Chapter 232: Working Hard to Cultivate, Breaking the Heart of Yi Qinglan
White Cloud Peak.
Yi Qinglan laid on the bed with her hands on her pretty face and her calves swaying gently.
If it were in the past, she would never have done anything like this.
But now, it was very natural.
A trace of shyness flashed through her eyes as she recalled her experience from two days ago.
“This is ridiculous…”
Not only did she share a room with Li Ran, she even shared a bed with him.
Although she didn’t lie down and remained in meditation, Li Ran was too dishonest. With the help of Red Line, she couldn’t resist.
If she didn’t use her last bit of strength, she might not even have the last line of defense.
“This ridiculous little thief!”
Yi Qinglan bit her lips as her eyes lit up.
Moreover, hug between the two of them was almost caught by Leng Wuyan.
“I don’t think they’re normal master-disciple relationships. Leng Wuyan is too close to him, and she’s even so resistant to forgetting about love.”
“If it wasn’t an illegitimate child, could it be…”
At this moment, a flash of light flashed in her mind.
Could it be that they have that kind of relationship?
This thought only lasted for a second before Yi Qinglan shook her head and denied it.
“That’s impossible. Leng Wuyan hates men even more than this poor Daoist. She’s extremely repulsive towards men and women having a relationship. How could she be mixed up with her disciples?”
Just as she was day dreaming, the deacon’s voice came from outside the door.
“Chief… Chief Lin wants to see you.”
“Lin Langyue?” Yi Qinglan hurriedly stood up. With a flick of her Daoist robe, the bed disappeared.
After tidying up her clothes, she said, “Let her in.”
“Yes.” The door was pushed open, and Lin Langyue walked in. “Greetings, Master.”
Yi Qinglan nodded, “Why are you looking for me?”
She turned around and closed the door. With a charming smile, she said, “It’s nothing. I just miss Master.”
Yi Qinglan glanced at her, “Little girl, I wonder who you learned this from… Tell me, what’s going on?”
Lin Langyue scratched her head and said, “I heard that Master made a move against the Joyous Unity Sect. I was a little worried and wanted to come over and take a look.”
Yi Qinglan glanced at her and said calmly, “I think you’re worried about Li Ran…”
Lin Langyue’s thoughts were seen through, and she grinned.
Yi Qinglan shook her head, “Don’t worry. Not only is Li Ran unharmed, but he also benefited from it.”
As she said that, she snorted inwardly. “I almost had a romantic encounter…”
“That’s good.” Lin Langyue relaxed.
Looking at her disciple’s expression, Yi Qinglan’s emotions were complicated.
Langyue definitely liked Li Ran, but she was tangled with him. Now that Li Ran had become her disciple, she could be considered her junior brother.
“Why is this poor Daoist involved in such a chaotic relationship?”
Yi Qinglan frowned.
Lin Langyue didn’t notice and whispered, “Master, I don’t know what’s wrong with this disciple recently. I always think of Li Ran in my heart. I especially want to see him once, even if it’s just a few words.”
“Hai, so is I…”
“Ah?” Faced with her puzzled gaze, Yi Qinglan snapped back to her senses. She blushed and stammered, “So is I… I’m convinced. How can you be so greedy for men?”
Lin Langyue lowered her head in shame. “I don’t want to, but I can’t control my thoughts.”
Seeing that she wasn’t suspicious, Yi Qinglan relaxed and said seriously, “Although Li Ran is your Heavenly Dao, you must exercise restraint and abide by your heart.”
“Don’t let your imagination run wild in the future. Focus on your cultivation. The outer phase doesn’t enter, and the inner phase doesn’t come out. Only by severing the mortal heart can all methods be understood.”
Lin Langyue nodded. Looking at Yi Qinglan’s ethereal appearance, she couldn’t help but praise her.
“When will I be able to be like Master, sitting high in the clouds and floating in the sky, not being troubled by this emotion?”
Yi Qinglan said calmly, “Thinking of my realm, you still have a long way to go…”
Before she could finish her sentence, her expression suddenly froze, and her eyes filled with joy and excitement.
Lin Langyue whispered when she saw that she was silent.
Cough! Cough!
“Master?”
Yi Qinglan cleared her throat and said, “Go cultivate first. This poor Daoist has important matters to deal with.”
“Oh, okay.” Lin Langyue nodded and left.
Just as the door closed, Yi Qinglan waved her sleeve, and a large bed appeared out of nowhere.
She sat down gracefully and looked at the glowing Red Line on her wrist. She could not help but smile.
“Little thief, can you hear me?”
……
At the residence of Sheng Zi Li.
Aqin looked at the tightly closed bedroom door with a puzzled expression.
“Strange, the Sheng Zi Li has never cultivated. Why did he start meditating the moment he came back today?”
“He even said that he’s going to vent his anger and strive for strength so that he can get back as soon as possible… It’s really strange.”
She walked over and gently knocked on the door.
“Lord Sheng Zi Li, it’s getting late. Do you want to go to bed?”
There was no response from the room.
Aqin was a little worried and pushed the door open.
One could only see Li Ran sitting cross-legged on the cushion, his body covered in ancient golden seals. His spirit energy was surging honestly, and the Daoist method and the Sanskrit sound complemented each other.
“So he’s really cultivating hard.”
Aqin closed the door silently.
“My lord is already very strong, but he still works so hard. Aqin can’t fall behind!
“For the sake of the Sheng Zi Li, I must build my foundation as soon as possible!”
She raised her pink fist and cheered herself on. She walked back to the room in an imposing manner.
Aqin was doing it for Li Ran, and Li Ran was doing it for Leng Wuyan.
This pair, each carrying a great dream, worked hard to cultivate.
However, even though Li Ran was ‘in seclusion’, he didn’t forget his promise to Yi Qinglan. He still connected to the Red Line regularly.
A voice came from the Red Line. “This feeling… Little thief, are you cultivating?”
Li Ran nodded. “I need to break through to the Heavenly Tribulation realm as soon as possible.”
“Heavenly Tribulation realm?” Yi Qinglan was a little puzzled. “This poor Daoist remembers that you are not interested in cultivation. Why are you so active now?”
Li Ran smiled and said, “The person I like is too strong. I have to work hard to improve my cultivation before I can meet her…”
Yi Qinglan was taken aback, “Someone you like?”
Her heart suddenly felt sour and bitter. He said, “To be able to make you work so hard, that person must be outstanding, right?”
Li Ran said, “Of course, she is the most outstanding woman I have ever met.”
Yi Qinglan felt even worse. She endured the pain and asked, “Then what kind of person is she?”
Li Ran thought for a moment and said, “She is very beautiful. She is very powerful and has a high status. She looks cold, but her heart is very gentle…”
Yi Qinglan was stunned.
Her heart began to beat faster, and she asked nervously, “What’s her name, the person you mentioned?”
Li Ran shook his head. “It’s related to her reputation; I won’t mention her name to anyone. When I reach the top of the cultivation world and have the strength to stand beside her, Master Qinglan will naturally know!”
……
After a moment of silence, Yi Qinglan’s shy voice rang out, “Defiant disciple, you’re really daring!”
Li Ran was confused. “Hm?”
Her voice was both bashful and fl.u.s.tered, and there was a trace of surprise in it. She said in a trembling voice, “You must practice hard. I believe you…”
Voice grew smaller and smaller, almost impossible to hear.
Li Ran scratched his head, feeling that something was wrong.
