Chapter 77: Body Movement Martial Skill, Wind Treading

  Gu He looked at Xiao Yi Xian with fusion. "She came to find me, but for what reason?"

  Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian shook her head. "The Sect Leader didn't say. However, she left a scroll for you and theed. Acc to Senior Sister Nan, the Sect Leader has left the sect again."

  Saying this, she took out a scroll from her spatial ring and ha to Gu He.

  "She left again? Why?" Gu He took the scroll from Xiao Yi Xian's hand, feeling puzzled. This woman had just broken through, so why was she in such a hurry to leave again?

  Seeing Gu He's fusion, Xiao Yi Xian expined, "Acc to Senior Sister Nan, the Sect Leader went out this time to find some cultivation resources to enhance her cultivation speed."

  "It is said that Xiao Yan, who divorced Senior Sister Nan, has awakened his talent and seems extremely extraordinary. This has made the Sect Leader somewhat uneasy. Sht after her breakthrough, she immediately left the sect." Xiao Yi Xian expined slowly.

  As she spoke, she felt a bit plicated in her heart.

  She uood that the Sect Leader leaving the sect was somewhat reted to her.

  If she hadn't put so much pressure on Nan Yanran, things might not have turned out this way.

  Gu He, hearing this, was slightly stunned. He hadn't expected that news of Xiao Yan's recovery would spread to the ist Sect so quickly.

  Then he sighed inwardly. Yun Yun, the Sect Leader, wasn't doing a petent job.

  Most of the time, she wasn't even in the sect. How could she be sidered a qualified Sect Leader?

  Afterward, Gu He's eyes showed a hint of curiosity as he opehe scroll in his hand.

  "High-level Profound Rank Martial Skill, Wind Treading!"

  Gng at the scroll, Gu He's eyes fshed.

  Surprisingly, it was a high-level Profound Rank Martial Skill.

  Gu He wasn't g in high-level Profound Rank Martial Skills.

  But what surprised him was that this was actually a Martial Skill for body movement.

  As is well known, among Martial Skills of the same level, body movement skills are the most precious.

  The value of a high-level Profound Rank body movement Martial Skill is almost parable to an ordinary Earth Rank Martial Skill.

  Gu He felt a slight joy in his heart.

  Now I am g a body movement martial skill?

  Uedly, Yun Yun happeo send oo me.

  Could this be her expression of gratitude?

  ...

  At this moment, on the summit of the rear mountain of ist Sect, where clouds and mist linger, creating a fairynd-like se.

  On a protruding bck rock at the edge of the cliff, a woman dressed in a moon-white dress was f the seals for cultivation with both hands, practig with closed eyes. With eahation aion, a perfect cycle was formed. During the alternation of each cycle, a faint greenish flow of energy would emanate from the rich air arouhe flow of energy hovered around the woman, then was tinuously absorbed into her body, undergoing refi and absorption...

  After the st strand of green energy was absorbed into her body, Nan Yanran slowly opened her eyes, and a faint green light fshed in her eyes. The long, bck hair hanging down her shoulders fluttered for a moment without any wind.

  "Teacher is right; the Dou Qi here in the back mountain is indeed much richer." Feeling the gains from this cultivation, Nan Yanran's lips revealed a smile.

  "Sister Nan, Elder Nan has e to ist Sect. He said he wants you to meet him."

  Seeing the womaing her cultivation state, a ist Sect female disciple who had been waiting there spoke respectfully.

  "Father? What is he here for?"

  Upon hearing this, Nan Yanran furrowed her delicate eyebrows, shook her head in doubt, elegantly stood up, and stood on the edge of the cliff. The oning breeze tightly pressed the moon-white dress against her graceful figure, making her curves vivid and attractive.

  With a zy gaze, she swept uhe deep and bottomless cliff. Nan Yanran lightly brushed the moon-white dress, then turned ahe pce where Yun Yun had personally selected for her cultivation.

  ...

  In the spacious and bright hall, a middle-aged man with a slightly gloomy plexion held a teacup, pced his hand oable, aapping the tabletop impatiently.

  Nan Susu was now very annoyed because he ractically driven to ist Sect by his father Nan Jie using a stick.

  He didn't expect that after leading troops to be stationed in the western part of the empire for only a year, his audacious daughter dared to uniterally cel the marriage agreement that his father had personally set up.

  Within the family, everyone khat Nan Jie was very ed about faan Yanran's current as undoubtedly would make others say that the Nan family, seeing the dee of the Xiao family's influence, disdaio ally with them, breaking off the e.

  This kind of gossip made Nan Jie explode in anger every day at home. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't move, he probably would have dragged his aging body to climb ist Mountain.

  To be ho, Nan Susu did not fully support the marriage between the Nan family and the Xiao family. After all, back then, Xiao Yan was almost synonymous with waste. It made him very unwilling to marry his daughter, who was both beautiful and talented in cultivation, to someone who was sidered a waste.

  However, that was in the past. Acc to the information he received, the current Xiao Yan not only shed the bel of waste but also dispyed a cultivatiohat was almost more terrifying than his peak childhood.

  The potential demonstrated by Xiao Yan at this moment was undoubtedly enough to make Nan Susu pay attention. However, Nan Yanran's uniteral as turhe retionship betweewo families into a cold deadlock, making Nan Susu extremely embarrassed.

  "This girl, her ce is getting bigger and bigger..."

  The more he thought about it, the angrier Nan Susu became. He suddenly smmed the teacup in his hand heavily oabletop, spshing tea all over the table. The maid who was serving on the side was startled and hurriedly repced it with a new cup.

  "Father, since you have e to ist Sect, why didn't you inform Yan'er?"

  Just when Nan Susu was furious, a clear voice suddenly sounded in the hall. A figure in moon-white attire walked out from behind the curtain, and a charming smile appeared on her face as she spoke sweetly to Nan Susu.

  "Humph, do you still reize me as your father? I thought that after being a disciple of the Cloud Sect Leader, you would fet what the Nan family is!" Looking at his increasingly beautiful daughter, Nan Susu's anger subsided slightly, and he snorted coldly.

  Seeing Nan Su's displeasing expression, Nan Yanran helplessly shook her head, waved to the maid on the side, and dismissed her.

  "Father, it's been more than a year since we st met. As soon as you e, you scold Yan'er. When I go back this time, I will defiell mother!" After the maid left, Nan Yanran wrinkled her pretty nose, sat down beside Nan Su, and pouted.

  "Go back? Do you dare to go back?" Hearing this, Nan Su's mouth cracked into a grin. "If you dare to go back, see if yrandfather dares to break ys!"

  Rolling her eyes, Nan Yanran, who uood the meaning behind Nan Su's words, naturally knew what he was implying.

  "You should know the purpose of my ing here, right?"

  Drinking a mouthful of tea, Nan Su said with a dark expression.

  "It's about my celed e, right?"

  Pying with a strand of her green hair, Nan Yanran said casually.

  Seeing Nan Yanran's calm appearanan Su suddenly burst into ughter. Spping the table heavily with his hand, he angrily said, "The marriage ersonally agreed upon by yrandfather. Who allowed you to annul it?"

  "That was my marriage. I don't want to marry anyone acc to your wishes. I will make my own decisions about my matters! I don't care who agreed to it; all I know is that if acc to the agreement, I am the one marrying, not grandfather!"

  Bringing up this matter, Nan Yanran's expression turned unpleasant. As an indepe-minded person, she disliked having her major life decisions dictated by others, even if that person was her elder.

  "Don't think I don't know. You just think that Xiao Yan, who was once sidered a waste, is not worthy of yht? But now that he has potential parable to yours! With your status in ist Sect, you should have received information about his strength improvement, right?" Nan Su scolded.

  Nan Yanran frowned slightly. Memories of the stubborn young man from back then fshed in her mind. She pursed her lips and said, "I have indeed heard some information about him. I didn't expect him to really shed the bel of being a waste. It's quite surprising."

  "Surprising? Just a word of surprise is enough? Yrandfather has spoken. He wants you to find a time to go to Wu Tan City again. It would be best if you could apologize and ease the strained retionship."

  "Apologize? Impossible!"

  Upon hearing this, Nan Yanran raised her eyebrows. Without hesitation, she directly refused, coldly humming, "Although Xiao Yan is no longer a waste, I, Nan Yanran, will never marry him! Not to mention apologizing. If you like it, then go by yourself. I won't go to Wu Tan City again!"

  "Where do you get the right to refuse? You caused this trouble, and you must go there to settle it!" Seeing Nan Yanran's ht refusal, Nan Su suddenly became furious.

  "I won't go!"

  With a cold faan Yanran raised her snowy white , and her cheeks showed a natural sense of preciousness. "Even if Xiao Yan has some abilities now, do you think I, Nan Yanran, am inferior to him in any way? Moreover, ist Sect has tless profound cultivation teiques, not to mention the vast colle of advanced martial arts. Elder Gu He even helps me refine pills. a young master from a small family have these things? Speaking frankly, he probably needs more than a decade just to search for advanced martial arts!"

  Being looked down upon in such a way, Nan Yanran, who despised being pared to the once-sed waste, suddenly felt like a mother cat whose tail was stepped on. She least liked being told she was inferior to someone she once looked down on.

  Seeing his daughter making a fuss, Nan Su was so angry that he blew his beard and stared. He suddenly stood up, raised his palm, and was about to sp Nan Yanran.

  "Nan Brother, please don't mess around." Seeing Nan Su's movements, a white figure swiftly rushed in and stood in front of Nan Yanran.

  "Nan Yanran, is it true that you were apanied by this sdrel to Xiao's house st time?" Seeing the figure in front, Nan Su's anger surged even more, and he angrily asked.

  With an awkward smile, Ge Ye helplessly said, "This was the iion of the Sect Leader; I had no choice."

  "What is the Sect Leader doing? Allowing Yanran to do such foolish things? If Xiao Yan really defeats Yanran three years ter, will she really bee a servant for him?" Although Nan Su's anger slightly subsided at the mention of the Sect Leader, there was still a lot of rese in his words. After all, losing a highly potential son-in-w and gaining a potential formidable enemy would put anyone in a bad mood.

  "Hehe, Brother Nan, don't be anxious. What's done is done, and now it's useless to say anything. Even if you make Yanran apologize, it won't mend the retionship betweewo families. Why bother to seek trouble? As for the three-year agreement, you rest assured. The Sect Master has retly desded from the mountain and personally prepared the st few ingredients for a medial formu for Yanran. As long as Elder Gu He refihe pill wheime es, it will be difficult for Xiao Yan to catch up with Yanran's cultivatiress. As long as Yanran shows some mercy during the three-year agreement, it should ease the anger in his heart." Ge Ye smiled.

  "What kind of medial formu has su effect?" Nan Su asked with a slight frown.

  "Hehe, that 't be said yet. The medial formu was obtained by the Sect Master during an expedition in the mountains st year. It should have bee by predecessors. As for the efficacy, you'll know wheime es..." Ge Ye said mysteriously.

  Seeing Ge Ye's reluce to reveal more, Nan Su waved his hand impatiently. Looking at Nan Yanran, who was still stubbornly standing behind Ge Ye, he could only shake his head helplessly and stomp his foot in frustration. "Fet it, I don't want to deal with you. If you lose, bee a maidservant warming someone else's bed. Don't mention that you have aion to the Nan family. I 't afford to lose face like that."

  After saying that, Nan Su, full of rese, left the hall.

  Watg his figure disappear at the end of the line of sight, Ge Ye sighed in relief. Turning around to look at Nan Yanran, who still had a stubborn expression, he sighed and said, "I really didn't expect... that little guy from the Xiao family actually mao climb up."

  "What does it matter... three years ter, I will definitely defeat him honorably." Nan Yanran sat in a chair, speaking with determination.

  "Yanran, do you... really have fiden defeating him ihree-year agreement?" After hesitating for a while, Ge Ye suddenly asked.

  "Uncle Ge, how e even you think I'm not as good as that waste... him." Hearing this, Nan Yanran immediately expressed her displeasure.

  With a bitter smile and a shake of his head, Ge Ye sighed, "Always feel that that little guy is somewhat mysterious..."

  Pouting, Nan Yanrahe teacup with her jade-like hand, slightly g it. Her gaze was fixed on the pale green tea, and she coldly snorted in her heart, "I don't believe you really climb over me! If I 't match Junior Sister Xiao, that's acceptable, but I let a waste surpass me?"

  "Xiao Yan, I, Nan Yanran, am waiting for you at ist Sect! If you have the ability, e as agreed!"
