Please, I Really Didn't Want To Fall in...

Chapter 280: System Mission is Released!

There was absolute silence on the stage.

All eyes were focused on that man.

His figure was tall and straight, and his face was fair and handsome. His expression was somewhat lazy and unruly. His eyes flickered slightly as if he was hiding the stars.

Li Ran came.

He had too many names: Devil Sheng Zi Li, number one on the Heavenly Devil ranking, the World Suppressing Heavenly Devil, the number one genius in the vast land.

Everything that he did was shocking.

He beat up the Righteous disciples, crushed Lin Langyue, forced the beast tide back, and broke through to Deity Transformation at 20.

This man was like a dark cloud pressing down on the heads of all the geniuses, making them unable to breathe.

Faced with this peerless genius, everyone couldn't even compare and envy. There was only respect and fear.

Since everyone couldn't compete with Li Ran, there seemed to be nothing shameful about it.

Citizens were also somewhat restless.

Li Ran was a household name in Central City. His ill.u.s.trious reputation was not inferior to the Sheng Clan's royal family.

"This is the legendary Devil Sheng Zi Li?"

"You were the one who called the Devil Sheng Zi Li!"

"He's so handsome. He's much more handsome than the portrait!"

"Yeah, I couldn't tell he was someone from the Devil Dao."

"For the sake of Sheng Zi Li, I must join Youluo Temple!"

"Nice thought. If you want to join a top-tier sect, you must at least start with a high-grade talent, alright?"

……

Family disciples at the side were discussing quietly.

Under everyone's gazes, Li Ran was very calm.

His light body rose, his white clothes fluttered in the wind as he landed gracefully on the high platform.

"Yo… everyone's here?" Li Ran smiled. "Sorry, I ate too much in the morning. I can't walk too fast."

Qin Ruyan couldn't help but laugh. "I didn't expect that Sheng Zi Li is quite good at taking care of his health."

"If Saint Qin is interested, we can discuss it." Li Ran blinked at her.

Qin Ruyan's face turned slightly red as she said with a charming smile, "This servant will accompany you at any time. It will depend on when Sheng Zi Li has time…"

"Qin Ruyan!"

Yue Jianli said coldly, "Please restrain yourself. This is the Immortal Ascension a.s.sembly, not the place where you can cause trouble."

To think that she had listened to this witch's words before, but now she realized that she had been plotting against Li Ran.

Qin Ruyan didn't seem to mind as she chuckled. "Chief Yue said this. What does the Righteous Path have to do when I speak to Sheng Zi Li?"

Yue Jianli was fl.u.s.tered but helpless.

She couldn't swear sovereignty in front of the Righteous Path, right?

Qin Ruyan was clearly convinced of this, which was why she was so shameless.

Lin Langyue's face was as cold as frost. "Saint Qin, the meeting is about to begin. You should restrain yourself.”

Qin Ruyan pouted and said pitifully, "Sheng Zi Li, look at them. They are all bullying me…"

Other two women were also staring at Li Ran.

Li Ran wiped his cold sweat. What’s with the sudden killing intent?

He cleared his throat. "Alright, let's all sit down. This is more important."

After saying that, she sat down on the chair.

Seeing this, three of them couldn't say anything more. They snorted and sat back down.

When Li Ran sat down, the rest of the cultivators and the royal family sat down. His status and influence were evident.

Deacon of the Imperial court asked, "Your Highness, can we begin now?"

Sheng Zhixia nodded. "Let's begin."

As she spoke, her bright eyes stared at Li Ran without blinking.

The last time she was impulsive, she actually took the initiative to kiss him. This made the Flood Dragon Princess' heart endlessly shy.

A trace of redness floated across her face. She bit her lips gently, and her eyes sparkled.

Following a melodious bell, the Immortal Ascension a.s.sembly officially began.

Clan's disciples who had reported their names in advance had to follow the order of the list and touch the stone. The sect would decide whether or not to accept them into the sect according to their talent.

If two or more sects were to take a liking to them, then the decision would come to the person.

It was all up to them to choose which sect to join.

"Feng Family's disciple, go on stage to test your talent!"

Family members were both nervous and worried. This was a moment that could change the fate of their lives.

The representatives of the various sects also focused their attention.

Li Ran's attention was not here.

He was in dire straits.

He didn't know how the seats were arranged. The Righteous and Devil paths did not separate, and all the chairs were in a row.

Li Ran sat in the middle.

On the left was Lin Langyue, and on the right was Qin Ruyan.

Their killing intent surged in the air.

He covered his face.

Suddenly, he felt a little regretful about coming to this meeting…

Qin Ruyan leaned into his ear and said, "I angered Chief Yue just now. Don't tell me Sheng Zi Li's heart hurts?"

Li Ran rolled his eyes at her. "So you've committed a crime that you already knew?"

Qin Ruyan couldn't help but ask, "This servant just wants to be close to Sheng Zi Li…"

"Get close to your sister…" He could tell that this witch was doing this on purpose.

Ahem!

Lin Langyue's voice was cold. "Please be careful. Don't affect the others."

Then, she glared at Li Ran.

Li Ran rubbed his nose awkwardly.

Seeing her sitting upright and cold, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he quietly held her little hand.

Lin Langyue was stunned for a moment, and her face turned red. "Li… Li Ran, are you crazy?”

Li Ran said seriously, "Please be careful, Chief Lin. Don't affect others."

Lin Langyue glared at him.

This disciple of the Tianshu Inst.i.tute stood behind him in public. How could this guy dare to hold her hand?

What if they were discovered?

Her heart was both fl.u.s.tered and shy. She wished she could find a hole to burrow in.

But she was reluctant to break free.

Li Ran's eyes were full of smiles.

Just as she was about to say something, a long-awaited notification sounded in her mind.

Ding!

A mission is released. Host, please recruit geniuses at the Immortal Ascension a.s.sembly to help the development of the sect!

He was slightly taken aback. "It actually triggered the mission?"

Screen in front of him opened, and the task panel appeared.

Below the mission introduction, there was something similar to the progress bar.

Talent and number of disciples to recruit determined the progress of the mission.

He would receive the highest reward if the progress bar was full.

Corners of Li Ran's mouth curled up.

"Looks like I didn’t come for nothing in this Immortal Ascension a.s.sembly!"

Not only could he recruit geniuses for the sect, but he could also get a reward for himself. He was simply joyful!

At this moment, a voice came from the high platform:

"Feng Yueyue, high-grade talent!"

A little girl was standing in the middle of the Dao Seeking Stage. The measuring stone in front of her emitted a dazzling light.

The first and second-rate sects immediately became restless.

"Qilin Villa welcomes you!"

“Ice Profound Valley is willing to accept you as a direct disciple!"

"Don't fight with my Misty Cloud Sect!"

"My Haotian Sect…"

This was the first high grade that had been given out today. All the sects were unwilling to miss it.

Li Ran snapped his fingers, and the Youluo Temple attendant behind him immediately understood. His voice was loud and clear:

"My Youluo Temple wants this person!"

Noise suddenly stopped.
