That's a pretty bold statement...
Liu Yuan glanced at Xu Ping, but judging from Elder Xu's current state, he should not be able to tell that this was just a joke with a hint of complaint.
Xu Ping was indeed shocked to the point of being speechless. Could she possibly be pregnant?!
Need I even tell you what happened?!
How could it be a junior sister? How could it be a junior sister? !
Her junior sister was the current leader of the Lihuo Sect! Anyone could violate the sect rules and be expelled from the sect, but she absolutely could not!
If even the leader of the Lihuo Sect doesn't follow the rules, how can the Lihuo Sect be regarded as such?
However, Liu Yuan's questions and Jiang Miaoran's answers laid the facts bare in front of Xu Ping, making her feel that her previous guesses were simply too young and naive.
Xu Ping held his forehead and whispered with difficulty: "No..."
Liu Yuan reached out to support Xu Ping's swaying body and sighed, "I wanted to tell you just now, but I was afraid that you couldn't accept it at the moment. Why bother now?"
Xu Ping grabbed his arm and said with a sad look in her eyes: "I know you can't refuse her, but this is a big mistake!"
What she meant was naturally the fact that Liu Yuan's current cultivation level had greatly decreased, and he was seriously injured and would not live long. Naturally, he could not defeat Jiang Miaoran, whose cultivation level was similar to hers, and he had no way to resist the other party's kidnapping and some unspeakable things.
But from what Jiang Miaoran heard, it seemed that Liu Yuan was not determined to sever the relationship. He still had feelings for her and even wanted to tell Xu Ping the truth just now.
The twin-tailed loli holding the book's eyes lit up. He just asked a question like "Don't you know why I am here?"
Oh, he really came here specifically to find her. Doesn't this mean that he actually cares about her very much? If he was so disappointed, then he could just pretend to be a stranger and not know each other. Why bother looking for an answer?
"Since you can't refuse, isn't it better to enjoy it?" Jiang Miaoran said seriously, "Sister, this is the natural truth of the yin and yang of heaven and earth. Do you really think the sect rules set by the founder back then are reasonable? Even the founder, before he set the sect rules, hadn't he fallen in love with people more than 600 times? In this case, didn't he violate the sect rules more than 600 times first?"
She said firmly: "In the final analysis, he was frustrated in his relationship, so he developed a hatred for love out of anger. It's his own private matter, why should we bear the consequences and be forbidden to marry for the rest of our lives?"
Xu Ping always knew that his junior sister was a very opinionated and knowledgeable person, at least much better than himself. Otherwise, he would not have sent her to Baishan Academy to learn from the strengths of various schools, hoping that she could learn something from them, improve the Lihuo Sect's skills, and enable the sect to reach a higher level.
Over the years, she has indeed made outstanding contributions in this regard, raising the combat effectiveness of the Lihuo Gate to a higher level.
It can be said that in the history of Lihuo Sect, Jiang Miaoran's contribution as the sect leader can be ranked among the top three.
But what nonsense is being said now.
What about the natural truth of yin and yang of heaven and earth? How can she be so shameless!
She almost moaned, "You are so treasonous... Miaoran, you are so treasonous!"
However, she herself probably couldn't tell how much of it was indignation and how much was envy and jealousy. At least 80% of these outrageous words struck into her heart and made her feel uneasy.
If... if she could have the same courage and insight as her junior sister, if Lihuomen didn't have such rules, wouldn't she have been with Liu Yuan a long time ago?
Liu Yuan secretly thought that the time was almost right. If he continued to talk, he would be exposed. He supported Xu Ping and said to Jiang Miaoran, "Don't say anything for now. Are you going to make your senior sister faint from anger? Also, aren't you going to preside over the Fire-granting Ceremony? If you don't go, all the incense burning and bathing will be in vain."
Burn incense and bathe! Yes, as the sect leader who presides over the Fire-granting Ceremony, Junior Sister also needs to use the Flame God Incense to calm her mind!
How could she... how could she... do this?!
The last thought of grievance flashed through Xu Ping's mind, and he was so angry that his blood rushed to his heart. His eyes went dark and he fainted in Liu Yuan's arms.
Chapter 319 Come to Me Tonight
Liu Yuan reached out to catch Xu Ping, and was slightly stunned as he felt the soft body in his arms.
Liu Yuan really didn't expect that this incident would be such a huge blow to Xu Ping. A powerful man in the fusion stage actually fainted on the spot.
But if you think about it carefully, it may also be that from discovering that his apprentice might have a relationship with a wild man, to finding out that it was his old lover who came to him, and then to finding out that his old lover might be this wild man.
This series of stimulations has caused her emotions to fluctuate three times, and at this moment, she finally discovered the shocking fact that her old lover was also her junior sister's old lover.
As the saying goes, three times the limit, in the end, the strong Elder Xu was defeated by the cruel reality and fell down.
——It is really hard to imagine what her reaction would be if she found out that her ex-lover, her junior sister’s old lover, and her apprentice’s wild man were all the same person, and that the contemporary mainstays of the Lihuo Sect were all wiped out.
"Miao Ran, come over and give me a hand. Your sister might be possessed."
Liu Yuan spoke very quickly, his face turning from surprise to anxiety. He picked up Xu Ping and carried him sideways, temporarily placing him under the shade of a tree.
Although Jiang Miaoran didn't know what his relationship with her senior sister was, she saw that his behavior was not ambiguous and was worried about her senior sister's condition, so she calmed herself down, hummed, came over to support Xu Ping, and put him in a meditation position.
She used her spiritual power to investigate Xu Ping's internal condition and said thoughtfully, "Sister is now at the peak of the fusion stage. She is about to break through. Her unstable mind has caused her to get angry and her inner demon has just emerged... Fortunately, the situation is not serious. She can just sit in meditation and rest for a few hours."
Liu Yuan also assumed a meditation posture behind Xu Ping, placed his palms on her back, and sent his spiritual power to help her.
In his perception, Xu Ping's situation was indeed the same as Jiang Miaoran said. Her cultivation had reached the point where she was only a step away from reaching the Tribulation Crossing Stage.
At this time, the first accumulation of inner demon calamity occurred. No wonder such a great master would faint on the spot.
If they can successfully break through, although the Lihuo Sect cannot be said to be on par with the previous one sect, one temple, three pavilions and four families, at least it will be in a transcendent position among the six sects.
However, when Liu Yuan finished playing the plot of the demon invasion, Xu Ping was still stuck at the peak of the fusion period and did not move. It can be seen how difficult it is to break through the tribulation period, and it cannot be supported with the resources of the Lihuo Gate.
That's why Xu Ping could only keep going out to look for opportunities, and he was rarely seen for years.
Liu Yuan frowned slightly upon hearing this, then said softly, "I am here to protect Elder Xu. Aren't you going to the Fire Ceremony? Go quickly and don't waste time."
He continued to use the same name he had used to address Xu Ping when he was playing hard to get, to ensure that he would not be exposed by the name when the time came.
And for Xu Ping, this title will also be a torture and pressure on her again and again.
Liu Yuan looked up and added, "Where is Elder Xu's residence? If she hasn't woken up yet, I can take her back."
Jiang Miaoran pushed her glasses. Although the Fire-Giving Ceremony was more important right now, for some reason, she always felt uneasy when she put her senior sister and Liu Yuan together.
She hesitated and said, "Senior Sister is a woman, it's not good for you to be alone with her..."
Liu Yuan shook his head and laughed, "Miao Ran, you are not jealous of your sister, are you? Just now you asked your sister if I bullied her. You don't have to worry about it. Your sister is a great master in the fusion stage. How could I take advantage of her?
Besides, she and I have been friends for many years. When you came just now, I was still alone with her. Do you think we have a relationship? Besides, you have seen your sister's personality..."
His tone was so natural that Jiang Miaoran's face got a little hot. She felt that she had made a big deal out of nothing. She lowered her eyes and said, "That's not what I meant. It's just... I've never heard of you from Senior Sister."
Liu Yuan said: "I met her when I was traveling. At that time, her name was Xu Shibing, not Xu Ping. It's normal that you haven't heard of her."
Jiang Miaoran nodded. She knew that her senior sister did have the habit of separating the identity she pretended to be in public from her real identity, so she no longer doubted him.
She pointed out Xu Ping's residence to Liu Yuan, pursed her lips and said, "Take good care of Senior Sister. It was wrong of me to make her angry this time... But I said, I won't regret it."
The short little girl held the book with a serious look on her face and a determined gaze. It seemed that she was planning to have a protracted battle to make her senior sister accept her relationship.
Liu Yuan sighed and smiled bitterly: "Why are you doing this?"
Jiang Miaoran snorted softly, leaned forward and whispered in his ear: "Pretend, Senior Sister just said that you can't refuse, men love face, otherwise with your personality, I don't believe you can control yourself."
Liu Yuan wanted to refute, but she moved closer, almost touching his ear. The soft touch of her lips immediately silenced him.
She said in a barely audible voice, as soft as a mosquito: "My yard is next to my senior sister's. Come and see me tonight."
After the young leader of the Lihuo Sect said this boldly, his face turned red, and he turned around and left quickly.
Liu Yuan stood there in a daze. He only breathed a sigh of relief when Jiang Miaoran's figure disappeared into the clouds. However, his heart was still beating fast.
At the same time, he also felt a little tingling on his scalp. He closed his eyes and helped Xu Ping regulate her breathing. When he felt that she had stabilized a little and was no longer in danger, he let go of his hand, stood up and picked up Xu Ping horizontally.
"What's this called..."
Liu Yuan sighed in his heart and lowered his head to look at Elder Xu who was sleeping with a beautiful face.
This risky move of his not only disrupted the original situation and interrupted Xu Ping's attack CD, but also created a more dangerous situation.
Now he not only has to guard against Xu Ping discovering his relationship with Wei Feiluan, but also has to guard against Jiang Miaoran knowing his relationship with Xu Ping.
In this four-corner relationship.
In Xu Ping's view, she was a victim who was forced to have a relationship with Jiang Miaoran, her junior sister was the paranoid who would do anything to get him, and Wei Feiluan's suspicion had now been temporarily cleared.
In Jiang Miaoran's view, he was the infatuated man who came to Lihuomen to seek answers because he had discovered her identity. He and Xu Ping had been friends for many years, so he took the initiative to find her and talk to her, but unfortunately he was caught by the young master.
Xu Ping opposed the marriage because of family rules and had nothing to do with other matters, while Wei Feiluan was kept in the dark for the time being and was an irrelevant passerby.
How to maintain the balance and reconcile the conflict between Xu Ping and Jiang Miaoran has become the biggest problem at present.
At this moment, Liu Yuan thought that the only two things he could be thankful for were—
The first is that Xu Ping is sensitive about her reputation and has a strong sense of dignity. She would never openly admit her relationship with Liu Yuan, not to mention that they had conflicts and rifts before. Therefore, the possibility of exposing it verbally in front of Jiang Miaoran is relatively small.
The second is that Wei Feiluan is temporarily in an invisible stage in this four-corner relationship and is not in danger.
But this little pervert just likes to do little tricks under our noses. If he were to be discovered, the consequences would be disastrous.
But the excitement is real.
Chapter 320 If You Don't Want To, I Will Reject Her
Liu Yuan opened the door sideways and walked into the house holding the woman in his arms.
Then he closed the door.
He looked around Elder Xu's "boudoir". The furnishings around it were very exquisite. There was a wooden screen carved with the Three Friends of Winter, a table in the middle, and several stools. All of them were beautifully decorated and made of high-quality materials that had some benefits for cultivation, such as gathering fire-attributed spiritual energy.
There were calligraphy and painting decorations hanging on the walls, and on the desk there was a long sword with a scabbard. Inlaid on the sword was a fiery red gem, which was obviously a high-level spiritual object with fire attributes.
Bead curtains were hanging down and tulle was hung on hooks on both sides. The chaise longue was on the outer left side, while the large carved bed was in the middle of the inner side against the wall. There was even a soft, snow-white blanket on the floor.
Compared with the simplicity and plainness of Wei Feiluan's room, Xu Ping's entire courtyard and room layout appear very "luxurious".
However, this does not mean that Xu Ping "abused" Wei Feiluan, but that as an inner disciple, Wei Feiluan had to live in the standard courtyard for inner disciples.
She was frugal by nature and lived like an ascetic, so it was natural that her room looked very "poor".
As the headmaster's senior sister, Xu Ping has a high seniority and is very dignified in her daily life. Liu Yuan now feels that Wei Feiluan learned her cold and solemn appearance from her, and is actually a little pervert who likes to seek excitement.
Her residence represents the reputation of the sect to a certain extent, and she occasionally has to receive high-level people from various sects, so it is inevitable that it is luxurious.
Even if she didn't want it, some people in the sect who wanted to curry favor with her would help her arrange it.
Although this place is exquisite and the air is filled with the smell of incense, which makes people feel pleasing to the eye, it is not popular at all. I think it is because Xu Ping is away from home all year round and does not live here very often, so it seems a bit deserted.
Liu Yuan took two steps at a time, walked around the screen, and placed Xu Ping on the chaise longue nearby.
Xu Ping had regained some consciousness by this time. She frowned slightly, her beautiful face wrinkled into a ball, with three parts of struggle and seven parts of confusion. She seemed to be still immersed in the "nightmare" just now, looking particularly pitiful.
As the instigator, Liu Yuan felt a little guilty. He reached out to undo her bun, took out the lacquered red hairpin and put it aside, then laid Elder Xu flat on the chaise longue.
Xu Ping has a very aggressive beauty, but when she falls asleep quietly, she also has a sense of tranquility, gentleness and fragility.
She lay on her back on the ink-colored chaise longue, her black hair flowing freely, her crimson gauze dress disheveled, the cheongsam she wore outlined her graceful curves, her loose snow-white gauze pants rolled up, revealing a pair of delicate and slender ankles.
The snow-white ankle has an alluring pink hue against the ink-black backdrop, and the thin green veins beneath the soft skin look like cracks on carefully carved jade.
The stunningly handsome elder of the Lihuo Sect was lying quietly and defenselessly in front of him. His skin was even whiter than before, and his skin was even darker than before, with a beauty that was difficult to describe with a brush.
Liu Yuan was jealous and reached out to gently take off Xu Ping's soft-soled embroidered shoes. The pair of beautiful feet was just as charming as he imagined, with delicate toes, shiny toes, and nails with a hint of flesh-pink.
He thought that although he said he wanted to step on Elder Xu, in fact, being stepped on by a pair of feet like this would probably be a pleasure.
Probably the biggest benefit after traveling through time is that for these immortal cultivators, the higher their level of cultivation, the more perfect their bodies will become. For people like Ling Yao and Xu Ping in the fusion stage, there are almost no flaws at all.
Liu Yuan's movements were a little bigger, which startled Xu Ping into waking up. With her eyes half open, she began to mumble, "Um... Junior Sister, this won't work. He, he's mine..."
Before he could finish his words, he met Liu Yuan's gaze.
Xu Ping's face flushed instantly, and she finally regained consciousness. Suddenly, she felt something strange. She looked down and saw that her foot was held in Liu Yuan's hand. She let out a cry, quickly pulled her foot back, and curled up like a kitten that didn't want anyone to hold its paw.
But there was only so much space on the chaise longue, and Elder Xu was huddled in the corner looking pitiful, and she didn't seem to have moved far enough away. Instead, it made people want to pull her out by her ankles and see how panicked she was.
Liu Yuan hid the evil thoughts in his heart, coughed twice, and said, "You fainted just now. Miaoran is going to preside over the Fire-Giving Ceremony, so I took you back to the room first."
Xu Ping was still immersed in the remaining touch on her feet. She was flustered and realized that this was her room, which made her even more embarrassed.
Isn't this equivalent to letting him in?
Liu Yuan said softly, "Your inner demon suddenly appeared. I could only help you sort out your chaotic internal energy. It would be safer for you to check it again."
Xu Ping said with a straight face: "Do I need to hold my feet to regulate my internal energy?"
When she is panicking, she likes to hide it with a straight face, which is the same as the character Xu Shibing she plays.
Liu Yuan said seriously: "Of course not."
Xu Ping said angrily: "Then you are still...still like this?!"
Obviously, obviously he was already with his junior sister... and he was doing such ambiguous things with her and even teasing her... The most hateful thing was that she couldn't help but feel her heart beating wildly a few times just now.
Liu Yuan looked at the blush on her face and smiled secretly, "I just think Elder Xu's pair of jade feet are plump and thin, beautiful and exquisite, and I can't help it. It has nothing to do with regulating the internal energy."
Xu Ping was embarrassed to see that he was being serious. She was both happy and angry. She said angrily, "You can't help yourself, and she can't help herself either. What do you want from me?"
