Who Is Qin Yu?

"Uh... why would Sect Master Yun... come here?"

After Otto left, Qin Yu asked the question first.

Qin Yu couldn't understand Yun Yun would appear here.

"It's all because of you."

"Huh? Me?"

Qin Yu pointed to himself, looking incredulous. How did this get involved with him?

Oh~

After a moment of stunned silence, Qin Yu finally realized what was happening.

"Is it because of Miss Nalan?"

Yun Yun nodded slightly and said:

"You were absolutely right. This girl is determined to break off the engagement, and she was even planning to bring people to her door to do so."

"A youth who isn't impetuous isn't a true youth."

Qin Yu's words also made Yun Yun sigh helplessly:

"As the mentor, I can only take advantage of this free time to resolve this matter."

"If we really let Yanran act like that, wouldn't it make our Misty Cloud Sect look domineering and unreasonable?"

You have a good idea, but unfortunately your master and the elders in your sect don't think like you.

Qin Yu thought to himself.

However, with Yun Yun personally taking Nalan Yanran along, the situation regarding the annulment of the engagement changed drastically.

It's unclear whether this outcome will cause Xiao Yan to angrily divorce his wife.

Thinking about it, it's unlikely. No matter how young and impetuous Xiao Yan is, he wouldn't divorce Nalan Yanran in front of Yun Yun, would he?

That's not youthful impetuosity, that's idiocy.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, you just..."

Perhaps feeling that the topic was no longer appropriate to continue, Yun Yun directly steered the conversation towards Qin Yu.

She and Nalan Yanran had traveled to this point, originally planning to continue their journey to Wutan City early the next morning.

Nalan Yanran was resting at the inn at the moment, but Yun Yun couldn't sleep, so she went out and wandered around Heiyan City for a bit.

Unexpectedly, I ran into Qin Yu, and he was even with the vice president of the local Alchemist Association.

"Oh, I passed the Alchemist level certification exam."

What grade?

Yun Yun wasn't surprised at all that Qin Yu knew how to concoct medicine.

Of course, it's not for any other reason than preconceived notions.

"Uh... if I said it's fourth rank, would Sect Master Yun believe me?"

The two walked along the streets of Heiyan City as they talked.

Upon hearing Qin Yu's answer, Yun Yun couldn't help but turn her head and look at him again.

"I don't quite believe it, but my intuition tells me that what you're saying is probably true."

The two chatted casually, Yun Yun finally found an outlet for things she couldn't say on ordinary days with Qin Yu, just like finding a suitable conversation partner, and she said whatever she wanted.

Yun Yun: Anyway, what I said to Qin Yu can't be leaked, so why not take this opportunity to say whatever we want?

Qin Yu: Gossiping is human nature, and besides... the charm of a mature woman is just different from that of a young girl.

"So, you and your companions are also going to Wutan City?"

After their conversation, Yun Yun learned about Qin Yu's itinerary and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Was this fate?

"Master! What are you doing out so late?"

Suddenly, a girl's figure appeared not far ahead.

Upon seeing Yun Yun, the girl immediately ran up to the two of them and then threw herself into Yun Yun's arms.

"Huh? It's you?"

Nalan Yanran nestled against Yun Yun's broad chest several times before noticing there was someone else beside her, and quickly let go.

Yun Yun was somewhat embarrassed by Nalan Yanran's actions, especially since Qin Yu was still standing there.

She dotes on this little apprentice, but she has no intention of hurting him!

But Nalan Yanran's reaction upon seeing Qin Yu made Yun Yun frown immediately:

"Yanran, didn't you say you didn't know him?"

"Huh? I..."

Nalan Yanran was about to say that she knew the person, but then she thought, she didn't even know the person's name, so... could she really call herself an acquaintance?

No, no, no, there's a problem...

When did she ever say she didn't recognize the person in front of her?

"Sect Master Yun, our last meeting was rather rushed, so Miss Nalan doesn't know my name."

Just then, Qin Yu spoke up to explain on Nalan Yanran's behalf.

"Oh, you're Qin Yu?"

Nalan Yanran's mind raced, and she remembered the strange question her master had asked her before.

That was the first time she had ever heard a strange man's name from Yun Yun.

"Exactly."

What is your relationship with my master?

Nalan Yanran's direct question caused Qin Yu and Yun Yun to fall silent.

What is their relationship?

Does a chat partner count?

"Well... Yanran, you should go back and rest first. We still have a long journey ahead tomorrow."

Yun Yun tried to push Nalan Yanran away, but the little girl wouldn't give up and even tried to act like Xiao Yi Xian, rolling around on the ground and being a brat.

"Alright, you brat! There are people around! Don't you know any shame?!"

In front of Yun Yun, Nalan Yanran still showed some childlike qualities.

But considering that Qin Yu was quietly watching from the sidelines, she could only give up in frustration.

"Alright, alright, I'll talk to you about this when we get back."

With Yun Yun's persuasion, they finally managed to send that little devil Nalan Yanran, away.

"Call..."

Yun Yun straightened her appearance and transformed back into the aloof and noble sect leader.

The little incident just now was like a mischievous child suddenly barging in while adults were having a conversation.

"It's getting late, Sect Master Yun, I'll take my leave now."

"Huh? Okay."

Hearing that Qin Yu was leaving, Yun Yun suddenly felt a little unsatisfied.

He usually had no one to talk to. When he communicated with the elders and disciples of the sect, as well as some high-ranking officials of the empire, he felt completely awkward.

It's so rare to find a suitable partner like Qin Yu, but the conversation is about to end before we can even have a proper chat.

"How about... we split it up for another ten gold coins?"

With a chuckle, Yun Yun almost burst out laughing at Qin Yu's sudden words, but the smile on her pretty face was already impossible to hide.

"No need, see you again someday."

When Yun Yun gets back, she'll have to explain things between her and Qin Yu to Yanran.

If I don't give this brat an answer, she'll probably conjure up a whole novel in her head!

"So, Master, you mean that Qin Yu is not only an Eight-Star Da Dou Shi, but also Four-Grade Alchemist?"

"Yes."

"You and he had met once before, and this was purely a chance encounter?"

"Um."

"You saw his great potential, so you talked to him, hoping to recruit him into your sect?"

"Otherwise what?"

After some explanation, Nalan Yanran seemed to accept Yun Yun's explanation somewhat.

But she always felt that Yun Yun was hiding something from her.

Nalan Yanran remembered clearly that when she first found Yun Yun, the other party was chatting enthusiastically with Qin Yu, showing no sign of recruiting talent at all.

"Master..."

"Get some rest. Tomorrow I'll take you into the Magic Beast Mountains. We can use this trip to hone your combat skills."

Nalan Yanran wanted to ask some more questions, but Yun Yun cut her off completely.

"Hmph, Master is definitely hiding something from me."
