Why is this silly disciple so dense?

Hearing Yun Yun's words, Yun Shan furrowed his brows.

He could hardly bring up such a matter in a straightforward manner.

Doing so would make him, the teacher, appear far too improper.

His beloved disciple might even secretly curse him for failing to act with the dignity befitting his station.

Yun Shan was well aware of this disciple's personality.

If he asked her to take the initiative, she would undoubtedly refuse without a moment's hesitation.

This matter had to be handled slowly, progressing step by step until the outcome naturally fell into place.

After pondering for a moment, Yun Shan finally spoke: "Yun Yun, for an expert like Boss Ye, conventional methods of solicitation will certainly be useless. You must employ an unconventional strategy to be effective."

"An unconventional strategy?"

Hearing this, a look of confusion appeared in Yun Yun's beautiful eyes: "What kind of strategy?"

"An expert like Boss Ye possesses heaven-defying strength and countless treasures. In my view, his opening of this so-called shop is merely a way to amuse himself in the mortal world."

Yun Shan slowly voiced his perspective.

"Therefore, worldly things like treasures, wealth, or cultivation techniques will surely fail to move him."

Yun Shan pointed out to Yun Yun: "For a person like this, there is only one way to gain his favor."

Yun Yun's eyes revealed a flicker of curiosity: "What way?"

Yun Shan looked at Yun Yun and slowly uttered two words: "Sincerity."

"Sincerity?"

Yun Yun remained deeply puzzled.

A trace of helplessness flashed in Yun Shan's eyes as he said: "Let it be. Just do as your teacher instructs."

"Later, send someone to the back mountain to catch a Cloud-Colored Chicken and prepare a pot of chicken soup. Deliver it to Boss Ye tonight and tell him it is a specialty of our Misty Cloud Sect, specifically prepared for him to taste," Yun Shan advised.

"Make chicken soup?"

Hearing this, Yun Yun was stunned, and a look of embarrassment immediately appeared on her pretty face: "This... Teacher, this disciple does not know how to cook..."

She had never stepped foot in a kitchen; how could she possibly know how to make chicken soup?

"If you don't know how to cook, find someone who does. When the time comes, just tell him you made it yourself. Boss Ye won't know the difference anyway," Yun Shan said bluntly.

"Teacher, I fear that might not be right, would it?"

Hearing this, a look of hesitation appeared on Yun Yun's face, and she felt somewhat troubled.

Her teacher had just spoken of showing sincerity, yet in the blink of an eye, he wanted her to deceive Boss Ye. Was this what he called sincerity?

"What is not right about it?"

Yun Shan glared at Yun Yun, inwardly sighing that his disciple was good at everything except being too honest.

Since ancient times, schemes have won hearts, and Yun Shan considered himself well-versed in this art.

Back in the day, it was through various schemes that he won his own teacher's favor, which allowed him to successfully ascend to the position of Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect.

In this day and age, human hearts are too complex; without a few schemes, one can barely move an inch.

Take this morning, for example. If he hadn't schemed against the Great Elder and the others, would he have had to obediently wait in line at the back?

It was a pity that his disciple would never learn these schemes, which was why even after becoming the Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect, she was still being tightly manipulated by her subordinates.

"The method I am teaching you is absolutely correct. Just follow it," Yun Shan said, looking at Yun Yun with a sense of disappointment.

Seeing her teacher's insistence, Yun Yun could only nod helplessly: "Yes, Teacher."

"Remember, to express our sincerity, it would be best if you bathe, change your clothes, and dress up properly before delivering the soup. That will better demonstrate our sincerity," Yun Shan instructed.

Yun Yun frowned, feeling somewhat reluctant. She had never cared for dressing up and usually went out without any makeup, but seeing Yun Shan's serious expression, she dared not defy her teacher's orders and obediently agreed.

Seeing Yun Yun agree, Yun Shan nodded with satisfaction, a faint smile appearing on his face.

He was quite confident in his disciple's beauty; even when she went out without makeup, she was still a stunning sight.

Didn't that brat Gu Gu secretly harbor feelings for his precious disciple?

Even that mysterious Boss Ye could not remain immune, staring at her with such infatuation.

If she dressed up properly, her charm would naturally be even greater.

Yun Shan felt secretly smug; he refused to believe that this Boss Ye could hold his ground.

At this moment, Nalan Yanran, who was standing to the side, heard this and her eyes lit up as she chimed in: "Teacher, I will accompany you tonight."

Thinking of the Instant Noodles she had eaten during the day, Nalan Yanran still felt a lingering craving.

If she went over tonight, perhaps she could mooch another bowl of Instant Noodles?

Moreover, she also wanted to build a good relationship with this Boss Ye.

It would be best if she could get his contact information.

After all, this Boss Ye had stated that he would only be staying here for three days.

In other words, once tomorrow passed, Boss Ye would be leaving.

If she didn't have a way to contact him, how would she be able to find him to open more jars in the future?

"What are you going there for, you little brat?"

"You are not allowed to go."

Hearing this, Yun Shan frowned.

Yun Shan thought to himself that this Boss Ye clearly favored his disciple's type.

He certainly wouldn't have any interest in a little brat like Nalan Yanran.

He had gone to such lengths to create a private moment for the two of them; if this little brat Yanran went, wouldn't it just ruin the mood?

Upon hearing this, Nalan Yanran felt somewhat disappointed and aggrieved, wondering what being a little brat had to do with anything.

However, seeing the stern expression on Yun Shan's face, she felt a bit afraid and could only nod obediently, feeling a pang of regret that she wouldn't be able to mooch some of Boss Ye's instant noodles tonight.

"Yun'er, you go and get busy."

"Remember to bring a pot of fine wine; go to the sect treasury and take the Hundred Spirit Medicinal Wine I treasured years ago. Boss Ye should like it."

Yun Shan instructed Yun Yun.

That Hundred Spirit Medicinal Wine was something he had hidden in the treasury over a decade ago, infused with over a dozen rare medicinal herbs and possessing potent properties; today, for the sake of his plan's success, he was willing to part with it.

Yun Yun nodded, then slowly departed from the great hall.

Inside the pavilion, Ye Yun sat cross-legged in silence, as still as a monk in meditation.

A sharp, domineering sword intent radiated from Ye Yun's body.

It was unknown how much time had passed.

Ye Yun finally opened his eyes slowly, a faint glimmer of sword light flashing through his pitch-black pupils.

"Ghost-Slaying True Art and Myriad Sword Art—they truly live up to their reputation as top-tier sword techniques from Zhu Xian; their power is indeed extraordinary."

Recalling the contents within his mind, the corners of Ye Yun's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a hint of excitement as he praised them inwardly.

By now, he had mastered three sword techniques: the God Elephant Prison-Suppressing Force, the Ghost-Slaying Sword Art, and the Myriad Sword Art. All three could be unleashed through the Dragon Slaying Sword.

These were currently his most powerful means of attack.

After finishing all the jars, Ye Yun took a cup of instant noodles out from the system space, preparing to have a simple late-night snack before returning to his cultivation.

"Boss Ye, are you asleep?"

"I've brought some chicken soup over; I wonder if Boss Ye would do me the honor?"

Just then, Ye Yun suddenly heard a voice calling from outside.

Yun Yun?
