A faint glow emanated from Leng Wuyan's hand. Countless words leaped out of the jade slip and automatically arranged themselves in the air.
[Fairy Cai Xia and Chimu True Immortal become Dao companions, adding another expert with Tribulation Crossing cultivation strength to the Zhengyi Sect!]
"Even that ugly woman was able to find a Dao companion? Has the Chimu True Immortal lost his mind or blinded his eyes?" Leng Wuyan commented while reading the news.
[Lin Yuan, the Sect Master of the Lietian Sect, sacrificed his cultivation foundation to resist the Thunder Tribulation for his Dao companion Mo Xiaoxian, leading to damage to his cultivation. The Lietian Sect may fall from the ranks of top sects.]
"For a woman, he dared to resist the Thunder Tribulation with nothing but his physical body? Is Lin Yuan a fool? If the Lietian Sect falls from the top, he'll become a notorious criminal for eternity!"
"Indeed, romantic affairs only lead people to make wrong judgments!"
She muttered discontentedly, but her expression was sour, as if she had eaten ten catties of lemons.
Continuing to read:
[The Sect Master of the Five Elements Sect and the Fairy of the Ice Cloud Sect become Dao companions, and the Sect behind them has now joined forces...]
[One of the top three experts of the court, Shentu Ye, attends their wedding at Lingyang Mountain...]
[The ancestor of Hehuan Sect invented a high-efficiency Dual Cultivation method without stopping for 24 hours…]
"..."
After reading all of the available information that has been gathered, Leng Wuyan crushed the jade slip without any expression on her face.
"What's wrong with the recent information gathering? Why does it make me felt so sour after reading it all?"
She stood with her hands behind her back, her face expressionless.
"Indeed, The heavens are unkind, and the path of immortals is ruthless!"
"What dual cultivation, what Dao companions... Those fools have clearly gone astray! How can they compare to me, whose six senses are pure and focused? I have already achieved the Emperor's Stage, admired by countless people!" Leng Wuyan sneered repeatedly.
She hadn't even reached adulthood yet, but she had already severed the seven emotions and six desires, devoting all her energy to cultivation and ultimately achieving unparalleled power.
"Look at the talented people of my generation. They are all troubled by romantic affairs and unable to reach the pinnacle of the Dao."
"I have become the Sect Master of the Hidden Gauze Sect, while they are still wandering in the mortal world."
"Simply foolish!"
As such, Leng Wuyan also prohibited the disciples of her sect from dating.
Although there were many rumors behind her back, her conviction remained unwavering.
For hundreds of years, she believed her Dao heart was as solid as a rock.
However, for some reason, as she looked at the vast white snowy mountains before her, she felt a faint sense of melancholy.
Accompanying her were only the wind and snow, without any warmth.
If nothing unexpected happened, she would continue to be this lonely for the next hundred or thousand years, right?
Leng Wuyan wrapped her robes around herself.
Although her Dao body was impervious to cold and heat, she felt a bit chilly at the moment.
"Rustle~"
The sound of footsteps came from behind her, and when she looked back, she noticed that it's one of the female disciples.
"Sect Master, the pills refined by the disciples are all completed. Should I take them to your study room?" a female disciple respectfully asked.
Leng Wuyan composed herself and turned around, saying, "No need, just give them to me."
She needed to divert her attention and change her mood.
"Yes."
The female disciple handed over her storage ring and took her leave.
Leng Wuyan found a secluded courtyard and sat on a wooden chair.
Cultivation was a very complicated matter.
Any slight mistake or oversight could lead to demonic cultivation and death.
She had experienced that terrifying moment herself.
Therefore, on her first day as the Sect Master of the Hidden Gauze Sect, Leng Wuyan had made a commitment to herself to be responsible for her disciples, preventing them from going astray in their cultivation.
While practicing alchemy, one could best see a person's character and cultivation.
"Very good, the progress of these disciples is promising." Leng Wuyan nodded in satisfaction. "It seems keeping them barred from love and relationships was the correct decision."
Thinking of this, her mood improved a lot. But as she took out the last pillbox, she noticed that the weight seemed to be wrong. It also lacked any kind of signature.
After opening it, she saw a cyan-colored stone within it.
"Huh?A Photograph Stone?" Leng Wuyan frowned. "Who fooled around with this thing?"
At first, she wanted to throw it away, but after hesitating, she eventually projected her mind into it out of curiosity.
"I want to see who is so bold!"
After the Photograph Stone projected light in front of her, the scene changed. The background was still the Rakhasa Peak, but a tall and straight man appeared in front of her. He was dressed in white, sporting a handsome face, saying with a smile on his face: "You are here."
Leng Wuyan was taken aback. That man turned out to be Li Ran.
Why did he record a video? Was there something he couldn't talk about in person? Is it something difficult to say?
She saw Li Ran looking at her and saying: "Thank you for being by my side all the time. You are like a ray of warm sunshine shining into my dark life…"
Leng Wuyan shook her head and smiled. "He turned out to be thankful for me being his teacher. This kid, when did you learn to have manners?"
At this time, Li Ran's video was still continuing. He "looked at" Leng Wuyan with eyes full of affection and tender love. With a deep and magnetic voice, he said: "I like the rain in summer, the rainbow after the rain, and you."
Leng Wuyan was taken aback once again, "Huh?"
This line seems a bit wrong, right?
"In my eyes, billions of stars can't match your beauty."
"Eeeh??"
"I like you. So, please be in a relationship with me!"
"What!?"
