Chapter 180 Yunxiao Sect
The tiny baby had survived. Including the cook, the Yunxiao Sect had fewer than a hundred members, all women. The sect had been passed down for over a hundred years, and all of them, including the Sect Master, were abandoned babies picked up by the previous Sect Master.
Therefore, everyone gets along very harmoniously, and is like the closest family to each other. This Yunxiao Sect is more like an orphanage.
Fortunately, the Yunxiao Sect still had some assets and could support many of its disciples. Senior Sister Yuncai and Second Senior Sister Yunxia had just returned from inspecting the sect's assets when they found a baby girl abandoned in the mountains.
Three years passed in the blink of an eye.
"Cancan, take a break! Master said too much is as bad as too little." Yun An looked at the three-year-old Yun Can, holding a small wooden sword, humming and hawing as she practiced behind them. His forehead was covered in sweat, so he quickly came over to wipe it off and took her to drink some water and rest.
"Senior Sister, I'm not tired." The little guy looked serious.
"I know, I know. Senior Sister, I'm tired. Cancan, can you accompany me to rest for a while?" Yun An knew Yun Can's temper very well.
"Okay, but you can't rest for too long!" This was Xiao Yuncan's insistence.
"Well, no." Yun An couldn't help but pinch Yun Can's little face. Yun Can frowned slightly, but what could his senior sister do?
Seeing Yuncan's frustrated look, Yunan felt even happier.
Life in the mountains was so leisurely and peaceful. Yun Can was born with excellent aptitude, high comprehension, and extremely diligent. Yun Chun was training her as the future sect leader.
At the age of ten, Yun Can was already very composed and his martial arts skills surpassed those of half of the other disciples.
If we follow the steps and pass it down from generation to generation, the Yunxiao Sect will develop very well.
But when Yun'an was eighteen, she went down the mountain with her senior sister for the first time to inspect the sect's assets. They also picked up someone. But it was a man.
The man was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a handsome appearance. He had multiple knife and sword wounds on his body. He lost too much blood and was in a coma for several days before waking up.
"You're awake." Yun An was delighted to see the man on the bed wake up.
"Who are you?" Yun An brought the water over, but the man shrank back and looked at Yun An warily.
"I'm Yun'an. You were injured and fainted at the foot of the mountain, so I brought you back. My junior sister is a good doctor. She said you would wake up today, and sure enough, you woke up." Yun'an didn't notice the man's vigilance at all.
"In that case, thank you very much for saving my life."
"You're welcome. Master said saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. You've been unconscious for several days. I'll ask my junior sister to come check on you and bring you a bowl of hot porridge."
"Thank you, young lady."
Yun An skipped out. The man on the bed carefully surveyed the room. It wasn't large and a bit dated, but it was very clean. Seeing the dressing table over there, he knew it was a woman's room.
The bed was very soft, and the quilt on my body had a sun-dried smell.
"Knock, knock, knock." Yun Can heard Yun An's chattering and knew that this person had woken up.
"Come in." The man's cold voice sounded. Yun Can pushed the door open and walked in. He walked straight to the bedside and took the man's pulse.
"You have mostly suffered external injuries and have lost too much blood. Once you wake up, your life will be fine and you just need to be well taken care of. But sir, you are dressed in extraordinary clothes and the injuries on your body are not caused by ordinary people. I can only take you in for another three days." Yun Can said directly.
"This is already very good." The man thought this was the best.
With Yun'an taking care of him, no one else in the sect came to disturb him.
Three days later.
"Junior sister, he is so badly injured. It's not a good idea to send him away so soon." Yun An looked at the man who was going down the mountain alone. He felt a little sorry for his difficult appearance.
"Taking him in is already an exception. Senior Sister, the safety of the sect is more important." Yun Can looked at Yun An with a stern gaze. Those dark, bright eyes made Yun An's heart skip a beat.
"Okay, okay, I was wrong. I won't bring anyone back casually again. I promise." Yun An raised his hand as if swearing.
"Well, you go back first." After Yun Can said that, Yun An went back obediently.
Yun Can tiptoed to catch up with the young man and pressed his sleep-inducing acupoint. He led his men down the mountain at a rapid pace. They arrived at a nearby town, found an inn, and settled the men there.
He carefully returned to the foot of the mountain and erased all traces of the young master. He also changed the way up the mountain before returning to the Yunxiao Sect with peace of mind.
"Where have you been?" Yuncai looked at Yuncan who had just returned from outside, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off her forehead.
"I just went down the mountain. By the way, senior sister, none of us is going out recently, right?" Yun Can asked.
"Well, this year's inspection is over, and the sect's supplies are ready. What's wrong?"
"Nothing, just asking." Yun Can shook his head. Ever since Senior Sister Yun An picked up that man, Yun Can had been feeling uneasy. He had done everything he could, so he could only take things one step at a time.
As it turned out, Yun Can's premonition was correct. The person Yun An picked up was a trouble. Even though she did so much, the entire mountain was still surrounded.
"Cancan, don't be impulsive. Those people are well-trained and obey orders. You can tell at a glance that they are military personnel." Yun Chun stopped Yun Can who was about to go down the mountain.
"We have to find out what their purpose is. They're probably here for that man from before, but we don't know if he's a friend or foe. Just in case, I'll go investigate. Master, you arrange for everyone to move to the secret passage. Nothing is more important than everyone's safety."
"Okay, then be careful. We'll wait for you at our base in He'an Town." Yun Chun knew Yun Can was right. Although Yun Can was still young, her strength was no less than hers. Her Qinggong skills were superb, and she was alert and calm. No one was more suitable to investigate than her.
"Cancan, you must take care of yourself." Yun An knew that it was all because of the person she picked up, and she felt very guilty, but now she couldn't hold Cancan back.
"Yeah!" Yun Can nodded, tapped his toes, and quickly went down the mountain.
"Believe me, Cancan. Now, we need to evacuate quickly." Yun Cai patted Yun An's shoulder.
"I know." Yun An turned around and quickly arranged for everyone to evacuate.
Yun Can had also carefully approached the people surrounding the mountain.
"Everyone, be careful. If that person is really here, we will burn the mountain down." The leader had a sinister expression.
"Yes." Those people scattered and carefully moved up the mountain.
"General, that guy is not a good person. If he is exposed this time, the third prince will be in danger." A man dressed as a scholar said in a low voice.
"He will never have the chance to go back. If you don't want him to go back, there is still the emperor." The general smiled wickedly.
"How could this happen?" the scholar was shocked. The general turned around and glanced at him.
"But the emperor is old, and our prince is so popular among the people. Isn't this courting death?"
Hearing what the two said, Yun Can was shocked. Could it be that Senior Sister Yun An saved the prince?
Their Yunxiao Sect was located near Hecheng, a city bordering the Eastern Cang and Northern Qi kingdoms. It was situated on Yunxiao Mountain, just east of Hecheng. Yunxiao Mountain was extremely tall, with rolling hills. Few people had ever set foot there.
The emperor of Northern Qi ascended the throne just last year, and he has only two sons and one daughter, all of whom are still young.
So, the people coming this time were from Dongcang. Dongcang's crown prince, Cang Hua, was a man of both civil and military talents. He had fought on the battlefield at the age of fifteen, conquering every battle and winning every battle. He was the crown prince of Dongcang and a god of war in the hearts of the people.
The Emperor is aging, while the Crown Prince's prestige is at its peak. The struggle for the crown prince is already fraught with the loss of countless lives. Furthermore, the power-hungry old Emperor is also involved. Without a father and son in the royal family, Cang Hua's safe return to Dongli City will be difficult.
Once this group of people confirms that Cang Hua has really appeared in Yunxiao Sect, the Yunxiao Sect will definitely be destroyed.
