Chapter 262: Happiness Came Knocking!
Li Ran couldn’t help scratching his head as he looked at the aggrieved Qin Ruyan.
How should he reply?
Back then, Master Qinglan was the one who had taken him away. He couldn’t tell the truth, could he?
Not to mention whether Qin Ruyan would misunderstand, what would Lin Langyue think if she heard that she was still hiding in the closet?
Li Ran pondered for a moment and said, “At that time, I suddenly received a message from the Sect Master, hurriedly calling me back to the sect. That’s why I left in such a hurry.”
“Sect Master?”
Qin Ruyan was startled.
Youluo Temple had a ban, and she had not considered this at that time. Leng Wuyan would not punish him for this, right?
She said nervously, “Are you alright? Did Sect Master Leng punish you?”
Li Ran shook his head. “It’s fine. Master didn’t notice.”
“That’s good.” Qin Ruyan relaxed.
She sighed. “No matter how anxious you are, you should’ve told this servant.”
She had already made that appearance. Leaving without warning was indeed a little hurtful.
Li Ran said apologetically, “Sorry, I was too nervous.”
Tch!
Qin Ruyan rolled her eyes at him. “Sheng Zi Li has a romantic nature. What kind of scene have you not seen before? You’re actually nervous?”
“Ah, this…” Li Ran blushed when he heard this.
Seeing his embarrassed expression, Qin Ruyan’s grievance dissipated a lot. She couldn’t help but laugh. “Alright, I’m just joking with you.”
Li Ran heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s still Lady Qin who has a lot of wealth.”
At such a crucial time, leaving the girl alone was indeed not a very proper matter, although this was not his intention.
“Humph,?this servant’s stomach isn’t that big. I’m afraid I’m already angered to death by you.” Qin Ruyan pouted.
She wasn’t really angry.
On the contrary, when she heard Li Ran’s explanation, she heaved a sigh of relief.
“As long as you don’t hate me.”
Qin Ruyan hesitated for a moment before saying softly, “Sheng Zi Li, I don’t know what this servant’s impression of you is, but that day in the restaurant, I used all my courage.”
Li Ran nodded. “I know you’re not that kind of girl.”
She was the Holy Maiden of the Joyous Unity Sect, yet he was able to guard her body firmly.
This Holy Maiden was far more conservative than she looked.
Qin Ruyan raised her head to look at him with an inexplicable expression in her eyes.
“Sheng Zi Li, do you still remember this servant’s promise to you?”
Li Ran was taken aback. “What promise?”
Her pretty face flushed red as she said, “This servant promised you that I would definitely give you the Spirit Pearl. However, the Spirit Pearl needed to wait for the Nascent Soul realm to undergo a transformation. Right now, this servant was only a step away from the Nascent Soul realm and could break through at any time…”
“So that’s the reason.” Li Ran pinched her chin, “But what kind of method do you need to do to give me the spiritual pearl?”
He had some guesses, but he wasn’t sure.
Qin Ruyan bit her lips and shyly said, “You will know when this servant gives it to you.”
Li Ran nodded. “Alright.”
At this moment, the door was knocked again.
Dong! Dong!
Yue Jianli lowered her voice. “Sheng Zi Li, are you asleep?”
Li Ran was dumbfounded.
Again?
Don’t they need to sleep?
Qin Ruyan panicked. “It’s over. Chief Yue is here!”
Li Ran frowned. “We didn’t do anything. What are you afraid of?”
“You don’t know.” Qin Ruyan said in a low voice, “Chief Yue came looking for me just now. I lied that I was going to sleep and ended up sneaking over to you!”
Li Ran smiled. “So what? Don’t you guys already know each other?”
“That won’t do.” Qin Ruyan shook her head. “Chief Yue had long suspected that I was scheming against you, but I never admitted it. If I were caught, I wouldn’t have the face to see her!”
Li Ran was once again dumbfounded. “Ah?”
Qin Ruyan looked around in panic. Her eyes lit up when she saw the wardrobe.
“Sheng Zi Li, I’m going to hide for a while. Don’t tell her I’ve been here!”
Li Ran was taken aback and hurriedly said, “No, there are… There.”
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Ruyan had already opened the cabinet door and entered.
Air was quiet for a moment.
Then, a scream came from the closet. “Lin Langyue, you…! Why are you here?”
Li Ran covered his face. “I told you, there’s someone inside!”
“Who is it?” Yue Jianli had already pushed open the door and walked in. She looked at him with confusion. “Who were you talking to?”
Li Ran gulped and smiled bitterly. “It’s nothing. I’m just talking to myself.”
“Oh.” Yue Jianli nodded and did not think too much about it.
In the wardrobe, the two women stared at each other.
Qin Ruyan looked at her and sent a mental message, “Lin Langyue, what are you hiding here for?”
Lin Langyue blushed. “I want to say that I’m cleaning, do you believe me?”
“I’ll believe you’re a ghost!” Qin Ruyan said unhappily, “You’re not sleeping, and you’re hiding in Li Ran’s closet cleaning!”
Lin Langyue mumbled, “Don’t talk about me. Didn’t you also hide here?”
Qin Ruyan frowned. “I was trying to avoid Yue Jianli, but who are you trying to avoid?”
“To avoid you.”
…….
Qin Ruyan suddenly reacted, and her eyes widened. “You… You and Sheng Zi Li. Oh my God!”
What kind of relationship did Lin Langyue have with Li Ran?
This completely overturned her views!
Lin Langyue had a fever on her pretty face and lowered her head. She was flustered, as if her secret had been exposed.
Looking at her shy appearance, Qin Ruyan was even more certain.
She said in disbelief, “Didn’t you forget about emotions? This was equivalent to crippling your own cultivation! Aren’t you afraid of Yi Qinglan?”
Lin Langyue shook her head. “Sheng Zi Li and I have complicated matters. You don’t understand even if I tell you. By the way, I haven’t asked you yet. What exactly happened in the restaurant that day?”
Qin Ruyan blushed. “What happened has nothing to do with you!”
“Witch!”
“Hyp!”
Two of them glared at each other.
If it weren’t for the timing, they would definitely have started fighting.
At that moment, the voices outside attracted their attention.
Two of them looked at the crack in the door.
They saw Yue Jianli lying in Li Ran’s arms and said coyly, “Bad guy, I miss you so much.”
Li Ran scratched her nose. “Didn’t we just separate?”
Yue Jianli said, “We’ve been separated for four hours…”
“Little lackey.” Li Ran rubbed her head with a doting expression.
Lin Langyue covered her mouth in disbelief.
In her impression, Yue Jianli was a hero of women. She was valiant, and her sword style was unparalleled.
The way she was pestering now completely exceeded her understanding.
She gulped and muttered, “This big bad guy actually didn’t even let off Chief Yue?”
Qin Ruyan sneered, “He didn’t even let you go. Why should he let Yue Jianli go?”
Lin Langyue was speechless.
