Xianxia: The Sect Master Is My Girlfriend

Above the mountain hollow, Li Ran and Yue Jianli hovered in the air.

“I’m going to Five Yang City for a while. What about you? Are you returning to the Sect?” Li Ran asked.

Yue Jianli shook her head, “The Sect has sent a message asking me to visit the Cloud Soaring Mountain.”

In fact, she had received this message a long time ago but had chosen to ignore it.

During their time in Yunxiao Village, she felt an inexplicable reluctance to leave, dragging her feet and unwilling to depart.

Li Ran sighed, “Who knows when we’ll meet again after we part ways.”

Yue Jianli turned her head away, “Considering our different paths, it’s better for us to not meet again.”

For some reason, her voice sounded a bit choked, and she felt a sense of unease in her heart.

Li Ran was already accustomed to her words not matching her true feelings.

“Well then, I’ll just have to avoid you…” he teased.

“If you dare!” Yue Jianli pouted angrily, “If you try to avoid me, I’ll–I’ll kill you!”

Li Ran chuckled, “Hah~ You always talk about fighting, you’ll never find a husband that way.”

Huffing, Yue Jianli retorted, “For me, my sword alone is enough!”

“Yes yes, you’re a noble sword immortal, uninterested in worldly matters, right?” Li Ran teased, “Well, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be off.”

“Wait.”

Yue Jianli stopped him and said softly, “Be careful. The situation with Song Qingsong is getting serious. I’m probably going to Cloud Soaring Mountain this time because of it.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t reveal anything that happened in the secret realm.”

“It’s best if you don’t stay outside for too long. Once things are settled, hurry back to the Sect and wait for the storm to pass.”

She kept advising him, showing no signs of the aloof sword immortal.

“Alright, I got it.”

Li Ran reached out and tousled her hair, “Do you even know who I am? Even the Moonlight Venerable wants to mess with me, they’d better think twice.”

“Pfft, you’re the most formidable…” Yue Jianli’s face turned red, but she didn’t push away Li Ran’s hand.

“Well, I’m really leaving this time.”

“Mmm…”

“Goodbye, wife.”

“Who–who–who’s your wife!”

Yue Jianli was about to draw her sword, but Li Ran had already disappeared without a trace.

Her cheeks flushed red, teeth gnashing with anger, “This scoundrel, don’t let me catch you next time!”

After saying this, a smile tugged at the corners of her mouth again, her eyes shimmering with waves of emotion.

“Goodbye…”

— Five Yang City —

This was the imperial capital of the dynasty, the most prosperous city-state in the vast land.

Thus, flight was prohibited over the capital.

Li Ran landed outside the city and walked towards the city gate with his hands behind his back.

The city walls of Five Yang City were tall and sturdy. Above the massive city gate, the characters “Five Yang” were engraved in silver hooks and iron paintings.

The characters were directly carved into the wall, imposing and formidable, seeming to possess a power that could suppress all demons and evil spirits.

It was said that these characters were personally written by the ancient emperor of the Sheng Clan, capable of suppressing all demonic entities.

There was strict scrutiny at the city gate, with those entering the city queuing up and waiting for the soldiers’ inspection.

Li Ran patiently waited at the back of the line.

It was the dead of winter, but he was only wearing a thin white shirt. Coupled with his exceptionally handsome face, it was obvious that he came from an extraordinary background.

This attracted the attention of those around him.

When it was his turn, the inspecting soldiers were momentarily stunned, then exclaimed, “Young Master Li, you’re back?!”

Li Ran was also taken aback, “You know me?”

The soldier grinned flatteringly, “Young Master Li, you are as handsome as a jade tree and as charming as a firefly in the dark night. How could a lowly person like me not recognize you?”

Li Ran: “…”

As the imperial capital, Five Yang City had a constant flow of cultivators coming and going every day, including ruthless and bloodthirsty villains from the demonic path.

Therefore, gate inspections had become a high-risk profession, with a slight mistake possibly costing one’s life.

For this reason, the soldiers had compiled a booklet listing several individuals who absolutely should not be provoked.

And Li Ran was at the top of the list, with a danger level of five stars!

“Young Master Li is here, hurry up and come welcome him!”

With that shout from the soldier, everyone forgot about the inspection and rushed over.

Standing in front of Li Ran, they all bowed deeply, “Welcome home, Young Master Li!”

“…”

“This momentum, I almost thought I came to a bathhouse center.”

Li Ran couldn’t help but joke weakly as he walked into the city under the awe-filled gazes of the people.

Standing on the streets of Five Yang City,

Although he had countless memories of this city, Li Ran couldn’t help but sigh at the sight.

It was too bustling.

The roads paved with bluestones were extremely wide, with shops lining both sides of the streets.

The eaves were curled, exuding a strong ancient charm.

The streets were bustling with people, and the penetrating cries of vendors could be heard, creating a lively atmosphere.

Looking around, he could see the palace in the distance, climbing like stairs.

The central palace was located at the highest point, with blue tiles and golden brilliance visible from afar.

The surrounding palaces were scattered at different heights, like stars surrounding the moon.

“The city planning is quite good,” Li Ran nodded in approval.

This time he returned to Five Yang City with two things to do.

First, to annul the marriage contract.

And the other was to deliver the Life Fruit.

Li Ran attached great importance to this agreement.

After spending time together, he and Xiao Qingge had become true friends.

Moreover, she was concerned about his safety and insisted on giving him the Life Fruit, a kindness he greatly valued.

But apart from knowing her name as “Sun Qingqing,” he knew nothing else about her.

‘That girl didn’t give me her address, just said that I would naturally see her when I arrived in Five Yang City.’

Just then, a group of people rushed past him.

Li Ran grabbed one of them, “Brother, do you know how to get to the Sun Family Residence?”

“I don’t know,” the man shook his head, “The Li family and the Xiao family are having a showdown. Something big will happen today, so why are you looking for the Sun Family Residence?”

“The Li family… the Xiao family… showdown?” Li Ran was taken aback.

What the hell happened?
