Chapter 122 Yao Lao: Why don't you marry both you and your disciple?

Xiao Yan's lips twitched almost imperceptibly. He wiped his nose, remained silent for a moment, and then said:

"Disciple? That is indeed a coincidence. I should have realized it sooner."

“Yunzhi,” Xiao Yan said, looking at Yun Yun who still didn’t understand what was going on, “No… perhaps I should call you Sect Leader Yun. You’re the Dou Huang master who made Nalan Yanran come to annul the engagement back then, right…”

"break off an engagement?!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Yun Yun gasped in shock, her beautiful face instantly draining of color and turning deathly pale.

"Yao Yan, you...you could you be Xiao Yan?!"

Xiao Yan nodded slowly.

In an instant, the surrounding hot air seemed to freeze.

Yun Yun felt a buzzing sound in her mind, and countless chaotic thoughts swept over her like a sandstorm.

Several years ago, she took Nalan Yanran as her disciple. The Yunlan Sect had strict rules, and she had high expectations for Yanran. She was basically grooming her to be the next sect leader of the Yunlan Sect.

Due to certain special rules, a sect leader's successor must not have any entanglements with men before becoming the official sect leader.

Not to mention, how could the sect leader of Yunlan Sect have a good-for-nothing with only three levels of Dou Qi as her husband?

Upon learning that Yanran was engaged to another man, she instructed her to go to the Xiao family to annul the engagement.

However, Yunyun later learned that when Nalan Yanran went to the Xiao family to break off the engagement, she not only failed but was also divorced by the useless young master of the Xiao family, who also made a three-year agreement with her.

Originally, Yun Yun thought it was just a joke.

But who could have predicted that the "good-for-nothing" whom she and her master regarded as a joke would not only be transformed, but would also have such an entanglement with her, who was using the alias Yunzhi, in the Monster Mountain Range, and even... had physical intimacy.

And when they met again, the other party had such a terrifying teacher...

This……

A surge of burning shame and utter embarrassment rushed to Yun Yun's cheeks, her ears instantly turning bright red, and even her neck flushed a faint blush.

She opened her mouth, "Xiao Yan, I...I..." She stammered for a long time, but couldn't finish a single word.

Looking at the Yunlan Sect Master, who once could decide his fate with a single word, Xiao Yan now looked as embarrassed as a girl who had done something wrong. Recalling their ambiguous past, he couldn't help but wipe his nose and sigh inwardly: This damn world.

"Life is truly unpredictable." He sighed softly, then patted Gu He's shoulder beside him. "Speaking of which, Gu, back then, the Qi Gathering Powder that Nalan Yanran used to annul the engagement, was it you who made it?"

Danwang Guhe froze, nearly biting his tongue.

Damn, how did this get me involved?

He knelt down with a thud and kowtowed repeatedly, saying urgently, "Master! Your disciple truly knew nothing back then!"

Xiao Yan was amused by the middle-aged man's reaction. He waved his hand and then pulled him up, saying, "Alright, why are you all so nervous? I'm not going to kill anyone. The old things are long gone. I'm just going to fulfill the promise I made back then."

After this commotion, Xiao Yan felt the awkward atmosphere ease considerably.

The old apothecary chimed in with a smile, "Exactly, what's there to be nervous about? Little Yanzi, I can tell you're just as indecisive."

"Although one is the master and the other is the disciple, in my opinion, it would be fine for you to marry both of them, Xiao Yanzi."

"Teacher!" The awkwardness had just passed when Xiao Yan heard Yao Lao's words and felt a headache coming on.

"You're getting more and more indecent! I have nothing to do with Nalan Yanran anymore, as for Yunzhi and me..."

"Hey, Xiao Yanzi, that's not very interesting." Yao Lao stroked his non-existent beard, his eyes darting between Xiao Yan and Yun Yun, and chuckled, "Hehe, back in the Monster Mountain Range, you and Xiao Yun... tsk tsk."

The mumbled "tsk tsk" sound was like a small thorn, simultaneously piercing the hearts of both Xiao Yan and Yun Yun. Xiao Yan's ears suddenly turned red, while Yun Yun's cheeks flushed even more intensely, turning as red as agate baked by the midday sun in the desert, with an unnatural blush even behind her ears.

The past of the Monster Mountain Range was revealed to everyone, each scene so vivid it seemed like it happened just yesterday. Yun Yun felt all the blood rush to her face, her breathing became erratic, and she twisted her sleeves tightly until her knuckles turned white. She was much more nervous than before.

"senior!"

Yun Yun was both embarrassed and anxious, her voice trembling almost imperceptibly, "Xiao Yan and I were just... just strangers who met by chance, there was nothing more!"

"A chance encounter?" The old apothecary raised an eyebrow, deliberately drawing out his words. "Little Yun, ask yourself honestly, have you ever had such a 'chance encounter' with anyone else? Hehe, why don't you take out that thing you left for him and show it to everyone?"

“I…” Yun Yun was speechless, her mind uncontrollably flashing back to the inner armor she had given to Xiao Yan.

Her fingers clenched tighter, her eyelashes trembled like startled butterfly wings, her cheeks were so hot they almost burned, and her neck was tinged with a hazy pink.

Xiao Yan pretended to be admiring the scenery, tilting his head to one side.

Just now, when he caught a glimpse of Yun Yun's eyes sparkling with shyness, his heart skipped a beat, and the wind from the Monster Mountain Range seemed to blow into his heart again.

Gu He, standing to the side, stared in disbelief, glancing furtively at Xiao Yan before glancing at Yun Yun's face, which was flushed red.

Damn it, what are you guys so shy about?

Who would encounter someone like you by chance?
He stroked his chin, pondering: Judging from this trend, when I see Yun Yun in the future, won't I have to call her "Master's Wife"?

When Gu He recalled Yao Lao's words, "If you marry both of them," his face immediately darkened. Wouldn't that mean even Nalan Yanran would have to call him "Master's Wife"?
Damn, that's terrible. This relationship is too messy.

Seeing the two of them, Yao Lao chuckled and stopped teasing them. He then said, "Alright, alright, it's better to resolve this matter sooner rather than later. We'll be at Yunlan Sect soon enough. We can talk about anything else when we get there."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yan took a deep breath, suppressing the heat in his heart, and unfolded his Purple Cloud Wings. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Yun Yun still standing there, her cheeks still flushed, her eyelashes lowered, lost in thought.

"Let's go, Yun... Yunyun," he said softly, his voice still carrying a trace of lingering unease.

Yun Yun snapped back to her senses, glanced up at him, then quickly lowered her head again, humming softly as if a mosquito had rung in, and unfurled her battle aura wings behind her.

The two followed one after the other, maintaining a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

For the first part of the journey, no one spoke; only the wind whistled in their ears.

Yun Yun flew behind, but her gaze couldn't help but fall on Xiao Yan's back again and again.

Her heart skipped a few beats again, and she quickly looked away, gazing at the distant clouds, but her cheeks began to burn.

Xiao Yan was actually quite uncomfortable.

The gaze from behind seemed to carry warmth, making his back feel hot.

In addition, he was still wearing the inner armor given to him by Yun Yun, which seemed to still exude Yun Yun's scent, making Xiao Yan unable to help but recall the scenes from the Monster Mountain Range. His Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily, and his blood and qi felt hot.

As the old apothecary watched the two awkward figures, the smile on his lips never faded.

"Little Yanzi," the old apothecary's voice came again, tinged with mockery, "Why are you so far away from Xiaoyun? Are you afraid she'll eat you up?"

Xiao Yan: "..."

Yun Yun: "..."

Guhe, caught in the middle of the three, felt an awkward atmosphere so thick it could fill a three-bedroom apartment.

He simply turned his eyes to his nose and his mind to his heart, pretending to be a block of wood.
