Battle Through the Heavens, Reborn as Xiao Yan's Sister

Chapter 67 Nalan Mansion

"I'm sorry, I didn't consider that..."

After leaving the weapon-refining shop, a hint of apology appeared on Yun Yun's pretty face.

Xiao Yue shook her head, indicating that it was alright.

Although not having a suitable weapon does affect her performance, it is not enough to hinder her future training. Even without a weapon, she is still powerful!
"Why don't you come with me to the sect? I can have someone open the Sword Pavilion and let you choose any precious sword you like," Yun Yun suggested.

“No…”

Xiao Yue shook her head and refused her kindness.

She might be somewhat interested in the Azure Phoenix Sword.

Yun Yun was unaware that the other party had taken a liking to her personal sword, and without thinking much of it, she said, "Since that's the case, then I won't force you. However, if you need help, you can come to Yunlan Sect to find me anytime."

Xiao Yue nodded.

After that, the two parted ways. As the head of a sect, Yun Yun naturally had many things to deal with. Moreover, after obtaining the Purple Spirit Crystal, she still needed to go back and find someone to refine pills for her precious disciple.

"Since we're already here, let's stay here for a while..."

Xiao Yue pondered for a moment,

Immediately,

She turned and headed to the post station in the capital, intending to write a letter to send home. She had been away for almost half a year, and she was sure her mother was missing her dearly.

After arriving at the post station,
She spent some gold coins to find a relatively quiet room to sit down, spread out Xuan paper, dipped her brush in ink, and began to write a letter. Her handwriting was very smooth, revealing a cool and aloof temperament, which was very similar to her own temperament and personality.

Why is it so noisy outside?

After finishing the letter, Xiao Yue frowned slightly.
Outside the second-floor window, a group of people were gathered around a notice, discussing it animatedly.

"That was a notice posted by the Nalan family."

The maid beside him respectfully began to explain.

Listening to her words,
Xiao Yue then learned that a few years ago, Old Master Nalan had fought against a highly venomous fifth-tier magical beast, the Iron-Stained Python. Although he eventually killed it, he was unfortunately bitten by the latter, and the venom had penetrated deep into his bone marrow.

Over the years, the old man has been suppressing the poison with his powerful fighting spirit cultivation. However, as he gets older, the rebound of the poison is becoming stronger and stronger. Now the entire Nalan family is posting notices everywhere, trying to find a capable person to expel the poison.

"Branding Venomous Python..."

Xiao Yue's eyes flickered slightly.

She did encounter one when she was in the Monster Mountain Range, but it hadn't evolved to level five yet, it was only level three. After killing it, she ate it like a spicy grilled snack, and didn't feel any poison at the time.

Stepping out of the post station,

Xiao Yue went up to the notice and tore it down.

Upon seeing her action,

On that busy street, passersby were all taken aback and turned to look at her, whispering among themselves as if trying to guess her identity.

After tearing down the notice, Xiao Yue paid no attention to the astonished and uncertain gazes, as if the surrounding noise had nothing to do with her. With a calm expression, she walked through the bustling crowd and slowly headed towards the enormous mansion in her memory.

……

at this time,

The gates of the Nalan family's magnificent mansion were already crowded with a large number of people. Judging from their robes, most of them were alchemists, and the several shimmering silver ripples on their chests showed their noble status and rank as alchemists.

Since the Nalan family issued the notice, many alchemists have been eagerly coming here every day, all hoping to obtain that considerable reward.

As one of the three great families of the empire, the Nalan family is extremely powerful and wealthy. If someone can cure Old Master Nalan, the benefits will be self-evident.

The Nalan family clearly did not neglect these alchemists who came, sending an old steward and a dozen servants to greet them at the door.

Xiao Yue walked slowly through the crowd, and the people around her couldn't help but turn their heads to look at her. Her presence was like a beautiful sight, attracting everyone's attention.

Her long, silvery-white hair, reaching her waist, flowed behind her like a cascading silver river, shimmering with a cold and mysterious light. In the sunlight, it shone with a faint silver luster, as pure and flawless as moonlight shining on snow.

At this moment, Xiao Yue was wearing a silver robe with blood patterns and a pair of silver high boots that clung to her body, outlining her long, straight, and slender legs, which gave her an undeniable, unique, metallic, and icy charm.

Because of Xiao Yue's taller figure than most people, she was extremely eye-catching in the crowd, giving her a powerful aura that seemed to influence everything around her.

With her steps,

The soft sound of her boots on the ground was as melodious as heavenly music. The alchemists on both sides were affected by her aura and involuntarily made way for her, creating a wide passage.

"Still the same as always..."

Xiao Yue walked over slowly.

Looking up at the magnificent mansion gate that was both familiar and unfamiliar, she seemed to feel a little emotional.

At this time,

An elderly man who appeared to be the butler rushed forward upon seeing this at the entrance of the mansion.

"Miss, you are...?"

The old butler at the door hesitated for a moment before asking. He noticed that Xiao Yue's demeanor was extraordinary, so he chose to personally go forward to greet her.

"Uncle Fu, don't you remember me?" Xiao Yue asked with a light laugh as she looked at the old butler in front of her.

"Forehead…"

The old butler was somewhat bewildered.

He then carefully examined Xiao Yue: silver hair, red eyes, and a somewhat aloof demeanor…

"You...you are Miss Xiao Yue?!"

After a moment of contemplation, the old butler suddenly paused, looked up, and said in surprise.

Xiao Yue nodded gently and smiled, "It's me, Uncle Fu. It's been a long time."

The other person clearly has a good memory; even after more than a decade, they can still remember her.

The old butler's face lit up with surprise and delight, and he quickly bowed and said, "Miss, you don't know, ever since you left the capital, Madam has often thought of you and Madam Liu. It's wonderful to finally see you!"

"Please come in quickly, the lady will be very happy to see you!"

Xiao Yue chuckled and nodded.
immediately,

The old steward led the way, personally guiding Xiao Yue slowly into the mansion gate, before disappearing from the somewhat astonished gaze of the many alchemists at the entrance.

Nalan Mansion still retains its former grandeur and solemnity, with every brick and tile revealing a profound historical heritage.

As she walked through the winding, ancient corridors, a sense of nostalgia welled up in Xiao Yue's heart. She had come here countless times under the guidance of her grandfather, but the old man was no longer with her.

"Little Yue'er?"

At this time,

A surprised voice came from the courtyard in the distance.

Xiao Yue looked in the direction of the sound.

A beautiful woman dressed in luxurious clothes was seen hurrying towards them.

The other person's face was exquisitely beautiful, and her brows exuded a gentle temperament. Although time had left some marks on her face, it had only added to her mature charm.

This was none other than her mother's close friend, Lady Nalan.
