The air within the dragon chariot fluctuated.
A figure stepped through the void.
Leng Wuyan was wearing a long white robe, and her snow-white neck lightly brushed. Her face was delicate and cold.
Her eyes were as beautiful as a spring mountain, and her charm carried a trace of heroic spirit.
“Master!” Li Ran’s footsteps moved slightly, forcefully resisting the urge to hug her.
He had not seen his master for such a long time, so he really missed her dearly.
Leng Wuyan’s eyes were filled with joy, but she forcefully restrained herself and rebuked, “You traitorous disciple, why are you only back now?”
Li Ran chuckled. “It’s a long story. I’ll tell you when we get back.”
“I’ll deal with you later.” Leng Wuyan rolled her eyes at him.
After that, he turned around to look at Yi Qinglan, and her smile vanished while her expression was indifferent.
“Sheng Zi Li came out with me, so I naturally have to send him back safely,” Yi Qinglan said indifferently.
From her calm appearance, it seemed that she had returned to the Daoist Yi who had severed the mortal world.
Leng Wuyan nodded. “It can be considered that you have some conscience… Yi? Where’s your veil?”
Yi Qinglan: ∑(⊙▽⊙!!
How could she have forgotten about this!
Ever since she took off her veil two days ago, because Li Ran said that she liked to see her face, she had never put it on again. She didn’t feel that anything was wrong.
But to Leng Wuyan, this was a little abnormal.
She cleared her throat. “I feel that it’s not very breathable, so I took it off for now.”
“???” Leng Wuyan looked puzzled.
In her memories, Yi Qinglan had never taken off her veil, and her true appearance had always been a mystery. Not many people in the Vast Land had seen her.
Why would he take it off in front of Li Ran?
This didn’t make sense!
However, she was quickly attracted to another matter.
“Yi Qinglan, I didn’t expect you to look like this… Isn’t the difference too great?” Leng Wuyan was somewhat surprised.
The dignified Goddess of the Tianshu Institute actually had a cute baby face?
Yi Qinglan was a little embarrassed. “Red powder skeleton, white bones, skin, and flesh. The outer appearance is just a passing sight. Why is Sect Master Leng surprised?”
“False.” Leng Wuyan rolled her eyes. “If you really don’t care, why do you always wear a veil?”
As she spoke, she thought of something and asked in confusion, “Oh right, why didn’t you bring Ran’er directly across space? Why did you fly back unhurriedly?”
“This…” A trace of nervousness flashed across Yi Qinglan’s eyes as she recalled her three days of experience.
She did not know how to answer this question.
At this moment, Li Ran spoke, “Master, this is what this disciple requested.”
Leng Wuyan was stunned. “Why?”
Li Ran replied, “I faintly felt that I was about to break through, so I asked Daoist Yi to be my disciple’s protector. Only then did we waste some time.”
As he spoke, he blinked at Yi Qinglan.
Yi Qinglan finally heaved a sigh of relief when she saw him find an excuse for her, and her face blushed slightly as she felt a wave of shyness in her heart.
So this guy knew from the start and he was just cooperating with her…
This was really bad.
Her eyes were bright and beautiful, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
—
“You broke through again?”
When Leng Wuyan heard this, she took a closer look with a surprised expression.
Li Ran’s aura was deep. He had clearly broken through to the late-Nascent Soul stage, and his soul was several times tougher.
“I can understand your breakthrough, but why is your soul so powerful?” Leng Wuyan was puzzled.
With only his Nascent Soul Realm cultivation, he was unable to refine his soul to this level.
Clearly, there was a great opportunity.
Li Ran explained, “This disciple has absorbed the remnant souls of the Death End Grounds.”
He briefly narrated the matter.
Leng Wuyan burst out laughing.
“Good disciple, well done!” She smiled and said to Yi Qinglan, “It’s just some remnant souls of the Heart Demon. I’ll treat it as a reward for Ran’er’s action. Daoist Yi, don’t tell me you’re heartbroken?”
Yi Qinglan shook her head and said, “Li Ran is able to improve his cultivation and temper his soul. This poor Daoist can’t be happier as a master, so why would she feel distressed?”
“Hmm?” Leng Wuyan frowned. “What do you mean? I am his master.”
Yi Qinglan said lightly, “I forgot to tell you that this poor Daoist has already taught him the Clear Heart Curse and the Spirit Awareness Technique. He can now be considered this poor Daoist’s successor.”
“What did you say?!” Leng Wuyan’s brows furrowed, and her gaze was like a blade.
Yi Qinglan looked at her without retreating.
The atmosphere in the chariot was heavy, and the air seemed to be frozen like ice!
After a while, Leng Wuyan’s voice rang out. “Ran’er, is what she said true?”
Li Ran swallowed his saliva. “I have indeed learned the Daoism of the Tianshu Institute…”
Boom!
The air trembled.
The dragon carriage descended at high speed, instantly smashing into the ground from ten thousand meters above!
The carriage did not move at all, no matter how the horses outside howled.
Leng Wuyan’s voice was icy cold, and her killing intent overflowed. “Yi Qinglan, do you really think I don’t dare kill you?”
The Tianshu Institute cultivators had forgotten their emotions.
If Li Ran had forgotten his feelings, wouldn’t he have forgotten her too?
Yi Qinglan remained calm. “It’s not that you don’t dare kill me, but you can’t kill me.”
“Very well.”
Leng Wuyan’s eyes were piercingly cold as a pitch black sword appeared in her hand. The terrifying killing intent seemed to be tangible.
Rifts opened up in the void, as though the heavens and the earth had opened their pitch-black eyes. The aura of an ancient and desolate being spread out.
The boundless pressure almost crushed the world.
Yi Qinglan’s wrist shook as a pure white sword fell into her hand.
Her aura soared, and she didn’t give in at all!
Their auras collided, and the space between them collapsed.
Seeing this scene, Li Ran’s throat tightened.
It was over. This time, they really were going to fight!
He wanted to go over and fight, but just a trace of his remaining power made him unable to move at all.
He could only shout at the top of his lungs, “Master, stop fighting. Daoist Yi has saved my life before!”
“Eh?” Leng Wuyan frowned slightly.
Li Ran hurriedly told him about the Joyous Unity Sect.
Leng Wuyan’s eyes softened slightly after hearing this, but she still gritted her teeth and said, “Even if that’s the case, you can’t have any ideas about Ran’er!”
Yi Qinglan secretly took a deep breath.
Who was planning on him?
It was clearly him who had been torturing this poor Daoist!
She frowned and said, “This poor Daoist passed on her cultivation technique to save Langyue and to help him break through. How could she be so despicable?”
Leng Wuyan snorted coldly. “Whoever is dirty knows! Why else would you not wear a veil?”
“If I want to wear it, I’ll wear it. If I don’t want to, I won’t wear it. What does it have to do with you?”
“Hmph! You’re clearly trying to seduce Ran’er!”
“…Leng Wuyan, draw your sword!”
“Go ahead, go ahead!”
Li Ran was speechless. “……”
The more they argued, the more veins on his forehead throbbed.
With a thought, several Buddhist bones fell into his palm and were crushed into pieces.
With the support of the boundless Buddhist power, he roared, “Stop!”
The Buddhist chant suddenly rang out, and the two of them couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment.
Taking advantage of this gap, Li Ran quickly walked to the middle of them and held his hands, his expression solemn as if he was being generous.
“If you want to chop me, then chop me!”
“……”
