Chapter 17: You Were Jilted, I Took an Apprentice (Part 2)

  Xiao Xing Meng took advantage of the fact that everyone was not paying attention, left the hall, and took out a black robe from his ring. With his strength, he quickly caught up with Nalan Yanran and her group. He descended rapidly in front of Nalan Yanran and her group, blocking their way.

  Nalan Yanran suddenly saw an old man with a slender build, wearing a black robe that covered his face, making it impossible to see his features. This person blocked the way but didn't say a word, as if he had come specifically to find them. The other party's sudden appearance and the aura they revealed seemed extremely powerful. Ge Ye couldn't gauge the opponent's strength, which meant their strength was above his own! Could it be that this person came with ill intentions?

  Both parties stood still in silence for a while. Gye Ye stepped forward, bowed and said: "I am Cloudy Peak Sect's elder Gye Ye, may I ask your honorable name?"

  First, throw out Yunlan Sect's big name and his own surname, then don't ask the opponent about their purpose of blocking the road, but first ask the opponent's name and identity to see if they are an enemy or friend of Yunlan Sect. Ge Ye's strength is not high, but he was chosen by Nalan Yanran to come here because among those arrogant and domineering people in Yunlan Sect, his way of handling things is the most tactful.

  If it were that young man next to him, he would probably burst out with profanity as soon as he opened his mouth.

  The black-robed man's voice surprisingly revealed a hint of surprise, saying: "Huh, people from Yunlan Sect? Great, you can help me with something." As for the role he was about to play, Xiao Xingmeng portrayed it perfectly.

  The voice sounds young, and the other party doesn't seem to be very old, but this reaction and response are a bit beyond Gu Ye's expectations. The other party seems to want to see someone from Yunlan Sect, and what's more, they even ask for help from Yunlan Sect with an overbearing tone and such skills...

  "May I ask what brings you here, is there anything we can assist you with?" Ge Ye asked. Ge Ye didn't dare to be rude in the slightest, and Nalan Yanran and the man also didn't make any moves, they just stood on the side, vigilantly watching.

  That black-robed man actually touched his own head, looking a bit embarrassed, and said: "Uh, I'm actually going to Yunlan Sect to do something, but I got lost while flying. It's just right that you're here, can you show me the way?"

  “….” This answer made Gye Ye and others stunned, flying around? Is this black-robed person above the level of Dou Wang? As for getting lost... Gye Ye didn't dare ask about this point either, it was better to think that the other party was a bit mentally handicapped, but Dou Wang... The other party was enough to kill all of them in an instant, absolutely couldn't afford to offend them.

  Thinking of this, Ge Ye became more and more respectful, and replied: "Of course there's no problem, but since your lordship can fly, wouldn't our leading the way delay your time? This is the communication jade slip of Yunlan Sect. Your lordship only needs to sense it once, and you'll be able to find Yunlan Sect." Even if this person had ill intentions, he wouldn't dare to kill his way up to Yunlan Sect with just a single Dou Wang. If the other party was a friend of Yunlan Sect, his response shouldn't have made them angry either.

  Making a show of it, Xiao Xing Meng casually accepted the jade scroll and continued speaking as if chatting with an old friend: "Looks like you're really from Yunlan Sect, not impostors. Ah, I didn't notice your clothes earlier, sorry about that. Actually, it was your sect leader Yun Shan who told me that his sect had just taken in a female disciple who's now a Three-Star Warrior. He asked me to send over some good wind-attribute techniques from my sect. This guy, I've known him for so long, and he still always gives me trouble."

  Xiao Xing Meng's "unintentional" words stirred up the other three people present, with Nalan Yanran being the most excited. This person was actually a friend of Yun Shan Sect Master and had come to impart his skills to him!

  All of the above is just Xiao Xing Meng talking nonsense. He thinks Yun Shan is a small character who isn't even qualified to be a middle BOSS, and he's also old, with no value for cultivation. He has never seen him before, but simply wants to find a way to make Nalan Yanran accept his teachings.

  Nalan Yanran walked out, bowed respectfully, and then said: "I am Nalan Yanran, I don't know if the senior is... here to teach me a powerful technique?" He couldn't help but feel that Nalan Yanran was too eager, as the other party claimed to have a powerful technique that even Yunlai Sect didn't possess, and he had rushed out to ask in excitement.

  Nalan Yanran didn't suspect Xue Xingmeng much, although many people knew that they had been taken in by the Yunlan Sect's disciples, but few people knew their face, let alone that they were promoted to be one of the three-star fighters and had a wind attribute physique. The black-robed man in front of him knew his affairs, but couldn't recognize himself, it seemed that he had learned about himself from the old sect master, so he hadn't seen himself before.

  "Heh heh, what a coincidence! Yes, indeed it's the Three Star Warrior and Wind Attribute Physique. Looks like you're around 15 years old too. Alright, these two scrolls are one Wind Attribute Middle-Grade Technique and one Low-Grade Martial Skill. If you don't believe me, just take this token (Soul Temple Token) and hand it over to Yun Shan."

  Middle-grade Earth Stage technique! Low-grade Earth Stage fighting skills! If these two things were to be revealed in the Gamara Empire, they would surely stir up a storm of blood and rain! It's worth noting that Nalan Yanran is currently only cultivating low-grade Earth Stage techniques!

  Taking the two scrolls and the token, Nalan Yanran returned the courtesy: "Your great kindness, Nalan Yanran dare not doubt your greatness. Accepting the token is only to hope that when the time comes, the Sect Master will decide which cultivation method the disciples will use in the future." Indeed worthy of being a young lady from a noble family, besides having a temper, she also has a way with her elders. She spoke as if she completely trusted Xiao Xingming, yet said let Yunshan decide, showing her respect for her elders.

  "Haha, little girl can talk after all. But, don't call me 'Respected One', just call me 'Shizu' (Master Ancestor) according to our generational difference. Don't believe me? Let me flip through... the Cloudy Peak Sect's Grandmaster Token is right here! Not worse than Old Man Yunshan's, huh?" Xiao Xing Meng thought: "You've learned my skills, so you have to call me 'Shizu' and establish a master-disciple relationship. I've already lowered my generation for you!"

  It's not just Nalan Yanran, all three of them knelt down and called out to their master ancestor. How come they can casually cancel the engagement and run into someone with a token similar to that of Yunshan's old master? Why didn't this master ancestor reveal the token earlier, I wonder if my previous behavior has offended this master ancestor...

  Of course, the token was called Yunshan Old Man to refine it. Xiao Xing Meng did not plan to go to Yunlan Sect to train Nalan Yanran for the time being. Ma Yi himself was too strong and killed Xiao Yan in seconds... didn't dare to imagine what that ancient clan's young lady would do. So he let her practice on her own first, and then come back to adjust it before the three-year appointment battle.

  After they woke up, Xiao Xing Meng disappeared again, leaving the three of them to feel at ease that Yunlan Sect had met such a strong person, and they all sighed in admiration of Nalan Yanran's good luck. Even coming to break off the engagement could get an extraordinary skill and a strong master, which was unprecedented even on this Miracle-filled Douqi Continent!
