Xianxia: The Sect Master Is My Girlfriend

At the Li Mansion.

Grand Elder Li Daoshi stared at the mud-like figure of Li Sheng in front of him, his eyes nearly shooting flames.

“What on earth happened? Li Sheng just went to the Xiao family to challenge them, so why has his cultivation been crippled!”

Could it be that the Xiao family broke the rules and that their patriarch or an elder took action?

“Does the Xiao family want to declare war on my Li family?!” Li Daoshi ground his teeth in fury.

The steward, trembling on his knees, whispered, “Grand Elder, Young Master Sheng’s cultivation wasn’t crippled by the Xiao family…”

“Not the Xiao family?”

Li Daoshi frowned, “Then who did it? The Liu family or the Feng family?”

The steward’s legs were shaking as he hesitated, “I dare not say…”

Li Daoshi grabbed him by the collar, his voice icy, “If you don’t speak, I’ll kill you right now!”

The steward swallowed hard and stammered, “It was Young Master Li Ran. He personally crippled Young Master Sheng’s cultivation…”

“Li Ran?!”

Li Daoshi was stunned.

He never expected this answer.

“What exactly happened? Explain it clearly!” Li Daoshi demanded coldly.

The steward swallowed again and recounted everything he had witnessed in detail.

As Li Daoshi listened, his eyes grew colder, and finally, he stomped the ground in rage, causing it to crack!

“For that Xiao family wench, he crippled my son’s cultivation! This is intolerable!”

“This enmity is irreconcilable! Li Ran, I will make you pay for this!”

Li Daoshi’s eyes were bloodshot, and his furious roars echoed throughout the room.

…

At the Xiao Mansion.

Xiao Nian was beaming.

Since the passing of the old ancestor, he had never been so happy.

Xiao Qingge’s cultivation was restored!

The Life Fruit lived up to its name as an immortal material, not only did it allow Xiao Qingge to regain her talent once more, but it also fully restored her lost cultivation.

She was now at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, just a step away from the Golden Core stage!

“Dear nephew, try this tea. It’s an immortal tea I’ve been saving and reluctant to drink.” Xiao Nian smiled brightly.

Li Ran nodded and took a sip.

“It’s an excellent tea.”

“You have great taste, dear nephew!”

“…”

Xiao Qingge laughed, “Father, you’re flattering him too much.”

“What do you mean flattering? Nephew Li helped you regain your cultivation. He is a great benefactor to the Xiao family, and I must treat him with the utmost respect.”

Xiao Nian found Li Ran more pleasing to the eye with each passing moment.

He was handsome, talented, and treated Xiao Qingge well.

The only contentious point was his background in the demonic sect.

But the cultivation world always revered strength.

If you came from a third-rate sect, no matter how righteous you were, no one would take you seriously.

However, if you came from a top-tier sect, even if you were a ruthless demon, everyone would still show respect and fear.

That’s the reality.

Moreover, the Hidden Gauze Sect was different from other demonic sects, since it lacked a notorious reputation.

Xiao Nian glanced at the two of them, his eyes shifting thoughtfully, and said, “I have some matters to attend to. You two can chat.”

With that, he got up and left, leaving them alone.

The atmosphere grew quiet, with a hint of tenderness lingering in the air.

Xiao Qingge softly said, “Li Ran, you didn’t come for so long. I was worried something had happened to you in the secret realm. I’ve been on edge these past days…”

Li Ran nodded, “There were some complications that delayed me for a few days.”

He briefly recounted what had happened afterward.

Including killing Song Qingsong, obtaining the Blazing Sky Flame, and being ambushed by Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion cultivator.

Xiao Qingge listened with bated breath, covering her mouth and exclaiming in surprise.

When she heard about the collapse of the secret realm, nearly burying him, she started checking him over carefully.

“Where are you hurt? Is it serious?”

“It’s nothing, just some meridian disruption, which I’ve already taken care of,” Li Ran said.

“That’s good.”

Xiao Qingge sighed in relief, but then she wondered, “Who took care of you during those days when you lost your cultivation?”

“Well…”

Li Ran’s mind flashed to the image of Yue Jianli’s cold and proud face.

During that time, she took meticulous care of him, clumsily brewing medicine, feeding him, and even using her mouth to feed him medicine…

If Xiao Qingge found out about this…

Li Ran shivered.

“She was Auntie Sun, a kind village woman,” he said seriously.

“Oh.”

Xiao Qingge nodded.

She felt something was off but couldn’t quite place it.

“Li Ran, you crippled Li Sheng’s cultivation. Will you be punished when you return to the Li family?” Xiao Qingge asked worriedly.

“I am the Holy Son of the Hidden Gauze Sect, and my father is the patriarch of the Li family. Who would dare punish me?” Li Ran sneered.

But despite his words, his eyes grew cold.

He knew in his heart that Li Daoshi would not let this matter rest.

…

Li family council hall.

The patriarch, Li Daoyuan, sat at the highest seat, followed by the Li Family Grand Elder Li Daoshi, with all the elders seated in order.

The atmosphere was icy and stern!

They had just learned what had happened, and the matter had shocked everyone.

The Grand Elder was the first to attack, slamming the table, “Li Daoyuan, how the hell do you raise your son!? How dare he cripple Sheng’er’s cultivation?”

The Fourth Elder responded, “Sheng’er was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage and a core disciple of the Divine Dao Sect, with a boundless future! Yet his cultivation was crippled, which is a great loss to our Li family!”

The Sixth Elder echoed, “Fighting among family members is a grave taboo! I think Li Ran has become too arrogant after becoming the Hidden Gauze Sect Holy Son!”

Both of them were from the Grand Elder’s faction and naturally stood up to support him.

Li Daoyuan frowned.

The Grand Elder had always been dissatisfied with him and opposed him at every turn.

Now that he had seized this opportunity, he would undoubtedly take a fierce bite!

‘It’s strange that Ran’er would act so impulsively…’ he was puzzled.

Li Sheng was not a good person, and killing him would have been no big deal, but crippling his cultivation in public was a grave offense.

“Li Daoyuan, you must give me and my son an explanation today!” the Grand Elder roared.

Li Daoyuan sighed, “Then what do you want?”

The Grand Elder sneered, “Such brutality should be dealt with according to family rules! Li Ran crippled my son’s cultivation, so according to the rules, his cultivation should also be crippled, reducing him to a mortal!”

Everyone was stunned.

Li Ran was a super genius with a Holy Quality talent, the pride of the Li family!

Cripple his cultivation? What a joke!

Li Daoyuan frowned, “That’s impossible. Even if I agreed, the one from Hidden Gauze Sect wouldn’t.”

The Grand Elder seemed to have anticipated this answer.

He sneered, “If that’s the case, then let’s have the Old Ancestor come out of seclusion and uphold justice!”

“Hiss!”

Everyone gasped.

The Old Ancestor out of seclusion?

It turned out the Grand Elder had this in mind!
