One could say that this was another form of power Ye Luo had witnessed!

Upon seeing his own Guard being defeated so swiftly, Li Shao’s face changed again and again.

"You, you actually dare to lay a hand on me, fine, fine, Yun Liancheng. You too, all of you, just wait, I will not let today’s matter slide so easily!"

Having said that, Li Shao fled in a sorry state, not even bothering about his Guards!

It was only then that Yun Liancheng retracted his white mist Domain.

Ye Luo approached him and said, "What’s wrong, feeling a bit upset?"

Yun Liancheng lifted his head, looked at Ye Luo, and shook his head helplessly: "Forget it, let’s not talk about it."

"By the way, it seems you can’t stay here any longer. Li Yuanjie is one to hold grudges. He won’t let today’s matter go just like that. I think it’s best if you leave Yunkai City!"

Ye Luo knew that Yun Liancheng meant well, but was Ye Luo the kind of person who would only run from trouble?

It could be said that if Yun Liancheng hadn’t taken action first, it would have been Ye Luo who taught Li Yuanjie a lesson.

Ye Luo just smiled faintly and casually tossed the model of Yunqi Villa to Yun Liancheng, then said, "This time you acted first. If he dares to come again, it’ll be my turn to teach him a lesson!"

Looking uncertain, Yun Liancheng examined Ye Luo. In his eyes, Ye Luo should be an ordinary person with no backing whatsoever, having some cultivation skills but still likely no match for Li Yuanjie, which naturally left him puzzled at this moment.

"Do you know that Li Yuanjie’s father is a Commandery Prince? On that account, he could be barely considered as part of the Royal Family!"

Ye Luo looked at Yun Liancheng with a puzzled expression and said indifferently, "Oh, so what?"

So what?

Yun Liancheng felt somewhat flustered!

What sort of response was that? That’s the son of a Commandery Prince! Why was Ye Luo so nonchalant?

"Never mind, let’s not talk about that. I saw how excited you were seeing this manor, why so? Although the environment is quite nice, there seems to be nothing particularly special about it, why do you care so much?"

Ye Luo diverted the subject; the son of a Commandery Prince was nothing of concern to him.

Instead, Ye Luo was more intrigued why Yun Liancheng cared so much about Yunqi Manor.

Unable to continue, Yun Liancheng didn’t pursue the topic, considering Ye Luo was so confident there must be a reason he was not concerned—perhaps Yun Liancheng was overthinking.

When Ye Luo brought up Yunqi Manor, Yun Liancheng’s expression revealed a troubled look as he said with some melancholy, "This Yunqi Manor indeed holds special significance for me, alas, let’s not talk about it. Since you took interest in this manor before me, I seemed to have coveted what others fancy. However, this manor really is of special significance to me. How about this, once I buy this manor, I’ll invite you as my first guest, what do you say?"

In the Great Tang Empire, there’s a tradition that if you’re invited as the first guest to someone’s new residence, it’s a sign of recognition.

This was something Ye Luo had heard Nalan Chen mention casually before.

Therefore, he knew that it’s best not to refuse such an invitation, as refusing would suggest you look down on the other person.

"Alright, since that’s the case, I shall not refrain from accepting the offer!" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Soon, Yun Liancheng took care of the procedures, and since Ye Luo did not find a satisfactory manor, he did not purchase one. Instead, he followed Yun Liancheng to Yunqi Manor.

One must admit that the environment of Yunqi Manor is indeed extraordinary; the surrounding sea of clouds invokes a sense of sudden clarity and openness.

Moreover, upon entering the manor, one can feel a faintly distinct aura—this is the power of the Cloud Law.

Ye Luo had never encountered the Cloud Law power, so his feelings towards it were not profound yet. However, Yun Liancheng was cultivating the Cloud Power himself, so at the moment, he felt incredibly comfortable.

"Look, Ye Luo, this place is indeed where my mother used to live. The Cloud Law power here is so rich and the sensation it brings is most comforting! Sadly, it seems that this aura was left a long time ago, hence it’s somewhat faint now!"

Hearing Yun Liancheng’s words, Ye Luo couldn’t help but feel curious about Yun Liancheng’s mother. Just by staying here, she left such a lingering and rich aura, which clearly indicated that Yun Liancheng’s mother was definitely a strong figure!

Moreover, she was likely an absolute powerhouse. It was just unknown why Yun Liancheng was searching for traces of his mother!

"That said, Brother Yun, I have a query which I’m not sure whether it’s appropriate to ask?"

Ye Luo spoke to Yun Liancheng.

But Yun Liancheng simply smiled gently: "Brother Ye, you want to ask about my mother, right? It’s fine, in fact, even I don’t know what kind of person I am right now. Perhaps you won’t believe it, but I, myself, have never met my mother personally!"

"How can that be?"

Ye Luo grew even more puzzled, it seemed that Yun Liancheng indeed had a story to tell!

"Alas, Brother Ye, have you ever heard of the Cloud Clan among the different races?"

Different race?

There were countless races in the Martial Realm, something that Ye Luo was aware of. However, he had never heard of the Cloud Clan.

"Could it be that Brother Yun’s mother is a member of the Cloud Clan?"

"Correct, Brother Ye. My mother was sent as an emissary to the Great Tang Empire by the Cloud Clan back in the day. She fell in love with my father, but as you know, in the Great Tang, intermarriage with any different race is forbidden. Moreover, the Cloud Clan holds a noble status. Therefore, both family clans opposed this association. It even alarmed His Majesty the Emperor..."

"If it weren’t for the Cloud Clan’s rule to never harm their progeny under any circumstances, I might not have lived to this day! But my father was also stripped of his title and position, living in depression until he eventually died on the battlefield against the different races. I want to find my mother, no matter if I have to travel through thousands of mountains and rivers, just to see her once, to fulfill my father’s last wish."

Yun Liancheng’s words were filled with sorrow, clearly revealing what might be his greatest inner turmoil.

Ye Luo looked at Yun Liancheng: "Then, why don’t you search for your mother in the Cloud Clan’s domain? How could you possibly find her in the Great Tang?"

Upon hearing Ye Luo’s words, Yun Liancheng bitterly smiled: "Is Brother Ye jesting? The Cloud Clan belongs to a branch of the heavenly sky races, living above the clouds in ever-changing locations. Besides, they are not within the territory of the Great Tang. How am I to find them? Do you know that the Yunkai Sacred Temple was actually built by the Cloud Clan for the Great Tang? The reason why Yunkai Sacred Temple only opens at set times is that it is originally a drifting temple, which only appears outside of Yunkai City at specific times!"

So the Yunkai Sacred Temple was actually built by the Cloud Clan?

Ye Luo was somewhat puzzled, but since he was not very familiar with these matters, it was not strange for there to be things that he didn’t know.
