Chapter 69: Teacher, Can You Stop Praising?
"Sister, give me another bowl!"
In the room, Nalan Yanran, feeling satisfied after finishing a bowl of chicken soup, handed the bowl to Xiao Yi Xian.
"Sure, there's plenty left. If you like it, I'll make it for you often in the future." Xiao Yi Xian served another bowl of chicken soup to Nalan Yanran.
*Creak!*
Just as Nalan Yanran lifted the bowl, ready to drink, the door suddenly pushed open, and a figure in green walked in.
"Teacher!"
Seeing the person coming in, Nalan Yanran was first stunned, then a pleasant surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes. She immediately forgot about the chicken soup in her hands and rushed into Yun Yun's embrace.
"Teacher, I missed you so much!"
Nalan Yanran nestled in Yun Yun's arms, acting coquettishly.
Yun Yun also smiled, rubbing Nalan Yanran's head with indulgence. "You're already an adult and still acting cute. Have some shame."
At this moment, Xiao Yi Xian also approached respectfully and said, "Disciple greets the Sect Master."
Looking at Xiao Yi Xian's graceful and dignified demeanor, Yun Yun couldn't help but show a smile. "You're here too, coming to spar with your senior sister, I suppose."
Yun Yun hadn't forgotten the task that Gu He assigned to Nalan Yanran that day.
Thinking of this, Yun Yun said to Nalan Yanran, "Yanran, you promised Elder Gu He, remember, you must teach your junior sister diligently."
Upon hearing this, Nalan Yanran blushed slightly.
She thought, does her junior sister really need her guidance now?
If she exerted all her strength, she wasn't sure if she could withstand a single move.
Facing Yun Yun's words at the moment, she didn't know how to respond.
Nalan Yanran changed the subject and took Yun Yun's jade-like hand, leading her towards the table. "Teacher, haven't you had dinner yet? Junior sister made chicken soup, and it's delicious."
"Chicken soup!"
At the mention of chicken soup, Yun Yun's beautiful eyes lit up. She had just smelled the fragrance outside and assumed it must be from the chicken soup.
It smelled so good, the taste must be excellent.
In the past month, she had been busy collecting herbs to refine the Emperor's Extreme Pill. In terms of food, she had mostly been managing with whatever was available.
Now smelling the fragrance of the chicken soup, she felt a bit hungry.
Hearing Nalan Yanran's praise, Yun Yun smiled and said, "In that case, let me taste Xiao Yi Xian's cooking skills."
"Teacher, don't worry; it's guaranteed to be delicious!"
Upon hearing this, Nalan Yanran confidently patted her chest, then happily served a bowl of chicken soup to Yun Yun.
Smelling the aroma, Yun Yun couldn't wait to take a sip, her eyes instantly lighting up.
She looked at Xiao Yi Xian with some surprise and praised, "I didn't expect you to have such culinary skills. This bowl of chicken soup is the most delicious I've ever had."
Upon hearing Yun Yun's praise, Xiao Yi Xian felt a bit embarrassed. "If the Sect Master likes it, in the future, I can make it for you regularly."
Yun Yun, pleased, said, "Good!"
Yun Yun genuinely liked the charming and gentle girl in front of her. She walked over, took Xiao Yi Xian's delicate hand, and the three of them sat down to chat.
As they sat together, chatting casually, to Nalan Yanran's surprise, Yun Yun brought up the topic of her cultivation.
Yun Yun asked, "Yanran, during my absence, have you made any breakthroughs in your cultivation?"
Nalan Yanran hesitated for a moment, feeling a bit bitter inside, and honestly replied, "Teacher, I have reached the Five-Star Dou Zhe level."
Nalan Yanran's tone was somewhat tentative, lacking confidence.
In the past, breaking through a realm in a month would have made Nalan Yanran ecstatic. She would have thought proudly, as the top talent of the Cloud Sect, who else could achieve such rapid progress?
But now, after witnessing Xiao Yi Xian's cultivation speed, she felt indifferent, even finding it somewhat amusing.
She laughed at her past ignorance and unwarranted self-confidence.
However, Yun Yun, upon hearing this, showed a pleased smile and praised, "You've actually made a breakthrough. Well done. Your teacher is very pleased. It seems that after my departure, you haven't become lazy."
Nalan Yanran blushed immediately upon hearing this.
Teacher, can you please stop saying that!
Thinking of her junior sister Xian'er, who had broken through several realms in a month without receiving any praise from Elder Gu He, Nalan Yanran couldn't help but feel a bit frustrated.
Now, with just a single realm breakthrough, Teacher looked so pleased.
Nalan Yanran suddenly felt that Teacher and Elder Gu He were not in the same league.
At this moment, Yun Yun was genuinely pleased. Breaking through a realm in a month was already considered a fast pace in her eyes.
It seemed that after breaking off the engagement with the young man from the Xiao family, Yanran had become even more progressive.
Thinking of this, Yun Yun felt more convinced that her decision to agree to Yanran's annulment was wise.
Although she was happy inside, Yun Yun knew that she couldn't praise Yanran too much. With her proud personality, she might become overly confident.
Thinking of this, Yun Yun continued, "Yanran, although you have excellent talent, remember not to become complacent. In the future, you must work even harder. Don't forget the three-year agreement with that young man from the Xiao family."
Upon hearing Yun Yun's words, Nalan Yanran felt like her whole world was about to collapse.
Teacher, I beg you, please, stop praising me!
My talent is good?
Are you sure?
If my talent is considered good, then what about my junior sister Xian'er?
Am I being complacent?
Am I worthy?
Do you know?
I'm almost feeling inferior!
Seeing that Yun Yun was about to continue, Nalan Yanran hastily filled another bowl of chicken soup for her, changing the subject, "Teacher, let's drink the chicken soup quickly. It won't taste good when it gets cold. Come, drink it while it's hot!"
Yun Yun was interrupted before she could finish her sentence, and Nalan Yanran hurriedly handed her the bowl, smiling, "Teacher, this chicken soup is delicious. Drink it while it's hot."
Yun Yun: ...
This girl, she doesn't like it when I say a few words.
Yun Yun thought that Nalan Yanran simply didn't like her constant lecturing.
Well!
This girl, when she left, was so conscientious in her cultivation; it was already commendable.
Thinking of this, Yun Yun decided not to speak anymore. She picked up the chicken soup and started drinking.
Seeing that Yun Yun finally stopped, Nalan Yanran breathed a sigh of relief.
If the Teacher continued speaking, especially in front of Junior Sister Xian'er, Nalan Yanran wouldn't know how to handle it.
Luckily, she was clever enough to divert the topic with the chicken soup.
However, what Nalan Yanran didn't expect was that after Yun Yun finished the chicken soup, she started again.
"Yanran, there's another month left before the inner disciple grand competition."
"Are you well-prepared?"
"You must strive for first place this time."
Upon hearing Yun Yun's words, Nalan Yanran was completely dumbfounded.
Teacher, are you serious?
