Picking the Soft Persimmon

"Oh, right."

Before leaving, Qin Yu turned back and added:

"You know, putting everything else aside, you have pretty good taste."

Gu He was stunned.

He said I have good taste? What does that mean?

Ignoring Gu He, who was standing there in a daze, Qin Yu went straight back to Yun Yun's side.

Jia Xing Tian failed to get any information out of Yun Yun, and could only leave dejectedly.

However, Jia Xing Tian has lived for so many years, and considering Yun Yun's unusual breakthrough and Qin Yu's casual act of taking out Mystic Tier High-Rank cultivation technique, he can make some judgments.

He was just a little reluctant to accept this fact.

If we calculate it this way, the Misty Cloud Sect would have two Sixth-Grade Alchemist!

And one of them is quite young!

"Tsk, is Jia Nan Academy such a nurturing place? Maybe we should send some members of the Imperial Family family to try it out?"

While marveling at the place, Jia Xing Tian also developed a great interest in the Jia Nan Academy, and even conceived the idea of sending members of the Imperial Family family there for further studies.

If going to Canaan could have such an effect, then go to Canaan Canaan!

"Qin Yu... I really didn't expect this kid to grow up so quickly."

The last time I saw Qin Yu, he was still a Da Dou Shi, but now, less than two years later, he has become Dou Wang.

I should have tried to get closer to Qin Yu back then! Maybe I could have gotten one or two pills by now.

Now, looking at the Mystic Tier High-Rank cultivation technique that Qin Yu had just given away, Jia Xing Tian suddenly felt it wasn't so appealing anymore.

It's just a Mystic Tier High-Rank cultivation technique; their Imperial Family has plenty of those.

They just let Qin Yu forget about the favor they did last time. They've lost so much, they've really lost so much.

After Jia Xing Tian left, only Yun Yun, Nalan Yanran, and Qin Yu remained.

"Master, you and Brother Qin Yu..."

Nalan Yanran looked at the two people in front of her with curiosity, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

When she first met Qin Yu in Heiyan City, she sensed something was off between the two of them.

But after that, Yun Yun and Qin Yu only met once in Wutan City. After that, Qin Yu returned to the Jia Nan Academy, so Nalan Yanran just assumed she was overthinking it.

But now...

Fortunately, Nalan Yanran was quite obedient to Yun Yun, and given her young age, she was quickly dismissed by Yun Yun.

"Phew... this girl, she's really starting to get into gossip."

Only Yun Yun and Qin Yu remained. Yun Yun's tone relaxed, and there was even a hint of secret joy in her voice.

"Well, you've almost finished dealing with things within the sect. Now, let's talk about Gemer Volcano."

In the past few days, Yun Yun first used her strength as a Five-Star Dou Emperor Misty Cloud Sect.

Subsequently, she replaced the staff with a group of personnel she had personally observed and deemed reliable.

Since Yun Leng's death, the elders have been leaderless.

Two elders, seeing that things were not going well, decided to take a gamble.

The two of them took the initiative to confess some things that had happened over the years to Yun Yun, hoping to secure a stable future.

To convince Yun Yun, the two even revealed in detail what the other elders had been discussing in private these past few days.

Other elders: Something feels off, like there's a pair of eyes watching us from the shadows.

"Yes, Gemer Volcano is a rather special place."

Yun Yun nodded and recounted all the information she knew about Gemer Volcano:

"Gemer Volcano is located at the border of the Heavenly Qilin Empire and the Thousand Mountains Empire. There is no one inhabiting the surrounding area for hundreds of miles, but inside the volcano, there is a group of... or rather, Snake People."

What does "can also be called Snake People" mean?

Yun Yun's words puzzled Qin Yu.

It is or it isn't; what does it mean to say it can also be said?

"The ' Snake People ' in the Gemer Volcano are very different from the Snake People in the Tagor Desert."

"The Snake People in the Tagor Desert all have human bodies and snake tails, while the ' Snake People ' in the Gemer Volcano... are like ordinary snakes that have grown human hands and feet."

Upon hearing this description, Qin Yu instantly envisioned a scene.

Along with that comes a background music track that gives you a headache:

Three hundred and sixty-five miles!

"However, these Snake People generally have low intelligence. As far as I know, only three of Snake People are at or above the Dou Wang realm."

"How could they have occupied the Gemer Volcano for so long?"

Even if their leader is a Dou Emperor, it's unlikely that three Dou Wang could survive under the suppression of two great empires.

"This has to do with the leader of this Snake People."

"It is said that the leader of this Snake People was originally human, but in order to break through to the Dou Zong realm, he merged with a giant snake that originally lived in the volcano."

"Although he ultimately failed to break through to the Dou Zong, he could manipulate the power of the volcano, which prevented the Thousand Mountains Empire and the Heavenly Qilin Empire from breaching his defenses, so they eventually gave up."

Um...

Qin Yu felt that if Yun Yun continued talking, it would trigger his brain's protective mechanism.

Huh?

Heavenly Qilin Empire?

That name sounds familiar too.

"If we travel at full speed, we should be able to reach our destination in less than two months."

"But... what are you going there for?"

"That Snake People Chieftain is not easy to deal with, and Gemer Volcano is its home turf. If a fight really breaks out, I don't think I can last long."

Its home ground...

Pfft

Qin Yu's sudden laughter left Yun Yun somewhat bewildered.

"Why are you laughing?"

"I... I thought of something happy."

It would have been better if she hadn't asked; this question only made Yun Yun more puzzled.

What could be so joyful that Qin Yu would laugh in this situation?

Does he possess some unique skill specifically designed to target that Snake People Chieftain?

"Ahem, putting that aside for now, sister, are you sure you want to leave Misty Cloud Sect at this time and come with me to Gemer Volcano?"

Don't worry, I've already arranged everything.

How can I break my promise to you?

Yun Yun brushed a stray hair from her forehead and spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

If it weren't for Qin Yu's unwavering support, she probably wouldn't have been able to make the decision to reorganize the sect by now.

Since Qin Yu is willing to help her like this, Yun Yun can't let herself be disrespected!

"Alright, let's not delay, shall we set off today?"

"Of course, no problem. Wait for me for half an hour, I'll be back and we'll leave."

Qin Yu nodded. Several days had already been wasted at the Misty Cloud Sect, and for the next few days, they would have to travel at full speed.

Yun Yun returned in less than half an hour. The managers and elders in the sect were already used to Yun Yun's daily routine of running around everywhere. They hardly needed Yun Yun to tell them what to do.

This time, however, the managers and elders were much more obedient and didn't seem like they would dare to cause trouble.

"Come on, you'd better put in a lot of effort, or I'll fall too far behind."

"Let's take a look."

(The next chapter will be added later. The efficiency of the hospital in our small county is just unbelievable. It wasted so much of my time.)
