173. A chance encounter between master and apprentice
The fact that Nalan Yanran was here was an inside story known only to the higher-ups of the Nalan family, and had nothing to do with the Yunlan Sect. The thought of her teacher seeing her in Xiao Yan's room, completely naked, left Nalan Yanran's mind blank, and she stood there in a daze.
Xiao Yan also felt his scalp tingle. He had long been prepared to talk to Yun Yun, but it should definitely not be in this state. There was still a naked Nalan Yanran in his room!
However, Xiao Yan didn't lose his composure and immediately went to Nalan Yanran's side, saying, "Hurry up and put your clothes on!"
Although Yunyun knocked on the door, she then calmed down and waited quietly at the door.
Xiao Yan currently has no other good options but to endure this awkward situation first. At the very least, it's understandable that Nalan Yanran appeared in his room, but it's completely inexplicable that she appeared naked in his room.
But Nalan Yanran's next answer sent Xiao Yan's soul flying once again.
"I have no clothes left..." Nalan Yanran replied, her originally calm face now flushed with embarrassment.
Xiao Yan glanced around and discovered that Nalan Yanran hadn't even brought her storage ring! And her original clothes had been completely destroyed; she had only been held together by a single strap!
At this moment, Xiao Yan was also cursing those old guys from the Nalan family in his heart. They were obviously trying to prevent Nalan Yanran from leaving his room! They were forcing Nalan Yanran to have something happen with them. Normally, given Nalan Yanran's personality, she could have directly refused, but Nalan Yanran didn't really reject this approach in her heart.
Even now, with Nalan Yanran completely naked, she couldn't attract Xiao Yan's attention in the slightest. After all, if Yun Yun saw this scene, Xiao Yan would be utterly unable to defend himself.
Since Nalan Yanran didn't have any suitable clothes, Xiao Yan could only take out a set of his own clothes from his storage ring and hand them to Nalan Yanran.
Xiao Yan usually tries to keep a low profile, so he carries quite a few black outfits in his storage ring. Nalan Yanran, being a woman, and with the Yunlan Sect's martial arts emphasizing agility, found Xiao Yan's outfits a bit too large for her.
Although Nalan Yanran's wearing of Xiao Yan's clothes lacked the direct, explosive impact of being naked, the clothes, which were noticeably larger than her body, actually made her more alluring. Her figure wasn't completely concealed by the clothes, but rather possessed a more peculiar beauty.
However, Xiao Yan had neither the mood nor the time to appreciate it at this moment. He put Nalan Yanran's clothes into his storage ring and then told Nalan Yanran to hide in the huge wardrobe in the room.
After all, Nalan Yanran was wearing Xiao Yan's clothes, and if Yun Yun saw her, there would be no way to explain it. So at this time, the only thing to do was to let Nalan Yanran hide for the time being.
Although Yun Yun and Xiao Yan are both Dou Huang, Xiao Yan is confident that his powerful soul force will prevent Yun Yun from hiding in the closet where Nalan Yanran is hiding.
"Let's just muddle through first!" Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself.
Then the door was opened, revealing Yun Yun leaning against it. Her moon-white robe fluttered gently in the breeze. Although she had experienced a great battle during the day, Yun Yun was clearly well-prepared; her hair was styled in a phoenix bun, accentuating her beautiful face. She appeared gentle and elegant, a sight to behold even just standing there.
Seeing the door open, Yun Yun's eyes lit up, and she smiled, "Were you cultivating just now?"
Xiao Yan's newly calmed emotions were immediately disrupted again by Yun Yun's question, and he could only give a vague reply.
Yun Yun's gaze skipped over Xiao Yan and looked into his room, saying, "Would it be convenient for me to come in?"
Xiao Yan dared not let Yun Yun enter the room directly, especially since Nalan Yanran was still inside. He could only say, "I was interrupted during my cultivation and don't really want to stay in the room. Let's go for a walk!"
Yun Yun's gaze also held a hint of concern as she asked, "Are you alright?"
Xiao Yan waved his hand: "It's nothing, I was just recovering from today's injuries."
"Then let me check you out inside!" Yun Yun replied seriously.
"It's alright, I'm an alchemist."
Hearing this, Yun Yun blushed slightly and said, "Even alchemists can't be complacent. Your skill level is still a concern."
Yun Yun's words reminded both of the strange things that had happened to them in the Monster Mountain Range.
As she spoke, she forcibly led Xiao Yan into the room. Xiao Yan dared not refuse again, as forcibly taking Yun Yun out might arouse suspicion.
Yun Yun entered Xiao Yan's room, her nose twitching slightly. She suddenly asked Xiao Yan, "Has that girl Yanran been here?"
At this moment, both Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran's hearts suddenly raced, and Xiao Yan subconsciously nodded.
At this point, Yun Yun lowered her head slightly and said softly with apology, "I hope you won't blame her. She's not a bad person at heart. She even blamed me for not stopping her when she caused trouble at the Xiao family."
Yun Yun's words instantly reminded Xiao Yan of something, and he said self-deprecatingly, "I have to thank her for my achievements today, there's nothing to be ashamed of."
Yun Yun's gentle gaze fell on Xiao Yan, and for a moment she didn't know how to comfort the young man in front of her.
"Yaoyan, let me see your injuries. It wouldn't be good if today's series of battles left you with any hidden ailments," Yunyun said gently.
Xiao Yan shook his head and said, "Yao Yan is just an alias, and I really don't have any problems now."
Even though Xiao Yan refused, Yun Yun still came to his side, took his hand, and felt his presence.
Xiao Yan's body was naturally fine; even if it did, Yun Yun wouldn't be able to detect it now. However, Yun Yun patiently examined Xiao Yan. Looking at the beautiful woman before him, a familiar feeling washed over him, causing Xiao Yan to momentarily feel dazed.
It was as if this place wasn't Black Mountain Fortress, but rather the cave in the Monster Mountain Range where he had once spent his ascetic training.
Looking at Yun Yun who was examining him, Xiao Yan subconsciously asked, "Why didn't you tell me your identity back then?"
Yun Yun retorted irritably, "Didn't you also hide your identity? Back then, I didn't want to scare you, so I had to use an alias."
