

Yun Yun: "."

Seeing that Yun Yun had stopped struggling, Yang Shan pulled Yun Yun to the bedside in the bedroom:

"Lie down."

Yun Yun was completely bewildered by Yang Shan.

But Yun Yun has a 62-point favorability rating towards Yang Shan!

Even with such a beautiful atmosphere, Yun Yun still chose to believe.

"Take off... take off your clothes?"

Yang Shan: "I'll stay by your side anyway. If you don't mind, you can take your clothes off."

"I won't take it off!"

Yun Yun clutched her collar tightly. "Why are you sleeping next to me?"

Yang Shan moved a chair to the bedside and said calmly, "Now, besides me, who else can you lean on? With me by your side, you can sleep more peacefully."

Yun Yun was surprised:

"You deliberately sent Yanran away just for this?"

"What else can we do? If Miss Nalan Miss Nalan sees the two of us spending a whole day in the bedroom, then she'll have to start calling me 'Master-in-law' from now on?"

"Master."

Yun Yun began to fantasize in her mind that if she really got together with Yang Shan one day, Nalan Yanran would look at her master with jealous eyes, and then grit her teeth and call Yang Shan "Master-in-law".

Yang Shan, as if to make matters worse, asked again, "Senior Yun Yun, why is your face so red? Can Dou Huang expert get a fever?"

Yun Yun was both embarrassed and angry. "I've already got dark circles under my eyes from staying up all night, so what if I have a fever? I'm not going to argue with you anymore, I'm going to rest!"

Yun Yun even used the "Flying Floss Movement Technique" to pounce onto the bed.

Yang Shan looked at the trembling figure on the bed and mentally gave it a thumbs up.

It's incredibly bouncy! Of course, Yang Shan was referring to the bed's elasticity, not anything else. Yun Yun's emotions at this moment were so complex that she herself couldn't even sort them out.

She could only bury her head in the pillow, and despite wearing her outdoor clothes, she still wrapped herself tightly in the blankets.

After an unknown amount of time, Yun Yun cautiously spoke:

"Yang Shan, how long will you stay by my side?"

Yang Shan laughed and said, "What, you want me to stay with you until we grow old?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun jolted awake, turned over, and stared blankly at Yang Shan:

"You, I actually, that's not what I meant."

Yang Shan remained silent.

No matter what Yun Yun says or asks next, Yang Shan has no intention of saying anything more.

He just looked at Yun Yun.

The atmosphere has already been set up to this point; Yun Yun will fill in the rest in her imagination.

"I... I'm going to sleep!"

Yun Yun quickly turned her back to Yang Shan, but she could still feel that Yang Shan's gaze was fixed on her.

The panic in her heart was so intense that even silently reciting the "Heart Cleansing Incantation," a method used by the Misty Cloud Sect to aid in calming the mind during cultivation, couldn't quell it.

Yun Yun couldn't help but wonder when exactly Yang Shan had taken root in her heart.

Was it during their first meeting that he accidentally injured her? Or was it when she defeated Nalan Yanran, a disciple she was so proud of, with her stunning swordsmanship? Or was it when he carried her around the Magical Beast Mountain Range and fled?

Or was it when facing a formidable enemy that he uttered the words "My Yun Yun"? It was a display of Deadly Poison, enduring the deadly poison until the enemy left, and finally collapsing into her arms!

It was to rescue her from the Misty Cloud Sect, and to face the Dou Zong's back alone!

It was when Jia Xingtian was about to sue for peace at the meeting that he kicked open the door and forcefully stood up for her!

Now, forcibly drag her to the bedroom, stay by her side, and let her get a good night's sleep.

When Yun Yun first started thinking, she was filled with doubt.

But the more I thought about it, the more determined I became!

Yun Yun has been really exhausted lately.

The heavy burden on her shoulders made it hard for her to breathe.

She has always been strong.

But she's only human, and she'll always have vulnerable spots in her heart.

To save the Misty Cloud Sect, she must fight against her master.

As the master, she naturally couldn't tell her disciples what was on her mind.

Although Nalan Yanran has become more composed after experiencing some things, talking to Nalan Yanran about these things would only increase her pressure and worries.

With Yang Shan by her side, she truly felt that the bed was indeed soft and comfortable, and could help her fall asleep.

She seemed to have returned to her childhood.

At that time, she was just Junior Sister in the Misty Cloud Sect.

Although cultivation is a bit tough, I feel at peace every day.

"I probably won't meet someone like that again, right?"

Thinking of this, Yun Yun turned over again.

Yang Shan was sitting on the edge of the bed, pretending to be asleep.

He naturally knew that Yun Yun had turned her life around.

It's normal to turn over while sleeping.

But the delicate touch of her lips... "Please don't open your eyes."

Yun Yun's mouth must have been closed, so she could only transmit sound.

In that instant, all players on the server received a system message: [Global Announcement: Congratulations to player "Yang Shan" for successfully capturing the heart of the important character "Yun Yun" from the original novel! System reward: +20 Good Fortune!]

[Attention all players: From now on, players who are not of the same gender or NPCs will not be able to gain more than 69 points of favorability with "Yun Yun". This rule will be lifted when the favorability between player "Yang Shan" and "Yun Yun" drops below 70.]
