Furious Xiao Yan!
With Yun Yun's tacit approval, she accepted the Tier-6 pill, feeling a surge of gratitude towards Li Xiao. In this world, there were likely very few young experts who had achieved such feats as the master of Heaven Ascending Pavilion.
Nalan Yanran's face involuntarily reddened, her eyes revealing a complex expression. Seeing the subtle affection between her Master and Li Xiao made her suspect their relationship.
Moreover, noticing the plum blossoms on the bed sheet, Nalan Yanran's expression changed. Last night... after drinking… Could something really happen between the two?
Nalan Yanran was no longer a child and understood the nature of relationships between men and women. Although she had never experienced it herself, she had heard other senior and junior brothers and sisters mention it.
Her Master...
A ripple of emotion stirred in Nalan Yanran's heart, her nose tingling with an inexplicable bitterness. Perhaps unrequited love could indeed happen to her.
Li Xiao put on his mask and gently nodded at Yun Yun before striding out of the room. He decided to take this time to rest at Misty Cloud Sect and enjoy the scenery of the Jia Ma Empire's foremost sect.
Bailing, meanwhile, was constantly cultivating, hoping to soon advance to a half-saint level and assist Li Xiao in handling any problems.
In the secluded back mountain of Misty Cloud Sect, a white-haired man slowly opened his eyes. With a movement of his fingers, he noticed the guarding mark had vanished, and his expression turned serious.
"Yun'er… she…"
"Heh heh heh, what's the matter? Does it bother you that your disciple has lost her purity?" A mass of black mist appeared, smiling slyly. "I advise you to treat this as if nothing happened. Otherwise, even I won't be able to protect you."
The white-haired man's eyes were cold. "If that's the case, I want to see the strength of the person who dared touch my disciple. They truly do not respect the Misty Cloud Sect."
The black mist smirked and instantly disappeared. Since he refused to heed the warning, let's hope he doesn't put himself in a bind.
For the next few days, Li Xiao spent time with Yun Yun, discussing the mysteries of life from day to night, causing the disciples to whisper among themselves.
Many days had passed without seeing the Sect Master, and rumors spread that faint sounds of cultivation could be heard from her room.
Yun Yun lay on Li Xiao's chest, panting. "Yun Leng seems to have gone to the Xiao family in Wutan City..."
Hearing this, Li Xiao abruptly sat up. "He went to the Xiao family?"
"Yes," Yun Yun nodded. "I just saw him yesterday. It looks like he went with Yun Sheng and Yun Lei."
Li Xiao narrowed his eyes. Damn, these past few days, he'd been so lost in the comforts of love that he forgot the next important phase.
It finally happened.
Dressing quickly, the two went to Misty Cloud Sect's meeting room. At that moment, Grand Elder Yun Leng was smiling and discussing the next steps with several elders.
Seeing the Sect Master and Li Xiao enter, Yun Leng immediately stood up and bowed. "Sect Master, Li Xiao."
Yun Yun's gaze was no longer filled with the earlier charm; instead, it was sharp and fierce.
"Yun Leng, how dare you! You went to the Xiao family in Wu Tan City without permission!"
"Sect Master!" Grand Elder Yun Leng quickly responded, "I did this for the reputation of Misty Cloud Sect. If we do nothing about this person who killed our outer sect's deacon Mo Cheng, we will be ridiculed by the world!"
"Silence."
A crisp slap echoed through the room.
Everyone in the meeting room looked twisted with shock.
A bright red handprint appeared on Grand Elder Yun Leng's face.
"Huh?" Yun Leng was stunned, staring in confusion at Li Xiao. Although he felt anger, he didn't dare express it.
Li Xiao's strength was far beyond his. Even if several Dou Kings joined forces, they couldn't match the master of Heaven Ascending Pavilion. A slight mistake could lead to their obliteration.
Yun Sheng stood up and said, "Sect Master, the Grand Elder acted for the good of the sect. Moreover, their visit to Wu Tan City did not cause significant harm to the Xiao family, just some property damage."
"The Xiao family doesn't know our identity, so let's let this matter slide."
Yun Yun retorted angrily, "Xiao Yan is no fool. He will eventually suspect Misty Cloud Sect. Have you not had enough of the recent fiascos?"
The elders looked innocent, but what could they do? The matter in the Xiao family had been resolved, but why was the Sect Master still so furious?
Li Xiao said gravely, "Yun Leng, your visit to the Xiao family wasn't just about property damage, was it?"
"What?"
Grand Elder Yun Leng looked up abruptly, his eyes evasive. "Pavilion Master Li, what do you mean by that?"
"Exactly what I said."
Li Xiao replied indifferently, "You old fool, since this calamity is destined for you, I will no longer consider Misty Cloud Sect."
Yun Yun wanted to ask further, but suddenly, a fierce killing intent surged from outside the hall. Almost instantly, all the strong individuals of Misty Cloud Sect gathered at the square,
They stared curiously at Xiao Yan, a disciple of the Xiao family.
Isn't this guy supposed to have left? Why is he back?
Could it be that he wants another duel with Nalan Yanran?
The disciples of Misty Cloud Sect whispered among themselves, feeling great hostility towards Xiao Yan. If it weren't for him, Misty Cloud Sect wouldn't have suffered such humiliation!
"Yun Leng, you old dog, get out here!"
Xiao Yan, holding his Heavy Xuan Ruler, glared at the approaching Grand Elder Yun Leng.
"Are you really courting death!" Yun Leng was also furious. He didn't catch this guy when he went to the Xiao family; otherwise, Xiao Yan wouldn't be here now!
"Old man, hand over my father. Otherwise, even if Sect Master Yun Yun protects you, I'll make you pay a painful price today!"
Already angered by Li Xiao, Yun Leng exploded with rage. Who did Xiao Yan think he was, daring to insult him!
"What arrogance! I've been looking for you. Today, you will stay in Misty Cloud Sect!"
"Yun Leng, shut up!"
Yun Yun and Li Xiao teleported to the scene, their powerful auras causing the members of Misty Cloud Sect to bow in respect.
"Greetings, Sect Master!"
"Greetings, Pavilion Master Li!"
