6 Yun Yi’s Paramour?

Mu Qinglan smiled and also sent the dagger in her hand flying.

It had just been a few months since they've seen each other, yet this kid was still like this!

"Heh, here I was thinking who could it be, and it turns out to be you." 

Mu Qinglan raised an eyebrow and smiled, then kept away the bitter aura that emanated from her body.

She was not an idiot. Although this kid spoke with words that made others want to beat him up, it was obvious from that little display just now just how tyrannical his strength was. Even that subordinate of his was already way stronger than Mu Zhongtian. It was likely that this kid wasn't any ordinary person.

Even though Mu Qinglan already felt that this guy surely had an extraordinary background when they had met in Zhongyuan Secret Realm, it seemed that he was actually more powerful and mysterious than she had imagined.

However, in the Zhongyuan Secret Realm, all the young geniuses selected by the various empires were selected regardless of their background, and each one of them had their power suppressed down to the Primary Yuan Realm, so they hadn't needed to worry about the different power levels back then, but now…

In the half year they had spent in the secret realm, Mu Qinglan and her brother had set up all kinds of traps for this guy before.

Listening to the hint of coldness underneath his voice when he spoke, Mu Qinglan felt a chill run up her spine, and thought that it was better to be cautious.

"Yun Yi, no matter how it is, my… My sister once saved your life. Being able to meet like this is also considered fate, so why the attitude? Don't you also think the same?" 

Although Mu Qinglan had said "saved his life", the situation was actually a little complicated…

Well, it was better not to mention it at all. The moment she brought this up, the hint of coldness on his face suddenly chilled further, and it felt as cold as a winter's harsh wind that bit all the way to one's bones!

Mu Qinglan even felt the air around them to suddenly be stifling…

***

Yun Yi looked at the youth in front of him who had frankly said that just because his sister had saved Yun Yi's life, he wanted to worm his way into Yun Yi's good graces based on that matter. His fist that was under the white sleeved robe with golden trimmings slowly clenched into a fist.

If it weren't for the youth's excellent cultivation, Yun Yi would have just made his move right away!

This guy was still the same as before, just as willful and unrestrained as ever. To put it more bluntly, he was unable to differentiate good from bad and always behaved unscrupulously!

Seeing how the aura around his master had changed, Mo Yu, who was standing to the side, was a little surprised. Without a sound, his eyes swept to look at the person opposite them.

The person was a slim young man with a warm smile on his face. Though it seemed as though he was trying to work his way into Yun Yi's good graces, the youth's eyes were unexpectedly clear and calm, as though he really wasn't afraid of Yun Yi's strength.

Even though Mo Yu's master, Yun Yi, had an extremely calm temperament, to the point even those stubborn elders in the clan were not able to wring out such mood swings from him, this youth in front of him had…

Hearing the words that the youth had spoken just now, it sounded as though Yun Yi had met him in the Zhongyuan Secret Realm previously?

However, if they had really saved Yun Yi, then why was he reacting this way?

As though… Yun Yi was trying to hold back something?

***

Mu Qinglan was waiting for Yun Yi to get angry, but she didn't expect him to hesitate after that momentary cold outburst.

A few moments later, Yun Yi closed his eyes, shoving down all the emotions that were running through him.

When he opened his eyes again, there were no more ripples in them, and he merely opened his mouth to coldly say, "It seems that the incident with your sister did not affect you much." 

Mu Qinglan froze before she understood the meaning of Yun Yi's words and reacted.

Yun Yi thought she was Mu Linghan. With Yun Yi saying what he did, he meant to say that "his" sister had died tragically, yet "he" did not seem to be acting any more different than usual?

Mu Qinglan's eyes went cold.

Although she was not Mu Linghan, she had still lost a sibling. Even though Yun Yi had misidentified her, the words he spoke were still piercing. 

Like a fine needle that dug deep into her heart, and a single movement from it pierced deeply all the way to the bones.

On the surface, a trace of inexplicable self-deprecation crossed her face. 

"I'm just a crippled trash anyway, what's there to think about?" 

Although her voice was extremely soft, Yun Yi could still hear it clearly, and was immediately startled by her words. He furrowed his brows slightly as he studied Mu Qinglan carefully.

Mu Linghan was… crippled?

Yun Yi had not been paying attention before this, but now he realized that Mu Linghan's level... Was only at Rank 1 of Yuan Energy!

Was it caused by that disaster back then?

Yun Yi was unsure of what he was feeling right now, but the previous wave of emotions that had welled up in him had suddenly dissipated.

Back in the Zhongyuan Secret Realm, it was every man for themselves. The entire place was a danger zone, and he was alone, so it was natural he encountered many dangers. However, none of them were fatal to him.

Until he met a pair of siblings.

It was not the first time Yun Yi had met a genius with great talent, nor was it the first time he had seen a pair of brother and sister who were so close to each other. Yet, those two had managed to leave a deep impression on him.

Great rapport, unrestrained, confident and at ease, genius, extraordinary, and happy.

Those were the words that came to mind when he had first met the siblings. 

Later, they proved themselves to be that and more. They were also cunning, crafty, complicated, schemers, fearless and impudent!

Especially that girl who always had a seemingly small smile on her face… She had actually dared to…

Mu Qinglan looked at Yun Yi who seemed outwardly calm, but there were a myriad of emotions churning in his eyes. She studied him for a while and inadvertently glanced to the side to see that for some reason, his ears were actually slightly red!

Even the white snow on the highest peaks of the mountains was not comparable to how fair and clear Yun Yi's face was, but this spot of red made him feel a little more… human?

"Hey, Yun Yi?" 

The atmosphere was a bit odd, and Mu Qinglan remembered that there were still important matters to attend to. Although she didn't want to provoke this god-like person, she couldn't help but clear her throat and spoke.

Yun Yi's eyes shifted as though he had woken up from a deep thought, then looked at Mu Qinglan subconsciously.

"Um… If there's nothing else, I'll be going first, okay?" 

Mu Qinglan raised her finger and pointed it in a direction, indicating that she wanted to leave.

Yun Yu stared at her as though he was looking at a complicated puzzle, and Mu Qinglan was starting to become uncomfortable by his gaze when he said in a cold and concise manner, "If you want to recover your strength, I can help you." 

What?

Yun Yi wanted to help her?!

Mu Qinglan widened her eyes. Was he serious?

Mu Qinglan and her brother had bullied Yun Yi so much before this, and the words she had spoken just now had not all been good ones either. How could he possibly want to help her now?

Or perhaps it was that she had fallen to this level in his eyes, and he was using this matter to satisfy his own superior mentality?

Mu Qinglan snapped out of her thoughts and immediately shook her head without hesitation.

"My thanks, but my meridians have been greatly damaged, and there is no way to recover them. So…" 

"It's just damage to your meridians. A Level 5 Star Formation Master will be able to help you recover," Yun Yi said indifferently, as though he was talking about something as simple as the weather.

In fact, to him, it was really just as simple as saying it.

Mu Qinglan was taken aback.

A Level 5 Star Formation Master?

In the entire Holy Yuan Empire, there was no such strong person, okay?

Yun Yi seemed to come from a really strong background, for him to take this matter and talk about it so lightly…

Mo Yu, who was still standing at the side, nearly failed to control his breathing when he heard what Yun Yi had said. His mind was running quickly…

His master had actually taken the initiative to offer help to someone?!

His master, who was known to kill and cut down others without mercy, would also have a day where he showed mercy?!

This Mu Linghan, who the heck was he, really?!

Mu Qinglan was stunned. "I… You don't have to help me so much… I was only joking just now…"

"I never joke." 

Yun Yi spoke calmly, but his words were unquestionable.

How could Mu Qinglan agree to that? She was here today to deal with the black jade tablet!

Swish!

Before she could say anything else, the sound of a harsh wind blowing came from the distance in the forest.

Mu Qinglan and Yun Yi both turned their heads to look in that direction at the same time, only to hear a dark, grating laughter.

"Hahaha… I was thinking why you would come all the way here. It turns out that you're here to meet your paramour!" 

A figure appeared in front of Mu Qinglan and the others in a flash!

At the same time, several powerful aura burst out from the surrounding area!

They had been ambushed without knowing it!

Yun Yi's eyes darkened. "Mo Yingtian! You've really got guts!" 

"It's rare for you to be out of that sh*tty place, so I naturally needed to seize the opportunity. Today, you will die here!" 

That person had actually come after her first!

Mu Qinglan cursed immediately, "You're f*cking blind! Who's that brat's paramour?" 

Yun Yi and Mo Yingtian seemed to glare daggers at each other the next moment, and lunged forward in her direction instantly!
