The atmosphere in the secret chamber was solemn.
Leng Wuyan and Yi Qinglan sat on the chair with their shoulders crossed.
Li Ran and Lin Langyue stood in front of them obediently, as if they had made a mistake.
Lin Langyue asked in a low voice, "Master, why are you here?"
Yi Qinglan snorted. "What, you’re afraid that this poor Daoist will ruin your plans?"
"This disciple doesn't mean…" Lin Langyue quickly shook her head.
"Tell me, what exactly is going on?"
"It's like this…" Lin Langyue explained what happened after she met Yu Ye.
Hearing that Li Ran had saved her life, Yi Qinglan's expression softened slightly.
Then, he said in surprise, "You're saying that not only did he kill a Deity Transformation Realm cultivator, he also killed a Tribulation Crossing ancient corpse under the isolation of his dao techniques?"
"Yes, yes." Lin Langyue nodded. "I saw it with my own eyes."
Yi Qinglan glanced at Li Ran and said in confusion, "You clearly only have a Nascent Soul cultivation, and you only have a bit more qi. How could that be…"
In actuality, it was not her fault for being surprised.
If Li Ran hadn't been lucky enough to use the Six Words of Truth with the help of the Buddha’s Bone, he probably wouldn't have been able to deal with that ancient corpse.
To Yi Qinglan, this sounds somewhat exaggerated.
Leng Wuyan snorted and said proudly, "What's impossible about that? How could my disciple be comparable to an ordinary Nascent Soul?"
Yi Qinglan frowned. There was something in these words.
"Who are you calling an ordinary Nascent Soul?"
Leng Wuyan hugged her shoulders. "Who knows."
"Leng Wuyan, do you really think I'm afraid of you?“
"Haha, I don't think you can beat me!“
“???” Li Ran and Lin Langyue felt a bit dazed.
How could these two Emperor-level experts bicker like a little child…
"She's Yi Qinglan?"
This was the first time Li Ran had seen her.
Leng Wuyan named her as the "most annoying person".
This Daoist nun was wearing a veil, and her appearance could not be seen clearly. Her pair of eyes seemed to be able to see through the human heart.
Her figure was hidden under the white Daoist robe. Although he could not see her true appearance, she gave off the impression of being very young.
Standing together with Lin Langyue, they would probably be treated as sisters.
Yi Qinglan noticed Li Ran's gaze, and her eyes flashed.
Li Ran immediately felt the heavens and the earth pressing down on him. The pressure was several times stronger than the Dao Laws in the secret realm, and it instantly pressed him down.
“Yi Qinglan!"
Leng Wuyan was about to flip out when she suddenly stopped.
Li Ran's entire body blossomed with golden light. The golden ancient seals covered his skin, and his entire body's muscles and bones emitted ‘crunching' sounds. Then, under the immense pressure, he raised his chest up!
A trace of dark red flashed across his eyes as he looked coldly at Yi Qinglan.
"Is this how the Tianshu Institute treats its benefactors?"
"Benefactor?" Yi Qinglan's eyes narrowed slightly.
With a faint aura of blood, Li Ran walked towards her with great difficulty.
"I saved more than ten disciples of the Tianshu Institute during the beast tide!"
"While facing a Deity Transformation Realm cultivator, if I was a step too late, Lin Langyue would’ve died!”
"I don't want to use kindness as an excuse, but…"
He walked in front of Yi Qinglan and looked down at her. "Is the way you treat your benefactor?!”
Yi Qinglan's eyes trembled.
Other than Leng Wuyan, no one else dared to question her like this!
"How do you explain that scene just now?"
Her heart almost stopped when she saw her beloved disciple kneeling on the bed and massaging the man.
If it wasn't for Leng Wuyan, she wouldn't even know what she would do.
"Explain?" Li Ran sneered, "You're not my master. Why should I explain to you?"
Yi Qinglan said indifferently, "Do you really think this poor Daoist doesn't dare to kill you?"
"Master!" Lin Langyue let out a startled cry. She wanted to stand in front of Li Ran but realized that she couldn't move at all.
Li Ran nodded. "That's right, you don't dare."
Leng Wuyan said coldly, "Yi Qinglan, if you repeat such words again, I'll immediately kill you.“
Yi Qinglan was angered half to death by the master-disciple duo.
If you, Leng Wuyan, bullied me, then forget about it.
But how could your disciple bully my disciple?
"I admit that the Tianshu Institute owes you a debt of gratitude, but do you know that this will destroy Langyue's Dao Heart?" She's unhappy.
Li Ran shook his head and said, "What's the use of such an easily destroyed thing?"
"What did you say?" Yi Qinglan frowned.
“Cultivation is a struggle against the heavens, and every step is paved with bones! If even the Dao Heart needs to be carefully protected, how can one survive the competition of all living things?"
Li Ran's face was filled with disdain, and his voice was loud and clear. "Flowers in a greenhouse aren't worthy of climbing the Immortal Path. Only trees that grow in lightning have the qualifications to live forever! As an Emperor-level expert, you still need me to tell you this logic?"
In any case, with Leng Wuyan's support, he had no fear whatsoever.
It was also a good time for him and his master to breathe a sigh of relief.
However, Yi Qinglan didn't get angry, and she said calmly, "You don't know the Emotioness Dao, so you're just taking it for granted."
Li Ran shook his head. "I think you guys are the ones to take it for granted? Only in love could one forget love. A group of Daoist nuns who had never even talked about love, how could they be talking about forgetting love?"
"You!" Yi Qinglan's eyes stirred up waves for the first time.
"Sharp-tongued! Leng Wuyan, this is your good disciple?"
Leng Wuyan nodded. "That's right, he’s truly my good disciple. He’s said every single word in my heart."
Li Ran said humbly, "It's all thanks to Master's guidance."
Leng Wuyan gave him a thumbs up.
Li Ran blinked at her.
Yi Qinglan almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
The master and disciple were the same!
"Our Dao is different, and we have no plans of changing ours! Langyue, return with me.” Yi Qinglan stood up and left.
Lin Langyue nodded. "Yes, Master."
She looked at Li Ran with a reluctant gaze, but she did not say much.
"Daoist Yi, you haven't thanked me yet." Li Ran chased after her.
Yi Qinglan turned a deaf ear.
Lin Langyue turned around and said, "Thank you…“
"Don't thank him!"
Yi Qinglan waved her right hand and the two of them disappeared.
The room became quiet.
Li Ran shook his head. "This Daoist Yi really doesn't know how to be polite. Is this how she treats her benefactor?"
At this moment, he saw Leng Wuyan's strange expression and hastily approached her with an embarrassed smile, "Master, how was your disciple's performance just now?"
Leng Wuyan nodded, "Pretty all right, you almost angered Yi Qinglan to death."
"Hehe, as long as Master is satisfied, this is what this disciple should do.” Li Ran's smile was flattering.
"So…"
Leng Wuyan said indifferently, "You want Lin Langyue to massage your back with her thigh?"
Li Ran was speechless. "……"
