At this moment, in the Misty Cloud Sect's Sect Side Hall.
Several Ever-Bright Lamps were lit within the hall.
Yun Yun sat cross-legged on a cushion by the window, her eyes closed as she meditated.
She wore a plain white robe, her long black hair gathered behind her. She wore no makeup, yet her face was still impossible to look away from.
Ever since Medusa had severely wounded her in the Snake-People Tribe and Lu Heng had saved her, Yun Yun had returned to the Misty Cloud Sect to enter seclusion and recover. At the same time, she reflected on the gap between herself and a Dou Zong during that battle.
Her injuries had now recovered by seventy or eighty percent, but Gu He's death and her own miserable state had stirred some discussion within the Misty Cloud Sect. Yun Yun had not told them that the Queen Medusa had already broken through to the Seventh Rank.
Just then, Nalan Yanran's voice came from outside the door.
"Teacher."
Nalan Yanran pushed open the door, entered, and bowed.
Yun Yun opened her eyes. Seeing that it was her disciple, she gave a slight nod.
"What is it?"
Nalan Yanran knelt across from her and first recounted her trip to the Miteer Auction House to seek medicine. Then, after hesitating for a moment, she brought up another matter.
"Teacher, I saw someone at the entrance of the Miteer Auction House today."
"Who?"
"More than two years ago, when I followed the sect to Wutan City to annul the engagement, I encountered a young Dou Wang at the city gate. Elder Ge Ye said at the time that he was extremely powerful, perhaps even stronger than Great Elder Yun Leng."
Nalan Yanran paused before continuing.
"Today, that person appeared in the Imperial Capital."
