Chapter 259

"If you can't win, so be it. What's the big deal?" Qin Ran said, turning to the side as Li Shiyin climbed onto his back, following his hand.

He lifted his back with his foolish disciple on it and said, "There are still many people in this world whom you can't defeat! You don't have to be the first person to dominate the world throughout history. Are you also going to turn your back on all living beings and make decisions alone for eternity?

"Even if you defeat Lu Junxing, there's still Bai Ruoxi; even if you defeat Bai Ruoxi, there's still Su Changqing. Even if you defeat your peers, there are still elders, two generations ahead, Yuan Ying stage, He Dao stage, and Mahayana stage. Even if you defeat ordinary cultivators, there are still immortals! Even if you surpass the immortals, there are still those who have survived from ancient times to the present, seeking longevity.

"There are many, many people you can't defeat."

Li Shiyin was truly comforted. Pouting, she lay on Qin Ran's back, her long limbs wrapped around his neck and waist.

"You stinky master!" she scolded.

Her foolish disciple's strong and powerful legs were wrapped around her waist, allowing her to feel the elasticity of her thigh muscles through her back. Her foolish disciple's growing chest pressed against her back, and she could feel its softness against her own back. Her foolish disciple's head rested on her shoulder, and the warmth of his breath and words grazed her neck and ears. Qin Ran resisted but also enjoyed it.

In fact, it was a struggle between "This, this isn't right!" and "In broad daylight, such intimacy between master and disciple, how improper!" and "The youthful and vibrant body of a beautiful girl is truly wonderful!" and "My foolish disciple... does seem to like me..."

"The Marvelous Fate of Immortal Trees"

They were on the stage, with many disciples paying attention to them from below. Some of those disciples vaguely felt that something was amiss. Qin Ran was not used to being watched, so he quickly stepped down from the platform. Many people had already realized what was happening.

Voices occasionally came from the crowd:

"My white-robed female sword immortal..."

"Ah, why is it like this?"

"It is said that is the master of the sword immortal. The shamelessness between master and disciple! How disgusting!"

"This world, why has it come to this... Can you treat me gently?"

Some people stared at this master-disciple pair in place due to their animosity, while others left because they couldn't bear to see their goddess committed to someone else.

Tian Wenjin was probably one of those who left without saying goodbye... Many people were dissatisfied with the assessment results and left at this point.

At this moment, Chasing the Wind suddenly spoke up, "Ah, dad! My big brother wants me to accompany him in a fight!"

"?" Qin Ran looked up at Chasing the Wind. Chasing the Wind was now two meters tall, standing there like a prehistoric monster, but at this moment, he was twisting and turning, with the same expression as a middle school student who wanted to go out and play but needed his parents' permission. Qin Ran frowned and said, "If you want to go, then go!"

"My big brother said he wants to fight a little longer today. He enjoys watching the disciples in the assessment fight, and it makes him itch..." Chasing the Wind said, "He specifically asked me to tell you."

Qin Ran became alert and asked, "You guys aren't planning to leave the sect to do something bad, are you?!"

"No... No!" Chasing the Wind quickly assured him, "I will never do anything bad."

"You can accompany your big brother to play, but you can't leave the sect without permission!" Qin Ran warned.

"I know..."

Chasing the Wind readily agreed and then ran off like a streak of smoke, like a prisoner just released from prison.

"Ah!" Qin Ran shook his head. Another person who can't be at ease.

"A spoiled boy, a cherished girl of the master..." Long Qiqi muttered to herself as she glanced at Chasing the Wind running far away, then looked at Li Shiyin. She turned and walked towards the research building, thinking, "I wonder what that guy has that makes him so special."

Qin Ran shrugged, tilting his head to look at Li Shiyin. He noticed that she was lying sideways on the chair, her big watery eyes filled with a smile.

He smiled at her and ignored her, engrossed in reading his book.

In the early summer, the old spirit pagoda tree bloomed with white pagoda flowers. Sometimes, the pagoda flowers would fall from the tree and float among the master and disciple.

The pagoda flowers carried a hint of sweetness in the air.

Li Shiyin smelled the sweetness, and her heart felt sweet too.

The bright sunlight filtered through the branches and leaves of the old spirit pagoda tree, sprinkling tiny specks of light. She lay sideways on the chair, gazing at her beloved master with great affection. A gentle breeze blew, and she floated like a dandelion, drifting and drifting, floating up into the sky, joining the stars.

She fell asleep quietly.
