Yun Yun's strange longsword had long been stored in her storage ring. Looking at the purple spirit crystal handed over by Chen Yang, she raised her slender jade hand and took it from him.
While handing over the item, Chen Yang's large hand intentionally yet "accidentally" brushed lightly against Yun Yun's hand. Yun Yun's heart trembled slightly, but she put the purple spirit crystal into her storage ring without changing her expression.
As if looking for a topic, Yun Yun glanced at Xiao Yan, who was resting his head on his hands and even had the mind to whistle, and said softly to Chen Yang, "I sought this Purple Spirit Stone because it is needed for the Medicinal Pill Elder Gu He prepared for Yanran."
Chen Yang nodded upon hearing this. "I have long heard of the fame of the Jia Ma Empire's Pill King. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will certainly pay a visit to exchange thoughts on Alchemy Skill."
The speaker had an intent, and the listener had their own interpretation.
Hearing Chen Yang's words, Yun Yun assumed that Chen Yang possessed an Alchemy Skill comparable to Gu He's. Xiao Yan, on the side, thought the same, thinking that Brother Yang's Alchemy Skill would likely reach a Breakthrough again soon.
"After Yun Yun returns to the Sect, I will inform Elder Gu He of this good news!" Yun Yun looked at Chen Yang with a smile, a hint of joy flashing in her heart.
"Mhm!" Chen Yang nodded.
Yun Yun bit her lip lightly with her pearly teeth. She looked at Chen Yang, who wasn't particularly enthusiastic toward her, and felt like leaving. However, Chen Yang had indeed saved her just now, and that faint, hazy feeling made her want to stay a little longer.
Thus, she continued to use Xiao Yan as a way to branch out the conversation.
"Great Master Chen Yang..." Yun Yun had just called out when she was stopped by Chen Yang raising his hand.
"Sect Leader Yun, there's no need to be so formal. You can just call me by my name!" Chen Yang was well-versed in the ways of breaking down social barriers between men and women.
If a relationship is to develop further, the first step is to change how you address each other.
An intimate form of address, or a name that lacks a sense of distance—or at least reduces it—can directly close the distance between two hearts.
Look at Xiao Yan, calling her 'Xun'er-meimei' with every breath for over a decade; isn't that how he captured the heart of the little princess of the Gu Clan!
"Then you shouldn't call me Sect Leader Yun either, just call me by my name!" Yun Yun's small, slightly cramped hands suddenly unfolded. Her eyes twinkled as she smiled at Chen Yang.
On the side, Xiao Yan was originally wondering why Yun Yun hadn't left yet since the transaction was complete.
As a result, this conversation immediately piqued Xiao Yan's gossiping heart.
He looked at the two of them with curiosity, his gaze gradually becoming suggestive.
However, just as Xiao Yan was watching them with a gaze that relished the sweet atmosphere, Yun Yun suddenly cued him: "Chen Yang, is Xiao Yan... your Disciple?"
When Yun Yun asked, she was actually a bit nervous.
She was terrified that Chen Yang would nod.
She had supported her Disciple when she went to annul the engagement. Although she hadn't told Ge Ye to use their power to suppress people or to annul it so confrontationally, her approval itself represented the attitude of the Cloud Mist Sect.
Although she had scolded Nalan Yanran after finding out the details, what had already happened could not be changed.
"I just find this kid agreeable, and I'm on good terms with an Elder in his Family, so I provided some help. This kid has his own teacher." Chen Yang could roughly guess what Yun Yun was thinking and explained proactively.
"Brother Yang, it's about mealtime. How about I fix us something to eat? You and Sect Leader Yun can talk while we eat." With gossip to enjoy, Xiao Yan naturally didn't want to leave and made the suggestion.
"How about we go eat in a nearby city? I should also thank you for saving my life, Chen Yang." Hearing what Chen Yang said, Yun Yun felt a slight sense of relief. As long as he wasn't a Disciple, there was still a chance for reconciliation. Seeing Xiao Yan's suggestion to eat, Yun Yun also made a proposal.
"At our speed, flying to the nearest city would take at least two to four hours. Besides, the ingredients in the city might not be as fresh as those in the Magical Beast Mountain Range!" The two closest cities to their current location were Wutan City and Blackrock City, neither of which was close.
Moreover, the Magical Beast Mountain Range was the place where the two of them first met. He had to deepen the impression here, ideally with some physical contact.
Yun Yun had been a "single dog" for over twenty years. Over these years, forget about intimate contact with men, she probably hadn't even spent much time talking to them alone. To get close to her heart, it was actually quite simple.
