A wasted cultivation cultivator, whose senior sister comes to his door asking for pills at the start

"A life-saving grace? What makes you say that?"

Her delighted reaction surprised Canglan.

So she glanced at Ye Yun and asked.

"By the way, who is this young lady...?"

She had never met Jian Qing'er before, and naturally, she didn't know her identity.

At this point, Ye Yun had no choice but to act as a middleman and introduce them to each other.

"This is Jian Qing'er from the Northern Continent Alliance. Her father is the leader of the Northern Continent Alliance."

Upon hearing this identity, Cang Lan suddenly realized.

"Jian Qing'er... so it was you."

With her knowledge, she naturally knew about the little princess of the Northern Continent Alliance.

It can be said that Jian Qing'er has been the darling of the Northern Continent Alliance since birth, so it's hard not to know about her.

After saying that, she thought about what the other person had just said and couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"Wait, you just said you were thanking me for saving your life? What made you say that?"

After all, he had never even met her before, so how could he claim to have saved her life?

At this moment, Jian Qing'er quickly offered an explanation.

"You should still remember what happened with the Jade Maiden Sect last time, right?"

Cang Lan paused for a moment, then asked in surprise.

"Huh? You actually know what happened over there?"

After all, only Senior Nangong and a few people around him knew about the operation at that time.

This suggestion, coming suddenly from the other party, was somewhat surprising.

Then, Jian Qing'er explained with a smile.

"Because... I was captured by the Jade Maiden Sect back then, and I almost died."

"Fortunately, Senior Nangong appeared in time and saved me and the others."

"I heard at the time that you were the one who led the operation, so it's reasonable to say you're my savior, isn't it?"

After listening to her story, Canglan did not feel happy.

On the contrary, I felt like I was about to break out in a cold sweat.

"Miss Qing'er is actually among those captured by the Jade Maiden Sect?"

"Yes, I secretly ran away to travel in your Southern Continent, and then I accidentally got..."

It would have been better if Jian Qing'er hadn't explained.

After the explanation, Cang Lan was truly terrified.

On the one hand, they were surprised that the other party was so bold as to sneak out all by himself without any means of self-defense.

On the other hand, it was unexpected that the Jade Maiden Sect had captured such an ancestor.

Therefore, Cang Lan took a deep breath.

"I'm so sorry that such a thing actually happened; it was my fault for not managing my subordinates properly."

Jian Qing'er smiled gently at this.

"It's alright, that's between me and them, it has nothing to do with Your Highness."

That's what she said, but in her heart, Canglan was still a little worried about what had happened before.

The reason, of course, is not that I have anything to do with this matter.

This incident occurred in the Southern Continent, and the Jade Maiden Sect is a sect directly under the Empire's jurisdiction.

If Jian Qing'er had really encountered some accident at the Jade Maiden Sect back then...

The enraged leader of the Northern Alliance will likely not delve into these details, but will instead seek direct retaliation against the Empire.

As the person in charge of this matter, I will inevitably have to bear the consequences.

If it really comes to that, all my plans will probably come to nothing.

She never expected that she would have a brush with death without her knowledge, and naturally she was terrified.

Therefore, Cang Lan looked at Jian Qing'er in front of her and took a deep breath.

"No matter what, guests are always welcome."

"If Miss Qing'er ever wants to travel to the Southern Continent again, please be sure to let me know."

"At that time, I will be able to host a feast."

Of course, that's not the point. The key is to get the other party to inform you so that you can send someone to protect them.

Otherwise, if she were to encounter another life-threatening situation, she would probably suffer cardiac arrest.

"Okay... I understand."

Jian Qing'er nodded. Clearly, she was unaware of the trouble her actions might cause the other party.

After talking with Cang Lan for a while, she turned to Ye Yun and asked.

"By the way, Ye Yun, have you... heard anything about Senior Nangong lately?"

She hadn't seen him for a long time since their last meeting, and she missed him terribly.

When this matter was mentioned, Canglan turned to look at Ye Yun.

"Yes, Young Master Ye, I also need to speak with Senior Nangong. Do you know where he is lately?"

Ye Yun, who was originally watching the commotion, noticed that they were looking at him and immediately replied indifferently.

"Senior Nangong is busy right now and may not be out for a while."

After all, I've been running around every day lately, and I have too many things to do.

There's no time for that, to pretend to be Senior Nangong...

Upon hearing this, both women nodded in understanding.

Among them, Azure pondered.

"I see. Then I'll trouble you, Young Master Ye, to convey a message to him on my behalf..."

Jian Qing'er echoed.

"Me too, me too..."

Then, with Nangong present, the two women chatted with Ye Yun for quite a while.

Meanwhile, Yue Rushuang, standing to the side, watched Ye Yun and the two of them getting along so well.

She felt somewhat helpless, unsure whether to say Ye Yun was popular or simply had too many admirers.

Especially since Cang Lan and Ye Yun have a subtle relationship...

Just as she was pondering, Jian Qing'er looked at her and asked curiously.

"By the way, who is this lady...?"

Seeing this, Ye Yun smiled and explained it to him.

"She is the daughter of the Holy Lord of the Moon Wheel Holy Land, and also... my beloved wife..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was elbowed by Yue Rushuang next to him.

"Who's your wife? We're not married yet."

Yue Rushuang glared at him, then smiled and introduced herself to Jian Qing'er.

"My name is Yue Rushuang."

Upon hearing this, Jian Qing'er paused for a moment and asked.

"So what's your relationship...?"

"Relationship..."

When this matter was brought up, Yue Rushuang pondered for a moment and glanced at Ye Yun beside her.

"For now, he and I are cultivation partners."

"I see……"

Jian Qing'er suddenly realized, then looked her over and sighed.

"Sister Ru Shuang, you are so beautiful, you are like a fairy."

Yue Rushuang was quite pleased with her extremely straightforward praise.

She smiled gently and looked at Jian Qing'er.

"Thank you. Miss Qing'er is just as lovely. I'm sure she'll be stunningly beautiful when she grows up."

"Hmm...that's for sure."

Jian Qing'er smiled sweetly, showing no politeness whatsoever.

Then, she looked at Ye Yun and sighed.

"Seriously, you seem to be having a really good time, don't you?"

Ye Yun paused for a moment, then asked in confusion.

"What do you mean by that?"

Jian Qing'er snorted and pouted.

"What do you think? Not only does she have a Daoist partner as beautiful as Sister Xian'er."

"Even this Sister Ru Shuang is as beautiful as a fairy."

"Did you save the continent in your past life? How did you manage to make them all fall for you?"

Ye Yun suddenly realized, and then smiled and said.

"Do you think it's possible that it's because I'm too handsome?"

"Everyone loves her, and flowers bloom for her!"

Upon hearing this, Yue Rushuang rolled her eyes at him.

This guy's narcissistic tendencies have kicked in again.

As for Jian Qing'er, she just pursed her lips.

"That's an exaggeration, I just don't like you."

"In her heart, the only person she likes the most is Senior Nangong!"

Upon hearing this, Cang Lan's expression subtly changed.

It's unclear whether Jian Qing'er's words made her slightly jealous or feel a sense of crisis.

So much so that she couldn't help but ask a question.

"Miss Qing'er, do you like Senior Nangong? In a romantic way?"

"yes!"

Jian Qing'er nodded and said earnestly.

"One day, I'll make Senior Nangong fall in love with me!"

Seeing her resolute expression, Cang Lan felt a mix of emotions.

It's strange, but whoever liked that guy had nothing to do with her.

Although Nangong and I had practiced dual cultivation many times, it was always for the sake of desire, and we never talked about feelings.

They cannot be considered a couple practicing cultivation together.

Seeing Jian Qing'er express her feelings so directly, I still felt a little strange.

"Then I wish Miss Qing'er all the best."

Azure replied politely, but her words were somewhat insincere.

However, Jian Qing'er didn't think so. She only felt that she was being encouraged, so she smiled and said.

"Yes, I will!"

Ye Yun, watching this scene, was both amused and exasperated.

It seems that in the future, I cannot easily appear in front of this Miss Qing'er under the identity of Nangong.

Otherwise, you'll definitely get entangled with them.

What's worse is that if I knew his true identity, I felt like my peaceful life would be over.

Ye Yun immediately decided not to dwell on the topic any longer and coughed lightly.

"Speaking of which... how about we talk about serious business first?"

Although gossiping can be quite interesting, he also enjoys listening to it.

The problem is, if you were the one being gossiped about, that would be a different story.

Fortunately, the people present were indeed there for serious business.

Upon hearing his reminder, Canglan looked at the group and asked.

"By the way, have you all met that Senior Yunxiao?"

Jian Qing'er immediately nodded and smiled.

"Yes, I've seen it before."

Ye Yun responded with a nod and offered an explanation.

"Me too, I just came from that senior's study."

Upon hearing this, Cang Lan narrowed his eyes slightly and said.

"Senior Yunxiao, what did you all talk about?"

"Well, of course..."

Ye Yun didn't think much of it and immediately started to explain.

He planned to exchange information with Jian Qing'er and Cang Lan.

But Luo Meng, who was standing next to her, suddenly spoke up and reminded her.

"I mean, isn't this the wrong place to talk?"

She glanced around and asked.

"How about we find a quiet place first?"

Only after hearing her words did everyone realize what was happening.

Indeed, what they were about to discuss were likely some private matters concerning the city lord.

It's a bit too much to talk about it directly in the city lord's mansion in public.

Immediately, Canglan looked around and asked.

"It's very close to my room, why don't we talk there?"

Without hesitation, Jian Qing'er replied with a smile.

"No problem, I'm fine with anything."

She didn't seem to care too much about where the conversation took place.

She simply really enjoys this atmosphere where everyone discusses important matters together.

It feels like I've gone from being a child to an adult...

Ye Yun glanced at Yue Rushuang, who nodded.

At this point, Ye Yun said with a smile.

"Alright, then please lead the way, Your Highness."
