In response to Ye Yun's question, the girl in the green dress smiled sweetly, revealing a sunny and radiant smile.

"Senior Nangong, my name is Jian Qing'er. If you don't mind, you can just call me Qing'er."

Judging from their speech, the other person is an outgoing type and has a sense of confidence.

Ye Yun was initially drawn to her surname.

Sword... that's a rare surname.

Although there is no such thing as a hundred surnames on this continent.

But most people's surnames are still those simple and straightforward types.

The surname Jian, like that of the girl in front of us, is rather unusual.

At the same time, the surname also gave him a sense of familiarity, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

So he asked, feigning nonchalance.

"Surname Jian...that's unusual. Where are you from? And why were you brought here?"

Although Jian Qing'er looks young, she has the cultivation level of the Yuanling realm.

Even if she were placed in one of the three holy lands, she would definitely be a top-tier prodigy, with an extraordinary background.

Upon hearing this, Jian Qing'er was quite frank and explained to him.

"I come from the Northern Continent. I originally came here to train, but I ran into these bad guys."

Towards the end, she still seemed somewhat indignant, as if she was very unhappy about being arrested!

"From the North Continent..."

Ye Yun paused for a moment, then thought for a moment.

Based on his impression of the Northern Continent, it was a territory ruled by an alliance of various forces.

He immediately looked Jian Qing'er up and down, and then asked a question.

"That's not all. Qing'er, which faction in the alliance do you belong to?"

After asking the question, he seemed to realize it wasn't quite right, so he added another sentence.

"Of course, if you feel it's inappropriate, you can choose not to say anything."

Otherwise, it would seem as if you were the one forcing the other party.

To his surprise, Jian Qing'er smiled and replied as soon as he finished speaking.

"As for me, I come from the Sword Clan of the Alliance, which is also the clan of the Alliance Leader."

"The clan to which the alliance leader belongs... I see."

Upon hearing her say that, Ye Yun immediately remembered.

right!

The leader of the Northern Continent Alliance seems to have the surname "Sword"!

It seems that the other party is from the same family as the leader of the Northern Continent Alliance!

Moreover, given her talent, she is very likely to be one of the most outstanding individuals among them, holding an extraordinary status!

In this situation, the other party's frankness was quite unexpected for Ye Yun, leaving him completely unprepared.

So much so that he couldn't help but mention it.

"Qing'er, aren't you afraid that by revealing your true nature like this, I might take you hostage and use you to threaten the Jian family?"

After all, the fact that Jian Qing'er had fallen to this state meant that she no longer had any means to protect herself.

In this situation, even if he were to abduct them, there would be no obstacles, and no one would even know.

Unexpectedly, Jian Qing'er gazed at him and smiled sweetly.

"No, I believe you wouldn't do that, senior. You're a good person."

Her smile was radiant and bright, without the slightest hesitation, and didn't seem like a pretense at all.

The second half of that sentence sounds a bit like giving someone a friend card.

Even Ye Yun was surprised and asked a question with great interest.

"You say I'm a good person? What makes you say that?"

"Hehe, that's a secret!"

Unexpectedly, Jian Qing'er actually kept this to herself.

He wasn't particularly interested in Jian Qing'er at first, but she piqued his interest later on.

But in the end, that's what they said.

This gave Ye Yun the feeling of going to bed with a beautiful fairy and even taking off her skirt.

It turned out that the other person, like himself, seemed like a real man...

"..."

Ye Yun's lips twitched slightly.

He and the other person never had any physical intimacy.

Otherwise, he would definitely teach the other party a lesson!

But on the surface, he still gave a nonchalant reply.

"Fine, if you don't want to talk about it, then forget it."

Seemingly noticing his change in mood, Jian Qing'er stuck out her tongue and said modestly.

"I'm sorry, senior, I promised my father that I wouldn't tell anyone about this."

"It's okay, everyone has secrets, it's understandable."

Ye Yun shrugged and said calmly.

Of course, I still asked Nangong Jiutian in my heart.

"Senior Nangong, what's your opinion on this matter?"

Now he's gotten used to consulting Nangong when he's unsure what to do.

Seemingly having been listening to their conversation, Nangong Jiutian replied calmly.

"It must be that this little girl possesses some special physique or talent, allowing her to see the karma of others."

"Um... what does that mean?"

"..."

Nangong Jiutian was speechless for a moment, seemingly silently criticizing his ignorance.

After a while, she slowly explained.

"From the moment we are born, every action we take adds to our karma."

"There are positive and negative aspects to this."

"Some people with special physical conditions are able to see them, or rather, they can see them."

"They are like the most essential introduction of a person, revealed in the hearts of those who can see them."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun raised an eyebrow, surprised.

"Good heavens, this is insane!"

Nangong Jiutian, however, did not take it seriously and said calmly.

"What's the big deal? I have similar abilities myself. Even if you don't have them at birth, you can cultivate and develop them later."

"I see……"

Ye Yun seemed to be deep in thought, and felt a little more at peace.

Just then, he heard Jian Qing'er calling softly in his ear.

"Senior? What's wrong?"

Clearly, he was caught talking to Nangong Jiutian while lost in thought.

Ye Yun snapped out of her reverie, shook her head slightly, and changed the subject.

"Nothing, I just thought of something."

Then, he looked at Jian Qing'er in front of him and asked.

"Speaking of which, since you come from a prestigious family, how did you end up being arrested here?"

"Didn't you bring any guards or means of self-defense with you on this training trip?"

This is actually quite unusual. Disciples with some status in major factions usually bring some people with them when they go out.

Upon hearing this question, Jian Qing'er coughed lightly, seemingly a little embarrassed.

"Well... it's because I actually snuck out this time without telling anyone in the clan."

"..."

Upon learning the truth, Ye Yun remained silent for several seconds, clearly not expecting this reason.

Finally, he took a deep breath and replied.

"Miss Qing'er, you are very brave."

There's no way around it; I'm too daring to do something so reckless.

Without any protection, they went to train in environments far from their own.

To put it nicely, this is called daring to challenge oneself!

To put it bluntly, what's the difference between this and suicide?

"Hehe, thank you for the compliment, senior!"

Jian Qing'er grinned.

Seeing this, Ye Yun shook his head helplessly.

"I wasn't praising you. Don't do such dangerous things next time."

"The mainland today is different from the past; many places may be filled with unexpected dangers."

Jian Qing'er nodded slightly in response to his lesson.

"Hmm... I understand now."

After saying that, she looked at Ye Yun and smiled.

"So this time, I really have to thank you for saving my life, senior. Your sword strike that killed the evil cultivator was so cool!"

As she spoke, Jian Qing'er looked at Ye Yun with a hint of admiration in her eyes.

It's like a little fangirl seeing her idol.

Even Ye Yun couldn't quite control himself under her gaze and praise.

"Cough cough..."

He cleared his throat to keep himself calm and spoke in a nonchalant manner.

"There's nothing to thank me for, it was just a small favor."

Ye Yun waved his hand, appearing as if he were a profound and unfathomable person.

In truth, I was incredibly happy; it felt pretty good to be admired.

Jian Qing'er's attitude towards this was resolute.

"No, I must thank you!"

She looked at Ye Yun and said in a serious tone.

"Is there anything you haven't accomplished, senior, or anything you need? Please feel free to mention it!"

"If possible, I will help my senior complete or obtain it!"

Judging from her expression, she really didn't seem to be joking.

Ye Yun raised an eyebrow. It seemed that the other party had some influence within the Jian family.

But if we're talking about what he needs, each of those things is probably extremely rare.

But seeing the other person looking at him with hopeful eyes, he hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"I see. If you really want to repay me, could you help me investigate the whereabouts of the next elixir?"

Upon hearing this, Jian Qing'er nodded and asked curiously.

"No problem, what kind of pill?"

Ye Yun smiled slightly and spoke slowly.

"It is... the Ninth Grade Dao Integration Pill."

This is also the pill that's giving him the biggest headache right now.

Upon hearing this, Jian Qing'er paused for a moment, then nodded.

"A ninth-grade elixir? That's indeed very rare."

Ye Yun smiled faintly and spoke slowly.

"That's right, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered to bring it up with you. Isn't it too difficult?"

However, Jian Qing'er shook her head solemnly.

"It's okay! I'll try my best to find it for you!"

After all, the other party only said that they were investigating the whereabouts of the pill, not that they were obtaining the pill. The difficulty was worlds apart!

Ye Yun was somewhat surprised to see that she actually agreed.

He chuckled softly.

"Alright, if you can obtain any clues, I will reward you further."

That's what he said, but he didn't have much hope in his heart.

If it works out, great; if it doesn't, he won't suffer any loss.

Such a grade nine elixir is something that can only be encountered by chance and is not something that can be found casually.

Bringing it up to the other party can be seen as satisfying their desire for a reward, thus silencing them.

Just then, Jian Qing'er thought for a moment and asked.

"By the way, senior, how should I notify you if I obtain any information?"

After all, it was just a one-time meeting, so there should be a fixed way to contact each other.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, recalling his previous instructions to Cang Lan.

"That's easy. If you get the information, go to Yuan Yi City..."

This is also the place we agreed on for communication when we spoke with Canglan last time.

There, you don't have to worry about your identity being exposed.

"Yuan Yicheng..."

Jian Qing'er pondered for a moment, then nodded heavily.

"Okay! I've got it!"

Seeing her like this, she actually seemed quite eager to try, genuinely intending to help with the search.

Seeing this, Ye Yun smiled helplessly.

"Sure, you can try looking for it."

After the matter was settled, Jian Qing'er looked at him with an expectant gaze.

"By the way... senior, could you grant me a small wish?"

Seeing the look in her eyes, Ye Yun was taken aback.

"Um... what's your wish?"

I thought to myself, it shouldn't be some strange wish, right?

Just then, Jian Qing'er pursed her lips and took a deep breath.

"Senior, I want..."

She became a little hesitant when she reached the end of her speech.

"Um?"

Ye Yun was taken aback. No, are all young girls these days so direct?

But then, Jian Qing'er said the rest of her words.

"I want to...see your sword!"

"..."

Ye Yun raised an eyebrow slightly, but also looked relieved.

That explains it; it's normal.

He paused for a moment and asked, "You want to see my sword? Why?"

At this moment, Jian Qing'er said with a hopeful expression.

"When you made your move just now, I caught a glimpse of your flying sword for a moment, and it felt so special."

"So...may I take another look?"

Previously, Ye Yun had indeed used the silver blade to kill the Jade Maiden Sect cultivator.

It seems that the special flying sword the other party mentioned refers to the Dragon Blood Silver Blade.

Anyway, it's not like there's nothing to keep secret, and the other party has already seen it once.

Ye Yun then summoned a Dragon Blood Silver Blade, which hovered in front of Jian Qing'er and spoke.

"Alright, I'll show you anyway."

As the Dragon Blood Silver Blade hovered in front of her, Jian Qing'er looked at it as if she were seeing an unparalleled beauty.

Wow! It's so beautiful!

She leaned closer, her eyes filled with amazement, and even couldn't resist gently poking it with her little hand.

Then, Jian Qing'er looked up at Ye Yun, her eyes filled with amazement.

"With its star silver and meteorite iron, combined with various rare materials and the tempering of dragon blood, this is truly a formidable flying sword!"

This was beyond Ye Yun's expectations; this little girl has a good eye.

He looked at the other person and asked with great interest.

"You can tell that?"

"Of course!"

Jian Qing'er smiled sweetly and explained.

"When I was very young, my parents took me to watch sword forging, and I have a lot of experience with it."

Ye Yun seemed to be deep in thought; clearly, the other party must hold a high position within the Jian family.

At this moment, Jian Qing'er's attention quickly returned to the Dragon Blood Silver Blade.

After a moment of contemplation, she sighed softly.

"The design of these flying swords looks like they're standard; it would be even more powerful if there were more of them."

Due to the special nature of flying swords, it is quite normal for a sword cultivator to possess many flying swords.

This is why many blacksmiths can forge flying swords with identical materials and shapes.

It's not just for aesthetics, but also for harmony, and this flying sword in front of us should be one of them.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun smiled faintly and replied.

"Indeed, I have more than just this one."

Jian Qing'er's eyes lit up, and she asked curiously.

"How many seniors are left?"

Meeting her hopeful gaze, Ye Yun hesitated for a moment, and after some consideration, slowly uttered two words.

"secret."

"..."

Jian Qing'er was stunned for a moment, then glared at him angrily.

"Senior, you're so annoying!"

Ye Yun didn't take it seriously, put away the Dragon Blood Silver Blade, and chuckled.

This was clearly punishment for keeping her in suspense earlier.

Then, Ye Yun smiled at him.

"In short, I won't pry into your affairs, and you should also refrain from prying into mine, understand?"

"Hmm... I understand."

Jian Qing'er stuck out her tongue to indicate that she understood.

To be fair, her quirky and clever personality is quite adorable.

There are still many unknowns about him...

……

Not long after, Xiao Qingrou returned.

Judging from this, it seems that the matter of the Jade Maiden Sect has been resolved.

Upon seeing Jian Qing'er beside Ye Yun, she asked a question with some confusion.

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, who is this...?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun smiled and explained.

"This little girl is called Jian Qing'er, and she comes from the Jian family of the Northern Continent Alliance."

At this moment, Jian Qing'er, being quite obedient, stepped forward and bowed to him.

"Hello, Senior Xiao!"

Xiao Qingrou was surprised to learn Jian Qing'er's identity.

Then, she frowned and asked.

"Why are the Jian family members here?"

Left with no other option, Ye Yun had to explain it to them.

After understanding the cause and effect, Xiao Qingrou nodded thoughtfully.

"I see... You're really brave."

"Hehe, thank you, senior."

I wasn't complimenting you.

Xiao Qingrou shook her head. Since the other party had come alone, there was no need to be too wary.

However, she still offered a reminder.

"In any case, you should return to the Northern Continent and go home as soon as possible."

"And next time you sneak out, try not to come to our Azure Dragon Empire."

"To prevent any unforeseen events from causing your unreasonable elders to blame my Azure Dragon Empire."

Judging from her words, the Jian family doesn't seem like a benevolent group.

But Ye Yun wasn't too surprised; a family that could become the leader of the alliance must have some domineering influence.

What's most interesting is that Jian Qing'er didn't deny this.

She nodded gently, a demure nod.

"Okay, I won't do it again next time."

This time, he almost lost his life, which taught her a harsh lesson!

After that, the topic was diverted.

Ye Yun asked Xiao Qingrou.

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Xiao, how are things going on your end?"

When this matter was mentioned, Xiao Qingrou's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"I was just about to tell Fellow Daoist Nangong about this."

She looked up at Ye Yun, took a deep breath, and said.

"Now, all the disciples and elders in the Jade Maiden Sect have been temporarily suppressed by me."

"If you have nothing else to do, could you please return to the capital first and ask His Highness to send more people over?"

"It takes a lot of time to distinguish between those in the know and those who don't in this Jade Maiden Sect, and I can't handle it all by myself."

Adhering to the principle of not letting a bad person go unpunished, nor wronging a good person.

The disciples within this sect will definitely need to be screened one by one, which will take quite a bit of time.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for Ye Yun.

"No problem, I can go back immediately."

Ye Yun smiled faintly. He had no intention of staying here any longer after completing his mission here.

Although there were so many beautiful female cultivators present, it was inconvenient to touch them, which made it rather boring.

Just then, Xiao Qingrou glanced at a red-clad female cultivator nearby, who was bound hand and foot.

"Also, I would like to trouble Fellow Daoist Nangong to bring this Jade Maiden Sect Master back ahead of time."

"Perhaps we can quickly extract some information about the Ascension Sect from her."

Upon hearing this, the Jade Maiden Sect Master's expression changed.

However, because his cultivation was sealed and his mouth was gagged, he couldn't speak even if he wanted to.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun glanced at her and said with a smile.

"No problem, I will definitely bring her back safe and sound."

After saying that, he thought of something and looked at Xiao Qingrou, asking her a question.

"But in the meantime... I guess it's okay if I do something to her?"

"..."

Xiao Qingrou was speechless for a moment, clearly realizing what he meant by "doing something".

Finally, she nodded slightly.

"That's fine, as long as they're alive and brought back intact for interrogation."

"Besides that, you can do whatever you want to her, fellow Daoist..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun's lips curled up slightly.

"Okay, don't worry about that."

Then, he glanced at the Jade Maiden Sect Master and a wicked smile appeared on his face.

It was this smile that sent a chill down the spine of the Jade Maiden Sect Leader, giving her an ominous premonition.

Why does this guy seem like the evil cultivator?
