The Misty Cloud Faction was one of the top powers in the Jia Ma Empire. Its headquarters was built on a majestic mountain, located just a little over five kilometers away from the capital of the Jia Ma Empire. The mountain, due to the name of the faction, was known as the Misty Cloud Mountain.
Misty Cloud Mountain was the most rugged place. Its three sides were cliffs and there was only one path to the top of the Mountain: a dangerous place that was easy to defend, but hard to surround. Moreover, the disciples of the faction patrolled the mountain tightly, making the entire mountain a small fortress.
The Jia Ma Empire installed a garrison manned by 50,000 horsemen, located just one kilometer from the foot of Misty Cloud Mountain in the name of defending the capital. However, everyone could see that this was the imperial leader's move to guard from the ferocious tiger close to the capital.
The mountain peak behind the Misty Cloud Mountain was covered by clouds and fog, looking like heaven.
On a black rock protruding from the edge of a mountain cliff, a young woman dressed in white meditated: she practiced with her eyes closed, breathing in and out in a perfect cycle. Between each cycle, the thick energy in the surrounding air will release pale green air vapors, which will rotate around the female body before being continuously absorbed into the body, undergoing refinement, storage …
After the last stream of green air flow was absorbed into the woman's body, she slowly opened her eyes with a green bow flashing over it. His shoulder-length black hair was lifted by the wind and floated in the air.
"Senior Nalan, master Nalan Su has arrived at the Misty Cloud Faction. He said he wanted to see you. " Seeing that the young lady had finally abandoned her training mode, a female servant, who had waited for a long time, hurriedly, but respectfully asked.
"Dad? Why is he here? "
Upon hearing the maid, the woman, as she rose up gracefully, furrowed her brows and shook her head suspiciously. As she stood on the edge of the cliff, the wind blew past, pressing her clothes on her beautiful and beautiful form: displaying them in the form of a goddess.
After lazily sweeping his gaze towards the seemingly bottomless space below the cliff, the woman's hand gently rubbed on her moon-white dress before she turned around and left the training ground that was specially reserved for her.
Nearby, in the spacious and bright large hall, a somewhat gloomy-looking middle-aged man was sipping his teacup. His other hand was steadily tapping on the surface of the table with a feeling of annoyance.
Nalan Su was extremely agitated and agitated after his father, Nalan Jie, almost used a pole to beat him up to the Misty Cloud Faction.
She did not expect that the year in which she led the troops to the garrison on the western side of the empire, her brave daughter would dare to personally end the engagement her father had arranged.
There was no one in the Nalan clan who did not know that Nalan Jie was so worried about his reputation. Nalan Yanran's actions would undoubtedly cause others to say that the Nalan family had no honor. Moreover, because he refused to be united through marriage in the Xiao Clan in Xiao Yan's weakness.
This kind of gossip had caused Nalan Jie to become a daily rage at home. Wasn't it due to the fact that he was paralyzed, he would drag his dying body and climb Misty Cloud Mountain himself.
To be honest, regarding the marriage between the Nalan Clan and the Xiao Clan, Nalan Su was also not very supportive. After all, Xiao Yan back then was almost like a ‘Cripple’ label spokesperson. Making him allow his daughter, with her incredible beauty and talent, to marry a useless person was something he did not want to do.
But the past has passed. According to the latest news, the boy from the Xiao Clan had not only gotten rid of the ‘Cacat’ label, but had also displayed a training speed that was even scarier than when he was young.
The potential that Xiao Yan was currently showing was something that could attract the attention of Nalan Su. However, Nalan Yanran's independent actions had resulted in an extremely cold relationship between the two clans and caused great embarrassment for Nalan Su.
If such a relationship were to be extended, it might result in him not only losing a son-in-law with incredible potential but might also result in the latter's hatred towards the Nalan Clan.
Just the thought of having someone potentially become a Dou Huang who looked at the Nalan Clan with hostility was something that scared and angered Nalan Su.
"This woman. His rebellion grew stronger … "
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. The teacup in Nalan Su's hand suddenly landed hard on the table, splashing the tea over it. Beside him, the female servant waiting for him got a surprise. He quickly but carefully changed his cup.
"You should have told Yan-er before coming to the Misty Cloud Faction." TL: Yan er – refers to itself
Just when Nalan Su was furious, a clear female voice suddenly sounded from the large hall. A white figure of the moon walked out from under the curtains as she spoke sweetly with a smile.
"Hmphs. Do you still see me as your father? I think after becoming Yun Yun disciples, you have forgotten all about the Nalan Clan! " Looking at her daughter's growing charm, Nalan Su's anger eased a little as she barked coldly.
Observing the horrifying expression on Nalan Su's face, Nalan Yanran nodded helplessly. He waved his hand at the female servant beside his father, telling him to leave.
"Dad, you haven't seen me for over a year and you started lecturing me when we met. Next time I go home, I will definitely tell Mom about this! " After waiting for the female servant to leave, Nalan Yanran immediately lifted her nose and sat down beside Nalan Su while humming like a spoiled child.
"Back home? Do you dare to go home? " Hearing his words, the corner of Nalan Su's mouth broke, "If you dare to go home, we'll see if your grandfather will break your leg or not."
Poking his lips together, Nalan Yanran, who was well aware of the situation, clearly understood the meaning of Nalan Su's words.
"You should be aware of my motives for being here, right?" After ferociously drinking a mouthful of tea, Nalan Su said with an ice-cold expression.
Seeing Nalan Yanran's calm demeanor, Nalan Su instantly became furious. His palm hit the table hard as he scolded, "Marriage is something your grandfather personally promised you back then. Who told you to cancel it? "
"That's my wedding. I don't want to follow your wishes and marry whomever you choose. I will make my own decisions in all my businesses. Regardless of who promised, all I know is if I follow the agreement, the one who will marry is me, not Grandpa! " Looking over this matter has caused Nalan Yanran's face to show displeasure. As an independent person, he hates when he has to follow the direction of others with respect to the important things in his life, even if the person is older.
"Don't you think that I'm stupid. This is nothing more than you feeling that a useless person like Xiao Yan back then was not good enough for you. But his current potential is no longer lower than yours. With your position in the Misty Cloud Clan, you should have received news of the increase in his strength. " Nalan Su said furiously.
Nalan Yanran stopped his brows. In his mind, he recalled the stubborn young man back then. Pausing his red lips, he said indifferently, "I did hear news of him. I didn't expect that he could really get rid of the nickname ‘Cripple’. It surprised me. "
"Shocked? One word ‘surprised’ and all right? Your grandfather has spoken, ordering you to take the time to go to Wu Tan City. It would be better if we apologize and smooth the rigid relationship. " Nalan Su furrowed his brows and said.
"I'm sorry? It can't be!"
Hearing this, Nalan Yanran's eyebrows suddenly shot up. Refusing without the slightest hesitation, he coldly said, "Although Xiao Yan is no longer useless, I, Nalan Yanran, will still not marry him! Not even mentioning will apologize. If you like, you can go by yourself. After all, I will not make it to Wu Tan City anymore. "
"You have no room to say no. This mess is caused by you, so you should go and clean it up for me! " Seeing that Nalan Yanran had actually rejected him, Nalan Su suddenly became furious.
I'm not leaving!
With a cold face, Nalan Yanran raised his snow-white chin; his face carried a fragility from the moment he was born. "Isn't Xiao Yan very capable? Since he dared to agree to the three-year challenge back then, I, Nalan Yanran, will wait for him to challenge me here in the Misty Cloud Faction. If I lose to him, I will be his servant and he can do what he likes. Hmph. If not, there's no way I'll apologize. "
"Fuck, if you lose at the end of the three-year covenant and become a slave, won't you humiliate the Nalan Clan?" Nalan Su angrily scolded.
"Who said I would lose to him? Even if Xiao Yan had regained his talent, do you think I would lose to him? Not only did the Misty Cloud Faction possess many high-level Qi Methods, they also possessed more high-level Dou Techniques. Besides, I even had Pill King Gu He Ye-ye help me make medicine. All of these things were beyond his reach as a young master of a small clan. Frankly, just finding a Dou Technique or a high-level Qi Method might take decades! " After being looked down upon by Na La Su, Nalan Yanran was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. What she hated the most was that others said that she could not compare to a disabled person whom she took for granted. TL: You-you – The elder is male and close to the one who called you-you
Seeing his daughter making a ruckus in front of him, Nalan Su was furious. He suddenly stood up and raised his hand, preparing to slap Nalan Yanran.
"Brother Nalan, please don't be reckless." Observing Nalan Su's actions, a white figure hurriedly swept through the hall and stood in self-defense in front of Nalan Yanran.
"Ge Ye, you bastard. I was told that you were the one who accompanied him the last time he went to the Xiao Clan. " Looking at the person blocking him, Nalan Su became even more furious as he scolded furiously.
With an embarrassed smile, Ge Ya bitterly said, "This is the faction leader's decision. Even I can't do anything. "
"What is Yun Yun doing? He actually let Yanran do these stupid things? If he lost to Xiao Yan after three years, wouldn't he have to become someone's slave? " Hear the two words ‘ faction leader’, Nalan Su calmed down a little. However, his voice was still filled with anger. After all, anyone who, in the blink of an eye, lost a son-in-law with great potential and made enemies of the same person would not feel good.
"Ke Ke, Brother Nalan, you don't have to worry. This matter is already finished so what's the point of debating it? And even if you make Yanran apologize, it is still difficult to mend the relationship between the two clans, so why would you want to go and be insulted? As for the three-year promise, you need not worry. The faction leader had personally left the mountain to prepare the final medicinal herb. After Elder Gu He fixed it, Xiao Yan would definitely not be able to catch up to Yanran in terms of training speed. As long as Yanran was merciful in the battle for the three-year promise, his anger would dissipate. " Said Ge Ya with a smile.
"What types of drugs have this effect?" Nalan Su asked with a frown.
"Ka. Here, I can't say it. The recipe was something that Elder Gu He had accidentally discovered from within the mountains during his training last year. It should be something left behind by people from the past. As for the medicinal effects, you will know when the time comes "Ge Ya quietly said.
Seeing that Ge La was unwilling to speak more, Nalan Su could only wave his hand helplessly. He glanced at the stubborn face of Nalan Yanran who was hiding behind Ge Ya and helplessly stomped his feet. He resentfully said, "Forget it, I can't be bothered by you. If you are defeated and become a slave, you better not tell anyone that you are from the Nalan Clan. I can't lose that much face. " After finishing his sentence, he angrily walked out of the hall.
Observing the figure that disappeared from his sight, Ge Ya finally heaved a sigh of relief. Turning around, he saw a similar helpless look at Nalan Yanran and once again sighed as he said, "I really did not expect … That little boy from the Xiao Clan actually woke up."
"So what ..." Nalan Ya Ran, who was sitting on the chair, said no matter.
"Yanran, you .. Are you sure that you can defeat him at the promised battle of three years?" After hesitating for a while, Ge Ya asked.
"Uncle Ge Ye, why do even you think I can't compare to that Cri .. she." Hearing his words, Nalan Ya Ran instantly became sour as he said.
Shaking his head and laughing bitterly. Ge Ya sighed, "I continue to feel that there is something strange about the man …"
Clenching his lips, the hand Nalan Yanran used to lift his teacup clenched. His eyes looked at the pale green tea as he said coldly in his heart, "I can't believe you can really climb my head. There's another year and a half left. Let's see how high you can climb from a star Dou Zhe. "
"I, Nalan Ya Ran, will be waiting for you in the Misty Cloud Faction! Come to the promised challenge if you have the strength. "
