Nalan Yanran arrives

Xiao Yu was too lazy to argue with Ling Lin any longer. He looked up at the maid and said, "Don't you understand the rule of first come, first served? But if there really aren't any rooms available, I won't force you!"

The maid's eyes were filled with difficulty. She could only lean close to the second young lady's ear and whisper, "Second young lady, the person opposite is Second-grade Alchemist. Should we ask Manager Mo Feng for instructions?"

Upon hearing the maid's words, Ling Lin's lips twitched. Such a young Second-grade Alchemist must have some influence behind him. She wasn't stupid and didn't want to cause trouble for her family at this time.

Seeing Ling Lin's hesitant expression, the maid knew that the second young lady had made up her mind. She smiled apologetically at Xiao Yu and said, "Guest, please wait a moment. I'll go and ask Manager Mo Feng for instructions and I'll be back soon!"

Xiao Yu glanced at Ling Lin, whose attitude seemed somewhat uncertain, but said nothing. A moment later, the maid brought back a middle-aged man, who should be the manager Mo Feng she had mentioned!

When Mo Feng came out, he saw Ling Lin standing in the hall, looking somewhat hesitant. After hearing the maid's report that Ling Lin had not clashed with the young Second-grade Alchemist again, he felt a little relieved.

"Hehe, young brother, all the inns in Yan City have been booked by our Mo Family these past few days. If you don't mind, I'll make the arrangements. I'll have two of the most luxurious rooms prepared for you two immediately, as an apology. How about that?" Mo Feng spoke shrewdly, glancing at the figure standing behind Xiao Yu as he spoke.

Mo Feng would never believe that such a young Second-grade Alchemist didn't have a powerful teacher as a backer. Showing goodwill to Xiao Yu was a way of showing goodwill to the strength behind him. The noble status of alchemists on the continent was enough to make Mo Feng treat him with caution. Even if the other party didn't accept it, he absolutely couldn't offend him!

Xiao Yu naturally didn't care what the middle-aged man was thinking. Since someone was now offering him benefits, he had no reason not to accept them. Besides, he was going to have a conflict with the Mo Family tomorrow, so this was just interest from the Mo Family!

"Lead the way!" Xiao Yu said casually as he walked towards the stairwell without any formalities.

Hai Bodong naturally didn't say much, just follow Xiao Yu. Mo Feng was slightly taken aback, then quickly came to his senses, comforted Ling Lin, and hurriedly followed.

The people sitting in the hall whispered among themselves as they watched Xiao Yu's retreating figure, wondering what kind of background this young man had that even the Mo Family didn't want to offend. However, after glancing at the Mo Family's second young lady still standing in the hall, they dared not say anything more.

Several young men standing behind Ling Lin said indignantly, "Ling Lin, what's this kid's background? Why is Uncle Mo Feng so respectful? Isn't that a bit too much?"

Ling Lin turned and glanced at them, coldly saying, "Alright, stop embarrassing yourselves here. You don't need to know who he is. You should mind your own business!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the faces of the young men standing next to Ling Lin were not very pleasant. However, given Ling Lin's status, even they did not dare to contradict her and could only suppress their anger.

"Hehe, Ling Lin, it's been a few years, and you've quite the air of the Mo Family's Little Princess!" Just as the group was stunned, a clear, melodious laugh, like that of an ethereal ancient bell, suddenly came from the main entrance.

Upon hearing this voice, everyone immediately turned their attention to the entrance, where a graceful, moon-white dress slowly came into view.

After recognizing the person Ling Lin hurriedly skipped over, her cheerful voice ringing out, "Sister Nalan, what brings you here too?"

The visitor was none other than Nalan Yanran, who had come to Yan City. After three years, Nalan Yanran had matured considerably from the naive young girl she once was. A smile graced her exquisite face, exuding a reserved and noble air that was neither cold nor aloof.

She gently patted Ling Lin's head, a slight smile appearing on her face, captivating all who saw it. "The Mo Family and the Misty Cloud Sect are on good terms. I happen to be going home to take care of some matters, so I'm here on behalf of the Misty Cloud Sect. What, aren't you welcome?"

"Not at all, how could we not welcome Sister Nalan? We just didn't expect you to come down from Misty Cloud Mountain in person. If Father and the others knew, they would be very happy!" Ling Lin said with a delighted smile.

Following Nalan Yanran down the mountain was Ge Ye. After greeting Nalan Yanran, Ling Lin smiled sweetly at Ge Ye and said, "Mr. Ge Ye!"

"Hehe, it's been years, and Ling Lin has become even more beautiful." The old man, known as Ge Ye, nodded with a smile.

Hearing Ge Ye's praise, Ling Lin's pretty face flushed slightly. She affectionately hugged Nalan Yanran's arm and said, "Now that Sister Nalan has come, our Mo Family will naturally treat her well. We'll have Uncle Mo Feng reserve the most luxurious room for Sister Nalan later."

Nalan Yanran was naturally not surprised by Ling Lin's overtures, and she said softly with a smile, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Sister Ling Lin!"

Ling Lin glanced at the young people who had been crowding around her, but now they were looking at the woman in the moon robe with longing. She frowned slightly and looked at them with disdain.

She muttered to herself, "These arrogant fools, your family's influence is nothing more than a roadside stone in their eyes!"

However, Ling Lin shook her head and stopped thinking about it, leading Nalan Yanran and Ge Ye upstairs.

As the group disappeared at the end of the stairs, whispers arose in the hall like flies buzzing around.

"Tsk tsk, as expected of the direct disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect Master, the Mo Family has really gained face this time!"

"Who can argue with that? To be so young and yet possess such unparalleled beauty, even with my abilities, I can't fathom her true strength. She's truly amazing!"

"Hehe, not only is she beautiful, but she's also the Little Princess of the Misty Cloud Sect and the Nalan Family, and will be the future sect leader of the Misty Cloud Sect. With such power, no one in the Jia Ma Empire can rival her!"

Although the discussions all revolved around Nalan Yanran, she couldn't hear them anymore. She followed Ling Lin towards a luxurious guest room on the third floor, and just as she was about to enter, she ran into Mo Feng was coming out of a room.

At the same time, she also exchanged a glance with Xiao Yu, who was standing at the door. However, under Xiao Yu's wide black robe, she could not see who he was. Moreover, after three years of growth, Nalan Yanran had no idea that this man in black robe was Xiao Yu of the Xiao Clan!

Xiao Yu naturally noticed Nalan Yanran outside and thought to himself, "What a coincidence! I didn't expect to actually run into her!" However, he didn't think much of it and closed the door.

After leaving Xiao Yu's room, Mo Feng saw Nalan Yanran being pulled by Ling Lin. A hint of joy appeared on his face as he said, "I've heard that Miss Nalan Miss Nalan was coming. I didn't expect to meet her so soon. I've already prepared a room for you."

Nalan Yanran chuckled and said, "Thank you for your help Mo Feng!"

"Haha, no trouble at all!" Mo Feng laughed and led Nalan Yanran directly into the room opposite Xiao Yu.
