64 Chapter 64: Gift Yun Yun The Qi Method

"Thank you, Senior Tianming."

"As for the matter of canceling the engagement, Yanran still needs to return to the Nalan Family to personally explain the situation."

Nalan Yanran agreed to go back with Nalan Jie, not as a sign of surrender but as the person involved in breaking off the engagement. She needed to clarify the situation with her family. After all, blood is thicker than water, and there are no longstanding grudges among family members.

"I see, that works too."

Yun Tianming nodded and then turned his gaze to Nalan Jie in the distance, saying, "I believe Old Master Nalan wouldn't really tie up his granddaughter and send her to the Xiao Family, right?"

"How absurd! What do you take me for?"

Old Master Nalan's face turned dark. Although he saw potential in the Xiao Family, he wasn't insane enough to do this! He was merely descipling the impulsive behavior of his granddaughter.

Upon hearing this, Nalan Yanran immediately broke into laughter, "Really? Grandpa! You won't force me to marry into the Xiao Family, right?"

"Humph! You disobedient girl, when you go back, tell me all the foolish things you've done at the Xiao Family!"

Nalan Jie said with an unfriendly expression, then shifted his gaze to Yun Tianming, "Kid, leave your name!"

"I am Yun Tianming."

Yun Tianming casually arched his hand towards the other party. He wasn't fond of Nalan Jie's character and reputation. If it weren't for the sake of his junior sister's face, he wouldn't bother dealing with him at all.

"Yun Tianming."

Nalan Jie silently noted down this name. Being astute, he could tell that Yun Tianming didn't have a favorable opinion of him. However, instead of getting angry, Nalan Jie seemed to appreciate it a bit.

"I'll remember you!"

"For so many years, you're the first person to knock away the Lionheart Spear in my hand!"

"Hahaha!"

Nalan Jie pulled out the spear that had been knocked into the city wall, laughed heartily three times, and unfolded his Dou Qi Wings, flying towards the horizon.

"Using laughter to cover up your embarrassment, your grandpa is quite humorous."

Yun Tianming smirked, mercilessly exposing Nalan Jie's awkward situation.

"If Grandpa hears this, his beard might stand on end from anger!"

Nalan Yanran covered her mouth and chuckled, secretly pleased: On their first meeting, it seems Grandpa has a favorable impression of Senior Tianming?

"Well then, Senior Tianming, I'll take my leave."

Before parting, the girl cast a reluctant and pitiful glance.

"Alright, go. I'll take good care of your teacher."

Yun Tianming said earnestly.

"How does teacher need you to take care of her?"

Nalan Yanran gave him a disdainful look, considering it a joke.

Misty Cloud Sect, Sect Master's Residence.

Dressed in a moon-white palace gown, Yun Yun sat cross-legged on a large rock at the mountaintop, hands forming cultivation seals. Three thousand strands of azure hair danced in the wind, blending naturally with the red sunset behind, creating a beautiful landscape.

Her delicate and slender eyebrows trembled slightly, and Yun Yun slowly opened her eyes, parting her red lips, "You've returned, Tianming."

Sensing the fluctuations of Dou Qi from him, Yun Yun couldn't help but be secretly surprised. He unexpectedly broke through the Dou Master realm during this trip! A fifteen-year-old Dou Master was undoubtedly a rare existence in the entire Jia Ma Empire!

"I'm back, Sect Master."

Yun Tianming was momentarily captivated, gazing directly at the stunning woman before him.

"You, sigh."

Yun Yun raised an eyebrow slightly, as if she had grown accustomed to his somewhat intrusive gaze. However, not wanting to reprimand too harshly, she casually changed the topic, "Regarding the matter of the engagement, Ge Ye just reported it to me. Yanran, has she returned to the Nalan Family now?"

"Yes, she went back to explain the situation to her family."

"Speaking of which, Sect Master, do you still remember the words I said before departing?"

Yun Tianming boldly approached Yun Yun.

"What words?"

"Wait, too close!"

The distance between them was less than a meter, and Yun Yun could almost feel his breath coming towards her. This unexpected closeness made her heart skip a beat. Subconsciously, she took half a step back, using the motion of running her fingers through her hair to conceal the subtle changes on her face.

"Sect Master, I said I would repay you properly."

Yun Tianming took another step forward.

"No need! This is my position as the Misty Cloud Sect Sect Master, investing in you."

Yun Yun took a step back, simultaneously widening her eyes, attempting to use a stern gaze to suppress the audacious young man before her.

"I want to! As they say, kindness should be repaid with overflowing gratitude!"

"For Sect Master's great kindness, Tianming has no way to repay, willing to serve with my body."

Suddenly, Yun Tianming took a quick step forward. Yun Yun instinctively retreated, finding herself backed against a large tree with no way to escape. The distance between them rapidly narrowed, and their bodies were almost pressed together. Yun Yun caught a whiff of a strong masculine scent, causing her thoughts to become chaotic, and a hint of confusion flickered in her beautiful eyes.

Just as Yun Tianming was about to continue his advances, the keen Soul Perception sensed that a powerful Dou Qi was brewing within Yun Yun. Her delicate eyebrows raised, and her gaze became clear and sharp, giving the impression that she was about to teach him a lesson with determination!

Yun Tianming sighed inwardly: Truly, she is the noble Sect Master. Her psychological defenses are solid; it's not that easy to break through.

"Yun Tianming!"

"Bold and daring."

Yun Yun issued a stern rebuke, genuinely angered. While she indeed valued Yun Tianming's potential, it didn't mean she could tolerate his frivolous behavior towards her.

"Sect Master, what does this mean?"

Yun Tianming looked puzzled.

"Hmph."

Yun Yun, agitated, glared at him and said, "Don't pretend to be innocent! Don't think I can't see what you're thinking!"

"And what does Sect Master think I'm thinking?"

Yun Tianming smiled faintly.

You want to marry me!

Yun Yun's mouth opened, and her cheeks grew warm. She glared at him fiercely.

How could the Sect Master possibly utter such words?

Seeing Yun Yun on the verge of losing her composure, Yun Tianming didn't want to provoke her further. He flicked his fingers and took out a scroll of Qi Method from the Spatial Ring.

"Sect Master, you've misunderstood me."

"I just want to give you a Qi Method."

Yun Tianming earnestly held the Qi Method with both hands.

"Qi Method? For me?"

Yun Yun raised an eyebrow, not reaching out to take it. Instead, she questioned, "Then why did you approach me?"

In fact, it couldn't really be considered approaching, but with Yun Tianming's aggressively suggestive gaze, it seemed as if he wanted to tightly embrace her and give her a passionate kiss... Ahem!

The involuntary images that flashed in her mind made Yun Yun blush, and she discreetly spat out a sigh!

"This Qi Method is a priceless treasure. If news of it gets out, Jia Ma Empire will likely be in turmoil."

Yun Tianming, with a mysterious expression, handed over the scroll of Qi Method.

"A priceless treasure? Your words are too exaggerated, aren't they?"

Yun Yun chuckled in response. As the Sect Master of Misty Cloud Sect, she practiced the highest-quality Black Rank High-Level Qi Method. Moreover, she didn't believe that Yun Tianming, a 1 Star Dou Master, could provide her with any top-tier Qi Method.

"Regardless of the value of this Qi Method, Tianming, I appreciate your gesture, and I'll accept it."

Yun Yun willingly took the Qi Method, casually unfurling the scroll. Subconsciously, she read aloud the several golden characters inside, dancing like dragons and phoenixes.

"Earth Rank Low-Level Qi Method: Wind Manipulation Mantra!"
