Chapter 19: Inform Luo Heaven Sect to get Annihilated!
Leng Yanran thought of her troubles during this trip. Not only did she cause trouble, but she also had to use the life-saving card Master gave her, and in the end, Master had to personally intervene to save her. She felt a pang of shame!
She thought that when she returned to the mountain, Master would severely punish her, but she didn't expect him to smile so gently, calmly beckoning her to sit down. There was not even a hint of reproach!
Originally, in Leng Yanran's mind, all males were the same—once they laid eyes on her, they would unconsciously be drawn to her, right?
But Master was entirely different. He was so kind to her, and he didn't even make any demands of her!
What merits and virtues did she, Leng Yanran, possess to have such a good Master in this lifetime? Did she accumulate good karma in her past life to exchange for such a benevolent Master? "What are you standing there for? Come sit down and tell me everything that happened this time," Chen Daoxuan said, seeing her standing in place.
"Yes, Master!"
Upon hearing this, she quickly stepped forward and arrived in the small pavilion. She respectfully refilled the tea in Master's cup, then took a seat across from him.
"Were you bullied?"
Chen Daoxuan was rather satisfied with her behavior. She was a thoughtful disciple, indeed.
After taking a sip of tea, his gentle inquiry became the final straw that broke Leng Yanran's pent-up grievances!
Why should she be hunted down by the elders behind the scenes just because she killed the Luo Heaven Sect's Chief Disciple to protect herself?!
Why should she be forced to worry about Luo Heaven Sect's retaliation after her desperate resistance?
If she was a wandering nobody without a sect or a Master to support her, wouldn't she become nothing more than Zhang Tianze's pawn in the end?
With these thoughts in mind, Leng Yanran's previously rosy eyes suddenly shimmered with tears that traced down her enchanting cheeks.
In the past, no one cared about her, and she relied on herself amidst numerous geniuses, doing everything possible to protect her innocence. But now, she had someone who cared for her, someone who protected her!
"Master... I... I…"
Leng Yanran choked back her sobs, wanting to express the grievances in her heart, to convey her feelings for her Master.
Before she could continue, she saw her Master stand up and gently embrace her, patting her back soothingly.
"It's alright. From now on, with me by your side, cry if you need to. Once you've cried it out, you won't have to bear any grievances anymore."
Chen Daoxuan let out a long sigh. His top disciple possessed innate charm that made her prone to countless dangers. He was relieved that she managed to handle things this time without falling into the hands of ill-intentioned people.
He knew that her heart must be suppressing many emotions.
As his beloved disciple sobbed in his arms, he had no impure thoughts. He only wished to comfort her and ease the grievances in her heart.
Leng Yanran couldn't hold back any longer and vented all the grievances she had accumulated over the years in her Master's embrace.
...
After a while, Leng Yanran finally felt a bit embarrassed and lifted her head from her Master's embrace. She noticed that his chest was soaked from her tears.
"Disciple was too emotional…"
She lowered her head, her face flushed, unable to meet her Master's gaze. Thinking about her previous display of vulnerability, she wished she could find a hole to hide in!
As soon as she came back from her trip down the mountain, she burst into tears in front of her Master. What a disgrace!
Leng Yanran, oh Leng Yanran, how could you be so emotionally uncontrolled in front of your Master?
"No need to worry. Has the sense of grievance in your heart dispersed?" Chen Daoxuan lightly laughed, patting her head.
After the little incident just now, Chen Daoxuan felt that their relationship had become much closer, and they were no longer as restrained as before.
"I'm much better now!" Leng Yanran replied with a hint of relief.
"Master... Can you let go of me now?" she asked with a shy smile.
Leng Yanran blushed, reassuring her Master that she was fine. Although her Master's embrace was both warm and secure, at this moment, Leng Yanran couldn't help feeling a bit shy.
Sensing the palm resting on her waist and the strong arm around her, she felt like she was losing control! If only her innate charm could work on her Master too... For a moment, Leng Yanran's thoughts drifted away, lost in reverie.
"Oh, um… sit down, and tell me about your journey," Chen Daoxuan said, finally realizing the situation. He quickly withdrew his hand from her waist and returned to his seat.
Feeling her Master's slender fingers brushing past her waist, sending tingles through her, Leng Yanran couldn't help but feel a bit flustered.
Nevertheless, she obediently sat across from her Master and began recounting her experiences and encounters during her trip down the mountain.
Chen Daoxuan, on the other hand, leisurely sipped his tea, listening attentively to his disciple's account. He was delighted to be served tea and water by his disciple and found her company particularly pleasing to the eye.
But suddenly, with one sentence, Chen Daoxuan's tea cup froze in midair, and his face darkened.
"To make a horse run, you must give it grass!? Then, which sect was that audacious first-ranked disciple from? Which sect?"
Chen Daoxuan's face turned grim, and he placed the tea cup back on the stone table with a loud "thud."
How dare that person speak such vulgar words to his disciple! Even he, her Master, wouldn't dare... Ahem, he wouldn't even think of such things!
How dare that guy!
"Inform Master, Zhang Tianze is the first-ranked disciple of Luo Heaven Sect. He is the disciple of Luo Heaven Sect's Master, Luo Wuzhen.
"As for Master Luo Wuzhen's cultivation level, it is said to be at the Annihilation Realm Fifth..."
Leng Yanran didn't expect her Master to change his expression so suddenly because of her words. Although she was infuriated by Zhang Tianze's remarks at the time, her anger had already dissipated after she killed him.
Who could possibly be the one capable of providing her with "grass"? Was it that Zhang Tianze? How dare he think he's worthy!?
"No need to say more. I don't want to know, nor do I need to know about the realm of that so-called 'Master,'" Chen Daoxuan said dismissively.
Chen Daoxuan raised his hand to interrupt Leng Yanran from continuing to talk about the information on Luo Heaven Sect.
He had initially considered the possibility of harvesting some system points from the grudge between Leng Yanran and that sect.
But thinking about how his disciple hadn't suffered any significant losses this time, while the opposing party's members were all dead beyond death, he didn't have the heart to directly wipe out their entire sect.
However, now that Luo Heaven Sect was seeking death, he couldn't be blamed for being ruthless. After all, cultivators should abide by the law of the jungle. Even if their sect was annihilated, it was their own fault for being too weak.
"Contact the Leng family and spread the message. Half a month from now, Luo Heaven Sect shall face annihilation! Those who choose to leave Luo Heaven Sect can keep their lives. But for those who stay, they shall face death without mercy!"
After Chen Daoxuan let out a long breath, he calmly instructed Leng Yanran.
