Chapter 296: Myriad Swords Pavilion? I want to go too!
Chu Lingchuan felt extremely wronged.
She was clearly the one who suffered a loss every time, yet in this little girl's eyes, she actually became an evil person.
"It's all your fault!" She glared angrily at Li Ran. "You have to explain this to Shen Ning!"
Li Ran forced himself to hold back his smile and carried Shen Ning in his arms. "Although this elder sister has a bad temper, her personality is violent, she drinks too much, and she often fights and kills… But she is indeed not a bad person."
Chu Lingchuan gnashed her teeth.
Was this fella trying to explain or smear the truth?
However, what he said seemed to be the truth. She couldn't refute it.
Shen Ning was a bit confused. "Isn't she big brother's enemy?"
Li Ran pondered for a moment. "She was before, but she shouldn't be now."
Shen Ning's small hand grabbed onto his clothes. "But I still want to be with big brother…"
Li Ran gently pinched her little face and said with a smile, "We will still be together. It's just that you occasionally have to spend some time with this crazy. Cough cultivated with Sect Master Chu."
"If that's the case and if you're able to maximize your talent, your future accomplishments will be much higher."
"Of course, the final decision is in your hands. If you don't want to, it doesn't matter. Big brother will always protect you."
What he said was very pertinent, without any bias.
Only then did Chu Lingchuan's expression clear a little, and she nervously looked at Shen Ning.
Shen Ning tilted her head and thought for a moment. "If I train with her, will I really become stronger?"
Chu Lingchuan said, "You are a dual cultivator of the Dao and the Martial Arts. If you can develop two talents at the same time, your strength will definitely increase. If you work hard, you might even catch up to Li Ran."
Shen Ning looked at Li Ran. "Is this true?"
"It's true." Li Ran smiled. "Ning's talent is great. She'll definitely be no worse than this brother in the future."
Hearing this, Shen Ning nodded without hesitation. "Then I'm willing to become her disciple."
Her thoughts were very simple.
Now that her brother was protecting her, she would definitely protect her brother in the future.
Her childhood experience had made her extremely precocious, and she understood that this was a world where the weak were prey to the strong.
To protect the people around her, she had to be strong enough.
"Are you willing? Great!"
In order to accept this disciple, she had "paid" too much. Although it was only a private matter, it was enough to make her happy.
She clenched her fists tightly as she thought in her heart, Leng Wuyan, just wait. I must prove that I'm stronger than you!
When Shen Ning saw her happy and cold smile, she couldn't help but worry.
Leaning against Li Ran's ear, she whispered, "Big brother, isn't this big sister's brain a bit weak…"
Chu Lingchuan almost vomited blood.
"In the future, you'd better say these words in your heart. No matter how small you are, I can still hear your voice!" She suddenly felt that this little girl was a bit difficult to deal with.
Following that, Shen Ning went through a simple ceremony to become Chu Lingchuan's personal disciple.
If Leng Wuyan was included, then there would be two Emperor-rank experts as masters for her. This background was truly frightening.
Chu Lingchuan said to Li Ran, "Since Shen Ning has already taken me as her master, I'll first bring her back to Cloud Sword Island to cultivate for a few days. After her foundation is completed, I'll send her back to Youluo Temple."
"Going to Cloud Sword Island first?" Li Ran rubbed his chin. "It's not that she can't. However, I'm not at ease."
Chu Lingchuan frowned and said, "What are you worried about? Now that she was my disciple, would I harm her?"
Li Ran shook his head. "That's not what I meant. I'm just worried that you'll teach her a bad lesson. That she won’t be a good girl when you send her over. She'll become a little drunkard when she comes back."
……
She said unhappily, "Am I that unreliable in your eyes?"
Li Ran nodded. "You’re quite unreliable."
Chu Lingchuan was speechless.
She rubbed the space between her brows. "Then what do you think we should do?"
Li Ran pondered for a moment and said, "I have two requests. First, in front of Shen Ning, you absolutely can not drink."
"No problem. What about the other one?"
"Secondly, I want to go to Cloud Sword Island too."
"Ah?"
Chu Lingchuan was stunned. "You're also going to the Myriad Swords Pavilion?"
Li Ran nodded. "Since Shen Ning calls me big Brother, I'll be responsible for her. Who knows what kind of atmosphere your Myriad Sword Pavilion has? What if my little sister gets bullied?"
Shen Ning was too young.
Just like that, he gave her to Chu Lingchuan to bring her to an unknown place. He was truly worried.
"This…" Chu Lingchuan was a bit hesitant. "However, your status is special, and I'm afraid it will cause quite a disturbance."
Li Ran replied casually, "As long as you use an illusion to change my appearance, who would know that I'm the Sheng Zi Li of the Devil Dao?"
"It can also… Alright, I agree." Chu Lingchuan nodded.
Li Ran replied, "Alright, then let's set off tomorrow."
Chu Lingchuan said in confusion, "Why is it tomorrow? We can leave now."
"I still have some matters to attend to. I need to make arrangements first."
"Alright…"
Li Ran didn't waste time. He really had something to do.
He wanted to send Aqin back to the sect first.
Two attendants of the Youluo Temple had already returned to the North with their newly recruited disciples.
Since he wanted to go to Cloud Sword Island, it was naturally inconvenient for him to bring Aqin with him.
However, whether it was leaving her in Central City or letting her return to the sect by herself, she didn't feel at ease.
After all, her physique was too special. It was very easy for her to be covered by the demons.
Therefore, Li Ran decided to send her to the sect's teleportation portal first. He would watch her return to the sect with his own eyes before going to the Eastern Sea with Chu Lingchuan.
After hearing about Shen Ning's training, Aqin didn't have any objections.
Although she did not want to be separated from her sister, she did not want to waste her sister's talent.
Moreover, the separation was only temporary.
Shen Ning was still a disciple of the Youluo Temple. She would return to Xuanlin Mountain once she had completed her training.
After the two sisters reluctantly bid farewell, Li Ran left Central City with Sheng Qin.
Outside the city, the dragon carriage was summoned. Two of them boarded the golden sedan and soared into the air in the direction of the transportation formation.
……
At this moment, fifty kilometers to the east of the city, in a small mountain depression.
A pale-faced man hid in the shadows and said in a low voice," Quickly report to third Elder. The target has already left Central City!"
"Yes."
Black-robed man behind him left.
……
On the dragon carriage.
Li Ran stared blankly at Aqin.
Aqin sat cross-legged.
Her black hair fluttered, and her robes fluttered. Holy light enveloped her entire body, but it did not seem distant at all. On the contrary, it made people feel moved.
Looking at the rising aura, Li Ran smiled.
"She's actually building a foundation?"
