My Love Life With The Sect Masters in Xianxia

Chapter 158: How About We Make Love In My Room?

Li Daoyuan wore a troubled expression.

It wasn’t that he disliked these two young women, but their backgrounds were simply too powerful, and their affiliations too complicated.

Although the Li family was a prestigious noble lineage, even they could not withstand the pressure of two top-tier sects.

Seeing this, Li Ran chuckled, "Relax, don’t be so tense. This is nothing."

Li Daoyuan shook his head and said, "You’ve managed to charm the top disciples of both sects at the same time—how is this nothing?"

Hearing this, the two women blushed and lowered their heads.

Li Ran had originally wanted to clarify that he had actually only pursued one of them, but at this point, he wasn’t sure how to explain it.

So he simply chose not to.

Qin Ruyan, seeing that he didn’t deny it, had a hint of joy and shyness flash in her eyes.

Li Daoyuan continued, "Putting aside the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion and the Hehuan Sect for now, what do you plan to say if your master finds out?"

Leng Wuyan was known for her iron-clad discipline and merciless nature.

Moreover, banning romantic relationships was one of the strictest rules in her sect.

Li Ran shrugged. "My master already knows."

"She already knows?"

Li Daoyuan immediately tensed up. "Then what happened? Did she expel you from the sect?"

"Of course not. She just told me to fly back to the sect myself, so I decided to stop by home first."

Li Ran said casually.

Li Daoyuan was stunned. "That’s it?"

That didn’t sound like something the famed Leng Wuyan would do!

What he didn’t know was that this particular rule had already become obsolete, after all, the one who makes and enforces the said rule itself has already done worse.

Although he was still somewhat confused, at least he felt somewhat relieved.

Li Ran then asked, "By the way, where’s Qingge?"

Li Daoyuan replied, "Ever since you left, Qingge has been training in seclusion with the Old Ancestor nearly every day. She hasn’t come by today, so she’s probably at the Xiao Mansion."

Li Ran nodded. "Alright, I’ll go find her later."

It had been a while since he had seen that girl, and he missed her.

He then left the study with the two women.

To avoid attracting too much attention, Li Ran arranged for them to stay in a more secluded guest room, leaving only trusted servants to take care of them.

Yue Jianli, like a little koala, clung to him and refused to let go.

"Come on, it’s the middle of the day. Don’t you feel embarrassed?"

Li Ran reached out and playfully tapped her nose.

Yue Jianli pouted, "We’re already that close, what’s there to be embarrassed about?"

Her usual heroic demeanor had melted away, replaced by a soft, affectionate expression.

Thinking back to their past, Li Ran recalled how she used to be a fierce, sword-wielding warrior, yet now she had become so tender and gentle for him.

Warmth filled his heart. He smiled and said, "Then how about we make love in my room?"

"Let’s not."

Yue Jianli blushed and turned her head away. "You should go find Xiao Qingge first."

"Qingge?"

Li Ran was momentarily stunned.

Yue Jianli rested her head against his chest and said softly, "You and Xiao Qingge were engaged long before I came into the picture, yet I was the one who… well, I owe her an apology."

"The last time we fought, I was too impulsive. Help me apologize to her."

Li Ran chuckled. "Why don't you do it yourself?"

Yue Jianli huffed proudly, "Hmph, I am the Head Disciple of Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion! How could I possibly lower myself to apologize in person?"

Seeing Li Ran's teasing expression, she lowered her head in embarrassment and muttered, "Alright, I just… don't know how to say it."

"Got it, don’t worry."

Li Ran ruffled her hair. "I'll explain things to Qingge."

"Mhm."

Yue Jianli blushed even more, whispering, "Then… I won’t lock my door tonight. I’ll be waiting for you."

Seeing her shy expression, Li Ran couldn't help but swallow hard.

As he finally managed to leave the room, he sighed and shook his head. "They say the gentle embrace of a beauty is a hero’s grave—turns out the ancient saying was right!"

A soft chuckle came from the side.

He turned to see Qin Ruyan leaning against the doorframe, her eyes curving into a teasing smile.

"Holy Son Li, take care of yourself. Lust is a blade that cuts to the bone!"

Li Ran placed his hands behind his back and said proudly, "This Holy Son is blessed with extraordinary talent and a body of steel! Even ten blades couldn’t cut through me. Unless… Saintess Qin wants to try herself?"

"Who wants to try anything on you?!"

Qin Ruyan flushed and spat playfully.

This guy always had the most shameless remarks—he acted more like a disciple of the Hehuan Sect than she did!

"By the way, aren’t you worried about bringing me into your house just like that?" she asked.

Li Ran raised a brow. "Worried about what?"

Qin Ruyan lowered her voice. "I'm a so-called ‘demoness’ from the Hehuan Sect. In the eyes of others, I’m worse than a brothel girl. Aren’t you afraid I’ll tarnish your reputation?"

Because of her background, people had always labeled her as a seductress. No matter how much they secretly desired her, they would never acknowledge it publicly, fearing gossip and scandal.

"Reputation?"

Li Ran sneered. "Power is what truly matters. Reputation is the most useless thing. If someone still cares about it, that just means they aren't strong enough!"

"Besides…"

He glanced at her. "What's wrong with demonesses? I like making friends with demonesses. Who would dare have a problem with that?"

With that, he turned and strode away.

Qin Ruyan stood there watching his back, stunned for a long time.

"Friends?"

A playful smile curled her lips, her expression bewitching.

Xiao Mansion

The entire Xiao family was gathered in the reception hall, from the Clan Patriarch to the elders.

The atmosphere was tense.

Xiao Qingge sat across from a young man, her gaze filled with wariness.

"One doesn’t visit without a reason. Senior Brother Feng, why have you come to the Xiao family today?" she asked.

The man set down his teacup and smiled. "It's been a while. Junior Sister Xiao is still as straightforward as ever."

Though his smile was gentle, Xiao Qingge remained on high alert.

This was Feng Wanjiang—

The prized disciple of Chen Yundao, and the top-ranking Head Disciple of the Divine Dao Sect!

She knew all too well that he was a smiling tiger—the brighter his smile, the more ruthless his intentions.

If he had come looking for her, it definitely wasn’t for anything good.

Feng Wanjiang studied her carefully before raising a brow in mild surprise. "Your aura feels more restrained than before… could it be that you've broken through to the Golden Core realm?"

Xiao Qingge nodded. "I was lucky and managed to advance."

She had already been on the verge of breaking through, and with the abundant spiritual energy in the Li family's secret realm, her advancement had been inevitable.

Feng Wanjiang clapped his hands. "Impressive! As expected of the Pure Fairy. A superb quality talent like you is truly extraordinary! The future holds boundless possibilities for you. This is a great blessing for our Divine Dao Sect!"

Xiao Qingge frowned. "I was expelled from the sect long ago. What does my cultivation have to do with the Divine Dao Sect?"

"Hmm?"

Feng Wanjiang’s smile faded slightly, and a dangerous glint flickered in his eyes.
