"In the half-month since Ye Ran arrived here, due to the loss of his cultivation base, he hasn't even had a good night's sleep. This time, it finally returned to normal, and he felt relaxed. It was a very restful sleep.
"Holy Son, wake up." A soft voice rang in his ears, and Ye Ran opened his eyes dimly. He saw a pretty girl standing by the bed, holding his clothes in her hands.
"Holy Son, it's time to get up and have breakfast," the girl whispered.
Her name is Ah Qin. She was originally the noble daughter of the Shen family, but because she offended the Ye family, the whole family was annexed by the Ye family. She became Ye Ran's maid. Even when he came to Youluo Temple, Ye Ran always took her by his side, taking care of his diet and daily life.
It's not because he likes her. On the contrary, Ah Qin was mistreated by him; Ye Ran would beat or scold her. If it weren't for the fact that the sect forbids relationships between men and women, she might not even be able to keep her dignity. The reason he kept her was that she was an obedient servant.
"Ah, Qin deserves to die; please punish her!" Ye Ran's stern gaze frightened Ah Qin, and she quickly knelt. Seeing the unhealed scars on her body, Ye Ran couldn't help but shake his head. She was such a beautiful girl; how could he have done such things before?
"You didn't do anything wrong, so you don't need to apologize to me," Ye Ran said.
Ah Qin panicked even more when she heard this and immediately kowtowed, her body trembling constantly, obviously terrified.
Ye Ran sighed. "Old habits die hard. The psychological shadow from all those years can't be changed overnight. Moreover, a sudden change in temperament will inevitably arouse suspicion from others. The best way is to maintain the status quo. We can only take it slow."
"Get up and help me get dressed," he said lightly.
"Yes."
Ah Qin stood up and skillfully helped Ye Ran put on his clothes. He was dressed in a pure white brocade robe, with a silver hollow border exposed inside the robe. At the waist was a white jade belt, and a piece of transparent jadeite hung on it. He looked handsome and noble, just like an elegant young man.
Ah Qin looked at him unblinkingly.
"Does it look good?" Ye Ran asked.
Ah Qin nodded seriously. "Master Holy Son looks the best!"
"Puff…" Ye Ran couldn't help but laugh, reaching out to pinch her small face. "You have good taste."
After speaking, he got up and left. The room fell silent.
Ah Qin covered her cheeks and opened her mouth slightly, her eyes full of disbelief. She stood like a statue for a long time. "
...
After breakfast, Ye Ran wandered around with his hands behind his back. With the existence of "Duo Tian Gong," he could practice anytime and anywhere, and he didn't need to meditate at all. He felt a sense of panic.
"Son."
"I have seen the Holy Son."
All the disciples he met along the way greeted him respectfully. Ye Ran remained expressionless and indifferent.
"Master Holy Son!"
At this time, there was a coquettish cry from behind. Ye Ran turned his head and saw a pretty girl standing behind him, her eyes forming crescent moons.
"Little junior sister?" Ye Ran frowned. Yesterday's misunderstanding had been caused by this person, and he believed this person should bear the main responsibility.
Lu Xinran smiled and said, "Good morning, Master Holy Son. I haven't seen you for a day. You seem even more handsome."
"And what do you want to say?" Ye Ran said it coldly. "It's early in the morning; if you're not going to practice, what are you doing here?"
Lu Xinran was already used to this attitude and said with a smile, "My lord, my cultivation has progressed very fast. Now I'm at the late stage of Qi refining, and even Elder Sun says I'm a little genius!"
The tone was that of seeking praise.
"None of my concern..." Before Ye Ran could speak, a reminder suddenly sounded in his mind.
[Mission released.]
[Please point out the problems in the practice of the little junior sister and offer help so that she can make progress.]
[The quality of the reward depends on the completion of the task!]
Ye Ran's heart skipped a beat. Yesterday's reward had given him a taste of the sweetness, so he wouldn't pass up this task.
"It's easy to give advice, but making progress is not as simple. This is not something that can be solved in a few words."
"Moreover, helping others isn't in line with my personality."
"It seems I have to think of another way..." Ye Ran's mind turned, and he had already made a plan.
...
"Master, Holy Son?" Lu Xinran was still waiting for his praise.
"A genius? Oh, you deserve it too," he sneered.
Lu Xinran pouted her lips, a little unconvinced. "Elder Sun said it himself. He mentioned that I have great talent and a high affinity for the Sect Cultivation Technique. My future achievements will be significant."
"Talent..." Ye Ran shook his head and said with his hands behind his back, "Are you sixteen years old this year? At your age, I had already started attacking the Gold Core Realm. You're still at the Qi refining stage, and you haven't even completed the foundation establishment."
"Such poor talent; daring to call yourself a genius in front of me?"
"It's ridiculous!" Ye Ran's indifferent voice was as cold as winter.
The disciples on the side couldn't help but shiver.
It was the style of the Holy Son—merciless!
Lu Xinran's small mouth deflated, and tears filled her big eyes.
Ye Ran was expressionless. "Aren't you convinced?"
Lu Xinran bit her lip, bowed her head, and said nothing.
"Forget it, then I'll give you a chance to prove yourself."
"How do I prove it?" Lu Xinran raised her head.
"Fight with me," Ye Ran said casually.
"Ah?!" Lu Xinran was dumbfounded. "
