Chapter 70: Yun Yun's Shock!
Nalan Yanran looked at the chattering Yun Yun in silence.
If this were in the past, hearing Yun Yun speak like this, she would have been extremely confident, patting her chest and saying, "Teacher, rest assured, first place in the inner disciple competition is definitely mine."
"What three-year agreement, what Xiao Yan, I didn't even consider him. Isn't he just a waste? How can he compare to me?"
But that was in the past.
In the past month, witnessing the monstrous talent of Xiao Yi Xian and the recent attack in the dense forest, Nalan Yanran's mindset had completely changed. Although she didn't fall to the point of feeling inferior, she was no longer as arrogant as before.
Now, hearing Yun Yun mention the inner disciple competition, Nalan Yanran instinctively glanced at Xiao Yi Xian beside her.
With Xian'er junior sister here, how could she claim the first place?
Teacher, this time, Yanran is destined to disappoint you.
Feeling somewhat disheartened, Nalan Yanran did not respond to Yun Yun's words.
Yun Yun talked for a long time, but seeing Nalan Yanran keeping her head down and remaining silent, she became somewhat puzzled.
What's wrong with this girl today?
How come she seems strange?
Could it be that she's not feeling well?
Thinking of this, Yun Yun asked with some concern, "Yanran, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Nalan Yanran shook her head and responded reluctantly, "Teacher, I'm fine."
On the side, Xiao Yi Xian saw Nalan Yanran's sudden downturn in mood. Being perceptive, she immediately understood Nalan Yanran's thoughts.
It seems that Senior Sister Yanran has been affected by my progress.
This made Xiao Yi Xian think of her big brother's reaction when she broke through to the Dou Master level. Thinking about it, she couldn't help but sigh.
In the future, she should try to conceal her cultivation level as much as possible. Otherwise, she won't be able to have fun with Senior Sister Yanran anymore.
To avoid further embarrassment for Nalan Yanran, Xiao Yi Xian hesitated for a moment, then stood up to bid farewell, "Sect Master, Senior Sister Yanran, it's getting late. I should be going."
Upon hearing this, Yun Yun was taken aback, focusing her attention on Xiao Yi Xian, and said, "Not staying a bit longer? It's still early."
Xiao Yi Xian shook her head and said, "Teacher likes to have afternoon tea. I need to go back and make tea for Teacher. I'll come again another day."
Nalan Yanran glanced at Xiao Yi Xian, somewhat understanding her intentions. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Junior Sister..."
Xiao Yi Xian looked at Nalan Yanran and smiled, "Senior Sister, I'll come to see you again tomorrow."
Hearing this, Yun Yun grew even fonder of Xiao Yi Xian.
This girl always remembers her teacher.
She's truly a filial and good child.
Stepping forward, Yun Yun held Xiao Yi Xian's small hand and said gently, "Since your teacher has asked you to learn from Yanran, don't be reserved. Come whenever you want, treat this place as your own home."
Yun Yun continued warmly, "If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask your senior sister. If she dares to bully you, just tell me, and I'll take care of her."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian looked at Nalan Yanran, who seemed awkward, and a hint of a smile flashed in her beautiful eyes. "Yes, Sect Master, I understand. Senior Sister has been very good to me during this time."
Hearing their conversation, Nalan Yanran felt ashamed and couldn't help but scream inwardly.
Teacher! Could you please stop talking!
How can I bully my junior sister anymore?
You better pray to all the gods and buddhas that she doesn't make a mistake and injure your precious disciple with a careless move.
After Yun Yun gave some instructions to Xiao Yi Xian, she released her hand, allowing her to leave.
"What a good child!"
Watching Xiao Yi Xian's departing figure, Yun Yun couldn't help but praise her again.
Then, Yun Yun turned to Nalan Yanran and said, "Yanran, you should get along well with your junior sister. The more I see her, the more I like this girl."
Nalan Yanran, hearing this, hesitated for a moment and sighed in relief as Xiao Yi Xian left.
If her junior sister didn't leave, and Yun Yun continued speaking, she would truly be unable to face her in the future.
Seeing Nalan Yanran's lack of response, Yun Yun furrowed her brows and asked, "Yanran, what's going on with you today? Your behavior is strange. Aren't you happy that your teacher is back?"
"No."
Nalan Yanran shook her head, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly spoke, "Teacher, could you please not praise me in front of others in the future, especially... in front of Junior Sister..."
Upon hearing this, Yun Yun was slightly stunned, then realized what was happening. A smile appeared on her face, "I didn't expect that, after a month, Yanran, you've learned to be shy."
She thought Nalan Yanran was just feeling embarrassed.
Hearing this, Nalan Yanran couldn't help but sigh and look at Yun Yun with an expression that said, "Teacher, today I need to broaden your horizons and show you what true genius is."
To help Yun Yun understand, Nalan Yanran decided to reveal Xiao Yi Xian's situation. She wanted Yun Yun to realize that her outstanding disciple wasn't that exceptional.
After a while, Nalan Yanran finished speaking and said with a downcast expression, "Teacher, compared to Junior Sister Xian'er, I'm really not a genius."
At this moment, Yun Yun was completely stunned.
Five-Star Dou Master?
That girl has actually broken through to a Five-Star Dou Master? Isn't this a bit too unbelievable?
Yun Yun found it hard to believe what Nalan Yanran had just said.
Is there really such a genius in this world?
After a moment of silence, Yun Yun wanted to ask more but saw Nalan Yanran's somewhat disheartened look. She instantly understood.
It seems that Yanran has been under a lot of pressure during this time.
However, if Xiao Yi Xian is as monstrous as she described, anyone would feel pressured.
Yun Yun suddenly understood Nalan Yanran's current feelings.
Looking at her disciple who used to always be confident, now looking disheartened, Yun Yun couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
Thinking about this, Yun Yun also felt a bit guilty.
During this time, she had been focused on finding the herbs for refining the Emperor's Supreme Pill and had indeed neglected Yanran.
Yun Yun stepped forward, embraced Nalan Yanran, and comforted her softly, "Yanran, don't worry. After I break through with the Emperor's Supreme Pill, I'll help you find various heavenly materials and earthly treasures to elevate your cultivation."
Yun Yun had decided that after finishing the current tasks, she would focus on cultivating her precious disciple.
Upon hearing Yun Yun's reassurance, Nalan Yanran's mood improved a lot.
"Teacher, have you gathered all the herbs for the Emperor's Supreme Pill?" Nalan Yanran asked as she looked up.
Yun Yun nodded, "Yes, I've gathered them all. Tomorrow, we can go find Elder Gu He to refine it."
