Quick Transmigration: The Beautiful Host Wants to Have Both Love and Career
Chapter 421 The Love and Career of the Beautiful Immortal Venerable 4
But the sect leader had already made his decision, so he could only accept it helplessly, replying with a wry smile:
"I will follow the instructions of my senior brother, the sect leader, and all the other senior brothers and sisters."
The meeting concluded successfully, but the atmosphere in the main hall remained enthusiastic.
The group gathered in small groups, discussing the various matters of the Three Realms Grand Competition in hushed tones, before dispersing in haste, clearly eager to make ample preparations for this important contest.
Yi Feng stood still, his eyes searching anxiously through the crowd.
When he saw Ran Cang's figure, his eyes lit up and he walked quickly toward Ran Cang without waiting.
He walked up to Ran Cang, his face filled with barely suppressed anticipation and enthusiasm. A bright smile spread across his face as he greeted her loudly:
"Senior Sister Ran Cang! It's been a long time!"
I've heard that your strength has undergone a tremendous transformation since your recent training.
I've been itching to spar with you, to see how skilled you are, and to learn from your expertise to improve myself.
As Yi Feng spoke, he rubbed his hands together, his eyes gleaming with eager anticipation.
He always regarded Ran Cang as his target to catch up with. In his mind, Ran Cang was a symbol of strength, and being able to spar with her was a rare opportunity to improve.
Ran Cang stood there quietly, the hem of her clothes swaying gently in the wind, elegant and serene.
Upon hearing Yifeng's words, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a gentle smile that made people feel exceptionally warm.
She gently declined:
"Yifeng, I appreciate your kindness, and I'm really happy that you have such a positive attitude."
It's just that Master has finally emerged from seclusion, and I haven't been able to serve him by his side for a long time.
I should spend more time with him during this period and fulfill my duty as a disciple.
So let's call it a day for now. Next time, when we have the chance, I'll definitely have a proper match with you, a real good fight."
As Ran Cang spoke, his eyes seemed to be full of concern and worry for his master.
In her heart, at this moment, nothing was more important than being with her master.
Although Yi Feng was somewhat disappointed, he still nodded sensibly and said:
"Alright, senior sister, I'll wait for the next opportunity. I hope you won't go easy on me then."
After saying that, he turned and left.
As everyone left the main hall one after another, Ran Cang immediately skipped and hopped over to Sui Si's side like a happy little deer.
Her face was full of smiles, her eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and she said sweetly:
"Master, you must have had a long and arduous journey in seclusion. Your disciple has been thinking of you a lot during this time."
"Let your disciple accompany you back to Shuanghua Palace; it will be good to talk to you on the way."
As she spoke, she followed closely beside Sui Si, step by step.
Her obsequious manner seemed to be declaring to the world her respect and dependence on her master; it was practically written all over her face.
Upon returning to Shuanghua Palace, Sui Si had just sat down in the main seat when he saw Ran Cang extremely busy.
She first walked quickly to the tea table, skillfully picked up the teapot, and brewed a steaming cup of fragrant tea for Sui Si. Her movements were gentle and swift, as if she was afraid of being a second too slow.
Then, without stopping, she tidied up the seats, arranging the cushions neatly and carefully patting them to make sure there were no wrinkles.
Watching her series of actions, Sui Si couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache. He sighed inwardly, thinking:
This girl has been a clever little devil since she was a child; she never comes to the temple without a reason!
He's acting so strangely today; who knows what he might need my help with this time?
So, Sui Si pretended to be serious, put on a stern face, and said:
"Tell me, what trouble have you gotten yourself into this time?"
Stop wasting your time. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?
Between us, master and disciple, let's speak frankly and directly, without beating around the bush.
As Sui Si spoke, he subtly observed Ran Cang's expression.
Upon hearing this, Ran Cang's face flashed with embarrassment, as if someone had seen through his thoughts.
She smiled sheepishly, her eyes darting around, glancing at the ground and then out the window, and whispered:
"...Master, you are the most beautiful and kind-hearted master in the world. It's just... there's a small thing I'd like to trouble you with."
Her voice was so soft it was like a mosquito's hum. If Sui Si hadn't been highly skilled and had excellent hearing, he really wouldn't have been able to hear what she was saying.
Sui Si deliberately made his face even more serious and raised his voice:
"Speak louder, no one can hear you if you're just humming and hawing."
"Speak your mind frankly and directly. Don't beat around the bush; what kind of behavior is that?"
Sui Si's voice echoed in the hall, carrying a hint of majesty.
Ran Cang took a deep breath, as if he had made a great decision, and said in one breath:
"When my disciple went down the mountain for training, he suddenly heard a faint cry when he came to a forest."
I followed the sound and found a little fox covered in wounds.
It looked particularly pitiful, its fur stained red with blood, and its breath was extremely weak.
I couldn't bear to see it die like that, so I brought it back.
But no matter what I tried, its injury still wouldn't heal.
I'm truly at my wit's end, so I'd like to ask my master for help. Your cultivation is profound; you must have a way to save it."
After speaking, Ran Cang looked at Sui Si with an expectant expression, her eyes full of pleading, and her hands unconsciously clasped together as if she were praying silently.
Upon hearing this, Sui Si frowned and said irritably:
"Am I a veterinarian? What kind of animal do you want me to see?"
You silly girl, of all the things you could save, you had to bring back a fox.
This fox's origins are unknown; who knows if there's anything wrong with it.
Sui Si looked helpless, but he was also curious.
This girl is usually so carefree, how come she suddenly had a change of heart and saved a fox, and is even taking it so seriously?
Ran Cang quickly explained, his face showing some worry, and his speech becoming much faster:
"I'm just worried that the little fox might have some injuries that I haven't noticed."
It looked so pitiful at the time; I would have felt terrible if I had just stood by and watched it die.
Besides, although we are currently living in peace with the demon race, there are always a few bad apples stirring things up and trying to sabotage this peace.
I'm just worried that the fox might have some ulterior motives, deceive me, and cause trouble in the Qingyun Sect. In that case, I would have done more harm than good and caused trouble for the sect.
Therefore, I still need to rely on you, Master, to help me vet this fox and see if there's anything wrong with it.
Ran Cang spoke eloquently and logically, her eyes filled with sincerity and concern, leaving no room for doubt about her good intentions.
Sui Si raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this, and said with a hint of surprise:
"...You still have this awareness?"
I thought you were just kind-hearted and brought it back on impulse without thinking too much about it.
It seems you've really grown a lot from your recent experience traveling down the mountain.
Sui Si's eyes revealed a hint of relief as he looked at his sensible apprentice, his heart filled with emotion.
Ran Cang scratched his face sheepishly and chuckled:
"Ahem, Master, look at what you're saying. I am your disciple, and I remember all your teachings."
I know that as a disciple of the Qingyun Sect, every word and action concerns the honor of the sect, so naturally I must be careful.
As Ran Cang spoke, he ingratiatingly massaged Sui Si's shoulders. Although his technique was somewhat clumsy, his attitude was sincere.
Sui Si waved his hand helplessly, his serious expression gradually replaced by resignation, and said:
"Alright, alright, stop arguing. Bring that fox over here so I can take a look."
"I really can't do anything with you. What can I do? You're my only apprentice."
Sui Si's tone was full of amusement and affection.
Upon hearing this, Ran Cang became as excited as a gust of wind, running outside while shouting:
"Yes, sir. I'll be right back."
"Master, please wait a moment. I'll bring the little fox right away. You must save it!"
Watching Ran Cang's hurried departure, Sui Si smiled and shook his head, muttering to himself:
"Still as boisterous as ever, hasn't changed at all. But that's the real her."
