The expression of Nalan Jie on the huge tree had become much darker at this moment. His straight body was bent slightly as he let out a long breath. As he sighed, his bitterness was so rich that it was difficult to defuse. Something that was originally very good had ended up in the current situation where he had not only lost an outstanding grandson-in-law, which would cause everyone to be jealous of, but also his face. He had really made a double loss.
Hearing Nalan Jie sigh, Mu Chen and the others beside him could only wisely glance at each other and shake their heads with a bitter smile. Xiao Yan’s performance had already far exceeded their expectations. This little fellow who appeared to have been training by himself was actually able to defeat Nalan Yanran who was specially groomed by the Misty Cloud Sect. The speed of his growth during these three years was something that stunned even Mu Cheng and the others.
“What an extraordinary little fellow.” Fa Ma sighed. Although Xiao Yan had gained a little advantage with his flying Dou Technique during the fight earlier, a sharp eyed person could tell with a glance that he had experienced real blood and sweat while training for such a sharp combat awareness to form. This was far from what Nalan Yanran, who was pampered and trained with a careful training method, could compare with.
“He is indeed not a simple person. Given time, this fellow will definitely become someone great!” Jia Xing Tian nodded his head. This faint evaluation of his was something that he had given to such a young person for the first time in many years.
Hai Bodong stared at into the sky and his heart sighed in relief. Quickly following this, however, it became tense once again. This was because he knew that the most dangerous part of their journey to the Misty Cloud Sect was not the fight with Nalan Yanran, but those Elders of the Misty Cloud Sect.
Moving his gaze downward, Hai Bodong swept his gaze across the Elders of the Misty Cloud Sect who were seated on the stone platform. When his gaze swept passed the slightly green faced Yun Leng, hs brows were slightly knit together. He flicked the hands under his sleeves gently and some cold air slowly shrouded his palm, preparing to handle an abrupt change at any moment.
“Damn little fellow!”
Carrying some anger with his hands, Yun Leng slammed it heavily on the rock table by his side. His face was green. He did not expect that Xiao Yan would not give them any face. The voice which he had used to remind the latter earlier actually did not have any impact.
“First Elder, what do we do next? Nalan Yanran has already lost.” A Misty Cloud Sect’s elder asked with a bitter laugh.
Yun Leng’s face changed repeatedly. Nalan Yanran represented the entire Misty Cloud Sect. Now that she had lost the fight, it would undoubtedly hurt the reputation of the Misty Cloud Sect. With their sect leader currently absent, he, as the First Elder, would naturally need to think of all the ways to save the reputation which they had lost.
“But if we don’t have a suitable excuse in front of the leaders of so many fractions, how do we save our face? If we forcefully try to do something, won’t it appear that our Misty Cloud Sect is no different from bandits?” The thought repeatedly rotated within Yun Leng’s heart.
As his heart fretted over how to save the situation, Yun Leng’s gaze suddenly paused on the white faced Ge Ye’s body below. Currently, the latter’s appearance was as though he had seen a ghost. He stared at Xiao Yan in midair. That shocked manner of his caused the already fretful Yun Leng to be even more furious. He could not resist calling out softly, “Ge Ye, be cautious of your image! You are the deacon within the Misty Cloud Sect!”
Hearing Yun Leng’s cry, Ge Ye’s body trembled once. Finally, he recovered. He turned his head over, pointed his quivering hand toward Xiao Yan in midair while his mouth shivered. His suppressed soft voice that could not hide his fear. “First Elder, he is the mysterious person who killed Mo Cheng!”
These words that Ge Ye released was like a huge explosion that shocked the heavens!
The expression of all the Misty Cloud Sect Elders on the stone platform changed drastically in an instant.
Xiao Yan indifferently watched the falling graceful figure. He called the bitterness and sadness on Nalan Yanran’s face earlier and some fatigue once again flashed across his eyes. For this so called Three Year Agreement, he had left his clan, left that cute girl whom he was worried about. Now that the Three Year Agreement was finally over, his body and even his spirit had at this moment, appeared to have put down a heavy burden which had pressed on him until he had difficulty breathing.
“Finally, it is over.” With a soft sigh, the pair of wings in front of him were flapped. His body followed the path in which Nalan Yanran fell as he slowly descended. Just as he was about to land on the ground, a white shadow suddenly drifted from Nalan Y
