"Yanran... when did you get here?" Yun Yun asked with a hint of nervousness, stammering like a mistress caught by the wife.
Nalan Yanran did not dare deceive Yun Yun and could only answer honestly, "I secretly followed you not long after Master came out."
Nalan Yanran offered up her sword with both hands, lowered her head, and said humbly, "Yanran should not have eavesdropped on Master's conversation. I beg Master to punish me!"
Yun Yun had a headache. Going by Nalan Yanran's words, she had watched the entire conversation between her and Xiao Fan. Fortunately, the barrier had kept Nalan Yanran from hearing what they said earlier.
Looking at Nalan Yanran standing ramrod straight, Yun Yun merely sighed faintly. "I won't punish you this time. But if there's a next time, don't blame your master for being harsh."
"Thank you for your understanding, Master!"
"However... Yanran, have you considered that your fiancé has already pulled far ahead of you?"
"Master, Yanran will work hard to catch up to him!" Nalan Yanran spoke with firm determination, as though Xiao Fan were the goal she intended to pursue.
Yun Yun only wanted to put a little pressure on Nalan Yanran. With Xiao Fan's advancement speed in this life, Nalan Yanran probably would not even see his back for the rest of her life. The gap between them would only widen faster and faster.
Nalan Yanran was not even a Dou Zhe yet and had only just condensed Dou Qi. Yun Yun had accepted her as a disciple solely because of the bond between master and disciple from their previous life.
Catch up to him? Before long, that little brat will probably be stronger than me. What in the world does he eat to raise his cultivation like that? Yun Yun grumbled
