You Lou Temple. Main peak.

A group of young disciples was gathered at this place. Most of them were new disciples who had just entered the sect, and some of them were those who had missed the previous trial.

They were both nervous and excited about the upcoming trial.

"I've heard that the Grand Myriad Mountain Range is extremely terrifying, and the mountain is occupied by countless fiendish demons. It's a forbidden area for humans!"

"Aren't those little rookies going to the demon's plate?"

"The sect won't let us die. The trial’s just outside the Hundred Thousand Mountains. It's not that dangerous."

"Also, Senior Brother is here. What are you all panicking about?"

"I wonder which senior brother will be leading us this time. I hope he's a handsome man. I’ll be in a good mood for this kind of trial."

"Handsome addict…"

—

Hearing the disciples' discussions, Lu Xinran sighed and frowned.

She was also on the trial team.

She, who had the cultivation at the early Foundation Establishment realm, was teamed up with these Qi Refining Practitioners.

Her status had changed from the Inner Sect Junior Sister to the Senior Sister. However, she was not happy at all. The thought of not being able to see Sheng Zi for a long time caused her heartache.

"Sigh,I'm still planning on making Plum Cake for Sheng Zi. Looks like I'll have to wait until I return." In her heart, cultivation was only ranked second…

Suddenly, the clamorous discussions stopped.

"What happened?" Lu Xinran raised her head blankly and saw a white-robed figure floating down.

Her mouth opened slightly, her eyes filled with disbelief. "Sheng… Sheng Zi?!"

Li Ran landed in the middle of the arena. He excluded a handsome and heroic aura.

He looked around and indifferently said, “I am the leader of this team.”

"My mission is to ensure the safety of your lives.

As for whether you lose arms or have broken legs, that has nothing to do with me.

Therefore, my only request to everyone is to…

…Stay alive!

We have to gather at the teleportation portal in an hour. Those who arrive late will be sentenced to death!" Li Ran's words were brief and concise. After he finished speaking, he flew into the air.

The young disciples were quiet for a moment before they went into turmoil.

“Which senior brother is this? He's too handsome!”

"Especially that cold demeanor. He’s simply too cool!”

"I love him!" The female disciples looked at his departing figure with starry eyes.

Most of them were outer sect disciples. Normally, they wouldn't be able to converse with Li Ran, so they naturally couldn't recognize him.

"You all don't know who he is? He is the sect’s Sheng Zi, Li Ran!" A disciple spoke out.

"Sheng Zi?"

"Is he the Sheng Zi Li Ran?"

"Oh my god!" Everyone looked at each other.

He was a legendary figure.

This is just a small trial, yet the trial is led by Sheng Zi himself? Isn't this too exaggerated!

Lu Xinran was so excited that she almost jumped up. "I didn't expect that I would be able to participate in the trial with Sheng Zi. My luck is too good!"

—

Li Ran returned to his residence.

Aqin knew of the trial and helped him pack his bags.

Due to her not being a disciple of Youluo Temple, she couldn't accompany him during this trial.

"Lord Sheng Zi, this is your replacement clothes during the trial. If you get dirty, you can change into them.”

"These are food for your trip. They are your favorite dishes, and they won't rot in your storage ring.”

"This…"

Li Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "All right, it's not like I'm going to war. It's just an ordinary trial. I'll be back soon."

"Yes, Aqin will work hard to cultivate and wait for Sheng Zi’s return," she said seriously.

"Be good." Li Ran rubbed her little head.

Aqin narrowed her eyes, her expression showed that she was enjoying his touch.

"Aqin is already at the mid-stage of Qi Refining. According to the Mysterious Light Sutra, as long as Aqin reaches the Foundation Establishment Realm, Aqin would be able to cultivate with Lord Sheng Zi…Wu!"

Li Ran covered her mouth. "Apart from cultivating with me, can you pursue something else?"

"Huh?" Aqin's eyes were black and white as she blinked innocently.

Li Ran was speechless. "……"

"Forget it. You can continue cheering."

"Wu!" After dealing with Aqin, Li Ran walked out of the room.

He looked at the towering Demon Peak. Ever since the last time Leng Wuyan had fled from embarrassment, she had never shown her face again. He had been told that the sect master was not present at her bedchamber.

"Could it be that Master is angry with me? She shouldn't be. The last time we met was fine." Li Ran pinched his chin.

Inwardly, he felt a little hopeless.

At this moment, a female disciple quickly walked up to him.

"Sheng Zi."

"Deacon Wang? Are you looking for me?" Li Ran asked.

Deacon Wang nodded and reached out to hand over a letter. "This is what Sect Master told me to give you before you leave."

"Letter?" Li Ran was stunned for a moment before asking, "Other than this, did the sect master say anything else?"

Deacon Wang shook her head. "No."

"Alright."

When Deacon Wang had left, Li Ran poured his Qi into the letter.

Leng Wuyan's cold voice rang in his ears:

[Ran'er, I'm going to the southern border. I have something important to deal with, so I can't personally send you off.

Be safe and come back early.

I will give you a pleasant surprise upon your return…

Once you go outside, you should protect yourself. You are not allowed to touch flowers and stir weeds, or I would ignore you…

Remember to think about me every day… ]

The more she spoke, the smaller her voice became. In the end, he almost couldn't hear her voice.

Li Ran could even imagine how shy she was when she recorded this letter.

Who could withstand this? Even I, the recipient, am getting diabetes from it!
