"Miss, this...I'm afraid it's not appropriate."

"No... What's wrong with it? Little Miao went to Yunlan Sect to study, and we don't know how long it will take for him to return. I'm just thinking about his safety. Yes, that's right."

"Young Master Xiao Miao's destination, Yunlan Sect, also has a Dou Huang in charge. The Sect Master Yun who came today is also a Dou Huang expert. It's only because his subordinates' cultivation techniques are hidden that they haven't been discovered. If he goes to Yunlan Sect, he might be discovered, which would have an impact on Young Master Xiao Miao."

As Xiao Xun'er listened to Ling Ying's analysis, her expression immediately changed when she heard that it might affect Xiao Miao.

"That won't do, but I'm so worried about what will happen to my little brother, Xiaomiao?"

"I think Miss need not worry. Young Master Xiao Miao is just going to Yunlan Sect to study. After the Xiao family's coming-of-age ceremony in two or three years, Young Master Xiao Miao will definitely return. I believe that at that time, Young Master Xiao Miao will miss Miss very much."

To calm Xiao Xun'er down, Ling Ying had no choice but to speak up. Even though he didn't believe that the aloof Xiao Miao would miss his young lady, he could only try to keep her in check to avoid disrupting the ancient clan's plans.

"Miss, your father."

"I understand, I understand, Elder Ling, you can go now."

When Xiao Xun'er heard Ling Ying remind her to complete her father's task again, she immediately sent him away.

"Really, if I finish the mission so early, Father will definitely send me back to the clan. What will I do if I can't see my little brother Xiao Miao then?"

Surrounded by mountains and mist

At this time, Xiao Miao, who had traveled for a day and a half, also arrived at Yunlan Sect.

"Before I took you in as my disciple, I had another disciple named Nalan Yanran, who is also Xiao Yan's fiancée. You can call her Senior Sister. She is still in seclusion. When you come out of seclusion, I will introduce you to her."

"Disciple knows."

Xiao Miao nodded in response to Yun Yun's instructions.

"Put off your mask first, and let your master take a look. The current Pill King Guhe is in my sect, and I'm sure he can heal your face."

Upon hearing Yun Yun's words, Xiao Miao's stunningly beautiful face beneath the mask couldn't help but feel somewhat embarrassed.

This was originally a small misunderstanding.

"Master, my face is actually fine, it's just that taking off the mask will easily cause trouble."

At this moment, Yun Yun felt that Xiao Miao's heartfelt words were meant to frighten her.

"Sigh, since you insist on this, then so be it."

Xiao Miao sighed upon hearing Yun Yun's words.

Before he could react, Yun Yun had already removed his mask.

How could the speed of a Dou Huang powerhouse be compared to that of Xiao Miao, a Dou Shi?

"Don't worry, my disciple, I won't mind."

Before she could finish speaking, Yun Yun saw Xiao Miao's face after he took off his mask and was immediately captivated.

"Master, Master!"

Xiao Miao waved his hand past Yun Yun.

"so cute."

Hearing Yun Yun's soft murmur, Xiao Miao felt helpless.

After all, it was said from the beginning, but this master just didn't believe it.

As Xiao Miao made his gesture, Yun Yun immediately realized what was happening.

Yun Yun had assumed that Xiao Miao's previous words were simply due to his low self-esteem and fear of speaking the truth, but she never expected it.

As her thoughts raced, Yun Yun seemed embarrassed, a blush creeping onto her face.

Xiao Miao took the white fox mask from Yun Yun's hand and put it back on her face.

"Master believes me now, right?"

Hearing Xiao Miao's helpless tone, Yun Yun felt even more embarrassed.

“Who would wear a mask on every day just because they look good? You’re a freak, both in your cultivation and in your personality.”

Xiao Miao was speechless when he heard his master shift the blame onto him again.

"This apprenticeship ceremony will last for three days. You will also need to make an appearance then to show all the forces what my disciple Yun Yun is."

"That mask?"

"Let's take it with us for now."

When Yun Yun heard Xiao Miao's question, she thought that the stunning beauty under the mask would attract many suitors, and for some reason, she didn't want others to see her.

"I'll take you to your training room later. You can get your monthly resource supply from the pill room. I'll be responsible for teaching you combat skills. You can ask me anything you don't understand about cultivation."

"Ah."

"Have you had your battle qi attribute tested at the Xiao family? Let me see if there are any matching cultivation techniques within our sect."

"I possess ice-attribute fighting spirit."

"The Yunlan Sect does not yet possess any Xuan-rank cultivation techniques with ice attributes, this..."

When Yun Yun heard Xiao Miao say that he was of the ice attribute, she couldn't help but feel a little troubled. Ice attribute battle qi was extremely rare, and there were only a few disciples in the Yunlan Sect who practiced only yellow-rank techniques.

But if word got out that Yun Yun's disciples could only practice Yellow-rank techniques, wouldn't that be a laughing stock?

"Actually, I have a cultivation technique that suits my own attributes."

"Could it be that the Xiao family possesses a Xuan-level ice-attribute cultivation technique?"

When Yun Yun heard that Xiao Miao possessed a cultivation technique, she immediately thought of the Xiao family. The Yunlan Sect did not yet have a Xuan-level ice-attribute cultivation technique, but she did not expect that the Xiao family would have one.

"Uh, Master, this cultivation technique of mine was not revealed by the Xiao family."

"Not the Xiao family?"

"Actually, it was my own opportunity that led me to encounter a cultivation technique that suited me, which was a low-level Earth rank technique."

Xiao Miao wouldn't reveal the truth about Xiao, so she lied and said it was just a chance encounter.

"However, this cultivation method is somewhat difficult."

Seeing Xiao Miao's hesitant manner, Yun Yun understood his meaning; after all, it was normal for high-level cultivation techniques to be difficult.

"In that case, you should focus on your cultivation."

When Yun Yun heard Xiao Miao's harsh conditions, she didn't feel much resentment. On the contrary, she strongly supported him, because only through hardship can one become stronger.

Thinking of Xiao Miao's unparalleled beauty beneath the mask, she would have to keep a closer eye on him to prevent him from wasting too much time on romantic relationships.

Chapter 10 Making Friends

"Wind Extreme Slash, go!"

With a girl's delicate shout, a series of azure slashes floating in the air struck the man in front of her.

The two people fighting this time were Nalan Yanran and Xiao Miao. Since yesterday, after Nalan Yanran came out of seclusion, she heard that her master's junior brother had arrived, so she immediately went to see him.

Unfortunately, he didn't get to see her true face, but was utterly crushed by her cultivation talent, and even dragged Xiao Miao into a duel, ostensibly for the sake of it:

"Realm level is not the same as combat strength; actual combat ability is also important."

Xiao Miao, watching the slash falling from the sky, showed no fear whatsoever. He then activated his own battle qi, forming a thin veil of battle qi around his body.

"Ding."

The slash made a ringing sound as it struck the thin veil covering Xiao Miao's body.

"How is this possible? He withstood my Wind Extreme Slash and is completely unharmed?"

Xiao Miao was speechless upon hearing Nalan Yanran's words.

Your level of Dou Qi is only seventh stage, which is not even as high as Xiao Yan's. It would be impossible for me, a fourth-star Dou Shi, to be able to injure you.

"You flatter me, senior sister."

Xiao Miao thought this in his heart, but said something else entirely.

"Okay, I'll let you have your way for now. I'll definitely surpass you in the future, after all, I'm the senior sister."

"Ah, yes, yes, senior sister, good luck! Master asked me to prepare for the final celebration today, so I'll be going now."

"Disciple, over here."

Upon seeing Xiao Miao arrive at the celebration, Yun Yun immediately flashed in front of him and led him to the main seat.

"This is Pill King Guhe, and also an elder of my Yunlan Sect."

With Yun Yun's introduction, Xiao Miao saw the famous Pill King of the Jia Ma Empire for the first time in person.

The man before me had a refined and scholarly appearance, with slightly pursed lips and a slight upturn at the corners. He was dressed in elegant clothes, and on his chest hung the mark of a fifth-grade alchemist, a mark that countless people coveted but could never attain.

Looking at the tenderness in his eyes for his master, and the slight nod he gave to her, Xiao Miao couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

There is a story.

"This is Fama, the president of the Alchemist Association."

"This is Nalan Jie, the head of the Nalan family."

The head of the Nalan family? Is this my senior sister's grandfather?
