Chapter 142: Lin Langyue Panicked!

Southern Wind City…

Yue Jianli slowly opened her eyes.

She found herself lying in the bedroom of Autumn Moon Tower.

At this moment, a female voice came from the side. “You're awake?”

She suddenly sat up and saw Qin Ruyan sitting on the side with a complicated look in her eyes.

Yue Jianli looked around and asked, "Where's Li Ran?"

Qin Ruyan shook her head. "I don't know. He hasn't returned yet."

"How long has it been?"

"One day.“

Yue Jianli flipped over and stood up. Then, she picked up her sword and rushed out of the room.

Qin Ruyan's voice came from behind her. "You don't have to go."

Yue Jianli stopped and turned around, frowning. "What do you mean?"

Qin Ruyan replied, "I went back to look for him when you were unconscious. He…“

"What happened to him?" Yue Jianli gripped the longsword tightly, and her fingers lost their color due to her strength.

"He disappeared." Qin Ruyan said in a low voice, "I've searched for a hundred miles, but I didn't find any traces. It seems like he disappeared into thin air."

Her voice was deep and not as charming as usual.

When Yue Jian had left, she returned to Grand Myriad Mountain Range immediately, but no one was there.

"Someone as strong as Sheng Zi Li wouldn't be in trouble. But, of course, he might have returned to the sect by now…" Qin Ruyan seemed to be comforting herself.

Yue Jianli shook her head and said, "Impossible. If he gets rid of Yu Ye, he'll come to me as soon as possible. He can't leave silently."

In this situation, she no longer had the mood to hide the relationship between them.

Yue Jianli thought for a moment and asked, "What about the others? Yu Ye, Lin Langyue, where's Bai Jiangye?"

Qin Ruyan shook her head. "They’re all gone."

This was exactly what she found strange.

Judging from the situation at the scene, there had been a fierce battle, but no matter what the result was, there should be someone left.

"I'm going to find him."

Yue Jianli didn't say anything more. Instead, she turned around and walked out of the room, soaring into the air.

Not long after she flew, she heard the sound of the wind coming from behind her. She turned around and saw Qin Ruyan following behind her.

"I'll look for him with you," Qin Ruyan said.

Yue Jianli didn't say anything but flew faster.

Two figures flew towards the Grand Myriad Mountain Range.

In the secret chamber…

It wasn't long before Lin Langyue opened her eyes.

She felt comfortable, and her fatigue was gone. She slept very comfortably.

It was as if she were sleeping in her bed.

Wait, on the bed?

Lin Langyue suddenly opened her eyes and saw that she was lying on Li Ran's bed with her breath still on her pillow.

As for Li Ran, he was sitting across from her. In front of him was a small table of Chen Xiang wood, and the small stove on the table was making sounds.

He picked up the teapot and poured the tea into the cup. For a moment, the fragrance of the tea overflowed.

"Yo, you're awake?" Li Ran said lightly.

Lin Langyue was speechless.

She snapped back to her senses and scrambled to her feet, hiding in a corner.

She stammered nervously, "Why would I sleep in your bed?”

Li Ran shrugged. "After I woke up, I saw that you weren't sleeping well, so I carried you to bed."

"Hold, hold on. To the bed?!"

Lin Langyue's face turned red.

Li Ran smiled. "Why are you so nervous? Your cultivation is gone. If I want to do something, why would I wait for you to fall asleep?"

Lin Langyue shook her head. "I know you're not that kind of person. I'm just…"

She was just too shy.

Tianshu Institute was a pure female cultivation sect, so she rarely came into contact with men.

Now that she was alone in the same room with one, she was already very nervous. So now, she ended up sleeping in the other person's bed…

This made it difficult for her to digest.

Li Ran said, "Don't just stand there. Let's have some tea."

Lin Langyue hesitated for a moment and forced herself to sit opposite him.

"It's fine if you carry a bed with you, but what about this table and tea set?" She was puzzled.

Li Ran said, "Anyway, the storage ring is too big, so it's empty. I thought these things might be useful."

He poured her a cup of tea.

"Isn't it used now? Try my tea."

Lin Langyue nodded and wanted to drink.

In the end, she forgot that she didn't have any cultivation. She cried out in shock from the heat and almost spilled tea on her.

Pfft~

Li Ran couldn't help but laugh when he saw her flustered expression. "Lin Langyue, I feel that you are more real than before."

"Real?" Lin Langyue was stunned.

Li Ran nodded. "In the past, you were always high and mighty. Then, it was as if you were looking down on all living things from the clouds. Now, you're much more flesh and blood."

"High and mighty?" Lin Langyue shook her head and said, "What I'm looking for to become a supreme being. Others will see it as a distant place. That isn't my intention."

"Supreme Being?" Li Ran grinned. "That sounds very high-end!"

"There are many different paths of cultivation," said Lin Langyue."The way of the Tianshu Institute is to forget feelings and enact justice."

Forget about love?

He had heard Leng Wuyan say this before as if she was the same as Yi Qinglan.

Li Ran couldn't help but sigh. "The Grand Secretary has forgotten her feelings. The most unfeeling of all… The bell of love is in our generation."

"The bell of love is in our generation?" Lin Langyue was lost in thought.

After a moment, she nodded and said, "Master Li is indeed extraordinary. Just from these words, I can see how deep your understanding of the Great Dao is."

Li Ran shook his head and said, "I didn't say it. Wang Rong said it."

“Wang Rong? Which expert was that?" Lin Langyue asked curiously.

"From the Jin Dynasty… Forget it. You don't know him even if I say so.” Li Ran waved his hand.

"Oh."

The atmosphere quieted down for a moment.

The two silently drank the hot tea.

The fragrance of the tea rose in spirals, adding some warmth to the room.

Monk Ming Yuan was quite thoughtful. Apart from having the ability to seal, this restriction could also ensure the circulation of air.

There was always fresh air in the room.

Coo~

Suddenly, there was a soft sound.

Li Ran frowned. "What’s that sound?"

Lin Langyue held her stomach and blushed. "No, I'm sorry. It's my stomach!"

After experiencing a great battle and sleeping for an unknown number of hours, she was already so hungry that she pressed her chest against her back.

Li Ran held back his smile and said thoughtfully, "I see. I thought a cuckoo flew in."

“A cuckoo?" Lin Langyue was confused.

At this moment, her stomach started to growl again. It was like a cuckoo.

"Ah!" She stood up and hid in a corner.

Li Ran shook his head in amusement.

He never felt that her skin was this thin before, huh?
