Chapter 77: Body Movement Martial Skill, Wind Treading


    Gu He looked at Xiao Yi Xian with confusion. "She came to find me, but for what reason?"


    Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian shook her head. "The Sect Leader didn''t say. However, she left a scroll for you and then departed. ording to Senior Sister Nn, the Sect Leader has left the sect again."


    Saying this, she took out a scroll from her spatial ring and handed it to Gu He.


    "She left again? Why?" Gu He took the scroll from Xiao Yi Xian''s hand, feeling puzzled. This woman had just broken through, so why was she in such a hurry to leave again?


    Seeing Gu He''s confusion, Xiao Yi Xian exined, "ording to Senior Sister Nn, the Sect Leader went out this time to find some cultivation resources to enhance her cultivation speed."


    "It is said that Xiao Yan, who divorced Senior Sister Nn, has awakened his talent and seems extremely extraordinary. This has made the Sect Leader somewhat uneasy. So, right after her breakthrough, she immediately left the sect." Xiao Yi Xian exined slowly.


    As she spoke, she felt a bitplicated in her heart.


    She understood that the Sect Leader leaving the sect was somewhat rted to her.


    If she hadn''t put so much pressure on Nn Yanran, things might not have turned out this way.


    Gu He, hearing this, was slightly stunned. He hadn''t expected that news of Xiao Yan''s recovery would spread to the Cloud Mist Sect so quickly.


    Then he sighed inwardly. Yun Yun, the Sect Leader, wasn''t doing apetent job.


    Most of the time, she wasn''t even in the sect. How could she be considered a qualified Sect Leader?


    Afterward, Gu He''s eyes showed a hint of curiosity as he opened the scroll in his hand.


    "High-level Profound Rank Martial Skill, Wind Treading!"


    ncing at the scroll, Gu He''s eyes shed.


    Surprisingly, it was a high-level Profound Rank Martial Skill.


    Gu He wasn''tcking in high-level Profound Rank Martial Skills.


    But what surprised him was that this was actually a Martial Skill for body movement.


    As is well known, among Martial Skills of the same level, body movement skills are the most precious.


    The value of a high-level Profound Rank body movement Martial Skill is almostparable to an ordinary Earth Rank Martial Skill.


    Gu He felt a slight joy in his heart.


    Now I amcking a body movement martial skill?


    Unexpectedly, Yun Yun happened to send one to me.


    Could this be her expression of gratitude?


    ...


    At this moment, on the summit of the rear mountain of Cloud Mist Sect, where clouds and mist linger, creating a fairnd-like scene.


    On a protruding ck rock at the edge of the cliff, a woman dressed in a moon-white dress was forming the seals for cultivation with both hands, practicing with closed eyes. With each inhtion and exhtion, a perfect cycle was formed. During the alternation of each cycle, a faint greenish flow of energy would emanate from the rich air around her. The flow of energy hovered around the woman, then was continuously absorbed into her body, undergoing refinement and absorption...


    After thest strand of green energy was absorbed into her body, Nn Yanran slowly opened her eyes, and a faint green light shed in her eyes. The long, ck hair hanging down her shoulders fluttered for a moment without any wind.


    "Teacher is right; the Dou Qi here in the back mountain is indeed much richer." Feeling the gains from this cultivation, Nn Yanran''s lips revealed a smile.


    "Sister Nn, Elder Nn hase to Cloud Mist Sect. He said he wants you to meet him."


    Seeing the woman exiting her cultivation state, a Cloud Mist Sect female disciple who had been waiting there spoke respectfully.


    "Father? What is he here for?"


    Upon hearing this, Nn Yanran furrowed her delicate eyebrows, shook her head in doubt, elegantly stood up, and stood on the edge of the cliff. The oing breeze tightly pressed the moon-white dress against her graceful figure, making her curves vivid and attractive.


    With azy gaze, she swept under the deep and bottomless cliff. Nn Yanran lightly brushed the moon-white dress, then turned and left the ce where Yun Yun had personally selected for her cultivation.


    ...


    In the spacious and bright hall, a middle-aged man with a slightly gloomyplexion held a teacup, ced his hand on the table, and kept tapping the tabletop impatiently.


    Nn Susu was now very annoyed because he was practically driven to Cloud Mist Sect by his father Nn Jie using a stick.


    He didn''t expect that after leading troops to be stationed in the western part of the empire for only a year, his audacious daughter dared to unterally cancel the marriage agreement that his father had personally set up.


    Within the family, everyone knew that Nn Jie was very concerned about face. Nn Yanran''s current actions undoubtedly would make others say that the Nn family, seeing the decline of the Xiao family''s influence, disdained to ally with them, breaking off the engagement.


    This kind of gossip made Nn Jie explode in anger every day at home. If it weren''t for the fact that he couldn''t move, he probably would have dragged his aging body to climb Cloud Mist Mountain.


    To be honest, Nn Susu did not fully support the marriage between the Nn family and the Xiao family. After all, back then, Xiao Yan was almost synonymous with waste. It made him very unwilling to marry his daughter, who was both beautiful and talented in cultivation, to someone who was considered a waste.


    However, that was in the past. ording to the information he received, the current Xiao Yan not only shed thebel of waste but also disyed a cultivation speed that was almost more terrifying than his peak childhood.


    The potential demonstrated by Xiao Yan at this moment was undoubtedly enough to make Nn Susu pay attention. However, Nn Yanran''s unteral actions turned the rtionship between the two families into a cold deadlock, making Nn Susu extremely embarrassed.


    "This girl, her courage is getting bigger and bigger..."


    The more he thought about it, the angrier Nn Susu became. He suddenly mmed the teacup in his hand heavily on the tabletop, sshing tea all over the table. The maid who was serving on the side was startled and hurriedly reced it with a new cup.


    "Father, since you havee to Cloud Mist Sect, why didn''t you inform Yan''er?"


    Just when Nn Susu was furious, a clear voice suddenly sounded in the hall. A figure in moon-white attire walked out from behind the curtain, and a charming smile appeared on her face as she spoke sweetly to Nn Susu.


    "Humph, do you still recognize me as your father? I thought that after bing a disciple of the Cloud Sect Leader, you would forget what the Nn family is!" Looking at his increasingly beautiful daughter, Nn Susu''s anger subsided slightly, and he snorted coldly.


    Seeing Nn Su''s displeasing expression, Nn Yanran helplessly shook her head, waved to the maid on the side, and dismissed her.


    "Father, it''s been more than a year since west met. As soon as youe, you scold Yan''er. When I go back this time, I will definitely tell mother!" After the maid left, Nn Yanran wrinkled her pretty nose, sat down beside Nn Su, and pouted.


    "Go back? Do you dare to go back?" Hearing this, Nn Su''s mouth cracked into a grin. "If you dare to go back, see if your grandfather dares to break your legs!"


    Rolling her eyes, Nn Yanran, who understood the meaning behind Nn Su''s words, naturally knew what he was implying.


    "You should know the purpose of mying here, right?"


    Drinking a mouthful of tea, Nn Su said with a dark expression.


    "It''s about my canceled engagement, right?"


    ying with a strand of her green hair, Nn Yanran said casually.


    Seeing Nn Yanran''s calm appearance, Nn Su suddenly burst intoughter. pping the table heavily with his hand, he angrily said, "The marriage was personally agreed upon by your grandfather. Who allowed you to annul it?"


    "That was my marriage. I don''t want to marry anyone ording to your wishes. I will make my own decisions about my matters! I don''t care who agreed to it; all I know is that if ording to the agreement, I am the one marrying, not grandfather!"


    Bringing up this matter, Nn Yanran''s expression turned unpleasant. As an independent-minded person, she disliked having her major life decisions dictated by others, even if that person was her elder.


    "Don''t think I don''t know. You just think that Xiao Yan, who was once considered a waste, is not worthy of you, right? But now that he has potentialparable to yours! With your status in Cloud Mist Sect, you should have received information about his strength improvement, right?" Nn Su scolded.


    Nn Yanran frowned slightly. Memories of the stubborn young man from back then shed in her mind. She pursed her lips and said, "I have indeed heard some information about him. I didn''t expect him to really shed thebel of being a waste. It''s quite surprising."


    "Surprising? Just a word of surprise is enough? Your grandfather has spoken. He wants you to find a time to go to Wu Tan City again. It would be best if you could apologize and ease the strained rtionship."


    "Apologize? Impossible!"


    Upon hearing this, Nn Yanran raised her eyebrows. Without hesitation, she directly refused, coldly humming, "Although Xiao Yan is no longer a waste, I, Nn Yanran, will never marry him! Not to mention apologizing. If you like it, then go by yourself. I won''t go to Wu Tan City again!"


    "Where do you get the right to refuse? You caused this trouble, and you must go there to settle it!" Seeing Nn Yanran''s outright refusal, Nn Su suddenly became furious.


    "I won''t go!"


    With a cold face, Nn Yanran raised her snowy white chin, and her cheeks showed a natural sense of preciousness. "Even if Xiao Yan has some abilities now, do you think I, Nn Yanran, am inferior to him in any way? Moreover, Cloud Mist Sect has countless profound cultivation techniques, not to mention the vast collection of advanced martial arts. Elder Gu He even helps me refine pills. Can a young master from a small family have these things? Speaking frankly, he probably needs more than a decade just to search for advanced martial arts!"


    Being looked down upon in such a way, Nn Yanran, who despised beingpared to the once-scorned waste, suddenly felt like a mother cat whose tail was stepped on. She least liked being told she was inferior to someone she once looked down on.


    Seeing his daughter making a fuss, Nn Su was so angry that he blew his beard and stared. He suddenly stood up, raised his palm, and was about to p Nn Yanran.


    "Nn Brother, please don''t mess around." Seeing Nn Su''s movements, a white figure swiftly rushed in and stood in front of Nn Yanran.


    "Nn Yanran, is it true that you were apanied by this scoundrel to Xiao''s housest time?" Seeing the figure in front, Nn Su''s anger surged even more, and he angrily asked.


    With an awkward smile, Ge Ye helplessly said, "This was the intention of the Sect Leader; I had no choice."


    "What is the Sect Leader doing? Allowing Yanran to do such foolish things? If Xiao Yan really defeats Yanran three yearster, will she really be a servant for him?" Although Nn Su''s anger slightly subsided at the mention of the Sect Leader, there was still a lot of resentment in his words. After all, losing a highly potential son-inw and gaining a potential formidable enemy would put anyone in a bad mood.


    "Hehe, Brother Nn, don''t be anxious. What''s done is done, and now it''s useless to say anything. Even if you make Yanran apologize, it won''t mend the rtionship between the two families. Why bother to seek trouble? As for the three-year agreement, you can rest assured. The Sect Master has recently descended from the mountain and personally prepared thest few ingredients for a medicinal form for Yanran. As long as Elder Gu He refines the pill when the timees, it will be difficult for Xiao Yan to catch up with Yanran''s cultivation progress. As long as Yanran shows some mercy during the three-year agreement, it should ease the anger in his heart." Ge Ye smiled.


    "What kind of medicinal form has such an effect?" Nn Su asked with a slight frown.


    "Hehe, that can''t be said yet. The medicinal form was obtained by the Sect Master during an expedition in the mountainsst year. It should have been left by predecessors. As for the efficacy, you''ll know when the timees..." Ge Ye said mysteriously.


    Seeing Ge Ye''s reluctance to reveal more, Nn Su waved his hand impatiently. Looking at Nn Yanran, who was still stubbornly standing behind Ge Ye, he could only shake his head helplessly and stomp his foot in frustration. "Forget it, I don''t want to deal with you. If you lose, be a maidservant warming someone else''s bed. Don''t mention that you have any rtion to the Nn family. I can''t afford to lose face like that."


    After saying that, Nn Su, full of resentment, left the hall.


    Watching his figure disappear at the end of the line of sight, Ge Ye sighed in relief. Turning around to look at Nn Yanran, who still had a stubborn expression, he sighed and said, "I really didn''t expect... that little guy from the Xiao family actually managed to climb up."


    "What does it matter... three yearster, I will definitely defeat him honorably." Nn Yanran sat in a chair, speaking with determination.


    "Yanran, do you... really have confidence in defeating him in the three-year agreement?" After hesitating for a while, Ge Ye suddenly asked.


    "Uncle Ge, howe even you think I''m not as good as that waste... him." Hearing this, Nn Yanran immediately expressed her displeasure.


    With a bitter smile and a shake of his head, Ge Ye sighed, "Always feel that that little guy is somewhat mysterious..."


    Pouting, Nn Yanran held the teacup with her jade-like hand, slightly clenching it. Her gaze was fixed on the pale green tea, and she coldly snorted in her heart, "I don''t believe you can really climb over me! If I can''t match Junior Sister Xiao, that''s eptable, but can I let a waste surpass me?"


    "Xiao Yan, I, Nn Yanran, am waiting for you at Cloud Mist Sect! If you have the ability,e as agreed!"
