The Uproar Caused by Killing Yun Leng

"No, sister, you... you've completely let yourself go, haven't you?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun's "displeasure" instantly turned into panic at having her lie exposed.

But this flustered expression only lasted a few seconds before it was replaced by a confident and self-assured demeanor.

Qin Yu could understand her meaning without Yun Yun saying a word.

"Snort."

Yun Yun pouted, gave a soft snort through her nose, and then walked ahead like a little girl sulking over an object.

This feeling... seems pretty good?

Over the next few days, Yun Yun focused on handling matters within the sect.

The news that Misty Cloud Sect personally adjudicated the case of Yun Leng, the Grand Elder of the Yun Yun Sect, spread quickly, shocking the entire Jia Ma Empire.

"Personally adjudicated Yun Leng? Are you sure Yun Yun did this?"

Inside the Jia Ma Imperial Palace, Jia Xing Tian frowned deeply, the wrinkles on his forehead so deep they could trap a mosquito.

Given Yun Yun's personality, could she really do something like this?

Moreover, the one being judged wasn't just anyone, but their own Grand Elder of the Misty Cloud Sect! Wasn't Yun Yun essentially cutting off her own arm?

Jia Xing Tian knew that in such matters, spies would never make things up or report based on hearsay.

Can...

That doesn't make sense.

"Let's go, I'll go to the Misty Cloud Sect myself and take a look."

He couldn't figure it out just by thinking about it; he had to go to the Misty Cloud Sect to see for himself.

Jia Xing Tian really curious, what exactly has Yun Yun gone through these past few days?

Killing Yun Leng is still a bit too far-fetched.

At the same time, the three major families, as well as Gu He from the Alchemist Association, also learned of the news.

After being driven away by Yun Yun, he has been staying at the Alchemist Association.

"Kill Yun Leng? How could Yun'er..."

When Gu He heard the news of Yun Leng's death, his first reaction was the same as everyone else's: disbelief.

But the next second, he remembered that person and decided to go to the Misty Cloud Sect to take a look as well.

As for the three major families and other imperial forces, they all chose to turn a blind eye.

The Misty Cloud Sect is a behemoth that they cannot easily touch.

Even the Nalan Family, who were closest to the Misty Cloud Sect, pretended not to see it after learning about it, because Nalan Yanran was preparing for a breakthrough and had not gone out.

The Nalan Family and Misty Cloud Sect's only linchpin are both absent; what right do they have to get involved?

"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"

Unexpectedly, that very afternoon, Nalan Yanran, who had been in seclusion and breaking through her cultivation barrier, successfully advanced and emerged from her room.

After pondering for a moment, Nalan Jie told Nalan Yanran about it, hinting that she should go and find out what was going on.

After all, Yanran is the Young Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect. It's perfectly reasonable for her to know about this matter, isn't it?

And so, Jia Xing Tian, Gu He, and Nalan Yanran arrived at the Misty Cloud Sect one after another that day.

Jia Xing Tian was the first to arrive. After meeting Yun Yun Yun, he was shocked by her Dou Qi cultivation before he could even speak.

"Sect Master Yun, you..."

"Just lucky."

Although he had anticipated that Yun Yun would change, such a significant change still left Jia Xing Tian stunned for a long time.

The Yun Yun of today possesses a relaxed quality that she never had before.

For example, when facing Jia Xing Tian, Yun Yun used to always maintain a certain level of etiquette, but the current Yun Yun is completely different.

"Sect Master Yun, I've heard that something major has happened in your sect recently?"

"It's not a big deal."

Yun Yun's attitude dealt another heavy blow to Jia Xing Tian Xingtian.

The Grand Elder is dead, and you killed him with your own hands. Isn't that a big deal?

"Yun Leng deserved his fate; killing him is already the greatest leniency."

"Hiss..."

Jia Xing Tian gasped in shock. "You've already killed someone, and you call this the greatest forgiveness?"

Has Yun Yun become this ruthless?

Of course, he didn't think Yun Yun was really that ruthless, but compared to the original Yun Yun, she was practically a completely different person.

Suddenly, Jia Xing Tian sensed someone's arrival. His gaze swept over and he spotted a familiar figure.

"Qin Yu? What's he doing here?"

"Teacher! I've made another breakthrough!"

Just as Jia Xing Tian was wondering, Nalan Yanran darted out from behind Qin Yu, ran up to Yun Yun, bowed to Jia Xing Tian first, and then looked at Yun Yun with a face full of expectation.

This breakthrough was almost half a month faster than the last one!

As for Qin Yu, Nalan Yanran met him on her way here.

Nalan Yanran didn't think much of it; she knew that Qin Yu and Yun Yun knew each other.

"Very good, but Yanran, you still can't let your guard down. The Three-Year Agreement is almost up."

"Okay, there's still a year left."

While Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran were talking, Jia Xing Tian walked to the side and greeted Qin Yu.

"Young friend Qin Yu, it's been a long time! I never imagined you'd already advanced to the Dou Wang."

"It was just luck; I should thank Elder Jia for his help last time."

It was another stroke of luck. Did Yun Yun learn her luck from Qin Yu?

"This is a Mystic Tier High-Rank Earth Attribute cultivation technique. I know the Imperial Family may not lack it, but it's still a small token of my appreciation."

Jia Xing Tian initially thought Qin Yu's gratitude was just a polite remark, so he didn't take it to heart.

So this kid was serious? He even gave them a Mystic Tier High-Rank cultivation technique?

Well, it makes perfect sense for someone at the Dou Wang realm to possess a Mystic Tier High-Rank cultivation technique!

"Heh, young friend Qin Yu, you're too kind. What happened last time wasn't just for you, but also for the interests of the empire."

Jia Xing Tian smiled and accepted the cultivation manual, then began exchanging compliments with Qin Yu.

Not long after, Gu He arrived.

This time, however, his fate was exactly the same as last time: he failed to curry favor and could only slink away in disgrace.

"What exactly did you do to her?!"

Before leaving, Gu He ignored Jia Xing Tian's subtle expression, pulled Qin Yu aside, and asked sternly.

From the moment he saw Qin Yu, Gu He was certain that Yun Yun's changes were inextricably linked to him!

"I didn't do anything, I just gave her a Emperor's Extreme Pill."

Gu He, of course, didn't believe it.

Putting aside the question of where Qin Yu got the Emperor's Extreme Pill, given Yun Yun's character, it's impossible for her to undergo such a drastic change just because of a single Emperor's Extreme Pill!

"You've wasted all that time following Yun-jie around. After all these years, you still don't know what she needs most."

"You're talking nonsense!"

Upon hearing Qin Yu's words, Gu He bristled instantly, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

You, Qin Yu, are just an outsider who joined the group midway through. What makes you think I don't understand her?

"Then tell me, what does Sister Yun need most?"

"She needs..."

Gu He opened his mouth, but found that he really couldn't say anything.

What exactly does Yun Yun need...?

Gu He knew that in this situation, it would be pointless to talk about anything superficial.

"Alright, I don't have time to waste with you. Think about it slowly."
