Chapter 566: Yun Yun's Little Thoughts, Yao Chen and Xiao Diao Arrive

As soon as Yun Leng finished speaking, Yun Shan's expression froze for a moment, and then he slowly spoke:

"I've heard before that the relationship between the Snake Tribe's Queen Medusa and Master Xiao Ling is very special. I thought it was just some groundless rumors, but I never thought that the news is not groundless. Now the two have developed to this point and are about to get married..."

When Yun Yun heard this, she couldn't help but look thoughtful, and her mind couldn't help but think of the banquet held at the Xiao family a few days ago.

The banquet was lively and everyone was chatting happily, but no one expected that Xiao Ling would leave so suddenly. He didn't even say hello and disappeared from everyone's sight without any warning.

Recalling that scene at this moment, Yun Yun wondered in her heart, could it be that Xiao Ling's hasty departure at that time was related to the matter of Queen Medusa?

After all, now that he had received the news, the two were going to get married, and they must have a deep relationship. Perhaps there was some emergency involving Queen Medusa at that time, which was why he didn't even care about basic etiquette and left in a hurry.

A hint of realization flashed across Yun Yun's eyes, but then they dimmed slightly, and she sighed inwardly.

Xiao Ling and Queen Medusa have such a deep friendship that they are willing to do anything for each other, but she cannot even make decisions on matters of the heart and can only be forced to obey her master's arrangements and marry Gu He, with whom she has no emotional foundation. When she thinks of this, her heart is filled with bitterness and helplessness.

She bit her lip slightly, trying to suppress all these thoughts, but those complicated emotions were like silk threads, becoming more and more tangled in her heart, and she couldn't sort them out.

While Yun Yun was pondering in her heart, the conversation between Yun Shan and Yun Leng was coming to an end.

Yunshan couldn't help but sigh slightly, with a complicated look in his eyes, and slowly said:

"In recent years, the power of the Snake People has been growing rapidly, and has achieved considerable development. And now, Queen Medusa is going to marry Master Xiao Ling. The future prospects of the Snake People are unimaginable. Such good luck is really enviable."

As he said this, Yunshan felt a pang of regret in his heart again. He couldn't help but sigh softly and slowly turned his gaze to Yun Yun, who was standing silently beside him without saying a word.

He thought to himself that it was a pity that his disciple did not have much interaction with Master Xiao Ling at the beginning, and they were not able to establish any deep relationship.

Otherwise, with the Snake People now experiencing such a thriving and promising situation, how could it not be the current situation of the Yunlan Sect?
If Yun Yun could have some connection with Master Xiao Ling, or even develop a closer relationship, with the influence and strength of Master Xiao Ling, the status of Yunlan Sect in the Jia Ma Empire would surely be steadily improved, and he would not have to be so cruel as to let his own disciple marry Gu He in order to seek Yunlan Sect to continue to occupy a place in the Jia Ma Empire, where the situation has changed drastically.

Although Yun Yun lowered her head slightly at this moment and did not meet Yun Shan's gaze, she could clearly sense the regretful look that Yun Shan gave her.

And based on her many years of understanding of her master, she immediately understood what her master was thinking.

She first felt that her master was too focused on profit, and for the sake of the development of the Yunlan Sect, he did not care about her own feelings at all.

But in the midst of helplessness and bitterness, other thoughts quietly emerged in her mind.

She secretly thought that if she could have developed a deeper relationship with Xiao Ling at the beginning, perhaps the current situation would be completely different.

Perhaps my master would not have forced me to marry Gu He, and I would not have to be like this now, full of reluctance but unable to resist, and could only passively accept this cold arrangement.

Yunshan frowned slightly, and gradually came back to his senses from his complicated thoughts. He looked at Yunyun again and said slowly, "Since Master Xiao Ling is going to hold his wedding soon, our Yunlan Sect should stagger the wedding date to avoid suspicion. Yun'er, in this case, the wedding that I have arranged for you and Gu He will have to be postponed for a while."

After that, he sighed softly, with a look of unquestionableness in his eyes, and continued: "During this period of time, you can get in touch with Gu He more and get to know each other better. Although this marriage was decided by the master for the sake of the sect, feelings can be cultivated slowly. Gu He is quite accomplished in alchemy and is a Douhuang strongman. In the future, he will work with you and will definitely bring a lot of help to Yunlan Sect. You should try to discover his good points and don't always resist him."

At this moment, Yun Yun listened to Yun Shan's words, her face was still as calm as water, and there seemed to be no ripples in her heart. Her expression was like a deep and bottomless lake, so calm that it was impossible to tell any emotion from her.

She seemed to have already tacitly agreed to Yunshan's arrangement. She just bowed slightly and replied in a calm and indifferent tone: "Master, I understand."

Yunshan naturally noticed the indifferent and somewhat lonely mood change of Yun Yun at this moment. Although he felt a little confused, he thought that Yun Yun had always been sensible and should have figured it out by now, so he didn't care too much.

Yunshan thought that Yun Yun had completely accepted his arrangement, so he nodded slightly and said in a steady tone: "In that case, I will not stay here any longer. I will go to practice in seclusion. If there is anything in the sect, please come back and tell me."

After saying that, Yunshan waved his sleeves lightly, and his fighting spirit surged all over his body. His figure instantly turned into several afterimages. After a few quick moves, he disappeared like a gust of wind and had already left the hall.

After Yunshan left, the hall became even more empty and quiet. Only Yunyun and Yunling were left standing opposite each other. For a moment, the atmosphere became even more awkward and depressing.

Yun Leng looked at the lonely and cold Yun Yun in front of him, and the scene when he came to the hall before suddenly emerged in his mind.

At that time, I happened to hear a disciple report that Gu He came to visit Yun Yun again.

At this moment, he hesitated again and again, but still took a step forward, bowed to Yun Yun, and said respectfully: "Master, Elder Gu He happened to come to visit today. I wonder if you have any arrangements for this?"

When Yun Yun heard this, her expression remained as indifferent as water.

She raised her eyes slightly, her tone was calm but distant, and she responded slowly: "I need to concentrate on my cultivation today, and I really can't spare the time to meet guests. Elder Yun Leng, I'll trouble you to help me avoid it."

After saying this, Yun Yun did not give Yun Leng any time to react. Her fighting spirit quietly surged around her, lingering around her like a wisp of light smoke.

Immediately afterwards, his figure instantly turned into a dazzling stream of light, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, leaving Yun Leng alone, standing blankly in this empty and slightly deserted hall.

…Deep in the Warcraft Mountains, a solitary peak stood majestically, piercing the sky, as if it was going to poke a hole in the sky.

The surroundings were empty, with nothing blocking the view. The strong wind blew past, bringing with it bursts of sharp whistling sounds.

Looking down from the peak, one can see endless vastness and depth. The continuous mountain ranges are like crawling beasts, looming in the clouds and mist.

In an open space on the solitary peak, Xiao Ling sat upright with a furnace of pills placed in front of him.

The flames under the furnace were burning fiercely, and the hot air was surging, causing the surrounding air to distort.

Xiao Ling's face was calm, and his hands kept making complicated hand seals. As the hand seals changed, it seemed that strands of soul power were injected into the alchemy furnace through his fingertips. The patterns on the alchemy furnace also flickered, as if responding to Xiao Ling's control.

Waves of medicinal fragrance wafted out from the cracks of the alchemy furnace. At first, it was only faint, but as Xiao Ling's hand seals changed more frequently, the fragrance became stronger and stronger, lingering above this solitary peak, adding a different kind of charm to this originally desolate and cold place.

Xiao Ling's eyes were always fixed on the alchemy furnace with a focused expression. At this moment, his entire mind was immersed in the process of refining the alchemy, and he only hoped to successfully refine the highest quality Heavenly Soul Melting Blood Pill.

At the same time, in the core area of ​​the Snake People’s territory, two men were walking side by side slowly towards the direction of the hall.

The man walking on the left had white hair spread out like frost and snow, casually falling on his shoulders. He was wrapped in a white robe, which made his figure look tall and slender.

His face was angular, like a finely carved jade, yet with a hint of gentleness that made people feel close to him when they saw him.

The other person next to him also had long snow-white hair, but it was carefully tied into a high ponytail, standing high behind her. As she walked, the ponytail swayed gently, giving her a lively beauty.

This man was dressed in a purple suit, which showed off his slender figure. There was always a faint smile on his face. His narrow eyes were deep and bright, revealing a unique kind of heroism and handsomeness. There was a hint of weirdness and evil charm in his every move.

When a dozen snake-men guards who were diligently guarding the gate of Medusa Temple saw the two figures walking steadily towards the gate of the temple, one of the guards immediately twisted his snake tail and quickly stepped forward a few steps. The swinging of the snake's tail created a slight sound of wind, and in the blink of an eye, he blocked the way of the two people.

The guard had a serious face, his eyes showed undisguised vigilance, and said:
"The Medusa Temple of the Snake Tribe prohibits entry of outsiders. If you two are visiting the Snake Tribe, please go somewhere else to enjoy the scenery. Do not stay here to avoid unnecessary trouble."

In recent years, the relationship between the snake people and humans has developed quite harmoniously. The previous estrangement and suspicion are gradually fading away with the continuous exchanges between the two sides.

Because of this, more and more humans have developed a strong interest in the mysterious snake people, and humans often come to the snake people for sightseeing.

This has become a considerable source of income for the Snake People, and many businesses within the tribe have gradually flourished around these tourists.

Therefore, when the guard in charge of guarding the Medusa Temple saw the two humans walking towards the temple, he subconsciously thought that they were just tourists who came to visit. He did not know that outsiders were strictly prohibited from entering the Medusa Temple, so he hurried forward to stop them.

After the two men were stopped by the snake-people guards, they were not angry but stopped calmly.

The man on the left, who was wearing a white robe and had a gentle face, chuckled first, and then he spoke in a calm tone:
"Please don't misunderstand us. We are not ordinary tourists who come here for sightseeing, let alone random people. We are here for important matters. Please don't stop us."

The man on the right, wearing a purple suit and a high ponytail, just crossed his arms with an impatient look on his face, glancing around casually, as if he didn't care about being stopped.

But as he was casually glancing around, he seemed to suddenly realize something, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he suddenly looked towards the direction of the temple gate.

After hearing the man's words, the guard thought they were deliberately causing trouble. His face darkened and he immediately raised his voice and shouted, "Since you insist on violating the rules of the snake people, don't blame me for being rude!"

As he spoke, fighting spirit surged throughout his body, and he was ready to capture the two men.

But just as he was about to take action, a uniform voice suddenly came from behind him: "Lady Zi Yan!"

The voice was loud and full of respect, which instantly broke the tense atmosphere. The guard who was ready to go suddenly paused, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he subconsciously turned his head to look behind him.

The snakemen guards who were originally on duty at the entrance of the snakemen temple all lowered their heads in unison, their expressions full of respect, and bowed deeply in the direction of the temple gate, their gestures showing their respect.

At the same time, a girl in purple slowly walked out from the gate of the temple.

She moved lightly and gracefully, her eyes already looking in the direction of the two men, and a look of disbelief instantly appeared on her face, which had originally been a little puzzled.

"A Diao, Old Man Yao, why are you here?" Zi Yan's gaze passed over the guard and went straight in the direction of Yao Chen and Xiao Diao, and she couldn't help but blurt out.

She had only vaguely sensed a familiar breath before, and out of curiosity, she hurried over to investigate. She thought it might just be her illusion, but she didn't expect that it was actually the two of them.

The guard who was originally ready to attack, when he heard the Queen's friend address the two people and saw her familiar attitude, immediately realized that he might have caused a misunderstanding, and stepped aside awkwardly.

"Little Zi Yan, long time no see. Why can't I come over?" Yao Chen had a gentle smile on his face and waved gently at Zi Yan.

"Really? Xiao Ling is getting married so suddenly. It's so sudden that I have to rush over here." Xiao Diao said as he pouted slightly, but he also showed a smile on his face that he couldn't hide. (End of this chapter)
