As he watched the rapidly approaching ground, Li Ran closed his eyes in despair.
However, just before his body came into contact with the cold earth, a fragrant breeze swept over him, and his feet found solid ground again.
Opening his eyes, he found himself still standing on the mountaintop, as if he had never moved at all.
Leng Wuyan's eyes were filled with complexity as she gazed at him. "Why didn't you use your cultivation technique just now? Did you really want to die?"
Use my cultivation technique?
Of course I wanted to! But I Can't!
Li Ran's lips turned pale, and he used the last bit of his strength to grab her white wrist.
"If I can't be with the one I love, what's the point of living?" he said weakly.
Leng Wuyan was speechless hearing his world. Her mental defenses were completely shattered.
Li Ran was willing to die for the sake of being with her!
Although there was currently a great disparity between them, Li Ran's extraordinary talent would surely lead him to reach the peak in the future.
More importantly, he had the courage to face any challenges for the sake of this love, even if it meant enduring slander and losing his life.
How could she reject such fervent emotions?
"Sect Leader?" Li Ran looked at her with hope in his eyes.
Leng Wuyan blushed and couldn't meet his gaze directly. Her phoenix-like eyes were watery, and she replied softly, "Don't look at me like that. I... I agree."
"Really!? Thank you very much master!!" Li Ran exclaimed excitedly, hugging her.
He hadn't expected that not only would he avoid punishment, but the Sect Leader would also approve of him dating his junior disciple. It felt like he had received an official order to flirt with girls!
It felt so satisfying!
"You... You mischievous disciple! I just agreed, and you're already getting handsy..." Leng Wuyan blushed and broke free from his hug, floating away a distance.
"Uh, sorry. I was just too excited," Li Ran scratched his head in embarrassment, but the smile on his face didn't dim in the slightest.
"Although I agreed to this, the rule I established still stands. We absolutely cannot let anyone else find out about this!" Leng Wuyan instructed.
"Don't worry, Sect Leader. I can keep a secret," Li Ran nodded.
He couldn't wait to pursue his junior disciple!
At that moment, the voice of the system resounded in his mind.

"...?"
Li Ran: "???"
'Target of confession... Leng, Leng Wuyan?!'
He had clearly confessed to his junior disciple, why did he end up conquering the Sect Leader?
Li Ran recalled something and asked tentatively, "Sect Leader, who gave you the Photograph Stone?"
Leng Wuyan blushed and said shyly, "Stop pretending. It was you who placed the stone inside the pill box and gave it to me like that... Don't do this in the future; if someone finds out, our relationship might be exposed."
Li Ran: "..."
Now he understood everything.
From the look of it, my Junior Sister didn't actually betray me; she just mistakenly gave the box to the Sect Leader. Since I never mentioned any names, the Sect Leader thought I was confessing to her. We were never on the same wavelength throughout!
I only wanted to win over my Junior Sister, but unexpectedly, due to a twist of fate, I ended up unintentionally courting the Sect Leader!
Li Ran was speechless.
