. A long cyan dress enveloped her graceful figure. Her long black hair, combed into a gorgeous bun, accentuated her elegance.
Yun Yun, clad in her opulent sect leader attire, was breathtakingly beautiful, captivating Mo Tang's immediate attention.
Of course, at that moment, he dared not gaze directly at the beautiful sect leader, lest the nearby Yunlan Sect Inner Sect Elders tear him apart.
However, compared to Mo Tang's relaxed demeanor, Yun Yun was completely bewildered...
her beautiful eyes fixed on Mo Tang's slightly lowered face, a dazed expression on her face.
"Ahem, sect leader..."
Finally, Great Elder Yun Leng couldn't help himself and coughed softly, prompting the sect leader to restrain himself.
Even if you truly have a crush on this young man, you should still consider the occasion.
Moreover, Great Elder Yun Ling, who had practically watched Yun Yun grow up, was also deeply curious.
While Mo Tang looked impressive, he wasn't exactly handsome. Why did their own clan leader, who had always been indifferent to men, treat him differently?
Could it be that he just happened to suit the clan leader's taste?
It seemed the clan leader had truly matured and wanted to start a family...
Yun Yun naturally didn't know what the Great Elder was thinking, or else she would have been furious.
But after hearing the hint, she realized her own gaffe and immediately regained her composure. She addressed Mo Tang, who bowed below
, with a slight emphasis on the word "Mo Tang," which nearly made the bowing Mo Tang laugh.
It seemed the other party was quite displeased with her concealing her real name.
But then, didn't you use a pseudonym yourself? So, truly, the two were even, and it was settled!
However, Mo Tang seemed to have forgotten that reasoning with a woman, regardless of her maturity or innocence, is often unwise...
Since they were in the Yunlan Sect's main hall, with the eight inner sect elders present, Mo Tang and Yun Yun could only feign unfamiliarity and exchange pleasantries.
Yun Yun should have left at this point...
After all, as the Yunlan Sect's leader, it was a great favor for him to take the time to meet with Mo Tang.
As for the Mo family's subsequent request, all it took was for one of the inner sect elders to intervene.
Because of Mo Cheng's connections, the Mo family had previously enjoyed close ties with Yunlan Sect's Grand Elder, Yun Leng, so the Grand Elder had always been the one to handle the Mo family's affairs...
But after meeting Mo Tang, Yun Yun had unwittingly taken it upon herself to inquire about the Mo family's affairs.
This caused Yun Leng to frown.
After a brief conversation about the details of the battle between the two mysterious Dou Huang masters in Yancheng, Mo Tang duly presented the gift the Mo family had presented to the Yunlan Sect.
However, Yun Yun made no move, instead signaling Great Elder Yun Leng to take over...
This also indicated that Yun Yun had no intention of taking over the Mo Clan... and as the Yunlan Sect's Sect Master, there was no need for her to lower herself to such a position.
Her decision was a show to all the elders present, demonstrating her high regard for the young man before her.
After Mo Tang handed the ring to Yun Leng, Yun Yun spoke again.
"As an outer sect deacon of the Yunlan Sect, Mo Cheng's unexplained death will not be ignored by the Yunlan Sect. I will do my best to investigate the two mysterious Dou Huangs."
Mo Tang's expression was filled with gratitude, and he bowed in thanks. "On behalf of the entire Mo Clan, Mo Tang, thank you, Sect Master, for your assistance!"
Yun Yun gave him a subtle eye roll, then, as per protocol, offered him a few words of encouragement.
Finally, it was time to get down to business.
Yun Yun glanced at Mo Tang, then her eyes swept over the faces of several elders around her, especially when she saw that the great elder Yun Leng nodded slightly to her...
Seeing this, Yun Yun's eyes fell on Mo Tang again, and she pondered: "Originally, Mo Cheng was the outer sect deacon of my Yunlan Sect. Now that he has died unexpectedly, this position can't be shelved like this..."
"Then, why not let Mo Tang, the new great elder of the Mo family, inherit this position... However, Mr. Mo Tang has been able to cultivate to the Douling realm at such a young age. Even in the entire Jia Ma Empire, he is a top existence. So I suggest inviting Mr. Mo Tang to become an outer sect elder of my Yunlan Sect. What do you elders think?"
Yun Leng, who was originally ready to agree, heard Yun Yun's next words, and the word "good" was stuck in his throat, and his old face turned red.
"Ahem, well... Sect Master, I think we need to consider this matter of outer sect elders carefully. After all, Mo Tang is still the grand elder of the Mo family. Strictly speaking, he is not a member of our Yunlan Sect. Why not let him take over Mo Cheng's position as outer sect deacon first, and we can discuss the rest later."
However, Yun Yun had already made up her mind, so she directly refuted Yun Leng's words: "Grand Elder, you are wrong." "
Although outer sect elders belong to the position of elders, there are no mandatory constraints, and there is no conflict with whether Mo Tang is the grand elder of the Mo family. After all, that is his own family..."
"As for whether he is a member of the Yunlan Sect... as long as Mo Tang agrees to become an outer sect elder, he will naturally be a member of our Yunlan Sect."
Although Yun Yun did not say it explicitly, her words were very sure, and the meaning that no argument could be made out of her words.
Seeing this, Yun Leng could only remain silent.
Facing the threatening glare directed his way, Mo Tang smiled faintly and readily agreed.
He had come here to cling to the Yun Lan Sect's influence. Now that Yun Yun had offered him her long, white, soft, and smooth legs, how could he not embrace them tightly?
Yun Yun was filled with pride.
This bastard!
Not only had he deceived me with a false name back then, but he had also directly rejected my offer...
And now? He's just going to offer himself up to me?
Humph!
Once you join the Yun Lan Sect, I'll see how I'll slowly teach you a lesson...
Mo Tang, who had been delighted at having completed this mission perfectly and beyond, suddenly shuddered, feeling as if he were being watched by some terrifying being.
Yun Yun then arranged for Mo Tang to rest in the Yun Lan Sect's guest house, while she summoned her disciple, Nalan Yanran, to her own residence.
"There's less than half a year left in the three-year agreement. I won't comment on what happened back then, but we can't take this agreement lightly. The elixir I asked Elder Gu to refine has just been completed. In the next period of time, you must practice diligently and improve your strength. I will also teach you some of the Yunlan Sect's secret techniques."
Listening to Yun Yun's words, Nalan Yanran nodded solemnly in agreement.
Because of the three-year agreement, she knew some things about Xiao Yan of the Xiao family.
