'On purpose, this kid must be doing it on purpose, right? He's just trying to irritate me, how hateful!!!' Nalan Yanran looked at Xiao Yan's serious face, but seeing the mischievous glint in his eyes, she was so angry she almost blasted him with a Wind Extreme: Falling Meteor Kill!
However, she helplessly realized that she couldn't beat Xiao Yan at all.
"Hmph!" Nalan Yanran glared fiercely at Xiao Yan, then turned and ran to Yun Yun to act spoiled. Yun Yun had said earlier that she would deal with her after they returned, so she had to properly soothe her teacher's temper.
However, what Nalan Yanran was most curious about right now wasn't how Xiao Yan had become a Three-Star Dou Ling, but rather when her teacher had become Xiao Yan's sister-in-law.
Women, regardless of age, are gossips by nature.
"Teacher..."
...The people of the Mo Family died a miserable death. Not a single person on the scene with the surname Mo or related to the Mo Family was left alive, even the Cloud Mist Sect Inner Sect Disciple Mo Li met the same fate.
Regarding this, Ge Ye and Nalan Yanran could only express regret. After all, the Sect Master (Teacher) had spoken; how could these people possibly survive?
After everyone in the Mo Family was eliminated, Xiao Yan happily went to seize their assets. After all, it was a Family with a Dou Ling expert, so their Family assets were naturally not small.
By this time, Nalan Yanran also knew who her teacher's man was. It was the man who had sat in the chair from beginning to end, watching everything with a calm expression—the same Alchemist who had sat in the Xiao Family's main hall in Wutan City back then.
Who would have thought that after two and a half years, he would have actually won over her teacher? This was simply... second only to Xiao Yan winning over her teacher!
Inside the Mo Family hall, Chen Yang cleared the scene with a wave of his hand and then looked at Yun Yun: "Yun'er, of the resources the Mo Family has supplied to the Cloud Mist Sect over the years, how many are tainted? Even if Deacon Ge Ye doesn't know, he should know who does, right?"
Chen Yang's first move and first words immediately startled Ge Ye.
Chen Yang had cleared the entire hall with a casual wave of his hand without any Dou Qi fluctuations. Just what was his strength? And the following sentence made Ge Ye's back turn even colder because he really did know who knew.
"Mm." Yun Yun nodded, then sat in Mo Cheng's former seat, looked at Ge Ye, and said slowly, "Speak, Deacon Ge Ye. Do you know, or do you know who knows?"
Facing Yun Yun's interrogation, Ge Ye hesitated for a few seconds before saying tremulously: "It's... it's the Grand Elder!"
Yun Yun immediately snorted coldly: "Yun Ling has truly regressed as he's aged. Since when has the Cloud Mist Sect been short of this little bit of money? Could it be that you and Yun Ling have embezzled all of it?"
At the end, Yun Yun slammed the table fiercely!
Thud! Ge Ye immediately knelt on the ground and began to kowtow repeatedly. "Sect Master, please be discerning! It was the Grand Elder who forced me to do it. He told me that if I didn't take it, how could he take his share? I was truly terrified of the Grand Elder, Sect Master!"
"Hmph!" Yun Yun was instantly fuming. She wished she could kill Ge Ye with one sword strike, but to deal with Yun Ling, she had to keep Ge Ye alive for now. "I'll spare your dog life for now. After returning to the Sect, you will stand and testify against Yun Ling to atone for your crimes, understood?"
"Understood, understood! This Disciple obeys the Sect Master's decree!" Ge Ye was overjoyed to hear he could live. He hated Yun Ling to death now. You, the dignified Grand Elder of the Cloud Mist Sect, a Peak Dou Wang expert—what's the point of embezzling that little bit of money?
On the side, Chen Yang listened with amazement. This Yun Ling was rotten to the core in the original story, but he was also quite a character. If Yun Yun hadn't said Yun Ling was still a Peak Dou Wang, he would have almost thought Yun Ling was a fellow transmigrator.
After about twenty-five minutes, Xiao Yan came back trotting happily. Seeing the five extra storage rings on Xiao Yan's hands, Chen Yang knew the kid had returned with a full load.
"Xiao Yan, I congratulate you on your fortune!" Looking at Xiao Yan, Chen Yang said with a smile.
Xiao Yan's face immediately darkened upon hearing this. He suddenly felt like he was Li Yunlong and Chen Yang was the Brigade Commander. Moreover, both of them were named Chen; their way of 'robbing' was exactly the same.
"What fortune? I'm so poor I'm about to pawn my pants!" Xiao Yan hurriedly stuffed the five storage rings into his chest, then thought about it and pulled one out, tossing it to Chen Yang.
"Brother Yang, I know you don't care for gold and silver. These things of mine are just being kept for you temporarily, so let me enjoy them for a bit first. This storage ring contains some high-grade medicinal herbs; Teacher said you might find them useful!" Xiao Yan said as he threw the storage ring containing the herbs to Chen Yang.
"Hahaha..." Chen Yang burst out laughing when he heard Xiao Yan say he was keeping them for him.
"Mo Cheng and the others' bodies are also outside. Go pluck the storage rings off them yourself. Take what you need, and just leave what I can use for me!" Chen Yang hadn't taken the storage rings from Mo Cheng and the others; he had originally intended to leave them for Xiao Yan.
Although Yun Yun killed Mo Cheng, technically the two of them were just there to support Xiao Yan. The one who really did the work was little friend Xiao Yan!
