"Cloud Elder Sect Master, I am naturally satisfied with this great gift. But it seems that Yun Yun Sect Master and Yan Ran are not too happy about it," Xiao Yan said with a wicked smile, feeling somewhat stirred up by Yun Shan's words.
Nalan Yanran was originally his fiancée, but she was later bewitched by that scoundrel Xu Ran.
Xu Ran's cunning is something I have experienced firsthand, and it's impossible to guard against it. So, although Nalan Yanran called off the engagement, if it weren't for Xu Ran, would she have done the same?
Although Nalan Yanran has made a grave mistake, if I can not only win back Nalan Yanran but also obtain Yun Yun, the unmatched beauty, then it's definitely a huge gain.
Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran glare at Xiao Yan and Yun Shan in anger, their finely-sculpted faces not only losing none of their original beauty in their fury but instead stirring up a certain evil in the hearts of those who look upon them. Truly two peerless beauties.
The beauty of Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran is well-known throughout the Jia Ma Empire. Even when Xiao Yan was with the Hun Clan, he rarely saw such captivating beauties.
"Of course, I can persuade them to agree. Yun'er is my disciple and will listen to me. As for Nalan Yanran, hmph, she has no say in this matter." Yun Shan's eyes flash with a cold and sinister light, and taking advantage of the moment when nobody is paying attention, he actually makes a move against Nalan Yanran.
Yun Shan wants to quickly demonstrate his position to gain Xiao Yan's favor.
Now that it has come to this, his reputation will undoubtedly be ruined beyond repair. Therefore, even more so, he does not need to worry about face any longer.
If Xiao Yan loses patience and takes action himself, then my chance to pledge loyalty will be gone.
"Shameless. Had I known you were this kind of person, I should have let Brother Xu Ran kill you back then," Nalan Yanran says through gritted teeth, full of hate.
"Xu Ran? Even if Xu Ran were here, he couldn't possibly be stronger than Lord Xiao Yan. What is Xu Ran even worth? Do you think he can defeat the Soul Hall? Xu Ran doesn't even measure up to a single hair on Lord Xiao Yan." Yun Shan flatters Xiao Yan, to Xiao Yan's great enjoyment.
He likes how the current plot is unfolding.
As an elder to both Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran, and with his intervention, I can easily obtain both Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran. Moreover, in matters of parental command and matchmaker's word, Yun Shan, as the former Sect Master, has his words regarded as sacred decrees in the sect. If Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran do not comply, it would be equivalent to betraying the sect.
"Heh. If Brother Xu Ran were here, I'd like to see if you'd dare to say such things," Nalan Yanran stamps her foot in frustration, with Dou Qi wings forming behind her. However, at such a close distance, it is extremely difficult for Nalan Yanran to escape from Yun Shan, the Dou Zong Expert.
Hearing Xu Ran's name, Yun Shan still freezes for a moment, a chill rising in his bones.
Xiao Yan using such despicable means against Xu Ran shows that Xiao Yan is not a match for Xu Ran. But as long as I hide well, what can Xu Ran do to me?
If I can't defeat him, can't I still run away?
Besides, with the immense power behind Xiao Yan, he might very well be able to protect me.
"Xu Ran? If you have the ability, call him over. If you do, won't you avoid such danger?" said Yun Shan, accelerating his speed and even using some space power.
Xiao Yan also finds it amusing. He likes this feeling of watching others suffer and make painful decisions from a god-like perspective, recalling how Xu Ran once dealt with him; perhaps Xu Ran felt the same way.
"Yun Shan, how dare you lay a hand on Yan Ran?" Seeing Yun Shan take advantage of her moment of distraction to go after Nalan Yanran, Yun Yun rushes towards Yun Shan. Her cold and icy expression and tone no longer treat Yun Shan as her respected master but as her enemy.
"Yun Yun Sect Master, better not get involved. Otherwise, I won't show mercy. Perhaps one day we are to be married, my moves are vicious, and if I were to damage that beautiful face of yours, it wouldn't be good," Xiao Yan couldn't help but swallow his saliva at the sight of Yun Yun's peerless beauty and the voluptuous figure beneath her long gown.
Yun Yun's figure was significantly superior to Nalan Yanran's, and that mature charm of a woman wasn't something Nalan Yanran could compare with.
If one day he and Nalan Yanran together…
Yun Yun was stronger than Yun Shan, and seeing her being stopped by Xiao Yan, Yun Shan heaved a sigh of relief.
Upon seeing this, Nalan Yanran's hand holding the sword trembled. If it really came down to a critical moment, she would rather die than suffer humiliation.
Just as Nalan Yanran was looking for the opportunity to grit her teeth and commit suicide, a very familiar voice suddenly echoed in her mind, and a radiant smile burst forth on her face.
She knew he would come.
And now was the time. Otherwise, how would they know that Yun Shan was such a shameless beast-hearted person with a sick man's face?
"Nalan Yanran, why are you smiling? Do you really think Xu Ran will come to save you?" Nalan Yanran was very beautiful, and even more so when she smiled, bringing a bit of sunshine to the originally desperate and furious atmosphere, but to Yun Shan, Nalan Yanran's smile seemed very creepy.
The current Nalan Yanran should be crying and in despair, could it be…
Yun Shan had a bad premonition.
"Forget it. Villains die from talking too much," the words behind Yun Shan caused Xiao Yan to feel a chill down his spine. He was more than familiar with that age-old maxim from his previous life.
However, as a villain, in order to vent and feel elated, they liked to enjoy the pleasure of humiliating others, so how could they really end it so cleanly? Therefore, even though Xiao Yan also held this saying in high regard, after entering the Yunlan Sect, he became somewhat irrational in face of the hatred from the past.
"I was planning to resolve everything quickly, I got a little carried away," Xiao Yan's expression shifted. He quickly made a move, preparing to capture Yun Yun to use her as a tool for threatening Xu Ran later on.
"Don't dawdle, just capture Nalan Yanran and then talk," Xiao Yan ordered impatiently.
Now he couldn't wait to kill Yun Shan.
If it wasn't for Yun Shan, he would've already captured both Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran by now. Yun Shan's actions, while they took him by surprise, also caused him to miss some opportunities.
He had planned to use Nalan Yanran and Yun Yun as leverage, to force Xu Ran to self-mutilate or even kneel before him.
If Xiao Yan didn't comply, he would strip Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran of their clothing, to see what Xu Ran could do to him then.
With the protection of the Void-swallowing Flame, he wasn't afraid of Xu Ran overpowering him with strength.
Even if Xu Ran was truly a peerless expert, with the Void-swallowing Flame as a shield, he could humiliate Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran as he pleased from behind. Thus, his great vengeance would be satisfied.
"You old bastard, you think you're worthy of siding with me? After I deal with Xu Ran, I'll kill you, you damned dog," Xiao Yan gritted his teeth in anger, wishing he could kill Yun Shan, the person who had delayed him, on the spot. Now, even he had a bad premonition.
