Chapter 17 Nalan Yanran's Grievance

Although the news of the great battle on Yunlan Mountain that day had not been fully spread, the families with a little influence in the Holy City of Gama had already heard some of the situation.

For a time, the entire Gama Holy City, and even the entire Gama Empire, were undercurrents.

Once upon a time, the Nalan family, which was in the limelight because Nalan Yanran was accepted as a disciple by Yun Yun, suddenly became deserted. It is said that old man Nalan Jie was so angry that he scolded his only son Nalan Su severely.

A few days passed in a flash.

Nalan Yanran, who went to Wutan City to break off the engagement, finally arrived at the foot of Yunlan Mountain. Her originally nervous mood suddenly calmed down when she looked at the familiar towering mountain in front of her.

The Yunlan Sect is the strongest sect in the Jia Ma Empire. Even in the northwest continent, it is a well-known force. The teacher Yun Yun is even a Dou Huang powerhouse.

However, as she walked on the stone steps of Yunlan Mountain with Ge Ye, Nalan Yanran keenly noticed that there was something wrong with the atmosphere on Yunlan Mountain. The fellow disciples around her who had once been extremely respectful and tried to please her were now avoiding her one by one.

Nalan Yanran could even hear some whispers. Many of her fellow disciples were pointing at her and whispering to each other, with a look of disgust and accusation in their eyes.

It seems that all this is related to her going to the Xiao family to break off the engagement.

The accusations and insults from all around made Nalan Yanran feel aggrieved. She didn't understand why the attitudes of her former fellow disciples towards her changed so drastically in just a few days.

Before breaking off the engagement, what Nalan Yanran heard most was the flattery and fawning of her by her fellow disciples, who also seemed to be speaking up for her and describing the injustice of her engagement.

say what:
"The Xiao family is so ignorant. They have already fallen on hard times, yet they still want to try to marry into the Nalan family."

"Junior Sister Nalan, it's not that my brothers and sisters are saying your fiancé is bad, but he's just a useless man, how can he be worthy of a beautiful girl like you?"

"Junior Sister Nalan, a fairy-like figure like you, are you really willing to marry a loser?"

"That Xiao Yan is just a toad wanting to eat swan meat. If I were your junior sister, I would have brought people to the Xiao family and canceled the marriage."

"And Mr. Nalan is really something. Why would he sacrifice your happiness?"

"Junior sister will be in charge of our Yunlan Sect in the future. If she marries such a loser, how will she face the world in the future if the news gets out?"

Words like these had been ringing in Nalan Yanran's ears, as if the engagement was her shame and her sin. If she didn't cancel it, it would bring shame to the Yunlan Sect and all the sect's disciples.

Those rumors, like invisible blades, fell on the young and energetic Nalan Yanran, tormenting her day and night.

Later, as her status in the Yunlan Sect continued to rise, Nalan Yanran became more confident. After asking her grandfather Nalan Jie to cancel the engagement but to no avail, she became furious and personally led people to the Xiao family. She followed their wishes and forcefully canceled the engagement.

But why, after achieving their goal, they blame her, as if she had committed a heinous crime?

Finally, after walking through the long stone steps, Nalan Yanran arrived in front of the Jade Square. Looking at the still broken square, she understood everything.

Xiao Yan's uncle personally attacked the Yunlan Sect and single-handedly suppressed the entire Yunlan Sect, causing it to lose all face.

The disciples of the Yunlan Sect had always been proud of their origins. In their hearts, the Yunlan Sect was a sacred and inviolable holy place. But now, the Yunlan Sect, as vast as it was, had been trampled under the feet of a single individual. This was undoubtedly a huge blow to these Yunlan Sect disciples.

However, those Yunlan Sect disciples did not dare to vent their hostility and resentment on Yang Chen, so they naturally put all of this on the so-called 'culprit' Nalan Yanran.

After thinking everything through, Nalan Yanran's eyes instantly turned red. She clenched her teeth tightly and did not say anything. She just rushed into the Yunlan Sect's main hall amidst the strange looks from all around.

As soon as she entered the hall, Nalan Yanran looked at Yun Yun who was sitting alone in the empty hall, and threw herself into Yun Yun's arms. The next moment, tears completely burst out and flowed down her cheeks.

Looking at Nalan Yanran, who looked as pitiful as a wounded little animal, Yun Yun reached out and gently patted Nalan Yanran's shoulder, softly comforting her disciple.

"It's okay, Yanran, the teacher is here."

As she spoke, Yun Yun couldn't help but sigh. She had naturally seen the changes in the sect in the past few days, but she was powerless to do anything.

Although Yun Yun is the direct disciple of the sect master Yun Shan, she is young and does not have much prestige in the sect. Before she succeeded the position of sect master, Yun Leng had been managing the Yunlan Sect on behalf of Yun Shan for many years.

In addition, Yun Yun is a quiet person who doesn't like to fight and is a weak character. After succeeding the position of sect leader, she has spent most of her time on cultivation. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to reach the realm of Douhuang at such a young age.

You know, there is a huge gap between people in the same realm. The reason why some Dou Huang can quickly break through to Dou Huang is that they are actually wholeheartedly pursuing the realm. It seems that the breakthrough is very fast, but in fact they have overdrawn their potential and have an unstable foundation. It will be extremely difficult for them to break through to Dou Zong in the future.

Some people, on the other hand, always practice cultivation step by step and are not in a hurry at all. They are able to break through purely because the fighting spirit in their bodies overflows, thus breaking through uncontrollably. For example, Yang Chen is one of these people.

Yang Chen barely broke through to Dou Wang at the age of twenty. That was because Dou Wang was the lower limit of his cultivation at the age of twenty when he did not pursue any higher realms. For some people, Dou Wang was the upper limit of their cultivation for a lifetime.

Although Yun Yun is not like Yang Chen, she also has a solid foundation. Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to fight against the monsters of the same level, even though she lacks combat experience and does not understand the opponent's situation. In the end, she underestimated the enemy and was defeated.

Yun Yun's personality resulted in her appearing to have a high status in the Yunlan Sect, and being revered by the young disciples who regarded her as a goddess. But in fact, the situation that day had already revealed that she was a completely hollowed-out sect leader with almost no real power.

Perhaps it was Yun Yun's comfort that worked, or perhaps it was that being by her teacher's side made Nalan Yanran feel like she had found support, and she immediately poured out the grievances in her heart.

"Teacher, why? Yanran doesn't understand why all this happened. They were the ones who wanted me to break off the engagement, but now they are putting all the blame on me alone."

"Hey, Yanran, don't think too much. You didn't do anything wrong. It's the teacher who's wrong."

Yun Yun didn't understand either. The master and disciple, who had not experienced the world yet, were both confused at this moment.

"At least, Young Master Yang didn't blame you, right? Moreover, he also promised that your marriage with Xiao Yan should be decided by the two of you, and no one else will interfere."

"As for the gazes of others..."

After Yun Yun was silent for a long time, her lonely and desolate eyes finally withdrew from the empty hall and she sighed softly.

"Just pretend it has nothing to do with you and me anymore!"
