"I will fully support you and Yun'er." Sect Master Yun Shan said with a determined expression.
Just one Protector Wu made him completely change his original attitude.
He had thought the problem too simply, only caring about the difference in alchemy between Xiao Li and Gu He, but ignoring the difference in cultivation.
When the alchemy skills were nearly identical, the difference in strength became the key.
Gu He was indeed an Elder of Yunlan Sect, but he was only a Dou Wang.
As for Xiao Li's strength, it had always been rumored to be that of a Dou Wang.
But now, Xiao Li had proven with Protector Wu that he possessed the strength to suppress a Dou Zong expert!
Based on this alone, Sect Master Yun Shan had to reconsider.
Bringing Yun Yun and Xiao Li together would, at most, make Gu He unhappy, and Gu He might not even leave Yunlan Sect.
However, if he brought Yun Yun and Gu He together, he would offend an enemy who was a Sixth-Grade Alchemist and capable of suppressing a Dou Zong expert.
With Yunlan Sect's current strength, it did not have the capability to deal with a Dou Zong expert.
Because Sect Master Yun Shan was very clear about Protector Wu's strength; it was definitely above his own.
Yet, even such a Protector Wu was easily subdued by Xiao Li.
Therefore, once a fight broke out with Xiao Li, Sect Master Yun Shan did not think he would be his opponent.
There's an old saying: a wise man submits to circumstances.
Sect Master Yun Shan wanted to be a wise man and not end up like Protector Wu.
One must learn to be adaptable; it's better for everyone.
"Since that's the case, then many thanks to Sect Master Yun Shan for your acceptance." Xiao Li showed a satisfied smile.
He was here to threaten Sect Master Yun Shan.
If the identity of a Sixth-Grade Alchemist couldn't convince him, then he would add absolute strength.
If it weren't for him being Yun Yun's teacher, and Xiao Li having no grievances with Sect Master Yun Shan.
Otherwise, he wouldn't mind directly taking action to subdue Sect Master Yun Shan.
Politeness first, then force; if words didn't work, he would fight until they did.
As for Sect Master Yun Shan, he actually had no particular feelings about Xiao Li suppressing Protector Wu.
Although Protector Wu helped him break through to Dou Zong, the relationship between them was purely a transaction; they weren't even partners.
Since the transaction was complete, Sect Master Yun Shan naturally wouldn't do something foolish like avenge Protector Wu... Coming out from the back mountain, the sky outside was already nearing dusk.
Yun Yun sat alone in her boudoir, staring at the mirror in front of her, somewhat lost in thought.
At this moment, her heart was in a mess, somewhat at a loss for what to do.
Between Gu He and Xiao Li, she would definitely choose Xiao Li.
But for Yunlan Sect, choosing Xiao Li was not the best option.
What should she do...
"Yun'er, what are you doing here by yourself, lost in thought?"
A voice sounded from outside the window, and Yun Yun looked up to see Xiao Li.
Yun Yun quickly hid the sadness on her face: "How did you know my room was here?"
"You are the Sect Master of Yunlan Sect. If I want to know where you are, wouldn't I just ask?" Xiao Li smiled.
"Oh, and your teacher wants you to go see him again."
"Teacher? How did he get you to deliver a message to me?"
"Because I've already seen him once. Hurry up, there might be a surprise." Xiao Li said with a mysterious smile.
"You've already seen my teacher?"
Yun Yun was even more surprised.
When did Xiao Li meet with Sect Master Yun Shan?
With countless questions in her heart, she still went to find Sect Master Yun Shan first, and then she would come back to ask this guy.
Xiao Li, meanwhile, remained in Yun Yun's courtyard, quietly waiting.
Ten minutes later, Yun Yun returned.
"How was it? Did your teacher give you any good news?"
"You... what did you say to teacher?" Yun Yun looked astonished, finding it hard to believe.
Just now, Sect Master Yun Shan's attitude had changed.
From subtly or overtly pushing Yun Yun to choose Gu He at first, to just now firmly stating his support for her and Xiao Li.
Less than an hour had passed between these two instances.
The only change in between was what Xiao Li had just said: he had met with Sect Master Yun Shan.
But Sect Master Yun Shan only said he had met with Xiao Li and then changed his mind, without directly stating the reason.
So Yun Yun was very curious: how exactly did Xiao Li convince Sect Master Yun Shan?
Xiao Li shrugged: "Didn't say much, just proved my own worth, that's all."
"Now all problems are solved, and your teacher also supports us, so you can rest assured."
"Now, with my status, I am perfectly worthy of you, the Sect Master of Yunlan Sect. Is there anything else you need to worry about?" Xiao Li put his arm around the woman's slender waist, gazing at her perfect face.
Yun Yun's emotions were very complex.
Just moments ago, she was feeling melancholic and at her wit's end.
Now, she had received such a surprising piece of news.
In just over an hour, her mood had been like a rollercoaster, experiencing all sorts of ups and downs.
"Xiao Li, thank you."
She hugged Xiao Li, burying her face in his chest, and whispered softly.
For the first time, Yun Yun felt she had someone to rely on.
For so many years, even though she was the Sect Master of Yunlan Sect, in reality, many things were not up to her to decide.
Even she herself had to be prepared to give everything for Yunlan Sect at any moment.
Sect Master Yun Shan had repeatedly tried to bring her and Gu He together, hoping to firmly bind Gu He to Yunlan Sect through this.
It was only because Yun Yun had always been unwilling that it hadn't reached that point.
In fact, before Sect Master Yun Shan came to talk to her again, she had already considered breaking up with Xiao Li.
As a result, Xiao Li successfully cleared all the obstacles between them.
"Just a 'thank you'?"
Xiao Li grinned mischievously, lifting Yun Yun's chin.
The woman's cheeks flushed slightly; how could she not understand Xiao Li's naughty thoughts?
"Why is your mind... always thinking about such things?" She chided softly, with a hint of complaint.
"Because Yun'er, you are simply too beautiful; it makes one's mind only capable of thinking about such things." Xiao Li chuckled mischievously.
After her psychological burden was completely released, Yun Yun's attitude also changed a lot, no longer restraining herself everywhere.
Thus, she proactively offered her warm and soft lips.
Xiao Li naturally wouldn't dampen her enthusiasm; while kissing, he began to 'climb the mountain'.
"Mmm..."
Yun Yun's delicate body trembled slightly. She didn't refuse, but rather felt the heart-stirring sensation.
When the final line of defense was breached, she was even too shy to look at Xiao Li.
Subsequently, Xiao Li no longer showed mercy, but pressed forward courageously.
Yun Yun's delicate brows immediately furrowed, and her jade hands tightly gripped his arm.
Although they had tried it once back in the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
But that time was purely an accident, and Yun Yun felt almost nothing, and psychologically she was very resistant.
This time, her mindset and feelings were completely different.
There would still be pain.
Xiao Li gently kissed the tears from the corners of her eyes, slowly guiding her.
Inside the room, spring was in full bloom.
The little cat outside also cried all night long... [Ding! Yun Yun successfully pregnant!]
