"Yanran, you have to teach that bastard a lesson for me."
Nalan Ye said indignantly.
Whenever he recalled Chen Xuan's hateful face, Nalan Ye felt miserable, as if a lump of rage were lodged in his chest, impossible to swallow.
He hoped Nalan Yanran could vent his anger for him.
"Cousin, who is this bastard you mentioned? What exactly happened between you?"
Nalan Yanran looked at Nalan Ye in confusion.
She had only just finished cultivating and had no idea whom Nalan Ye had clashed with.
Judging by how furious Nalan Ye was, it seemed the matter was not so simple.
"That new disciple named Chen Xuan. He attacked me and even said all disciples of the Nalan Clan were trash," Nalan Ye said righteously.
Nalan Yanran's delicate brows furrowed, and her expression turned colder.
Upon hearing that someone had called the Nalan Clan's disciples trash, Nalan Yanran naturally became angry.
If all Nalan Clan disciples were trash, then she would be trash too.
But Nalan Yanran was no trash. She was a genius.
At fourteen, she already possessed the strength of a one-star Dou Zhe. Among those her age, her talent was certainly outstanding.
What was more, she was the Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect's personal disciple and might even become the future successor to the position of Sect Master.
"What exactly happened? Tell me clearly," Nalan Yanran said coldly.
Anyone could hear how angry she was.
Still, she needed to understand the whole story. She could not simply go looking for trouble.
Although she was highly regarded within the Misty Cloud Sect, she could not casually pick on fellow disciples.
Without sufficient reason, people would say she was using her status to bully others.
That would only ruin her reputation.
Nalan Ye then recounted everything that had happened, naturally embellishing the story along the way.
After hearing Nalan Ye's account, Nalan Yanran frowned.
When she learned that the other party had become a one-star Dou Zhe at only thirteen, she was shocked.
Though Nalan Yanran was now also a one-star Dou Zhe, the other party was a year younger than her.
In terms of talent, the other party surpassed her.
The Misty Cloud Sect would naturally value such a gifted disciple.
If he called Nalan Ye trash, then he did have the arrogance to back it up.
Whether in age or strength, Nalan Ye was inferior to Chen Xuan.
But insulting the disciples of the Nalan Clan was absolutely intolerable.
"A new disciple? I'd like to meet him," Nalan Yanran said coldly as she rose to her feet.
She had Nalan Ye lead the way.
Nalan Ye secretly rejoiced. With Nalan Yanran stepping in, that arrogant fellow would finally be shown what was what.
Although they could not kill him, teaching him a lesson was still possible.
Nalan Yanran was naturally confident as she went to find him.
She had cultivated in the Misty Cloud Sect for a long time and possessed high-level battle techniques from the sect.
Moreover, as the Sect Master's prized disciple, she was bolder than most.
At that moment, Chen Xuan was cultivating a battle technique at the Misty Cloud Sect's training grounds.
Many Misty Cloud Sect disciples were there.
Everyone cultivated there, and some disciples sparred with one another.
Although Chen Xuan was a new disciple, he had drawn no small amount of attention.
Many Misty Cloud Sect disciples around him kept glancing his way, curiosity evident in their eyes.
After all, Chen Xuan was the first thirteen-year-old one-star Dou Zhe the Misty Cloud Sect had ever had.
Chen Xuan began cultivating according to the method for the Overlord Tiger's Furious Aura Fist.
The first level was relatively easy to cultivate, so he quickly mastered it.
Dou Qi surged through his body as an imposing aura burst forth.
Whenever he used the battle technique, the roar of a tiger could be heard.
Seeing that Chen Xuan could cultivate a battle technique, many people revealed envious looks.
At that moment, a beautiful figure appeared in the training grounds.
When they saw who had arrived, everyone immediately perked up.
"It's Senior Sister Nalan Yanran. She's so beautiful."
"Nalan Yanran is walking toward Chen Xuan. Looks like there'll be a show."
"Tsk, tsk. Nalan Ye looks awfully pleased with himself. He must have told her everything about yesterday."
"A clash between two geniuses will definitely be exciting."
Seeing Nalan Yanran approach, many people stopped cultivating.
The male disciples looked at Nalan Yanran with adoration in their eyes.
After all, Nalan Yanran was a genius disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect. Beautiful and captivating, she was the goddess in the hearts of the male disciples.
"Yanran, that's the guy," Nalan Ye said, pointing at Chen Xuan, who was still cultivating.
Following the direction of Nalan Ye's finger, she saw a silver-haired youth.
When she saw his silver hair, a trace of surprise flashed through Nalan Yanran's eyes.
Frowning slightly, she walked toward the silver-haired youth.
"Are you Chen Xuan?"
A pleasant voice sounded behind him. Chen Xuan stopped cultivating and turned around.
The young man and woman faced each other.
When he saw her face clearly, Chen Xuan was dumbfounded.
Nalan Yanran was equally stunned, disbelief filling her eyes.
"It's you, you filthy pervert!"
Nalan Yanran's eyes blazed with fury as she stared at Chen Xuan as if she wanted to kill him.
Even if she died, she would never forget the face of the bastard before her.
Back in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, this bastard had stood completely naked before her, letting her see everything.
If Chen Xuan had not run so quickly, Nalan Yanran would have taught him a brutal lesson.
She had never expected that shameless bastard to become a disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect.
"Hey, watch your mouth. How am I a pervert?"
Chen Xuan glared at Nalan Yanran in displeasure.
Being called a pervert naturally made Chen Xuan unhappy.
Especially with such a large crowd watching.
Particularly those female disciples who had been batting their eyelashes at him.
If they thought he was a pervert, his reputation would be ruined.
How was Chen Xuan supposed to chase girls then?
Besides, his nakedness back then had been an accident. He had never expected Nalan Yanran to appear before him.
If he had not warned her, she would have seen all of him.
Now she was turning the tables on him, and he was furious.
But Nalan Yanran did not care about any of that. She had already decided that Chen Xuan was a pervert.
She had always wanted to teach Chen Xuan a lesson.
Now that he was right in front of her, how could she let this chance slip away?
"Still trying to argue?" Nalan Yanran said angrily. "I'm teaching you a lesson today!"
Dou Qi began circulating through her body as a sharp aura erupted and pressed toward Chen Xuan.
A pale green longsword appeared in her hand.
Empowered by Dou Qi, the pale green longsword gleamed with fierce sword light, its aura intimidating.
She stomped the ground fiercely, her delicate body shuddering as she shot toward Chen Xuan.
Seeing Nalan Yanran charging at him aggressively, Chen Xuan's expression changed slightly.
Not daring to be careless, he hurriedly dodged.
Nalan Yanran swept past Chen Xuan in a gust of wind.
Her strike missed, and she swiftly turned around to attack again.
"You crazy woman! You dare attack a fellow disciple? You'll be punished under the Sect Rules!" Chen Xuan shouted.
The Misty Cloud Sect had Sect Rules. Disciples were forbidden from fighting privately, or they would face severe punishment.
For minor offenses, they would be penalized. For serious ones, they would be expelled from the sect.
Nalan Yanran, who had been charging fiercely, immediately halted upon hearing the reminder.
She stared at Chen Xuan as if she wanted to devour him alive.
Remembering the strict Sect Rules, she could only stop attacking.
But there was no way she would let the matter end just like that.
The people around them were somewhat bewildered, having no idea what grudge the two had against each other.
From their conversation, it was clear that they had met before and that something unpleasant had happened between them.
Everyone grew curious. What kind of enmity did the two of them have?
