    Chapter 77: Body Movement Martial Skill, Wind Treading

    Gu He looked at Xiao Yi Xian with confusion. "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 then departed. According to Senior Sister Nalan, the Sect Leader has left the sect again."

    Saying this, she took out a scroll from her spatial ring and handed it 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 confusion, Xiao Yi Xian explained, "According to Senior Sister Nalan, 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 Nalan, has awakened his talent and seems extremely extraordinary. This has made the Sect Leader somewhat uneasy. So, right after her breakthrough, she immediately left the sect." Xiao Yi Xian explained slowly.

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

    She understood that the Sect Leader leaving the sect was somewhat related to her.

    If she hadn''t put so much pressure on Nalan 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 Cloud Mist Sect so quickly.

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

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

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

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

    Glancing at the scroll, Gu He''s eyes flashed.

    Surprisingly, it was a high-level Profound Rank Martial Skill.Discover new chapters at novelhall.com

    Gu He wasn''t lacking 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 comparable to an ordinary Earth Rank Martial Skill.

    Gu He felt a slight joy in his heart.

    Now I am lacking a body movement martial skill?

    Unexpectedly, Yun Yun happened to send one to me.

    Could this be her expression of gratitude?

    ...

    At this moment, on the summit of the rear mountain of Cloud Mist Sect, where clouds and mist linger, creating a fairyland-like scene.

    On a protruding black rock at the edge of the cliff, a woman dressed in a moon-white dress was forming the seals for cultivation with both hands, practicing with closed eyes. With each inhalation and exhalation, a perfect cycle was formed. During the alternation of each cycle, a faint greenish flow of energy would emanate from the rich air around her. The flow of energy hovered around the woman, then was continuously absorbed into her body, undergoing refinement and absorption...

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

    "That was my marriage. I don''t want to marry anyone according 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 according to the agreement, I am the one marrying, not grandfather!"

    Bringing up this matter, Nalan Yanran''s expression turned unpleasant. As an independent-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 considered a waste, is not worthy of you, right? But now that he has potential comparable to yours! With your status in Cloud Mist Sect, you should have received information about his strength improvement, right?" Nalan Su scolded.

    Nalan Yanran frowned slightly. Memories of the stubborn young man from back then flashed 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 label of being a waste. It''s quite surprising."

    "Surprising? Just a word of surprise is enough? Your grandfather 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 relationship."

    "Apologize? Impossible!"

    Upon hearing this, Nalan Yanran raised her eyebrows. Without hesitation, she directly refused, coldly humming, "Although Xiao Yan is no longer a waste, I, Nalan 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 Nalan Yanran''s outright refusal, Nalan Su suddenly became furious.

    "I won''t go!"

    With a cold face, Nalan Yanran raised her snowy white chin, and her cheeks showed a natural sense of preciousness. "Even if Xiao Yan has some abilities now, do you think I, Nalan Yanran, am inferior to him in any way? Moreover, Cloud Mist Sect has countless profound cultivation techniques, not to mention the vast collection of advanced martial arts. Elder Gu He even helps me refine pills. Can 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, Nalan Yanran, who despised being compared to the once-scorned 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, Nalan Su was so angry that he blew his beard and stared. He suddenly stood up, raised his palm, and was about to slap Nalan Yanran.

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

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

    With an awkward smile, Ge Ye helplessly said, "This was the intention 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 later, will she really become a servant for him?" Although Nalan Su''s anger slightly subsided at the mention of the Sect Leader, there was still a lot of resentment in his words. After all, losing a highly potential son-in-law and gaining a potential formidable enemy would put anyone in a bad mood.

    "Hehe, Brother Nalan, 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 relationship between the two families. Why bother to seek trouble? As for the three-year agreement, you can rest assured. The Sect Master has recently descended from the mountain and personally prepared the last few ingredients for a medicinal formula for Yanran. As long as Elder Gu He refines the pill when the time comes, it will be difficult for Xiao Yan to catch up with Yanran''s cultivation progress. 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 medicinal formula has such an effect?" Nalan Su asked with a slight frown.

    "Hehe, that can''t be said yet. The medicinal formula was obtained by the Sect Master during an expedition in the mountains last year. It should have been left by predecessors. As for the efficacy, you''ll know when the time comes..." Ge Ye said mysteriously.

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

    After saying that, Nalan Su, full of resentment, left the hall.

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

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

    "Yanran, do you... really have confidence in defeating him in the three-year agreement?" After hesitating for a while, Ge Ye suddenly asked.

    "Uncle Ge, how come even you think I''m not as good as that waste... him." Hearing this, Nalan 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, Nalan Yanran held the teacup with her jade-like hand, slightly clenching it. Her gaze was fixed on the pale green tea, and she coldly snorted in her heart, "I don''t believe you can really climb over me! If I can''t match Junior Sister Xiao, that''s acceptable, but can I let a waste surpass me?"

    "Xiao Yan, I, Nalan Yanran, am waiting for you at Cloud Mist Sect! If you have the ability, come as agreed!"
