Yun Yun Pays a Personal Visit!

A day later, Xiao Yun and Xiao Yi Xian left Qingshan Town and hurried all the way back to Wu Tan City.

Along the way, Xiao Yi Xian was immensely curious. She looked around and asked all sorts of questions, while Xiao Yun answered her intermittently.

After arriving at the Xiao Clan, Xiao Yun settled Xiao Yi Xian in an empty room beside his own residence. The furnishings were nothing special, but the room was clean and tidy.

"You can stay here for now. Just tell me if you need anything," Xiao Yun said.

Xiao Yi Xian nodded and looked around. She did not pick at anything. After all, having somewhere to stay while away from home was already pretty good.

Then Xiao Yun casually took out a medicinal pill from his storage ring and tossed it to her. "After taking this pill, you should be able to advance directly to 9th Duan Dou Qi. That way, you won't be completely helpless."

Xiao Yi Xian froze as she caught the pill. Looking at the faintly glowing pill in her palm, her face filled with shock.

"9th Duan Dou Qi? One pill can directly raise me to 9th Duan Dou Qi?"

"Isn't that a little too ridiculous? What grade of pill is this?"

Xiao Yun waved a hand. "Why ask so many questions? Just eat it."

Although Xiao Yi Xian was shocked beyond words, she did not ask anything further. After all, Xiao Yun could even resolve the Woeful Poison Body. Producing a pill that raised one's strength no longer seemed so unusual.

She placed the pill in her mouth and swallowed it. A warm medicinal power immediately spread through her body, and her Dou Qi began to rise steadily.

Xiao Yi Xian hurriedly sat down cross-legged and began refining the medicinal power with full concentration, her delicate face full of seriousness.

Seeing that she had entered a cultivation state, Xiao Yun did not disturb her. He closed the door and left.

Meanwhile, at Xun Er's residence, Xun Er had just pushed open her door and was preparing to head to Disciples' Plaza to train. Yet as soon as she reached the courtyard gate, she heard several clan servants whispering among themselves.

"Have you heard? Young Master Xiao Yun is back, and he brought a woman with him."

"A woman? What woman? Is she pretty?"

"I heard he brought her back from Qingshan Town. Who knows what their relationship is? Anyway, Young Master Xiao Yun arranged for her to stay right beside his own residence."

"Whoa, then their relationship must be unusual. Why else would he arrange for her to stay so close?"

Upon hearing those words, Xun Er's steps paused. There was no visible change in her expression, but she could not help feeling puzzled.

A woman he brought back from Qingshan Town?

Strange. Why did Brother Xiao Yun suddenly bring a woman home?

After hesitating for a moment, she still turned and headed toward Xiao Yun's residence, intending to see the situation for herself.

When she reached the entrance to Xiao Yun's residence, she happened to see him stepping out of the room next door. The two met face-to-face.

"Brother Xiao Yun, you're back?" Xun Er asked, her tone as calm as ever.

"Mm, I only got back a little while ago." Xiao Yun nodded.

Xun Er's gaze then swept toward the room beside them. She happened to see Xiao Yi Xian sitting cross-legged inside, cultivating. Her lovely face was rather eye-catching.

Although Xun Er did not say anything, she still felt slightly uncomfortable inside.

After all, aside from herself, there had previously been almost no other women who were so close to Xiao Yun. Now, an unfamiliar young woman had suddenly appeared, and he had arranged for her to live next door. It would have been a lie to say she did not care at all.

However, Xiao Yun did not notice Xun Er's subtle shift in mood. Just as he was about to say something, a clan maid hurried over.

"Young Master Xiao Yun, the clan leader requests that you go to the main hall. He says there is an urgent matter."

Xiao Yun was taken aback. He had only just returned, yet his father was already urgently calling for him. He wondered what had happened.

"Got it. I'll go right away."

After saying that, he glanced at Xun Er. "Do you want to come along?"

Xun Er nodded, and the two headed together toward the clan's main hall.

As they walked, Xiao Yun asked, "What could make Father summon me so urgently?"

Xun Er shook her head. "I'm not entirely sure, but I vaguely heard that it has something to do with the sect leader of the Misty Cloud Sect."

"The Misty Cloud Sect's sect leader?" Xiao Yun raised his brows slightly at those words.

Isn't the Misty Cloud Sect's sect leader Yun Yun? Why would she come to the Xiao Clan?

Could she be coming to seek justice for Nalan Yanran?

But after thinking it over, Xiao Yun felt that was unlikely. Given Yun Yun's personality, she should not personally come to the Xiao Clan to make trouble over the broken engagement.

Besides, he was now a Dou Emperor. Even if Yun Yun truly came, he had nothing to fear.

The two soon arrived at the Xiao Clan's main hall. Xiao Zhan sat in the seat of honor, his expression somewhat complicated.

The Second Elder and Third Elder sat nearby. Even the First Elder, unusually, was sitting there instead of leaving. All of them looked somewhat uneasy.

When Xiao Zhan saw Xiao Yun enter, he immediately said, "You're finally here. Something has happened."

"What is it?" Xiao Yun walked in and found a seat.

"Yun Yun, the sect leader of the Misty Cloud Sect, has sent someone with a visiting card." As he spoke, Xiao Zhan handed over the card in his hand.

"She says she will personally visit our Xiao Clan tomorrow, and she specifically wants to see you."

Xiao Yun accepted the card and looked it over. Its wording was very courteous, and Yun Yun's signature as well as the Misty Cloud Sect's seal were clearly visible.

"She specifically wants to see me?"

"Yes, she named you directly." Xiao Zhan nodded, concern apparent in his tone.

"Yun Yun is a Dou Emperor. She suddenly wants to come to the Xiao Clan and see you by name. Could it be that the matter of the broken engagement upset her, and she's coming to cause trouble?"

Xiao Yun smiled when he heard that. "No. Sect Leader Yun Yun should not make such a big fuss over something like that."

"Besides, even if she comes looking for trouble, I'm not afraid."

Seeing his son's confident expression, Xiao Zhan felt considerably reassured. He now knew that Xiao Yun's strength was no longer what it had once been. He could even kill Jia Lie Bi with a single palm strike. Still, Yun Yun was a Dou Emperor, after all.

"Then will you see her when she comes tomorrow?"

"Of course I'll see her." Xiao Yun placed the visiting card back on the table.

"The dignified sect leader of the Misty Cloud Sect is coming in person. I can't exactly hide and refuse to see her."

Xiao Zhan nodded and said nothing more.

Xun Er sat quietly to the side and listened, inwardly taking note.

That Yun Yun, the Misty Cloud Sect's sect leader, specifically wants to see Brother Xiao Yun. What could it be about?

I just hope she isn't here to cause trouble. Otherwise... She looked at Xiao Yun's profile and recalled the strength he had displayed before. She was not overly worried.
