Chapter 194: Yun Shan and His Disciple

Just as Xiao Zhan and the other two were conversing, Yun Shan also found Yun Yun, who was currently looking after Nalan Yanran.

"Teacher!" Seeing Yun Shan appear before her, Yun Yun immediately stood up and bowed respectfully to him.

"Hmm!" After checking on Nalan Yanran's condition, Yun Shan said, "Rest assured, this girl Yanran is in no serious danger."

"Many thanks, Teacher!"

Yun Yun immediately breathed a sigh of relief; if anything had truly happened to her disciple, Yun Yun might have lived the rest of her life in self-reproach.

"Is there something you needed, Teacher, by coming here this time?" Yun Yun asked.

"Yun'er..." Yun Shan glanced at Yun Yun and said earnestly, "You should be acquainted with that little fellow named Xiao Yan, right?"

Yun Yun's heart tightened, and she explained, "Ah? Isn't he Yanran's fiancé?"

At this moment, Yun Yun felt exceptionally nervous, worried that her relationship with Xiao Yan had been discovered by Yun Shan.

"Yun'er, do you know?" A sense of pressure emanated from Yun Shan, "From the time you were small until now, every time you tell a lie, you subconsciously clench your left hand."

Yun Shan's gaze flicked slightly toward the jade hand Yun Yun had hidden behind her back.

"So, are you still unwilling to tell the truth?"

"Teacher!" Yun Yun also knew her affairs could no longer be hidden; she could only lower her head, silent and mute.

"You like that brat?" Yun Shan continued to probe his disciple's thoughts.

"I..." After hearing Yun Shan's words, Yun Yun's face flushed red. She wanted to deny it, but she thought of those romantic experiences, the unforgettable time in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, and the encounters in the Tagor Desert...

In the end, she stammered and could not say a word.

Yun Shan sighed inwardly: *Oh no, it's over, she can't escape! The cabbage is gone! *

Yun Yun still wanted to struggle a bit, but Yun Shan waved his hand, "No need to say more, I already understand your feelings."

"I will not stand in the way of your feelings. Everything is up to you." Just as Yun Yun thought Yun Shan was going to strongly object, the words the latter spoke left her stunned.

"Teacher..." Yun Yun said hesitantly, "You don't object?"

This did not fit her teacher's usual style! How could Yun Yun know that a certain wealthy and influential elder of the Xiao Clan had already handled Yun Shan.

"Why, why would I object?" Yun Shan looked at his foolish disciple with amusement.

"That brat is not bad, he is worthy of you, and since you, this girl, like him, it's not as if I'm forcing you to never marry."

"No, no, no!" Yun Yun continued to shake her head, "That bad guy is Yanran's fiancé, how can I, as her teacher, do such a thing?"

Now that she was relaxed, she even changed the way she referred to that Xiao fellow.

"Fiancé?" Yun Shan squinted at Yun Yun.

"Wasn't it you who supported Yanran in going to call off this engagement back then? The Three Year Agreement has ended, and that Xiao Yan no longer has any relation to Yanran."

"Uh..."

Yun Yun felt her face burning as if it were on fire; these words made it sound as if she had intentionally sabotaged the marriage between her own disciple and Xiao Yan.

Could this be a case of the disciple not marrying, so the master marries instead?

"No." Yun Yun felt she was about to be unable to resist agreeing, so she finally found a reason to refuse.

"I am the Sect Master of the Yunlan Sect; if I were to just marry someone, what would happen to the Yunlan Sect!"

Yes! That's it! Yun Yun, you must resist the temptation!

"The Yunlan Sect?" Yun Shan seemed to suddenly remember something, "Right, there is also the matter of our Yunlan Sect."

"Yun'er, I am telling you, our Yunlan Sect will be disbanded in a while." Yun Shan's words left Yun Yun instantly dazed.

She grabbed Yun Shan's robe in a panic, "Teacher, what happened to the Yunlan Sect? Why must it be disbanded?"

Yun Yun had grown up in the Yunlan Sect since she was a child; the sect could be said to be her only home. If the Yunlan Sect were disbanded, wouldn't she become a rootless duckweed?

Suddenly learning the news that the Yunlan Sect was to be disbanded, she was completely unable to accept it for a moment.

Moreover, the Yunlan Sect had been flourishing all these years; how could it possibly reach the point of disbandment?

Could it be that the Imperial Family and other clans were about to make a move? Although Yun Yun did not concern herself with sect affairs, she was not entirely ignorant of the Yunlan Sect's situation.

It could be said that the Yunlan Sect had long been a thorn in the side of the Gama Imperial Family; it would not be strange for multiple parties to join forces against it.

What puzzled Yun Yun, however, was that her teacher was already a Dou Zun; where would the Jia Ma Empire find the courage to take action against the Yunlan Sect?

"You misunderstood!" Seeing Yun Yun's flustered and panicked appearance, how could Yun Shan not understand that his disciple was overthinking again.

"The disbandment of the Yunlan Sect is only temporary!"

"Temporary?" Yun Yun asked in confusion, what did this mean?

"I am tired and want to walk around and see the continent, is that not allowed?" Yun Shan rolled his eyes at Yun Yun and said somewhat indignantly.

"But, Teacher, even without you, the sect can still operate; it wouldn't reach the point of disbandment!"

Yun Yun's words were blunt, causing Yun Shan to feel quite hurt inside.

*The meaning of your words is as if I, this old man, am just a freeloader in the Yunlan Sect. It was a waste of my effort to painstakingly arrange a way out for you, this girl. *

Yun Shan said huffily, "I am preparing to send you and Yanran to a sect in the Central Plains to study for a period of time."

"The Supreme Elder is gone, the Sect Master and Young Sect Master are leaving; tell me, how can the Yunlan Sect still operate? Don't tell me you're relying on Yun Leng, who was just recalled a while ago."

Yun Leng was, to some extent, an Elder at the Dou Wang realm and could not be discarded. But if he wanted him to regain power, Yun Shan was absolutely unwilling.

The last time they did that, the Yunlan Sect was nearly ruined.

Yun Yun also thought of Yun Shan's concerns, but she quickly frowned and said:

"Teacher, why would you suddenly want to send me and Yanran to the Central Plains?"

"Can't I let you two master and disciple broaden your horizons?" Yun Shan's voice was somewhat weary at this moment.

"I spent my life holed up in the Jia Ma Empire; if not for a stroke of luck, perhaps even breaking through to the Dou Zong realm would have been a lifelong impossibility."

At this, Yun Yun immediately became solicitous, "But Teacher is already a Dou Zun now, isn't he?"

"A Dou Zun?" Yun Shan gave a bitter laugh, "That is an achievement I only reached after obtaining the final inheritance of the Shengsi Men."

"Otherwise, with my talent, I would be no better off than those two fellows, Jia Xingtian and Hai Bodong."

"Shengsi Men?" Yun Yun asked: "Teacher, isn't the final inheritance of the Shengsi Men only able to allow a Disciple to break through to the peak of Dou Wang?"

The reason she was able to become the youngest Dou Huang in the Jia Ma Empire was precisely because she borrowed the power of the Shengsi Men to reach the peak of Dou Wang in one go, and only after that did she spend a few years breaking through to Dou Huang.

"That inheritance can only be opened by a Dou Zong powerhouse, and it must be a High-level Dou Zong. If it were not for this, I would not have been able to break through in these last few years."

"Let's not talk about this anymore." Yun Shan interrupted what Yun Yun was about to say,

"I do not know why the Shengsi Men left behind by our founder nearly a thousand years ago still possesses such miraculous effects, but..."

"The Shengsi Men secret realm will always remain here; when you encounter obstacles while advancing to Dou Zun, you can try to borrow the power of the Shengsi Men to break through."

"The purpose of me saying this is to let you take advantage of your youth to properly see the center of the continent where powerhouses are as numerous as clouds, so as to avoid leaving behind regrets like I have."

"Do you understand?"

"Yes!" Since Yun Shan had spoken to this extent, what else could Yun Yun do? Plus, she was also very curious about the scenery there, so she had no resistance.

"Now you need to make a choice, which sect in the Central Plains you will join," Yun Shan said.

"Any one will do?" Yun Yun asked.

"Correct, any one will do."

Although this was different from what he and Xiao Han had discussed, Yun Shan did not think joining other sects would be very difficult.

Sure enough, Yun Yun made a choice based on the impressions of the sects in the Central Plains in her mind.

"This Disciple wishes to join the Flower Sect!"

"Are you sure?"

"This Disciple is certain!" Yun Yun said firmly.

"Prepare well, in half a year someone will recommend you to the Flower Sect." Yun Shan patted Yun Yun's head and said kindly.

"Now settle all your affairs, and go see whoever you want to see!" Yun Shan said with a pointed tone.

"Take this opportunity to say clearly what needs to be said."

"Once you reach the Central Plains, it will likely be very difficult to meet again!"

"Teacher!" Hearing the teasing intent in Yun Shan's words, Yun Yun said with some embarrassment and annoyance.

However, she still followed her own heart to go see the person who had left a mark in her heart.
