Jian Wufeng looked at Yi Yun and waited for his answer.
Yi Yun had a good first impression of Jian Wufeng. However, when Jian Wufeng asked him who his master was, Yi Yun was somewhat hesitant. Although the 12 Empyrean Heavens were separated by a great distance, Felicitous Rain Lord was a Divine Lord of the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven. He was likely quite famous, so it was possible that people would know of Felicitous Rain Lord's name.
As Felicitous Rain Lord's disciple, it was hard to explain why he had come from the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven to the Yang God Empyrean Heaven. It was possible that it would invite unnecessary trouble.
Upon seeing Yi Yun's hesitation, Jian Wufeng came to a realization. He said with a smile, "It's a little abrupt for me to ask you about your master on our first meeting. I can see that you aren't that old. My disciple, Jian Xiaoshuang, has not cultivated for long either. She barely has some achievements, so she can interact with you."
As Jian Wufeng spoke, he glanced at Jian Xiaoshuang and said, "Xiaoshuang, why don't you get to know Young Master Yi?"
When Jian Wufeng said that, Jian Xiaoshuang felt a little depressed. She was proud and arrogant. If not for the phenomenon in Sun Burial Sandsea, she would not have wanted to interact with the native warriors of Sun Burial Sandsea.
Her cultivation talent was impressive. Even in the Clarity Pool Sword Sect, which was filled with geniuses, she was considered a genius that only appeared once in ten thousand years. As she was famous, many sects had come to propose marriage. The people who wanted to marry her were all young geniuses with illustrious backgrounds and outstanding talent from large sects. However, she had no interest in any of them. She got her master to reject all of them, and Jian Wufeng was happy to do so. No matter how valuable the betrothal gifts were, they were all returned.
But now, Jian Wufeng wanted her to take the initiative to get to know a stranger of the opposite sex. His words seemed to indicate that he thought highly of the young man. Jian Xiaoshuang was extremely unwilling.
Wasn't this person a native warrior of Sun Burial Sandsea? He had a master of unknown origins and was without a sect. To put it bluntly, wasn't he an itinerant warrior with the lowest standing in the martial world without any backing?
Of course, due to her master's exhortations, Jian Xiaoshuang still bowed. Yi Yun politely returned the bow.
As Yi Yun returned the greeting, he heard Ji Shuiyan's Yuan Qi voice transmission. She quickly explained the situation of the Clarity Pool Sword Sect, as well as the identities of Jian Xiaoshuang and Jian Wufeng. The two of them were no trifling matter. Ji Shuiyan did not know why Jian Wufeng and Jian Xiaoshuang had come and was worried that Yi Yun would neglect them.
Yi Yun smiled. Having been in Jade Luster City for so many years, Ji Shuiyan had long developed a careful personality.
Jian Wufeng nodded in satisfaction at Jian Xiaoshuang's bow. He said, "Xiaoshuang has been cultivating for more than sixty years. I wonder how old you are?"
When Jian Wufeng said that, everyone was even more astonished. Many of the people present, including the native and external factions of Sun Burial Sandsea, could not help but pay attention.
Jian Wufeng's question was a little odd. It was already unusual for Jian Xiaoshuang to take the initiative to befriend Yi Yun. Furthermore, he had taken the initiative to mention Jian Xiaoshuang's age and ask about the age difference — only a matchmaker would ask such a question, right?
Of course, Jian Wufeng was usually cold and arrogant. Although his question was odd, no one believed that Jian Wufeng was thinking of marrying his disciple to Yi Yun. Jian Xiaoshuang's talent was too high and she came from a good background. The difference in their statuses was just too great.
Yi Yun hesitated for a moment. He had concealed his master, Felicitous Rain Lord, so there was no need for him to hide his age. He said vaguely, "I haven't cultivated for more than a hundred years."
Less than a hundred years was already quite high.
However, when Yi Yun said that, most of the people present were stunned.
Although Yi Yun had just arrived in Jade Luster City, he had previously smacked the Heaven Amplification Trading Company in the face. External factions did not understand Yi Yun, but any well-informed native faction of Jade Luster City knew that the Divine Secrets Trading Company had recruited a powerful guest.
Not only was the person powerful, he was also ruthless. He was decisive in killing and his cultivation level was unfathomable. Everyone's impression of Yi Yun was that he was an old man who had cultivated for a very long time. He had only used a mystic technique to maintain his youthful looks. This was also the reason why many people believed that Yi Yun and Jian Xiaoshuang's statuses were so different.
But now, Yi Yun was saying that he had cultivated for less than a hundred years?
Was that a joke?
Wasn't less than a hundred years a young junior? How could he have such strength?
Many people did not believe Yi Yun's words. Yan Tiancong scoffed. He was already three hundred years old. If Yi Yun had such strength in less than a hundred years, wouldn't he have lived his three hundred years like a dog?
"This person is too shameless. He deliberately belittled his age to befriend Fairy Xiaoshuang," said Yan Tiancong disdainfully.
Yan Tiancong said disdainfully. Many people secretly agreed with his words.
In fact, many people's cultivation level and bone age could be roughly determined based on experience and perception. However, if one cultivated in a particular mystic technique and deliberately concealed it, it would not be easy to see through it.
They believed that Yi Yun was in such a situation.
"Less than a hundred years. Alright." Jian Wufeng did not doubt Yi Yun's words at all. "Since you are close in age to Xiaoshuang, the two of you can spar. I wonder what you think, young friend?"
Jian Wufeng suddenly spoke. The reason why he had asked the question was so that Yi Yun could spar with Jian Xiaoshuang. Yi Yun did not mention his master, but he could sense a familiar aura from Yi Yun. He wanted to use Yi Yun's moves to figure out why Yi Yun was in such a state.
And at that moment, Yi Yun had the same thoughts. In fact, he already had some guesses.
He suspected that the so-called Clarity Pool Sword Sect was a descendant of the Azure Yang Lord's heritage. It could even be a direct descendant of the Azure Yang Lord!
Tens of millions of years ago, the Azure Yang Lord established a massive divine empire in the Yang God Empyrean Heaven's Central State Divine Territory. However, he was eventually harmed by someone, causing his cultivation level to plummet and his strength to be greatly reduced. From the Yang God Empyrean Heaven, he came to the Tian Yuan world and befriended the ancient Great Empress. He then joined forces with the ancient Great Empress to seal the seven Demon Gods, leaving behind the Great Empress mystic realm before perishing.
Yi Yun and Lin Xintong had entered the Great Empress mystic realm and obtained a portion of the Azure Yang Lord's heritage. Back then, the heritage had saved Yi Yun's life. If not for it, Shen Tu Nantian would have taken Yi Yun's life.
Later on, the God Advent Tower that the Azure Yang Lord passed down had saved Yi Yun numerous times. Yi Yun was deeply grateful to the Azure Yang Lord.
He had once made up his mind that if he came to the 12 Empyrean Heavens, he would definitely avenge the Azure Yang Lord and investigate the truth behind his death.
And now, Yi Yun had found the Azure Yang Lord's descendants. He naturally would not miss the opportunity to get to know them.
The Azure Yang Lord's descendants led a better life than Yi Yun imagined. However, compared to the divine empire that the Azure Yang Lord established, it was far inferior.
To a knowledgeable person like Yi Yun, the Clarity Pool Sword Sect was just a sect that wasn't too bad. It was a sect that had a promising future.
However, Yi Yun could not directly inquire about the other party's identity.
The title of the Azure Yang Lord was rather sensitive. Tens of millions of years ago, he had been pursued. Now, with the passage of time, the situation in the Central State Divine Territory had probably changed quite a bit. However, it was still unknown if the Azure Yang Lord's enemies controlled this place. Yi Yun could not directly ask if the other party was related to the Azure Yang Lord.
What if they were unrelated? If the matter were to be leaked, he might even be embroiled in trouble.
It was best to probe the other party bit by bit.
Upon thinking of this, Yi Yun said, "Thanks to Senior Wufeng's appreciation, this junior is willing to spar with Fairy Xiaoshuang."
"That's great!" Jian Wufeng was delighted as he said directly, "There's still some time before the auction begins. Why don't we begin now?"
Upon hearing Jian Wufeng's words, Yi Yun was taken aback. Jian Wufeng's character was truly swift and decisive. Whatever he said, he would do it immediately.
Yi Yun could not help but ask, "Here?"
Yi Yun had some qualms about sparring in public. He did not know if he would be recognized by others if he used the Azure Yang Lord's sword moves, resulting in unnecessary trouble.
