There was a hint of curiosity in his words, and it was obvious that he was quite interested in this matter.

These maids had just taken the elixirs given by Yun Yun. As the saying goes, one should be grateful for what one has received, and one should be soft-hearted. Now that Yun Yun had asked about it, they couldn't keep silent.

After several people looked at each other, one of the maids who looked more clever spoke up:

"Master Yun, this is indeed true. My Master Xiao Ling first held a wedding with Queen Medusa at the Snake People's Tribe that day, and then returned to the Xiao family to hold a very small wedding with only a few people in attendance. I was quite curious at the time, but the wedding was indeed held, because I had previously gone to clean up Master Xiao Ling's courtyard, so I know a thing or two about it."

When Yun Yun heard this, a puzzled look flashed across her eyes. After a brief thought, she continued, "Then do you know who the wedding was held for?"

As soon as these words fell, another maid spoke up, "Sect Master Yun, if I'm not mistaken, then it should be Miss Xiao Yixian and Miss Qinglin that he married. After all, these two girls have been with Master Xiao Ling for many years. Now that the two girls have grown up and are of marriageable age, I think Master Xiao Ling should have held a second wedding with them."

"On weekdays, we servants can often see that Master Xiao Ling cares deeply for them. Their feelings are extremely deep. This wedding is a natural thing."

A maidservant nearby listened to her companion's words, with a rather yearning look on her face, and said in a tone full of longing:

"I heard that Miss Qinglin has been serving as a maid beside Master Xiao Ling since she was eleven or twelve years old. Master Xiao Ling is so outstanding. Not only is he very powerful, he is also proficient in the art of refining medicine, and he is so gentle and kind to others. If I could also be favored by Master Xiao Ling since I was a child, and be brought up by his side, even as a concubine, then perhaps it would not be a bad idea."

As soon as these words came out, the maids beside them also showed some yearning, with longing in their eyes. Of course, in such a situation, it was inevitable that they would tease each other.

"Okay, that's all I want to ask. You can take the food away first, and go do your own things. Don't bother me."

After asking a few more questions about Xiao Ling, Yun Yun smiled and spoke to the maids.

The maids had no intention of staying here for long, and after hearing Yun Yun's words, they hurriedly responded.

They all bowed slightly to Yun Yun, performed a greeting with full courtesy and a respectful attitude, then swiftly picked up the food that had been brought in earlier and hurriedly turned around and left the reception hall.

For a moment, the hall, which had been a little lively due to their arrival, returned to its previous tranquility, leaving only Yun Yun sitting there quietly.

Not long after these maids left, a creaking sound suddenly came from the direction of the heavy door of the reception hall, and then the tightly closed door was slowly pushed open again.

Yun Yun subconsciously looked over and saw the light and shadow from outside coming in, illuminating three figures: two men and one woman.

The man standing in the middle, with an upright figure and extraordinary temperament, was Xiao Ling, whom she had specifically wanted to meet on this trip.

Seeing Xiao Ling coming, Yun Yun immediately stood up, bowed slightly to Xiao Ling gracefully, with a just the right smile on her face, and said softly and politely:

"Master Xiao Ling, I'm really sorry for coming here to disturb you. I just have some plans in my mind that I want to talk to you about. I hope you won't blame me."

Her every move and every word was graceful. Her dignified and generous demeanor made it impossible to find anything wrong with her, and she fully demonstrated the cultivation and bearing of a sect leader.

In response, Xiao Ling just chuckled, looking quite indifferent, and then said: "It's okay, I happen to be free at the moment, so it's not a bad idea to meet."

After saying that, Xiao Ling nodded lightly towards Yun Yun, a slight smile appeared on his face, and as he spoke, he walked towards the tables and chairs in the reception hall.

Yao Chen, who was standing beside him, had a meaningful smile on his face, but he didn't say much. He just followed Xiao Ling quietly and walked forward slowly.

Zi Yan first looked at Yun Yun curiously, then quickly retracted her gaze and closed the door of the guest hall again. After doing this, she naturally held Xiao Ling's hand.

After the three of them sat down opposite Yun Yun one by one, Yun Yun slowly sat down.

She raised her finger slightly, pointed in the direction of Yao Chen, with a polite smile on her face, and asked softly, "What is the name of this senior?"

In fact, Yun Yun had met Yao Chen as early as the wedding held in the Medusa Temple.

At that time, she discovered that Yao Chen looked very young, probably in his early thirties at most.

But at that wedding, Queen Medusa and Xiao Ling both toasted him respectfully. Yun Yun already knew from this situation that this person must be an elder whom Xiao Ling respected very much, and his status must be quite high.

It was for this reason that Yun Yun asked Yao Chen so politely at this moment, with respect evident in her words.

Facing Yun Yun's question, Yao Chen and Xiao Ling looked at each other first, then Yao Chen smiled gently and said in a calm tone: "Haha, just call me Yao Lao."

"Master Yao is my mentor in cultivation and medicine refining. He is my elder and someone I respect very much."

Xiao Ling nodded slightly, and after explaining this softly, he changed the subject and looked directly at Yun Yun, with a hint of curiosity and inquiry in his eyes, and then asked:

"By the way, Sect Master Yun, why did you come to look for me today? I wonder what it is you want to do?"

After hearing Xiao Ling's explanation, Yun Yun was shocked.

You know, this person called Medicine Old Man, can be Xiao Ling's mentor in both cultivation and alchemy, so it is obvious that his own cultivation must be unfathomable, and he must be an alchemist of a high level.

Yun Yun thought to herself that Xiao Ling had shown extraordinary potential since the beginning of his practice. Perhaps a large part of the reason was related to this mysterious and unknown old medicine master.

I think the identity of this old medicine man is definitely not ordinary. His cultivation must be extraordinary and profound, and his attainments in refining medicine are definitely not simple. I think he is a high-level alchemist.

Of course, as the leader of a sect, Yun Yun has strong self-control in this regard, and her expression management is quite outstanding. There is no strange expression on her face, and she still maintains that perfect smile and calm demeanor.

Seeing Xiao Ling asking so directly, she didn't want to beat around the bush and said bluntly:

"Actually, the reason I came here this time is to ask Master Xiao Ling to help me with something."

Hearing Yun Yun's words, Xiao Ling couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes instantly showed some interest. He leaned forward slightly, looked directly at Yun Yun, and asked with some curiosity:

"You want my help? So, Sect Master Yun Yun, what exactly do you want me to do for you?"

You know, with Xiao Ling's current status, he is considered a well-known figure in this huge Douqi Continent. Asking for help is naturally not something that can be agreed to casually.

Normally speaking, if you want to ask Xiao Ling for help, you must come up with some good things that can catch his eye. Otherwise, there is no possibility of getting him to agree.

Meeting Xiao Ling's curious gaze, Yun Yun pursed her lips slightly, and after a moment's thought, she said, "Master Xiao Ling, I think you won't stay long in the Northwest Continent this time, and you will return to Zhongzhou again. I have an unwelcome request, I hope you can take me with you when you return to Zhongzhou this time."

At this point, Yun Yun's eyes were full of earnestness. She took a deep breath and continued in a firm tone: "As long as you can agree, I, Yun Yun, am willing to pay any price as a reward and will never break my promise. I hope Master Xiao Ling can consider it."

After Yun Yun finished speaking, she immediately stood up again and bowed deeply in the direction of Xiao Ling.

She just bent over like that, not moving at all, as if she would never get up unless Xiao Ling agreed.

After hearing what Yun Yun said, Xiao Ling couldn't help but feel a little confused and frowned slightly, but he didn't delay any longer. He immediately used his fighting spirit to gently help Yun Yun, who was bowing and saluting, up, and said:

"Master Yun Yun, why are you doing this? Sit down and talk first. Also, since you want to go to Zhongzhou, with your current level of cultivation, it shouldn't be a difficult task after making some plans. You don't need my help, right?"

After all, Yun Yun's cultivation has now reached the Dou Zong realm. With such strength, even in Zhongzhou where there are so many masters, she will never be bullied at will.

Xiao Ling really couldn't understand why Yun Yun, with her current abilities, was so eager to ask for his help.

Chapter 575 Taking Yun Yun Away

In response to Xiao Ling's question, Yun Yun pursed her lips slightly, and a look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on her face.

Then, as if she had made up her mind, she slowly said, "Master Xiao Ling, I do want to develop in Zhongzhou, but as the leader of Yunlan Sect, it is not easy for me to get out."

Yun Yun frowned slightly, her eyes full of helplessness, and continued: "I have to take charge of many affairs of the sect, how can I bear to just leave it alone? This has already made it very difficult for me."

After hearing Yun Yun's explanation, Xiao Ling couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly. Indeed, as the leader of the Yunlan Sect, Yun Yun shouldered many responsibilities that a leader should fulfill, and was indeed somewhat constrained in this regard.

Xiao Ling thought to himself that if he and Yun Yun were in the same situation, he would definitely not restrict his steps just because of the sect.

In Xiao Ling's opinion, among all the affairs in this world, except for those concerning the people closest to him, most of the other things are not as important as self-interest.

After all, people must first live for themselves. If they are always fettered by various external responsibilities and the wishes of others, how can they pursue what they really want?

However, everyone has different thoughts and situations. Yun Yun must be in such a difficult situation because she must have many unspeakable difficulties.

After a brief pause, Yun Yun's expression became more and more conflicted, as if there were a thousand unspeakable secrets in what she was going to say next.

Before Xiao Ling could say anything, she continued, "However, this is only a secondary reason."

At this point, Yun Yun's face became more embarrassed. She bit her lip and hesitated for a moment before continuing:

"The most important thing is my master's intention. My master wants me to stay in Yunlan Sect and hopes that I can marry Gu He, the guest elder of our Yunlan Sect. He wants to use this method to completely bind Gu He to Yunlan Sect. I... I am really in a dilemma now and don't know what to do..."

As she said this, Yun Yun's brows were tightly furrowed, her eyes filled with a complex expression of distress and helplessness, and her hands were subconsciously tugging at the corners of her clothes. Her embarrassment seemed particularly real, and one could see at a glance the entanglement and struggle in her heart at the moment.

When Yun Yun finished speaking, not only did Xiao Ling's expression pause slightly, but even Yao Chen and Zi Yan, who originally did not care much about what Yun Yun said, immediately stopped what they were doing and cast their slightly surprised eyes in the direction of Yun Yun.

Xiao Ling was also a little surprised at this time. After all, this was the first time he heard such news.

As the leader of the Yunlan Sect and a Dou Zong expert, Yun Yun is a well-known figure in the Jia Ma Empire and even the entire Northwest Continent.

But now, because of the sect, she was forced to commit herself to a person she did not like. No matter who it happened to, it was not a glorious thing.

And Yun Yun could actually say such a thing without reservation, which obviously showed that she had completely let it go in her heart.

However, after Xiao Ling thought about it for a while, he suddenly understood a lot. After all, the current situation in the Jia Ma Empire was turbulent, and it had a completely different development trend from the past.

In the original timeline, Yun Yun had already been asked by Yun Shan to marry Gu He. But now, with Dou Zong masters appearing one after another in the Jia Ma Empire, the situation of the Yun Lan Sect is no longer as powerful as before in the empire, so naturally it is even more necessary to win over Gu He.

Although in Xiao Ling's eyes, Gu He was not even qualified to carry his shoes, but considering Gu He's identity as a sixth-rank alchemist, he was considered to have profound attainments in alchemy in the Jia Ma Empire.

If the Yunlan Sect can get Gu He's full support, it will definitely have more say in the Jia Ma Empire, which will undoubtedly be of great help to the development of the sect.

That's why Yunshan is so eager to promote the marriage between Yunyun and Gu He. This also shows the pressure Yunyun is facing.

"From what I see, asking me to take you to Zhongzhou is probably not your main purpose, right? The main reason you came to me this time and wanted me to take you to Zhongzhou is probably to use my fame to get rid of the constraints imposed on you by your master. Am I right?"

Under Yun Yun's anxious gaze, Xiao Ling took a sip of tea and spoke in a leisurely tone.

His voice was exceptionally calm, so calm that no emotion could be heard, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking. This made Yun Yun even more nervous.

Yun Yun's thoughts were exposed by Xiao Ling's words, and the calm expression she had been maintaining on her face suddenly became unsustainable.

She bit her lip, her expression full of embarrassment and awkwardness, and her eyes dodged a few times.

But soon, she mustered up the courage to look at Xiao Ling, and said in an increasingly polite and sincere tone: "Master Xiao Ling, you really saw through my thoughts at a glance."

"However, I really have no other choice now, so I shamelessly come to ask for your help again. As long as you can lend a hand to me this time, I, Yun Yun, will do my best to repay your kindness. Don't worry, I, Yun Yun, always keep my promises and never lie."

As she spoke, Yun Yun unconsciously clasped her hands together, her fingers turning slightly white from the force.

She leaned forward slightly, and anyone who saw her anxious and earnest look could feel her inner desire and helplessness at the moment, as if Xiao Ling's response determined her future fate.

Faced with Yun Yun's request again, Xiao Ling didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Although this matter was not too troublesome for him and he could help by just taking action, it was of no benefit to him after all.

Xiao Ling is not the type of person who likes to meddle in other people's affairs. Normally, he would not easily interfere unless it concerns people close to him or something he could gain from it.

Unable to make up his mind, Xiao Ling subconsciously cast his gaze towards Yao Chen, who was standing beside him leisurely and seemed to be watching the fun.

Yao Chen noticed Xiao Ling's gaze and instantly understood what he was thinking, knowing that Xiao Ling wanted to hear his opinion.

Yao Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, and then used his soul power to quietly transmit a message. The words he transmitted were casual and open-minded:

"Look at this girl Yun Yun, she has begged you so earnestly, and it is not a difficult matter for you to take her with you. She was able to cultivate to the Dou Zong realm in this Northwest Continent, so her talent and ability should not be underestimated."

"Besides, didn't Hai Bodong ask you to take the girl named Ya Fei from his family to Zhongzhou? Now that Yun Yun has this idea, why don't you do them a favor and take them both with you?"

"We have to take people with us anyway. Taking one is fine, taking two is just a matter of convenience. We can just let them travel together this time."

After hearing this, Xiao Ling nodded involuntarily, obviously feeling that what Yao Lao said did make some sense.

Speaking of taking Yafei to Zhongzhou, it was something Haibodong mentioned casually when he and Xiao Ling were reminiscing about the past. Haibodong didn't have high expectations at the time, he just said it with the idea of ​​giving it a try.

As for Xiao Ling, considering that Ya Fei, Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin got along well with each other in the past, and that Ya Fei had good management skills, if she was brought along, she might be able to help with many matters in the future, so he agreed to the task.
