In the Dou Qi Continent, One Talent Trait a Day

Yun Shan!

The previous Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect!

Even with his aura restrained, he could not conceal the authority emanating from him.

Yun Shan

Talent Trait: Wind God's Favor (Yellow): This person's comprehension of Wind Element Dou Qi techniques has reached a miraculous level, greatly enhancing the effects of Wind Element Dou Qi techniques.

Talent Trait: Sect Master (Yellow): As the Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect, this person holds great power and commands widespread support, greatly increasing prestige.

Talent Trait: Serene and Ascetic (Purple): This person was naturally detached and disliked conflict. Increases comprehension and soul power.

Talent Trait: Final Glory (Yellow): As the last Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect with hopes of breaking through to Dou Zong, this person represented the Misty Cloud Sect's final glory. Greatly increases comprehension and combat power.

Yun Shan had surprisingly few Talent Traits, but their attributes were absurdly high.

It had to be said that, as the Misty Cloud Sect's last powerhouse, his talent grades were quite good, and all his attributes were excellent. The only pity was that Xu Qi already had Wind God's Favor and Sect Master, so he could not equip them again.

In the end, Xu Qi could only convert the first two Yellow-grade talents into experience, then convert the last two talents.

Ding! Talent conversion successful. Obtained "Serene and Ascetic" and "Final Glory"!

Serene and Ascetic (Purple): You are naturally detached and dislike conflict, taking a laid-back attitude toward many things. Comprehension +50%, Soul Power +100%!

Final Glory (Yellow): Comprehension +100%, Combat Power +100%!

"Teacher, I brought him here."

Yun Yun lightly bit her thin lip and spoke softly.

Yun Shan had already begun sizing Xu Qi up. His sharp gaze repeatedly swept over him, exerting invisible pressure on Xu Qi.

Xu Qi did not know whether Yun Shan had already broken through to Dou Zong, but this oppressive presence alone made it clear that he was an absolute powerhouse!

It was not until Yun Yun secretly tugged at the corner of his clothes that Xu Qi came to his senses. He quickly bowed in salute. "This disciple Xu Qi greets the Old Sect Master!"

"Disciple?"

Yun Shan had been thinking about how to vent his anger, but Xu Qi's words made him freeze. He looked at Yun Yun with puzzled eyes.

Yun Yun froze as well. She had actually forgotten to coordinate their story with Xu Qi beforehand!

Xu Qi thought Yun Shan had not heard clearly, so he explained in greater detail.

"This disciple Xu Qi is currently responsible for guarding the sect's Dou Qi Pavilion. This disciple greets the Old Sect Master!"

"Oh, so you're Xu Qi." Yun Shan's attitude immediately softened considerably.

He remembered now. Yun Yun had told him about the one guarding the Dou Qi Pavilion, the foremost among the younger generation of disciples.

He just had not expected that the person Yun Yun wanted to bring to meet him would be Xu Qi.

Why did this girl keep so many things hidden instead of explaining them clearly?

"Do you know why I summoned you here today?" Yun Shan sat in a chair nearby, his gaze carrying a hint of deeper meaning.

"I know."

Xu Qi nodded and stood honestly before Yun Shan, awaiting his punishment.

"It is good that you know." Yun Shan's face revealed neither joy nor anger.

"You should know that Yun'er is now the Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect. Her status is noble, and she represents the entire Misty Cloud Sect. Her affairs are the affairs of the Misty Cloud Sect."

"Whether major or minor, if something damages the Misty Cloud Sect's reputation, it is disrespect toward our Misty Cloud Sect."

"Although Yun'er has been the Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect for a long time, she has always been alone. Never has any man caught her eye."

"But now, though you have no husband-and-wife title, you have already done what husband and wife do. Do you know what that means?"

Yun Shan narrowed his eyes slightly, his aura turning icy.

At that moment, Yun Yun stepped forward. Clenching her thin lips, she said, "Teacher, this matter is not Xu Qi's fault. I made the mistake myself. I am willing to bear all punishment and resign as Sect Master!"

Xu Qi looked at her in great surprise.

Hadn't she and Yun Shan come today to punish him? How had it turned into Yun Yun pleading for him, even willing to resign as Sect Master?

This was not how the script was supposed to go.

"Do you think the position of Sect Master is a joke, something you can resign from whenever you want?" Yun Shan's gaze turned cold. "As the Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect, when something happens, is this the only negative way you know how to deal with it?"

"After all these years of my teachings, what have you learned??"

The atmosphere suddenly shifted. Yun Shan was now reprimanding Yun Yun as her teacher.

"As Sect Master, you must withstand all pressure and shoulder the responsibility on your shoulders, rather than responding negatively whenever something happens!"

If Yun Yun were not yet the Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect and were merely his disciple, Yun Shan might not have been this angry.

But since Yun Yun was now the Sect Master, he had to hold her to the strictest standards!

Yun Yun merely lowered her head, silently enduring Yun Shan's scolding without saying a word.

She had already prepared herself for everything before coming today. She was not afraid of being scolded by Yun Shan.

Wasn't it just the position of Sect Master? At worst, she would give it up.

After scolding her for a few sentences, Yun Shan saw that Yun Yun did not dare speak, and some of the anger in his heart dissipated.

Only then did he turn his gaze back to Xu Qi.

"Xu Qi, was it? As a man, after making a mistake, don't you even have the courage to admit it?"

Originally, Yun Shan's impression of Xu Qi had not been too bad.

But once Yun Yun admitted fault like that, the anger in his heart shifted to Xu Qi.

If not for this fellow, Yun Yun would not have said she did not want to be Sect Master!

Xu Qi had remained silent only because, before they came, Yun Yun had told him that no matter what Yun Shan said or how he scolded him, he absolutely could not talk back and could only endure in silence.

But now, he did not want to remain silent.

"Old Sect Master, this disciple has something to say." He raised his head, his gaze firm and unyielding, filled with the spirited vigor of youth.

"Fine. Let's see how else you can try to argue your way out of this." Yun Shan found it amusing.

Yun Yun, standing beside them, tugged at the corner of his clothes again, signaling for him not to speak.

But Xu Qi still had to say it.

"Old Sect Master, regarding the matter between the Sect Master and me, I believe neither of us did anything wrong!"

"Oh? Explain." Yun Shan did not rush to pass judgment. He still wore the attitude of one watching a show, waiting for Xu Qi's explanation.

"Old Sect Master, you believe that what happened between the Sect Master and me has brought shame upon the Misty Cloud Sect. But I do not think so."

"On the contrary, I believe this will become something that makes our Misty Cloud Sect proud."

"Because I like the Sect Master, and I also believe that I am worthy of her."

"If the Sect Master and I are together, I will prove through my actions that my existence will not bring shame upon the sect. Instead, it will become the most glorious thing in the sect's history."

"Therefore, this disciple boldly asks the Old Sect Master to approve of the Sect Master and me being together!"
