BTTH: DISCIPLE CASHBACK SYSTEM

Chapter 403: Preparation!

In the Nine-Colored Valley behind the Yunlan Sect, inside an elegantly ancient small building, Yun Yun, dressed in a thin, white, gauzy robe with slightly tousled hair, wrapped her arms around Gu He’s slender neck and softly said, “Husband, today is the day of Yanran’s duel with the young one from the Xiao family. Shouldn’t we go and take a look?”

Inhaling the sweet fragrance emanating from his beloved, Gu He shook his head with a look of contentment and said, “This is a matter between the younger generation. If we, as elders, go, others might think the Yunlan Sect is using our power to pressure them. However… we should pay a little attention to the soul entity that the Xiao family boy carries with him.”

“A soul entity is following the Xiao family boy?” Yun Yun asked, surprised. “What is the strength of this soul entity? Could it secretly help the Xiao family boy against Yanran?”

“That soul entity is an old man. As for his strength… he can only exert low-level Dou Ancestor power at most. But as I see it, he wouldn’t intervene unless the Xiao family boy truly faced a severe crisis,” Gu He explained.

“No, that won’t do. If that soul entity remains with the Xiao family boy, and if he holds a grudge due to any injury or other reason from the duel, he might seize an opportunity to harm Yanran, and we wouldn’t be able to prevent it in time,” Yun Yun said urgently after hearing Gu He’s explanation.

“Hm, you’re absolutely right, Yun’er. I was being too careless!”

Reflecting on Yun Yun’s analysis, Gu He felt a slight pang of guilt. Although it was highly unlikely that Yao Lao would interfere, one should never place faith in the uncontrollable.

However, with Yao Lao residing in Xiao Yan’s ring, Gu He couldn’t very well show up and demand that Yao Lao leave Xiao Yan temporarily. If he did, both Yao Lao and Xiao Yan would likely be too intimidated to focus on the duel.

“I’ve got it!”

After some thought, Gu He finally came up with the perfect solution.

“Husband, what did you think of?” Yun Yun’s eyes were filled with anticipation as she watched Gu He.

Under her gaze, Gu He suddenly produced a pure white inner armor. The armor was made of fine, soft material and was clearly designed specifically for women.

“Husband, are you planning to give this inner armor to Yanran?”

Knowing that Gu He often had mysterious treasures on hand, Yun Yun guessed, “This inner armor must possess impressive defensive power, right?”

“Yes!”

“This inner armor doesn’t have exceptionally strong defensive power, only enough to withstand three attacks from someone below the Dou Venerate level. However, it has a unique feature—if the wearer is attacked by someone below Dou King level, it won’t activate. But if a force exceeding Dou King, reaching Dou Emperor or even Dou Ancestor level, attacks, a thick white energy layer will immediately shield the wearer’s entire body…” Gu He explained patiently while holding the white inner armor.

“This white armor has such a remarkable effect… With it, that soul entity accompanying the Xiao family boy won’t be able to harm Yanran.”

Hearing Gu He’s explanation of the inner armor, Yun Yun finally felt relieved about Nalan Yanran facing Xiao Yan in the duel.

“Well, now that we have a solution, Yun’er, take this inner armor to Yanran. It’s getting late, and she should be on her way!”

As this was a piece of close-fitting armor designed for women, it was naturally inappropriate for Gu He to give it to Nalan Yanran himself. Yun Yun was the perfect choice for the task.

After storing the armor handed to her by Gu He, Yun Yun changed her clothes and swiftly left the room. By then, Nalan Yanran was already waiting quietly outside the small building.

“Master’s wife!”

Seeing Yun Yun come out, Nalan Yanran bowed respectfully.

"Yanran, come with me!" Yun Yun gestured, leading Nalan Yanran into the main hall of the small building.

"Martial Aunt, where is my master?"

Looking around, Nalan Yanran didn’t see Gu He’s figure, so she curiously asked.

"Your master probably hasn’t gotten up yet!" Yun Yun replied casually to Nalan Yanran’s question. Without delay, she took out the white inner armor Gu He had given her.

"Yanran, you’ll be dueling the Xiao family boy soon. Take this inner armor and wear it," Yun Yun said calmly.

"This inner armor!"

Seeing the style of the inner armor that Yun Yun handed over, Nalan Yanran’s cheeks turned slightly red. However, the blush only lasted a moment before her face returned to normal.

"Martial Aunt, is this inner armor meant for my protection? There’s no need for you to worry. I’m already at the Dou King level, and if Xiao Yan can reach the level of a Dou Grandmaster, that’s already impressive. Today’s duel is no challenge at all!" Nalan Yanran said with great confidence, her attitude vastly different from three years ago.

Hearing Nalan Yanran’s words, Yun Yun chose not to mention the Dou Ancestor-level soul entity with Xiao Yan and instead pretended to be upset, saying, "Whether or not it’s for protection, it’s a gift from your Martial Aunt. What? Do you think it’s not good enough?"

At this, Nalan Yanran panicked slightly and said hurriedly, "No, no… Martial Aunt, please don’t misunderstand. How could I dislike a gift from you?"

"If you don’t dislike it, then hurry up and put it on!" Yun Yun pressed, handing the white inner armor to Nalan Yanran again.

Taking the inner armor, Nalan Yanran hesitated slightly, then asked, "Martial Aunt, should I change here?"

"Yes, there’s no one else here but you and me in this hall!" Yun Yun confirmed confidently.

"Alright!"

Hearing this, Nalan Yanran stopped hesitating, quickly removed her outer clothing and the inner armor she had been wearing, and put on the pure white inner armor.

"Yanran, now that you’ve changed, hurry up and go. Don’t be late!" Watching Nalan Yanran put on the inner armor that Gu He had provided, Yun Yun finally relaxed.

"Understood, Martial Aunt. I’ll take my leave now!"

Nalan Yanran bowed to Yun Yun and then slowly exited the hall.

At this moment, Liu Ling, Xiao Yixian, and Qing Lin had also arrived outside the small building where Gu He and Yun Yun resided.

"Senior Brother, Second Senior Sister, Little Junior Sister, you’re all here!"

Seeing the three of them, Nalan Yanran’s face brightened with a smile, and she greeted them warmly.

"Of course, Yanran. Today is your duel with Xiao Yan. Senior Brother, Sister Xian’er, and Little Sister Qing Lin are all here to support you!"
