Yun Qingluan glanced at Gu Xian'er and Gu Fengyao, hesitating for a moment before tentatively asking, "Earlier, before entering the city, I heard you mention the top-ranked prodigy on the Heavenly Pride Leaderboard."
"Do you... know him?"
As expected, it was about Chen Chang'an!
Yun Qingluan's response confirmed that her special attention toward them was indeed because of Chen Chang'an.
However, it was still unclear what relationship existed between Yun Qingluan and Chen Chang'an.
"You mean Chen Chang'an, the number one on the Heavenly Pride Leaderboard?" Gu Xian'er asked.
"Exactly."
"My name is Gu Xian'er. Chen Chang'an... is my young master. I am his maidservant."
A maidservant?
Yun Qingluan never expected that Gu Xian'er was actually her master's maidservant!
"My name is Gu Fengyao. Originally, I had the status of a fiancée, but Chang'an-gege seemed a bit reluctant about it."
"Anyway, we’re very close."
"And you?"
Hearing Gu Fengyao's words, Yun Qingluan was even more astonished. A former fiancée? That would make her her future master’s wife!
At this point, Yun Qingluan didn’t dare to be careless and quickly replied, "My name is Yun Qingluan. Chen Chang'an is my master."
Her master, Chen Chang'an?
So she was Chen Chang'an’s disciple?
Chen Yunxuan and the others, who had been observing from a distance, immediately approached upon hearing this.
"Who would’ve thought Master took on another disciple?"
"That makes you our junior sister, then."
"My name is Ye Zhiqiu. I suppose I’m your second senior brother."
"I’m Li Qiye, your third senior brother."
"My name is Chen Yunxuan. Chen Chang'an is the ancestor of my Chen family. I am his descendant and, in a way, his first disciple—so I’m your eldest senior brother."
Yun Qingluan never imagined that all these people were connected to Chen Chang'an.
And now, she suddenly had three senior brothers!
"Qingluan greets her three senior brothers," she said with a smile.
"No need for formalities, Junior Sister Qingluan. Do you know where Master is now?"
"If you're here, where is Master?"
"Is Master also in Liuyun Domain?" Ye Zhiqiu asked eagerly.
At this, Yun Qingluan shook her head helplessly. "Master and I parted ways a long time ago."
"I came to Liuyun Domain this time mainly because this is where Master achieved first place on the Heavenly Pride Leaderboard. I wanted to make a name for myself here."
"I hope I won’t disgrace Master."
Yun Qingluan’s motivation was the same as Chen Yunxuan and the others—they had come here because Chen Chang'an had once participated in the Heavenly Pride Leaderboard in this place.
"Can you tell us how you and Master met?"
"Of course."
Yun Qingluan recounted her past experiences, and Chen Yunxuan and the others listened attentively.
Unfortunately, she had no knowledge of what happened after Chen Chang'an left Xuantian Domain.
Over the years, Yun Qingluan had remained in Xuantian Domain’s Heavenly Pride City, continuously cultivating and challenging herself in the Heavenly Pride Tower.
Her rapid progress had astonished the entire Xuantian Domain.
"As expected of our junior sister. Your cultivation talent is truly terrifying."
"So, if we want to enter the Heavenly Pride Tower, we need to undergo testing first, right?" Chen Yunxuan asked.
"Correct. You must pass the test to qualify for entry into the Heavenly Pride Tower."
"However, I’ve already been tested in Xuantian Domain and secured a spot on the sub-ranking, so I don’t need to do it again."
Chen Yunxuan and the others nodded. They felt both nervous and excited about the upcoming test. After years of cultivation, they wondered if they would qualify for the Heavenly Pride Leaderboard.
After all, this was the Heavenly Pride Leaderboard—the standards here were much higher than in Xuantian Domain.
"Let’s all rest for a day. Tomorrow, we’ll go take the test."
"Agreed."
After a day of rest and preparation, the group headed straight to the testing hall in Heavenly Pride City the next day.
Curious about Chen Yunxuan and the others’ strength, Yun Qingluan accompanied them.
"I didn’t expect the testing hall to be so crowded."
"And there are three sections."
"Of course. This is one of the Ten Great Heavenly Pride Cities. Moreover, ever since Chen Chang'an claimed first place on the Heavenly Pride Leaderboard here, its reputation has grown even more. Over the years, more and more people have come."
Hearing this, Chen Yunxuan smiled and asked, "Brother, have you seen Chen Chang'an before?"
"Of course I have," the man replied proudly.
"Do you know where Chen Chang'an is now?"
"Well... I don’t know that."
"Not just me—even the people from Nine Clouds Immortal Sect have no idea."
Nine Clouds Immortal Sect?
"Brother, why specifically mention the Nine Clouds Immortal Sect?"
"You’re not from Liuyun Domain, are you? You don’t even know this?"
"Chen Chang'an is the Supreme Elder of the Nine Clouds Immortal Sect."
"Ever since he left Liuyun Domain, no one has known his whereabouts."
"All these years have passed, and no news has returned."
From this man’s words, Chen Yunxuan and the others learned that Chen Chang'an was also the Supreme Elder of the Nine Clouds Immortal Sect.
"Thank you."
"Are you here for the test?"
"Yes."
"Alright, the primary testing area is over there. With your cultivation levels, that’s where you should go."
"Thanks."
Exchanging glances, Chen Yunxuan and the others made their way to the primary testing area.
The line there was the longest, but they weren’t in a hurry. It gave them a chance to observe the results of others.
"Celestial Immortal Realm, First Layer, but combat power hasn’t even reached 100,000?"
"That’s a bit weak."
Yun Qingluan frowned slightly upon seeing one person’s test results. Back in Xuantian Domain, Yun Zhilan, at the Golden Immortal Realm’s Ninth Layer, had already achieved 99,999 stars.
"Weak?"
"What do you mean?"
"How am I weak?"
Already dissatisfied with his results, the man turned angrily toward Yun Qingluan upon hearing her remark.
"She’s not wrong. Why are you picking on a woman?"
"Exactly. If you’re weak, just admit it."
"What, you want to start a fight here?"
Naturally, Chen Yunxuan and the others wouldn’t let anyone bully their junior sister.
"Hmph!"
"Fine, then you try. Let’s see if you have the right to say such things."
Chen Yunxuan and the others exchanged glances, unfazed by the man’s challenge. Still, they were genuinely curious about what their own test results would be.
"No need to rush. You’ll find out soon enough," Chen Yunxuan said calmly.
"Fine. I’ll be waiting."
