On the third day after the defense of Wuyi City ended, Qin Ran finally arrived in Wuyi City.
He was in the corridor, watching his silly apprentice run over from the other side, give him a hug, and hang on his body. The silly apprentice never concealed his love, just like the pure white snowflakes falling from the sky outside the corridor.
Of course, he also likes it very much and feels very satisfied. Just ask, who doesn't want a girl to like him undisguisedly, and when this girl is also someone he likes, this is one of the happiest things in the world.
"Master, why are you here?" the silly apprentice asked in his ear.
I came here because I was worried about you. Qin Ran didn't say that. He just said, "I came to take a look."
"Hehe!" Li Shiyin giggled, then she remembered something, quickly got off Qin Ran, pulled Qin Ran up, and rushed into the study room she had just come out of.
Li Shiyin took Qin Ran's hand, stood in front of Li Zhan's book, and proudly introduced him to Li Zhan loudly: "Daddy, this is my master!"
How can you be sure of your position in your partner's heart? See how she introduces you to her friends and relatives. If someone as proud as Li Shiyin is, you can know how satisfied she is with Qin Ran, and you can also know that she is confident that Qin Ran will satisfy her family.
However...how to say it?
Qin Ran was confused at this moment.
That’s right, Qin Ran is a sinister, cunning, despicable and shameless person with a very flexible moral bottom line. His mind is deeper than the Mariana Trench, but... people always have more than one side.
He is also the shy, immature, gentle master next door in Li Shiyin's memory.
Li Shiyin's perspective: On the day she became his apprentice, the master used the gentlest smile to wipe away all her fears about the world of cultivation; the first time she read the pharmacopoeia, she fell asleep on the table, and when she woke up, the bright sunlight from the window shone in, shining on the master, who was sitting quietly in the sunlight reading.
This is also Qin Ran, young, shy, gentle and delicate.
So when he had been insidiously, cunningly and shamelessly plotting against someone's daughter for four years, and now that person was facing him, he felt for the first time that his heart was dirty. He didn't dare to look the person in the eye and even wanted to turn around and run away.
It's not like he hadn't thought about encountering such a scene, but... when a son-in-law meets his father-in-law, his mentality will never be stable.
Upon hearing this, Li Zhan hurriedly put down what he was doing and stood up from behind his desk. He carefully examined the master that Li Shiyin mentioned, the legendary god-like person; the person who, according to his wife's analysis, stole his daughter's heart.
His first impression of Qin Ran was that he was handsome. He had black hair, white face, and a gentle temperament, like a well-read scholar. This was not at all what he had imagined, such as powerful, elixir, cunning, or immortal.
As for the son-in-law... compared with his shy appearance at this moment and his daughter's generous appearance, it is not clear who is the apprentice and who is the master...
Let your daughter marry him as a son-in-law!
So Li Zhan looked down on this master at first. But fortunately, he was not an ordinary person and quickly realized that this was his daughter's master. If his daughter could be so powerful, this master must be no ordinary person.
He did not rely on his status as Li Shiyin’s father. He lowered his posture, bowed to Qin Ran humbly, and said, “Greetings, Immortal!”
When Qin Ran heard Li Zhan call him an immortal, he suddenly realized his identity as a cultivator, and his heart finally calmed down. That's right, he was a cultivator, and the person in front of him was just a mortal.
"Ahem!" Qin Ran coughed dryly, but did not rely on his status as a cultivator. He returned the greeting to Li Zhan and said, "Greetings, General."
So at this point, the atmosphere of the first meeting between the future father-in-law and son-in-law seemed gentle.
Li Zhan walked out from behind the desk and said to Qin Ran with a smile, "I have heard of your name for a long time, and now I have the honor to see your true appearance... Please take a seat here, Immortal."
He motioned for Qin Ran to sit down while asking someone to prepare tea.
Qin Ran glanced at Li Shiyin beside him, calmed himself down, and sat down with Li Shiyin.
In front of her father, Li Shiyin was not too arrogant. But she was still proud and introduced Li Zhan:
"Dad, Master is the chief of Danfeng of Daojian Sect. Daojian Sect has only four peaks, and Master is the chief of one of them. Master is also the best alchemist of Daojian Sect, and he is amazing at alchemy. The elixirs we usually use are all made by Master. And... and Master knows a lot of things, Master knows everything..."
Listening to Li Shiyin praising herself and speaking well of herself in front of Li Zhan, Qin Ran felt a little embarrassed and could only smile awkwardly but politely.
"I have seen the immortal's elixir... Mr. Mo once said that the quality of the immortal's elixir should be above the fifth grade." Li Zhan said with a smile.
Qin Ran smiled and said modestly: "I just know a little about elixirs."
When the topic mentioned Master Mo, the monk who died in the battle to defend the city a few days ago, the atmosphere in the study gradually changed from awkward to gloomy.
Qin Ran looked at Li Zhan and said first: "The victory or defeat of Beichu and Xuanqin is not in Beichu and Xuanqin, but in Yuntianmen."
Seeing that Qin Ran was talking about the war, Li Zhan asked, "What do you think, Immortal?"
“General, you don’t have to call me Immortal, just call me by my name.” Qin Ran said with a smile.
Li Shiyin also nodded: "Dad, it's weird that you call Master Immortal. Master is actually only in his twenties. Master is very young."
"Haha." Li Zhan laughed tactically and said, "You don't have to call me general, just call me uncle."
Qin Ran took the opportunity to call Li Zhan "Uncle Li" and continued, "The national strength of Northern Chu and Xuan Qin was originally not much different. It was just that when the Devouring Demon Willow was in chaos, Xuan Qin suffered less losses than Northern Chu. However, this loss of national strength is not enough to make Xuan Qin want to annex Northern Chu.
“Then Emperor Xuan Qin somehow reached a deal with Yuntianmen, which is the key point of the war at this moment.
"If we can solve the cultivators of Yuntian Sect, we can solve the current predicament of Beichu."
"Then how do we deal with the monks of Yuntian Sect?" Li Zhan understood the principle, but where was the solution?
"I am currently investigating what kind of deal Xuan Qin State and Yun Tian Clan have reached..." Qin Ran said, "But Uncle Li, don't worry, leave all the matters between the cultivators to me. You only need to be responsible for the military formation."
In front of his future father-in-law, this guy's mentality was unbalanced. He took on too much responsibility and made promises, which he would never do under normal circumstances.
If Qin Ran could solve the problem of the cultivators, Li Zhan would be willing to marry Li Shiyin to him, and even Li Shiwen to him.
He couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "Then I'll trouble you!"
"But Master..." At this time, Li Shiyin suddenly raised her hand and said, "Xuan Qin is not just about Yuntian Sect!"
"Hmm?" Qin Ran's expression changed, and he quickly looked at Li Shiyin and asked, "Who else?"
"When I was fighting with the Yuntian Sect cultivators that night, I ran into people from the Wuyin Sword Sect," Li Shiyin said. "They were the two Yuanying stage cultivators we encountered in the Immortal Relics Land during the fight with the Devouring Demon Willow."
Qin Ran's face changed drastically when he heard that. He instantly knew which two people Li Shiyin was talking about. As smart as he was, he realized almost instantly that those two people were coming for him.
