Bab 5: Chapter 5: Cross-Realm Conversation
Li Ran was in a panic.
The prestigious position of the Hidden Gauze Sect within the Demonic Sects was largely due to his beautiful Master's contributions. As one of the top experts in the entire vast land, the name of Leng Wuyan was enough to stop a baby from crying, and the number of people she has killed is in thte six digit!
Furthermore, the Hidden Gauze Sect had always been strict with its rules and regulations. Violating the prohibitions could result in expulsion from the Sect at best and endangering one's life at worst!
Moreover, he had violated the most taboo prohibition of Leng Wuyan!
'This Photograph Stone is definitely given by my junior sister to Master!'
'I thought I knew her well, but it seems I didn't know her heart at all. How could she betray me like this? What should I do now?'
Li Ran's mind was racing as he brainstormed for a solution.
During this moment, Leng Wuyan carefully observed the young man before her. His face was as fair as snow, and his skin was so smooth that even women would be jealous. His eyebrows were sharp, his eyes bright, and there was no trace of the previous shadow in his expression; instead, a hint of sunlight shone through.
His figure was tall and well-proportioned, standing straight like a spear even before her.
This young man was truly handsome!
Even in the world of cultivation, where handsome men and beautiful women were abundant, Li Ran was undoubtedly the epitome of attractiveness.
Adding his terrifying talent in cultivation, it seemed that no one could resist his confession, not even Leng Wuyan herself.
Even she felt a hint of excitement in her heart.
To find out that someone liked her, especially such an outstanding and talented youth!
Unfortunately, their identities were that of a master and her disciple, should they be otherwise...
Leng Wuyan shook her head forcefully.
'He is my disciple. Why am I even entertaining such thoughts?'
She steadied her mind and maintained a cold demeanor, saying, "Aren't you going to explain this matter to me?"
Hearing her words and seeing her cold demeanor, Li Ran's heart trembled.
Now that he was caught red-handed, there was no room for denial.
The only way out was to bravely face the danger head on!
"Master, I don't have much to explain," Li Ran said in a low voice.
Leng Wuyan raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"
Li Ran continued, "The image was indeed left by me, and the words spoken were mine as well. I have nothing to explain."
Leng Wuyan let out a cold snort, "The Sect prohibits romantic relationships between men and women, and you are well aware of this. As the Holy Son and the future successor to the sect, you dared to lead the way in breaking the rules. Do you really think I won't punish you?"
Her tone was as icy as it could be.
Li Ran shook his head and said, "Master, when I recorded this image, I was already prepared for the consequences that would come with it."
Leng Wuyan was taken aback, "If you knew the consequences, then why did you still dare to..."
Li Ran stepped forward, his gaze intense, "Because even the Sect's rules cannot stop the sincerity in my heart!"
For a moment, it felt like time stood still.
Right now, He was gambling.
Even though Leng Wuyan was ruthless, deep down, she was still a woman.
Li Ran pretended to be a devoted and infatuated man, willing to endure punishment to be with his junior sister. He hoped that his words would soften her heart and give him a chance!
Leng Wuyan trembled slightly, never expecting him to have such courage!
How dare he say such things to her face!
It was truly audacious!
"Today, I will pretend that I didn't hear your words. Forget about these feelings as well. I will never agree," Leng Wuyan said coldly.
Li Ran breathed a sigh of relief.
If she disagreed, it was still better than losing his life.
He had twenty-four hours left, and he still had a chance to complete his mission.
Just as he was about to leave, Leng Wuyan spoke again, "It seems that your cultivation has stagnated because of this matter. I'll punish you by having you face the wall in the Cold Abyss Cave for reflection. Come out after one month."
This punishment wasn't meant to harm Li Ran; she just didn't know how to face him.
"Cold Abyss Cave?" Li Ran frowned.
Trouble!
It was a natural cave on the Mystic Spirit Mountain, gathering the coldest spiritual energy of the entire mountain range. Mortals who entered would be frozen to ice with every breath.
Only those at the Foundation Establishment stage or above, who constantly cultivated the Hidden Gauze Sect's techniques, could resist the cold inside.
In the past, when he was still the Holy Son, this punishment would be nothing to him.
But now, things were different.
His cultivation had been sealed!
Without being able to cultivate, entering the cave meant certain death!
Even if he miraculously survived, the time limit for the mission would have passed, and he would lose his last chance!
'No, I absolutely cannot go into the Cold Abyss Cave!'
Li Ran made his decision.
He strode forward and spoke in a resolute voice, "Master, forgive me, but I cannot obey this command!"
"Hmm?" Leng Wuyan's expression turned cold, "According to the sect's laws, those who violate this prohibition shall have their cultivation abolished and be expelled from the sect!"
"I took your first offense and your bright future into consideration, which is why I showed leniency. Yet, you can't even accept this punishment?"
"No, that's not it!" Li Ran shouted, "What I can't obey is your order to make me forget these feelings. Only in this matter, I truly can't do it!"
"The person I love is the most beautiful existence in this world, and they have already filled my entire heart."
"By asking me to forget these feelings, aren't you asking me to rip out my own heart?"
"So, please forgive me for being unable to obey!" Li Ran's voice trembled with genuine emotions.
Leng Wuyan: "!!!"
