Seeing Nalan Yanran stop, Jiang Ping walked in.
Hearing the movement behind her, Nalan Yanran turned around and saw that it was Jiang Ping. A trace of joy flashed in her eyes.
"Jiang Ping, why are you here?"
"I just happened to pass by and heard some noise here, so I came to take a look. Sure enough, it was the Senior Sister here. Training so early, the Senior Sister is really hardworking." Jiang Ping smiled.
Nalan Yanran's eyelashes trembled slightly, she lowered her head slightly to look at the sword in her hand, and said softly: "I have reasons to become stronger, so I can't relax for a moment."
Her reason, of course, was the constraints of the three-year agreement.
"Is it because of the three-year agreement?"
"Yeah." Nalan Yanran nodded slightly.
The three-year agreement was no secret; the entire Yunlan Sect and even the entire imperial capital knew about it.
"I want to prove in my own way that my destiny is in my own hands and not decided by others." There was a determination in her eyes.
One should choose their own path!
"I met that Xiao Yan some time ago," Jiang Ping said.
Nalan Yanran looked up in surprise: "When did it happen?"
"About half a month ago, I fought him once."
"How is his current Cultivation Base?" Nalan Yanran suddenly became a little nervous, afraid to hear a result that she could not accept.
During this time, she also heard that Xiao Yan had gotten rid of the number one position of waste and regained his talent in Dou cultivation.
"It's similar to Senior Sister, but I think Senior Apprentice Sister is definitely better." Jiang Ping said after thinking for a while.
The last time he saw Xiao Yan at the Miteer auction, Xiao Yan was already a 9-Star Dou Master.
And Nalan Yanran is now also a 9-Star Dou Master.
In the original novel, by the end of the three-year agreement, Xiao Yan's strength was slightly higher than Nalan Yanran's.
But now, Xiao Yan has lost the Green Lotus Core Flame, and his strength will definitely be worse than in the original book.
So, in the end, it is not certain who will win or lose between the two.
"It seems that Xiao Yan has indeed recovered his talent... But I won't give up."
Nalan Yanran became more determined in her inner thoughts.
At this moment, someone suddenly ran in hurriedly and said:
"Senior sister Nalan, Senior brother Jiang Ping, the Sect Master is back and wants you to go to the sect hall immediately."
When the two heard this, although they were confused, they still walked quickly towards the sect hall.
...
When they arrived at the sect hall, Jiang Ping saw Yun Yun was already waiting for them there.
"Yanran, Jiang Ping, you are here."
Seeing them arrive, Yun Yun spoke:
"Let me first tell you why I asked you to come here. Just two days ago, my teacher and I discovered a ruin in a mountain range fifty miles away from Mo City in the east of Jia Ma Empire."
"We initially guessed that it was the remains of a magic beast, but it is not open yet, so we have not been able to go in and take a look."
"The remains of a magic beast?" Jiang Ping was stunned.
Relics are usually left behind by humans, and in a remote place like Jia Ma Empire, where there is not even a Dou Ancestor, what good ruins can there be?
"That's right, and the owner of the ruins was probably no stronger than Dou Ancestor when he was alive, so I want you two to go explore it, as a way to gain some experience." Yun Yun finally stated the real purpose.
"Why do we need to go to this ruin..."
Jiang Ping was somewhat reluctant.
What's the point of going to a ruin that may not even be Dou Ancestor?
It would be better to stay and deepen his relationship with Yun Yun.
On the contrary, Nalan Yanran agreed without hesitation.
"Disciple obeys the order!"
"Jiang Ping, do you have any other questions?" Yun Yun looked at Jiang Ping.
"Can I not g..." he asked weakly.
"Can't."
"Then why are you asking me..." Jiang Ping felt a little aggrieved.
Seeing Jiang Ping like this, Yun Yun felt a little proud.
"Also, the birthday of the Great Elder of the Mo Clan in Yan city is in three days. Every year, the Mo Clan pays a large tribute to our Yunlan Sect. This time, you can also send a gift on behalf of the Yunlan Sect." Yun Yun said.
"Yes!"
Just like that, Jiang Ping inexplicably received a mission.
He really didn't want to go, but Yun Yun's attitude was very simple and she insisted that he go.
This made Jiang Ping very depressed.
Finally, Jiang Ping and Nalan Yanran boarded a flying magic beast and flew to Yan city in the east of the empire.
...
Yan city is far away. They received the mission in the morning, and set off after lunch, riding on Yunlan Sect's own flying magic beast.
Although the Yunlan Sect does not have the wealth of the Jia Ma imperial family, it cannot form a complete flying team.
But there are still a few flying magic beasts, and their levels are not low.
This time, Jiang Ping and his companion were riding a third-rank flying magic beast named Mystic bird, which was one of the best in the Yunlan Sect.
It can fly 1,500 miles a day, and only needs to consume 100 kilograms of meat for every 100 miles, which is extremely cost-effective! (I guess it kind of is, since an airplane consumes 12l for each 1 Km…)
The back of the Mystic Bird also has a large space. Like ordinary flying teams, it carries a wooden room for people to rest.
The two of them sat quietly on the back of the Mystic bird.
Two days later, the flying magic beast landed in Yan city.
Yan City, located in the east of the Jia Ma Empire, was a transportation hub between the interior of the empire and the eastern provinces and was of great strategic significance.
The biggest force in Yan city is the Mo Clan.
The Mo Clan occupied nearly 60 percent of Yan city's industries, held the economic lifeline of Yan city, and trampled all other families in the city under their feet, making it a well-deserved local overlord.
The reason why Mo city can have such a status is largely due to the Great Elder Mo Cheng of Mo Clan.
He is not only a Dou Spirit master, but also the outer sect deacon of Yunlan Sect.
With the support of Yunlan Sect, coupled with its own strong strength, the Mo Clan has achieved its current status.
Flying magic beasts were not allowed to fly in the city, so Jiang Ping and the others got off outside Yan City and entered through the city gate.
As soon as he entered Yan city, Jiang Ping found that it was very lively here, bustling with people.
Many of them were dressed in formal attire and brought various gifts. It was obvious that they were not locals, but had come specially to congratulate Mo Cheng.
"This Great Elder of the Mo Clan is really prestigious. Just one birthday makes the whole City so lively." Jiang Ping said with some dissatisfaction.
It was not that he was dissatisfied with the Mo Clan, but that he was dissatisfied with the task itself, so naturally he was not in a good mood.
Nalan Yanran, on the other hand, was very polite and whispered to him, "We are now out and about, representing the Yunlan Sect, so don't show your dissatisfaction."
Jiang Ping curled his lips and said nothing.
Just then, there was a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds coming from the front, and the crowd quickly parted, only to see a rather handsome young man with a few men coming up to the two men.
The young man quickly dismounted and came to Nalan Yanran with a bright smile on his face:
"Junior Sister Yanran, I've been waiting for you for a long time, and finally you're here."
