294: Chapter 294 Obtaining the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra and Leaving Ningxiang Tower

Although the Flower Warrior was puzzled, he still opened the door for Lin Ran.

"Snap!"

A barbed iron whip lashed out swiftly, its Divine Sense stained with mottled bloodstains.

The iron whip did not strike the Flower Warrior, but instead struck the wall beside him.

Even so, the violent Aura still scared the Flower Warrior enough to make him leak a few drops of urine.

"Did this Tower Master not say that when I am training these little dogs, none of you are allowed to disturb me?!"

Tower Master Yu Ruchun's voice was like a sharp sword tempered in ice, seemingly piercing through the Flower Warrior's knees.

The Flower Warrior was terrified, kneeling down with a thud in anxious panic, and trembling, he said:

"Tower... Tower Master, it is walker Lin requesting to see you!"

"What?! Little Beauty wants to see me?! Could it be that he has figured things out?!"

"No, I cannot let Little Beauty see me in this current state!"

"Little Beauty, wait for me to lock up this little dog, and then I will come out to see you!"

Tower Master Yu Ruchun's anger turned to joy, yet he appeared quite flustered.

After tidying himself up, Tower Master Yu Ruchun hurriedly appeared and cast a flirtatious glance at Lin Ran:

"Little Beauty, have you finally decided to become my Flower Warrior King?"

Lin Ran rolled his eyes at him: "If nothing unexpected happens, I will never be the Flower Warrior King of Ningxiang Tower in this lifetime."

"Hehe, Little Beauty, don't speak so absolutely."

"A lifetime is very long; who can say for sure what might happen during it?"

"Alright Little Beauty, come, let me guess. Since you didn't come to see me for the matter of the Flower Warrior King, then presumably it is for the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra?"

"Does this mean you have already refined that jade goddess flower?"

Tower Master Yu Ruchun guessed with a chuckle.

Lin Ran nodded without hiding anything:

"I wonder if the Tower Master could impart the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra to me? This kindness and favor, this walker will keep in mind and will definitely repay in the future."

"In the future? When exactly is that? Will it be later, or right now?"

Tower Master Yu Ruchun licked his crimson lips, his eyes filled with deep greed.

Seeing Lin Ran's face suddenly darken, he hurriedly gave a sheepish smile:

"Hehe, Little Beauty really can't take a joke. I will impart the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra to you."

After saying this, he pointed his finger at the center of Lin Ran's forehead, imparting the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra to him.

Lin Ran fell silent, silently contemplating the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra in his heart.

The Jade Maiden Heart Sutra was indeed worthy of being the treasure of Ningxiang Tower; among all the Mind-Cultivation Techniques in the world, it could be considered a rather excellent method.

With the help of the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, Lin Ran could indeed quickly improve his mental Realm.

Lin Ran nodded slightly and cupped his hands in a salute to Tower Master Yu Ruchun:

"Many thanks to the Tower Master for bestowing this technique. Great kindness needs no thanks! In the... in the future, whenever the Tower Master is in trouble, this walker will come quickly!"

"Very well, then I shall take Little Beauty at his word. I hope that my Ningxiang Tower can form a lasting alliance with you."

Tower Master Yu Ruchun chuckled.

He was naturally deep and calculating. If he directly stated that Ningxiang Tower wanted to form a lasting alliance with the Kunlun Sect, it would undoubtedly have the flavor of fawning over the Kunlun Sect.

But if he formed a lasting alliance with Lin Ran, it would mean becoming Lin Ran's backer, thereby following the vine to get the melon and eventually befriending the Kunlun Sect.

After all, Lin Ran was a World Walker for the Kunlun Sect; befriending Lin Ran meant befriending the Kunlun Sect, which held no downsides for their Ningxiang Tower.

Moreover, as the saying goes, adding flowers to brocade is not as good as sending charcoal in snowy weather.

The Kunlun Sect was already the largest force in White Jade Capital; befriending them would merely be adding flowers to brocade.

But Lin Ran was different. Although he was a World Walker for the Kunlun Sect, the Kunlun Sect was not his; it was merely his backer.

For Lin Ran, this young Prodigy who had come up from the Zhangming Emperor Realm, what he needed most right now was undoubtedly a backer and a loyal, reliable ally.

For their Ningxiang Tower to befriend Lin Ran at this moment was truly sending charcoal in snowy weather!

"I share that wish."

Lin Ran smiled and cupped his hands.

"Additionally, Tower Master, the flowers have been admired, the wine has been drunk, and my Senior Martial Uncle and I should be heading back."

Tower Master Yu Ruchun's expression changed slightly, a trace of reluctance flashing across his face:

"Leaving so soon? The Immortal Spirit Strange Pool flowers bloom at noon and wither at midnight."

"When ten thousand flowers bloom together, it is a magnificent sight of a prosperous age."

"When ten thousand flowers wither together, it is also a stunningly mournful scene."

"Why not stay until midnight and see the ten thousand flowers wither together with your own eyes before leaving?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ran muttered inwardly.

Why the hell wouldn't I leave before midnight?

Who exactly is the reason he is in such a rush to leave right now?!

Does Tower Master Yu Ruchun really have no self-awareness at all?!

After coming to this Ningxiang Tower, he had kept his butt clenched the whole time, not even daring to fart—who the hell was that because of?!

In any case, he didn't dare, nor did he want to continue staying here.

Better to let Tower Master Yu Ruchun train Cang Huan in peace...

"Since I have already taken in the magnificent sight of the ten thousand flowers blooming together, why go and witness the stunningly mournful scene and add to the sorrow in vain?"

"Encounters and partings in this world should be frozen at their most beautiful moments."

"Tower Master Yu Ruchun, until we meet again!"

After saying this, Lin Ran left with a smile to find the slightly tipsy Jiang Yunxian.

Tower Master Yu Ruchun's eyes deepened slightly, lost in thought.

After pondering for a long time, he chose to turn and close the door; the end of Cang Huan was about to strike again!

"Little Linzi, why are you leaving so soon? This Senior Martial Uncle hasn't slacked off enough; I still wanted to stay with you until midnight, finish watching the scene of the ten thousand flowers withering, and then leave~"

Perhaps because she had opened her heart, the slightly tipsy Jiang Yunxian no longer maintained an elusive, hot-and-cold attitude in front of Lin Ran, but was instead as passionate as fire, nestling in Lin Ran's arms and acting like a spoiled child.

"Senior Martial Uncle, when we saw the magnificent sight of the ten thousand flowers blooming together, how did you feel in your heart?"

Lin Ran gently smoothed the hair by Jiang Yunxian's temples and smiled.

"Naturally, it was refreshing, as if I were floating like an immortal!"

Jiang Yunxian chuckled.

"Then, Senior Martial Uncle, imagine this: if we stayed until midnight and witnessed that stunningly mournful scene of the ten thousand flowers withering, what mood would you be in then?"

The somewhat befuddled Jiang Yunxian actually began to think seriously, and then said: "My heart would be twisted like a knife!"

"Exactly! Since seeing the scene of the ten thousand flowers withering would make you feel heartbroken, why go and watch it? We can just freeze our memories of this place at their most beautiful moment, wouldn't that be fine?"

"Besides, if you feel heartbroken, my heart will also ache for you, Senior Martial Uncle."

Lin Ran kissed Jiang Yunxian's cheek lightly, his tone gentle.

"Hmph, Little Linzi, you still have the sweetest mouth!"

Jiang Yunxian laughed, like a little girl who had received candy, her heart and eyes filled with nothing but Lin Ran at this moment.

"Let's go, Senior Martial Uncle, we are heading back."

Lin Ran scooped Jiang Yunxian up into his arms, extended the Cloud-Chasing Moon-Pursuing Divine Wings behind him, and flew toward the Kunlun Sect.

"It's truly unreasonable; clearly, I am the Sect Leader of the Kunlun Sect, it should be me carrying you back to the Kunlun Sect!"

"If those old fogeys from the Kunlun Sect saw this, how would they view me in the future?"

Although she said that, Jiang Yunxian quietly nestled in Lin Ran's arms, her eyes slightly narrowed in comfort.
