Yunlan Mountain, Yunlan Sect, Yunyun’s residence.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. A figure wearing only a green gauze dress was sitting by the pool. Water droplets rolled down from a pair of jade feet, creating ripples on the water surface that collided with each other.

Yun Yun, with her long hair loose, did not look as elegant and graceful as usual. As she looked up at the crescent moon, her eyes seemed a little cold and resentful.

Although Xiao Yuan was only away for a while, she really missed him.

Most of the time, Yun Yun had to preside over the work of the Yunlan Sect, and was so busy that she had no time to think about her feelings.

But now that everything is running smoothly, she has some free time.

During the day, she went to the valley of the Monster Mountain Range, but unfortunately, things and people had changed. The young man who used to treat her injuries with a serious face had already soared into the sky.

It flew quite far away and she couldn't see it anymore.

Ugh!
Yun Yun sighed, took out the white robe that Xiao Yuan had given her that year from the ring, and held it in her arms, as if she could hug the person she was thinking of in this way.

Yun Yun's thoughts raced as she thought about finding a good disciple:
I don't know when Yanran will be able to come out.
The situation in the sect is stable now, and the elders are all less experienced. After Yanran comes out of seclusion, there will be no obstacles for her to take over the sect.

(Because all the Douhuang elders of Yunlan Sect were killed by Wu Hufa)

Suddenly, Yun Yun seemed to sense something. She flipped her palm and a fluorescent jade slip appeared in her hand.

"It's been a long time since we last met. I miss you so much. How is Sister Yun? I'm about to go to Zhongzhou. We agreed to go together. I just don't know if Yanran has come out of seclusion?"

After a message was sent out, the light on the jade slip dimmed a little.

This is the communication jade slip that Xiao Yuan asked Yao Lao to refine, but Yao Lao is still a soul body, so the number of times this jade slip can be used and the length of time it can exist have certain restrictions.

"How come it's so fast?"

Yun Yun was quite happy to get the news from Xiao Yuan, but Yanran had not come out of seclusion yet, so she might find it difficult to leave.

Thinking of this, Yun Yun frowned and was struggling over how to reply to Xiao Yuan. Unexpectedly, at this moment, something strange happened.

hum!
At this moment, a sharp and powerful sword energy suddenly shot into the sky from the back mountain of Yunlan Sect, and the clear and sharp sound echoed in everyone's ears.

At the moment when the sword sounded, a powerful aura suddenly emerged from the back mountain!
"This breath."

Yun Yun came back to her senses and blinked. After carefully sensing and making sure that she was not mistaken, she exclaimed in surprise, "Yanran?"

The clear sound of swords resounded through the sky, and then a rainbow-like sword light flashed out from the back mountain of Yunlan Sect. In a few breaths, it appeared at Yun Yun's residence.

Yun Yun hurriedly put the clothes in her hand back into the ring, and then her whole body flashed with green light, and a green dress condensed out.

The rainbow light dissipated, revealing a figure. She was wearing a black dress, and her three thousand black hair slid down her shoulders smoothly, over her waist, and to her hips. The woman's eyebrows were as black as a picture, her skin was as white as snow, and her slightly thin face just formed a perfect outline, which made people couldn't help but secretly praise her, what a beautiful girl.

Seeing Yun Yun staring at her in a daze, a charming smile suddenly appeared on her delicate face, and her clear voice sounded like a lark.

"teacher"

"Yanran, you, you really broke through the gate of life and death?"

Looking at that pretty face that had become much more mature than before, Yun Yun was overjoyed. She flashed and appeared beside Nalan Yanran, grabbed her arm with both hands, and looked her up and down.

"Well, teacher, I succeeded!"

Nalan Yanran nodded, also quite excited.

"Great!"

Yun Yun couldn't help but say.

"Judging from your aura, you have already reached the peak of Dou Wang now, right?"

Yun Yun then asked.

"Well, teacher, I have accepted the inheritance from the sect's predecessors, and now I am only one step away from the Douhuang level."

There was a hint of joy on Nalan Yanran's face.

"In that case, I can leave this sect to you with confidence!"

Yun Yun nodded, pleased.

"Yes, don't worry, teacher." Nalan Yanran subconsciously gave an affirmative answer, but then she found something wrong, "Huh???"

She widened her eyes and looked at the teacher in front of her, thinking that she might be hallucinating.

Why is he going to pass on the throne as soon as he comes out?

Isn't this right?

"Teacher, I just came out"

Nalan Yanran's smile was a little stiff.

"Yanran, you heard me, our Yunlan Sect has encountered a situation, and now we need you to lead the Yunlan Sect towards revival!"

Yun Yun sighed, then her expression became serious. She told Nalan Yanran everything that had happened in the Yunlan Sect.

Half an hour later, after listening to the story, Nalan Yanran looked dazed and in a trance.

She had only been in the Gate of Life and Death for a few years, so why had things become so crazy outside?

The master who betrayed the sect and brought in the wolf became the former fiancé of the supreme elder. And the teacher who wanted to pass on the throne to him.
This is so confusing!
"Yanran, the decline of the sect is also due to the teacher. You were not here before, so the teacher could not pass the throne to you. But now your strength is enough to lead the Yunlan Sect, and your talent is better than the teacher, so the teacher believes that you can make the Yunlan Sect strong again! Right?"

Yun Yun said to Nalan Yanran solemnly.

Nalan Yanran felt dizzy and nodded foolishly.

"Your coming out of seclusion made quite a fuss. The elders should be here soon. Let's get things done tonight."

Yun Yun was more decisive this time, without the previous hesitation, and immediately spoke while the iron was hot.

"Oh."

Nalan Yanran couldn't listen at all. She just felt a headache and thought she might need to grow a brain.

The next morning, Yun Yun stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the Yunlan Mountains that she had seen since she was a child, with a complicated expression.

She is leaving here and heading for a new world.

Swish!
Nalan Yanran, who had become the new leader of the Yunlan Sect in a daze, flew over.

"teacher"

Nalan Yanran is very smart. Although she was a little confused by the news last night, she has recovered now and seems to have understood Yun Yun's intentions.
This is indeed a bit hurtful to her.
Xiao Yuan didn't say anything, but his act of kidnapping her teacher was more hurtful than any words.

Maybe my vision is really bad!
"Yanran, I am not the most suitable candidate for the leader of Yunlan Sect. You know my personality. What Yunlan Sect needs right now is not the conservative Yun Yun, but the enterprising Nalan Yanran. You are the future of Yunlan Sect. Teacher believes in your ability and you can do all this well."

Yun Yun had a gentle smile on her face. She brushed the scattered hair of Nalan Yanran behind her ears and spoke softly.

"Teacher wants to go out and travel around. Don't worry, teacher will come back. I hope that by then you can develop Yunlan Sect to a level that exceeds its former glory."

Listening to Yun Yun's sincere words, Nalan Yanran nodded seriously:

"Teacher, rest assured, I won't let you down."

"Well, the teacher is gone, Yanran, take care."

Yun Yun nodded slightly and smiled. Then a pair of green wings popped out from behind her. Her figure gradually rose into the air, turning into a stream of light and flying in the direction of her heart.

"teacher"

Nalan Yanran's eyes were filled with reluctance and a hint of sadness.

She understood Yun Yun, and knew that what Yun Yun had just said was not an irresponsible statement.

However, Yun Yun and she tacitly did not mention the more important reason.

Xiao Yuan.

In the quiet courtyard, Xiao Yuan, who was not practicing for the first time, sat on a stone chair, looking at the slightly yellow leaves in the courtyard, and couldn't help but sigh softly. He turned his head and looked at a figure at the gate of the courtyard. He smiled and said, "Sister Xiao Yu."

Xiao Yu at the door nodded, walked slowly into the courtyard, was silent for a while, and said: "You should leave tomorrow, right?"

Xiao Yuan smiled and said, "It's time to leave. If I continue to stay here, I won't be able to gain the strength to truly compete with the Soul Palace. Since I have provoked them, I naturally need to prepare for a rainy day."

"Well, it's just that I can't accompany you. With my current strength, although I am considered a strong man in the family, I feel like a burden next to you."

Xiao Yu sighed somewhat dejectedly, sat down, and leaned in Xiao Yuan's arms, feeling a little depressed.

Looking at Xiao Yu with a lonely look, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness in his eyes. This departure was not like the previous ones. The distance between Zhongzhou and the Black Horn Region and even the Gama Empire was almost immeasurable. Therefore, after this departure, he didn't know when he would come back next time.

"After you leave, I plan to stay in the inner courtyard as an elder. You are out there, so don't mess around with other girls anymore. You already have enough of them now."

Suddenly, Xiao Yu said with some resentment.

"Okay, I'll pay attention. I have some things here. Some are for your cultivation resources, some are for your family, and some need you to give them to Sister Yafei. I don't trust others to handle these things, so it's safest for you to do it."

Xiao Yuan smiled and handed a storage ring to Xiao Yu.

"Well, don't worry." Xiao Yu nodded and asked, "When will you be back this time?"

Xiao Yuan was silent, then shook his head and whispered, "I don't know."

Without waiting for Xiao Yuan to speak, Xiao Yu blocked Xiao Yuan's mouth and hummed in a low voice: "Then you have to accompany me well tonight!"

The next day, warm sunlight poured down from the sky and shone in front of the inner courtyard gate. There, densely packed heads were moving, and their eyes were looking at the small hill outside the gate, where several figures were standing upright.

"Grand Elder, Sister Xiao Yu, everyone, please send them here."

Xiao Yuan looked at Su Qian and Xiao Yu at the gate of the courtyard, then looked at Wu Hao and the many inner courtyard students behind him, and couldn't help but smile and said aloud.

Looking at the young man in white with a warm smile, Su Qian felt a little sad and said, "There are many of you. Xin Lan has not yet reached the Dou Wang level and cannot fly, so this griffin beast can be used as a means of transportation."

As soon as Su Qian finished speaking, a huge black shadow came slowly down from the sky with the sound of an eagle's cry. The fluttering of its huge wings brought up a gust of wind that made the small trees around it bend down.

"Thank you, Great Elder."

Looking at the griffin in front of him, Xiao Yuan felt warm in his heart, and he clasped his fists and smiled at Su Qian.

After saying this, Xiao Yuan seemed not to want to stay too long in this atmosphere of farewell. He moved and appeared on the griffin. Afterwards, Xiao Yan, Xiao Yixian, Zi Yan, Ye Chong and Ye Xinlan followed closely. Fortunately, the back of the griffin was not small, so the six of them did not seem crowded when they got on together.

"Xiao Yuan, come back safely!"

Looking at the griffin that was slowly flapping its wings, Xiao Yu's eyes flashed with lightning and he couldn't help but shout.

Standing on the huge head of the griffin, Xiao Yuan smiled gently at Xiao Yurou, then slowly swept his eyes over everyone. Finally, he took a deep breath, waved his sleeves, and a strong wind carried the griffin into the air quickly.

"President, come back safely!"

As the griffin gradually rose into the air, suddenly a loud roar rang out from the gate of the courtyard below. Xiao Yuan tilted his head slightly and saw many members of the Lionheart Society, their faces flushed and they were shouting at the top of their lungs.

With a slight smile, Xiao Yuan clasped his fists towards the people below, and his loud laughter slowly spread down as the griffin took off into the air.

"The mountain does not turn and the water turns, everyone, there will be a period later! If there is a destiny, see you in Zhongzhou!"

The loud laughter spread slowly, and the griffin in the sky turned into a small black dot and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight. As the lingering sound lingered, many people felt a little sad.

Su Qian slowly withdrew his gaze, tilted his head to look at Xiao Yu beside him with red eyes, and smiled to comfort him: "Don't worry, with the strength and temperament of those two little guys, they can still do well even in Zhongzhou."

"Well, I always believed in them."

Xiao Yu also smiled when he heard that, with a hint of pride in his words. They are a family.

"I believe him, too. These two little guys will become the pride of Canaan College." Su Qian laughed loudly, then turned and walked towards the inner courtyard, saying as he walked, "I really don't know how wonderful it would be if these two little guys met the dean when they were in Zhongzhou? With the dean's personality, hehe."

Hearing the strange laughter at the end of Su Qian's words, the people at the gate of the courtyard couldn't help but look at each other, and then turned around and followed in confusion.
Far above the sky, the huge gryphon flapped its wings, and a faint light shield spread out from its body, resisting the oncoming wind.

Xiao Yuan stood on the back of the griffin with his hands behind his back, his gaze slowly turned towards the inner courtyard which had disappeared from his sight, with a hint of loneliness due to parting in his expression.

"Do you really want to take this girl with you?"

The little medical fairy at the side seemed to know that Xiao Yuan was in low spirits at the moment, so she changed the subject, looked at Zi Yan, whose face was full of excitement, with her beautiful eyes, and whispered.

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan also pulled his mind back, glanced at Zi Yan, and said with a smile: "The elder asked me to bring her along, saying that we might be able to uncover some of her true secrets in Zhongzhou."

"Humph, I am now at the Douhuang level. Are you still worried that I will hold you back?"

Although Xiao Yuan and the other man spoke in a low voice, Zi Yan still heard them. She glared at them and snorted in dissatisfaction.

Smiling and rubbing Zi Yan's head, Xiao Yuan did not argue with her. He looked at Ye Zhong and said with a smile: "Wait a moment, there is another person who wants to go to Zhongzhou together."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a fluctuation of fighting spirit in the distance, and a graceful figure flashed by like flying catkins. At that speed, even Ye Chong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Seeing the figure flash by, Xiao Yuan also showed a gentle smile on his face.

The time is just right. (End of this chapter)
