Xianxia: The Sect Master Is My Girlfriend

“Take care.”

Song Qingsong waved his hand to the departing Li Ran, watching Li Ran leave.

After the other party’s figure completely disappeared, his cheeks twisted instantly, and he was furious.

“Damn it all!”

“To think you would dare to rob me! Do you know who I am? I am Song Qingsong, the direct disciple of the Divine Dao Sect, a cultivator in the Golden Core stage, and the one who stands firm in the face of adversity!”

“When we get out of this secret realm, I will make you pay!”

After venting incoherently, Song Qingsong finally calmed down.

In fact, he was just talking nonsense to vent his anger. Make Li Ran pay? Not only did he not have the strength to do so, but he also didn’t have the status nor the courage to do so.

While the Divine Dao Sect was a top sect, the Hidden Gauze Sect was no less formidable than them.

He, Song Qingsong, was just a direct disciple of the Divine Dao Sect, while Li Ran was the Holy Son of the Hidden Gauze Sect, the future sect master of Hidden Gauze Sect, their status is world apart.

Moreover, he also had a terrifying master backing him up

The Divine Dao Sect would never risk offending Leng Wuyan for a direct disciple like him.

So, despite being angry, he could only swallow his anger.

‘Never mind, now is not the time to think about these things. Fortunately, I still have enough time to search for other immortal materials’

Song Qingsong stabilized his mind and continued his journey of gathering herbs.

The range of this herb-covered mountain was extremely vast, with numerous spiritual plants and flowers. Most people would find it overwhelming, let alone searching for immortal materials.

So, the strategy for most people was to pick whatever they saw and make up for the lack of quality with quantity.

However, Song Qingsong knew that the value of immortal materials couldn’t be compared to ordinary spiritual herbs!

Therefore, he focused all his attention on high-quality medicinal herbs.

“Ningshen Flower? Excellent! Its value is on par with the Thousand-Year White Vine!”

“Evil Mist Grass? This thing is inherently evil and extremely rare, suitable for refining poison pills!”

“Oh my, Black Blood Lotus?!”

Not long after, relying on his extraordinary eyesight and skill, Song Qingsong once again harvested a considerable amount of immortal materials.

This place was truly his home ground, and no one understood herb picking better than him!

“Heh, do you think this can stop me from advancing? Simply a fool’s dream!” Song Qingsong looked relaxed and pleased.

Phew~

Suddenly, a sound of wind came from behind.

Song Qingsong’s body stiffened, slowly turning around to see Li Ran smiling at him.

He swallowed hard, “You are—-”

“Robbing you, yes,” Li Ran nodded his head.

Song Qingsong felt so angry that he felt like he wanted to immediately strike Li Ran down, but he knew that it would do nothing, so he could only, once again, hand over the immortal materials while praying that Li Ran would spare him.

However, Li Ran seemed to be addicted to robbing him.

Not long after the second robber, he came again.

“Good morning! Mind giving me your bag?”

…

Another moment passed, and Li Ran came again.

“Same as before, thank you in advance.”

…

Li Ran turned the trial into a farming game.

In the end, Song Qingsong was on the verge of collapse.

“Li Ran, you can’t just choose a single victim and rob it dry! At least rob others a bit!” Tears streamed down his face.

Li Ran was a bit embarrassed, scratching his head, “Sorry about this, I tried robbing the others, but their spoils are nothing compared to you, so…”

“…This is too much!”

Song Qingsong finally understood, Li Ran wouldn’t let him off, so continuing to pick herbs would only end up helping him, so he gave up on harvesting the plant by himself and planned to rob other participants instead.

He can’t beat Li Ran, but there are some others that he can beat.

Song Qingsong specifically targeted those with lower cultivation levels. Regardless of what they picked, he stuffed everything into his own storage ring.

At this point, he didn’t care about the immortal materials.

He just hoped for the time to end soon, to enter the next round of trials and end this nightmare.

As more and more people joined the ranks of robbery, those who were robbed also wanted to rob others. For a while, the entire herb-covered mountain was filled with grievances.

The last group of people directly started fighting…

…

Meanwhile, the instigator of all this, Li Ran, was leisurely strolling in the mountains, gnawing on an immortal pear.

Xiao Qingge beside him was searching for the traces of the Life Fruits.

Li Ran glanced at her and said, “You’re probably not an ordinary person, right?”

“Huh?” Xiao Qingge became nervous, and started wondering about whether he had discovered her true identity or not.

“Why do you ask that?” she replied.

Li Ran shrugged, “Ordinary people wouldn’t know about the secret realm or the Life Fruits. You seem to know a bit too much.”

Xiao Qingge fell silent.

After a while, she said in a low voice, “I’m sorry, I did hide some things from you…”

She didn’t want to deceive Li Ran, but seeing him so confident and proud, she didn’t have the courage to reveal her true identity.

The gap between them was just too significant, enough to make her feel desperate.

Li Ran smiled, “No need to apologize. Everyone has their secrets. If I were to reveal mine, it might scare you to death.”

He had no interest in prying into other people’s privacy.

Xiao Qingge shook her head, feeling bitter inside.

‘But my secret is related to you! I’m standing right in front of you, yet I can’t acknowledge our connection…’ Her thoughts surged.

After a long while, she cautiously asked, “Can I ask you a question?”

“Ask away, but I might not answer,” Li Ran said.

Xiao Qingge’s cheeks reddened slightly, “Um… may I ask if you have someone you like?”

Li Ran was taken aback, upon hearing it, then, with a serious expression, he nodded his head and said: “I do.”
