The Yunlan Sect is the most powerful force in the Jiama Empire. The uninterrupted inheritance from generation to generation has allowed this ancient sect to stand at the top of the Jiama Empire.
If it weren't for the sect's canons that prohibited us from seizing the power of the emperor, I'm afraid that during the past several imperial dynasty changes, the Yunlan Sect had completely taken control of the entire Jiaji Empire.
Although it does not control the entire empire, there is no doubt that the Yunlan Sect's position in the Jiajia Empire is beyond doubt.
The Yunlan Sect was established on Yunlan Mountain, and Yunlan Mountain was only a few dozen miles away from the imperial capital. Being chosen by the Yunlan Sect as the sect's address, Yunlan Mountain was naturally a geomantic treasure.
Yunlan Mountain is not just an isolated peak, there are many mountains around it, but it is the tallest. When the surrounding mountains bow their heads to the sky, it suddenly appears like a sword, pointing straight into the blue sky.
As if challenging the sky, the top of the mountain with exposed clouds is like an island, surrounded by clusters of suspended white clouds.
On the steep mountain top shrouded in clouds and mist, a slim and pretty figure is looming in the mist.
The woman wears a tight-fitting brocade robe with gold trim and purple, and three thousand blue silk hair. She is pulled up into the shape of a phoenix. She has a hint of nobility that is difficult to conceal. Her face is quiet and beautiful, like a clear spring in the mountains, which makes people feel proud because of her identity. While he is noble and awe-inspiring, he can't help but feel a little fondness.
Tap tap tap...
While the woman was looking at the clouds and mist in front of her in deep contemplation, a burst of footsteps came from behind her.
The woman turned around and looked at the person.
A young girl came. She had a cool appearance, and her beautiful face was like that of a fairy. She is wearing a moon-white skirt and robe, and her exquisite body is curvy.
There is a green jade pendant hanging from the delicate earlobe. When it is shaken slightly, it makes a crisp jade sound, suddenly showing a touch of elegance.
Seeing that there seemed to be a trace of sadness on the girl's face, the woman asked in confusion.
"Yanran, didn't you go home yesterday? Why don't you seem happy? Did something happen to you?"
When Nalan Yanran heard her teacher's question, she couldn't help but think of her father and grandfather's instructions when she returned home, and she couldn't help but feel sad.
"Teacher, you know that I have an engagement, right?"
"Well, I heard you say it, does it have something to do with this?" Yun Yun frowned and asked with some doubts.
She knew that her apprentice was engaged, but the apprentice seemed to have always resisted the engagement and rarely mentioned it.
"The person I am engaged to be engaged to is a member of the Xiao family in Wutan City."
The Xiao family in Wutan City!
As soon as Nalan Yanran spoke her words, Yun Yun felt as if she had heard of this family before. Soon, an idea suddenly appeared in her mind, and she thought of the information that had been presented to her not long ago.
He blurted out, "The Xiao family in Wutan City, the family that Xiao Ming belongs to!"
"That's right, it's the Xiao family that is said to be a once-in-a-thousand-year monster in the Overweight Empire. Xiao Ming belongs to the Xiao family. Some time ago, news came that Xiao Ming of the Xiao family in Wutan City has returned from Canaan College. My grandfather asked me to find some time. Go over, go over... recognize me!"
Nalan Yanran's expression was a little annoyed.
Hearing this, Yun Yun knew clearly in her heart that the recognition of relatives was a fake, and the relationship between the two families was real.
According to the information from the Yunlan Sect, she had already learned that Xiao Ming of the Xiao family was a strong Dou Wang warrior and a sixth-level alchemist.
The teenage Dou Wang strongman and sixth-grade alchemist is indeed someone who needs to be won over.
Valley
In fact, Yun Yun had heard of Xiao Ming for a long time, but at that time, Xiao Ming's talent was too exaggerated, and she thought it was a rumor.
Later, when Xiao Ming ran to Canaan College, she realized that this was not a lie. By the time she wanted to accept him into the Yunlan Sect, it was already too late.
In fact, this has something to do with the fact that Xiao Ming's talent was exposed for too short a time.
After Xiao Ming's talent was exposed, he didn't stay in the Xiao family for long. In addition, most of the forces in the Jiajia Empire are based on a family model based on blood ties. Therefore, Xiao Ming had no contact with other major forces before leaving the Jiajia Empire. Pass.
Regardless of what Yun Yun thought, Nalan Yanran in front of her struggled for a while and said firmly: "Teacher, I want to break off the engagement!"
"Have you made your decision? Now all the forces in the empire don't want to be related to the Xiao family in Wutan City. The reason is that Xiao Ming is a sixth-grade alchemist, and he is still a fourteen-year-old sixth-grade. Your family will never agree. You broke off the engagement."
Nalan Yanran pressed her lips tightly and said with a stubborn face: "I had already thought about breaking off the engagement when I knew about the engagement. Not to mention that the person I was engaged to was not the famous Xiao Ming, but someone else. Even if it was someone else. Xiao Ming, I also want to cancel this engagement. I don’t want to marry a man I don’t know, and I don’t want my marriage to be used as a bargaining chip for family power.”
Yun Yun sighed, stepped forward and touched Nalan Yanran's head. Looking at her beloved disciple, she said softly: "In that case, then break off the engagement. As the young master of the Yunlan Sect, as long as you don't want to , in the Overweight Empire, nothing can force you.”
Although Xiao Ming is also the target that Yunlan Sect wants to win over now, Yun Yun still cares more about her disciple's feelings than winning over Xiao Ming.
What's more, a genius of Xiao Ming's level is not easy to win over, and her apprentice's engagement partner is not him, so just break off the engagement.
As long as enough compensation is given, nothing will happen.
However, the Xiao family now has a sixth-grade alchemist who is not a second-rate force, so the etiquette for visiting should be in place.
After thinking for a while, Yun Yun said: "Tomorrow, I will personally accompany you to Xiao's house to break off the engagement."
…
Jiaji Holy City, deep inside the Imperial City, in a secluded bamboo forest in the back mountain.
A pair of extremely hurried footsteps walked along the gravel path in the bamboo forest.
The gravel path leads directly to the top of the mountain, and the figure does not stop until it reaches the end of the road.
What appeared in front of him was a huge lake. There was a small pavilion in the center of the lake. In the middle of the pavilion, there was an old man in a linen robe, drinking tea.
As if aware of the figure's arrival, the old man in linen robe, who was playing with the gap, paused slightly with his right hand, and then spoke softly.
"Shadow Guard, what's the matter?"
The sound was not loud, but it accurately reached the ears of the figure outside.
Hearing this sudden sound, the figure did not panic, but half-knelt on the ground as usual, with his hands clasped in fists, and said respectfully.
"There is news from Wutan City that Xiao Ming of the Xiao family is already a sixth-grade alchemist. There is also a strong Dou Wang who returns to the family with him this time."
Bah!
The old man in a linen robe in the center of the lake pavilion shook the tea set he was playing with with his hands.
"Sixth-grade alchemist! There is no problem with the information, right?"
"The night Xiao Ming returned to the Xiao family, the Xiao family held a banquet for him. The head of the Xiao family publicly said that Xiao Ming was a sixth-grade alchemist. Xiao Ming was also present at the time and did not deny it."
