Chapter 224: Attending the Misty Cloud Sect

Inside an old study room, there were several rows of bookshelves filled with various books related to Alchemy.

On the right side of the study, away from the bookshelves, was a black censer on the table. A faint smoke, with a calming effect, was slowly rising from the censer.

"Yun Yun has come to visit?" asked Xiao Ming, as he put down the book in his hand and slightly lowered his head to look at the maid in front of him.

"Yes, Master. The Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect and Little Sect Leader Nalan Yanran are both waiting at the door," the maid replied respectfully, giving a slight bow.

"I see. Please invite them to the hall, I'll be there soon," replied Xiao Ming.

The maid nodded and left the room, while Xiao Ming remained in his seat, pondering.

'This visit from Yun Yun is probably about Gu He's injury, right?'

Despite staying in his room for the past two days to study a pill recipe suitable for the Emperor's Stream Pulp, he was not surprised by Yun Yun's visit, as he had already simulated it. However, there were still some details that he did not understand.

'Why is Nalan Yanran also coming with her? Could it be related to the three-year agreement?' he thought with a slight smile, shaking his head. He then stood up and walked out of the room.

...

Outside Xiao Ming's mansion, Nalan Yanran stood with a hint of disappointment as she looked at Yun Yun, who was wearing a gentle smile in front of her.

Nalan Yanran was not unhappy with Yun Yun, but rather with the situation she was in. She inwardly sighed and muttered to herself, 'My grandfather is so unreliable. He sent me here to improve relations with Master Xiao Ming, doesn't he know that in a month it will be the three-year agreement with Xiao Yan?'

Nalan Yanran was very smart and could easily guess her grandfather's intentions. Since Xiao Ming was willing to heal her grandfather's wounds, it was understood that the matter of her visit to the Xiao family was considered resolved.

But even if there was no conflict between the Nalan family and Xiao Ming, Nalan Yanran knew that forming a relationship with a prodigy like Xiao Ming was not something she could do, nor was it likely that the other party would consider her status in the Misty Cloud Sect.

As soon as the door creaked open and the maid appeared, Yun Yun, accompanied by Nalan Yanran, was led to the hall to meet Xiao Ming.

Upon seeing him, Yun Yun's already-smiling face grew even brighter. "Hehe, It's been two years since I last saw you, Master Xiao Ming, your aura has become even more powerful!" she exclaimed.

Yun Yun had improved over the years and had advanced from a three-star Dou Emperor to a four-star Dou Emperor, but she was no longer able to sense Xiao Ming's exact strength, indicating that his progress was higher than hers.

After serving tea, Xiao Ming exchanged a few polite words with Yun Yun and then asked directly about the purpose of her visit. "What is the reason for your visit this time, Sect Leader Yun?"

"Actually, we have come to visit you for several reasons," Yun Yun explained, her voice soft and measured.

"The first is to thank you again for saving my life," Her expression turned serious as she continued, "The second is to ask you to come to our Sect to treat our Elder Gu He's wounds."

Yun Yun paused briefly, her eyes never leaving Xiao Ming's face. "And the third is to ask you if you will be at the three-year agreement that will take place in a month."

"There's no need to mention the matter of saving your life, as you already thanked me before," Xiao Ming replied, referring to the gratitude gift he received from Misty Cloud Sect upon returning to Jia Nan Academy. That gift had been given to Xiao Ming by Xiao Shan.

"I will attend the three-year agreement, and as long as it is a fair duel, I will not interfere," said Xiao Ming. "But regarding Elder Gu He's injury, I still need more information. Isn't he a sixth-tier Alchemist? He should have left some backup sixth-tier healing pills in the Sect, right?"

Hearing his words, Yun Yun nodded slowly, "Since you've already said it, then I won't mention it anymore."

"About Elder Gu He's injuries, I actually don't know much, I've only briefly probed him."

"As for the sixth-tier healing pill, we have some, but it wasn't effective, so I had no choice but to come to bother you, Master." Yun Yun said with a sigh.

"I see. It looks like I'll have to personally go to check up on the extent of his injuries," Xiao Ming said.

"And it just so happens that I am free right now. Let's go see Elder Gu He's condition together."

Yun Yun certainly would not reject Xiao Ming's proposal, and only nodded with a smile.

On the other hand, Nalan Yanran, who was standing next to her, did not have the opportunity to join the conversation, but she was relieved not to. If she had to have an awkward conversation with Xiao Ming, she would rather hide in a hole.

Since they had decided to go to the Misty Cloud Sect, Xiao Ming and the two women got up and left the room.

Outside the mansion, Nalan Yanran did not follow her Master Yun Yun because she could not fly.

Only Xiao Ming and Yun Yun were left, who flew straight to the Misty Cloud Sect.

And the moment Xiao Ming flew, Yun Yun's pupils contracted behind him.

'To be able to fly in the air without wings, this is something that only a... Dou Ancestor powerhouse can possess, Xiao Ming is already a Dou Ancestor?'

"Sect Leader Yun, don't just stand there, let's go," said Xiao Ming, noticing Yun Yun's stunned expression.

"Oh, yes, let's go," said Yun Yun, coming out of her trance and responding mechanically.

...

Misty Cloud Sect.

A handsome man and a beautiful woman descended from the sky and landed in front of the Alchemy Hall. The two individuals were none other than Xiao Ming and Yun Yun.

After a period of time to adjust, Yun Yun reluctantly accepted the fact that Xiao Ming was a Dou Ancestor.

Looking at Xiao Ming beside her, Yun Yun opened her red lips slightly and said, "Master Xiao Ming, this is the Alchemy Hall of our Misty Cloud Sect, Elder Gu He is inside, please follow me."

She then turned her head and walked forward.

As they walked through the sect, there didn't seem to be many Alchemists present, and they only encountered one or two along the way. Soon, the two of them arrived at a room. Yun Yun knocked on the door and said, "Elder Gu He, I have invited Master Xiao Ming, please open the door."

From inside the room, a cough was heard and then a weak voice belonging to a middle-aged man spoke. "Liu Ling, go and open the door."

"Yes, Master."

The door opened and Xiao Ming and Yun Yun entered the room.

The room was elegantly decorated and had a faint medicinal fragrance permeating the air. Gu He, the owner of the room, was sitting on the bed, looking at Xiao Ming and Yun Yun with pale face.

"Master Xiao Ming, it's been a long time since I've seen you. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you with my wounds this time," said Gu He.

Looking at Gu He's injuries, which were quite serious, Xiao Ming raised his eyebrows and said, "I will do my best, but before that, I would also like to ask Elder Gu He to tell me how you were injured. As an Alchemist, you should understand my intentions, right?"

Gu He nodded in understanding, recognizing that Xiao Ming was trying to determine what had caused his injury through his experience.

Of course, it would have been fine for Gu He to immediately tell his judgment, as he himself was an Alchemist. However, Gu He still chose to tell the story of how he got injured.
