Yun Yun

Throughout the journey, although Xiao Yuan responded politely, he revealed a deliberate attempt to distance himself, which made Nalan Yanran feel quite bitter.

Soon, the two arrived outside the main hall, but did not rush to go in.

At this moment, Yun Yun was rectifying the atmosphere of the Misty Cloud Sect inside the main hall.

However, Great Elder Yun Leng was clearly not able to see the situation clearly, and even wanted to rely on his seniority.

"Sect Master, is it really necessary to make such a big fuss about this?"

Yun Leng's voice came from inside the main hall.

"Great Elder, there are countless powerful figures on the continent. Although our Misty Cloud Sect can be considered a hegemon in the Jia Ma Empire, there are quite a few forces or experts stronger than Misty Cloud Sect across the entire continent. If we provoke an expert we cannot deal with because of something like the Mo Clan, it will be too late to regret it!"

Yun Yun's voice was cold and aloof, yet carried a resolute and domineering air, which surprised Xiao Yuan.

After all, in his memory, Yun Yun had always been a very gentle person.

"Sect Master is exaggerating a bit. Among the surrounding empires, few forces can rival my Misty Cloud Sect. Where did this powerful figure come from that we can't afford to offend? Moreover, the old sect master is still alive. With him around, it is the Misty Cloud Sect that they can't afford to offend!"

Yun Leng continued stubbornly.

Upon hearing this, Nalan Yanran seemed to have caught on to something and couldn't help but whisper, "The Great Elder is arguing with Teacher again!"

"Just a short-sighted wretch."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan clearly expressed his disgust.

Xiao Yuan naturally felt disgusted by this old dog in the original work who couldn't accept defeat and went to the Xiao Clan to vent his anger. In addition, the fact that this old thing was arguing with Yun Yun at the moment made Xiao Yuan hate him even more.

"Uh, shh, don't say anything!"

Upon hearing this, Nalan Yanran quickly put her finger to her lips and whispered a warning.

She knew Yun Leng's temperament well. Even as the Young Sect Master, she still held Yun Leng, the Great Elder, in a certain awe.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan suppressed his displeasure and shut his mouth.

What Nalan Yanran said makes some sense. At this time, it's best not to provoke the Misty Cloud Sect. It's not too late to show off after you've acquired the title of Young Pavilion Master the Starfall Pavilion and brought along a few Dou Zong elders.

We'll see what kind of face Yun Leng will have then.

As for now, we should keep a low profile. After all, with Yao Lao not around, if we really provoke Yun Shan, we really can't beat him.

We need to be cautious and not do anything reckless. He came to see Yun Yun, not to be a suicide mission.

"The existence of the teacher is the sect's last trump card. If we can act recklessly because of this, then the Misty Cloud Sect will surely face annihilation in the future. Great Elder, I am now the sect master of the Misty Cloud Sect. If you continue to be so stubborn, I have the right to make you hand over the authority of the Great Elder!"

Yun Yun's attitude was surprisingly firm. This stance, combined with the Dou Emperor aura she unleashed, immediately forced Yun Leng to take several steps back, and he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

The Yun Yun of today feels somewhat unfamiliar to him.

In the past, Yun Yun would never have been so assertive.

"In that case, let's do as the sect leader says!"

Seeing Yun Yun's resolute attitude, Yun Leng didn't say anything more. After all, Yun Yun's words did make sense, and even if the old sect leader were called out, he wouldn't be in the right.

With Yun Yun's Dou Emperor level strength, dealing with him, a Dou Wang, would be a piece of cake.

However, the feeling of being forced into this situation did make Yun Leng quite unhappy, so he immediately turned and left with a flick of his sleeve.

They didn't even notice Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yuan at the door.

Seeing this, Nalan Yanran helplessly pouted at Xiao Yuan. Objectively speaking, her girlish and charming appearance, combined with her already beautiful face, should have been extremely pleasing to the eye. If Liu Ling were here, she would probably have hearts in her eyes on the spot.

But Xiao Yuan remained unmoved, his expression indifferent.

Seeing this, Nalan Yanran pouted, looking rather frustrated and a little aggrieved. She lightly stomped her foot and then walked into the main hall.

"Teacher, I'm back."

Nalan Yanran bowed and said softly.

"Nalan Yanran is back. How is she? I heard that the old man's old ailment has been cured?"

Seeing this, Yun Yun suppressed her anger, smiled gently, and walked over, asking...

"Yes, Grandpa's Brand Poison has been completely removed."

Nalan Yanran smiled happily upon hearing this.

"Okay, that's good. By the way, I heard you made a three-year agreement with the young master of the Xiao Clan family? How's it going?"

Yun Yun smiled upon hearing this, and then asked again without leaving a trace.

"I... my engagement has been dissolved."

Nalan Yanran's smile froze upon hearing this, and she said with a slightly annoyed expression.

"Oh, that's great. Uh, I mean, you've got what you wanted, right?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun subconsciously laughed, but quickly suppressed her smile and changed the subject.

Xiao Yuan, who was outside the door, almost burst out laughing when he heard this.

"Sigh, I thought it was a good thing. Who knew... Oh well, teacher, Xiao Yuan said he wants to visit you. You don't mind, do you?"

Although Nalan Yanran found Yun Yun's inexplicable words strange at the beginning, she was too heavy-hearted to analyze the strangeness of the words or talk about the topic anymore, so she simply got straight to the point.

Upon hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in Yun Yun's eyes: He really came! After returning to the sect, with Nalan Yanran leaving, and after the news of Xiao Yuan making Jia Xingtian suffer a setback was sent to the Misty Cloud Sect, Yun Yun belatedly realized Xiao Yuan's identity.

She had been quite conflicted these past few days, but when she heard that Xiao Yuan had come, her joy overcame her inner turmoil.

But she quickly suppressed her joy and then said calmly, "Is this the young master from the Xiao Clan? Okay, let him come."

"He's right outside the hall," Nalan Yanran explained upon hearing this, then turned to look at the door and called out, "Xiao Yuan, come in!"

As Nalan Yanran's voice faded, a figure in white walked in from outside the hall, falling into Yun Yun's surprised gaze.

When Nalan Yanran turned around, Yun Yun had already suppressed the surprise in her eyes, and Xiao Yuan had already come to Nalan Yanran's side.

"Greetings, Sect Master Yun."

Xiao Yuan greeted him with a gentle, refined smile, like a true gentleman.

"So you're Xiao Yuan! You're quite handsome, and your strength is impressive too!"

After saying this, Yun Yun turned her gaze to Nalan Yanran.

To be honest, although she felt relieved, she still couldn't understand what her foolish disciple was thinking. How could she break off the engagement with such an outstanding person? But it was probably for the best. If the engagement had continued, wouldn't she have become the third party interfering in her disciple and her husband's relationship? No, no, Yun Yun Yun, what are you thinking?!

Seeing the surprise in Yun Yun's eyes, Nalan Yanran naturally understood what Yun Yun meant. At that moment, her chest tightened and her face turned pale.

"Teacher, I'm a little tired and I'd like to go and rest for a bit."

Nalan Yanran said with a somewhat forced smile.

"Okay, go quickly."

Yun Yun nodded upon hearing this, her face full of concern.

Upon hearing this, Nalan Yanran bowed and then quickly left the main hall.

She really couldn't stay there any longer.

The look the teacher gave me just now was so hurtful!

Watching Nalan Yanran leave, Yun Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief. Turning her gaze back, she saw Xiao Yuan looking at her strangely. So she frowned slightly and said, "What kind of look is that?"

"Did you do it on purpose or by accident?"

Xiao Yuan asked meaningfully.

"What?"

Yun Yun blinked and asked, looking very puzzled.

"Send Nalan Yanran away."

Xiao Yuan continued.

"What do you mean? Didn't Nalan Yanran she wasn't feeling well?"

Yun Yun felt that Xiao Yuan might have some misunderstanding about her.

"Alright, looks like it was an accident."

Xiao Yuan knew that Yun Yun wasn't that kind of person, but seeing her serious expression, he couldn't say anything more and immediately ended the unimportant topic.

What are you doing here?

Yun Yun's heart began to ache again. She deliberately maintained a certain distance and asked in a calm tone.

"I'm leaving the Jia Ma Empire. Before I go, I'm coming to see you."

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Yuan slowly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun's expression immediately darkened. After a moment of silence, she asked, "Are you going to the Jia Nan Academy? When will you be back?"

"In two or three years, I'll break through to the Dou Emperor as soon as possible and come back to find you. How about we travel the continent together then?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan thought for a moment, then looked into Yun Yun's eyes and said earnestly.

"No, please don't come back, otherwise I won't be able to face Nalan Yanran in the future."

Seeing Xiao Yuan's serious gaze, Yun Yun's inner turmoil turned into panic. Her eyes darted around, and she spoke with great uncertainty.

"Hehe, I have nothing to do with her now. To be honest, my relationship with you is much better than my relationship with her."

Xiao Yuan said dismissively.

"That won't do either. I am the sect leader and cannot leave the sect."

Yun Yun shook her head, having found yet another good reason.

"Then you should tell Nalan Yanran to work hard and take over your job as soon as possible, then she can come with me."

Xiao Yuan's words struck a chord with Yun Yun, but although she was also tempted, she couldn't show too much enthusiasm. So she could only snort and say, "Hmph, you wish!"

"Hehe, no matter how beautiful my imagination is, it can't compare to Sister Yun's beauty!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan smiled and made a teasing remark.

"Hmph, you've learned quite a few sweet words in just a few days. Your relationship with that Ya Fei is quite special, isn't it?"

Not to be outdone, Yun Yun took a step forward, leaning slightly forward until her nose almost touched Xiao Yuan's, and asked with a slightly unfriendly expression.

"My relationship with Sister Ya Fei is indeed special. Is Sister Yun jealous?"

A smile appeared on Xiao Yuan's face as he stared into Yun Yun's eyes and said softly.

Yun Yun was ultimately too shy to stand up to Xiao Yuan, that shameless little thief. She took a step back, turned her pretty face away, pouted, and simply ignored Xiao Yuan.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan stepped forward and grabbed Yun Yun's hands.

"Yuan Xiao, how dare you!"

Yun Yun blushed instantly and hurriedly tried to pull her hand away, but she couldn't escape the clutches of the person in front of her.

It's hard to believe that a Dou Huang expert could be so easily controlled by a Da Dou Shi.

"Is this considered presumptuous?"

Xiao Yuan raised an eyebrow, then suddenly leaned forward and kissed the pretty face that had turned away.

It tastes good, both fragrant and soft.

"You, you, you!"

Yun Yun finally pulled her hand away, covering her pretty face with shame and indignation.

How could you do this?!

After a long pause, she finally managed to utter this sentence in a huff.

"Isn't that what you meant when you turned your face towards me?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan pretended to be deep in thought, then frowned and asked in a serious tone.

"You're shameless!"

Yun Yun scolded playfully.

"Isn't that right? Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I misunderstood Sister Yun. I thought you were playing hard to get!"

Xiao Yuan's attitude in admitting his mistake was extremely sincere, but Yun Yun felt that he was just being hypocritical after getting the benefit.

Hateful!

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll throw you out!"

She feigned a fierce "threat," her palm brimming with intense Dou Qi.

"No, no, no, I surrender!"

Xiao Yuan immediately raised both hands.

Seeing Xiao Yuan's helpless expression, Yun Yun couldn't help but smile, and the Dou Qi in her palm dissipated.

"I just can't do anything with you!"

Yun Yun shook her head helplessly, then took out a lot of cultivation resources from her Storage Ring and pushed them to Xiao Yuan with her Dou Qi.

"You need resources for your cultivation. These are some things I prepared for you privately. Take them and use them. Don't rush your cultivation. Take your time. I will be waiting for you to come back at the Misty Cloud Sect."

Yun Yun spoke with a gentle smile and a soft voice.

Looking at the bottles, jars, and scrolls in front of him, Xiao Yuan's originally lighthearted mood became quite heavy.

"Sister Yun".

His voice also became dry.

"Keep it; consider it a parting gift from me."

Yun Yun said gently.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan put away the resources, then strode forward and pulled her into his arms.

Suddenly pulled into Xiao Yuan's arms, Yun Yun's body stiffened slightly, but she could sense Xiao Yuan's emotions, so she did not struggle and let Xiao Yuan hold her.

"Sister Yun, when I return, I will have become a true powerhouse. At that time, nothing and no one will be able to stand in our way!"

Hearing Xiao Yuan's firm tone, a gentle light flashed in Yun Yun's eyes, and she reached out and hugged Xiao Yuan as well.

"Okay, I'm waiting for that day to come. I believe that day is not far away."

Yun Yun said softly.

"Yes, it won't be far, I promise."

Xiao Yuan said with unwavering determination.
