Beat up the future Saint-Rank Heavenly Sovereign while he's still weak?
"Hiss~"
Honestly, for a moment, Yun Yun was tempted.
No matter what Chu Xiao's future achievements would be, he was currently just a Dou Master.
With her Dou Emperor Cultivation, wouldn't it be easy to beat him up while hiding her identity?
When Chu Xiao rose to power, she could also boast that she was the woman who had beaten Chu Heavenly Emperor.
But she quickly remembered that the notebook owner could not harm Chu Xiao in any way, or else the notebook would be stripped and her memories Sealed.
This was something she couldn't do even if she wanted to, and for now, she didn't want to lose this notebook.
"Since you know your actions were wrong, why do you still want to beat him up?" Yun Yun frowned slightly, deliberately putting on a stern face.
Nalan Yanran felt wronged, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes filled with indignation: "Teacher, he made me cry!"
"Since my birth, Nalan Yanran has never suffered such a great humiliation; I absolutely cannot let this go."
The annulment of the engagement was due to her not using the right method, but she was young and inexperienced after all, so it was normal to make mistakes; she could compensate and apologize.
However, Chu Xiao had belittled her, pointing at her nose and calling her a "white-eyed wolf" and "brainless," making her lose all face in the Xiao Family.
This matter absolutely could not be easily forgiven.
"But you were in the wrong first. This matter, in the end, was guided by Ge Ye behind the scenes, which led to this situation." Yun Yun reached out and placed her hand on Nalan Yanran's head, saying earnestly: "If you feel ashamed, you should know to be brave after shame, strive to improve yourself, and not become the kind of person he described, using facts to tell him that he misunderstood you and should apologize to you."
"As for venting your anger, wouldn't it be a laughingstock for me, a nearly thirty-year-old Dou Emperor, to beat up a Dou Master who is not even twenty?"
"If you want to vent your anger, you can, but you must rely on your own efforts."
Nalan Yanran actually understood the principles; she was just speaking harshly in the heat of the moment, a Young Miss's way of pouting to an Elder.
If Yun Yun had truly agreed, she would have felt very awkward, thinking of herself as a petty person.
To "seek revenge," she would, of course, rely on her own efforts.
"But Teacher, he reached Dou Master at eighteen; when can I catch up to him?" Nalan Yanran seemed a bit dejected, with an unperceived admiration in her eyes.
In a Family where the Clan Chief was merely a Great Dou Master, Chu Xiao, as an outsider, could reach Dou Master at 18, showing extremely strong talent.
She was afraid that in three years, when she turned eighteen, she wouldn't be that strong.
"Do you not have confidence in your teacher?" Yun Yun's aura subtly changed, her tone arrogant: "With your talent, and my guidance, plus the resources of the Yun Lan Sect and Nalan Family, you will certainly reach the Great Dou Master level at eighteen."
"If you strive hard and are willing to enter the Gate of Life and Death and gain the recognition of your predecessors, reaching the Dou King level around twenty is not a problem, and you might even become a Dou Emperor earlier than your teacher."
"But if you fall into self-doubt, you will become mediocre."
Hearing this, Nalan Yanran's heart gradually became active, and her eyes grew brighter.
When Yun Yun said this, she naturally trusted her without reservation.
"In three years at the fastest, or five to six years at the slowest, I will be able to beat you however I want." Nalan Yanran clenched her small hands: "Chu Xiao, just you wait for me."
Thinking of Chu Xiao being beaten, her lips unconsciously curved into a smile.
Yun Yun saw her expression and her mouth twitched slightly: "Yanran, your teacher's words were a white lie. Your Cultivation is your own; don't blame me."
Wanting to surpass a Heavenly Venerate who has undergone Rebirth in terms of Cultivation speed? It's simply impossible.
She was merely giving Nalan Yanran a false hope to stabilize her emotions.
"You haven't slept all night. Get some good rest, and when you wake up, Cultivate diligently."
Yun Yun gently stroked Nalan Yanran's back.
The latter was already tired and settled comfortably in Yun Yun's embrace, quickly falling into a dream.
Gently lifting her onto the bed and covering her with a blanket, Yun Yun used her movement technique, leaving like a gust of wind.
A few breaths later, she appeared in the main seat of the back hall of the business association, gently tapping the table with her finger.
"Sect Master!"
Ge Ye and the head of the business association, who were discussing matters, looked over at the sound. Upon realizing it was Yun Yun, they immediately stood up to greet her.
"You may leave first." Yun Yun's gaze swept towards the head of the business association.
"Yes, Sect Master." The head lowered his head and backed out of the back hall.
Only two people remained in the room. Ge Ye felt Yun Yun's gaze fall upon him, giving him the sensation of being targeted by a Vicious Beast.
Gulp!
As time passed, a layer of sweat appeared on Ge Ye's forehead, and his back became more and more bent.
"Thud!"
After an unknown amount of time, Ge Ye could no longer support himself and knelt on the ground.
"This subordinate knows his mistake!" Ge Ye's voice became hoarse from fear.
"A single yin cannot grow, and a single yang cannot be born. This Sect allows the existence of radical factions because it is beneficial for the Sect's development."
"However, this is not a reason for someone to overstep their bounds, or even scheme against the Sect Master and the Sect Master's successor."
After these two sentences, there was no more sound in the back hall.
After a long while, Ge Ye slowly looked up and found that Yun Yun was no longer there.
"Hoo!" Ge Ye collapsed directly, his clothes soaked with sweat, as if he had just been pulled out of water.
He understood that Yun Yun was truly angry this time.
Those words were for him to convey to the Elder Council.
"I shouldn't have gotten involved in this!" Ge Ye's mouth was full of bitterness.
He only wanted to play both sides, hoping to gain resources and status to glimpse the Dou Ling realm.
Now, he was going to displease both sides!
On the other side, Yun Yun changed into a set of black clothes.
In less than a quarter of an hour, she flew outside Utan City, then slowly walked into the city.
After a quick inquiry, she learned the location of the Xiao Family and, after identifying the direction, walked towards it.
There were no urgent matters to attend to recently, so she planned to secretly observe Chu Xiao.
However, as she passed the Xiao Family Manor, she heard some commotion.
"Young Miss Xun Er, this bracelet was something I acquired at an auction. Would you accept it as a gift?"
A handsome man in white robes blocked a young girl in a purple dress, whose temperament was refined and whose appearance was exquisite.
"Xun Er!?" Yun Yun's pupils contracted.
Could it be the daughter of Gu Yuan, that Dou Saint nine-star Late Stage expert, the Young Miss of the Gu Family!?
"No need, stay away from me." Xun Er was expressionless, thinking to herself how unlucky she was.
"Young Miss Xun Er, would you do me the honor of having dinner with me?" The man didn't feel embarrassed and continued to pester her.
"Didn't Cousin Xun Er say to stay away from her?" Before Xun Er could speak, Xiao Yan stepped forward: "Jia Lie Ao, it's bad enough you look like a toad, but why are your thoughts like a toad's too?"
He had come out to buy a wood-attribute demonic core, but he didn't expect to see Xun Er being pestered by the eldest young master of the Jia Lie Family.
He had taken his mother's words from last night to heart and now considered Xun Er his future cousin-in-law.
This toad actually dared to covet his future cousin-in-law; he was practically courting death.
"Isn't this the good-for-nothing Xiao Yan?" Jia Lie Ao looked at Xiao Yan with disdain: "You, a three-segment Dou Qi, dare to speak to this young master like that? If I'm a toad, what are you?"
