Xiao Xun'er

After several days of exhausting flight, they finally arrived at Wutan City in the Jia Ma Empire.

Second Elder Yun Li had other matters to attend to, so he left first with the flying mount.

The moment Yun Shenwei's group entered Wutan City, they sensed that the local customs here were quite different. Common folk could be seen everywhere, and the streets were fairly lively, though the environment was vastly different from that of the Misty Cloud Sect. Perhaps this was the so-called mortal world?

"Shenwei Senior Brother, look over there. A group of clan disciples is bullying someone. How awful."

After Nalan Yanran and the others entered Wutan City, they witnessed a rather unpleasant scene.

In the distance, a group of arrogant clan disciples, led by a handsome young man, were bullying a group of guards.

These guards were quite courageous. Although their cultivation was inferior to the other side's, they still stood firm at the front.

Yun Shenwei turned to look and vaguely sensed that there seemed to be a pretty little girl behind the guards.

"There's nothing we can do about that. This is, after all, a world of Survival of the Fittest. You should understand that at the Misty Cloud Sect, we had our elders protecting us to some extent, but the outside world is different."

Yun Shenwei waved his hand, clearly unwilling to meddle in such matters.

"Xun'er, just give in to me already. What's so good about staying in the Xiao Family? Wouldn't it be better to marry into our family and enjoy wealth and honor?"

Suddenly, a sentence from the distance caught Yun Shenwei's attention.

"Xun'er?"

The moment Yun Shenwei heard that name, an image instantly surfaced in his mind. He remembered that the Xiao Family had a genius young girl.

No! More accurately, she was the Ancient Clan's genius young girl—Gu Xun'er!

However, it was more appropriate to call her Xiao Xun'er for now.

Yun Shenwei looked over once more and finally confirmed his suspicions.

Those guards were undoubtedly members of the Xiao Family, and the girl they protected behind them had to be Xiao Xun'er.

"Yanran, I'm going over to help. Come with me."

Yun Shenwei took off his sunglasses, placed both hands on Nalan Yanran's shoulders, and said to Ge Ye, "Senior, please lend us a hand."

"Sure. Three bottles of 1982 Sprite."

Ge Ye, dressed like a cowboy from the West, nodded and stroked his beard.

He had drunk quite a lot of Sprite along the way and found it quite good. Before he knew it, he had become addicted to it.

Thus, Yun Shenwei took the lead and rushed toward Jia Lie Ao and the others.

"You lowly Xiao Family dogs, what are you blocking our way for? Get lost!"

Jia Lie Ao was in an especially foul mood. He was a direct descendant of the Jia Lie Ao Family, and today, he had unexpectedly run into Xiao Xun'er, who rarely went out.

He had originally planned to flirt with Xiao Xun'er properly, but he had not expected to be blocked by the Xiao Family instead. The leader of these guards was especially detestable, seemingly named Pei En.

"Pei En, you're an old hand yourself. After all these years, you should understand the consequences of offending me, Jia Lie Ao. If you know what's good for you, get lost. I'll reward you with some Magic Cores, and you can join the Jia Lie Ao Family in the future."

Jia Lie Ao gave a slight signal to the clan disciples beside him. Several of them quickly took out some colorful low-grade Magic Cores from their pockets and handed them over.

"What do you think? This is a good deal, isn't it? Today, all you have to do is make way. You won't lose anything. Besides, even if someone wants to hold you accountable later, it won't matter. Once you join our Jia Lie Ao Family, I'm afraid no one in Wutan City will dare do anything to you."

While playing with the Magic Core in his hand, Jia Lie Ao stepped forward. He was about to shove aside Pei En, the Xiao Family guard leading the group, when a tremendous force suddenly struck him from behind. He lost his footing and fell flat on his face.

"Young Master Jia Lie Ao!"

"Young Master, are you all right? Young Master..."

"Damn it, who did this?"

The clan disciples following Jia Lie Ao were all flustered. Some hurried forward to help Jia Lie Ao up, while others turned around in fury to glare behind them.

"I did it. So what? Got a problem with that? Come hit me if you don't like it!"

Yun Shenwei walked over step by step with his arms folded across his chest. He had been a little too far away just now, so he had casually picked up a broken piece of wood from the ground and thrown it.

"You bastard, you're courting death! Do you know that Young Master Jia Lie Ao is a direct descendant of one of Wutan City's Four Great Families?"

"You won't meet a good end after offending our Jia Lie Ao Family!"

"From the way you're dressed, you're obviously not from Wutan City. If you know what's good for you, kneel down and kowtow to apologize immediately. Otherwise, we'll tear your arms off later."

Although these Jia Lie Ao Family disciples talked big, their movements were swift as well. They immediately drew weapons from their waists and began attacking.

"Oh? You're using weapons now? Didn't expect you lot to have some skill."

Yun Shenwei remained calm and composed. With a few strides, he rushed into their midst. He was a Dou Shi, while the strongest among these Wutan City natives was merely a Five-Star Dou Zhe.

Crack! Crack! Crack...

All they heard were the sounds of bones breaking. The Jia Lie Ao Family disciples all collapsed to the ground, clutching their bodies and howling in agony.

Jia Lie Ao, who had originally wanted to get up and attack, was terrified out of his wits. He directly punched himself in the head and passed out...

"Xun'er... ah, miss, are you all right?"

After dealing with these ordinary people, Yun Shenwei turned toward Xiao Xun'er. The moment he spoke, he suddenly realized that greeting her like that was inappropriate, so he hurriedly changed his words.

"This friend, do you know our young lady?"

Upon hearing this, Pei En, the saber-bearing guard, looked doubtful and hurried forward to block Yun Shenwei.

The other Xiao Family guards followed suit. Moreover, this street contained markets belonging to both the Xiao Family and the Jia Lie Ao Family, so more and more passersby gathered to watch.

"Oh, let me introduce myself. My name is Yun Shenwei. I am from the Jia Ma Empire's foremost Sacred Land, the Misty Cloud Sect, and I am the Chief Disciple of the younger generation."

Yun Shenwei naturally saw that they doubted his identity. With a thought, he took out the Misty Cloud Sect disciple uniform from the Dimensional Warehouse.

They had been traveling constantly these past few days, and to relax himself, he had changed into a modern urban denim jacket exchanged from the All Heavens Mall.

Seeing this, Ge Ye could not help feeling a little envious. Although he had long heard that this boy seemed to have a formidable master who was as elusive as a divine dragon, having a storage ring at such a young age, along with piles of all kinds of items from foreign realms, truly made an old-generation Misty Cloud Sect deacon like him ashamed.

"The Misty Cloud Sect?"

Pei En and the others had heard of this name before. After all, who in the Jia Ma Empire did not know the great name of the Misty Cloud Sect? The onlookers also began whispering among themselves. The name of the Misty Cloud Sect carried its own intimidation!

"So you are the Misty Cloud Sect's Chief Disciple. Pei En, hurry and step aside."

Xiao Xun'er had been protected behind the guards the entire time, but she now stepped forward on her own initiative.

Yun Shenwei's gaze met Xiao Xun'er's, and he could not help praising her inwardly!

Such beauty belonged only in heaven; it was rare to behold in the mortal world.

The young girl wore a violet dress, elegant and refined as she stood slim and graceful. Although her pretty face still retained some youthful immaturity, one could already imagine the breathtaking beauty she would possess when she grew up.

No wonder Xiao Yan molested Xiao Xun'er when they were children! With such celestial beauty and temperament, even Nalan Yanran falls short by a fraction. Only my sworn elder sister Yun Yun could compare to her.

Yun Shenwei could not help sighing inwardly. At that moment, Nalan Yanran seemed to notice something unusual between them. She grabbed Yun Shenwei's arm, raised her snow-white chin at Xiao Xun'er, and said with a trace of jealousy, "Shenwei Senior Brother, we came here to handle important business, didn't we?"

As she spoke, Nalan Yanran extended her other hand and viciously pinched Yun Shenwei's waist.

"Ah... y-yes, yes! Yanran, be gentler."

Yun Shenwei feared this move the most. Grimacing in pain, he quickly refocused and said solemnly, "We came from the Misty Cloud Sect. Could you take us to the Xiao Family in Wutan City?"
