It was almost noon when Gu Yan finally saw the Wuliang Mountain.

Just as I was about to land, I suddenly frowned and heard some sounds, as if they were coming from deep in the woods, like a woman's soft moans and cries for help.

So they flew along the source.

"No, you old man, if you come any closer I'll go to my parents' house," a girl of about seventeen or eighteen said with difficulty.

Her whole body was pink, and her eyes were very glazed over; it seemed she wouldn't last much longer.

"Hehehe, you sneaked out. Besides, all the sect leaders are discussing matters of the demonic path right now."

"How could I possibly hear you? Hahaha, Miss Murong, just give in to this old man." A very hunched old man said, rubbing his hands together, his smile lewd.

"You, um, waah..." Murong Xuelan shed two lines of clear tears. She should have known better than to sneak down here.

I thought that once I broke through to the Profound Realm, I could roam the martial world, but I met with misfortune before I even graduated.

...

When Gu Yan arrived in the sky, he saw an old man stroking the young girl and lewdly laughing, which made him furious.

"I failed to win a smile from the beauty back then, but I never expected to meet her daughter twenty years later. What a loss, hahaha." The old man chuckled softly, kneading the girl's delicate body through her clothes.

Gu Yan quietly landed behind him, looked at the tree branch beside him, and revealed a strange smile.

"Ahhh, who attacked this old man? Ughhh..." The old man instantly knelt down to the side, his body convulsing and foaming at the mouth.

A tree branch pierced his abdomen, causing him to lose consciousness from the pain...

"Old man, serves you right. Only I can do this kind of thing." After saying that, Gu Yan finished off the old man and collected his soul and flesh.

He picked up the tearful lamb, its beautiful and delicate appearance making his mouth water.

Her delicate face, snow-white neck, skin as smooth as mutton fat jade, slender waist that could be grasped with one hand, and her small, upturned buttocks that had not yet fully developed.

"Waaah, help me," the woman said softly, slightly opening her dazed eyes.

Gu Yan stroked the pink cheek and sighed, "Fine, fine, I'll save you this once. You can come back for me later."

Then they hit her with more than a dozen water balloons to relieve her heat.

He then used the flames to dry her wet clothes, which were indeed a bit too small, even smaller than Xiaomingyue's, and didn't really pique his interest.

Gu Yan leaned against the tree, waiting for her to wake up so she could take him to the flock of fat sheep.

A few minutes later.

The girl suddenly hummed in response, slowly opened her eyes, and abruptly covered her upper body. Only after realizing that her clothes were still on did she breathe a sigh of relief and look at Gu Yan, who was leaning against the tree.

"Xue Lan thanks this young master for saving her. If you ever encounter trouble in the future, the Tianshan Sword Sect can protect you," Murong Xue Lan said, clasping her hands in gratitude to Gu Yan for not taking advantage of her.

"No need, how about you take me to the place where those sects gather?" Gu Yan looked up at the pretty girl and said.

With her bright, sparkling eyes, delicate nose, and slightly pursed pink lips, Gu Yan thought to herself, "If she were dressed as a man, she would definitely be a handsome man."

"Ah, alright, may I ask how this young master is addressed?" Murong Xuelan asked, blushing. This was the first time she had ever met a man who wasn't excited to see her.

"My surname is Gu," Gu Yan said, and then headed towards Wuliang Mountain.

“Young Master Gu, my name is Murong Xuelan,” the girl said, frowning, unable to believe that anyone could ignore her.

"Okay, take me there quickly, I don't know the way," Gu Yan said from ahead.

Murong Xuelan gritted her teeth and led the way. Suddenly, she remembered that the old man seemed to be at the Earth Realm level, so she suppressed her thoughts and asked, "Young Master Gu, did you kill that old man just now?"

"Oh, that old man was so scared when he saw me that he ran away with his legs clamped between his legs," Gu Yan replied casually.

"Oh." Murong Xuelan was a little disappointed. She had thought he would be a tall, handsome, and talented prince charming.

After walking for half an hour, the two finally reached the foot of the mountain.

Gu Yan extended his divine sense directly forward and felt a cool aura that made him feel very comfortable.

Suddenly, he saw a white figure approaching him. With the strength of a Heavenly Realm cultivator, the figure moved very fast and appeared within his divine sense in just a few breaths.

His pupils immediately contracted.

I saw a woman in a white palace dress, around twenty years old, with her hair styled in a married woman's bun. She had fair skin and a beautiful figure, and a slightly anxious expression on her cold and beautiful face.

Gu Yan swallowed hard. He realized that the icy feeling was coming from the woman in palace attire, and she looked very similar to Murong Xuelan.

However, the girls next to him were rather young, at least their physiques were many times worse.

Are they sisters?

However, he quickly dismissed the idea, believing that she must have some secret to maintaining her youthful appearance.

He licked his dry lips. He was determined to get his hands on this stunningly beautiful woman and thoroughly investigate the source of that icy feeling.

"Mother, I'm here!" Murong Xuelan jumped up excitedly upon seeing the white figure.

A moment later, the woman in palace attire landed in front of the two of them. Her expression relaxed, and upon seeing Gu Yan beside her, she immediately grabbed Murong Xuelan and pulled her aside.

She said coldly to Murong Xuelan, "How many times have I told you not to run around like this? You'll disappear without a trace if I don't look for you for a while. What will happen if you run into bad guys with your pathetic skills?"
