Chapter 1621: Chapter 1621: An Unwaking Dream

Han Yan slowly walked toward her residence, taking in the beautiful scenery on both sides of the corridor, but she felt a sense of discord. Yet, she couldn’t quite pinpoint what was amiss. As the palace of the Peak Master of Fuhua Peak, it was naturally breathtakingly beautiful. Han Yan stopped and looked at the pond outside the corridor. In the pond, unknown large leaves floated, and between the gaps of these leaves grew huge white flowers, gently swaying in the breeze. On the edge of the pond, a pavilion surrounded by white mist housed a crane grooming its feathers, like a celestial realm. It was beautiful, like a dream.

A dream?

Han Yan slightly furrowed her brows as something flashed through her mind, but the next moment Ye Yanran’s voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Senior sister, senior sister, you wouldn’t want to eat Master’s crane, right? Last time you ate one, Master was so angry he almost spat blood. You absolutely can’t eat this one." Ye Yanran’s voice came from afar, somewhat anxious and worried.

Ah? Did I eat a crane my father raised?

Oh... yes, that time I was gluttonous and wanted to taste crane meat, so I roasted the crane. In the end, I was disappointed and told Brother Chen the taste wasn’t anything special. Father caught me, and he was so angry, stomping his feet and wanting to scold me but couldn’t bear to. In the end, he was shouting. Brother Chen said he would get Father an even more obedient crane, which calmed Father a little.

"Well, I won’t eat it then." Han Yan nodded blankly, then shook her head, "No, I didn’t even think of eating it."

"Then, what are you thinking about, Senior sister? Could it be Brother Chen?" Ye Yanran asked curiously, her eyes wide.

"Brother Chen?" Han Yan was taken aback, then helplessly smiled and ruffled Ye Yanran’s hair saying, "Are you also listening to those people outside talk nonsense?"

"But everyone says Senior sister and Brother Chen are a perfect match, made in heaven..." Ye Yanran blinked her large eyes. She’s still naive about such things, although she knows what a match made in heaven means. Senior sister is beautiful and strong, with many admirers. But because Brother Chen stands in the way, many people dare not express their feelings. Brother Chen is handsome and strong too. They are like the apple of the Sect Leader’s eye and the Sect Leader’s beloved son, matching in status, strength, and fame, naturally everyone thinks they are the perfect match.

Brother Chen is indeed Sect Leader’s son. He’s very nice, but... Han Yan shook her head helplessly. She feels quite frazzled about everyone in Canglan Sect pairing her with Chen Ziyu. But it’s just a frazzled feeling; she always disregards such gossip. The more some things are attended to, the messier they become. As time passes, people will naturally understand what the situation is. That’s how she thought, but now it seems things have gone a bit too far. Even little junior sister thinks this way, which isn’t good.

"It’s nothing like that." Han Yan nervously tidied Ye Yanran’s hair, which she accidentally ruffled into a mess, "I only see Brother Chen as an elder brother, nothing else. Got it?"

"Oh, okay." Ye Yanran nodded vigorously upon hearing this, "Then I’ll beat them up if they talk nonsense again."

Han Yan couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this. This really is her father’s teaching style—action is always faster than words. If others object, a beating solves it. If one beating doesn’t solve it, then two will do. Ultimately, everything is about strength!

"Remember to wake me up tomorrow, Senior sister, make sure to take me with you." Ye Yanran clutched Han Yan’s sleeve tightly.

"Alright, alright, I got it. I’ll definitely take you." Han Yan promised, and only then did Ye Yanran release her grip.

...

Early the next day, Han Yan brought a drowsy Ye Yanran, met Mu Hanfeng at the main hall entrance, and together they went to the Transmission Array at Fuhua Peak’s entrance, transferring to the main peak’s plaza, then proceeded to the entrance. Within the Canglan Sect, sky-controlling flight isn’t allowed unless in urgent matters. So they walked to the last layer of the stairs leading to the Canglan Sect, then utilized Wind Control Skill to fly downward. Those participating in the selection were all gathered at the foot of Canglan Sect, a dense mass of people, numbering at least a thousand.

Han Yan and her companions’ appearance caused quite a stir.

"That’s Han Yan of First Peak Fuhua Peak!"

"Is that Han Yan who single-handedly rescued over a hundred disciples entrapped in the Secret Realm?"

"Wow, if only I could become her junior disciple."

"Wake up, you."

"Yeah, wake up already."

"Even dreaming, you want me to wake up, that’s so cruel." The person being mocked wasn’t angry, but exaggeratedly shook his head and feigned anger at the others, which, in turn, garnered him some favor among them.

Of course, Han Yan and her companions’ hearing was extraordinary, so they heard this conversation. Han Yan glanced at the optimistic person and met a pair of crafty eyes. This was a boy who seemed no older than fifteen or sixteen. Seeing Han Yan looking his way, he gave her a big smile. This person was interesting, Han Yan slightly smiled and turned back to look at Brother Chen’s list.

At this moment, the crowd stirred again.

Chen Ziyu had arrived.

Dressed in white, his smile was gentle as jade, and he gracefully glided using Wind Control Skill. The breeze lightly lifted his robe, making him look like a Banished Immortal, causing many of the young women present for the selection to blush.

Chen Ziyu paid no attention to anyone but descended directly beside Han Yan, offering her a tender smile: "Junior Sister Han Yan, you’re early. When I went to find you, your maid said you’d already left."

With these words, everyone’s minds spun with various thoughts. It seems the rumors outside of them being a couple might be true. Looking at Chen Ziyu’s address to Han Yan, you can see their relationship is quite close. It makes sense; both rose to fame young, matching in appearance, strength, and status, they naturally seem perfect for each other.

Han Yan, however, slightly furrowed her brow and replied lightly: "On a day like today with such a major event to select disciples, it’s only natural to arrive early. Brother Chen ought to arrive early, too."

Han Yan’s words brought everyone’s thoughts back around. Looking at this attitude, the idea of them being fond of each other might not be accurate. One calls her ’Junior Sister Han Yan,’ while the other calls him ’Brother Chen.’ Moreover, Han Yan’s tone clearly indicates she doesn’t want to associate closely with Chen Ziyu. Could it be Chen Ziyu is one-sidedly interested? Or is Han Yan as a woman more reserved in public?
