Please, I Really Didn’t Want To Fall in Love With My Master! - Chapter 73

Chapter 73: I think of you as my sister, but you wanted to seduce me?

Su Manor’s living room.

From the Xiao Family’s head to the outer sect’s elders, all the higher-ups were gathered here. The crowd was even bigger than the day Li Yunhao came to visit.

All eyes were gathered on a man.

Li Ran.

He had once been the Xiao family’s greatest nightmare, but he had now become their savior… this complicated everyone’s mood towards him.

Li Ran said calmly to Xiao Qingge, “Go on, please give me your explanation.”

Xiao Qingge whispered in shame, “I’m sorry. The reason I’ve been hiding my identity from you is that I don’t think I’m worthy of you… I’m just a mortal right now and you’re so outstanding. I don’t have the confidence to reveal my identity…”

Seeing her look of disappointment, Li Ran calmly said, “Ninety-nine percent of the people in the world are not as outstanding as me. This is very normal. You don’t need to feel too inferior.”

Someone with higher cultivation than him and more handsome than him?… I’m sorry, but such an outstanding person do not exist

Xiao Qingge wrinkled her nose. “Narcissistic…”

However, she was much more cheerful.

Li Ran thought about it. “That’s why you trusted me so much. Not only did you tell me everything about the secret realm, but you were also even willing to give me the Spirit Fruit?”

Xiao Qingge smiled. “If I don’t trust you, who else can I trust? Especially after knowing your heart, my entire heart belongs to you.”

“Ah?” Li Ran was taken aback. “What do I want?”

Xiao Qingge replied shyly, “I know that you’ve been fond of me all these years. I also know that I’m your precious girl… Actually, I-I also like you the most!”

After she said that, her little face turned red. Her bright eyes seemed to be dripping with water.

Thinking back to Li Ran’s “fiancée” in the arena, she felt like she had fallen into a honeypot.

However, Li Ran was completely dumbfounded.

“I’ve always liked you all these years? Why haven’t I heard about this?” Li Ran felt that something was wrong. “I think of you as my sister, but you wanted to seduce me?”

Xiao Qingge was confused.

Ahem!

At this moment, Xiao Nian couldn’t hold back any longer. He said, “Does anyone want to explain to me what’s going on?”

“Yah!”

It was only then that Xiao Qingge remembered that her clansmen were still beside her and she immediately lowered her head in embarrassment.

“Young Master Li, why don’t you explain it to me?” Xiao Nian asked.

Li Ran said, “The problem is that I didn’t fully understand what was going on!”

Xiao Nian was speechless.

After a while, Xiao Nian finally figured out what had happened.

“In other words, Qingge went to the Grand Myriad Mountain Range alone and happened to be saved by you. Then, both of you entered the Secret Realm together?”

Xiao Nian rubbed his chin. “What a coincidence? This is truly fate!”

“It really is fate.” Li Ran nodded.

Xiao Nian hesitated for a moment and asked the question that everyone was concerned about. “Young Master Li, do you want to annul this engagement or not?”

This was not only related to the Xiao and Li families, it was even related to Youluo Temple!

At this moment, Li Ran’s attitude was especially important.

“The engagement?” Li Ran hesitated.

Actually, his purpose in descending the Youlou Temple was to come to the Xiao Family to annul the engagement.

However, Xiao Qingge’s sudden appearance disrupted everything.

She was brave, persistent, and sincere. Although she had fallen into the mortal world, she did not feel self-pity. She was determined to fight all possibilities.

Most importantly, her looks were really good. She was beautiful and bright. Although she didn’t have his master’s cold aura, she was still a little more youthful.

If Li Ran wanted to say he didn’t like her, he was lying to himself.

The only thing he was worried about now was that his master would be jealous if she found out.

Thinking of Leng Wuyan’s jealousness, Li Ran couldn’t help but shiver.

She would murder him!

At that moment, Xiao Qingge said, “Li Ran, you don’t need to make things difficult for me. Even if you annul the engagement, my heart will not change.”

“The engagement is just the beginning of our fate. It doesn’t fully represent our relationship.”

“I can’t tie you to my Xiao family’s chariot just because of a marriage contract. It’s not fair to you.”

She spoke softly, but her words contained deep affection.

The other members of the Xiao family were all anxious.

This engagement was very important to the Xiao family. How could Xiao Qingge be so stupid at a time like this?

Xiao Nian did not say anything.

He handed the options to the two of them.

Li Ran looked at her seriously and shook his head. “I’ll make my own decision about my marriage. This marriage, I’m not going to back out!”

He decided to face his heart bravely.

As for Master…

At worst, he would be whipped crazily by her, but he absolutely could not blink an eye now.

Xiao Qingge’s heart was about to melt. “Li Ran…”

If it weren’t for a large number of people besides her, she would have probably already pounced into Li Ran’s arms.

Xiao Nian heaved a sigh of relief.

Not only did his daughter find a good match, but the Xiao Family also had a chance to breathe.

“But it’s impossible for Li Ran to stay in Wu Yang City. If the Xiao family wants to survive, they have to rely on themselves!” He knew very well.

“By the way.” Li Ran thought of something and took out a red fruit.

The entire hall was filled with a refreshing fragrance.

“This is for you.” Li Ran handed the red fruit to Xiao Qingge.

Xiao Nian was stunned for a moment and asked curiously, “What’s this? It has an immortal aura, and from its appearance, it looks like a rare spiritual medicine!”

Xiao Qingge’s eyes were firm as she said, “This is the Spirit Fruit from the Immortal herb garden in the secret realm, my only chance to re-embark on the immortal path!”

The Xiao family members gasped in unison.

“Immortal herb?”

“Spirit Fruit?”

“Re embark on the immortal path?”

This was simply too important to the Xiao family.

Xiao Nian was silent for a long time before he stood up and bowed deeply to Li Ran. “Young Master Li, regardless of whether Qingge succeeded or not, you are my Xiao Family’s great benefactor!”

The other Xiao Family elders got up and bowed excitedly. “Thank you, Young Master Li!”

That was immortal material!

Not to mention the mortal world, it was extremely rare even among the top sects.

And Li Ran was actually willing to give it to Xiao Qingge.

This kind of affection really made people turn their attention.

Li Ran shook his head and said, “You don’t have to stand on ceremony. This belongs to her. I’m just returning it to the owner.”

The members of the Xiao family did not take his words to heart.

How could mortals obtain immortal materials?

Li Ran looked at Xiao Qingge and said, “Let’s go. Find a quiet room and I’ll protect you.”

Xiao Qingge nodded.

Xiao Nian led the two to the underground training room.

Two hours later…

The Qi in the sky above the Xiao Manor condensed, and the sounds of immortals’ chants were unceasing. The vague shadow behind that reverberation seemed to resemble the luan and the phoenix that was facing each other.

Xiao Qingge has turned her fate around and re-embarked back on the Immortal Path!
