Dining hall became quiet.
Only after a while did Li Daoyuan come back to his senses. He asked carefully, "Sect Master Chu, what exactly are you looking for Li Ran for?"
Chu Lingchuan helplessly said, "Isn't it for that disciple thing?"
"Disciple?"
This was troublesome.
Li Daoyuan was completely numb.
What he had been worried about all along had finally happened.
But to think that it would be the grandmaster herself.
It seemed like the seriousness of matter far exceeded his imagination!
"We need to contact the ancestor quickly!"
Now, only the Clan Emperor taking action would it be possible to turn the tide.
At this time, Chu Lingchuan said, "I've come to visit rashly, Li Clan Chief. However, I've met your Li Ancestor yesterday."
Li Daoyuan was stunned. "You've already met the ancestor?"
"I have." Chu Lingchuan said," Yesterday, we chatted in the Li family's secret ground for a while, but Ancestor Li was still quite strong… Interesting."
She originally wanted to say something ridiculous, but she held back.
Li Daoyuan's heart went cold.
Other party had already met the ancestor, yet she was still here. Didn't that mean that the ancestor couldn't do anything to her?
What should he do?
He swallowed his saliva and said, "Sect Master Chu, just now, I was blind and did not recognize Mount Tai. Please forgive me if I offended you."
Chu Lingchuan nodded and said, "Clan Chief Li is too polite. I came uninvited, as long as you don't mind."
"Of course not!" Li Daoyuan hurriedly said, "My Li Manor is honored by your presence. It's no problem for you to stay for as long as you want."
Chu Lingchuan smiled.
Patriarch Li was quite anxious, unlike that grandfather and grandson pair.
"Looks like the Li family still has normal people…" she muttered to herself.
Li Daoyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "In that case, how do you plan to resolve this matter?"
Chu Lingchuan shrugged. "That depends on the att.i.tude of Sheng Zi Li."
"Att.i.tude?" Li Daoyuan hastily said, "I guarantee you, Li Ran is taking this relationship seriously. He's definitely not playing around!"
"Ah?" Other four were stunned.
Chu Lingchuan frowned and said, "What relationship?"
"It's him and…" Before Li Daoyuan could finish his sentence, Li Ran grabbed a bun and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Dad, can't you even stop eating?"
Li Daoyuan held the bun in his mouth with a puzzled expression.
Cold sweat rolled down Li Ran's forehead.
What a pig teammate.
If it weren't for his quick reflexes, he would've exposed him!
Li Ran said with a smile, "Sect Master Chu came here to take Shen Ning as her disciple. Father, what are you talking about?"
Li Daoyuan's small eyes were filled with great doubts.
To accept Shen Ning as a disciple?
Was it not for Yue Jianli?
Then wouldn't he almost expose his son?
At this moment, Chu Lingchuan asked curiously, "What kind of feelings did you just say? What are you playing at?"
Li Daoyuan wiped his cold sweat and said with an embarra.s.sed smile, "It's nothing. I'm saying that Li Ran has always respected you. If there's nothing else, you can come over and play."
"Respect?" Chu Lingchuan didn't know what she had thought, and her face blushed.
He covered her mouth, scratched her foot, and even hit her. Last night, it was as if they were tearing down a family, causing such a huge commotion.
Is this fellow that respectful of me?
If it weren't for Shen Ning, she wouldn't have stayed any longer.
Li Daoyuan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party didn't press on.
He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
"This is too dangerous…"
Yue Jianli didn't dare stay for long.
After confirming that her master was not there to cause trouble, she stood up and said, "Master, since there's nothing to do here, I'll return to the encampment first."
Immortal Ascension a.s.sembly was not over yet.
At present, all the sects were still in Central City. They wanted to see if they could receive some good seedlings. Myriad Sword Pavilion also had the same plan.
Li Ran didn't want to partic.i.p.ate anymore.
Harvest this time had far exceeded his expectations. He had to leave some soup for other sects.
Chu Lingchuan nodded. "That's fine too. Once the meeting is over, you can bring people back to the sect."
"Yes," Yue Jianli replied.
Before she left, she secretly glanced at Li Ran.
Two of them looked at each other. Everything was silent.
Main reason was that Chu Lingchuan was at the side. At such a close distance, they didn't even dare to send a soul communication.
Yue Jianli left the dining hall and had just arrived at the Li Mansion's entrance when he b.u.mped into two figures.
Qin Ruyan and Lin Langyue walked into the Li Mansion side by side.
"Eh? Chief Yue is here as well…"
Before Qin Ruyan could finish her sentence, Yue Jianli pulled the two away.
They ran five streets before gradually slowing down.
Both of them were dumbfounded.
"Chief Yue, what are you doing?" Yue Jianli was slightly afraid, so she sent a mental message to their soul, "Don't mention anything. My master is in the Li Clan!"
"Your master?"
Two of them cried out in alarm. "Are you saying that Sect Master Chu has come?"
Yue Jianli nodded seriously.
Lin Langyue and Qin Ruyan looked at each other with solemn expressions.
"What is she doing with the Li family? Is she looking for trouble with the Holy Son?"
"Let's contact the sect and get Master to come and save us!"
Yue Jianli stopped them, "Don't be anxious. Master's mood is very stable. It's for Shen Ning's sake. She shouldn't be looking for trouble."
Li Ran had already hinted to her not to worry.
When the two heard this, they heaved a sigh of relief.
Qin Ruyan was still a bit worried. "But who can guess the thoughts of an Emperor-level expert? What if she secretly makes a move?"
Yue Jianli shook her head. "Don't worry. My master doesn't know what it's like to make a move in secret. Usually, she'll take revenge in person."
Lin Langyue thought for a moment and said, "How about this? Qin Ruyan and I will be staying near the Li family for the next few days. We can keep an eye on the movements of the Li family at any time."
Qin Ruyan praised her colleague. "That's right, you can go back first so as not to arouse your master's suspicion."
Yue Jianli nodded." It'll be hard on you two. If you have any unusual movements, you must inform me immediately."
"Alright." Three of them stood in the same line.
Lin Langyue looked in the direction of Li family with a worried expression.
"Li Ran, don't let anything happen to you…"
……
Li Manor…
"Kill!"
"Hahaha, Sect Master Chu, you've lost again!"
Li Ran, Xiao Qingge, Aqin, and Chu Lingchuan sat around the table. In front of them was a huge military chessboard.
Chu Lingchuan's face was covered with a piece of paper. She gritted her teeth and said, "Li Ran, you attacked me again!"
Li Ran shook his head and said, "This is called deception in war…"
"I won’t let you cheat!" Chu Lingchuan stood up and threw Li Ran to the ground.
"You will beat me if you can't win!"
"You!"
"Don't hit the face!"
"No, don't grab my feet!"
