  Chapter 337 Goodbye Yun Yun

  On the top of the back mountain of Yunlan Sect.

  Surrounded by clouds and mist, it looks like a fairyland.

  At this moment, on a huge black rock at the edge of the cliff, a beautiful figure was standing elegantly. The breeze blowing towards her made her long black hair flutter slowly. The hem of her skirt fluttered, revealing the woman's perfect outline.

  The woman was wearing an elegant white dress, and her long black hair was tied into the shape of a noble phoenix. She looked calmly into the eastern sky, which was the direction of the eastern part of the Warcraft Mountains.

  She remained silent, her stunningly beautiful face was like a blooming snow lotus, graceful, elegant, and not tainted by dust.

  At this moment, Yun Yun's curved eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and a trace of sadness flashed in her beautiful eyes, as if she had something on her mind.

  After a long period of silence, footsteps were suddenly heard behind. Yun Yun suddenly spoke. Her ethereal and pleasant voice made people feel as if their hearts were cleansed.

  "Yanran, weren't you going back to the imperial capital? Why are you back again?" She turned around gracefully and looked in the direction of the footsteps with a smile.

  The next moment, she froze on the ground, her shoulders trembling slightly, and her calm state of mind became flustered.

  Xiao Se casually took off the golden silkworm mask and looked gently in the direction of Yun Yun, with a gentle smile on his fair and smooth face.

  Nalan Yanran stood in front of Xiao Se's left. She did not notice the change in Yun Yun's expression, nor did she see Xiao Se take off the golden silkworm mask. She smiled and said to Yun Yun, "Teacher, look who I brought with me."

  As she spoke, Nalan Yanran turned sideways and looked at Xiao Se. When she saw his true face, Nalan Yanran was also stunned.

  It's not that she didn't suspect that Xiao Se had disguised himself, but when the truth was revealed, she couldn't help but be shocked. Because Xiao Se was too young, younger than she had imagined. Even more handsome. If he looked like he was in his early twenties after the disguise, then he was about the same age as her now, seventeen, no more than eighteen.

  After a long while, Nalan Yanran finally came to her senses. She took a deep breath, looked at the golden silkworm mask in Xiao Se's hand, and exclaimed: "Brother Xiao Huohuo, you..."

  "Ahem." Xiao Se coughed lightly and put away his smile. He looked at Nalan Yanran and said solemnly, "Miss Nalan, let me introduce myself again. My name is Xiao Se, from Gu Se. Due to some force majeure, I used the alias Xiao Huohuo to participate in the Alchemist Conference. Please don't blame me if I have offended you."

  "Ah, no. It's okay." Nalan Yanran stared at Xiao Se's handsome yet masculine face in a daze, her cheeks flushed and her eyes dodging.

  Nalan Yanran stroked her chest with her jade hand, exhaled heavily, and asked the most important question in her mind: "What about Xiao Huohuo? Oh no, is that Xiao Se the fourth elder of the Xiao family in Wutan City, Xiao Se?"

  Xiao Se shook his head and said, "I am the Xiao Se from Wutan City, but I have nothing to do with the Xiao family. The conflict between you and Xiao Yan is not your fault."

  Hearing this, although Nalan Yanran was still confused, she still breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Xiao Se would dislike her because of the broken engagement.

  "Hmm? Where's the teacher?" Turning her gaze to Yun Yun, Nalan Yanran was surprised to find that Yun Yun had disappeared. Subconsciously, Nalan Yanran looked in the direction where Xiao Se was standing and found that Xiao Se was also gone. "Brother Xiao Se, have you seen my teacher? Xiao..."

  Nalan Yanran looked around, and a distressed expression appeared on her beautiful face. "Strange, why are all the people gone?"

  The distant sky.

  Two streams of light, one blue and one gold, flew rapidly through the air. The two sides kept a distance of less than two meters. If you look closely, you can see that no matter how fast the blue stream of light speeds up, the gold stream of light can still easily keep up.

  "Yun'er, why are you hiding from me?" The golden light accelerated and instantly caught up with the green light. The two lights overlapped, and the light gradually faded, revealing the familiar figures of Xiao Se and Yun Yun.

  "Have you broken through to the Dou Zong level?" Yun Yun looked at her feet, then at Xiao Se's back, and found that the latter was not relying on any external force and was staying in the void. This was the sign of a Dou Zong powerhouse.

  "Well, I have been in seclusion for nearly a year and luckily made a breakthrough." Xiao Se said with a smile.

  "What a freak." Yun Yun rolled her eyes. Her cultivation had improved a lot in the past year and a half, but she still stopped at the eighth star of Douhuang. This was because the Huangji Pill given by Xiao Se increased her cultivation by two stars.

  "Yun'er, you haven't told me yet why you are hiding from me!" Xiao Se held Yun Yun in his arms.

  "Let me go." Yun Yun's cheeks flushed as she gently pushed Xiao Se. Although she refused, her resistance was so insignificant that she didn't even use any strength, let alone fighting spirit.

  "I won't let go. You are my sworn wife. If I let go, you'll run away and I won't have anyone to cry to. And I've said that next time I see you, I will never let go." As he spoke, Xiao Se hugged her tighter, pressing his whole body against Yun Yun.

  "Bah, bah, who is your wife? You are so shameless." Yun Yun rolled her eyes and stopped struggling. She just let Xiao Se hold her in his arms. Her red lips slightly raised, her pretty face pressed against Xiao Se's chest, she closed her beautiful eyes, and felt at ease.

  "That. Yun'er." After a moment, Xiao Se suddenly spoke.

  "What's wrong?" Yun Yun raised her head in confusion.

  "Take me to see your teacher." Xiao Se said seriously.

  "Why do you want to meet my teacher? He has been in seclusion ever since he passed the position of sect leader to me." Yun Yun looked a little flustered. Isn't it too soon to meet the parents now?

  "Then ask him to come out of seclusion. As for the death retreat, it is nothing more than breaking through the Dou Zong. The Dou Zong Pill is not a difficult task for me." Xiao Se continued.

  "Did something happen?" Yun Yun was not stupid and she had a vague idea in her mind.

  Xiao Se was stunned, and instead of answering, he asked, "Do you know why I have been hiding myself all these years?"

  Yun Yun shook her head without saying anything. She looked at Xiao Se, waiting for her next words.

  Xiao Se said solemnly, "Because I don't want to attract the attention of the Soul Palace. And the Soul Palace already has an Earth-level guardian who has come to the Jia Ma Empire. His current strength is, if nothing unexpected happens, a mid-level Dou Zong. I'm worried that your master has reached some unspeakable deal with the Soul Palace because he can't break through to the Dou Zong level."

  "The Soul Palace is a place that eats human flesh without leaving any bones. They wantonly collect the souls of the strong on the continent. The moment someone reaches a deal with the Soul Palace, they have already stepped into the latter's trap. They will add a kind of secret method that is hard to defend against into the elixir. After the person takes it, at the critical moment, he can extract the soul of the person planted with the secret method at any time for him to devour and improve his strength. By then, the end of Yunlan Sect can be imagined."

  "You mean, teacher has already..." Yun Yun showed panic on her face. As a Douhuang powerhouse, although Yun Yun rarely left the Jia Ma Empire, she had heard of the Soul Palace. Xiao Se's words were not sensational.

  "I also hope that my prediction is wrong. When I see your teacher, if everything is fine, everyone will be happy. If it is too late, I will find another way." Xiao Se sighed and said, "There is no time to lose, let's go there quickly."

  "Yes." Yun Yun did not hesitate. She did not care about being shy at this moment. She took Xiao Se's hand and flew in the direction they came from. Xiao Se felt that Yun Yun was too slow, so he simply put his arm around her waist, stepped into the air, and the two of them turned into a golden stream of light and flew quickly towards the Yunlan Sect.

  ps: In the second update, the protagonist and Yun Yun communicated with each other. Qingjiao had no inspiration, so she deleted and wrote, wrote and deleted, and simply decided to get on the bus first and buy the ticket later. After solving Yunshan's problem, we can slowly communicate with each other.
