93.93% Xianxia: My Love Life With The Sect Masters / Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Li Ran's Shadow!

章節 31: Chapter 31: Li Ran's Shadow!

This was the annual grand event where the major families of Five Yang City gathered.

Xiao Qingge was a prominent figure, and all eyes were on her at once.

There were sighs, mockery, greed, and envy...

Once, she was an extraordinary and unattainable fairy.

Now, having lost her connection to the divine, she had fallen to the mortal world, naturally drawing the attention of many.

"Xiao Qingge? I didn't expect you to really come."

A young man with a sly expression stood in front of her, wearing a smirk on his face.

Li Sheng.

The cousin of Li Ran, with excellent talent, was an inner disciple of the Divine Dao Sect.

"Although the Divine Dao Sect has already released the news, your Xiao family has never officially acknowledged it. Now that you're here at the Ascension Conference, aren't you telling the world that Xiao Qingge is a useless person?"

Li Sheng emphasized the word "useless," almost wishing everyone could hear it.

Xiao Qingge remained expressionless and was about to leave.

"Damn, playing it cool? Thinking you're the same as what you once are, huh?"

A trace of displeasure flickered in Li Sheng's eyes, and he reached out and grabbed her arm.

Xiao Qingge furrowed her brow.

Ouch!

That grip nearly crushed her bones!

The strength of a Foundation Establishment cultivator was not something a mere mortal like her could withstand.

Yet, the Xiao family members turned a blind eye, pretending not to know her.

Even family could be so callous. This was the harsh reality of the world!

Li Sheng, seeing her pain, became even more pleased with himself.

"Losing your cultivation, being expelled from the sect... I won't mention that, but your Xiao family still wants to form an alliance with my Li family?"

"Without our Patriarch's protection, with just an ordinary mortal like you, you want to marry into my Li family? It's laughable!"

"As far as I know, the cancellation of the engagement is already settled. You should think about what use you have left!"

Xiao Qingge said coldly, "Let go."

"Oh, I'm so scared!" Li Sheng looked her up and down, a sinister smile on his face. "Seeing that you still have some beauty left, how about becoming my sex slave? If you agree, I can promise your safety!"

"You dare?"

"Hm? What did you say?!"

Li Sheng suspected he had misheard.

Xiao Qingge raised her head, gazing coldly at him. "As long as the engagement is not canceled, I will remain Li Ran's fiancee! If your words just now reach his ears, have you considered the consequences?"

"Li Ran?"

Li Sheng's body trembled at the sound of that name, a hint of fear in his eyes.

"Wh-Who are you trying to scare..."

"Let go."

...

Li Sheng watched her calm gaze, suddenly feeling a bit nervous, and involuntarily released her hand.

Xiao Qingge rubbed her wrist and said calmly, "That's right, I lost my cultivation and became a mortal. But some people, even if they can cultivate, are nothing but useless trash who will never amount to anything!"

Having said that, she turned and walked away.

Li Sheng was left gasping for breath, his face alternating between red and white, veins bulging on his forehead.

Her words had struck deep into his heart.

Under the shadow of Li Ran, the Hidden Gauze sect's prodigy, he indeed felt like he could never lift his head high!

"Xiao Qingge, when the Li family cancels the engagement, I'll make sure you pay!" He gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with malice.

...

Xiao Qingge returned home and locked herself in her room.

She felt as if she had been completely drained of energy, sitting weakly in her chair with a vacant look in her eyes.

No matter how strong she tried to appear, she was still just a teenage girl.

The enormous gap between being in the heavens and falling into hell was not something she could bear.

Knock, knock, knock.

There was a knock on the door.

She composed herself and got up to open the door.

Outside stood a burly man, the head of the Xiao family, her biological father, Xiao Nian.

"Qingge."

"Father."

Xiao Qingge lowered her head, not daring to look at him.

Xiao Nian sighed helplessly. "Come inside."

In the room.

Xiao Nian set up a soundproof barrier and then spoke, "Qingge, you shouldn't have gone to the Ascension Conference. It only makes the situation more uncontrollable."

Xiao Qingge shook her head. "The Divine Dao Sect has already released the news. This is something that can't be hidden... and I also want to give it another try..."

"I understand."

Xiao Nian sighed. "Since the Patriarch passed away, the Xiao family has been like a candle in the wind. There are wolves and tigers lurking everywhere in Five Yang City. I'm only worried about your safety!"

"I'm useless, making Father worry," Xiao Qingge said softly.

"If we could get the support of the Li family, there might still be a chance, but..." Xiao Nian shook his head.

With the current state of the Xiao family, the cancellation of the engagement was almost a done deal.

"Qingge, is there really no possibility between you and Li Ran?" Xiao Nian couldn't help but ask.

"Li Ran?"

Xiao Qingge's eyes seemed lost as she flashed back to the image of a young boy.

Childhood playmates, promises under the tree, parental orders, and matchmakers' words...

She had willingly accepted it all!

"No, it's not possible," Xiao Qingge said with a tight grip on her lips. "Li Ran is the Holy Son of the Hidden Gauze Sect, and the sect has a prohibition on romantic relationships. Even if he doesn't cancel the engagement, the marriage contract is practically void."

"Sigh..."

Xiao Nian felt helpless.

Li Ran was the only hope in this matter.

However, knowing Xiao Qingge's personality, even if her teeth were shattered, she wouldn't go to him for help at a time like this.

章節 32: Chapter 32: Leng Wuyan's Letter

Hidden Gauze Sect, Main Peak Training Ground.

A group of young disciples had gathered here.

Most of them were newcomers who had recently joined the sect, and there were also some who had missed the previous trials.

They were nervous and excited about the upcoming trial.

"I heard that the Ten Thousand Mountains are super scary, with countless demons and monsters wandering around in it at all times. Isn't it like a death trap for us rookies?"

"We're just a bunch of greenhorns. Are we going to be a feast for demons?"

"Don't worry, the sect won't send us to our deaths. We'll only be at the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Mountains. It's not that dangerous."

"And we have senior brothers with us. What's there to worry about?"

"I wonder which senior brother will lead us this time. I hope he's handsome; it'll make the trial more enjoyable."

"You daydreamer..."

Listening to the discussions of the disciples around her, Lu Xinran sighed and furrowed her brow.

She was also part of the group going on the trial.

As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, she stood out among the Qi Refinement disciples and had become a senior sister.

However, she couldn't find any joy in it.

Every time she thought about how she couldn't see the Holy Son for a long time, her heart felt empty.

"Ah, I was planning to make plum blossom cakes for His Holiness. Looks like I'll have to wait until I return."

In her heart, cultivation always took a back seat...

Suddenly, the noisy discussions came to a halt.

"What's going on?"

Lu Xinran looked around in confusion, only to see a figure in white descending gracefully.

Her small mouth hung open, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"Holy... Holy Son?!"

Li Ran landed in the center of the training ground.

He looked handsome and confident, his aura radiant.

He scanned the surroundings with an indifferent expression and said, "I am the leader of this sect's expedition."

"My task is to ensure your safety."

"As for everything else, whether it's a missing arm or a broken leg, it has nothing to do with me."

"So, my only requirement for all of you is..."

"Survive!"

"Half an hour from now, gather at the teleportation array. Anyone who arrives late will be judged as defeated!"

Li Ran's words were concise and to the point. After speaking, he soared into the sky and departed.

The training ground fell silent for a moment, then erupted into excitement.

"Who is this senior brother? He's so handsome!"

"Especially that cold and aloof aura, it's just too cool!"

"I'm in love!"

The female disciples' eyes sparkled with admiration.

Most of them were outer disciples who rarely had the chance to interact with Li Ran, so they didn't recognize him.

"Don't you all recognize him? He's our sect's Holy Son, Li Ran, the number one genius of Hidden Gauze Sect!"

"Holy Son?"

"He's the Holy Son, Li Ran?"

"Oh my goodness!"

They exchanged amazed glances.

He was a legendary figure, and this was just a minor trial. Yet, the Holy Son himself was leading the way?

Lu Xinran giggled, her eyes sparkling with mischief.

She's so lucky!

"Unexpectedly, I can actually go through the trial together with the Holy Son. Such great luck, hoho!"

...

Li Ran returned to his residence.

Ah Qin also knew about the matter regarding him leading the sect disciple on the trial, and was helping him pack his belongings.

Because she was not a disciple of the Hidden Gauze Sect, she couldn't accompany him on this trial.

"Lord Holy Son, these are your replacement clothes for this period. If they get dirty, just change into new ones."

"These are the snacks for the journey, all the ones you usually enjoy. They won't rot even if you put them in the storage ring."

"This is..."

Li Ran chuckled, "Alright, I'm not going on vacation, just a regular trial, I'll be back soon."

"Yes, Ah Qin will work hard in her cultivation while waiting for the return of Lord Holy Son," she said seriously.

"Good girl."

Li Ran ruffled her little head.

Ah Qin squinted her eyes, looking extremely content.

"Ah Qin is already at the middle stage of Qi Refinement. According to the Mysterious Luminous Scripture, as long as Ah Qin successfully builds her foundation, Ah Qin can double cultivate with Lord Holy So-Hmmph!!"

Li Ran, feeling awkward, covered her mouth with his big hand.

"Besides cultivating with me, can't you have some other pursuits?"

"Hmm?"

Ah Qin's black and white eyes blinked innocently at him.

Li Ran: "..."

Li Ran let out a sigh, and then, with a smile, he rubbed Ah Qin's head and said: "Alright, alright, I'll be back soon. No need to think about that right now."

"Hmm!"

After ensuring that his belongings were packed and that he had everything he needed, Li Ran headed out of his room. His gaze shifted towards the towering peak of the Rakshasa Peak.

It had been a while since he last saw Leng Wuyan, and he had a slight uncertainty in his heart. He wondered if she was still upset about their last encounter when she had shyly run away.

Just as he was lost in thought, a female disciple approached him hurriedly.

"Holy Son."

"Ah, Steward Wang? Do you need something?" Li Ran asked.

Steward Wang nodded and handed him an envelope. "This is a letter that the Sect Master asked me to give you before you depart."

"A letter?" Li Ran was momentarily surprised but took it from her. "Did the Sect Master mention anything else?"

Steward Wang shook her head. "No, she did not."

"Very well."

Once she left, Li Ran opened the envelope and infused it with his spiritual energy. Leng Wuyan's cool voice echoed in his ears:

"Ran, I have to make a trip to the Southern Border for important matters and won't be able to personally see you off."

"Take care of yourself, return early, and I'll have a surprise for you when you come back."

"When you're out there, as a young man, remember to protect yourself and not get involved with others. Otherwise, I won't acknowledge you."

"Remember to think of me every day. Your... your fiancée..."

Her voice gradually faded, and Li Ran could almost imagine her blushing as she recorded the message.

Li Ran couldn't help but shake his head, and with a happy tone, he said: "Sigh* With a lover as sweet as this, how can someone not end up in diabetes?"

章節 33: Chapter 33: The Trial Begins!

The Hundred Thousand Mountains.

This place is located in the extreme south of Hidden Gauze Sect, with layers of mountains, treacherous terrain, and teeming with demons and evil spirits.

The deeper you go, the more terrifying the demons become.

This accursed land is even considered a forbidden area for the human race.

Even the high-level cultivators dare only venture around the outskirts and avoid going deep inside.

...

"Kill!"

"Hidden Gauze Heart Technique: Shadow Kill Formation!"

"Watch your back!"

"Formation, quickly form the formation!"

As the group from the Hidden Gauze Palace entered the range of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, they were immediately attacked by demon beasts.

These were colorful and fierce tigers, with bodies as massive as bulls, and huge fangs protruding from their mouths, while their tails swung like steel whips.

It's the Fanged Tigers.

Their strength was equivalent to the late Qi Refinement stage.

Unlike normal tigers, they preferred to travel in groups, which caused a great deal of trouble for the Hidden Gauze Palace group.

They managed to kill a few together, but then the tiger group scattered them, and they struggled under the relentless attacks of the demon beasts.

Meanwhile, not far away, Li Ran lay on a flying sword and lazily yawned.

He was the leader, not a babysitter.

Before it escalated to casualties, he couldn't be bothered to take action.

"Oh?"

In the chaotic battlefield, a petite figure caught his attention.

He saw Lu Xinran weaving through the demon beasts, her figure as fast as a ghost, and the slow-moving Fanged Tigers couldn't even touch her.

Instead, every time she attacked, she left terrifying scars on them.

In just three breaths of time, she effortlessly killed one of the demon tigers.

"Not bad, she has grown a lot compared to before," Li Ran nodded in approval.

Lu Xinran's combat talent was still quite strong.

But the good times didn't last long.

The demon tigers quickly noticed this formidable opponent and marked her as their primary target. Five demon tigers howled madly and rushed towards her, blocking out the sky.

Lu Xinran suddenly became a little overwhelmed.

She turned her phantom into a shield, blocking the attacks of four demon tigers, but one still managed to break through the defense.

"Roar!"

The demon tiger's crimson eyes were filled with greed as it opened its blood-stained mouth to bite down, its foul saliva almost dripping onto her!

"It's over!"

Lu Xinran looked terrified.

At this point, there was no time to use any Taoist techniques.

Just as the tiger's jaws were about to close, her vision suddenly blurred, and a tall figure stood in front of her.

"Enough, l[et's stop here."

With an indifferent voice, the demon tiger instantly exploded into a rain of blood.

Li Ran was enveloped in a silvery glow, like a meteor in broad daylight, sweeping into the midst of the demon beast horde.

"Howl!"

Amidst the piercing cries of agony, in just a few short breaths of time, all the demon tigers were torn apart by the silvery light.

Red splatters, flesh flew in all directions, and the gruesome scene resembled a hellish painting.

Li Ran floated above the corpses.

His white robe fluttered, black hair danced, and there was not a speck of blood on him.

This dramatic contrast left the disciples staring in a daze, unable to snap out of it for a while.

Seeing that many of them were already injured, Li Ran said indifferently, "Everyone, check your injuries and get yourself ready to leave, we are going to set off half an hour later."

After saying that, he leaped back onto his flying sword and lazily basked in the sun.

Lu Xinran was the first to react. She looked at him gratefully and then began to organize the disciples for recovery.

"The Holy Son is so handsome!"

"I have to admit, he's really handsome!"

"Did you see him in action just now? In an instant, all the demon tigers were dead!"

"So amazing!"

"The Holy Son doesn't seem as cold as the rumors say."

The disciples admired Li Ran and whispered to each other.

One male disciple, nursing a bleeding arm, snorted, "He had to wait until the last moment to show off his coolness! If he had dealt with the demon beasts earlier, we wouldn't be injured!"

Clearly, he had been harboring dissatisfaction for a while.

Lu Xinran cast a cold glance at him. "Do you think you're here for a vacation? This is a real battle, and in real battles, injuries happen!"

"But..." The male disciple wanted to argue.

"The Holy Son saved our lives, and we should be grateful. If I hear such words again, you can just withdraw from the trial!" Lu Xinran's attitude was very firm.

Others also cast unfriendly glances at the male disciple.

The male disciple shivered and lowered his head, not daring to speak again.

...

After the disciples had tended to their injuries and collected the demon bones required for the mission, the team continued to move forward.

Li Ran continued to follow at his own leisurely pace.

"Holy Son!"

Lu Xinran hurriedly ran up to him, holding a bright red fruit in her hands.

"This is the Cloud Spirit Fruit I just found. Would you like to have one to quench your thirst?"

"No need, I'm not thirsty," Li Ran replied without lifting an eyelid.

"Alright..."

Lu Xinran said earnestly, "Thank you for helping us just now. Otherwise, I might have died here."

Li Ran nonchalantly said, "There is no need, I'm just doing my duty as the leader."

"Hehe, actually, I know that although the Holy Son appears cold on the surface, you're actually a very warm-hearted person," Lu Xinran said with a blush.

"Huh?" Li Ran was puzzled.

"By waiting until the end to take action, you wanted us to gain real combat experience, right? I understand your thoughtful intentions! We will definitely work hard and not let you down!" Lu Xinran clenched her fist, determined. "We won't disappoint your expectations!"

Li Ran: "..."

Who said I had expectations for you guys?

Has this girl misunderstood something?
