As soon as the young man appeared, wisps of immortal energy seemed to emanate from the mountain stream. He walked step by step, his feet treading on the celestial mist.
A single glance was enough to stir the young girl's heart, causing a blush to rise on her skin, and her usually aloof eyes to ripple like spring water.
The old man rubbed his eyes in disbelief; the young man's appearance had given his aged body a feeling of floating on air.
Was he about to ascend to immortality?!
Oh! ()
It was an unprecedented visual experience, as if every inch of his skin throbbed with emotion!
Such an extraordinary person existed in the world; every move, every smile, every glance stirred the hearts of all. His appearance and temperament were like a celestial being descended to earth.
If a poem were to describe him, it would surely be: This person should only exist in heaven; how often can one hear of such a person in the mortal world?
The young man's voice, tinged with anger, startled Nalan Yanran. After a moment of stunned silence, she immediately rebuked the impetuous youth:
"Yun Chuan, what are you doing? We've come to pay a visit, not to cause trouble!"
"Young Master, I apologize. Our people were reckless. Yanran apologizes again. To make amends, please feel free to ask for anything you desire. Anything Yanran possesses, I'm willing to give you."
Ge Ye was stunned. He saw that Nalan Yanran, who was usually arrogant and groomed by the sect leader as the young sect leader, was actually blushing and looking at the young man with a spring-like smile, apologizing politely!
This was something he had never seen before!
And what did you mean by that last sentence? You're willing to give me anything you possess?
What are you implying? You'd even give me your virginity?
How dare you! This vixen is seducing my Qingyun brother?!
After hearing this, Xiao Xun'er's almond-shaped eyes widened, and she couldn't help but move closer to Su Qingyun, as if she were protecting her food.
She glanced at Su Qingyun, thinking to herself, "Brother Qingyun, please don't be fooled by this woman's appearance!"
"You shouldn't apologize to me. His target wasn't me, it was him. You should apologize to him,"
Su Qingyun said, feeling a strange unease under Nalan Yanran's gaze.
He pointed at Xiao Yan and spoke calmly.
Xiao Yan stared intently at the young man called Yun Chuan, his fists clenched. His strength was still too weak. When the opponent unleashed his Dou Zhe power, he was powerless to resist. How could he possibly protect Brother Qingyun? "
Look at that Nalan Yanran! She's looking at my Brother Qingyun with those lovesick eyes! It's too much!"
(Wait, isn't your focus a bit off? It's your fiancée falling in love with another man at first sight!)
"Yun Chuan, aren't you going to apologize to him?"
Nalan Yanran looked at the young man.
The young man was momentarily stunned by Su Qingyun's appearance, but was quickly brought back to his senses by Nalan Yanran's shout. He reluctantly said,
"I can apologize to this young master, but I can't apologize to this trash with only a third-stage Dou Qi."
The young man's gaze towards Su Qingyun was filled with admiration and reverence. The fact that this celestial youth had casually neutralized his fighting technique with his Dou Qi was enough to demonstrate his immense strength!
Moreover, this young man from the Immortal Dust Sect possessed extraordinary looks and was clearly no ordinary person; he must be a disciple of the senior who had caused the celestial phenomenon in the Fallen Immortal Ravine!
Bowing to him was not shameful; he would gladly serve as his underling!
As for this third-stage Dou Qi cultivator, he was plain-looking and of average talent—a mere servant. Did he deserve to bow down and apologize?
While Yun Chuan wasn't a peerless genius in the Yunlan Sect, he was considered above average in the Jia Ma Empire. Furthermore, his grandfather was Yun Ling, the Grand Elder of the Yunlan Sect—not someone anyone could easily trample on!
Yun Chuan glanced at Xiao Yan with disdain.
Such a contemptuous look, coupled with such sarcasm, would deeply wound a person's pride.
But Xiao Yan, having endured three years of this, was already used to it; the veins on his face bulged.
Yet, he gritted his teeth, forcing himself not to attack.
His opponent was quite strong, possessing the strength of a five-star Dou Zhe. Both he and Xun'er were lower in cultivation, and Qingyun had only just embarked on his cultivation journey. He couldn't provoke him, lest he bring trouble upon Qingyun.
Su Qingyun's celestial eyes narrowed, fixing on Yun Chuan, then glancing at Xiao Yan.
He knew that Xiao Yan must be struggling to hold back.

Su Qingyun simply said to Xiao Yan, "Since he's unwilling to apologize to you, then hit him back."
Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, pointing to himself,
"Brother Qingyun, me...me?"
Not only Xiao Yan was stunned, but even Nalan Yanran, who was almost out of her mind from being overwhelmed by love, and the old man Ge Ye were also dumbfounded.
Yun Chuan laughed even more wildly:
"Hit me? A guy with only three levels of Dou Qi? Does he dare? I'll give him a handicap, he can't even get close to me!"
He's a five-star Dou Zhe!
"So what if he's only three levels of Dou Qi? I'm only one level of Dou Qi."
Su Qingyun said calmly, giving Xiao Yan a reassuring look: "Do you believe me?"
This look actually made Xiao Xun'er and Nalan Yanran a little jealous!
It contained concern, protection, and composure. At this moment, they wished they could be this boy whom Yun Chuan looked down on!
Sensing that look, Xiao Yan instantly became incredibly energetic, his Dou Qi surging. He clenched his fists and charged towards Yun Chuan:
"I unconditionally trust Brother Qingyun! Whoever Brother Qingyun tells me to fight, I'll do it without hesitation!"
"You're courting death!"
Seeing Xiao Yan dare to attack him, Yun Chuan coldly snorted, his Dou Qi swirling within him as he unleashed a low-level Xuan-rank Dou Technique:
"Xuanfeng Palm!"
On the Dou Qi Continent, the strength of Dou Techniques is often the key to determining the strength of cultivators at the same level.
Dou Techniques also have varying levels of quality, ranging from strong to weak: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Yellow. Each level is further divided into low, medium, and high grades.
However, for ordinary Dou Zhe and below, learning even one or two low-to-medium Yellow-rank Dou Techniques is already extremely difficult.
As for Xuan-rank Dou Techniques, in Wutan City, only the elders and patriarchs of the three major families have the opportunity to learn them.
Yun Chuan, a disciple of the Yunlan Sect, surprised Xiao Yan by his ability to learn a Xuan-rank Dou Technique at such a young age.
However, Yun Chuan was even more astonished. His deliberately unleashed, higher-level Xuan-rank Dou Technique had once again vanished as a mere breeze, utterly devoid of any lethality!
Logically, his Xuanfeng Palm should have severely injured even an eighth or ninth-level Dou Qi cultivator, or even killed them instantly.
Yet, Su Qingyun's fingertips were shrouded in immortal energy. With a casual wave, though only a wisp or two, it coiled around Yun Chuan, suppressing his Dou Qi and preventing it from materializing into a Dou Technique!
Just as Yun Chuan was stunned, Xiao Yan seized the opportunity, skillfully gripping the wood-chopping axe and striking him twice with the blunt end, instantly creating a bloody heap. Then came a brutal beating, with only agonizing screams escaping:
"Ah! Kid, you're finished! You dare hit me!"
"I'm going to kill you! Ahhh!"
"Brother, I was wrong, don't hit me in the face..."
