244: Chapter 244 Lin Ran emerges from seclusion, having fully established her authority as the Empress!

These women were none other than Yan Ruyu, Li Huayin, Xia Lingshuang, Meng Qing, Xuan Zhixue, Ye Mingyue, and Cang Yunrou!

In front of them, Su Xiyue sat in the pavilion, while Meng Qing respectfully poured tea for her.

"Are all of the Rebellious Disciple's Dao Companions here?"

Su Xiyue took a sip of the divine tea and said leisurely and comfortably.

After being nourished by Lin Ran's love, her complexion was clearly better, and she was even more charming.

"Replying to Sister Su, everyone is here." Meng Qing said respectfully.

The other women looked at each other, feeling a bit dizzy.

Why did they feel that Su Xiyue had gathered them here to let Lin Ran take a look at them?!

Su Xiyue was observing them to see if they were qualified to be Lin Ran's Dao Companion?!

But there was nothing to be done about that; who told Su Xiyue to be the Main Palace?

Besides, even a proud woman like Meng Qing was willing to bow down to Su Xiyue's Main Palace dignity, so how could they dare to offend Su Xiyue's dignity?

"Little sisters, no need to be constrained. Today, I summoned you all here just to chat and get to know each other."

Seeing Xia Lingshuang and the others looking constrained and at a loss, Su Xiyue smiled calmly and waved her hand.

But from beginning to end, she placed herself in absolute control. Her words implied to the women that she was the only harem, the only supreme one in Lin Ran's heart.

If the other women were honest and did not have the extravagant hope of fighting for favor with her, then she would naturally call them sisters.

But if they dared to violate her current bottom line, although she was not a narrow-minded person and would not go to Lin Ran to make things difficult for others, she could still manage to have no contact with them.

Having offended this Main Palace, which woman could still get a good account from Lin Ran?

Receiving Su Xiyue's signal, the women dared to sit down.

Today, for this harem meeting, Su Xiyue had only two goals: one was the chat she mentioned, and the second was to completely establish her Main Palace dignity!

Just subduing Meng Qing alone was not enough; she wanted to make all later arrivals afraid to offend her, the Main Palace!

Her bottom line was just that; she also knew that Lin Ran would protect this final bottom line with her.

This harem meeting was very lively and heated.

Su Xiyue had principles, but she was also sensible, gentle, and understood people's hearts, not overbearing or spoiled.

Talking to her would not put too much pressure on them.

Even Xuan Zhixue, Cang Yunrou, and others who had never met Su Xiyue before gradually relaxed.

The women all knew Su Xiyue's purpose in gathering them, which was nothing more than to establish her authority.

But this was normal. After all, Su Xiyue was Lin Ran's first woman and also his Revered Master, so her supreme status was justifiable, and establishing authority was nothing.

And all the women knew that Su Xiyue was just establishing authority to guard her final bottom line.

They could fight for favor among themselves; Su Xiyue would not care.

But they must never fight for favor with Su Xiyue because they had to know their place and follow the rules!

The women had a tacit understanding of this, all silently maintaining Su Xiyue's bottom line.

Maintaining Su Xiyue was maintaining Lin Ran.

They were Lin Ran's women, not his enemies, so naturally, they had to take good care of Lin Ran.

If they offended Su Xiyue, they would be unable to establish themselves, and they would also make Lin Ran embarrassed and fall into a dilemma. This was completely harming others and themselves.

They were not sweet and innocent fools who would do such stupid things.

"Boom!"

Just as Su Xiyue was talking happily with the group of women, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted in the mansion.

"This is... the aura of the Quasi-Emperor Realm!? Has Lin Ran stepped into the Quasi-Emperor Realm!?"

Xia Lingshuang stood up in surprise and quickly looked toward the mansion.

The Quasi-Emperor Realm and the Supreme Realm were completely different concepts!

In the current era, countless Prodigies might have stepped into the Supreme Realm.

However, a young Prodigy who could step into the Quasi-Emperor Realm was unheard of; at least, no such news had been released yet.

If there were no accidents, Lin Ran was the first peerless Prodigy in this era to step into the Quasi-Emperor Realm!

"Great! When Revered Master was in the Sun Venerable Realm, he could kill a Great Emperor Expert! Now that he has stepped into the Quasi-Emperor Realm, wouldn't he see Great Emperors as ants!?"

Xuan Zhixue was so excited that her delicate body was trembling.

"Killed a Great Emperor in the Sun Venerable Realm? Zhixue, when did this happen?" Li Huayin asked curiously.

At that time in the Heavenly Sword Secret Treasury, she did not see Lin Ran easily kill the Clan Chief of the Netherworld Serpent Tiger Clan, so she was completely unaware of this matter.

The other women were also full of shock and looked over quickly.

Even Su Xiyue could not help but look over; she was becoming increasingly unable to fathom the strength of her Rebellious Disciple.

Xuan Zhixue glanced at Su Xiyue and the others, then recounted the day Lin Ran killed the Clan Chief of the Netherworld Serpent Tiger Clan.

After hearing about Lin Ran's battle record, the women widened their eyes, their delicate hands covering their lips, their faces full of disbelief.

With the cultivation of the Sun Venerable Realm Ninth Heaven, to kill a Great Emperor Expert in the Great Emperor Realm Ninth Heaven, such a heaven-shaking feat, in this world today, only Lin Ran could do it, right!?

Dare to ask in this world, what other young Prodigy could compare to Lin Ran!?

At the same time, in the mansion, a terrifying Fate Qi surged out like a roaring tide.

Immediately after, chaos divine thunder and towering Sword Qi intertwined, bursting out violently, as if to destroy everything in the world.

But not long after, the Fate Qi, chaos divine thunder, and Sword Qi disappeared one after another.

As a figure slowly walked into the courtyard, the eyes of the women were all attracted to him.

He was still dressed in peerless white, his face better than an immortal, his skin seemingly carved from immortal jade.

His transcendent temperament seemed to transcend heaven and earth.

The charm he faintly exuded made the women uncontrollably drool.

Even Su Xiyue, who had just experienced a bitter battle with Lin Ran, felt her heart palpitate again, autumn ripples flowing in her beautiful eyes.

"What are you... holding a big meeting behind my back?" Lin Ran joked with a smile.

"Lin Ran!"

"Little Ranran!"

Xia Lingshuang and Yan Ruyu missed Lin Ran the most. They stood up, wanting to go forward and hug Lin Ran, but their peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the calm Su Xiyue on the side, so they immediately suppressed the excitement in their hearts and sat back down.

The Main Palace was here; they could not overstep.

"Rebellious Disciple, finished Cultivating?"

A meaningful, satisfied smile appeared on the corner of Su Xiyue's mouth as she stood up to welcome Lin Ran.

Lin Ran took her into his arms and whispered: "Yes, finished Cultivating. Disciple's strength has greatly increased this time; it should be able to make Revered Master cry for longer."
