Chapter 97: Misty Cloud Sect, Master and Disciple

The Misty Cloud Sect, with a heritage passed down from generation to generation, made this ancient sect stand at the top of the Jia Ma Empire.

Were it not for the rules of the Sect stating not to seize power from the emperor, one fears that the Misty Cloud Sect would have taken over the entire empire in several previous dynastic changes.

Although it did not control the entire empire, there is no doubt about the Sect's position in the Empire.

The Sect was founded on Misty Cloud Mountain, which is only a few tens of kilometers away from the imperial capital, if the Sect selected it, it was because naturally, it was a feng shui treasure.

It is not a solitary peak but is surrounded by many mountains, it is the highest of them all, and when the surrounding mountains bend skyward, it suddenly appears like a sword, pointing straight up into the blue sky.

As if in defiance of the sky, the exposed peak is surrounded by clusters of white clouds suspended like islands.

At the top of the steep, cloudy hill, a slender figure loomed out of the mist.

The woman is dressed in a purple and blue robe, adorned with gold inlay, and her long bluish-white hair was partially pulled back like the long song of a phoenix, faintly revealing an undisguised nobility, her beautiful and touching face was very calm, like a clear spring in the mountains, which made people feel awe at her noble bearing.

Tap tap tap tap...

As the woman gazed thoughtfully at the clouds in front of her, footsteps sounded behind her.

The woman turned around and looked at the person coming.

She was a cold-looking young woman with a beautiful and delicate face that looked like a heavenly fairy. She wore a black dress with gold stripes outlining her well-proportioned body.

Looking at the young woman's face, which seemed to be tinged with a hint of sadness, the woman asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Yanran, didn't you take a trip home yesterday, why don't you look happy, did you run into something?"

Hearing her master's question, Nalan Yanran couldn't help but remember what her father and grandfather had told her upon returning home, and couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness inside. "Master, you knew that I have a marriage contract, didn't you?"

"Well, I heard you say that, could it be related to this matter?" Yun Yun listened to her apprentice's words with a frown as she asked with some doubt.

She knew that this disciple of hers had a marriage contract, but it seemed that this disciple had always been very resistant to this marriage contract and rarely mentioned it.

"The person I am engaged to, he's from the Xiao family of Wu Tan City."

The Xiao family of Wu Tan City!

As soon as Nalan Yanran said the words, Yun Yun felt that she had heard of this family, and soon, a light came to her mind, and she thought of the information that had been presented to her not long ago.

Her mouth blurted out, "The Xiao family of Wu Tan City, the family where Xiao Ming came from!"

"That's right, it's the Xiao family where the one known as "Monstrous Talent Rarely Found in a Thousand Years of the Jia Ma Empire", Xiao Ming, came from. Some time ago news came that Xiao Ming had returned from the Jia Nan Academy, and my grandfather asked me to find a time to go there, to go there... To recognize my relatives!"

Nalan Yanran's expression was somewhat annoyed.

When Yun Yun heard the words, she knew in her heart that this kinship recognition was a lie, bringing the two families together was the real thing, right?

According to the information from the Misty Cloud Sect, she had already learned that Xiao Ming of the Xiao Clan was a powerful Dou King and was also a sixth-tier alchemist.

A Dou King powerhouse and a teenage sixth-tier alchemist was indeed an existence that needed to be courted.

In fact, for Xiao Ming, Yun Yun had heard of his great name a long time ago, only at that time, Xiao Ming's talent was so exaggerated that she thought it was a false rumor.

By the time Xiao Ming went to Jia Nan Academy later, she realized that it was not a false rumor and that it was too late to bring him to the Misty Cloud Sect.

In fact, this was also related to the fact that Xiao Ming's talent had been exposed for a very short time.

Xiao Ming had not remained in the Xiao family for long after his talent was exposed, moreover, most of the forces in the Jia Ma Empire were families linked by blood, so Xiao Ming had not had any contact with other major forces before leaving the Jia Ma Empire.

Leaving aside what Yun Yun thought.

Nalan Yanran, who was in front of her, spoke in a firm tone after struggling internally, "Master, I want to annul the marriage arrangement!"

"Have you already made up your mind? None of the Jia Ma Empire's forces want to get on the bad side of Wu Tan City's Xiao family now, the reason is that Xiao Ming is a sixth-tier alchemist, that is, a fourteen-year-old sixth tier, your family will definitely not agree with you annulling the marriage arrangement."

Nalan Yanran pursed her lips tightly and said with a stubborn face, "I have already thought about the matter of annulling the marriage arrangement ever since I heard about the arrangement. Even if it was Xiao Ming, I have to disengage from this engagement, I don't want to marry a man I don't know, nor do I want my marriage to be used as a bargaining chip for my family's status."

Yun Yun sighed and stepped forward to pat Nalan Yanran's head, looking at her beloved disciple, she said softly, "In that case, then let's annul the marriage agreement. You are the Little Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect, as long as you don't want to, there is no one in the Jia Ma Empire who can force you."

Although Xiao Ming was also a target that the Misty Cloud Sect wanted to attract, However, Yun Yun still cared more about her disciple's feelings than attracting Xiao Ming.

Besides, a genius of Xiao Ming's level was not easy to attract, and the other party in her apprentice's marriage arrangement was not him, so she would simply annul the marriage.

As long as sufficient compensation is given, it should be fine.

It was just that the Xiao family now had a sixth-tier alchemist, they were no longer a second-rate power, and courtesy when knocking on the door should not be lacking.

After some thought, Yun Yun said, "Tomorrow, I will personally accompany you to the Xiao family to annul the marriage."

...

Jia Ma Sacred City, deep in the Imperial City, in a secluded bamboo forest in the back mountain.

An unusually hurried pace ran along the gravel road in the middle of the bamboo forest.

The gravel path led directly to the top of the mountain, and the figure did not stop until he reached the end of the path.

What appeared before him was a huge lake with a small pavilion in the center, in which stood an old man dressed in linen, drinking tea.

Apparently sensing the figure's arrival, the linen-robed old man's right hand, which was fiddling with the hollows, paused slightly before speaking in a low voice.

"Shadow Guard, what is it?"

The voice was not loud, but it accurately reached the ears of the figure outside.

Hearing this sudden voice, the silhouette did not panic but knelt on the ground as if he was used to it, clasped his hands together, and said respectfully.

"News has come from Wu Tan City that Xiao Ming of the Xiao Clan is already a sixth-tier alchemist, and together with him this time, there is also a powerful Dou King who returned with him to the clan."

!!!!

The hands of the linen-clad elder in the center of the lake pavilion, who was fiddling with his tea set, trembled violently.

"A sixth-tier alchemist! There's nothing wrong with the information, is there?"

"The night Xiao Ming returned to the Xiao Family, the Xiao Family held a banquet for him, and the Xiao Clan Head said in public that Xiao Ming was a Sixth Tier Alchemist, and Xiao Ming was present at the time and did not deny it."
