Leng Wuyan looked at the "Li Ran" before her, her lips slightly parted, and her phoenix-like eyes widened.
Her whole person was in a state of extreme astonishment!
If she didn't hear it wrong...
Right now, by her own disciple, she was being confessed to!
Li Ran's image continued to speak softly, "I found that I liked you very much yesterday, and I like you very much today, and I have a hunch that I will like you more tomorrow. In my eyes, billions of stars can't match your beauty."
...
"Shut up!"
Leng Wuyan's white robe fluttered, and the accumulated snow on the entire Rakhasa Peak rose into the air!
Cheesy,
Too cheesy!
Looking at Li Ran's image, her body trembled uncontrollably.
Leng Wuyan had been single for hundreds of years, and if being single had a ranking, she would undoubtedly be the undefeatable number one.
Although giving up the mundane world was her own decision, in fact, no one had ever confessed to her.
Her strength was too formidable, and her methods were too ruthless. People either trembled in fear when they saw her or flattered her incessantly as to not incur her ire.
And because all of that and many more, no one had dared to pursue her.
Thus, she had remained single all this time.
But now, this tranquility has been broken.
Someone actually dared to openly pursue her!
And this person was not some stranger or someone that is her peer, instead, it's her disciple, her most proud and beloved disciple!
Leng Wuyan stared blankly at the letter in her hand, her hands trembling uncontrollably.
"This rebellious scoundrel! You not only violate our sects taboo, but the one you pursue is me!?"
Leng Wuyan was shaking. She was pretty sure this was not a prank. The sect had a ban on marriage and love after all. Joking about this kind of thing was equal to openly seeking death.
This confession was genuinely from Li Ran!
Leng Wuyan withdrew her consciousness from the Photograph Stone, her eyes showing an incredibly complex expression.
She wanted to crush the stone, but when she remembered Li Ran's affectionate appearance and his sincere words, she suddenly couldn't summon the strength to do it.
"This is what it feels like to be confessed to..."
"Li Ran... he likes me?"
Leng Wuyan's heart suddenly started to beat faster, and an inexplicable feeling sprouted within her.
"Li Ran, despite your usual aloofness, you have such passionate feelings in your heart for me!"
"He possesses exceptional talent and carries Dao patterns. In the future, his achievements will surely surpass mine. From this perspective, we aren't incompatible."
"As for his appearance, he's undoubtedly incredibly handsome!"
"How about... I give him a chance?"
With these thoughts in her mind, Leng Wuyan's heartbeat quickened even more.
But then, she remembered something.
[The Forbidden Rule of the Hidden Gauze Sect: Prohibition of Love Affairs. Violators will be expelled from the sect.]
This was the rule she personally established.
Now, not only did she have to break her own rule, but the target of her affection was even her own disciple. If this got out, it would likely become the laughingstock of the world!
"No, absolutely not!" Leng Wuyan shook her head vigorously.
She tucked the stone into her bosom.
"Someone."
"Present, what are your orders, Sect Master?"
A shadow squeezed in through the door crack and transformed into human form, kneeling on one knee.
"Summon the Holy Son to meet me."
"Yes."
The black shadow disappeared without a trace.
Leng Wuyan looked at the flying snow outside the window, lost in thought.
...
Li Ran paced in his room, feeling somewhat uneasy.
According to reason, his junior sister should have come to him immediately after seeing the Photograph Stone.
But now, it was already dark outside, and there was no sign of her.
"Could it be that I threw the box in the wrong direction, and she hasn't found it yet?"
Li Ran was about to go out and check the situation when a knock came at the door.
He quickly sat back down on the chair.
"Come in."
The door opened, and a cloud of black mist swept in, turning into a human form and kneeling on the ground.
"Holy Son, the Sect Master requests your presence. Hurry to Rakhasa Peak."
Li Ran's heart skipped a beat, "Alright, I understand."
The black mist dispersed as if it had never appeared.
"The Sect Master wants to see me now? Should I have the Shadow Guards notify her... Could it be something important?"
Li Ran had a bad feeling in his heart.
He casually put on an outer coat and quickly walked out of the room.
...
The Mystic Spirit Mountain Range meandered for hundreds of miles.
And Rakhasa Peak was the highest mountain peak of this Mountain Range, towering into the clouds, with its summit covered in perpetual white snow.
It was where Leng Wuyan's residence was located.
Right now, Li Ran has arrived at his master mountain stop, his heart filled with nervousness.
He saw Leng Wuyan standing in a pavilion not far away, her hands behind her back.
"Master, you wanted to see me?" Li Ran walked forward respectfully.
Leng Wuyan turned around to look at him, her gaze complex. "Li Ran, I noticed that your cultivation hasn't progressed at all in the past half month. Have you not been practicing properly and allowing your thoughts to be elsewhere?"
Li Ran's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly replied, "Master, it's true that I've been restless lately, which has affected my cultivation.
"You have strong talent and the aura of an Emperor. Given time, you will definitely surpass me. You must focus on cultivation and not be preoccupied with... strange matters," Leng Wuyan advised.
Li Ran's expression became serious, "Rest assured, Master, besides you and cultivation, there's no room for anything else in my heart!"
He originally intended to flatter, but his words took on a completely different meaning when they reached Leng Wuyan's ears.
Her face turned red, and panic flickered in her eyes, "What nonsense are you talking about? Why would you place me in your heart?"
Strange, this is unlike Li Ran's usual character. His pursuit is too fierce!
Li Ran was also a bit puzzled hearing her, sensing that his Master was acting oddly today.
"Since it has come to this, let's just be straightforward! I want to ask you about this Photograph Stone. How do you explain it?" Leng Wuyan took out a piece of green stone.
Li Ran was almost scared out of his wits when he saw it.
Oh, crap!
Isn't this the confession video he made previously for his adorable junior sister!? How come it's in the hand of his master instead!
Damn it! He is going to be killed!
