Chapter 111: You've Changed
"Since that's the case, why don't you go have a heart-to-heart talk with the princess tonight?"
Seeing Xiao Yan's current state, Ya Fei gently turned her head away.
"I still can't bear to leave you alone in an empty room," Xiao Yan said earnestly.
"Just keep acting," Ya Fei said, rolling her eyes. She then took out an envelope and handed it to Xiao Yan.
"This is an invitation from the Misty Cloud Sect. You're now a great benefactor of the Misty Cloud Sect. They're reportedly throwing a grand banquet to thank you and even want to erect a statue of you in the Misty Cloud Sect."
"A statue?" Xiao Yan was stunned, then gave a somewhat helpless laugh.
The Misty Cloud Sect was quite calculating. If they erected a statue of him, his relationship with the Misty Cloud Sect would truly be bound together.
Xiao Yan had no intention of tying himself to this sect. He only wanted to be tied to that pair of stunning master and disciple.
"The letter has been delivered. The rest depends on your attitude, old master." Ya Fei looked at Xiao Yan quietly.
"Forget the statue. But since you're inviting this young master, I should still go and visit." Xiao Yan smiled slightly.
"I knew you would say that. Three days from now, that little girl Na Lan Yan Ran will come to invite you." Ya Fei's face showed a hint of disappointment.
"You don't look very happy." Xiao Yan glanced at her.
"How dare this concubine?" Ya Fei looked at Xiao Yan innocently.
"This young master sees that your courage has grown recently. Tonight, I must educate you properly." Xiao Yan chuckled, teasing Ya Fei until her face turned red.
In contrast to Xiao Yan's relaxed demeanor, the Misty Cloud Sect was currently enjoying a time of peace and prosperity.
"Ancestor, Old Sect Leader, with both of you returning at the same time, our sect is truly about to rise again!"
The current Second Elder of the Misty Cloud Sect, flushed with drink, was still incredibly excited.
"Hehe, it would be difficult with just me. But now that the Old Ancestor has returned, and with the legacy the Old Ancestor brought back from back then, the Misty Cloud Sect is indeed destined to rise."
Yun Shan, on the side, was also beaming with joy. Breaking through to Dou Ancestor had already put him in a great mood. But Yun Po Tian's return was an unexpected delight.
Yun Shan knew very well that with a Dou Venerate expert personally guiding them, the Misty Cloud Sect's higher-ups would soon experience an overall breakthrough in strength.
If he had been guided by a Dou Venerate expert back then, perhaps he would have already been a Dou Ancestor.
But now, it was a double blessing.
"Yun Shan, what level are the remaining cultivation techniques of the Misty Cloud Sect at now?" Yun Po Tian, floating ghost-like in the main seat, inquired during the banquet.
"Replying to the Ancestor, since you disappeared, several of the Misty Cloud Sect's highest-level cultivation techniques and battle skills have been lost. Now, the highest-level cultivation technique remaining within the sect is only one, a low-grade Earth-rank technique, the Misty Cloud Heavenly Technique."
Yun Shan whispered.
"Only one low-grade Earth-rank technique left? No wonder the sect has declined to this extent." Yun Po Tian's face showed a hint of self-mockery.
"However… now that I have returned, the Misty Cloud Sect will naturally reclaim its former glory."
Suddenly, he laughed heartily: "Tomorrow, I will teach you a new technique."
As he spoke, his gaze swept over Yun Yun and her disciple.
"I was able to escape, and it's all thanks to you two children."
"Indeed, Yun'er and Xiao Yan Ran are indeed the Misty Cloud Sect's good fortune." Yun Shan chimed in from the side, a flicker of a strange expression in his eyes.
"Huh, where's Yun Leng? I haven't seen him around lately," Yun Shan suddenly realized a familiar face was missing.
"Teacher, the Great Elder was severely injured by Xiao Yan a few days ago and is still resting," Yun Yun said, getting to her feet, a trace of awkwardness on her delicate face.
"Beaten by Mr. Xiao Yan? What happened? Could it be that Yun Leng provoked Mr. Xiao Yan?" Yun Shan frowned.
"I don't think so… I don't know why he suddenly attacked," Yun Yun shook her head.
"Alright then." Yun Shan's brow relaxed slightly, though his thoughts were clearly elsewhere.
After the banquet, he instructed Na Lan Yan Ran, "Yan Ran, invite Mr. Xiao Yan to a banquet in three days. You must get him to come; he is a great benefactor of our Misty Cloud Sect."
"Yes, Grandmaster," Na Lan Yan Ran nodded, a hint of unease on her face.
Is Grandmaster being a bit too enthusiastic towards Xiao Yan?
"Hehe, if you handle this well, you will have made another great contribution to our Misty Cloud Sect."
Yun Shan said with a smile, "With your talent, it won't take long for you to reach Dou Grandmaster. By then, you will be the young sect leader of our Misty Cloud Sect."
"Thank you, Grandmaster," Na Lan Yan Ran nodded slightly, her expression calm.
If it were in the past, becoming the young sect leader of the Misty Cloud Sect would have excited her somewhat, but now, for some reason, she felt no emotional ripple.
"Hehe, go back and rest first."
Yun Shan nodded and then looked at Yun Yun beside him, saying, "Yun'er, come with me for a moment."
"Yes, Teacher." Yun Yun's pretty face showed a hint of confusion, but she still chose to follow Yun Shan away.
After everyone left, Yun Po Tian looked in the direction where Yun Shan and Yun Yun had disappeared, a look of amusement on his face.
"This descendant is a bit too ambitious, but..." A mysterious smile appeared on his face as he transformed into a light, ethereal soul and departed from the spot.
"What? Teacher, you want me to seduce that Xiao Yan?" Yun Yun looked at Yun Shan in disbelief in the main hall prepared for him.
"Yun'er, with your beauty, how can you say it's seduction? It's just that Xiao Yan has feelings for you, and you're just going along with it."
"Teacher, Xiao Yan already has a fiancée. One of his purposes for coming to the capital is to break off the engagement with Yan Ran. You want me to seduce him? I can't do such a thing."
Yun Yun looked at Yun Shan, feeling both ashamed and angry.
"Hehe, if he has a wife, being a concubine is also an option, isn't it?" Facing Yun Yun's emotions, Yun Shan's expression remained calm.
"Concubine…" Yun Yun's eyebrows furrowed even deeper.
"Teacher, I admit I do owe Xiao Yan a lot. I will naturally find a way to repay him in the future, but to be a concubine, and to actively seduce him, this is something I cannot do."
"Yun'er!" Yun Shan's voice suddenly became much heavier.
"Repay? Do you really think you can repay the favor you owe that Xiao Yan?"
"Besides, what's wrong with being a concubine? You should know by now how powerful the forces behind Xiao Yan are. If you can win his favor, there won't be much stopping you from becoming a Dou Ancestor, or even a Dou Venerate.
And my Misty Cloud Sect will truly rise. The opportunities Xiao Yan can bring will far surpass even Old Ancestor Yun Po Tian's revival, do you understand?"
Yun Shan spoke with a tone of earnestness.
"Teacher…" A trace of sadness appeared on Yun Yun's face.
"You've changed. You're no longer the same Yun Shan who was full of spirit back then. The old you wouldn't have bent your back, no matter how powerful the other party was. But look at you now, you're actively flattering others.
You are no longer the compassionate teacher I admired."
"I've changed?" Yun Shan was slightly stunned, then a strange expression appeared on his face.
"You're right, I have indeed changed."
Stuck on a chapter with writer's block, I'm begging you all to send some laxatives.
I know some readers might feel like there's been a bit too much romance lately, but the Jia Ma Empire Capital is, after all, a crucial location in the original story where a significant number of female characters gather. I have to write out some ideas that weren't in the original.
For the sake of some readers' opinions, and also for some of my own fantasies, don't worry, the Capital arc is nearing its end. It'll be over in a day or two at most.
Next, Xiao Yi Xian and Medusa will be making their appearances one after another. Of course, besides the female characters and romance, the other main plotline of this book will truly unfold.
Please believe me, this is a harem novel, but there are also other exciting stories to tell.
