Chapter 329: Meeting the Parents
On the third day after the defense battle of Wuyi City ended, Qin Ran finally arrived at Wuyi City.
He was on the porch, watching the silly apprentice dart over there to give him a hug and hang on to him. The silly apprentice’s fondness was never concealed, like pure white snowflakes falling from the sky outside the porch.
Of course, he liked it too, and his heart was satisfied. Just ask, who wouldn’t want a girl to unabashedly like them, when that girl is still one he likes too. It was one of the happiest things in the world.
“What brings you here, Master?” The foolish apprentice asked in his ear.
Worried about you, so I came. Qin Ran didn’t say that, he said, “I came over to take a look.”
“Hee hee!” Li Shiyin let out a giggle, then she remembered something and hurriedly got off of Qin Ran, pulling him up as she rushed in towards the study she had just come out of.
Li Shiyin took Qin Ran’s hand and stood in front of Li Zhan’s Shuan, proudly introducing Li Zhan loudly, “Father, this is my master!”
What are the circumstances that define your place in the mind of the person you’re with? See how she introduces you to her friends and relatives. To a proud one like Li Shiyin, you can tell how satisfied she is with Qin Ran and how confident she is that he will make her family happy.
Yet what does …… say?
Qin Ran was confused at this point.
Yes, Qin Ran, this person, sinister and cunning, despicable and shameless, has a very flexible moral bottom line, and his heart is deeper than the Mariana Trench, but …… people always have more than one side.
He was at the same time the same, shy, youthful, gentle big brother next door general master that Li Shiyin remembered.
Li Shiyin’s perspective: the day she worshipped her master, he brushed away all her fears about the world of cultivation with the gentlest of smiles; the first time she read the pharmacopoeia, she fell asleep on the table, and when she woke up, bright sunlight shone in through the window and shone down on her master, who sat quietly in the sunlight and read a book.
This is also Qin Ran, green, shy, gentle and delicate.
So when he had been deviously and shamelessly plotting against other people’s daughters for four years, and now that they were face-to-face with him, for the first time, he felt so dirty inside that he didn’t dare to face people head-on, and even wanted to turn around and run away.
It s not that he didn t think he would encounter such a scene, but …… when a son-in-law meets his old husband, that kind of mentality can t be smooth by any stretch of the imagination.
Upon hearing this, Li Zhan hurriedly put down the matter at hand and stood up from behind the bookcase. He scrutinized what Li Shiyin had said about her master, the legendary god-like person; the person who, according to his wife’s analysis, had stolen his daughter’s heart.
His first impression of Qin Ran was that of a clean-cut man. Black hair and white face, soft temperament, as if a well-read scholar. This was not related to any of the words he expected such as powerful, potion, city, divine, and so on.
As for the son-in-law …… his shy appearance at this time compared to his own daughter’s generous appearance, who is the disciple and who is the master is not yet certain ……
Let your own daughter marry him as a flunky!
So Li Zhan’s first moment was somewhat underestimating this master. But fortunately he is not an ordinary person, and quickly reacted. This is the daughter master, his own daughter can be that powerful, this master is certainly not mortal.
He didn’t rely on his status as Li Shiyin’s father to lower his posture and humbly bowed to Qin Ran, saying, “Greetings, Supreme Immortal!”
When he heard Li Zhan call himself Shang Xian, Qin Ran suddenly realized his identity as a cultivator, and his heart then stabilized. Right, he was a cultivator and the opposite side was just a mortal.
“Cough!” Qin Ran coughed dryly, but did not rely on his status as a cultivator, and returned a salute with Li Zhan, saying “Greetings, General.”
Thus, the atmosphere at the first meeting of the “son-in-laws-to-be” was mild.
Li war came out from behind the book case, and Qin Ran smiled, “Long heard the name of the immortal long, Fang now only have the honor to see the true face …… immortal long also please sit this side.”
He signaled Qin Ran to sit down while having tea prepared.
Qin Ran looked at Li Shiyin on the side, and settled down again, joining Li Shiyin, sitting down smoothly.
In front of her own old man, Li Shiyin was still not too arrogant after all. However, she was still complacent and introduced Li Zhan to him:
“Dad, master is the first seat of the Dan Peak of the Daojian Sect Oh, the Daojian Sect has only four peaks, and master is the first seat of the Dan Peak among them. Then master is the first alchemist of Dao Jian Sect, alchemy can be powerful. We generally use the elixir are master refining. Then …… then, master knows things also much, master knows everything ……”
Listening to Li Shiyin praising herself and putting in a good word for herself in front of Li Zhan, Qin Ran was still more or less embarrassed, and only smiled awkwardly but not impolitely.
“Immortal elder’s pills, old man has seen …… Elder Mo once said that Immortal elder’s alchemy grade, when it is above the fifth grade.” Li Zhan laughed.
Qin Ran laughed and said modestly, “I am only slightly knowledgeable about pills.”
When the topic mentioned Elder Mo, the cultivator who had sacrificed his life in the city defense battle the other day, the atmosphere in the study slowly changed from awkward to low.
Qin Ran looked at Li Zhan and was the first to say, “The point of victory or defeat between Northern Chu and Xuan Qin is actually not in Northern Chu or Xuan Qin, but in the Cloud Sky Sect.”
Seeing that Qin Ran chatted about the war, Li Zhan asked in passing, “What does Immortal Master have in mind?”
“General doesn’t need to call me Immortal Leader, just call me by my name.” Qin Ran laughed.
Li Shiyin also nodded her head, “Father it’s strange for you to call Master Immortal, Master is actually only in his twenties, Master is very young.”
“Haha.” Li Battle gave a tactical laugh and also said, “You don’t have to call me a general either, just call me uncle.”
Qin Ran then obediently called Li Zhan a Li uncle, and then continued: “North Chu and Xuan Qin’s national strength, originally is not a big difference, but is the Devouring Pole Demon Willow rebellion, Xuan Qin’s loss is smaller than the North Chu only. But this loss of national strength is not enough for Xuan Qin to raise the heart of annexing Northern Chu.
“That Emperor Xuan Qin has somehow struck a deal with the Cloud Sky Sect, which is the key point of the war at this time.
“By resolving the cultivators of the Cloud Sky Sect, we will be able to resolve the current predicament in Northern Chu.”
“Then how are we going to solve the Cloud Sky Sect’s cultivators?” Li Zhan understood the reasoning, but what about the solution?
“I’m currently investigating what kind of deal the Xuan Qin Kingdom and the Cloud Heavenly Sect have made ……,” Qin Ran said, “But don’t worry, Uncle Li, the matters between the cultivators are all left to me to solve. You only need to be in charge of the military formation side.”
In front of his prospective old husband, this guy was still mentally unbalanced in the end, making big promises and patting his chest, something that he would never do in his normal state.
If Qin Ran could solve the cultivator’s problem, Li Zhan, not to mention marrying Li Shiyin to him, it would be a good idea to marry Li Shiwen to him as well.
He could not help but rejoice, saying, “Then I will trouble Xian …… you!”
“But Master ……” At this time, Li Shiyin suddenly raised her hand and spoke, “It’s not just the Cloud Sky Sect on Xuan Qin’s side hey!”
“Hm?” Qin Ran’s complexion changed as he hurriedly looked at Li Shiyin and asked, “Who else is there?”
“When I was fighting with the Cloud Sky Sect cultivators that night, I ran into people from the Boundless Sword Sect.” Li Shiyin said, “They’re the two YuanYing Stages we met in the Immortal Legacy Land that time at the Devouring Extreme Demon Willow.”
Qin Ran’s face changed drastically as he instantly knew which two people Li Shiyin was talking about. And as smart as he was, he realized almost instantly that those two people were coming at him.
