Chapter 575 Taking Yun Yun Away

In response to Xiao Ling's question, Yun Yun pursed her lips slightly, and a look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on her face.

Then, as if she had made up her mind, she slowly said, "Master Xiao Ling, I do want to develop in Zhongzhou, but as the leader of Yunlan Sect, it is not easy for me to get out."

Yun Yun frowned slightly, her eyes full of helplessness, and continued: "I have to take charge of many affairs of the sect, how can I bear to just leave it alone? This has already made it very difficult for me."

After hearing Yun Yun's explanation, Xiao Ling couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly. Indeed, as the leader of the Yunlan Sect, Yun Yun shouldered many responsibilities that a leader should fulfill, and was indeed somewhat constrained in this regard.

Xiao Ling thought to himself that if he and Yun Yun were in the same situation, he would definitely not restrict his steps just because of the sect.

In Xiao Ling's opinion, among all the affairs in this world, except for those concerning the people closest to him, most of the other things are not as important as self-interest.

After all, people must first live for themselves. If they are always fettered by various external responsibilities and the wishes of others, how can they pursue what they really want?
However, everyone has different thoughts and situations. Yun Yun must be in such a difficult situation because she must have many unspeakable difficulties.

After a brief pause, Yun Yun's expression became more and more conflicted, as if there were a thousand unspeakable secrets in what she was going to say next.

Before Xiao Ling could say anything, she continued, "However, this is only a secondary reason."

At this point, Yun Yun's face became more embarrassed. She bit her lip and hesitated for a moment before continuing:
"The most important thing is my master's intention. My master wants me to stay in Yunlan Sect and hopes that I can marry Gu He, the guest elder of our Yunlan Sect. He wants to use this method to completely bind Gu He to Yunlan Sect. I... I am really in a dilemma now and don't know what to do..."

As she said this, Yun Yun's brows were tightly furrowed, her eyes filled with a complex expression of distress and helplessness, and her hands were subconsciously tugging at the corners of her clothes. Her embarrassment seemed particularly real, and one could see at a glance the entanglement and struggle in her heart at the moment.

When Yun Yun finished speaking, not only did Xiao Ling's expression pause slightly, but even Yao Chen and Zi Yan, who originally did not care much about what Yun Yun said, immediately stopped what they were doing and cast their slightly surprised eyes in the direction of Yun Yun.

Xiao Ling was also a little surprised at this time. After all, this was the first time he heard such news.

As the leader of the Yunlan Sect and a Dou Zong expert, Yun Yun is a well-known figure in the Jia Ma Empire and even the entire Northwest Continent.

But now, because of the sect, she was forced to commit herself to a person she did not like. No matter who it happened to, it was not a glorious thing.

And Yun Yun could actually say such a thing without reservation, which obviously showed that she had completely let it go in her heart.

However, after Xiao Ling thought about it for a while, he suddenly understood a lot. After all, the current situation in the Jia Ma Empire was turbulent, and it had a completely different development trend from the past.

In the original timeline, Yun Yun had already been asked by Yun Shan to marry Gu He. But now, with Dou Zong masters appearing one after another in the Jia Ma Empire, the situation of the Yun Lan Sect is no longer as powerful as before in the empire, so naturally it is even more necessary to win over Gu He.

Although in Xiao Ling's eyes, Gu He was not even qualified to carry his shoes, but considering Gu He's identity as a sixth-rank alchemist, he was considered to have profound attainments in alchemy in the Jia Ma Empire.

If the Yunlan Sect can get Gu He's full support, it will definitely have more say in the Jia Ma Empire, which will undoubtedly be of great help to the development of the sect.

That's why Yunshan is so eager to promote the marriage between Yunyun and Gu He. This also shows the pressure Yunyun is facing.

"From what I see, asking me to take you to Zhongzhou is probably not your main purpose, right? The main reason you came to me this time and wanted me to take you to Zhongzhou is probably to use my fame to get rid of the constraints imposed on you by your master. Am I right?"

Under Yun Yun's anxious gaze, Xiao Ling took a sip of tea and spoke in a leisurely tone.

His voice was exceptionally calm, so calm that no emotion could be heard, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking. This made Yun Yun even more nervous.

Yun Yun's thoughts were exposed by Xiao Ling's words, and the calm expression she had been maintaining on her face suddenly became unsustainable.

She bit her lip, her expression full of embarrassment and awkwardness, and her eyes dodged a few times.

But soon, she mustered up the courage to look at Xiao Ling, and said in an increasingly polite and sincere tone: "Master Xiao Ling, you really saw through my thoughts at a glance."

"However, I really have no other choice now, so I shamelessly come to ask for your help again. As long as you can lend a hand to me this time, I, Yun Yun, will do my best to repay your kindness. Don't worry, I, Yun Yun, always keep my promises and never lie."

As she spoke, Yun Yun unconsciously clasped her hands together, her fingers turning slightly white from the force.

She leaned forward slightly, and anyone who saw her anxious and earnest look could feel her inner desire and helplessness at the moment, as if Xiao Ling's response determined her future fate.

Faced with Yun Yun's request again, Xiao Ling didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Although this matter was not too troublesome for him and he could help by just taking action, it was of no benefit to him after all.

Xiao Ling is not the type of person who likes to meddle in other people's affairs. Normally, he would not easily interfere unless it concerns people close to him or something he could gain from it.

Unable to make up his mind, Xiao Ling subconsciously cast his gaze towards Yao Chen, who was standing beside him leisurely and seemed to be watching the fun.

Yao Chen noticed Xiao Ling's gaze and instantly understood what he was thinking, knowing that Xiao Ling wanted to hear his opinion.

Yao Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, and then used his soul power to quietly transmit a message. The words he transmitted were casual and open-minded:

"Look at this girl Yun Yun, she has begged you so earnestly, and it is not a difficult matter for you to take her with you. She was able to cultivate to the Dou Zong realm in this Northwest Continent, so her talent and ability should not be underestimated."

"Besides, didn't Hai Bodong ask you to take the girl named Ya Fei from his family to Zhongzhou? Now that Yun Yun has this idea, you might as well do them a favor and take them both with you." "Anyway, we have to take people with us. Taking one is fine, and taking two is just a matter of convenience. Just let them go together on this trip."

After hearing this, Xiao Ling nodded involuntarily, obviously feeling that what Yao Lao said did make some sense.

Speaking of taking Yafei to Zhongzhou, it was something Haibodong mentioned casually when he and Xiao Ling were reminiscing about the past. Haibodong didn't have high expectations at the time, he just said it with the idea of ​​giving it a try.

As for Xiao Ling, considering that Ya Fei, Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin got along well with each other in the past, and that Ya Fei had good management skills, if she was brought along, she might be able to help with many matters in the future, so he agreed to the task.

Now that Yao Chen mentioned this, Xiao Ling felt that there was nothing wrong with taking Yun Yun along.

However, before Xiao Ling could come back to his senses from his thoughts, Yao Chen suddenly showed a slightly evil smile on his face and used soul transmission to target Xiao Ling again.

However, there were clearly some different meanings in the tone of the voice this time.

"Besides, think about it, Yun Yun is a rare and stunning beauty. You, boy, have owed a lot of debts of love over the years. How can I not understand your character? Do you really want to watch such a stunning beauty being betrothed to someone else so unwillingly? Are you willing to let this happen?"

There seemed to be a hint of teasing and instigation in those words, which made Xiao Ling startled slightly, and some different thoughts arose in his mind.

Yao Chen's words touched Xiao Ling's heart directly, causing his originally calm and unconcerned emotions to suddenly surge with complex feelings.

Xiao Ling is not a generous person and is quite selfish at heart.

He had not had much contact with Yun Yun before, and Yun Yun could neither provide any help to him nor had any value to be cultivated, so he did not think much about it.

But judging from Yun Yun's appearance alone, she is indeed outstanding in appearance. In addition, Xiao Ling already has a good impression of her because of the filter of the original novel.

If Yun Yun were to be possessed by someone other than himself, it would be impossible for Xiao Ling to say that he would not feel unhappy.

Even if he doesn't fight for it himself, he will feel uncomfortable when he thinks about others getting what they want, and there will inevitably be some unhappy emotions mixed in.

As soon as he thought of this, Xiao Ling's originally hesitant thoughts instantly became firm.

I must take Yun Yun with me. Regardless of anything else, even if I just keep her by my side to dazzle my eyes, it would be better than letting that waste Gu He ruin her.

"Since you've asked me so sincerely, I naturally can't just stand by and watch, so I'll help you with reluctance."

Xiao Ling raised his eyes slightly, separated his gaze from Yao Chen, and looked back at Yun Yun, and said slowly,
"I'm quite against this kind of forced arranged marriage. Now that I've encountered your situation, I naturally don't mind helping you."

When Yun Yun heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. Her heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down and her face was full of gratitude.

Almost subconsciously, Yun Yun quickly stood up from her chair again and bowed deeply to Xiao Ling, her tone full of gratitude and sincerity:
"Thank you Master Xiao Ling for your help, which has allowed me to get rid of this heavy bondage. I will never forget your kindness today. If there is any place where I can use Yun Yun in the future, I will do my best and go through fire and water without hesitation."

After saying this, Yun Yun still maintained the posture of bowing to express her gratitude and loyalty. From her look, anyone could see that she was grateful from the bottom of her heart.

Seeing Yun Yun so terrified, Xiao Ling couldn't help but laugh and cry. He quickly urged his fighting spirit again, gently helped Yun Yun up, let her sit back in her seat, and then waved his hand and said:

"Okay, okay, you don't have to be like this. I already know what you mean. If I really need your help in the future, I will naturally not be polite to you. But with your current level of cultivation, I'm afraid it will take some time for you to help me. Of course, if you practice diligently and constantly improve yourself, maybe there will be a day in the future when you can really help me."

Xiao Ling spoke quite bluntly, but there was no impatience in his words. He just made a slight teasing remark.

When Yun Yun heard what Xiao Ling said, her fair face instantly turned lightly red, like peach blossoms quietly blooming in spring, shy and charming.

In fact, what she had been thinking in her mind before was not at all what Xiao Ling mentioned.

When she came to find Xiao Ling, she had already made the worst plan. Even if she had to give up everything, she would try her best to get Xiao Ling's help. After all, that was related to whether she could break free from the shackles and find the road to freedom again.

However, at this moment, seeing Xiao Ling's frank and sincere look, as if he was only trying to help, and he didn't seem to have any other extra thoughts, Yun Yun subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and her tense nerves also relaxed a little.

However, at the same time as she felt relieved, she inexplicably felt a sense of loss in her heart, as if the secret expectation hidden deep in her heart had shattered and dissipated like bubbles.

This complex and subtle emotion lingered in her heart, making Yun Yun a little stunned for a moment. She pursed her lips and didn't know how to speak. She just sat there quietly, and blurted out the words without thinking too much:

"Then...then I will work harder in my cultivation and strive to be able to help Master Xiao Ling as soon as possible."

Xiao Ling just chuckled and shook his head, his eyes showing a bit of helplessness and gentleness, and then slowly said: "Okay, let's leave it at that for now. You go back to Yunlan Sect first, and I will notify you when I am ready to return to Zhongzhou. You can also make some preparations in advance and communicate with your master."

Hearing this, Yun Yun hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, Master Xiao Ling, then Yun Yun will return to the sect and wait for your news. Everything is up to you to arrange."

After she finished speaking, she bowed respectfully again, then turned around, walked slowly out the door with lotus steps, but her back revealed a hint of expectation and longing that was difficult to conceal...
