There were actually 4 other inner proteges from the Profound Cloud Sect that had come with Elder Huo Fei, Ouyang Nana and Huangfu Ming.
They had come a little slower than Ouyang Mana and Huangfu Ming as they were full of baggage and provisions.
However, these 4 inner protégés were not core protégés like Ouyang Mana and Huangfu so they simply greeted Fairy Xuan Xueqi, Ye Fan, Mei Yinxuan, Chen Yuyan and Fan De politely.
Ye Fan could not help staring at Ouyang Nana and Ouyang Nana could not help but to look at Ye Fan too…
They had not expected to meet in this place and Ouyang Nana had not expected for Ye Fan to become a branch core protégé of the Profound Cloud Sect and that his protégé mistress would actually be Fairy Xuan Xueqi.
Their subtle stares did not escape the notice of Fairy Xuan Xueqi who sarcastically said all of a sudden, "Protégé Ye Fan, you seem to like this pretty senior protégé sister Ouyang Nana do you? Do you want me to make a match for you?"
When she had suddenly said that Ye Fan and Ouyang Nana were both taken aback.
Not only were they startled but Huo Fei and the others were startled too.
There was even a flash of anger from Chen Yuyan too.
Ye Fan quickly explained, "She is my Little Aunt. I didn't expect that she will be still alive. It has been a long time..."
Ouyang Nana was also explaining, "Yes indeed. I am… very surprised to see Ye Fan too. We have not met for 3 years."
Fairy Xuan Xueqi was suddenly looking a little awkward, "Your Little Aunt?"
Then she took a look at Ouyang Nana and she seemed to remember something, "Right. She used to be…"
Then she had realized that she may have said something wrong and she did not continue.
Ye Fan asked her all of a sudden at this moment which was just the right moment for her, "Protégé mistress, may I have a word with my Little Aunt before the trial starts?"
Fairy Xuan Xueqi nodded, "Go! The two of you must have plenty of things to talk about. You should talk before the trial starts or you will be distracted once you are inside."
When she had given her approval, Ye Fan and Ouyang Nana began to walk away together to a quiet place to talk.
They did not notice that the subtle gaze of Fairy Xuan Xueqi was looking at them and she had even stomped her foot lightly.
None of the others had noticed the uneasy look that was on Fairy Xuan Xueqi since it was considered to be disrespectful to look an Elder like Fairy Xuan Xueqi directly in the face and moreover, she was too stunning.

When Ye Fan was alone with Ouyang Nana, he quickly asked her. "Little Aunt, how have you been all these years? Do you know that I have been so worried for you? I have feared that you are… gone forever. How did you join the Profound Cloud Sect?"
Ouyang Nana smiled wryly, "That is a lot of questions."
But there was a sudden melancholy sigh from her, "I didn't expect to meet someone that I know here…"
Ye Fan: ???
Ouyang Nana lowered her eyes to say, "After the Thousand Swords Divine Sword, I have defected to the Profound Cloud Sect with many of my protégé sisters."
Ye Fan was shocked, "Defect?!"
His Little Aunt is a traitor of the Thousand Swords Divine Sect?! And there are also many defectors?
Ouyang Nana said bitterly, "The elders and most men of the Thousand Swords Divine Sect are not good people. I had even killed a few of them…"
Ye Fan was stunned…
His Little Aunt had even killed a few of them?!
Ouyang Nana continued, "Most of us are given a choice to stay behind in the new Profound Cloud Sect but most of us do not want to. That is why I have disappeared from your mountains."
Ye Fan asked curiously, "Why don't you want to stay behind?"
Ouyang Nana said bitterly, "I don't want to talk about my past unhappiness anymore. The past is over now. I only want to focus on my cultivation…"
Then she smiled faintly at him, "I am glad that you are in the Profound Cloud Sect and not in the Thousand Swords Divine Sect."
Ye Fan was muttering, "Why did you say that?"
Ouyang Nana sighed softly, "Ye Fan, you are a smart young man. You will be able to figure out sooner or later. If you can't, why don't you ask your protégé mistress?"
Ye Fan was startled, "Ask my protégé mistress?"
He had almost wanted to blurt out the Witch Xuan Xueqi instead of his protégé mistress.
He frowned, "Can I trust her? She destroys the Thousand Swords Divine Sect! Little Aunt, don't you want to avenge our Thousand Swords Divine Sect?"
Ouyang Nana looked at him with a startled look, "Avenge the Thousand Swords Divine Sect? What for? They are all scums…"
Then she started to compose herself as she looked at Ye Fan, "You should trust Fairy Xuan Xueqi instead…"
She sighed before saying, "It seems that your protégé mistress didn't tell you the truth about the Thousand Swords Divine Sect."
Ye Fan: ???
"What truth?"
Ouyang Nana had now turned away, "Why don't you ask your protégé mistress?"
Ye Fan asked bitterly, "Why can't Little Aunt tells me?"
Ouyang Nana simply said, "I don't want to talk about the Thousand Swords Divine Sect ever again in my life."
Ye Fan: …
