Chapter 222: This Poor Daoist Will Send You Back to the Sect!

Qin Ruyan shivered.

What was this sudden hostility?

She didn’t offend Daoist Yi, did she?

Yi Qinglan looked at her silently.

Her eyes were cold and calm, but they contained an irresistible pressure.

Qin Ruyan felt her heart clenched by her big hand. Her face was pale and her breathing was difficult.

At this moment, Li Ran stood up and blocked Yi Qinglan’s gaze.

He smiled and said, “Daoist Yi, don’t scare Saint Qin. This has nothing to do with her.”

Her gaze was cut off and the pressure dissipated.

Qin Ruyan’s chest rose and fell as she panted heavily. Her back was drenched in cold sweat.

Yi Qinglan looked at him and felt a little upset.

After she received Li Ran’s message, she was afraid that something would happen to him and immediately came to Kui Feng City.

In the end, she watched them stroll the streets for six hours.

For the entire six hours, she hid in the shadows like a bodyguard, watching these two people get tired of talking and laughing…

Both depressed and sullen.

Originally, she was glad that when the Ancestor had just stepped into Kui Feng City, she had been able to crush him to death with a single finger. However, she had just waited until the last moment before taking action, just to scare Li Ran.

“This poor Daisy has come thousands of miles to save him, and has helped him gain some benefits from Liu Xunhuan.

“Now that she only looked at Qin Ruyan, his heart ached? And judging from this tone, it seemed like this poor Daoist was bullying her…”

Yi Qinglan felt extremely wronged. “This heartless thing!”

—

Qin Ruyan came back to her senses.

Although she did not know what she had done wrong, she still cupped her hands and said, “If Daoist Yi had not helped me, I might have already been a corpse. I would definitely remember the grace of saving my life!”

Yi Qinglan shook her head. “There’s no need to thank me. This poor Daoist is not trying to save you.”

“……” Qin Ruyan was a little embarrassed. This Daoist was too direct.

Yi Qinglan calmly replied, “You know that someone is trying to kill him, but you’re still entangled with Li Ran and put him in danger. What’s the difference between killing him and leading him to his death?”

When Qin Ruyan heard this, her body trembled and her eyes reddened.

This was where she blamed herself.

She only wanted to be with Li Ran, but in the end, she almost harmed him.

“Daoist Yi…” Li Ran saw that the atmosphere was a little heavy and was about to speak when he was interrupted by Yi Qinglan.

Yi Qinglan looked at him and said indifferently, “This poor Daoist is not your hired thug, nor is she a servant that you summon to come and go.

“This poor Daoist only needs you to live, that’s all.

“I hope you know that. Don’t cause trouble.”

Li Ran frowned.

Her cold tone made him feel uncomfortable.

He nodded and said with a light smile, “I understand. Thank you very much for your help this time, Daoist Yi. Then let’s say we’re even. I won’t bother you anymore.”

“Even?” Yi Qinglan clenched her hands tightly in her Daoist robe.

Not only did he hug her without permission, he even messed up her state of mind. Now, he’s saying they’re even?

Her nose was sour, but her voice was calm. “Alright, then…”

At this moment, the innkeeper stood up from behind the counter with a confused expression.

“Strange, I was just checking my account just now. Why did I suddenly fall asleep?”

He was confused.

At that moment, he saw Li Ran and his wife and said with a smile, “Oh, haven’t you rested yet? I’m not lying to the two of you. Our bed is big and soft, so both of you sleeping won’t be a problem.”

“……” The air quieted down.

After a while, Yi Qinglan’s cold voice sounded. “You two are sleeping on the same bed?”

Li Ran was a little nervous. He scratched his head and said, “We haven’t slept yet, but there’s only one room here.”

Yi Qinglan was silent for a while before she stood up and left.

“Since that’s the case, this poor Daoist will not disturb your good time.”

“Ah?” Li Ran pinched his chin and looked puzzled as he watched her leave. “I feel like she’s in a bad mood today!

“Hai, what you just said is a little too much…

“I’ll tell her using the Red Line later.”

—

In the room, Li Ran lay on the bird bed, fiddling with Liu Xunhuan’s ‘compensation’.

Wind Spirit Grass was a top-grade immortal material that could be refined into a Shadow Follow-up Pill.

Taking this pill could not only improve one’s comprehension of the Shadow Dao, but also use Shadow Evasion to avoid damage and travel thousands of miles.

And the Nine Reversal Pill also had a great background.

He could greatly recover his nature essence and improve his recovery efficiency. He didn’t have to worry about his nature essence being insufficient to take one when he broke through.

Of course, the most precious treasure was that spirit treasure.

Mountain River Fan.

Li Ran picked up the fan and saw that the bone was black and white. He didn’t know what the material was, but it was very heavy in his hand.

There were complicated patterns carved on it, as if there were images of the Grand Dao.

Swish!

The fan was flung away and a brilliant light appeared.

One could only see that on the pure white fan, there was a majestic landscape painting.

The mountain was towering into the clouds. The mountain rose and fell, covered in clouds and mist. It made people realize that they were in this mountain.

A waterfall hung upside down like a river, pouring into the river below.

It was clear that the scene was still, but it seemed to be able to hear the roaring of the waterfall. There was water vapor everywhere.

The landscape flooded the fan, and it was as if the viewer was in a painting.

Li Ran only looked at it for a while before he felt his mood surge and could not calm down for a long time.

He poured spirit energy into the fan, and the bone of the fan shone with a faint light. The landscape in the painting immediately moved.

He understood.

As long as the spirit treasure had enough nature essence, it could display the scene in the painting and suppress the enemy with the power of mountains and rivers.

It was indeed a supreme treasure.

Seeing this, he felt even more embarrassed. This treasure was something Yi Qinglan had helped him get…

Li Ran was about to connect to the Red Line when he heard a nervous voice.

“Sheng Zi Li…”

“Huh?” He raised his head in confusion and saw Qin Ruyan hiding behind the curtains. Under the illumination of the candlelight, she was very shadowy.

She said softly, “Daoist Yi is right today. I almost harmed you. If you hadn’t been prepared, I’m afraid it would have been a disaster.

“Thinking about it carefully, this servant is really too selfish. In order to stay with you, I subconsciously ignored many risks. I didn’t expect that Ancestor Huanxi would personally make a move…

“This servant has let you down.”

Li Ran shook his head and smiled. “Don’t be so pretentious. There’s no need to talk about this between friends.”

In fact, the moment he saw Ancestor Huanxi, he actually let out a sigh of relief.

He was not afraid of thieves stealing, but he was afraid of thieves thinking about it.

As long as Ancestor Huanxi attacked, he would be courting death.

If the other party really held back, it would be more troublesome. After all, being watched by the peak of the Heavenly Tribulation was a disaster.

Qin Ruyan smiled and said, “To this servant, Sheng Zi Li is not as simple as a friend.

“You are natural and unrestrained, but you have your own persistence and bottom line.

“Although you like to touch flowers and flirt with grass, you don’t bully others. On the contrary, you have great respect for me.

“When I see your face, my heart will beat faster. When I’m with you, I feel very safe.

“This time, you saved my life…”

Li Ran couldn’t help but be taken aback as he listened to the man’s soft and gentle voice.

He didn’t expect this demoness to be so meticulous even though she looked like she had nothing to hide.

“This servant grew up in the Devil Dao, and I’ve seen all sorts of deceitful people. Sheng Zi Li was the first to stand in front of this servant, saying that he wanted to support this servant.

“From that moment on, this servant decided that I must give you the Spirit Pearl.”

Qin Ruyan slowly walked out from behind the curtains.

When Li Ran saw her, he was stunned.

His face flushed red as he stammered, “Your, your clothes…”

Qin Ruyan’s cheeks were red and her eyes sparkled as she said, “Although I can’t give the Spirit Pearl to the Sheng Zi right now, I’ve seen a lot of texts and know there are other ways…”

Even she was too shy to continue.

Li Ran gulped as his throat tightened.

Just as she was about to say something, his vision suddenly blurred. When she opened her eyes again, she had already arrived outside Kui Feng City!

Yi Qinglan’s back was facing him as her body trembled.

Li Ran rubbed his eyes and confirmed that it was not an illusion.

He asked curiously, “Daoist Yi? You… Why are you looking for me?”

Yi Qinglan’s face turned red as she clenched her fists. Her eyes were filled with shame and anger.

“The outside world is too complicated. This poor Daoist will send you back to the sect!”

Li Ran was confused. “Ah?”

—

In the restaurant room, Qin Ruyan shyly waited for a long time, but there was no response.

“Sheng Zi Li, you don’t want to harm me…”

She put down her hand and looked over and there was no one in the room.

“……

“???

“Where is he?”
