Chapter 1445: Chapter 1441: Falling Out and Breaking Ties
Yun Ying thoroughly enjoyed her time with Chen Nan, especially when he recounted stories from the outside world, making her heart yearn tremendously.
Qiao Que put away the elixir pills and coldly glanced at Chen Nan, "Chen Nan, there are some words you know, speaking them is bad for everyone, understand?"
"Disciple understands." Chen Nan responded with his head down.
Yun Ying widened her eyes with curiosity and asked, "Uncle Qiao, what words should not be spoken?"
"It’s nothing, just letting Chen Nan know some rules." Qiao Que laughed.
"I think my junior brother is great. Since joining Moon River Valley, many people have praised him, saying his medical skill is superb and he’s an alchemist. Maybe, in the future, all the sect’s elixirs will need to be refined by him."
When Yun Ying said this, her expression was very proud, after all, it was she who brought Chen Nan into the sect.
"Ha ha, then Little Yun Ying has indeed done a great job. The whole sect must thank you later." Qiao Que laughed.
Yun Ying puffed out her chest, unable to suppress a grin, "Oh, this is what I should do."
"Alright, Uncle, I’ll visit you another time."
With that, she pulled Chen Nan along to leave, but unexpectedly, after just a couple of steps, a cultivator approached them, holding a treasure sword, with long hair draped over his shoulders, sharp eyebrows, and bright eyes.
However, the moment Chen Nan saw this person, he felt a few shadows lingering in those eyes.
"Senior brother!" As soon as Yun Ying saw the newcomer, she waved and called out instantly.
"Junior sister, what are you doing here? Being lazy again?"
"Not at all. I just came out for a little break. I’ve been diligently cultivating all this time!" Yun Ying argued, then pointed at Chen Nan, "Oh right, senior brother, this is my junior brother Chen Nan."
"Chen Nan, this is my senior brother Lin Qingfeng, and I also have a second senior sister Jiang Caixian. We three are all our master’s direct disciples."
Chen Nan cupped his hands towards Lin Qingfeng, "Greetings, senior brother."
"Hmph, I’ve heard of you. Not only are you skilled in medical techniques, but you also practice alchemy, is that right?" Lin Qingfeng’s tone was somewhat mocking.
Chen Nan remained composed, replying slowly, "I have dabbled in a variety of areas."
"Knowing more isn’t a bad thing, but only clever people can live longer and better, don’t you think?" Lin Qingfeng’s lips curved into a dangerous arc, half-smiling yet not.
Chen Nan obviously understood what Lin Qingfeng was hinting at. It seemed like they all harbored intentions towards Yun Ying; Moon River Valley was simply a den of wolves!
"Senior brother is right, junior brother wants to be a clever person." Chen Nan responded.
"Hmm, very good." Lin Qingfeng nodded and affectionately patted Yun Ying on the head before leaving.
Yun Ying rubbed her head, tilted aside, and asked, "Why do I feel like Uncle and senior brother both seem strange? Junior brother, what is a clever person?"
"Senior sister is a clever person." Chen Nan smiled, for he sensed several divine senses locking onto him.
He knew that if he told Yun Ying anything useful, these people would immediately pounce on him to silence him.
So, he and Yun Ying slowly returned to the pill room, and just halfway back, Chen Nan suddenly noticed the divine sense on him had vanished.
Perhaps they were reassured about him, knowing that time was rare, Chen Nan hurriedly took hold of Yun Ying.
"Junior brother, what’s wrong?" Yun Ying asked with curiosity.
"Yun Ying, what I say next is serious. Your realm is floating and your foundation is unstable because the elixir pills Zhang Sen refined are Burning Vein Breaking Realm Pills. You must stop consuming them."
"Your master, your uncle, your senior uncle, and your senior brother all bear ill-will towards you. If you get the chance, you must escape!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Ying’s expression suddenly changed, she unexpectedly pushed Chen Nan away.
"Chen Nan, I saved you and brought you to Moon River Valley. Why are you repaying kindness with enmity, slandering my master? They are my family. How could they harm me?"
"What about you, what is your true purpose?"
Chen Nan felt deeply wounded, "You don’t trust me?"
"How can I trust you? You say my master harbors ill intentions, but I was raised by my master, and everyone in the sect treats me well. Can’t you see?" Yun Ying’s tone became more urgent.
Chen Nan sighed deeply. He had thought revealing the truth to Yun Ying would awaken her, but he overlooked her feelings for Moon River Valley; after all, she had grown up there.
In comparison, he was merely someone she hadn’t known for long.
"Chen Nan, I really misjudged you. From now on, don’t call me senior sister anymore, I don’t have a junior brother like you. Let’s just pretend we don’t know each other!"
With that, Yun Ying stormed off in anger.
Chen Nan wanted to chase after her but hesitated, unsure of what to say even if he caught up. Should he forcibly take Yun Ying away?
His powers hadn’t fully recovered, he feared he wouldn’t get far before being captured again.
"No, I must quickly regain my strength!"
Chen Nan quickly returned to the pill room, stood at the door, and said, "Elder, this disciple is feeling unwell and wants to rest for a few days. May I have your permission?"
Zhang Sen’s voice came from inside the pill room, "Go, you must have brought bad luck into the pill room. Staying away may be better!"
Chen Nan left the pill room, found a secluded spot, concentrated on his heart, and disappeared from the original place, emerging inside the Immortal Hall space, diving into the Time Domain.
Even though it required expending a large amount of spirit stones, he couldn’t care anymore. He had a premonition that these people would soon make a move on Yun Ying, and he couldn’t sit back and do nothing!
Meanwhile, Yun Ying returned to her residence, and after calming down, her heart was filled with a trace of guilt.
