Qiu Ran kept on screaming in madness until his maids and guards rushed over to his room.
The warrior guards broke into Qiu Ran's room only to find him alone screaming.
"Master ! Is anything wrong ?", the warrior guard asked respectfully.
"Huh ! Oh ! Nothing is wrong. I am just too tired today to accept any guests or to refine any pills. Push back all my appointments.", Qiu Ran said with a sweet smile on his face. Qiu Ran knew he could not tell his guards and maids that his cultivation had dropped by 2 levels. If his enemies were to find out, now would be a perfect time to attack Qiu Ran. Because of that Qiu Ran had to hide his drop in cultivation. If Du QiTian his former master knew he had dropped 2 levels in cultivation, Du QiTian would rush over right now to kill him. Qiu Ran cursed in his heart, why did this have to happen to him now when his life was perfect ?
The moment Qiu Ran chased all the maids and guards away , he rushed to his underground basement, after Qiu Ran lost his cultivation manual, he no longer keeps all his treasures on his body. In fact nowadays Qiu Ran hides his treasures away. Now he was rushing down to his basement to get a level 9 magic pill and a treasure to increase his cultivation level up by one level. Even if increasing his cultivation level up by one level will cause his progress to go beyond a level 10 mage to stagnate Qiu Ran did not care. To Qiu Ran his life right now is more important than any future cultivation level.
As he rushed down to his basement holding his level nine magic pill, he closed the door and locked it behind him. Qiu Ran did not want anyone to steal anymore of his treasures. Once he was in his underground basement he pushed a brick to take out a small box. Qiu Ran opened the box and some earth element flowed out of that box, inside that box was leftover Earth element which could help a person increase his cultivation level fast. It was not a complete Earth element but half an Earth element, even then it was a treasure. If you were to cultivate using this half Earth element your cultivation would sky rocket. Qiu Ran swallowed the level 9 magic pill and began to cultivate. A few days later, Qiu Ran had broken through to level 9 mage. Qiu Ran sighed in relief. Qiu Ran knew he was still in danger, he had to quickly break through to level 10 mage again. But then Qiu Ran's level 9 mage foundation was shaky because of the quick breakthrough. Qiu Ran knew he had to get some spiritual herbs to make a level 9 magic pill to stabilise his level 9 foundation. If not Qiu Ran knew his current level 9 mage cultivation might fall back to a level 8 mage cultivation.
The moment Qiu Ran broke through to level 9 mage he went to the Wei Clan pavilion to buy magic herbs.
As Qiu Ran rushed out with his guards to the second floor of the Wei Clan pavilion to buy magic herbs, he saw something so beautiful it shocked him. It caused Qiu Ran to bleed from the nose, question his eye sight and caused him to have the biggest erection in his life. Sitting in a room next to Wei Cheung was a young boy of about 14 to 15 years old with beautiful white translucent hairless skin, big blue shining sapphire eyes, rose red pouting lips, soft silky ebony black shining hair and the most beautiful face he had ever seen. It seems like an Angel has descended to earth for Qiu Ran. When Qiu Ran saw Lai Ming, the only thing he could think of was I want this boy !
Qiu Ran walked to Fei Fei, the boss of the Wei Clan pavilion. Qiu Ran had even forgotten his purpose of coming to the Wei Clan pavilion.
"Who is that boy ?", Qiu Ran asked Fei Fei.
"Ah ! That is the guest of our young master of the Wei Clan.", Fei Fei said proudly.
"Guest. Who is he ?", Qiu Ran asked again. As Qiu Ran said that his saliva flowed out of his mouth in a disgusting way.
"I cannot say anything, all I know is that he is a level 8 mage.", Fei Fei said.
Qiu Ran arrogantly walked towards the room where Lai Ming was sitting and chatting with Wei Cheung, Ling Xiao and Yu Xiao Mo. Qiu Ran opened the room door and walked into it.
"Hello great beauty, my name is Qiu Ran, a famous level 10 mage. Who are you great beauty ?", Qiu Ran introduced himself and asked for Lai Ming's name.
Lai Ming's long beautiful eye lashes flickered making him look more beautiful. Damn ! This old pervert is here now ! Why is Qiu Ran looking at me like an old pervert ? Shouldn't he be out there cultivating like crazy to restore his lost cultivation levels ? And why is he calling me great beauty ? I am a man, a true macho man ! Does he think I am a girl ? Lai Ming thought to himself as he smiled sweetly.
"Um. Senior I am not famous at all. But my friends here has told me not to give my name to strangers.", Lai Ming said sweetly as his cheeks flushed red making him look more beautiful.
"Hello, senior, my name is Wei Cheung, an Imperial warrior. I am also the young master of the Wei Clan. I would like to apologise if our Wei Clan offended you in any way.", Wei Cheung said eloquently as he steeped up to block Qiu Ran.
"Humph ! At least you know who I am. Let me know the great beauty's name and we can consider any grudge between us and the Wei Clan settled.", Qiu Ran said arrogantly.
"Senior. I cannot say the great beauty's name on behalf of him as he is also my guest. Please ask him again, he might tell you his name.", Wei Cheung said politely.
Ling Xiao and Yu Xiao Mo just ignored Qiu Ran. But Ling Xiao noted in his mind the moment Lai Ming said it was okay to kill Qiu Ran, he would kill him without hesitation.
"Great beauty please tell me your name ?", Qiu Ran asked politely as he bowed down.
"Sigh. My name is Lai Ming. I am a friend of Wei Cheung so I hope you don't hold a grudge against the Wei Clan.", Lai Ming said sweetly.
"What grudge ? I have no grudge against the Wei Clan great beauty. Can we be friends Lai Ming ?", Qiu Ran asked lustfully. Qiu Ran eyes ran up and down Lai Ming's body as if his eyes were undressing Lai Ming on the spot. Lai Ming shivered the moment he felt Qiu Ran's eyes on his body.
