Chapter 346: Master and Disciple Reunite! Transmitting Power to Nalan Yanran!
“Miss Nalan, how are your injuries?”
As soon as the red-haired middle-aged man turned around, he immediately expressed concern for Nalan Yanran’s condition.
Hearing his words, Nalan Yanran didn’t respond directly about her injuries. Instead, with a mix of confusion and caution in her eyes, she asked, “Who are you? Why did you save me? And how do you know my name?”
Seeing the wariness in Nalan Yanran’s eyes, the powerful red-haired man quickly explained, looking a bit flustered, “Miss Nalan, I am Red Dragon. The master sent me to protect you in secret. The master instructed me not to intervene unless your life was in danger, which is why I’ve never appeared before you.”
“This time, it was my mistake for not stopping that demon leopard’s attack in time.”
At this point, Red Dragon’s face showed a hint of self-blame.
“Master?”
“Who is his master, and why would he send someone to protect me... Could it be...?”
As Nalan Yanran speculated in her mind, an overwhelming aura suddenly swept in from the distant sky.
Both Red Dragon and Nalan Yanran turned their gazes towards the source of this aura.
Under their watchful eyes, a massive black dragon appeared in the sky above the mountain ravine, blocking out much of the already dim light. On the back of the black dragon, there seemed to be two figures standing.
“It’s the master and Boss Blackscale!”
Seeing the enormous black dragon above, Red Dragon excitedly said to Nalan Yanran.
Although Nalan Yanran couldn’t clearly see the figures on the back of the black dragon, a familiar feeling washed over her.
“Could it be Master?”
Just as this thought arose in her mind, a gentle yet urgent female voice came from the back of the black dragon.
“Husband, it’s really Yanran!” Yun Yun said joyfully to Gu He beside her.
“It’s that girl Yanran, and she seems to be injured…”
Sensing Nalan Yanran’s condition below, Gu He raised an eyebrow. In the next moment, he embraced Yun Yun, and their figures instantly appeared before Nalan Yanran and Red Dragon.
“Master!” Red Dragon respectfully saluted Gu He.
“Master... Ah…”
Seeing Gu He and Yun Yun suddenly appear before her, Nalan Yanran, overwhelmed with excitement, tried to stand up and greet them. But as soon as she moved, a sharp pain shot through the wound on her leg.
“Yanran, don’t move. Just lie down.”
Surveying the surroundings, Yun Yun and Gu He immediately understood what had just transpired. Seeing Nalan Yanran’s condition, Yun Yun anxiously supported her and urged Gu He, “Husband, Yanran is seriously injured. You need to treat her quickly!”
“Alright!”
Hearing Yun Yun’s words, Gu He quickly retrieved a Grade Five Rejuvenation Pill from the system space and gave it to Nalan Yanran to swallow. Then, he took out a black bottle and sprinkled some medicinal powder on the wound on Nalan Yanran’s leg.
After taking the Rejuvenation Pill, Nalan Yanran’s condition quickly stabilized, but her thoughts lingered on what Yun Yun had just said to Gu He.
“Husband!”
“So, the two of them are in that kind of relationship. No wonder…”
As these thoughts crossed her mind, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Nalan Yanran’s eyes.
Turning her head to look at Yun Yun beside her, Nalan Yanran smiled and said, “Master’s wife, how did you and Master suddenly end up here?”
Hearing Nalan Yanran call her that, Yun Yun remained calm and softly responded, “This time, your master and I specifically came to see you. Just now, your master sensed a disturbance from a Dou Ancestor-level expert in the distance, so we rushed over immediately.”
At this moment, Fire Dragon, standing behind Gu He, suddenly spoke up with a face full of guilt, “Madam, it was my incompetence that led to Miss Nalan getting injured because I didn’t intervene in time.”
During their journey, Gu He had already explained many things to Yun Yun, so she wasn’t surprised to hear Fire Dragon address her that way.
As for Nalan Yanran, upon realizing that Fire Dragon was indeed sent by her master to protect her, she quickly waved her hand to defend him, saying, “Uncle Fire Dragon, it wasn’t your fault. In that kind of close combat, no matter how fast your reaction, it wouldn’t have been in time. Besides, I didn’t expect to be hit either, and you couldn’t reveal yourself beforehand to break the training rules.”
“Alright, Brother Fire Dragon, since Miss Nalan said so, don’t blame yourself anymore!” The transformed Black Scaled Frigid Python patted Fire Dragon on the shoulder, trying to comfort him.
“Fire Dragon, don’t overthink it. A few bumps and bruises during training are normal. You’ve worked hard protecting Yanran during this time, and you deserve a reward!” Gu He said kindly, handing over a jade bottle to Fire Dragon.
After everyone’s reassurances, the guilt in Fire Dragon’s heart finally subsided.
…
“Master, Senior Sister Xian’er and I separated after leaving the Yunlan Sect and arriving at the Demon Beast Mountain Range…”
Nalan Yanran then quickly recounted her recent experiences to Gu He and Yun Yun.
By the end, her eyes were a bit misty, and her voice had a hint of a sob.
“Master, Yanran feels so useless. You told me to at least reach the level of a Five-Star Dou Spirit during this training, but I’ve only just become a Nine-Star Dou Master... And I’ve only managed to hunt four Fourth-Rank Demon Beasts…”
Hearing Nalan Yanran’s words, Gu He gently patted her head and reassured her, “Yanran, the goal I set back then was just to give you a bit of pressure; it wasn’t meant for you to absolutely achieve it. You’ve already reached the level I hoped for.”
He continued, “I’m pleased that you’ve found a way to cope with the pressures and loneliness of continuous fighting, without becoming just a machine that knows only how to kill.”
“Really?”
Hearing that Gu He wasn’t disappointed in her for not completing the task, Nalan Yanran’s previously troubled mood brightened.
Gu He nodded affirmatively and said, “Of course it’s true. Moreover, I can see that your physical condition has improved a lot during this period. I believe that during this power transmission, you should be able to endure longer than before.”
“Power transmission… Master is going to transmit power to me!”
Hearing Gu He’s words, Nalan Yanran, who was resting her head on Yun Yun’s lap, exclaimed in pleasant surprise and then slowly sat up.
Yun Yun, now aware of Gu He’s practice of transmitting power to his disciples, had initially been concerned, just like Zi Yan, that it might harm Gu He’s body. At that time, Gu He had used the same excuse he gave to Zi Yan to brush her worries aside.
