The phrase "well-proportioned and graceful" is often used to describe a beautiful woman.

If someone only has a good figure but not a pretty face, it loses much of its meaning, and vice versa.

Previously, Zhang Yang thought Wang Mingyue... Situ Mingyue was quite unfortunate. She had such a great figure, yet her face was lacking.

Now he realized that Situ Mingyue had been using a disguise.

Zhang Yang had to admit, Situ Mingyue was indeed as stunning as those top-tier celebrity beauties from the past. However, he wasn't someone who hadn't seen the world. Although he found Situ Mingyue breathtaking, he quickly returned to normal.

In his previous life, he had been successful and had many women, including models and celebrities.

He had already pursued women.

Now, he sought immortal cultivation and longevity. Women would only slow down his cultivation progress.

"Not bad!" Zhang Yang nodded. "What kind of trading union is the Yunteng Trading Union? Why have you come to the Cloudmount Empire?"

Situ Mingyue had been watching Zhang Yang's expression. When she noticed that Zhang Yang was also stunned by her appearance, she felt a sense of pride. She had seen many people like this; almost no one wasn't shocked by her looks.

However, when she saw Zhang Yang quickly return to normal, she was a bit puzzled.

He recovered so quickly? So nonchalantly?

She had encountered many disciples from major sects who would blush for quite a while upon seeing her face.

How could this young man have such strong self-control at such a young age?

And he only said "not bad"?

She snorted coldly, somewhat dissatisfied, and said, "You're the acting sect master of the Azurecloud Sect, yet you're so ignorant? Our Yunteng Trading Union is the largest trading union in the Yunteng Empire, almost like a royal trading union. Our business spans the entire Yunteng Empire, and we have industries elsewhere too."

Zhang Yang chuckled, "I've basically never left the Azurecloud Sect, so it's normal for me to be short-sighted. But what about you? With such a powerful Yunteng Trading Union, why aren't you staying home?"

Situ Mingyue felt a blockage in her chest. She took a deep breath, deciding not to argue with Zhang Yang, and said calmly, "I got into some trouble and had to leave the Yunteng Empire. However, the trouble is aimed at me. As long as I leave, they won't easily offend my family. Now that you know my trouble, do you still dare to cooperate with me?"

Zhang Yang pondered for a moment before asking, "Can you still mobilize the Yunteng Trading Union's resources? Is there a possibility for us in Azurecloud to cooperate with the Yunteng Trading Union?"

He was well aware that the trouble that forced Situ Mingyue to flee was definitely not small.

However, if the Yunteng Trading Union, as a top national enterprise of a great empire, could establish a relationship or even a partnership, then Azurecloud's issues would be insignificant.

Situ Mingyue frowned and said, "Didn't you understand what I said? I fled because I didn't dare to go back. If I return to contact the Yunteng Trading Union, wouldn't that expose my whereabouts? Our Yunteng Trading Union has many people, and if the news leaks, it would be a huge problem for me and might even harm the Yunteng Trading Union's interests."

"Just tell me, can you or can't you?" Zhang Yang stared at Situ Mingyue.

Situ Mingyue snorted coldly, "Of course I can."

Zhang Yang laughed, "I have a suggestion. You could join the Azurecloud Sect. My master and six uncle-masters each have their own unique skills. Especially Fourth Uncle-Master and Seventh Uncle-Master, who are both great beauties. It would be perfect for you to learn from them."

If he could bring the daughter of a major trading union into the Azurecloud Sect, the sect's commercial prospects would be secured.

Moreover, that middle-aged man in green was also a master. The Azurecloud Sect would instantly gain another expert, making it a worthwhile deal.

Situ Mingyue laughed coldly, "You have a good plan, wanting to use my Yunteng Trading Union to develop the Azurecloud Sect. But what about my trouble?"

Zhang Yang said seriously, "Once you join the Azurecloud Sect, you become one of us. Although Azurecloud has declined, if anyone tries to bully an Azurecloud member, the entire sect won't stand for it. Right, Uncle-Master Lingyun?"

"Yes!" Lingyunzi replied.

Situ Mingyue fell silent, but her eyes darted around, indicating her mind was not as calm as her appearance suggested.

At this moment, Situ Mingyue was calculating in her mind.

She was considering whether the Azurecloud Sect was a reliable backing and whether it was appropriate for her to join Azurecloud rashly.

After a long consideration, she looked at Lingyunzi and slowly asked, "Senior, may I ask if Azurecloud can protect me?"

Lingyunzi said calmly, "Though Azurecloud has only a few people, we have never lost our Azurecloud spirit and dare to face any invading enemy."

"What if it's a force like the Langya Sacred Ground?" Situ Mingyue asked slowly, "Can Azurecloud face them?"

Lingyunzi turned to Zhang Yang and said calmly, "Among the two people I mentioned earlier, one of them entered the Langya Sacred Ground."

"Oh!" Zhang Yang recalled one of the senior brothers who had been lured away, "I remember!"

Lingyunzi continued to speak to Situ Mingyue, "Fifty years ago, the Azurecloud Sect had a battle. On one side was my senior brother Qingyunzi, and on the other was Tan Qiushui from the Langya Sacred Ground."

"Elder Tan!" Situ Mingyue exclaimed.

The middle-aged man in green couldn't help but ask, "Brother Lingyun, what was the result of that battle?"

Lingyunzi said proudly, "The battle ended within ten moves. Tan Qiushui was forbidden from stepping within ten thousand miles of the Azurecloud Sect for life. Oh, the ten-thousand-mile territory was Azurecloud's domain a thousand years ago, known to all major sects."

Situ Mingyue and her companions were stunned.

Tan Qiushui was renowned in the Langya Sacred Ground, even famous across the land.

Yet he had suffered a significant defeat at Azurecloud without anyone knowing?

In contrast, Zhang Yang, unaware of Tan Qiushui's background, wasn't surprised at all.

"The Azurecloud Sect Master is truly formidable!" The middle-aged man in green shook his head repeatedly, "Brother Lingyun, I'm not underestimating you, but you're only at the Nascent Soul Stage..."

The implication was that even if Qingyunzi's realm was higher than yours, how high could it be?

Lingyunzi smiled wryly and said, "On the surface, he is our senior brother, but in reality, he taught us all our skills. Back then, our master didn't manage things, and it was senior brother who taught us on behalf of the master. However, due to certain reasons, senior brother cannot leave the Azurecloud Sect. Otherwise, the sect wouldn't be in its current state."

"I've decided, I'll take the sect master as my master!" Situ Mingyue immediately jumped up, "I've decided to join Azurecloud!"

With such a powerful master, she wanted to see if the Langya Sacred Ground would still dare to trouble her.

Lingyunzi shook his head, "Senior brother no longer accepts disciples... Ten years ago, if it weren't for Zhang Yang's exceptional talent, senior brother wouldn't have made an exception. If you truly want to join Azurecloud, Fourth Junior Sister and Seventh Junior Sister can teach you. Rest assured, all of us in Azurecloud are very united."

Situ Mingyue looked dejected. Why wouldn't he accept disciples when it came to her?

Zhang Yang chuckled, "Your Yunteng Trading Union is wealthy, while our Azurecloud Sect is currently poor. If you donate more money, I guarantee my master will accept you as a disciple."

He didn't hesitate to sell out his master.

Situ Mingyue sneered, "Now you're not talking about Azurecloud's great potential? Not saying how powerful Azurecloud is? You were just coaxing me to come to the Azurecloud Market, always deceiving me, thinking I wouldn't notice? Wait until I meet the master, I'll make sure to report you!"

Pausing for a moment, she immediately changed her expression, speaking with great enthusiasm, "Senior brother, I'm willing to donate a million spirit stones. Do you think that's enough for the master to accept me as a disciple?"

"Bring it on!" Zhang Yang said without hesitation, "Don't worry, leave the matter of apprenticeship to me."
