Chapter 4: Li Ran Is Aggressive
Leng Wuyan looked at the “Li Ran” before her, her lips slightly parted, and her eyes widened.
Her whole person was in a state of extreme astonishment!
If she didn’t hear it wrong…
Right now, she’s being confessed to by her own disciple!
Li Ran’s image continued to speak softly, “I’ve found that I liked you yesterday, I like you today, and I have a feeling I’ll love you even more tomorrow.”
“In my eyes, you outshine billions of stars.”
…
“Shut up!”
Leng Wuyan’s white robe fluttered, and the accumulated snow on the entire Rakhasa Peak rose into the air!
“Stop talking!”
Leng Wuyan’s white robes billowed, and the entire snow on the Rakshasa Peak flew into the air!
Cheesy, it was too cheesy!
Leng Wuyan’s body couldn’t help but tremble uncontrollably as she watched Li Ran’s image continue on with the praise.
Leng Wuyan had been single for hundreds of years, and if being single had a ranking, she would undoubtedly be the undefeatable number one.
Although forsaking worldly desires was her own decision, the truth was, no one had ever confessed to her.
Her strength was too formidable, and her methods were too ruthless. People either trembled in fear when they saw her or flattered her incessantly as to not incur her ire.
And because all of that and many more, no one had dared to pursue her.
Thus, she had remained single all this time.
But now, this ‘truth’ has been broken.
Someone actually dared to openly pursue her!
And this person was not some stranger or someone that is her peer, instead, it’s her disciple, her most proud and beloved disciple!
Leng Wuyan stared blankly at the letter in her hand, her hands trembling uncontrollably.
“This rebellious scoundrel! You not only violate our Sects taboo, but the one you pursue is me!?”
Leng Wuyan was shaking. She was pretty sure this was not a prank. The Sect had a ban on marriage and love after all. Joking about this kind of thing was equal to openly seeking death.
This confession was genuinely from Li Ran!
Leng Wuyan withdrew her consciousness from the Photograph Stone, her eyes showing an incredibly complex expression.
She wanted to crush the stone, but recalling Li Ran’s sincere expression and his heartfelt words, she suddenly couldn’t muster any strength.
“So this is what it feels like to be confessed to…”
“Ran’er… he likes me?”
Leng Wuyan’s heart suddenly started to beat faster, and an inexplicable feeling sprouted within her.
‘Ran’er is usually so aloof, he has never truly been close to me, or anyone else for that matter. I never imagined he harbored such intense emotions in his heart!’
‘He is extraordinarily talented, with the Dao Mark running through him. His future achievements will surely surpass mine. From that perspective, we’re not incompatible at all.’
‘As for his appearance, he’s undoubtedly incredibly handsome!’
‘How about… I give him a chance?’
With these thoughts in her mind, Leng Wuyan’s heartbeat quickened even more.
But then, she remembered something.
【The Hidden Gauze Sect strictly prohibits romantic relationships between men and women. Violators will be expelled from the sect.】
This was the rule she personally established.
Now, not only did she have to break her own rule, but the target of her affection was even her own disciple. If this got out, she would likely become the laughingstock of the world!
‘No, absolutely not!’ Leng Wuyan shook her head vigorously.
She tucked the stone into the gap between her huge bosom, and flicked her finger into the air.
“What are your orders, Sect Master?”
A shadow squeezed in through the door crack and transformed into human form, kneeling on one knee.
“Summon the Holy Son to meet me.”
“Yes.”
The black shadow disappeared without a trace.
Leng Wuyan looked at the flying snow outside the window, lost in thought.
…
Li Ran paced in his room, feeling somewhat uneasy.
According to reason, his junior sister should have come to him immediately after seeing the Photograph Stone.
But now, it was already dark outside, and there was no sign of her.
‘Could it be that I threw the stone too hard and it got stuck somewhere, and she hasn’t found it yet?’
Li Ran was about to go out and check the situation when a knock came at the door.
He quickly sat back down on the chair.
“Come in.”
The door opened, and a cloud of black mist swept in, turning into a human form and kneeling on the ground.
“Holy Son, the Sect Master requests your presence. You need to go to the Rakhasa Peak.”
Li Ran’s heart skipped a beat, “Alright, I understand.”
The black mist dispersed as if it had never appeared.
‘The Sect Master wants to see me now? And for her to have the Shadow Guards notify me— Could it be something important?’
Li Ran had a bad feeling in his heart.
He casually put on an outer coat and quickly walked out of the room.
…
The Mystic Spirit Mountain Range meandered for hundreds of miles.
And Rakhasa Peak was the highest mountain peak of this Mountain Range, towering into the clouds, with its summit covered in perpetual white snow.
It was where Leng Wuyan’s residence was located.
Right now, Li Ran has arrived at his master mountain stop, his heart filled with nervousness.
He saw Leng Wuyan standing in a pavilion not far away, her hands behind her back.
“Master, you wanted to see me?” Li Ran walked forward respectfully.
Leng Wuyan turned around to look at him, her gaze complex. “Li Ran, I noticed that your cultivation hasn’t progressed at all in the past half month. Have you not been practicing properly and allowing your thoughts to be elsewhere?”
Li Ran’s heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly replied, “Master, it’s true that I’ve been restless lately, which has affected my cultivation.
“You have strong talent, no less than the previous Immortal Emperor. Given time, you will definitely surpass me. You must focus on cultivation and not be preoccupied with… strange matters,” Leng Wuyan advised.
Li Ran’s expression became serious, “Rest assured, Master, besides you and cultivation, there’s no room for anything else in my heart!”
He meant to flatter her, but the words sounded different when they reached Leng Wuyan’s ears.
Her face turned red, and panic flickered in her eyes, “What nonsense are you talking about? Why would you place me in your heart?”
Strange, this doesn’t seem like Ran’er usual character. His approach is too aggressive!
Li Ran was also a bit puzzled hearing her, sensing that his Master was acting oddly today.
“Since it has come to this, let’s just be straightforward! I want to ask you about this Photograph Stone. How do you explain it?” Leng Wuyan took out a piece of green stone.
Li Ran was almost scared out of his wits when he saw it.
Oh, crap!
Isn’t this the confession video he made previously for his adorable junior sister!? How come it’s in the hand of his master instead!
Damn it! He is going to be killed!
