The moment Yun Yun stepped into the hall, Nalan Yanran, who had been entertaining guests, immediately went up to greet her. She affectionately linked arms with Yun Yun and whispered a few words in her ear before leading her straight toward the corner where An Yi and the others were gathered.
"Jia Lao." Yun Yun approached, her voice as cool and clear as spring water. She gave a slight nod in greeting.
"Sect Leader Yun." Jia Xingtian looked at her with some surprise. "This old man heard that Sect Leader Yun had recently entered seclusion. What brings you to such a noisy place today?"
Yun Yun had always been detached and aloof by nature, and she despised these hypocritical banquets of the powerful and privileged.
What was more, tonight's banquet had been hosted by the Jia Ma Imperial Family, which had not even formally invited the Misty Cloud Sect in advance.
For her to appear of her own accord, could it be because...
Yun Yun's expression remained calm as she explained evenly, "I heard from Yanran that an extraordinarily gifted wandering high-tier alchemist appeared at this Alchemist Convention. Not only were his methods unfathomable, but he even refined a Supreme Dou Spirit Pill through Void Alchemy at today's competition."
"Out of curiosity, Yun Yun wished to come and witness the bearing of this esteemed senior."
As she spoke, Yun Yun's clear autumn-water eyes shifted before finally settling on the young man beside them, with red hair and crimson pupils.
"This must be the famed Master Nangong of the Imperial Capital?"
An Yi set down his wine cup and rose to his feet. Looking at the long-unseen beauty before him, whose aura had become ever more ethereal, he smiled gently. "Sect Leader Yun, I have heard much about you."
