"I'm Xiao Yan," Xiao Yan said, glancing at the old man blocking his path.
"Never heard of you," the old man replied, shaking his head.
"...I'm here to see Yun Yun," Xiao Yan explained.
"How dare you think you can just see our Sect Master…" The old man started to say, but then he took in the young man's face and the wings on his back, and swallowed his words.
"Allow me to inform the Sect Master," the old man said, just as the cloud mists behind him suddenly dispersed.
A beautiful woman, her teal Dou Qi wings spread wide, flew out from the dissipating mist.
"Mister Xiao Yan, I am truly sorry. I forgot to inform the Elder yesterday after I returned," Yun Yun said, a hint of apology on her face.
"No matter," Xiao Yan waved his hand.
"Sect Master Yun, let's talk over there, shall we?"
"Alright." Yun Yun nodded.
"By the way, what's the name of that Great Elder?" Xiao Yan asked out of the blue. He had a feeling there was something about that Great Elder that he hadn't quite figured out.
"The Great Elder's name is Yun Leng," Yun Yun replied softly.
"Yun Leng? No wonder the name sounded so familiar. In the original timeline, I would have been persecuted by this old geezer." Xiao Yan's thoughts shifted, and his figure instantly vanished from Yun Yun's side.
"Mr. Xiao Yan, you…" Feeling the fluctuations of Dou Qi around her, Yun Yun was startled. When she turned her head, she saw Xiao Yan's figure had already appeared in front of Yun Leng.
"What are you…" Yun Leng hadn't finished speaking when he felt a sharp pain on his face, and his mind went blank. He was sent flying like a cannonball towards a mountain peak.
Boom! His body slammed into the cliff, kicking up a cloud of dust, and then there was silence. He was probably unconscious.
"Mr. Xiao Yan, what are you doing?" Yun Yun's pretty face changed, and she was a little cold.
Xiao Yan's actions were a direct slap in the face to the Misty Cloud Sect.
"Nothing much, I just remembered I had some scores to settle with this person," Xiao Yan said, clapping his hands. His body flashed, and he returned to Yun Yun's side.
Yun Yun was secretly shocked by this speed, but her expression remained cold.
"Is Mr. Xiao Yan not going to give me an explanation?"
"An explanation?" Xiao Yan glanced at Yun Yun.
"If I give an explanation, that old man would have to die today. Sect Leader Yun, are you sure you want me to give an explanation?"
Yun Yun's heart trembled. She suddenly remembered the vast power behind Xiao Yan, a force that could easily destroy the Misty Cloud Sect.
But even so, a trace of anger still flickered in her heart.
"Don't be angry. I have my reasons for doing this, and you'll have a chance to understand later," Xiao Yan's voice suddenly softened.
"I hope so," Yun Yun took a deep breath, thinking of her teacher, who was on the verge of death. In the end, she swallowed her anger.
The two of them spread their Dou Qi wings and flew along the way, unaware that Nalan Yanran was watching them from a peak.
"I still have to ask him for help," Nalan Yanran's face was filled with worry when she thought of what had happened last night.
"Mr. Xiao Yan, the reason I invited you to the Misty Cloud Sect this time, besides hospitality, is that I have something I need to ask for your help," Yun Yun hesitated for a long time before finally speaking slowly in the sky.
She had just been cold to Xiao Yan, but in the next moment, she had to ask him for help. It was really difficult for Yun Yun to speak.
"I know," Xiao Yan smiled and nodded.
"You know?" A look of surprise appeared on Yun Yun's face.
"Sect Leader Yun, although you are a Dou Emperor, to be honest, your control over your emotions might not be as good as Ya Fei's." Xiao Yan chuckled, then continued, "But, I have always appreciated beauty, and I always try to help a beauty with her requests."
"Hehe, if that's the case, could I ask Mr. Xiao Yan to come with me?" Yun Yun forced a smile. From Xiao Yan's words, she faintly heard some other meaning.
"No problem." Xiao Yan nodded. The two continued flying for a while, and finally slowly descended in front of a mountain cave overgrown with weeds.
"This… is where my teacher is in closed-door cultivation." Yun Yun looked at the cave with a complicated expression, and finally led Xiao Yan inside.
Could her teacher be Yun Shan? Xiao Yan's heart stirred.
I wonder if there are any remnants of the Hall of Souls here. If there are, hehe.
"The Two Elders, observe whether there are any remnants of the Soul Clan here later," Xiao Yan silently transmitted to the souls of the Wen and Wu Elders hidden in the space not far away.
"Young master, rest assured."
Xiao Yan nodded, then continued to follow Yun Yun inside. The cave entrance was deep, but it eventually ended. Soon, the two of them arrived in a spacious cave.
Inside the cave sat an old man, his aura filled with the decline of age. The old man exuded the aura of a peak Dou Emperor, but his life force was like a dying lamp, barely flickering.
"Yun'er, this is Mr. Xiao Yan, right?" Yun Shan opened his cloudy old eyes and looked at the young man before him. Even though he'd already received the news, he was still shocked by the youth of the boy.
A Dou Emperor at fifteen or sixteen years old was simply an impossible legend on the Northwest Continent.
"Yes, Teacher." Yun Yun nodded gently.
"Mr. Xiao Yan, my life is nearing its end. I heard that you come from a great clan in the Central Region. Yun Shan dares to ask you for a method to break through to Dou Ancestor. For this, I am willing to give up everything, even the Misty Cloud Sect."
Facing Xiao Yan, Yun Shan made no attempt to hide his intentions, directly expressing his thoughts.
For him, his life was like a dying ember, and Xiao Yan was his last lifeline. If he couldn't grasp it, it was almost like waiting for death.
"Teacher." Yun Yun looked at the old man before her, who was practically begging, with a complex and sorrowful expression.
Once upon a time, his teacher was so full of spirit, brimming with ambition. But now, he seemed like a madman driven to the edge, exhausting everything in his desperate pursuit of becoming a Dou Ancestor.
"Mr. Xiao Yan, I implore you to help my teacher. I know this request is excessive, but if it can save my teacher, Yun Yun is willing to sacrifice everything, without hesitation."
Yun Yun bowed to Xiao Yan.
"No need." Xiao Yan shook his head, glanced at Yun Shan, then at Yun Yun, and suddenly gave a wicked smile.
"Let's find a place to talk, privately."
Yun Yun's body stiffened, but she eventually nodded.
In her heart, she already had a bad feeling.
Ignoring Yun Shan, Xiao Yan followed Yun Yun out of the cave. Yun Shan, watching this scene, had a faint gleam in his cloudy old eyes.
After leaving the cave, the two of them flew towards another hidden side hall of the Misty Cloud Sect.
"The Two Elders, did you find any remnants of the Soul Clan in Yun Shan's cave?" Xiao Yan asked quietly during the flight.
"Reporting to Young Master, we found nothing," came Xiao Wen's soul transmission.
"That's good," Xiao Yan nodded, continuing to follow Yun Yun.
Unbeknownst to them, Nalan Yanran was also speeding in their direction.
"Mr. Xiao Yan, as long as you can save my teacher, you can make any request. I will do my best to fulfill it, as long as I am able."
In the side hall, sandalwood incense burned gently, and Yun Yun poured a cup of tea for Xiao Yan.
"Anything?" Xiao Yan held the Misty Cloud Sect's special tea in his hands, glanced at Yun Yun with a smile, and a trademark mischievous grin playing on his lips.
Staring at Xiao Yan's gaze, Yun Yun was almost certain of his intentions.
She truly hadn't expected that Nalan Yanran's fiancé would be such a lecher.
"Mr. Xiao Yan, must it really be this way?" Looking at the mischievous-looking youth before her, Yun Yun's body trembled slightly.
"That's right, Sect Leader Yun Yun. Now that things have come to this, I can be frank with you. You are the woman this young master must have. If you want to save your teacher, then offer yourself to me."
Xiao Yan finally stopped hiding his thoughts, speaking plainly and directly.
As a devoted fan of the original story, he knew how many people regretted the events with the beauty before him. Whether he was looking at it from the perspective of a former reader or from the perspective of a playboy, Yun Yun was a woman he had to have.
Even if Yun Shan wasn't involved, Xiao Yan would have sought her out.
"Isn't there another way?" Yun Yun's voice trembled slightly.
"Heh heh, besides you, is there anything else in the Misty Cloud Sect that interests me?"
Xiao Yan gave a chuckle.
"Wealth, pills, or cultivation techniques and Dou techniques?"
Yun Yun's face turned slightly pale.
"Actually, breaking through to Dou Ancestor is very simple." Xiao Yan's finger lightly brushed across his storage ring, and a palm-sized, icy jade box appeared in his hand.
"I have a ready-made Breaking Ancestor Pill here. If Yun Shan fails to break through this time, I can add another one."
Xiao Yan looked at the woman before him. Her black hair was bound up with a phoenix crown, exuding nobility and grace. Even the loose white robe couldn't conceal her impressive figure.
Her exquisitely beautiful face was neither seductive nor pure, but possessed a more unique kind of beauty. Her demeanor was clearly very noble, yet she subtly displayed a hint of almost imperceptible tenderness.
This was a type of allure that was very attractive to men, even surpassing Ya Fei's seductive charm.
"Sect Leader Yun Yun, you wouldn't want your teacher to slowly die of old age, would you?" Xiao Yan leaned in close to her ear, a mischievous grin on his face.
"I understand." Yun Yun closed her eyes in despair, but after a moment, she opened them again, a determined look in her beautiful eyes.
At this moment, Nalan Yanran had arrived outside the side hall's door.
"In that case, I will grant your wish. I hope you keep your promise and help my teacher break through to Dou Ancestor." Tears welled up in Yun Yun's beautiful eyes, but she resolutely untied her belt.
The next moment, her outer robe gently slipped off.
However, before the garment could hit the ground, it was caught by Xiao Yan's hand and gently put back on her.
"Really, if I ask Xiao Yan for help again this time, I won't be able to hold my head up in front of him for the rest of my life." Outside the door, Nalan Yanran's face was troubled, but remembering the secret within the great stone that concerned the entire Misty Cloud Sect, she ultimately pushed the door open with determination.
With the opening of the door, Nalan Yanran's pretty face instantly stiffened upon seeing the scene inside.
In the side hall, her teacher's outer garment was half-removed, and that garment was, at this moment, held in the hands of her former fiancé.
Boom! A bolt of lightning seemed to strike.
Nalan Yanran felt as if her worldview was collapsing.
