Chapter 145 If I don’t fight, it would be too inhumane!
As the commander of the Royal Guard, it is natural for Yao Ye to have some special intelligence.

That's why Yaoye knew that Nalan Yanran was defeated by Yang Shan in Yunshuang City.

Yao Ye is somewhat interested in Yang Shan.

So when they first met, she appeared very polite, without any airs of a princess at all.

However, Yao Ye's understanding of Yang Shan was limited to some information, and the fact that he kicked Mu Zhan away at the Miter Auction House last time.

If possible, Yao Ye would naturally want to contact Yang Shan again later.

But he was only communicating in his own capacity and could never represent the royal family.

After all, in the Jiama Empire, the royal family is undoubtedly the highest in status! (The former leader of the Yunlan Sect, Yunshan, has not appeared for many years, so the Yunlan Sect is not as high as the royal family on the surface.)
But now Nalan Yanran came to me on her own initiative, what was going on?

Didn’t the intelligence say that Nalan Yanran lost to Yang Shan in Yunshuang City?
Shouldn't the two of them have a bad relationship?
But from what Nalan Yanran said, Yang Shan had just returned, and Nalan Yanran rushed over without stopping after receiving the news.

The reason is just
Invite Yang Shan to dinner?

The two sisters Yaoye and Yaoyue secretly exchanged glances.

The two women's heads are buzzing.

This is Nalan Yanran!

The dream lover of all the disciples of Yunlan Sect!
Normally, it seems like there is no room for men in her eyes.

Take the initiative to invite a man to dinner?
Is the world changing so fast?
Yang Shan also knew that it was time to fulfill his promise of a meal.

"Ms. Nalan, I just returned to the Holy City of Gama, so I didn't make it in time."

Nalan Yanran looked at Yaoye and Yaoyue cautiously.

Nalan Yanran knew very well how strong Yang Shan was and how great his future potential was.

Why are Yaoye and Yaoyue here?
Feeling some hostility in Nalan Yanran's eyes, Yao Ye also wondered in his heart:
"It's okay for Ya Fei, but Nalan Yanran's attitude is so kind. Is this person really so mysterious?"

Yang Shan stood up and said:

"My two princesses, I must take my leave now."

Yao Ye nodded faintly:

"Please feel free to do as you please, Young Master Yang."

Towards Bafang: "Great God, I, I will take you there?"

Zhu Tianpeng pulled Chao Bafang back.

Although he didn't say anything, he sent a message in the group chat:

"Banfang, are you stupid? Brother Yang is going to pick up girls, what are you going there for? To be a bodyguard?"

Yang Shan replied:
"You two should take good care of the two sisters Yaoye and Yaoyue, and be happy following the royal family. But remember what I said, don't rashly agree to join the royal family!"

Then, Yang Shan looked at Nalan Yanran and said with a faint smile:
"This meal has indeed been delayed for a long time. As an apology, let me treat you."

This is a dinner party with royal sisters, Yang Shan can leave at any time, Nalan Yanran can't hide the joy on her face:
"It's my treat, so come with me."

[Ding! Nalan Yanran's favorability +1, current favorability: 32. ]

After Yang Shan and Nalan Yanran left, Yaoyue pulled Yaoye's hand and whispered:
"Sister, leave him alone and ask him. Aren't you curious?"

Yaoye gently tapped Yaoyue's forehead:

"Sister, remember, we are the direct descendants of the royal family. We should have the dignity of the royal family. Even if we want to contact them, we cannot show any urgency. In the Jia Ma Empire, who doesn't want to join the royal family?"

Yaoyue: "Yes, some people like to join the Yunlan Sect."

Yaoye: "."

As soon as Yang Shan left the restaurant, Chao Bafang sent a message in the group chat:

"Ah! Master! Yaoye came to me to ask about you. She wants to invite you for tea! Ahhhh"

Needless to say, the last "ah" would definitely sound miserable and desolate if it was shouted out by Xiang Bafang himself.

Yang Shan replied:

"What's going on? Yaoye and Yaoyue came to you today on their own initiative. Why are they targeting me again?"

Zhu Tianpeng: "Brother Yang, Bafang and I only have a dozen points of favorability with the royal sisters. It's mainly because these two princesses want us to join the royal family, so we walk more diligently."

Yang Shan suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's it"

Nalan Yanran took the initiative to find Yang Shan when she only had a few points of favorability.

The purpose is also to persuade Yang Shan to join the Nalan family.

Therefore, many times, the behavior of NPCs is not necessarily completely linked to their favorability.

Zhu Tianpeng obviously knows more than Chao Bafang, because he didn't have much favorability with Hai Bodong at the beginning.

Hai Bodong valued Zhu Tianpeng's talent and wanted to see if he was qualified to inherit his old friend's skills, so he took extra care of Zhu Tianpeng.

Yang Shan: "Just do your best, the two of you. I don't want to have any contact with the royal family for now."

The royal family’s resources are certainly good.

But you can't chew too much.

Black Horn Region, Miter Family, Yang Shan is already busy enough.

Besides, when Hai Bodong returns, the Miter family is destined to rise. As a business family, Miter's resources will not be much worse than those of the royal family.

If you go to the royal family again, you have to at least improve the favorability of a certain senior royal family member before you can get some really good things.

It’s better not to bother.

The Soul Palace smells so good!
Yang Shan followed Nalan Yanran to a quiet courtyard.

Nalan Yanran introduced:
"This is the reward my grandfather gave me after I broke through to the Douling realm."

Looking at the relatively quiet courtyard and the tea sets placed on the stone table, Yang Shan asked:

"Aren't you going to eat?"

Nalan Yanran: "Of course we have to eat, but Young Master Yang just ate, so he shouldn't be hungry right now. How about we have a sparring match to help digest the food?" Yang Shan would be able to hear Nalan Yanran's plan clearly even if he ran back to the Black Horn Region.

Eating is fake.

The itching hands are real!
After being defeated in Yunshuang City last time, Nalan Yanran was no longer angry.

But she has a spirit of not giving up.

So she practiced harder than before, just to defeat Yang Shan once.

Otherwise, Nalan Yanran felt that no matter how many years passed in the future, the knife at her throat would always be imprinted in her mind.

This is the pride that Nalan Yanran has built up since childhood.

It should be flawless like jade and should not have any cracks.

But Yang Shan's answer surprised Nalan Yanran:

"I haven't even eaten two bites yet and you're here. I'm really hungry. Let's serve the food first. Miss Nalan is very powerful. I have to admit she's better than me."

What level is Nalan Yanran now?
Four-star fighting spirit!

Gold lettering!

His combat power is probably not much different from Fan Ling whom he met in the Black Horn Region before.

Nalan Yanran is no longer the arrogant and spoiled little girl she used to be in Yunshuang City.

As Nalan Yanran was on high alert, it was easy to imagine how difficult it would be to defeat her.

Besides, Yang Shan's initial strike was purely because he wanted to get rid of Nalan Yanran.

But who would have thought that the situation would develop to this point?
That knife has probably become Nalan Yanran's inner demon. If it is not eliminated, Nalan Yanran's future cultivation path will be more difficult.

Do you want to get rid of your inner demon just by having a meal?

What a joke!
Unless he comes up with something good, Yang Shan will never agree to fight with Nalan Yanran again!
Nalan Yanran hesitated for a long time before asking:

"Last time in Yunshuang City, I asked you to spar with me, and you agreed. Why don't you agree now?"

Good question!

Good question!
Yang Shan was waiting for Nalan Yanran to say this:
"Last time? Last time we had an argument. That was a gambling fight, which is different from sparring."

Yang Shan waved his hand:

"Eat, I won't fight."

Nalan Yanran: "Young Master Yang"

"Then why not have another fight?"

A breeze blew in the courtyard for no reason.

Looking at the graceful figure that suddenly appeared in the courtyard, Nalan Yanran quickly bowed her head and saluted:

"Disciple pays homage to Master!"

She was dressed in a green robe and a plain skirt, looking graceful and elegant.

She is as beautiful as a fairy, with a look of calmness and tranquility, and she seems to be detached from the world like a fairy.

Yang Shan only took a glance, then looked away and saluted:
"Junior, greetings to Sect Master Yun Yun!"

Yun Yun first raised her hand, using her fighting spirit to stimulate her soft power, and helped Nalan Yanran up. Then she looked at Yang Shan and asked:
"Is this the young man who defeated you with one blow?"

Nalan Yanran: "Yes!"

Yang Shan: "Sect Master Yun Yun, I was lucky with that blow."

"I know Yanran's strength. Even though she was a little too eager for success and didn't master her fighting skills, her Qingfeng Sword is not something that anyone can break!"

As Yun Yun spoke, the serene expression on her face never changed.

It seemed that she was happy to accept Nalan Yanran's failure.

Yun Yun took out a piece of strange metal ore that looked like silver from the ring. Yang Shan could feel the power of thunder contained in this metal ore.

"If you win, this silver will be yours."

Electric silver!

An extremely precious, top-grade casting material that can be used to make top-grade equipment, and the print is at least purple!

A smile appeared on Yang Shan's originally calm face:
"Since Sect Master Yun Yun has said so, it would be inhumane of me if I don't fight him."

But Yang Shan understood that since it was a gambling fight, he had to come up with something that was valuable enough to match the Qingdian silver.

Yang Shan reported his bet:

"Ten Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pills and twenty Bone Shaping Pills, how about that?"

For Nalan Yanran, she should have no shortage of these two kinds of elixirs.

But in terms of value alone, it may not be as good as the Qingdian Silver, but it is not far behind.

After all, if metal ore is to be cast into equipment, a master of casting is needed!
At the very least, you need a fourth-grade caster. If you want to be on the safe side, a fifth-grade caster would be best!

Such a blacksmith is definitely a big shot in the Gama Empire. In terms of status alone, he is only slightly inferior to Fa Ma, the president of the Alchemist Guild!
Seeing that Yang Shan mentioned the elixir as soon as he opened his mouth, Yun Yun asked:

"Are you an alchemist?"

Yang Shan: “Fourth rank.”

Yun Yun's expression then changed slightly.

You know, although alchemy and cultivation have something in common, if you want to take care of both, the time and energy required will almost double.

He has the cultivation level of a two-star Dou Ling and is also a fourth-rank alchemist!
Yun Yun couldn't help but look at Yang Shan with higher regard.

"You don't need that many pills. If you lose, go to Yunlan Sect and practice with Yanran. Half a month will be enough."
