42: Chapter 42 Yan Ruyu's Explanation, Nanfeng's Intention

After returning to the Sect, he would surely spend his first moments clinging to his beloved Master Baby, so naturally, the opportunities for Yan Ruyu to make a move on him would be much fewer.

Now, Su Xiyue is in seclusion to Cultivate, and he is out traveling.

It could be said that this period is the best time for Yan Ruyu to secretly make a move on him.

However, in this "hunt," who is the hunter and who is the prey is truly hard to say...

Yan Ruyu is a powerhouse in the Quasi-Emperor Realm, so her speed was naturally incredibly fast, and before long, she brought Lin Ran into Snow City.

Within Snow City, there is an ancient peak covered in snow all year round. It is said that a powerful expert who specialized in the Dao of Snow once Cultivated here in seclusion. The aura of the Dao of Snow surrounding them invisibly radiated outwards, influencing the entire ancient peak, and subsequently affecting the entire Snow City.

The scenery here is very beautiful, breathtakingly so. The world is presented in a vast expanse of white, but the few other colors that peek through quietly embellish it, preventing this beauty from appearing monotonous.

Large, goose-feather-like snowflakes fell slowly, covering a few strands of Yan Ruyu and Lin Ran's hair, and covering their shoulders.

"Little Ranran, do you know why Sect Master Nan Feng wanted to hand over all nine supreme grade spirit veins to you?"

"After all, the purpose of this trip for you and Li Zhenwu and the others was to compete for supreme grade spirit veins for the Sect, not to compete for them for yourself."

"Logically speaking, Sect Master Nan Feng should not have given the nine supreme grade spirit veins to you, don't you think?"

Yan Ruyu gently brushed the snowflakes from Lin Ran's hair and asked with a charming smile.

"Please enlighten me, Martial Aunt."

Lin Ran said with a smile.

"It's very simple, because the Sect Master already intends to establish you as the Saint of this generation of the Feixian Sect."

"Just think, you possess the Destiny Immortal Body; your natural talent goes without saying. This is the strongest Special Physique under heaven. With you here, the other true Disciples won't be able to stir up any waves."

"Moreover, the current strongest person in our Feixian Sect, who is the Third Ancestor slumbering on Destiny Peak, also awakened because of you, and backed you up by striking Xu Yu into the Heavenly Abyss."

"The Third Ancestor has shown his attitude: he trusts you and protects you regardless of everything."

"With your invincible talent, invincible Physique, and the invincible background of having the Third Ancestor behind you, the position of Saint for this generation of our Feixian Sect belongs to no one but you."

"However, having just these is not enough. This only represents that you are already the designated Saint; the Sect Master's vision is not limited to this."

"It is not that you can become a true Saint just because you can suppress the other true Disciples, but rather, only when you receive the wholehearted support of these true Disciples as well as all the Disciples and Elders can you be considered a true Saint."

"Little Ranran, just wait and see. After we return to the Sect, the Sect Master will definitely summon you, me, and all the other Peak Masters and Vice Peak Masters currently in the Sect together."

"As for what it is for, I believe there is no need for Martial Aunt to explain, Little Ranran, you should already know, right?"

Yan Ruyu chuckled happily as she gently pinched Lin Ran's cheek, a brilliant light flashing in the depths of her eyes.

Hearing this, Lin Ran finally truly understood the well-intentioned efforts of Nan Feng.

Sect Master Nan Feng is helping him build his momentum!

Nan Feng seemingly handed over the nine supreme grade spirit veins to him and let him handle them.

But in reality, these nine supreme grade spirit veins were only temporarily deposited with him, and sooner or later, he would have to "spit" them out.

After all, the purpose of his trip was to compete for supreme grade spirit veins for the Sect; it was for the Sect!

It is just that Nan Feng has a long-term vision; even if he is to eventually "spit" out the nine supreme grade spirit veins, it must be "spit" out with value!

The nine supreme grade spirit veins, through his hands, in front of all the Peak Masters and Vice Peak Masters, will be equally distributed to the nine major peaks.

One must ask, how will those Peak Masters and Vice Peak Masters view him?!

One must ask, when all the Disciples and Elders of the entire Feixian Sect know about this, how will they view him?

I fear his prestige will rise with the tide within the Feixian Sect!

Nan Feng does not just want him to become the Saint; the other party's vision is even more long-term—he wants him to become a Saint supported by everyone!

Thinking of this, Lin Ran's eyes became slightly moist.

Since he Transmigrated into the Zhangming Emperor Realm and met Su Xiyue, the only place he has considered home is the residence where he lived with Su Xiyue.

Su Xiyue was very good to him; even knowing that he was unlikely to Awaken a Special Physique and was an indisputable waste at Cultivation, she still consistently insisted on teaching him.

And since he Awakened the Destiny Immortal Body and startled the Third Ancestor, the entire Feixian Sect seems to have "leaned in" towards him.

One must know that before this, the Feixian Sect would not have focused on him; one could even say the level of attention was zero.

If not for him being Su Xiyue's Disciple, I fear zero people in the entire Feixian Sect would have paid attention to him.

He knows this is very realistic and very blatant, but as it happens, he is a realistic person.

After all, if he were the Sect Master of the Feixian Sect, he would not focus on a waste at Cultivation either.

But now, since the Feixian Sect has chosen to believe in him and is unconditionally cultivating him vigorously, then he is also willing to treat the Feixian Sect as his own home and defend the honor of the Sect to the death!

"Little Ranran, are you already so moved that you're about to shed tears?"

Looking at Lin Ran, whose eyes were slightly moist, Yan Ruyu could not help but tease him with a smile, holding him tightly in her arms.

"No, the wind was a bit strong just now and blew some sand into my eyes..."

"Liar, there is only snow here; the sand has all been covered up."

Lin Ran: ...

Yan Ruyu covered her mouth and chuckled, pulled Lin Ran's hand, and walked away with long strides, casually pointing forward: "Little Ranran, look!"

Lin Ran looked in the direction her finger was pointing.

From where they were standing, they could take in the entire scene of Snow City at a glance.

The lights of ten thousand homes were lush and flourishing, adding endless vitality to this vast expanse of white.

"Of the lights of ten thousand homes in this world, if there is one for me, that would be enough."

Yan Ruyu looked at the lights of ten thousand homes below the mountain and said infatuatedly.

Lin Ran imperceptibly and quietly took hold of Yan Ruyu's hand, interlocking his fingers with hers.

"Martial Aunt, my light will always be reserved for you."

His voice was very soft, but filled with firmness.

This seemed like a trivial vow, but it was like an iron brand, deeply imprinted on Yan Ruyu's heart.

She turned her head to look at Lin Ran, and squeezed her right hand, which was interlocked with his, tightly again and again.

She pursed her lips, and the corners of her eyes became moist and red.

Whether she was in You Prefecture or Yun Prefecture, this was the first vow of this kind that she had heard a man make for her so far.

The sea of her heart was flooding and surging, and her heartbeat was like war drums beating.

Her ears were buzzing, leaving only the sound of her heartbeat.

Is Lin Ran... indirectly confessing to her?!

"Martial Aunt, why are you already so moved that you're about to shed tears?"

Lin Ran fought back a little with a faint smile.

"The wind is strong, and the raised sand blew into my eyes."

"Liar, beneath our feet is a ten-thousand-foot cliff, where would there be sand?"

"Can't it be blown up from below the cliff?! Little Ranran, if you tear down your Martial Aunt's stage again, believe it or not, I will throw you down?!"

Lin Ran: ...

Fine, fine, fine!

Since she won't let him fight back a little now, when night comes, he will surely catch Yan Ruyu and give her a massive payback!
