When it cos to pulling out a plastic bag, Lu Ran is definitely a master.
Xun Yifei and Luo Ying were truly shocked, struggling to digest this startling news.
After a long while, Xun Yifei finally spoke, "Sir, may I also join your ranks and serve you henceforth?"
Unconsciously, even the way he addressed Lu Ran had changed.
"Of course, you can." Lu Ran understood Xun Yifei’s intention and continued, "But for now, I don’t want you to sever your contract with the Divine Being·Yan Qing."
Xun Yifei hesitated for a mont, "Does sir want a loyal believer? But this lady..."
His aning was obvious, Deng Yuxiang was both an Immortal Sheep disciple and a Night Charm believer.
Her current state in the world was serving two masters.
Lu Ran shook his head and said, "The contract you signed on the God Worship Platform is unequal, you’re a servant of the Divine Being.
A lowly servant, what right do you have to part ways with your master just like that?
Forcibly breaking the contract will cause you extrely severe backlash."
Lu Ran looked directly at Xun Yifei, "I heard you are at the Sea Realm·Second Rank. If you fall back to the River Realm, or beco unable to further your cultivation in the future, it would be a great loss."
Xun Yifei, "But I..."
Lu Ran waved his hand, interrupting him, "Once we return to the Human World, I have a way to appropriately sever the contract between you and the Divine Being."
Xun Yifei was greatly moved, "Does sir have a way to lead us ho?"
Under the hopeful gazes of the couple, Lu Ran slowly shook his head, "Not for the ti being."
In the distance, Jing Hong, who had been secretly excited, heard this statent and couldn’t help but darken her gaze.
Lu Ran continued, "The road, is made by people walking it."
However, such comforting words couldn’t raise the spirits of the people.
Lu Ran casually summoned the Ancient Bronze Mirror and transford it into a standing mirror.
Evil Mirror Magic·Mirror Flower Moon!
He looked at the couple and said, "If I could steal enough power from the Evil Mirror Clan to constantly improve the grade of Mirror Flower Moon..."
Luo Ying’s eyes brightened!
Xun Yifei imdiately understood, "Mirror Flower Moon can take us back to the Human World?"
Lu Ran dispelled the Mirror Flower Moon, "I can’t give you a definite answer, but for personally, I hold onto this hope."
Xun Yifei imdiately asked, "How does sir steal the power of the Evil Mirror Demon?"
Lu Ran, "By slaying this clan."
Luo Ying nodded, finding it straightforward and brutal.
Lu Ran added, "The way ho isn’t limited to this; in the Human World, there are also people who have returned from the Holy Spirit Mountain Realm.
They must have found the right path.
So, don’t be disappointed."
As he spoke, Lu Ran glanced at the distant Jing Hong, repeating the previous words, "The road is made by people walking it."
Jing Hong’s heart trembled deeply!
She almost forgot how sharp her sect leader could be.
Jing Hong imdiately knelt on one knee, filled with anxiety, lowering her head to Lu Ran.
Lu Ran was quite helpless.
He didn’t an to bla her.
Disappointnt and doubt are very natural; Lu Ran was encouraging Jing Hong.
But Jing Hong had an unimaginable past; she lived far too cautiously.
Xun Yifei didn’t have the energy to concern himself with others; he requested, "Sir, I still wish to follow..."
Lu Ran looked at the man in the bamboo hat, "Do you want to pave the way for your child, lay the last brick?"
Xun Yifei fell silent.
Lu Ran sighed inwardly, "What a good father."
Deng Yuxiang tily spoke up, "My existence has already proven this path is viable, there’s no need for you to sever an arm."
Xun Yifei still looked at Lu Ran, his eyes carrying a hint of pleading.
Persistent.
Yu Changsheng, who had been very quiet, suddenly spoke, "If Brother Xun truly wants it for his child, he should maintain his strength, so he can better protect them.
Our side has already provided adequate evidence; Brother Xun need not be stubborn.
Perhaps the one he should really overco is himself."
Xun Yifei turned to look at Yu Changsheng.
Yu Changsheng smiled, "Insisting on tearing up the contract seems less like love for your child and more like deep guilt and nurous debts.
Do you want to reduce your guilt by using this self-punishing thod?"
Xun Yifei’s face imdiately changed!
Lu Ran couldn’t help but feel secretly stunned!
Goodness~
Who would’ve thought from this angle?
Besides, is Mr. Cong Long brave enough to say that?
Yu Changsheng continued to smile.
So people need to hear words spoken bluntly, deep and piercing, to truly awaken.
Whether such words would offend...
No matter.
Xun Yifei and Luo Ying’s loyalty to the sect leader was enough.
Moreover, if they were sensible and broad-minded enough, Xun Yifei would be grateful for this guidance once he truly ca to understand.
Tearing up the contract ans you lose more than a rank; your future might also stall!
"Yifei." Luo Ying gently patted Xun Yifei’s shoulder.
Xun Yifei had good self-control, but beca increasingly silent.
Lu Ran’s voice ca through, "We’ll be in this Holy Spirit Mountain Realm for a long, long ti, enough to get to know each other.
You don’t need to prove it in such an extre way.
Join the Ran Sect; starting now, we will evaluate each other."
Luo Ying pressed on Xun Yifei’s shoulder, applying a slight downward force, and the two knelt on one knee together.
Heaven showed rcy and granted a glimr of hope.
Luo Ying chose to grasp it tightly!
Her way of expressing her attitude was also extre, completely abandoning her status as a Great Power of the Sea Realm.
Luo Ying, with Xun Yifei, imitated Jing Hong’s previous gesture and perford the ritual.
Lu Ran imdiately stepped forward, greatly delighted!
A great deal! A great deal!!
These are two Sea Realm Great Powers!
He quickly helped the couple up, very kindly saying, "We will evaluate each other."
Deng Yuxiang quietly watched this scene, quite satisfied with the couple’s attitude.
She always believed that as the sect leader, Lu Ran should have an absolutely noble status.
This is the only way to lead a team effectively.
In the Human World, you can use favor and friendships to rally partners.
But here in this lawless Holy Spirit Mountain!
Favor alone is not a reliable ans of gathering people.
You must use benefits, and you must use power.
"Swoosh..."
The gale subsided, but the rain fell even harder.
Lu Ran patted Xun Yifei on the shoulder, laughing, "I used to call you uncle, but you’re only just over thirty."
Xun Yifei, "..."
Although barely over thirty, given your age... calling you uncle doesn’t seem wrong?
Lu Ran continued to smile, "You do look quite young; it’s just your aura is too weathered. It fooled back then."
It must be from years of internal tornt that led Xun Yifei to develop such a unique aura.
Luo Ying suggested, "Sect Leader, shall we find a place to shelter from the rain and talk further?"
This address of "Sect Leader" really pleased Lu Ran~
"Alright!" He imdiately raised his hand to cast a spell.
As the standing mirror ford, he led them back dozens of kiloters away to a secluded sea cliff cave.
"Boom!"
A thunderbolt suddenly bood in the sky.
Lu Ran’s expression slightly changed, not looking too good.
He went to the narrow cave entrance, gazing at the rolling dark clouds overhead, "One of you should return to check on the children."
The couple was quite surprised, not expecting Lu Ran to consider this.
The two exchanged looks, communicating with their eyes, and Xun Yifei clasped his hands in farewell, "Sect Leader, I’ll go check."
Lu Ran opened a mirror for Xun Yifei, leading directly to the hidden valley.
He didn’t suggest a visit or ask if the children were ho.
Given the couple’s cautious nature, they must have hidden the children before leaving.
"The valley." Lu Ran only said two words and said no more.
Xun Yifei hesitated for a mont but still walked in silently.
"Your children are too young, currently unable to sign a contract." Lu Ran dispersed the standing mirror.
Children cannot sign a contract because their fragile bodies cannot bear this mysterious foreign power.
Once Divine Power enters their bodies, it could hinder growth and developnt or even cause disability.
"Sect Leader, I know." Luo Ying removed her bamboo hat, responding softly.
As she took off her hat, a long braid fell down.
The last ti Lu Ran saw her, she wore her hair long and flowing. Now, this hairstyle had a bit of a resemblance to the Divine Being·Ash.
Yet, Luo Ying’s bright eyes and perfect natural beauty were quite unlike Ash.
Because the features of the Divine Being·Ash... well, let’s say average at best.
Lu Ran turned and leaned against the cave entrance, gazing at the heavy rain over the sea, "Since you as a couple choose to join us, we will also strive to help you, to protect them as they grow."
Luo Ying looked at Lu Ran’s back, expressing gratitude, "Thank you, Sect Leader."
Lu Ran added, "Maybe, before that day cos, we’ll be able to return to the Human World."
Luo Ying did not respond further.
The hopes and dreams of the past were worn away day by day.
Lu Ran was still young, new to this realm, and Luo Ying understood why he still held hope.
No matter how, Lu Ran’s incredibly astonishing abilities could greatly resolve her family’s significant challenges!
Luo Ying lowered her gaze, clutching the brim of her bamboo hat.
"Is there really an Immortal Island on the sea with abundant Holy Spirit Energy?" Lu Ran shifted the topic.
Luo Ying organized her thoughts, responding, "A few disciples of Yan Qing once ventured out to sea, fleeing back with this news.
Subsequently, two nearby forces rged completely and sailed out en masse.
Judging by the result, this news is likely true."
Lu Ran gazed at the endless sea, marveling, "Those Yan Qing disciples were truly daring, venturing out to sea?"
Luo Ying softly said, "Maybe, they also wanted to return ho. With no way to the heavens and no door to the earth, the sea was chosen."
"Mr. Cong Long."
"Sect Leader?"
"Shall we go and see for ourselves?" Lu Ran asked.
Now, with two Sea Realm Great Powers joining Ran Sect!
Even if one must stay to watch the children, the other is enough to significantly boost Ran Sect’s combat strength!
This sea can definitely be crossed!
Yu Changsheng responded, "The fallen Holy Spirit Energy within the mountain is collected by many Human Clan and Evil Demons.
Although there are also Evil Demons in the sea, their numbers are relatively fewer."
Lu Ran nodded in agreent.
Yu Changsheng continued, "While there are sea Evil Demons capable of flying or landing, their habits predominantly favor staying in the sea.
Holy Spirit Energy descending onto so islands, lingering and accumulating, seems plausible."
Lu Ran’s gaze penetrated the layers of rain, looking towards the turbulent sea, murmuring:
"Sir, you’ve truly tempted ..."
