Filial piety: the supreme emperor

In the room, a beautiful and charming young woman was sitting at the table, with her hands supported behind her back. Her plump, white legs in beige stockings were crossed together, showing an elegant and charming posture.

Her cute little lotus feet rested on the palm of her beloved little disciple, caressing him gently like a spring breeze, helping him relieve his tiredness.

At this moment, Lu Ran's fingers were caressing each smooth toe through the ice silk stockings as thin as a cicada's wing. The toes painted with light pink nail polish were shining with charming and seductive glow like rubies in the haze.

From her slender, white legs to her rosy and shiny instep and arch, an extremely tight and soft line is reflected.

The flesh-colored stockings of this beautiful young woman exuded a warm and soft scent, accompanied by her unique rich fragrance, which made Lu Ran calm and focused.

At this time, he quickened the pace of reviewing documents and quickly flipped through the jade slips one by one.

Suddenly, another lotus foot, also wrapped in silk stockings as thin as a cicada's wing, stretched out, as if it had found the source of fatigue, and it gently soothed it with its soft, warm sole.

"Ran'er, what do you think about the sect wanting to buy a Lingsu Crane as a mount?"

While helping her little apprentice relieve fatigue, she stretched out her slender hands and placed them on her legs, supporting her smooth jade-like chin, slightly bending her graceful waist, slightly opening her red lips, and exhaling a sweet breath full of temptation.

She also held a jade slip in her hand, on which was written information about the Spirit Beast Garden.

[The Spiritual Beast Garden plans to purchase 200 Spiritual Cranes for the inner disciples to control. Please approve it, Sect Master! ]

"Hmm~ Compared to the past, our sect is indeed much more financially capable now, but we still need to be frugal and not squander like this."

When Lu Ran heard this, his body trembled, and for some reason his breathing became a little rapid, but he still answered seriously.

The Lingsu Crane is a flying beast with an ethereal and ethereal air. It is extremely fast and is loved by many female monks.

Compared to the most common magic boat, the Lingsuhe is undoubtedly in an advantageous position, being much superior in both grade and temperament.

However, the Lingsu crane, which has so many advantages, is naturally very expensive.

"So, Ran'er, what do you mean?" Ning Qian half-closed her eyes, her lotus feet that seemed to be covered with a layer of hazy like a cicada's wings, just like a butterfly, interpreting the light beauty of spinning and jumping.

Lu Ran raised his eyebrows, feeling a little less tired, he whispered: "Why not reduce the purchase quantity to 100!"

"In addition, we have set up a ranking list of inner disciples within the sect. Only the top 100 disciples are eligible to obtain the Lingfu Crane."

"Moreover, the disciples with higher rankings will have the priority to choose the new batch of magical instruments in the treasure pavilion."

"This way, we can save money and stimulate the desire for competition among the disciples."

He knew that for a sect, the importance of competition was self-evident. Only competition could inspire the disciples to strive, allowing them to practice harder and contribute to the sect.

"Then do as Yi Er said!"

Ning Qian smiled sweetly, and with her slender hands she held the pen, changing the number of 200 Lingsu cranes originally written on the jade slip to 100, and then she approved it.

As if she remembered something, she looked at her beloved disciple and asked, "Ran'er, what about you?"

Lu Ran smiled and said, "I'm not used to riding a crane. I think flying with a sword is more suitable."

As a sword cultivator, why would I need a Lingsuhe?

To borrow the words of the Drunken Swordsman in "Xian San" -

Ride the sword with the wind to eliminate demons between heaven and earth!

Just from this one sentence, one can see the sword cultivator's carefree and easygoing nature.

"In that case, let's forget it!"

"Come to think of it, Ran'er already has a master, so why would he need a Lingfuhe?"

Ning Qian nodded and smiled, with a hint of cunning in her beautiful eyes. She increased the strength of her steps to better help Lu Ran relieve his fatigue.

What does this mean?

Lu Ran didn't figure it out for a moment.

But when he met his master's cunning gaze, he immediately reacted and his face suddenly turned dark.

It turned out that the master was hinting that he should ride on "the master" to disrespect his ancestors!

But this is absolutely false!

As a filial disciple, he has always been strict with himself and abided by filial piety. How could he possibly do something like riding his "master" and disrespecting his ancestors?

It should be the other way around!

What should it be called?

It's called "challenging the disciple and rebelling against the master"!

"Ran'er, why are you breathing a little fast?"

"Is it because the fatigue hasn't subsided yet?"

At this moment, Ning Qian asked with a concerned look on her face, and at the same time, her soft and boneless hand gently stroked the head of her beloved disciple.

A beautiful image of five butterflies dancing among the flowers appeared in Lu Ran's mind. He gritted his teeth and replied, "It hasn't completely subsided yet."

"Don't be impatient, take your time~"

Ning Qian leaned over, gently kissed his lips with her beautiful red lips, and whispered comforting words to him.

Lu Ran nodded, continued to suppress his "fatigue", and concentrated on reviewing the jade slip.

Ning Qian, with a smile on her face, gently helped Lu Ran relieve his fatigue while continuing to review the jade slip in her hand.

As the saying goes, when master and apprentice are of one mind, they can cut through metal!

The candlelight in the pavilion flickered, and the rustling sound of the wind could be heard from time to time. The master and his apprentice, the man farming and the woman weaving, cooperated tacitly and handled various matters quickly.

Before long, the mountain of jade slips had almost been cleared away by them.

"call……"

After a while, Lu Ran let out a long sigh and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

Somehow, after finishing these internal affairs, the dizzying fatigue he had felt before was relieved.

Perhaps it was due to Master’s comfort, or perhaps it was due to the satisfaction that comes from working hard.

Inside the pavilion, candles flickered faintly.

“Huff…Huff…”

The spring breeze blew in gently, causing the shadows of the two candles on the wall to overlap and sway with the wind, entangled with each other, like a painting.

When it is midnight tonight, the severe winter will be over and spring will officially arrive.

As if to herald the end of winter and the coming of spring, a moist and fine spring rain quietly falls.

This rain slowly dispelled the breath of cold winter and brought new vitality to all things.

Under the baptism of spring rain, the two willow trees outside the pavilion shed the cold frost, regained their vitality, and became more lush and graceful.

The breeze blew gently, the spring rain fell softly, and the branches of the two willow trees swayed happily, snuggling closely together.

Drops of spring rain fell on the willow branches and leaves, as if they were covered with a layer of transparent crystal gauze, making them look particularly bright and beautiful.

"Tick...tick..."

The rain was sometimes heavy and sometimes light. Raindrops continuously sprinkled all over the Hundred Flowers Valley, like pearls of all sizes falling into a jade plate, making a noisy and pleasant sound.

Two willow trees closely dependent on each other sway constantly, exuding the vitality and lingering charm of early spring.

……

In the pavilion, the light of the candles was still flickering.

A mature and charming beauty leaned on the shoulder of her beloved apprentice, her eyes soft and charming, and her beautiful eyes were filled with watery emotions and charm.

"Ran'er, the master is here to test you."

"What would you do if someone accidentally caught you in this cruel world of cultivating immortals?"

There seemed to be a hint of tenderness and trembling in her words, which made people's hearts ripple.

A warm breath filled his nose, soft and fragrant. Lu Ran pondered for a moment, calmed his inner fluctuations, and replied in a low voice:

"In the first case, if the opponent is too strong, you should stay calm, pretend to be submissive, and use this as a pretext to find the opponent's flaws and look for opportunities to counterattack."

"In the second case, if the strength of both sides is not much different, then we must act with lightning speed and drastic measures to try to defeat the enemy in one move."

"If you can't defeat the enemy with one strike, use all the cards you can to keep exerting pressure and not give the opponent a chance to catch his breath and counterattack."

Judging from his personality, he may be more inclined to adopt the second strategy.

After all, things are unpredictable. Who can guarantee that there will be no accidents in the next moment?

"Ran'er did a great job!"

"I have not let down my master's careful instruction and selfless teaching over the years."

Ning Qian smiled charmingly, not hiding her admiration at all. She raised her delicate head, wrapped her pretty white arms around Lu Ran's neck, and kissed his lips with her rosy and plump lips as a reward.

After a while, the two separated.

Ning Qian continued to lead the question-and-answer game, and said with her red lips slightly parted:

"Ran'er has now reached the perfect stage of the supernatural realm. As long as his state of mind and perception of the outside world reach perfection, he will naturally be promoted to the king realm!"

"And during the cultivation process, if you find that some of your insights go against your path of cultivation, how will you respond?"

This is obviously a problem regarding Lu Ran’s current situation, and this problem does exist.

Lu Ran thought for a while, and while practicing his magical powers, he replied: "Every inch has its own strengths and weaknesses."

“Only through comparison can you know which method is more suitable for you.”

“Or you can combine the two, discard the dross, absorb the essence, and constantly integrate it into your own path of practice to make it more substantial and complete.”

In fact, he knew in his heart that although it was easy to say, it was difficult to do in practice.

It's like walking on a winding and rugged mountain road, sometimes facing cliffs, and sometimes encountering many difficulties from the outside world.

Only by persevering and moving forward courageously can you climb to the top of the mountain, where you can see the beautiful scenery above the clouds and appreciate the scenery below the mountain.

"Hmm~ It seems that Ran'er has understood the path to the King Realm."

Ning Qian gently hugged Lu Ran's head, letting him lean in her warm embrace, revealing her satisfaction as a master.

At the same time, her delicate fingers picked up a plump and juicy red fruit and brought it to Lu Ran's lips as a further reward.

Lu Ran felt a strong fragrance coming towards him and couldn't help but open his mouth.

Naturally, he would not refuse the reward from his master.

As I said before - a gift cannot be refused, and to refuse it would be disrespectful.

For Lu Ran, who majored in filial piety and etiquette, he would definitely not do such a disrespectful thing.

Seeing how greedy he was, Ning Qian picked up another red fruit to quench his thirst, and then asked:

"Let me ask you a third question. If Ran'er accidentally breaks into a confusing and mysterious world while exploring the secret realm, and his cultivation is suppressed, what should you do?"

Lu Ran frowned and thought seriously.

A confusing and mysterious world where cultivation is suppressed?

I have been on the path of cultivation for sixteen years. During these years, I have indeed seen many different secret realms and faced many difficulties.

Although I have never encountered a situation like the one described by the master, I cannot rule out the possibility that similar things will happen in the future.
