Please, I Really Didn’t Want To Fall in Love With My Master! - Chapter 164
Chapter 164: Li Ran must be a demon!
Sheng Anyi’s mind went blank.
Who was Li Ran?
The Sheng Zi of Youluo Temple, the number one genius of the Heavenly Devil Rankings. After taking the lead in breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm, he had become publicly acknowledged as the number one genius in the Vast Land!
Although he wasn’t a scoundrel who would randomly kill people, his deeds were shocking enough.
He was a demon amongst demons, the vicious amongst the most vicious!
Sheng Anyi swallowed her saliva and muttered, “Zhixia, although the Sheng Clan is neutral, wouldn’t that be inappropriate for you to fall in love with such a devil?”
The Flood Dragon Princess was the apple of everyone’s eye. She was deeply loved by the commoners and could be said to be an idol.
But she, out of anyone, had fallen in love with the Devil Sheng Zi.
Sheng Anyi felt that the situation was somewhat strange.
Sheng Zhixia shook her head and replied, “First of all, Li Ran and I are not in that kind of relationship. It’s just something that had already happened… you could call it a kind of misunderstanding.
“Secondly, Li Ran isn’t the kind of person you think he is—”
Sheng Anyi was puzzled. “What kind of person?”
Sheng Zhixia said seriously, “Sister, do you know that the beast tide has attacked South Wind City?”
Sheng Anyi nodded. “I’ve heard that the situation was extremely critical. Fortunately, the righteous sects’ disciples took action, otherwise, I’m afraid that the cultivators would suffer.”
Sheng Zhixia replied, “The one who led everyone against the beast tide was Li Ran.”
“It’s him?”
Sheng Anyi was stunned.
She had always thought that it would be Lin Langyue or Yue Jianli who defended against the beast tide. After all, they were the young leaders of the Righteous sects.
Sheng Zhixia said, “It’s Li Ran. He alone blocked the beast tide, saved dozens of cultivators, and personally killed the Thunder Lion.”
“Lin Langyue told me personally that if Li Ran hadn’t been here, they wouldn’t have been able to stop the beast tide, and that hundreds of thousands of people in South Wind City would have become the beasts’ meals!”
Sheng Anyi’s eyes went wide with astonishment.
Her sister would not joke about such matters.
Could it be that the devil Li Ran was a benefactor of the world?
Sheng Zhixia’s eyes glowed as she softly continued, “Although he might act arrogant, reckless, and a thoroughly bad guy sometimes… I have my own bottom line. He is righteous and also magnanimous. He is much stronger than those hypocrites.”
Sheng Anyi looked at her sister and couldn’t help but sigh in her heart.
From the looks of it, she was truly enthralled!
Dong dong dong.
At this moment, the door was softly knocked.
“Come in!” Sheng Zhixia snapped back to her senses.
A palace maid walked in and bowed. “This servant greets Flood Dragon Princess and Princess Jinyun.”
“What is it?”
The palace maid replied, “His Majesty wants you to go to Qian Yuan Palace to meet him.”
Sheng Zhixia was stunned. “Imperial Father has come out of seclusion? He must’ve wanted details regarding the beast tide, and I have something to report to him.”
She stood up and the palace maid came to tidy up her clothes and hair.
“Big sister, I’ll go see Father first.”
She left quickly after saying that.
Sheng Anyi looked at her back with a complicated and helpless expression.
“Little Zhixia has someone she likes, and I’m happy with her. However, the target of her love is the Devil Sect’s Sheng Zi…”
“Li Ran? If there’s a chance, I really want to see him. Just what kind of person would be able to gain Little Zhixia’s heart?”
Qian Yuan Palace…
The entire hall was empty. Other than the tall figure on the dragon throne, there was no one else.
Emperor Sheng Ye sat on the high throne and looked out the window with a deep gaze.
“Li Wuqiang attacked… It really is a rare occurrence. This old fellow actually stopped pretending to be dead?”
“Judging from his aura, he should be an elder of the Supreme Dao Palace. Tsk tsk, he’s getting bolder.”
Even though his thoughts were racing, his face remained expressionless, like a cold rock.
At this moment, footsteps sounded.
“Your daughter pays her respects to Imperial Father. May Imperial Father have peace.”
Sheng Ye looked at Sheng Zhixia below the stage, a trace of pampering flashing through his eyes. “Get up.”
“Yes, Imperial Father.”
Sheng Zhixia stood up.
Sheng Ye said with indifference, “What’s the result of your trip to the southern border?”
“Reporting to Imperial Father. The Beast Tide was defended by the sect’s disciples, and no beasts managed to break past the defensive line. Nobody in South Wind Cit was killed.”
Sheng Ye nodded. “I already know about this.”
Sheng Zhixia continued, “The beast tide was caused by Yu Ye, an expert of the Yin Corpse Dao. He attempted to refine a Heavenly Tribulation corpse puppet, causing a riot among the Grand Myriad Mountain demon beasts.”
She then handed him a document.
It recorded all the details of her investigation.
Sheng Ye slowly flipped through it.
Sheng Zhixia said from the side, “This document has a list of people participating in the battle against the beast tide. They are all heroes of our human race and should be announced to the world and rewarded accordingly.”
Sheng Ye did not say anything and silently finished reading the document.
After a long time, he opened his mouth, “You’re right. They are indeed human heroes and should be praised by the world.”
“The Imperial Father is wise!” Sheng Zhixia was delighted.
“But..”
“There’s a problem with your name list. Why are the names of Youluo Temple, Joyous Unity Sect, and other Devil Sects present on the list?”
“Because they’ve all joined in the battle against the beast tide!” Sheng Zhixia was puzzled. “This is especially the case for the Devil Sect’s Sheng Zi, Li Ran. He’s even more outstanding. This is something that everyone has witnessed.”
Sheng Ye shook his head. “The Devil Path is the Devil Path. How could he become a hero? You probably remembered the situation wrongly.”
Sheng Zhixia shook her head, “Your daughter is certain that she isn’t…”
“You remembered wrongly.”
Sheng Ye interrupted.
Sheng Zhixia stopped, “Imperial Father?”
Sheng Ye frowned. “It seems you’ve forgotten what I said last time.”
“The Devil Path is the Devil Path, and the Righteous Path is the Righteous Path. The Righteous and Devil fight must proceed. Only then will the Sheng Clan be able to stay in this iron bucket.”
“Now that you’ve made Li Ran your greatest hero, what would the world think? Would the Youluo Temple still be seen as a devil sect?’
“If the boundaries between the Righteous and Devils are to become blurred, I’m afraid that the order of the Vast Land will be changed!”
His voice reverberated throughout the hall, and it carried an unquestionable majesty.
Sheng Zhixia was silent for a long time before she said in a low voice, “Then what do you think we should do, Imperial Father?”
Sheng Ye said, “Of course, we still have to announce it to the world, but we have to omit the name of the Devil Path and change the leading contributor to Lin Langyue.”
“Imperial Father!” Sheng Zhixia called out.
She hadn’t expected Sheng Ye to be so ruthless. He planned on removing all the merits of the Devil Sects!
“Could it be that Imperial Father isn’t afraid of Leng Wuyan causing trouble?” she asked anxiously.
Sheng Ye sneered, “The one who stole Li Ran’s credit is the Tianshu Institute. If she wants to find trouble with Yi Qinglan, what does it have to do with me?”
Sheng Zhixia was stunned. She looked at Sheng Ye in disbelief, her eyes somewhat unfamiliar.
“Your daughter absolutely disagrees…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Sheng Ye’s figure had already disappeared from the main hall.
He didn’t even give her a chance to speak.
Sheng Ye said, “Send an invitation to Tianshu Institute and invite Sect Leader Yi to attend the ceremony. I believe she will be very satisfied with the result.”
“Understood, Your Majesty!”
A voice came from the corner, and the hall fell silent.
“Yi Qinglan…”
Sheng Ye’s smile was cold. “She should hate Li Ran by now, right? Thank you very much for this opportunity!”
Li family mansion, in the bedroom…
Looking at the three young ladies in front of him, Li Ran couldn’t help but have a headache.
He said cautiously, “How about… I sleep by myself today?”
“No way!” The three of them spoke in unison.
Li Ran didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at Qin Ruyan. “Why are you joining in?!”
Qin Ruyan smiled and said, “This servant is best at warming the bed. Does Sheng Zi Li want to experience this servant’s skills?”
Feeling the two murderous gazes beside him, he wanted to cry, but no tears would come out.
“Thank you so much!”
