The Cloud and Mist Pavilion of the Free and Unfettered Sect.
A gentle breeze rustled the leaves.
Jiang Wanwan sat at the stone table in the courtyard, resting her chin on her hand, gazing at the bright moon in the sky, her thoughts drifting away.
"Girl, thinking about Yan boy?"
A voice broke the silence, and Jiang Wanwan came back to her senses. She saw her master, Elder Xia, standing not far behind her with his hands behind his back, looking up at the bright moon in the sky.
Hearing her master's words, Jiang Wanwan's face flushed slightly, and she said reproachfully, "Master, why are you teasing me too!"
Old Xia laughed heartily, walked over and sat down next to Jiang Wanwan, saying, "A talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven..."
Jiang Wanwan pouted and said discontentedly, "Master~"
Old Xia chuckled and continued, "Young Yan is not only handsome, but also gentle and impeccable in his dealings with others. What's even more remarkable is his exceptional talent; he is destined to become a powerful figure in the future."
Jiang Wanwan nodded in agreement.
She had to admit that Yan Ziyan was indeed very outstanding.
Both in appearance and ability, they are truly impressive.
His care and concern for her made her feel incredibly warm.
Thinking of this, a shy blush unconsciously appeared on Jiang Wanwan's face.
She shook her head gently, trying to clear her mind of all distractions, but Yan Ziyan's image remained lingering in her heart.
Yan Ziyan, who had come after Jiang Wanwan, overheard the conversation between the master and apprentice in the courtyard.
He coughed lightly and stepped into the courtyard.
Old Xia looked at him, a smile flashing in his eyes, and deliberately asked, "It's so late, what brings you here to see Wanwan, young man?"
"Master, I want to talk to Wanwan about something alone!" Yan Ziyan said, touching his head and blushing slightly.
Upon hearing this, Elder Xia quickly replied, "Alright! Master will leave immediately, leaving the space to you all."
After saying that, he flashed back into his spatial dimension.
Just as Yan Ziyan was about to say something, Old Xia popped his head out again and said, "Don't worry, don't feel embarrassed. I'm shutting down my five senses right now, so I can't hear anything."
Yan Ziyan…
Jiang Wanwan…
After Elder Xia's figure disappeared again, Yan Ziyan walked to Jiang Wanwan's side, leaned down slightly, and whispered in her ear, "Wanwan, I have something to tell you."
His gaze was gentle yet firm, causing Jiang Wanwan's heart to beat faster involuntarily.
"Okay, go ahead and say it." Jiang Wanwan lowered her head, her small hands nervously clutching the hem of her clothes.
"Wanwan, I love you! I am willing to spend my whole life protecting you, accompanying you, and giving you happiness. I wonder if you would be willing to spend this life with me?" Yan Ziyan gazed at Jiang Wanwan with deep affection, his eyes full of sincerity.
Jiang Wanwan raised her head and met Yan Ziyan's eyes. For a moment, she felt a flutter in her heart. Maybe she could give it a try.
So she blinked her watery eyes and nodded, saying, "Let's give it a try!"
Yan Ziyan smiled, holding Jiang Wanwan's hand tightly as if he possessed the whole world.
After Yan Ziyan expressed his feelings, he and Jiang Wanwan strolled among the clouds on their flying swords, enjoying each other's company immensely. Under the moonlight, their figures intertwined, creating a beautiful picture.
The next day, before dawn, Huang Sicong searched the entire Xiaoyao Sect but could not find Jiang Wanwan and Yan Ziyan.
Things he didn't know.
Jiang Wanwan and Yan Ziyan spent the whole night out, and only returned to the Xiaoyao Sect when the sun rose and sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground.
At this moment, Huang Sicong was anxiously waiting for them. When he saw the two finally return, he immediately went up to them and said, "Sect Leader, you're finally back. I've been looking for you and Uncle Yan all night, but I couldn't find you anywhere."
Jiang Wanwan and Yan Ziyan exchanged a glance, smiled somewhat embarrassedly, and then walked into the main hall of the Xiaoyao Sect.
As soon as she entered the main hall, Jiang Wanwan was startled by the scene before her.
Bai Luo and Ming Chen were standing inside the hall, looking exhausted with bloodshot eyes, clearly having not slept all night.
Jiang Wanwan gave a tactical, light cough to get their attention.
Bai Luo and Ming Chen exchanged a glance and then bowed to Jiang Wanwan.
Jiang Wanwan waved her hand and smiled, "No need for formalities."
After the two men straightened up, she walked to the head of the table and sat down. Then she looked at them and asked softly, "Have you two thought this through?"
Bai Luo glanced at Ming Chen, then stood up and respectfully replied, "Thank you for your advice, Sect Leader Jiang. Ming Chen and I have discussed it and are willing to try the mutually beneficial approach that Sect Leader Jiang mentioned!"
Upon hearing Bai Luo's words, a hint of joy flashed in Jiang Wanwan's eyes.
She knew very well that if she could establish diplomacy and cooperation with higher planes, she could avoid conflict and war to some extent.
This will also give Earth more time to develop its own strength.
After all, one must be strong to succeed; without sufficient strength, everything is just empty talk.
However, at this moment, Bai Luo's expression became somewhat unnatural. He hesitated for a moment before finally speaking, "However, Ming Chen and I have a small request, and we hope that Sect Leader Jiang can agree to it."
Jiang Wanwan looked at Bai Luo curiously and asked in confusion, "Oh? What are your requirements? Tell me."
Bai Luo glanced at Ming Chen beside him, took a deep breath, and then cupped his hands and said, "Our request is... we would like to ask the sect leader for two places as ordinary disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect."
Huang Sicong, who was listening from the side of the main hall, couldn't help but shake his head when he heard Bai Luo's request: "Tsk tsk tsk... I didn't expect that both of them are love-struck!"
Sure enough, Bai Luo then said, "On Ancient Blue Star, we met two virtuous young ladies. They helped us a lot back then, so we thought we could repay them in some way."
Jiang Wanwan was quite surprised to hear this request. However, it wasn't unreasonable, so she nodded in agreement.
Bai Luo and Ming Chen exchanged a glance, secretly delighted.
"That's wonderful! We are extremely grateful!"
"Now that we've decided to cooperate in a mutually beneficial way, and you two have been here for a while, is there anything here that you'd like to see?"
Jiang Wanwan was still scheming in her mind how to take advantage of the situation and maximize her profits.
Then Mingchen said impatiently, "The development of music in your region is something our continent can only dream of. I hope to purchase more musical pieces and instruments to take back to my sect. In addition, I also hope to study on Blue Star for a period of time, at your music academy."
Bai Luo added, "We also need spiritual herbs, rare ores, and your special delicacies. If you are willing to trade, I will persuade your sect to exchange them for precious treasures and cultivation techniques. Of course, if you have other needs, we will do our best to meet them as long as it is within our power."
