A disciple of the Tianxuan Sect was practicing sword control in the sky when he happened to see Ling Haoran lying naked on the ground, crying and laughing. He was so frightened that he almost fell off his sword.
He immediately went to report to the old sect leader that Senior Brother Haoran had gone mad.
Upon hearing this, the old sect leader quickly lifted the restrictions on Biyun Peak and ordered his men to bring Ling Haoran out.
Ling Haoran knelt before the old sect leader, his previous sense of superiority gone. He was now filled with fear of this world and dared not regard the people in it as paper dolls anymore.
Seeing that Ling Haoran's cultivation had not improved at all, and that he had lost all his energy and spirit, trembling and shrinking back in fear, the old sect leader was immediately furious.
"You bastard, what have you been doing all these years? You're utterly hopeless!" the old sect leader cursed angrily.
He slammed his hand on the table, intending to beat him up and then lock him up in solitary confinement, when suddenly shouts came from outside the door, a sound of surprise and excitement.
"Go quickly and report to the sect leader that the two young ladies have returned."
Are Ah Zhen and Ah Ran, those two girls, back?
The old man's face lit up with joy. He no longer cared about scolding Ling Haoran and got up to stride towards the door.
Ling Haoran stood there, stunned, then overjoyed.
The opportunity has arrived; he can finally leave this world.
On the way here, he discussed with the system that they had to escape this world as soon as possible and abandon this plane.
I've been here for almost ten years, and my mission progress is still at 0. Not only have I not gained any benefits, but I've also exhausted all the luck points I accumulated in the previous worlds.
It can be said that they lost everything.
They decided to head straight to the next dimension to recoup their losses as quickly as possible, otherwise they wouldn't be able to explain themselves to their superiors.
If they stayed any longer, he had a premonition that their fate would be terrible.
However, traveling between dimensions requires the protagonist's luck as a medium, so he must seize an opportunity from Ye Ran and raise enough travel expenses.
Judging by the time, other opportunities have already arisen, and those further away will have to wait for decades. The biggest and most important opportunity in the entire book will be in three days.
That was the Sword Trial Tournament of the Tianxuan Sect.
At the conference, the heroine Ye Ran's exclusive weapon—the Moon Cry Sword—will be unveiled.
Ling Haoran suppressed his excitement and hurriedly got up to follow the old sect leader outside.
The old man watched as his two granddaughters leaped down from the sword; one was charming and sweet, the other cold and heroic. He couldn't stop smiling.
He strode forward, grabbed one in each hand, and grinned from ear to ear.
"Ah Zhen, Ah Ran, you two heartless little devils, you've finally deigned to come back and see this old man."
Qi An smiled and said sweetly, "Because I missed Grandpa."
The old sect leader was completely bewildered by Qi An's flattery, and looked at Fu Gui with anticipation.
Fugui was still as cheeky as ever: "We were out of money, so we came back."
The old man's face fell.
Qi An glanced over, and Fu Gui forced himself to change his tune: "I... I miss you a little bit, just a little bit."
The old man was easy to please and didn't ask for much; just this one sentence made him happy again.
"Good, good. It just so happens that our Tianxuan Sect's Sword Trial Tournament is in three days. Grandpa was just wondering where to look for you. It's good that you're back. It's good that you're back."
Qi An helped the old man up and said with a smile, "Grandpa, don't worry, we will definitely win first place and bring you glory."
"Alright, this old man is just waiting to see what you've got."
Qi An and Fu Gui chatted and laughed with the old sect leader, acting as if they didn't even see Ling Haoran following closely behind him.
Ling Haoran looked at Ye Ran with amazement. He never expected that the dirty little kid who looked like a bean sprout would grow up to be such a stunning beauty.
His heart fluttered, and he couldn't help but fantasize about what it would be like if Ye Ran became his furnace...
The system immediately sensed the terrifying aura emanating from Ye Ran and understood Ling Haoran's thoughts, promptly warning him not to court death.
[Host, stop! Don't forget our plan. Do you still want to go to the eighteenth level of hell?]
Ling Haoran jolted awake, snapping out of his lewd daze and withdrawing his gaze.
He was really looking forward to Ye Ran taking the initiative to greet him, but she ignored him completely.
Ling Haoran was furious. Women have no conscience. He used to treat Ye Ran so well.
He was filled with resentment, but completely forgot why he had been so good to Ye Ran in the past.
Seeing that Ye Ran was ignoring him, he had no choice but to step forward, adopt a gentle and refined demeanor, and tease her:
"Ranran, it's been a long time! You've grown into a beautiful young woman. Brother Ling has missed you a lot these past years."
The old sect leader frowned, and Fu Gui stepped forward to block Qi An, pointing at Ling Haoran's nose and saying:
"You pervert! You're the one who calls me Ranran! Take your eyes off Ranran, or I'll gouge them out."
Ling Haoran's face turned ashen. This little mad dog has grown even crazier. How come he still remembers this grudge from so long ago?
Qi An gently pushed Fu Gui aside and comforted him, "Alright, Ah Zhen, Brother Ling meant well, don't be so rude."
After saying that, he walked closer to Ling Haoran and said with a smile, "Thank you for remembering me, Brother Ling. I have never forgotten how kind you were to me when I was a child."
As he got closer, that face became even more alluring, but Ling Haoran dared not harbor the slightest thought of disrespect.
For some reason, he felt a tremor run through him, as if he were being watched by some terrifying beast, ready to pounce and deliver a fatal blow at any moment.
But when he looked again, the girl was smiling at him, saying words of gratitude, innocent and naive.
Ling Haoran suppressed his fear and said as naturally as possible, "Cough, it was nothing, you don't need to remember it. It was Brother Ling who brought you back, so it's only right that I treat you well."
"No, I still remember what Brother Ling said before, telling me to remember it well and repay you properly when I grow up."
Ling Haoran said awkwardly, "Brother Ling was just joking with you. You don't need to repay me. As long as you're doing well, Brother Ling will be very happy. My master taught me that you should not expect anything in return for your kindness."
The old man snorted coldly, but his expression softened a bit.
Fu Gui and Ata both gagged simultaneously.
"Tsk tsk, look at that little mouth, so fluent with words, it's like an old sow wearing a bra, one phrase after another, Ata, you little blockhead, hurry up and learn from others."
Ata jumped up and down: "You're the idiot! You can wear a bra if you want, I'm not wearing one."
"You little idiot, can't you even understand human language?"
"You poor wretch, how dare you call me a moron? One of us has to die today, so where do you want to be buried?"
"Oh, then you'd better jump higher, otherwise you won't be able to hit me. Also, I want to bury myself in Sister An'an's heart, hehe."
"Aaaaah, you shameless bastard, I'm going to kill you!"
"Shut up, all of you! You're asking for it again. If you want a beating, just say so." Qi An said with a dark face.
The sea of consciousness finally quieted down, and the two little chicks, one looking more obedient than the other, began a silent battle, attempting to kill each other with their eyes.
Qi An said to the old sect leader, "Please, Grandfather, for A Ran's sake, allow Brother Ling to participate in the sword-testing competition three days from now. Consider it A Ran's way of repaying Brother Ling's childhood kindness."
It's like my wish came true.
Ling Haoran was overjoyed and quickly looked at the old sect leader.
