83: Chapter 83 Xun'er says, "I'm just that shallow."

"Sect Master of Yunlan Sect, what is she looking for me for?" Xiao Ting asked Xiao Yan as they walked, his tone quite puzzled.

"Who knows? I turned and left the moment I heard her identity," Xiao Yan said with a face full of bad luck.

"Is this Sect Master of Yunlan Sect very ugly?" Xiao Ting raised his eyebrows at Xiao Yan.

"Not ugly, actually very beautiful, and her temperament is quite outstanding." Xiao Yan answered subconsciously, then reached out to scratch his cheek: "But after knowing her identity, I didn't have any good feelings for her. How could she be a good person if she can teach a disciple like Nalan Yanran, who looks down on everyone?"

Hearing this, Xiao Ting smiled and didn't respond.

The cultivation environment within the Jia Ma Empire is still good, and the reputation of the Cloud Mist Sect has always been decent.

If this were in the Black-Corner Region, Nalan Yanran wouldn't be bringing an apology gift to break off the engagement; she would have directly sent a Dou Wang to slaughter the entire Xiao Family.

"A waste who cannot cultivate actually served as my fiancé, you are already courting death!"

"A Sect Master, a Dou Huang expert, I wonder what business she has with me." Xiao Ting nudged Xiao Yan with his arm: "Don't say, I'm actually quite curious. Brother Yan, what do you guess?"

"What else could it be?" Xiao Yan had already thought about this question and said confidently: "She must have heard of your cultivation talent and was moved to take you in as a disciple. But she knows nothing about your true talent. It couldn't be that she has taken a fancy to you and wants you to live off a woman, could it?"

Speaking to the end, Xiao Yan winked and made a joke.

"Who can say for sure?" Xiao Ting touched his own face: "With my looks, plus my cultivation talent, it's not impossible that a female Dou Huang expert would want me to live off her, right?"

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Ting's face, which was even more outstanding than Gu Tianle and Daniel Wu from his past life, and fell silent for a moment.

Unfair, this world is truly damn unfair.

"Uncle, Elders."

The two brothers arrived at the guest hall chatting and laughing. After entering the door, they immediately cupped their hands in greeting.

"Yan'er, Ting'er, no need for formalities. Find a seat," Xiao Zhan looked at the two with a smile, his mood appearing quite good.

Xiao Ting found a seat on the left side and then looked up at the main seat.

Sitting on the right was Xiao Zhan, and on the left sat a woman wearing a golden-inlaid purple tight-fitting brocade robe. Her facial features were exquisite, quiet, and beautiful. A pair of eyes seemed to be able to speak, like a clear spring in a secluded mountain that refreshes the heart. A head of ink-like black hair was coiled into the shape of a phoenix crying out. The whole person gave off a noble feeling.

While Xiao Ting was observing Yun Yun, the latter was also observing him.

【Yun Yun】: Xiao Ting's appearance is indeed outstanding. No wonder Xun'er likes him and is even willing to support him.

【Xun'er】: Am I such a shallow person?

【Medusa】: Suppose the person you loved and hated from childhood and became a bickering couple with was Xiao Yan.

【Xun'er】: I am indeed shallow.

【Xiao Yi Xian】: This is called starting with looks, being loyal to character, valuing talent, and having a suitable personality.

【Xun'er】: Sister Xiao Yi Xian, what do you want recently? I'll send it to you.

【Qing Lin】: Learned it, learned it!

The women were in the group chat, and Yun Yun just threw out a brick to attract jade and didn't pay attention afterward.

At this moment, she focused her attention on Xiao Ting and heard Xiao Zhan say: "Ting'er, Yan'er should have told you on the way that Sect Master Yun Yun has something to find you for. She came to the Xiao Family in person because she wants to invite you to join the Cloud Mist Sect for cultivation. I wonder what you think?"

Xiao Ting looked at Xiao Yan and saw his smug expression of "I knew it." He smiled and said: "Sect Master Yun Yun, I am a Lightning-Fire attribute Dou Practitioner, while the Cloud Mist Sect specializes in Wind attribute and sword techniques. It doesn't seem to suit me."

"If you agree, I will introduce Pill King Gu He to be your teacher." To avoid being discovered by Xiao Ting, Yun Yun had already thought of a reason: "Pill King Gu He is a guest elder of our Cloud Mist Sect, a Sixth-Rank Alchemist, has dual Wood-Fire attributes, and is also a peak Dou Wang expert."

"My talent is worth a Sect Master like you making a trip personally, and even specifically arranging for Gu He to teach me?" Xiao Ting expressed great surprise.

"This Sect Master did not come specifically for you." Yun Yun's expression remained unchanged, and she answered calmly: "My trip is to go to the Magical Beast Mountain Range to ask the Amethyst Winged Lion King for a purple spirit crystal. When passing through Qingshan Town, I thought of the sect's intelligence mentioning that Xiao Yan's cultivation talent had recovered, and that your talent, Xiao Ting, was not weak either, so I came to take a look by the way."

"After seeing you, I changed my mind and decided on the spot to find Pill King Gu He to be your teacher."

Speaking of this, Yun Yun paused and took the initiative to explain: "The Cloud Mist Sect practices sword techniques. My soul perception is quite good. Although I don't know your specific cultivation level now, it is definitely much stronger than a One-Star Dou Zhe. This talent is worth me speaking up."

"Hmm." Xiao Ting nodded noncommittally, then changed the subject: "Speaking of my Brother Yan, Sect Master Yun Yun, have you forgotten the Three-Year Agreement?"

"This Sect Master does not feel this is a problem." Yun Yun glanced at the ugly-faced Xiao Yan, her expression still calm: "Even if it happened again, I would still support Yanran in coming to break off the engagement. This has nothing to do with what kind of talent Xiao Yan has, but because Yanran is my direct disciple and, barring any accidents, will be the future Sect Master of the Cloud Mist Sect. Her partner cannot be decided lightly."

"Then she has to step on the face of me, my father, and everyone in the Xiao Family, to come and break off the engagement so high-profile!?" Xiao Yan's eyes were bloodshot, and he couldn't help but question: "I, Xiao Yan, also don't want to casually marry a woman I don't know as my wife."

"Not to mention that marriage is a matter of parents' orders and matchmakers' words, at least when my grandfather and Elder Nalan decided on the engagement between me and Nalan Yanran, it was definitely to deepen the relationship between the two clans and form a marriage alliance."

"By doing this, isn't she also stepping on the Nalan Family's face?"

"You are right." Yun Yun's eyes narrowed slightly, and she spoke under Xiao Zhan's nervous gaze: "When Elder Nalan Jie learned of this, he was so angry that his old wounds relapsed, and he is now lying in bed recovering from serious injuries."

"Breaking off the engagement was not wrong. It is only to be blamed that Yanran was too young and didn't handle it in a gentle way, instead aggravating the conflict. I have already criticized her for this."

On this matter, Yun Yun was both helpless and aggrieved. Her intention was for Yanran to come and talk to Xiao Zhan personally, to express her attitude and apologies accompanied by powerful figures from the Cloud Mist Sect, and to provide sufficient compensation. Once it became a fait accompli, as long as the Xiao Family had no objections, the Nalan Family wouldn't be able to say anything more, and all three parties would be happy.

Yet, Xiao Zhan made a big scene to welcome the people from the Cloud Mist Sect, and Nalan Yanran indeed did not consider things thoroughly, actually breaking off the engagement in public, which made the compensation feel like an insult.

To slap someone in the face like that, it would have been better if she had just sent a Dou Ling elder to the Xiao Family to force the engagement off; it would be making an enemy either way.

And all these, she had already mentioned to Xiao Zhan just now, which counted as a roundabout way to reduce Xiao Yan's bad feelings towards the Cloud Mist Sect.

As a Dou Huang expert and a Sect Master, she certainly could not explain this to two juniors.

Otherwise, it would seem as if she had no status, position, or prestige, and it would also arouse Xiao Ting's suspicion.

For this reason, she even had to goad Xiao Yan a little.
