Xiao Xun'er

After several days of exhausting flight, they finally arrived at Wu Tan City in the Gama Empire.

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

As soon as Yun Shenwei's group entered Wu Tan City, they sensed that the local customs here were quite different. Commoners could be seen everywhere, and the streets were lively enough, though the environment was vastly different from that of the Yun Lan Sect. Perhaps this was what they called the mortal world?

"Shenwei Senior Brother, look over there. A member of some family is bullying people. How awful."

After Nalan Yanran's group entered Wu Tan City, they witnessed a rather unpleasant scene.

In the distance, a group of arrogant young family members, led by a handsome and dashing young man, were bullying a group of guards.

These guards were quite manly as well. Though 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 young girl behind the guards.

"There's nothing we can do about that. This is, after all, a world where the strong prey on the weak. You should understand that, in the Yun Lan Sect, we have more or less been protected by our elders. But once we enter the outside world, things are different."

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

"Little Sister Xun'er, hurry up and accept me. What's so good about staying in the Xiao Family? Wouldn't marrying into our family and enjoying wealth and glory be far better?"

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

"Xun'er?"

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

No!

More accurately, she was a genius young girl of the Ancient Clan—Gu Xun'er!

However, calling her Xiao Xun'er was more appropriate for now.

Yun Shenwei looked over again and finally confirmed his suspicions.

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

"Yanran, your senior brother is going over to help. Come with me."

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

"Sure. Three bottles of 1982 Sprite."

Ge Ye, dressed like a cowboy from the Wild 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 scum, what are you blocking the 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 left her home.

He had originally intended to flirt with Xiao Xun'er, but he had not expected to be blocked by members of the Xiao Family instead. In particular, the leader of these guards was especially irritating. His name seemed to be Pei En.

"Pei En, you're an old hand too. After all these years, you should know the consequences of offending me, Jia Lie'ao. If you know what's good for you, get out of the way. 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 several young family members beside him. Soon, they pulled several colorful low-grade Magic Cores from their pockets and handed them over.

"How about it? That's a good deal, isn't it? Today, all you need 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 the Jia Lie'ao Family, I'm afraid no one in Wu Tan City will dare do anything to you."

Jia Lie'ao played with the Magic Core in his hand as he stepped forward. Just as he was about to shove aside Pei En, the lead Xiao Family guard, a tremendous force suddenly struck him from behind. His body lost balance, and he fell flat on his face.

"Young Master Jia Lie'ao!"

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

"Damn it, who did this?"

The young members of the Jia Lie'ao Family who had come with Jia Lie'ao panicked. Some hurried forward to help him up, while others turned around in fury to look behind them.

"I did it. What about it? Got a problem with that? If you're unhappy, come hit me!"

Yun Shenwei walked over step by step with his arms folded across his chest. He had been a little too far away earlier, so he had casually picked up a piece of broken 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 Wu Tan City's Four Great Families?"

"You won't come to a good end after offending the Jia Lie'ao Family!"

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

The Jia Lie'ao Family members talked big, but their movements were quick as well. They immediately drew their weapons from their waists and began attacking.

"Oh? So you're drawing weapons now? I didn't realize you had some skill."

Yun Shenwei remained calm and composed. With a few strides, he rushed into their midst. He was a Dou Zhe Master, while the strongest of these Wu Tan City natives was merely a five-star Dou Zhe.

Crack, crack, crack...

Everyone heard the sound of bones shattering. Those Jia Lie'ao Family members all collapsed to the ground, clutching their bodies and wailing endlessly.

Jia Lie'ao, who had originally wanted to get up and attack, was so terrified that he punched himself in the head and passed out...

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

After dealing with these ordinary folk, Yun Shenwei turned to look at Xiao Xun'er. The moment he spoke, he realized that greeting her that way was inappropriate and hurriedly changed his words.

"Friend, do you know our young miss?"

Upon hearing this, Knife-Bearing Guard Pei En looked somewhat puzzled and hurried forward to block Yun Shenwei.

The other Xiao Family guards followed his example. Moreover, since this street contained markets belonging to both the Xiao Family and the Jia Lie'ao Family, more and more passersby gathered to watch.

"Oh, let me introduce myself. My name is Yun Shenwei. I come from the Yun Lan Sect, the foremost Sacred Land of the Jiama Empire, and I am the Chief Disciple of the younger generation."

Yun Shenwei naturally saw that they were suspicious of his identity, so with a thought, he took out the Yun Lan Sect disciple uniform from his Dimensional Warehouse.

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

Seeing this from the side, Ge Ye could not help feeling a little envious. Though he had long heard that this boy seemed to have a powerful master who appeared and vanished like a divine dragon, the fact that he possessed a Storage Ring at such a young age, along with piles of all kinds of foreign items, truly made an old Yun Lan Sect steward like him feel ashamed.

"The Yun Lan Sect?"

Pei En and the others had heard of the name before. After all, who in the Gama Empire had not heard of the Yun Lan Sect's great reputation?

The surrounding onlookers also began whispering among themselves. The name of the Yun Lan Sect alone carried immense intimidation!

"So you are the Yun Lan Sect's Chief Disciple. Pei En, move aside at once."

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

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

Such beauty belonged only in heaven; it was rarely seen in the mortal world.

The young girl wore a lavender dress, elegant and refined, standing tall and graceful. Though her lovely face still held traces of 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 older sister Yun Yun can compare with her.

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

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

"Ah... Yes, yes, yes! Yanran, be gentler."

Yun Shenwei feared this move most of all. Grimacing in pain, he hurriedly collected himself and said seriously, "We have come from the Yun Lan Sect. Could you take us to the Xiao Family in Wu Tan City?"
