Inside an elegant chamber of Ten Thousand Treasures Mountain, the fragrance of tea wafted through the air, and spiritual mist curled all around.
The Twelve Young Masters sat around a table, above which floated dozens of spheres of light containing pills, talismans, weapons, and more, their treasures gleaming brilliantly.
Smiling, Yun Lan poured tea for everyone while recounting the Yun Clan's past journeys on the Azure Cloud Road.
"Back then, dragons and serpents rose from the land. The Yun Clan's position as overlord of the Eastern Region today was won by generations of ancestors fighting blood-soaked battles on the Nine Heavens Azure Cloud List. So don't stand on ceremony, little ones. If something catches your eye, take it." He swept his broad hand out, his manner generous and sincere.
Yun Poxiao scratched his head sheepishly and secretly nudged Yun Li, who sat ramrod straight beside him, sipping tea with a solemn expression. "Brother Li, those... those gauntlets... can I really take them? They look so impressive!"
Though he was always a little scatterbrained, he still knew his limits. Faced with such extravagant generosity for the first time, he actually felt a little afraid to reach for anything.
Yun Li set down his teacup without betraying a thing. Maintaining his cool, dependable image, he secretly sent a voice transmission to Yun Qing at the head of the table, brief and to the point: "Eldest Brother, the rules? Can we take them?"
Yun Qing's lips curved slightly at his words. "How could we disappoint Uncle Lan's heartfelt care for us? Once we return triumphant from the Azure Cloud Road, it won't be too late to repay him."
Having received confirmation, Yun Li nodded slightly and told the eagerly waiting Yun Poxiao beside him in a low voice, "Eldest Brother says we can."
