Xianxia: The Sect Master Is My Girlfriend

Yue Jianli stood at the street corner, gazing at the gates of the Li Mansion .

Her eyes no longer held the despondence and disappointment from before; instead, they were filled with vibrant light.

She had finally faced her true feelings.

“So what if there’s an engagement? As long as Li Ran remains a disciple of Hidden Gauze Sect, he cannot marry Xiao Qingge!”

“I still have plenty of time!”

“And to break this rule, I just need to become stronger than Leng Wuyan!”

Yue Jianli’s lips curled into a smile, “Fortunately, becoming stronger is what I’m best at!”

She turned and left, her green robe fluttering freely and gracefully.

Yet Yue Jianli didn’t know that this rule had long been broken by Leng Wuyan herself…

…

Boom!

The door to the secret chamber was kicked open.

Li Ran, enveloped in a bloody aura, strode towards Li Wuchang.

“Why are you so angry early in the morning?” Li Wuchang calmly sipped his tea.

Smack

Li Ran threw the Immortal Binding Rope onto the table, “I want a refund!”

Li Wuchang laughed, “You used it already?”

“Of course!”

Li Ran was visibly annoyed, “I didn’t expect that even at your age, you’re still into bondage. You fooled me with this so-called Immortal Binding Rope; it’s way too embarrassing!”

“Who fooled you?”

Li Wuchang retorted, “Isn’t it true that it’s fast? Doesn’t it bind people? Which part did I say wrong?”

“…”

Li Ran had never seen someone so shameless.

Li Wuchang continued persuasively, “Besides, this is indeed a treasure. Though it seems lewd, it’s very effective. Especially against female cultivators, no matter how high their cultivation, it binds them perfectly and even comes with a charming fragrance—”

“Enough.”

Li Ran sneered, “Are you from the Hehuan Sect? This is too disgraceful.”

“If you don’t want it, then forget it…”

Before Li Wuchang could finish, Li Ran had already put the Immortal Binding Rope away.

He righteously declared, “Such a despicable item, I can’t trust it with you. I’ll keep it safe myself.”

Li Wuchang nodded, “Grandson, you’re more shameless than me.”

“Right back at you.”

Li Ran cleared his throat and said, “Anyway, my psyche has been traumatized. You have to compensate me.”

Li Wuchang’s mouth twitched, “Do you have any shame?”

“Then I won’t cultivate anymore, never advance to the tribulation crossing stage, and you’ll stay here forever.”

“… That’s ruthless! What do you want as compensation? But let me state first, no Immortal Treasures.”

Li Ran shook his head, “I don’t want Immortal Treasures. I just want you to protect someone for me.”

Li Wuchang was taken aback, “Who?”

“Xiao Qingge.”

Li Ran had been pondering this matter for a while.

The issues in Five Yang City were mostly resolved, and he would soon return to the sect.

He wasn’t worried about the Li family, as they had the protection of a family Emperor-level combatant.

But Xiao Qingge was different.

With the passing of the Xiao family patriarch, they had lost their greatest strength, and she no longer had sect protection.

Although Five Yang City was relatively peaceful, it was always better to be safe than sorry.

With Li Wuchang, an Emperor-level expert, protecting her, he could be at ease.

“Is she your fiancée? You’re quite the romantic.”

Li Wuchang stroked his beard, “Protecting her… It’s not impossible, but you have to agree to two conditions.”

“What conditions?” Li Ran asked.

Li Wuchang said, “First, I’ll protect her for only ten years. Within those ten years, you must advance to the tribulation crossing stage.”

“No problem.” Li Ran agreed without hesitation.

This was a high bar.

No cultivator under thirty had ever reached the tribulation crossing stage in the entire vast land.

But regardless of the outcome, gaining ten years was a win.

“Second, if you get the chance, you must beat the Central Heaven Sect’s Head Disciple to a pulp for me!” A hint of resentment flashed in Li Wuchang’s eyes.

“Central Heaven Sect?”

Li Ran was taken aback, “You have a grudge against them?”

The Central Heaven Sect was one of the top Righteous Sects and the only top sect composed entirely of female cultivators.

Li Wuchang snorted coldly, “The Sect Master of Central Heaven Sect, Yi Qinglan, and I have a grudge… But you definitely can’t beat her, so just go after her disciples instead.”

“Alright, deal.” Li Ran nodded.

This demand wasn’t too difficult.

The Central Heaven Sect was aloof and detached from worldly affairs, and its disciples rarely set foot in the mortal realm.

The chances of encountering the Sect Master’s direct disciples were even slimmer.

And even if he did run into them, so what?

He was the dignified Holy Son of a Demonic Sect; did he need a reason to beat someone up?

…

After leaving the secret chamber, Li Ran went to the Xiao Mansion.

He handed the “Jade Maiden Rakshasa Sutra” to Xiao Qingge and instructed her to seek out the Li family’s secret chamber and the Old Ancestor if she encountered danger.

However, knowing that Li Ran was returning to his sect, she couldn’t pay attention to anything else.

She clung to Li Ran’s arm like a koala bear, her black and white eyes shimmering, tears welling up.

“Li Ran, I can’t bear to be without you~”

Li Ran pinched her fair cheek and comforted, “If our love lasts forever, why need we dwell on everyday togetherness? The immortal path is long, and our lives are endless. This separation is just a brief interlude.”

“If our love lasts forever, why need we dwell on everyday togetherness…”

Xiao Qingge savored the words, her eyes filled with admiration, “Hubby, you’re so cultured!”

“Just average, third best in the vast land,” Li Ran boasted shamelessly.

Xiao Qingge looked at the “Jade Maiden Rakshasa Sutra” in her hands and suddenly said, “Li Ran, I have an idea on how we can get married!”

“What idea?” Li Ran asked curiously.

Xiao Qingge put her hands on her hips and declared, “If I work hard and become stronger than your master, I can force her to change the sect rules, and then we can get married!”

“…”

…

Li Ran gave her a thumbs up, “What a great ambition.”

Surpass Leng Wuyan?

He knew how terrifying his master was.

Even with his exceptional talent, he had no idea when he could reach her level.

Even among Emperors, there was a significant gap.

Otherwise, why would Li Wuchang be so scared he nearly lost control of his bladder and bowels at the mention of Leng Wuyan’s name?

“Becoming an Emperor is no big deal. If she can do it, so can I!”

Xiao Qingge was brimming with confidence.

In her heart, she had already set “surpassing Leng Wuyan” as her life goal.

Li Ran couldn’t bear to dampen her spirits…

…

After finally parting from the clingy Xiao Qingge, Li Ran returned home and packed briefly.

He informed Li Daoyuan and then went to check on Shen Ning.

“Do you remember what I told you?” Li Ran asked.

Shen Ning nodded vigorously, “I remember. Test for aptitude next year, and if I have talent, I’ll come find you.”

“Good. I’ll be waiting for you at Mystic Spirit Mountain.”

Cultivation was a harsh affair.

If Shen Ning had talent, Li Ran would help her change her fate, but if she were just an ordinary person, it would be better for her to live a safe and peaceful life.

As Li Ran was about to leave, a small hand quietly held onto his pinky.

He turned around to see Shen Ning looking at him timidly, “Y-Young master, I have a small request…”

“What is it? Just say it,” Li Ran asked.

Shen Ning took his large hand and placed it on her head, then closed her eyes and gently rubbed against it.

“Just for a little while.”
