Before him stood two beauties, one older and one younger. The elder one exuded an air of grace and nobility. Her long blue hair was styled in an elegant phoenix design, and her beautiful face was calm and serene.
Even the loose, moon-white robes she wore couldn't conceal her exquisite figure.
The younger one had a slightly cold expression. Her lovely hair cascaded down to her waist, unstyled. Compared to her teacher, she resembled a flower bud on the verge of bloom, already possessing the potential to captivate the world.
The appearance of this stunning pair of teacher and student made even the bright moonlight seem to dim slightly.
Even many of the influential figures in the capital were captivated by the scene.
It was difficult to imagine the kind of good fortune someone would have if they could possess both the teacher and the student.
"Your eyes are about to pop out," Ya Fei said with a touch of jealousy. Xiao Yan slowly snapped back to reality.
At this moment, the master and disciple also came before Xiao Yan.
"Xiao, Brother Xiao Yan, we meet again." Na Lan Yan Ran's tone was very unnatural. After hesitating for a moment, she chose to address Xiao Yan this way.
After all, although the engagement had been annulled, it was still a bit awkward, but Xiao Yan had minimized the conflict, so they couldn't just ignore each other when they met.
"Sister Yan Ran, you're here too." Xiao Yan nodded with a smile. His current appearance and temperament could indeed make many women's hearts flutter, and even Na Lan Yan Ran felt a certain indescribable way.
Humans could not possibly have a negative reaction to beautiful things and people.
"This is my teacher," Na Lan Yan Ran pointed to the graceful and noble beauty beside her.
"Mr. Xiao Yan, hello, I am Yun Yun, the current Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect." Yun Yun's pretty face showed a graceful smile.
"So you are Sect Leader Yun of the Misty Cloud Sect. I didn't expect you to be such a beautiful woman." Xiao Yan shook hands with Yun Yun, and her hand was very smooth.
Although he was eyeing the Sect Leader, Xiao Yan wouldn't reveal a lecherous expression in public. Instead, he acted with considerable grace.
"I heard in my sect that Mr. Xiao Yan, despite his young age, possesses remarkable cultivation. I never expected you to be this strong. I hope Mr. Xiao Yan will visit the Misty Cloud Sect when you have the time."
Yun Yun's smile was composed and elegant, exuding an indescribable beauty.
"Certainly, I will visit the Misty Cloud Sect when I have the time," Xiao Yan nodded with a smile.
"Well, let's not delay, how about tomorrow?" Yun Yun chuckled lightly, a hint of anxiety flickering in her beautiful eyes.
"Hmm? Something's not right." Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback.
According to the original story, this beautiful Sect Leader shouldn't be like this. And why does she seem anxious?
However, Yun Yun was one of his targets. After a moment of thought, Xiao Yan nodded slightly and said, "Alright, in that case, I will visit your sect tomorrow to have a look."
"Then I will await Mr. Xiao Yan's good news." Yun Yun chuckled softly, concealing the anxiety in her eyes, and left with Na Lan Yan Ran.
"Something's not right. This Yun Yun is not quite right." After the master and disciple left, a hint of doubt appeared on Ya Fei's face.
"How so?" Xiao Yan glanced at her.
"This Sect Leader Yun Yun is different from that Yao Ye. She herself is not a person with a strong sense of self-interest. In my understanding, she wouldn't deliberately try to curry favor with you because of your identity."
Ya Fei shook her head.
"Perhaps, she's encountered some trouble." Xiao Yan nodded and smiled slightly.
"It's good that she's in trouble! Without trouble, how could I woo this beautiful Sect Leader?"
"Are you smitten?" Ya Fei looked at him.
"Heh heh." Xiao Yan just smiled slightly and didn't say anything.
A trace of sadness flashed in Ya Fei's eyes, but she didn't say anything more.
She was a smart woman and knew what she should and shouldn't do.
Noticing her expression, Xiao Yan also didn't say anything, just gently squeezed her hand.
"Teacher, are you going to ask him to go to the Misty Cloud Sect tomorrow?" Beside the banquet, Na Lan Yan Ran looked at Xiao Yan, who was joking with Ya Fei in the distance, with a complicated expression.
"Yes." A hint of fatigue appeared between Yun Yun's brows. It was the first time she had met Xiao Yan, and asking for help wasn't easy for someone with her gentle temperament.
But remembering her teacher's life, which was like a dying lamp, she still had to do this.
"I really can't figure it out, how does this young man have such strength? What kind of terrifying power is behind him?" Yun Yun looked at the young man in white robes in the distance, and a hint of curiosity appeared deep within her beautiful eyes.
This young man, only fifteen or sixteen years old, occasionally revealed an aura that even she found dangerous.
"If only I had enough strength or another way to help Teacher," Na Lan Yan Ran sighed inwardly, watching Yun Yun's expression.
Suddenly, she thought of the large stone on the mountain peak where she practiced.
"Hehe, everyone, enjoy the food and drinks. In ten days, I will arrange an auction. You are all welcome to attend. The treasures will surely satisfy everyone."
During the banquet, Xiao Yan smiled and clinked glasses with several top figures from the empire.
The lowest cultivation level of these people was that of a Dou King. Any lower, and Xiao Yan really wouldn't bother to get to know them, unless the person was a particularly beautiful woman.
However, even if he didn't clink glasses with them, they dared not harbor any complaints. Didn't they see Jia Xing Tian himself respectfully toasting Xiao Yan?
To see the royal family's ancestor toasting a young man meant this dinner was not wasted.
At the same time, they confirmed one thing: this young man with terrifying energy was indeed supporting the Mite'er Family, or rather, supporting Ya Fei.
And there was indeed a connection between the Na Lan Family and this young man.
Everyone understood that the Jia Ma Empire's power structure would likely begin to shift slowly, depending on the young man's decisions.
As the banquet, which concealed countless hidden messages, dispersed, Na Lan Yan Ran followed Yun Yun back to the Misty Cloud Sect.
Clear moonlight and gentle breezes dispersed the mist that lingered around the Misty Cloud Sect year-round, causing the forest on the mountainside to rustle softly.
Moonlight spilled over the mountains, as if laying down a layer of cool silver light.
Na Lan Yan Ran walked with small, elegant steps and arrived at the large stone where she usually practiced, but now, she didn't dare to sit on it.
"Heh heh, little girl, you're here again." Along with a strange laugh, the face of an old woman reappeared on the large stone.
"Why should I trust you?" Na Lan Yan Ran's face still showed a wary expression.
"There's no reason. If you want to gain more powerful strength, do you have a better choice than me?" The old woman revealed a trace of a smile on her face.
"Then, how should I get you out?" Na Lan Yan Ran asked.
"You only need to find a Soul Stone." Seeing that Na Lan Yan Ran was moved, the old woman's eyes revealed a hint of smugness, but the next moment, her face suddenly changed.
"Don't listen to her." Another equally aged voice rang out.
"Damn it, it's been several hundred years, how come you still haven't completely died!" The old woman cursed, as if trying to mobilize her soul power to suppress that voice.
"I am Yun Po Tian, save me... save me!" The aged voice only sounded for a moment before dissipating, as if it had just been an illusion.
But Na Lan Yan Ran knew that this was not an illusion.
A chill rose from the bottom of her heart, causing her scalp to tingle slightly.
Some readers have commented that the harem scenes have been too frequent lately. I will make some adjustments, but with so many beautiful women in the Northwest Continent, could I let them go? Could Xiao Yan let them go?
The answer is obviously no.
The main themes of the Northwest Continent arc are the harem and Heavenly Flames. Of course, there will also be some unexpected little side stories.
