After Yun Yun requested Shui Wuya to spare Nalan Yanran, Shui Wuya fell silent.
He furrowed his brows slightly and gazed deeply at Yun Yun, his eyes revealing a hint of indifference, as if he had no interest in this dispute.
Everyone present could feel his coldness; to Shui Wuya, this was a personal matter concerning his disciple, one that did not involve him.
Seeing that Shui Wuya remained silent, Xiao Yan stepped forward. His gaze was resolute, and his tone was firm: "Yun Yun, there is no hatred between Nalan Yanran and me. I have already annulled my engagement with her and will not harm her.
However, since we have made a three-year agreement, I will certainly engage her in battle when the time comes."
His words conveyed a steadfastness in his decision and a respect for Nalan Yanran.
Yun Yun felt a surge of helplessness upon hearing Xiao Yan's words.
She understood Xiao Yan's strength, but she was also concerned about Nalan Yanran getting hurt during the competition.
Nonetheless, the character that Xiao Yan exhibited gave her a sense of reassurance; she realized that she could not change the situation.
Thus, she could only bow her head in agreement, silently praying that Nalan Yanran would remain safe.
Then, Nalan Yanran approached Shui Wuya and respectfully said, "Master, although I serve you, as the sect leader of the Yunlan Sect, I need to return to report on certain matters."
Shui Wuya nodded lightly. "Go ahead. From now on, stay in the Yunlan Sect and help me gather resources."
Nalan Yanran nodded in compliance.
Shui Wuya then raised his hand, conjuring a faint blue flame that appeared between his fingers. The flame was not scorching but emanated a mysterious wave of power.
His gaze was intense as he looked at Yun Yun, an indescribable authority radiating from him.
"If you wish to become my servant, you must accept this mark."
Shui Wuya's voice was calm yet powerful, resembling the laws of the universe.
Yun Yun was taken aback but did not hesitate; she knew that becoming Shui Wuya's servant was not a simple matter.
She slightly nodded, signaling that she was ready.
A hint of approval flickered in Shui Wuya's eyes as the blue flame gradually coalesced into a crystal-clear fireball, at its center a nebulous flame seemed to burn.
"This is a strange fire; it will condense my will into a mark within you."
Shui Wuya's words sounded almost like an incantation, invoking a sense of solemnity.
He slowly moved the fireball towards Yun Yun's chest. The power of the flame gently yet forcefully merged into her body, like a mysterious force flowing into her spirit.
Yun Yun felt an indescribable warmth radiating from her chest. She closed her eyes, her entire being seemingly enveloped in flames, a wondrous sensation spreading between her body and mind.
Gradually, the flames integrated into her, becoming part of her body, yet transcending the physical constraints and merging with her soul.
As the flames fully melded with her, Shui Wuya slowly retracted his hand. An imposing authority emanated from him, akin to that of an exalted deity.
"From this moment on, you will officially become my servant, Shui Wuya. Your spirit will be closely linked with this strange fire; should you harbor even the slightest betrayal, it will scorch your soul."
Shui Wuya's voice echoed throughout the cave, both imposing and mysterious.
Yun Yun's heart trembled as she sensed the presence of the strange fire; an unprecedented power surged within her.
She hadn't expected Shui Wuya to possess such a miraculous ability.
Gazing at Shui Wuya, a flicker of awe and wariness crossed her eyes.
"Master, you possess such powers?"
Yun Yun's voice quivered slightly as she looked at Shui Wuya in disbelief, a deep sense of reverence swelling within her.
Shui Wuyou nodded faintly, his tone calm. "Yes, this is a unique means of mine.
As long as you harbor any disloyalty, this Strange Fire will scorch your spirit until you fully submit."
Yun Yun felt a tightening in her chest; she understood Shui Wuya's meaning and dared not harbor any doubts. Quickly, she clasped her hands together and earnestly replied, "Disciple will never have any second thoughts and will serve Master diligently from now on."
Shui Wuya nodded gently, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes. He knew his methods had worked; at least for the time being, Yun Yun would not waver in her loyalty.
"Good, you may leave now."
Shui Wuyou's voice remained calm, but it carried an undeniable authority.
Although Yun Yun felt a sense of unease, she respectfully withdrew, knowing she could not challenge Shui Wuya's authority.
In the cave, Xiao Yan addressed Shui Wuya, "Master, I need to return to Wutan City to attend my family's coming-of-age ceremony."
Shui Wuya nodded slightly. "Alright, let's go back."
The group then set off, quickly heading towards Wutan City, their figures vanishing swiftly into the forest.
Meanwhile, in the courtyard of the Yunlan Sect, a path of green stone was lined with blooming flowers and grass, exuding a faint fragrance.
A gentle breeze rustled through the trees, casting dappled shadows, creating a scene of tranquility and harmony.
Yun Yun returned to the Yunlan Sect.
As soon as she arrived, Gu He eagerly sought her out, curiosity shining in his eyes.
"Sect Leader, did you manage to obtain the accompanying purple crystal source?" Gu He's voice brimmed with anticipation.
Yun Yun's expression darkened, a look of annoyance on her face as she replied, "Is that the only thing you can think of when I get back?"
Realizing he had misspoken, Gu He awkwardly laughed. "Sect Leader, please don't blame me."
His curiosity, however, only intensified as he asked, "Sect Leader, did something happen on your trip?"
Yun Yun sighed, knowing that Gu He was quite the gossip and that she would likely not escape without sharing details this time.
"Don't ask about things you shouldn't, Gu He."
Gu He, seeing her reaction, became even more excited and queried, "Could it be that something truly happened?"
Yun Yun gritted her teeth and said, "Stop asking!"
"Uh..."
Seeing Yun Yun's serious demeanor, Gu He realized he had pushed too far and retreated obediently.
Afterward, Yun Yun changed into an elegant long robe and, as usual, began her patrol around the sect. Her gaze swept over each disciple with a mix of warmth and seriousness.
Her disciple, Nalan Yanran, was diligently training in a nearby courtyard, enveloped in a faint glow, exuding a steady aura and focused expression.
Suddenly, Nalan Yanran sensed her master's presence, looked up, and saw Yun Yun approaching gracefully.
Instantly, she joyfully rushed over, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.
"Master, do you think I've made significant progress recently?" Nalan Yanran inquired eagerly, her face beaming with a smile.
