13 Chapter 13: Yun Yun: I'm sorry

"Poof!"

The Dou Qi-transformed armor released by Mo Lan, with its earth attribute Dou Qi, possesses stronger defensive power. Even a Dou Spirit of a higher rank may not easily break through its defense. However, in the face of an attack from a Dou Emperor powerhouse, it was easily punctured like paper!

A swift Green Chill Sword Light, with lightning speed, severed Mo Lan's arm as she made her move. Not only that, the powerful Wind Attribute Dou Qi contained in the sword aura infiltrated his body through the wound, turning into countless sharp blades that cut his meridians into pieces. The tremendous impact even shattered the Dou Crystal inside Mo Lan's body.

Like a burst balloon, the Dou Qi stored in Mo Lan's body leaked out frantically. His strength plummeted from Dou Grandmaster, rapidly descending through Dou Master, Dou Practitioner, and finally, decades of cultivation, all his Dou Qi turned into nothing!

"Wow!"

Mo Lan opened his mouth and spewed a large pool of blood. His face and skin quickly aged, his hair turned snowy white, as if he had aged thirty years in an instant. Gasping for breath, he collapsed on the ground.

"Phew~ Finally, someone came to stop it."

Yun Tianming's tense body and mind could finally relax, his face still showing a hint of paleness. Gazing closely at the mature and heroic woman in front of him, his heart thumped wildly.

"Clang~"

The Green Chill Sword Light gradually retracted, and Yun Yun sheathed her sword. For a Dou Emperor powerhouse's strike, allowing Mo Lan to retain a breath was already a great mercy.

"Good, so cool! This is a true powerhouse!"

On the side, Nalan Yanran's eyes sparkled, her cheeks flushed, and admiration filled the space between her brows.

"Dad!!"

Mo Li was scared silly on the spot, sitting down on the ground with a muddy mess in his pants, presenting an embarrassing sight.

"Hiss!"

The audience belatedly realized the situation and involuntarily gasped in shock.

A Dou Emperor powerhouse, terrifying as such!

"Mo Lan, being so arrogant, injuring my disciple at the Misty Cloud Sect gathering, deserves to be punished."

"Considering Mo Family's long-time contributions to the Misty Cloud Sect, we will nullify his Dou Qi and expel him from the sect."

Yun Yun's cold voice, though devoid of any killing intent, combined with her decisive and ruthless actions, made people involuntarily feel intimidated.

"Lord Sect Master, this..."

Yun Du's face stiffened, about to say something, but was sternly silenced by a harsh look from Yun Yun.

Yun Yun was angry at this moment. Her icy gaze swept over Ge Ye not far away and then turned to the other elders of the Misty Cloud Sect. The elders who were stared at by her immediately sweated profusely, feeling guilty and lowered their heads.

!

When Mo Lan first attacked Yun Tianming, Yun Yun had already noticed. The reason she didn't immediately intervene was because she thought with Yun Du as the referee on the scene, he could easily handle Mo Lan. However, to her astonishment, Yun Du remained indifferent, Ge Ye, who managed the outer sect disciples, pretended not to see, and the other elders turned a blind eye, completely allowing Mo Lan to openly attack.

The atmosphere on the scene became unusually tense, and people exchanged glances, whispering to each other.

"They always say that Master Yun Yun likes peace and doesn't interfere much. I never expected that when she did intervene today, it would be so decisive," remarked Miteer Tengshan, stroking his beard in surprise.

"Haha! I've heard that Mo Family often provides benefits to the Misty Cloud Sect, managing things smoothly from top to bottom. That's why the elders of Misty Cloud Sect have let them act recklessly and kill people. Unexpectedly, Master Yun didn't buy into this, and directly disabled Mo Lan on the spot!"

Mu Lie chuckled maliciously. The military forces controlled by the Mu Family were stationed in the northeastern province of the Jia Ma Empire, conflicting with the interests of the Mo Family, a local power. Seeing Yun Yun about to punish the Mo Family, Mu Lie naturally found it enjoyable.

"Thanks to Master Yun's intervention, brother Tianming is safe now," Ya Fei said, relieved to see Yun Tianming escape unharmed.

"This is a great opportunity!"

"Misty Cloud Sect's elders watching an outsider openly attack a disciple. Yun Tianming must be disappointed in Misty Cloud Sect right now, isn't he?" Yao Yu, with a gleam in his eyes, seemed to have come up with a good idea.

"Exactly. Maybe we can approach Yun Tianming afterward; he's a talent," Yao Ye nodded in agreement. Just from Yun Tianming avoiding Mo Lan's enraged strike as a Dou Grandmaster, it was evident of his growth potential.

Yun Yun's swift and forceful action in severing Mo Lan's arm and nullifying her Dou Qi stunned everyone present. However, her subsequent actions greatly surprised everyone!

"Disciple, are you alright?"

Yun Yun briskly walked up to Yun Tianming, waving her sleeve to release a gentle Dou Qi, carefully helping him up.

"Thank you, Sect Master."

Yun Tianming felt the mild Dou Qi from Yun Yun, soothing the turbulence caused by Mo Lan within his body.

As a sect master, willingly setting aside her dignity to actively heal a younger generation was already surprising enough. However, her next move almost dropped everyone's jaws.

Yun Yun took a deep breath, a resolute expression flashing across her face. Then, in front of everyone, she bowed deeply.

"I'm sorry."

"It is the negligence of this sect master that almost led to the death of a sect disciple."

"As the 9th generation sect master of Misty Cloud Sect, I apologize to you!"

Her voice was melodious and sincere, filled with genuine remorse.

"Sect Master."

The elders of Misty Cloud Sect blushed as if publicly slapped in the face!

Yun Yun's phrase "negligence in management" was clearly a public criticism of their elder's irresponsibility, allowing Mo Lan to recklessly attack disciples. Unfortunately, the elders had no way to refute because it was evident that they had indeed accepted benefits from the Mo Family, leading them to stand by idly while their disciples were attacked.

Nalan Yanran stared in astonishment at Yun Yun, who bowed before them. Instead of finding the apology beneath a leader's dignity, she felt an infinite admiration. A powerful figure not bullying the weak and treating disciples fairly and justly—this was Misty Cloud Sect's Sect Master Yun Yun!

"Ah, this..."

Yun Tianming widened his eyes in astonishment.

It was because Yun Yun was bowing towards him, and a hint of fairness. Cough! Well, he had to admit it.

Yun Yun's apology was undoubtedly sincere!

"Sect Master, please get up quickly. Yun Tianming is a mere outer sect disciple, you shouldn't do this!"

Yun Tianming quickly stepped forward, personally lifting Yun Yun's hand.

Touching Yun Yun's hand for the first time, he felt its smoothness and delicacy, accompanied by a slightly cool sensation, making it irresistibly pleasant. Yun Tianming's heart rippled, and for a moment, he held Yun Yun's hand and forgot to let go.

"This guy!"

Gu He's eyes nearly popped out, his hands involuntarily gripping the armrest of his chair. Having harbored a secret love for Yun Yun for many years, he had never touched her hand until now. This young man dared to directly hold her hand, it was truly... so enviable!

"Hmm?"

Being touched by a man for the first time, Yun Yun's fingers trembled slightly. It seemed she hadn't expected Yun Tianming to dare to grab her hand and hold onto it. However, considering his young age, she guessed it was just a moment of panic and rudeness. She didn't think much of it, calmly retracting her hand without showing any reaction.

Brushing aside the green strands by her ear, Yun Yun's face adorned with a serene and elegant smile, her red lips gently parted, "Tianming, from today onwards, you are an official disciple of Misty Cloud Sect."

"Yes, Sect Master!"

Yun Tianming responded with genuine admiration. There was no choice; the Sect Master was just too wonderful. Somehow, he had to find a way to marry this woman!

Yun Yun's gentle yet firm actions drew expressions of admiration from the onlookers.

She harshly punished Mo Lan for openly attacking Misty Cloud Sect disciples.

She apologized to the injured disciple and voluntarily admitted her management negligence.

Clear rewards and punishments, daring to take responsibility.

In the eyes of the public, Yun Yun's image elevated to a higher realm in an instant!
