Chapter 8: You’ve Lost
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Since you've agreed, then let's begin right now!"
A crisp female voice rang out and Guanghan suddenly saw that the girl who was originally standing more than three meters behind him had suddenly disappeared.
"Swoosh!"
The agility that came from his swordsman training made his eyes quickly turn.
A figure immediately flew past him like faint smoke so quickly that he was now five meters behind her.
Since when was Yun Qingyan capable of something like this?
That was the first question in his mind, but Guanghan didn't have time to think so much right now and he quickly started running after her.
He suddenly realized with a terrible shock that if he continued standing there in a daze, he might seriously lose to this useless bum of a Yun Qingyan.
One figure in red and another figure in black started running after each other in the enormous Yun Mansion.
Yun Qingyan glanced at the cold young man with the corner of her eye as he remained close behind her and her lips curled upwards.
Not bad, he was actually able to stay pretty close to her.
Back then, she had relied on the Cloud Disturbing Stride to roam all of South Sea Realm's dangerous territories.
One stride was enough to disturb the clouds, but it also made her move as quickly and easily as clouds in the wind.
She could count how many people could catch up with her in the South Sea Realm on one hand.
But of course, Guanghan was able to catch up with her now partly because this current body of hers was limited in strength, but even so, he was still considered not too bad.
"Swoosh! Swoosh!"
Two figures reached the main house one after another.
"You've lost."
Guanghan stabilized himself only to hear a clear and crisp female voice ring in his ears.
His expression started to darken and he began to exude a cold air around him.
Had he actually lost to a useless bum?
No, if this girl knew how to run in such a magical way that left no traces at all, then it wasn't appropriate to call Yun Qingyan a useless bum anymore.
"I've lost alright. Go ahead and make any request you like." Guanghan said these words with a glum expression and his voice was cold and stiff.
But Yun Qingyan just smiled and waved her hands about. "No hurry, no hurry. I'll leave this reward of mine with you for the time being, and I'll come back to you when I remember it."
Guanghan looked at Yun Qingyan's arrogant and smug expression and the stuffiness in his heart nearly made him puke blood.
"What bet do Yan and Han have? Do tell me so that this old man here could join in the fun too." A cheeky elderly voice interrupted their conversation.
"My Lord." Guanghan's face instantly reddened slightly when he saw Yun Tian. How was he going to tell the marquis that he had a speed race with Yun Qingyan earlier and he actually lost to her?
He had been personally taught and guided by Grand Master Yun, and he was more talented than his peers from a very young age. But now, he had actually lost to Yun Qingyan, a girl with a constitution too poor to cultivate any Elemental Power. Would Grand Master Yun be very disappointed if he found out about this?
"Grandpa!" Yun Qingyan's eyes lit up the moment she spotted Yun Tian, and she happily ran up to him.
These were emotions that belonged to the original owner of this body, but you could also say that these emotions also belonged to her.
Grand Master Yun doted and adored his granddaughter genuinely.
In her previous life, she had transmigrated to become an orphan in the South Sea Realm and had become Floating Cloud Godly Sovereign all by herself with no family at all, so she had never felt the sweet warmth of a family member feeling worried for her.
Now that her soul from her previous life had merged with this soul, she inherited all the memories and the body of Yun Qingyan. So you could say that she was now Yun Qingyan, the Young Mistress of Yun Mansion, and Yun Qingyan was now her.
The two souls had combined to become one.
She viewed Grand Master Yun as her own biological grandfather as well.
Grand Master Yun was so pleased to see Yun Qingyan run towards him and his eyes were narrow slits from his smiling.
Yun Qingyan huddled in next to Grand Master Yun and noticed the awkwardness on Guanghan's face. She knew what he was concerned about.
She turned to look up at Grand Master Yun and said in an adorable voice, "That's a secret between me and Guanghan, so I can't tell you, Grandpa."
Since his precious granddaughter was behaving so adorably, Grand Master Yun didn't bother about this matter anymore. He was happy as he said, "My precious granddaughter is now all grown up and you have your own little secrets."
His face was covered with smiles and his usually aggressive and fearsome eyes were now filled with love and gentleness. "Since it's a secret between you and Han, then I won't pry into it."
Guanghan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart when he saw that Grand Master Yun was going to let this matter go, and his tense expression relaxed a little.
He looked at Yun Qingyan in surprise.
He was surprised that Yun Qingyan didn't take this opportunity to show off in front of Grand Master Yun, and even took the initiative to cover up this matter.
But Yun Qingyan didn't turn to look at him anymore, she was happily smiling and chatting with Grand Master Yun.
Suddenly, Grand Master Yun frowned and his face instantly became stern again as he exuded the authority that the top fighter in all of Beian Nation would have.
"Yan, why is there so much blood on your body?"
Yun Qingyan looked so lively and excited, so Grand Master Yun had not noticed earlier that her clothes were in quite a mess until he saw that some of it were stained with blood.
Yun Qingyan rubbed her nose. It was just a small matter and thanks to Guanghan's pill, the wounds caused by the whip had healed up quite a bit and would heal completely in less than three days. Besides, she had already taught Su Ling a lesson and she really didn't want her grandfather to worry about this matter.
After seeing how awkward Yun Qingyan looked, the old man immediately shot a fierce stare at Guanghan.
"Guanghan, you tell me!"
