Mortals, and even my disciple Han Li, don't mess with me!

"Master! Master! Master! Something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened!"

Yin Yue's series of shouts startled Han Li, who was in seclusion, out of his cultivation room.

"It happened..."

Before he could finish speaking, Han Li sensed the changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth outside the cave.

Without saying a word, he vanished from his spot and reappeared outside the cave.

Looking up, one sees the colorful vortex of spiritual light, which shines like stars, dazzling and radiant.

"This means... someone has formed a Nascent Soul?"

"That's right. Judging from the direction, it should be your master. He must have condensed his Nascent Soul! You said there was something strange about him before you went into seclusion. Now it seems that he, like you, is hiding in the Luoyun Sect to condense his Nascent Soul."

Silvermoon nodded and shared her guess.

"You're right, it is indeed him."

Han Li looked in the direction of Wu Yun's cave with a complicated expression, his eyes also flashing with a complex and unfathomable look.

I don't know what she's thinking.

"Do you think he might have found out about me too?"

After thinking for a long time, Han Li suddenly asked this question.

"Master, that shouldn't be possible, right?"

Yinyue was also frowning as she pondered.

"No, he might have spotted me."

Han Li shook his head and said with absolute certainty.

"Master, what should we do? Should we leave? But you finally managed to settle down, if we leave like this..."

Silver Moon seemed somewhat reluctant to part with it.

"No matter what, let's pack up and leave the Luoyun Sect to find another place for seclusion. We absolutely cannot take any risks."

Han Li made his decision with unusual firmness.

"Alright, then I'll take down the formation in the cave now."

Upon hearing Han Li's order, Yin Yue said nothing more and immediately began to act.

Han Li glanced longingly and enviously in the direction of Wu Yun's cave before returning to his own cave to pack his belongings and prepare to leave.

To avoid being unable to leave later.

……

Just as Han Li and his servant Silver Moon had finished packing everything and thought they could leave,

Suddenly, a figure appeared outside the cave.

"Little Li, you've been here all these years, and you just leave like this? You're so heartless!"

Wu Yun's appearance and words startled Han Li, who spoke with a complex and extremely unpleasant expression.

"May I ask when you discovered me, senior?"

Han Li really didn't understand where he had given himself away, and he didn't know where he had slipped up.

"What senior? You should call me master. We are, after all, master and disciple."

Wu Yun criticized him in an annoyed manner.

"You should know that I left Senior Brother Cheng and Senior Brother Lü behind to come here specifically because I was afraid you would run away."

"Actually, I can guess what your purpose is in coming here, so I didn't say much and instead took you as my disciple to help you solve some unnecessary troubles. But now you want to abandon me. Isn't that a bit inappropriate? It's really a bit heartless."

Wu Yun immediately started blaming and complaining.

"Master, please forgive me. I didn't mean it. I was just worried."

Faced with a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, Han Li could only bow slightly and address Wu Yun as Master once again.

This eased the tension between them somewhat.

"That's more like politeness. If others knew what happened earlier, they would probably say I didn't teach you well. Alright, you should stay here and cultivate in seclusion as soon as possible to condense your Nascent Soul. That way, our sect will have four Nascent Soul cultivators."

"At that time, I'll see who dares to look down on our Luoyun Sect. Don't you agree?"

Wu Yun's words stunned Han Li, and a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes.

"Does Master mean I should stay and cultivate in seclusion to condense my Nascent Soul?"

"Otherwise, do you think there's anything else going on? In your current state, it's not suitable to find another place to cultivate in seclusion. This is the best place for you to cultivate now. It won't take up too much of your time. You just need to cultivate in seclusion and condense your Nascent Soul as soon as possible. You don't need to worry about anything else. I'll take care of things outside."

Wu Yun nodded and continued to reassure Han Li, all to ensure that Han Li could stay at Luoyun Sect and continue his cultivation.

It was mainly Han Li's strength that made it necessary for him to keep Han Li around.

With such a powerful weapon at his disposal, he won't need to get involved in many things.

The problem of aging among Nascent Soul cultivators in the Tiannan cultivation world can also be fully resolved.

"Master, do you... recognize me?"

After hearing Wu Yun's words, Han Li had this thought flash through his mind, hesitated for a moment, and then asked.

Han Li strongly suspected that Wu Yun knew him; otherwise, such an attitude was rather intimate.

"You're quite clever to have noticed that. Yes, I do know you. But you don't know me. However, you can rest assured that I have no ill intentions. Otherwise, I wouldn't have helped you."

When Han Li pressed him for an answer, Wu Yun readily admitted it without hiding anything.

"No wonder!"

After hearing Wu Yun's answer, Han Li looked at Wu Yun with a strange and complicated expression.

I always felt that Wu Yun had ulterior motives, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it.

"You can continue your secluded cultivation here and try to condense your Nascent Soul as soon as possible. I will take care of the outside world for you. But remember, don't even think about sneaking away. Otherwise, I'll have to enforce the sect rules next time we meet."

Wu Yun revealed a malicious smile, which sent a chill down Han Li's spine.

"No problem, I will be in seclusion in my cave for the rest of the time. I will not leave until I have condensed my Nascent Soul. But I would like to know when I met Master? Or rather, when did Master meet me and get to know me?"

Han Li then asked a crucial question that he cared deeply about.

Wu Yun only answered this question with three words.

"Yellow Maple Valley!"

These three simple words caused Han Li's expression to change once again.

The gaze directed at Wu Yun once again revealed an unprecedented level of surprise and doubt.

After all, almost no one knows that he was born in Huangfeng Valley anymore.

Suddenly, Han Li remembered someone else.

"Master, do you know Senior Brother Wu Feng?"

Wu Feng of Huangfeng Valley was someone Han Li had a good relationship with and greatly admired within Huangfeng Valley.

He was responsible for teaching magic to disciples in the Qi Refining stage, and he was fair, selfless, and dedicated to all his disciples.

This was also a fellow disciple who left a deep impression on Han Li, and Wu Yun's name differed from Wu Feng's by only one character.

Therefore, he now seriously suspects that the two have some kind of relationship.
