Volume 1 Chapter 14: The Young Generation of Lingyuan City

  Half a month later, Yun Yijian's complexion was ruddy, with only a hint of illness.

  Nangong Qiblue's blue dress was so beautiful that it took one's breath away, every move she made was full of fatal charm, and holding a war knife made her look even more heroic.

  "Can you travel long distances? To activate the domain gate for long-distance transmission, and to cross thousands of miles to the Void Battlefield. If it's really not possible, don't force yourself!" said Nan Gong Xue Lan calmly.

  Yun Yijian suddenly felt speechless towards this stunning princess, who refused to leave his side alone for half a month no matter what, and even forced him to follow her. During this time, she had made two moves, both of which were suppressed by him with absolute advantage.

  "I'm still very weak now and it's not suitable for me to open the domain gate at all. If you really can't wait, then go ahead!" Yun Yijian said gloomily.

  "Hmph, since I can wait for half a month, I can also wait for half a year. If you don't leave now, I'll bury you here!" Nan Gong Qi Lan angrily said with a pout.

  Nangong's anger caused the entire courtyard to be shrouded in mist that turned into frost, clearly indicating that he had indeed harbored such thoughts.

  Just then, Mr. Sito hurried over and, seeing the awkward atmosphere, was at a loss for what to do for a moment.

  "What's going on?" Nan Gong Qi Lan's mood was extremely unpleasant, and she suddenly spoke in a cold tone.

  "Princess, I've noticed you seem a bit down lately. The various families have heard that you're here and they've been wanting to send their young generations to visit you, to help lift your spirits. Would you like to see them?" asked Situ Jun awkwardly.

  "See you, make an appointment!" Nan Gong Qi Lan was furious, after running into Yun Yi Jian she found herself really being passive, with no way to vent her anger.

  "The princess, they are already waiting at Lingyun Hall, many programs have been arranged, hoping you will like them." said Situ Jun respectfully.

  "Alright, lead the way, Yun Yijian follow me!" said Nangong Qie.

  "Hmm..." Yun Yijian seemed to know that he had provoked Nangong, this little princess, over the past few days and didn't care about her tone, so he followed along.

  On the small path, Yun Yijian quietly followed, keeping a distance of over ten meters, with an unruly and smiling gaze fixed on Nangong Qiblue's butt.

  Nangong Qilan's hair stood on end, although she was walking ahead, but with her spiritual sense and soul perception, she saw Yun Yicheng's every move clearly, clenched her fists but had to suppress her temper.

  "Yun Yijian, come forward!" Nan Gong Qilüe almost gritted her teeth, enunciating each word.

  "It's an honor for us commoners to follow in the footsteps of Your Highness, I dare not overstep even a little. Please go ahead, Your Highness, I think the scenery behind is more beautiful!" Yun Yijian said humbly.

  Nangong Qilan took a deep breath of fragrance and immediately stopped paying attention to this rascal, quickening her pace.

  Inside the Lingyun Hall, luxury and decay filled the air, with an ancient aura that intimidated everyone. Nearly a hundred people were scattered about, mostly young men and women, as well as some young adults. However, each person's strength was not to be underestimated, and they all had a hint of invincibility about them. It was clear that they were all vying for the favor of the Southern Palace's Holy Princess, Nangong. Even if they couldn't win her hand in marriage, they could still join the Holy Land as a nominal disciple.

  Situ Jun led the two men in and then stepped aside.

  Almost a hundred people saw Nan Gong Xiu Lan and immediately stood up respectfully, saying "We've seen Senior Nan Gong!"

  "No need for formalities, take a seat." Nan Gong Qi Lan waved her hand lightly, exuding an unmistakable air of superiority.

  "The princess takes her seat, and so does the young master." Xī Shì Jun waved his hand, and an extra chair appeared in the main seat.

  Yun Yijian sat down beside Nangong Qilan without any politeness, taking deep breaths continuously, and then sighed, "So fragrant!"

  "You... be honest with me, if I make a move, you'll cry to the tune!" Nangong Qie's voice was transmitted directly into Yun Yijian's ear.

  "Everyone has something to say, and you can also recommend yourself. If I like it, I'll make sure you become a registered disciple in the Holy Land. If you're particularly outstanding, I might even consider letting you cultivate in seclusion within my Holy Land." Nangong Qiblue threw out the bait, paused for a moment, then continued, "If someone can defeat Yun Gongzi, who is at or below the Condensing Pulse stage, next to me, I'll allow you to follow me wherever I go!"

  Nangong Qiblue suddenly dropped a heavy bomb, and Yun Yijian's heart was racing with ten million galloping horses.

  At this moment, everyone forgot about their rivalry and stared at Yun Yijian, with eyes like wolves pouncing on sheep.

  "You... I was just joking with you, don't take it so seriously?" Yun Qijian looked at Nan Gong Qiuluo speechlessly.

  "Haha, I was just joking with you, but don't lose face for your family, can't even beat a small genius from a small place! However, I still think highly of you and believe you can win!" Nangong Qiblue said with a pleased tone as soon as she saw Yun Yexian's embarrassed expression.

  "With Senior Nangong's consent, I'll challenge Yun Gongzi!" A young man in the middle of the Condensation stage stood up and said in a deep voice.

  "This is Xu Ziyao from Lingyuan City, only 23 years old. He ranks 13th in the Potential Kings List and 4th in the Wind and Clouds List, with a first-class talent." Sutu Jun self-praised, hoping that the disciples of Lingyuan City could gain recognition from the princess.

  "Hmm, please set up the Lock Dragon Formation, Castle Master Situ. You can demonstrate it here, just a brief demonstration will do." Nan Gong Qi Lan said calmly.

  "Lan Ye, am I not allowed to go?" Yun Yijian furrowed his brow slightly. The title of "Ye" that he used to address her was already the greatest compliment he could give to this overbearing and yet charming woman.

  "Do you think I would say yes?" Nan Gong Qi Lan replied calmly.

  "I think you won't, but I'm really not used to competing with others. If we're talking about real combat, I don't know how many battles I've been in - it's all just a show for others to see. Sorry, I just don't have that habit!" Yun Qijian said coldly as he swept his sword around in a circle.

  Nangong Qilan suddenly thought of the Void War Clan's arrogance, that kind of innate arrogance that disrespected heaven and earth, and actually calmed down a lot.

  But the following group of young people suddenly burst into flames, each one of them was a self-proclaimed genius, regardless of male or female, they were all invincible existences on the same level, even in this small town, they were extraordinary existences.

  "What kind of person is this? Actually looking down on the people of Lingyuan City! If you don't dare to fight, then get out of here, don't tarnish the princess's dignity!" Someone suddenly stood up and said coldly.

  "Not bad, you look like a talented person, but it turns out that you're just all talk and no action. What's the point of pretending? I'm a small fry from the beginning of the Qi opening period, but I'll lower myself to your level and fight you. If you can last for even one incense stick, then you win!"

  The young man lost his temper and slammed his fist on the table in a rage.

  "Hehe..."

  Yun Yijian smiled coldly, in the Imperial City of Zixiao, he hadn't even opened his meridian gates, yet he could sweep away the characters on the Wind and Cloud List, and had even entered the Hidden Dragon Potential List. Today, he had opened three major meridians and eleven minor ones. Although he wasn't a match for Nangong Qiblue, sweeping away this group of little brats was absolutely no problem.

  "Still pretending! Will you die if you don't pretend? A man can't have too much pride, but he absolutely cannot be without backbone. I, this young lady, most dislike men like you who have no real ability yet pretend to be cool. This is the Creation Continent, where strength is revered. Don't think that just because you have a bit of good looks, you can win the princess's favor. A person like you, I don't even look up to, let alone the princess?"

  Nangong Qilan was silent, Yun Yijian was also silent, and more than a dozen young men and women were still silent, quietly watching Yun Yijian and Nangong Qilan.

  Situ Jun was extremely embarrassed, he knew that although Yun Yijian's boundary was low, his status in Nangong Qie Lan's heart was absolutely not low, otherwise how could it be possible for her to personally take care of him for half a month, and even when angered only taught him a lesson without killing him?

  Yun Yijian, having gained the attention of Nangong Qilüe, must not have relied on his appearance alone, but rather his terrifying and extraordinary combat abilities as well as his exceptional talent; however, since Nangong Qilüe remained silent, he could only remain silent as well.

  "Alright, since Young Master Yun Yijian is unwilling to make a move, let's not force him. You all can take turns making your moves." Nan Gong Qie Lan said, seeing the atmosphere becoming increasingly intense, with Yun Yijian's face darkening to the point of almost bleeding.

  "Princess, don't be deceived by this person's appearance. He has been insulted by so many people and yet he doesn't dare to make a sound, not even considered a man. Do you still expect him to follow you around as your king?" Xu Ziyao said in a low voice.

  "If you want to fight, then fight! No need to hold back, go all out!"

  Yun Yijian's voice was icy cold, his eyes gazing down at the dozens of people below, neither his self-esteem nor the dignity of the Void Spirit Clan could be insulted.
