Although she hadn't known Xiao Jian for long, she trusted his words quite a bit. In her opinion, if Xiao Jian was trained by a seventh-grade alchemist whom the Jia Ma Empire could hardly find, then it felt very real.
"Yes, but after being injured, it seems my teacher hasn't refined any seventh-grade pills anymore."
Xiao Jian nodded, looking regretful.
"That's a real pity."
Hearing this, Yun Yun nodded, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes.
She had originally wanted to ask if Xiao Jian could introduce her so she could try to obtain a Breakthrough Pill for her teacher, Yun Shan, to help him successfully advance to the Dou Zong level.
However, she quickly frowned and said, "I remember your teacher already possesses a Strange Flame, right? Why is he still trying to steal Queen Medusa's Strange Flame?"
"Because he has a disciple, my younger brother, who has the talent to become an alchemist. And you should understand the importance of Strange Flames to alchemists, Sister Yun,"
Xiao Jian explained with a smile.
"Sigh, well, it seems Gu He is really unlucky this time. He didn't get the Strange Flame and even gave away a lot of pills because of asking for help,"
Yun Yun sighed with some sympathy.
"These things are all about fate, aren't they? Perhaps Gu He and the Strange Fire aren't destined for each other. Just like me, I never even thought about finding a Strange Fire, but I ended up acquiring one that suits me quite well."
Xiao Jian shrugged indifferently upon hearing this, then flipped his hand, summoning the Yin-Yang Twin Flames.
Looking at the black and white flames rising in Xiao Jian's hand, Yun Yun's expression was complex.
It's truly infuriating to compare oneself to others; what Gu He had dreamed of had appeared in the hands of this young man before her.
Perhaps Xiao Jian was right; some things are destined to require fate.
Speaking of which, her encounter with him was also a kind of fate!
Thinking about this, Yun Yun's mind drifted back to the days they spent together in the Monster Mountain Range.
Those days were quite nice!
However, she was the sect leader of the Yunlan Sect, carrying the weight of the entire sect on her shoulders, while Xiao Jian bore the mission of reviving his family. Those days were ultimately fleeting.
Unless they can complete their respective tasks, perhaps then they can live a carefree life.
Thinking of this, Yun Yun began to consider Nalan Yanran.
Perhaps, once Yanran becomes a Dou Wang (Battle King), she could pass on the position of sect leader to her, then focus on her own cultivation. If possible, she could even go on adventures with Xiao Jian, sharing life and death, supporting each other—a good option indeed!
As her thoughts wandered, a strange smile curved Yun Yun's lips, almost causing her to burst out laughing.
Far away at the Yunlan Sect, Nalan Yanran was cultivating when she inexplicably sneezed.
She opened her eyes with a puzzled look. Having cultivated Dou Qi for so many years, with her physical constitution, it was unlikely she would catch a cold. Why was she suddenly sneezing?
Could it be that her teacher was nagging her?
That must be it. Her teacher was probably nagging her again about whether she had cultivated diligently enough. It seemed she needed to work harder and not disappoint her teacher's expectations!
"Sister Yun, what are you thinking about? Why are you suddenly smiling so strangely?"
Xiao Jian waved his hand in front of Yun Yun's face, puzzled, when he saw her suddenly smile so strangely.
"Oh, nothing, I just remembered something happy."
Yun Yun snapped out of her reverie and quickly composed herself, smiling elegantly.
Then, her eyes swept over Xiao Jian's white dress, a mischievous glint in them, and she couldn't resist pinching his handsome cheek.
"I didn't expect the clothes I prepared for you to fit you so well."
Looking at Xiao Jian, who could be mistaken for a real woman with just a little makeup, Yun Yun said with a smile.
"Uh, I almost forgot, I should change these clothes!"
Xiao Jian snapped out of his reverie and was about to unbutton his clothes when Yun Yun grabbed his wrist.
"Wait, wait until I leave. This is the first time I've seen a man wear women's clothes so naturally. Let me admire him!"
