Nalan Su stood up and gave Xiao Yan a deep bow, his words filled with regret.
He was thinking that if he hadn't let his daughter take Yun Yun as her master, but instead let her and Xiao Yan get to know each other early on and stay by his side during his low point, would today be a different scene?
However, he also knew there were no 'ifs' in this world.
He had gained a daughter who was the Young Sect Leader of the Cloud Mist Sect, but he had lost a Genius young son-in-law, and even more, lost a connection with a Dou Zong who possesses a Heavenly Flame—although that Dou Zong was his daughter's Masters Husband, his daughter clearly couldn't make use of that connection.
"Clan Head Nalan is indeed straightforward. Then let's go see the Old Master!" Xiao Yan nodded with a smile, finished his tea in one gulp, and walked toward the courtyard gate.
Seeing this, Nalan Su and Nalan Yanran hurried forward to lead the way!
...Just as Nalan Yanran brought Xiao Yan to the Nalan Family, a woman appeared at the entrance of the Mittel Family. She wore a gold-inlaid purple form-fitting brocade robe and a veil over her Face. Her long hair was tied in the shape of a soaring Phoenix. Although her Face was hidden, her eyes were full of tranquility. Her noble temperament and the faint Aura of a powerful expert made the guards at the Mittel Family entrance dare not steal a second glance.
After a long while, the squinty-eyed Miteer Tengshan appeared at the main gate to see the visitor.
'Good heavens, the disciple just left and now the teacher is here. Did I open the Mittel Family gates the wrong way today? How did I end up poking a nest of Cloud Mist Sect members!' Teng Shan's heart was shaking, but he stepped forward without showing any emotion.
"Your Excellency, please come in!" Seeing that Yun Yun was veiled, Teng Shan knew she didn't want to reveal her identity, so he didn't expose her.
"Thank you, Clan Chief Teng Shan!" Yun Yun nodded, her voice elegant and calm.
"Please!"
"Please!"
After leading Yun Yun to the main hall to sit, Teng Shan spoke up, "Sect Master Yun, for you to visit my Mittel Family, I wonder what important matter brings you here?"
Yun Yun shook her head. "I wouldn't call it a formal visit; I'm here at Mittel in a private capacity. My purpose... my purpose is to find the Dou Zong who came to the Mittel Family yesterday!"
Teng Shan was completely baffled upon hearing this.
In a private capacity, yet looking for Great Master Chen Yang—what was Yun Yun up to?
Just as Teng Shan was about to ask further, a voice suddenly rang out from the hall entrance, "Clan Head Teng Shan, you go ahead with your business. I'll take Yun'er with me!"
Teng Shan was stunned. Turning around, he saw that the person speaking at the door was indeed Chen Yang.
"Yes!"
Teng Shan didn't say more and turned to leave. Once he left the hall and rounded a railing, he suddenly froze in place. 'Wait, what did Great Master Chen Yang just call Sect Master Yun?'
Teng Shan felt as if he had discovered an incredible secret!
...After Teng Shan left, Chen Yang stepped forward and took Yun Yun's hand. "I heard Nalan Yanran came looking for Xiao Yan, so I knew you were back too. Why did you only come to find me now?"
Yun Yun smiled softly and reached out to remove her veil. "I knew you had other confidantes here, and you surely haven't seen each other for a long time, so I didn't come to disturb you yesterday. It's just that I missed you so dearly today, so..."
Yun Yun's voice was the same as ever, sounding as if one were floating in the clouds, but her beautiful eyes were filled with longing, as if she hadn't seen Chen Yang for much longer than just a day.
"We only parted yesterday morning and you already miss me this much? When you return to the Cloud Mist Sect, won't you be skipping work every day?" Chen Yang said with a laugh.
Yun Yun didn't understand what Chen Yang meant by skipping work, but she could roughly grasp the meaning.
"I don't know!" Yun Yun shook her head. She didn't know if she would sneak down the mountain to find Chen Yang after returning to the sect. "Perhaps it's because I'm also in the Jia Ma Holy City right now. If I leave here and return to Yun Lan Mountain, maybe I won't miss you so intensely!"
Chen Yang reached out to pull the woman into his arms and teased her, calling her a fool. Yun Yun smiled, leaning into his embrace and greedily breathing in his scent.
"Come on, since you're here, I'll take you to meet them!" After two and a half minutes, Chen Yang released Yun Yun and said.
"Alright!" Since Yun Yun had come to the Mittel Family, she was naturally prepared to meet Chen Yang's other confidantes.
Holding Yun Yun, Chen Yang flashed out the door and appeared in the courtyard in less than two and a half seconds. Seeing Yun Yun, the Amethyst Winged Lion King in the doghouse instinctively shrunk back; it remembered that it had once offended this mistress.
"Sister Ya Fei, Xian'er, Qing Lin!"
"Let me introduce you. This is Yun Yun!"
Chen Yang looked at the three women who were arranging the meal and said with a light smile.
"Yun Yun?"
"The Sect Master of Yun Lan Sect, Yun Yun?"
Hearing this, the women's expressions tightened as they turned to look at this legendary Dou Huang expert, the Sect Master of the Cloud Mist Sect...
