This is the martial arts world, what are you cultivators interfering in?

Chapter 319 Little Love Song

It was late at night. Inside Elder Deng's villa, where he lived alone, Li Lan's parents had already retired for the night. Li Lan, calm and composed, was reading some of Elder Deng's treasured ancient books in the study.

A faint wisp of smoke drifted in, colorless and odorless, yet it made people drowsy. Li Lan, who was reading, also seemed to feel sleepy. The book in her hand fell directly onto the table, and she slumped onto the desk, as if she was about to fall asleep.

"Wake up... wake up..."

At that moment, a soft murmur sounded in her ear. Li Lan looked up and saw that there was now a masked man in the study, his eyes burning like two lamps.

"Tell me, what kind of immortal technique did you obtain on Mount Hua in your early years... Speak it out, don't be afraid, don't hesitate..."

The man's words were like the wind and mist, yet they went straight to the heart, making people subconsciously confess everything.

"That is a cultivation method. The dimensions of the immortal path lie in the four cardinal directions. Once the four cardinal directions are opened, the five internal organs will be enlightened..."

Li Lan, like a puppet, recited the mental techniques he held in his heart one by one.

The man nodded repeatedly, and after a long while, he had finished reciting Li Lan's passage.

"Very good, very good. Eat this and sleep peacefully. When you wake up, it will all just be a dream..."

He walked up to Li Lan and handed her a pill. Li Lan took it blankly and was about to swallow it.

"do not want!"

But at that moment, a woman's anxious voice rang out, and a burst of spiritual energy shot out, knocking the pill out of Li Lan's hand!

Outside the door, Xia Qingzhu rushed over and swung her palm directly at the man!

"Um?!"

The man was taken aback. He never expected that Xia Qingzhu would become a cultivator, and that her cultivation level was not low.

"court death!"

The man let out a low growl, ignoring her completely. He already had a dagger glowing with blue light in his hand, and while Li Lan was still half-awake, he stabbed at her.

His scheme had been exposed, and he planned to kill someone to silence them.

Li Lan and Xia Qingzhu are both going to die.

"Brother Li Lan!"

Xia Qingzhu was extremely anxious, but Li Lan, in his confusion, had already reflexively picked up the inkstone next to him and used it to block the dagger. The dagger did not pierce him, but Xia Qingzhu was confused by her concern and rushed towards the man without regard for anything. The man turned his hand and the dagger directly pierced her lower abdomen!

Completely oblivious, she gripped the man's arm tightly, crying out anxiously, "Brother Li Lan, wake up quickly—"

Li Lan finally woke up and suddenly stood up. Upon seeing this, the man's expression changed. He pushed Xia Qingzhu away with one hand and then jumped out of the window!

He knew that Li Lan's strength was no weaker than that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, so as soon as Li Lan woke up, he ran away, fearing that he would be entangled with him.

"Qingzhu!"

But Li Lan didn't chase after him at all; instead, she hurriedly helped Xia Qingzhu up.

Blood was gushing from her abdomen, and the dagger was glowing with a bright blue light, clearly indicating that it had been poisoned.

"Brother Li Lan...I'm alright..."

Xia Qingzhu's face was already pale, and her lips were even a little purple, but she smiled slightly and said, "It's good that you're awake..."

Li Lan felt a slight mix of emotions and said, "Don't speak, I'll heal your wounds."

Xia Qingzhu was seriously injured, and the dagger was poisoned. If it were someone else, they might really be helpless, but for Li Lan, it was nothing.

He had already placed his hand on Xia Qingzhu's back, channeling his spiritual energy to force out the venom and help her heal her wounds.

"Brother Li Lan...I think I'm about to die..."

Xia Qingzhu, affected by the poison, felt her whole body stiff and numb. She seemed to sense her impending death and said, "Don't waste...don't waste your spiritual energy. What if he comes back? You still have to protect...Uncle and Auntie..."

She spoke haltingly, and at this moment, she was actually thinking of Li Lan.

"Brother Li Lan, do you know... I've been an orphan since I was little. Grandpa is so busy, so he can't spend much time with me... My uncles and aunts... treat me very well..."

"You're great too..."

"Brother Li Lan, I have so much to say. I couldn't speak before, so I collected a lot of songs to learn and sing for you... But now I can't sing anymore..."

Tears welled in her eyes. In the final moments of her life, she couldn't help but grasp Li Lan's hand and say, "Brother Li Lan, I love you so much..."

She began to sing softly and haltingly:

"This is a... simple little love song, singing about the twists and turns of people's hearts... I think I'm very happy... when I have your warmth... the air around my feet seems to swirl."

"This is a simple little love song, singing of the white doves in our hearts..."

She sang softly, seemingly completely absorbed in the song, with only one thought in her mind: before she died... she must let her brother Li Lan hear her sing.

It was Brother Li Lan who gave her a new life; her voice was restored because of him… So, she wanted to sing for Li Lan.

Her clear and melodious singing voice reached Li Lan, who had experienced much in love with his children, and at this moment, he still couldn't help but feel his heart flutter.

Her singing became clearer and more powerful, and her voice became more and more beautiful.

"You know, even if the heavy rain turns this city upside down, I will give you a hug, I can't bear to see your back as you come..."

The song faded slowly, but suddenly, a look of confusion appeared in her eyes. She instinctively looked at Li Lan and said:

"Brother Li Lan... I... I feel like I'm a little more energetic?"

"Is it... a final burst of energy before death?"

That feeling of stiffness and numbness throughout her body had actually disappeared? She even felt her body brimming with spiritual energy, and her spirit was extremely vigorous?

what happened?

A final burst of energy before death? But why does she feel like she... like she's not going to die?

At this moment, she felt inexplicably flustered, her heart pounding like a deer's. The shyness she had abandoned because of life and death instantly enveloped the girl's heart again.

Looking at her shy and adorable appearance, Li Lan smiled slightly and said, "Yes, a final burst of energy before death."

He lowered his head and gently kissed the girl's soft lips.

……

In fact, Li Lan had already sensed the man's arrival; it was all done on purpose.

However, the man did not expect that there was now a cultivator in the villa, so he was ultimately negligent.

Despite some minor hiccups, the other party still managed to obtain his immortal techniques.

"Cultivate diligently..."

Li Lan smiled slightly.

No one knew that the immortal technique he gave to the other party was actually something he had specially created based on Bai Ruijie's cultivation method.

This is a method of reversing the traditional furnace and cauldron!

After Bai Ruijie and Yang Lianlu cultivate, they will become Li Lan's furnace without anyone noticing!

Bai Ruijie wanted to control the spirit of the artifact through Cheng Yusu, the vessel. If the spirit did not react, it would arouse their suspicion.

Therefore, Li Lan will allow the spirit of the artifact to truly undergo a certain degree of "evil transformation".

Only in this way can we lure the snake out of its hole.

Then, Li Lan used this technique to control Yang Lianlu and Bai Ruijie, thereby ensuring the safety of the artifact spirit.

Interlocking.

This plan is extremely important, and the key to its success lies in getting Yang Lianlu to practice the cultivation technique given by Li Lan without worry.

Therefore, Li Lan first revealed the existence of the immortal technique in the training camp, and then refused to reveal it when Gu Ruoxu and others inquired about it.

In the end, Yang Lianlu indeed obtained it through other means.

In this way, Yang Lianlu will not be so vigilant.

The more effort they put into obtaining something, the more they will cherish it and the more they will believe in it...

This is human nature!

Of course, Yang Lianlu and Bai Ruijie would also be unable to discover the essence of that immortal technique. After all, what level was Li Lan at? He had seen many peerless great paths and comprehended countless profound methods, reaching the realm of seeing the void. Setting a trap for them would be as easy as an old schemer dealing with elementary school students...

"Xiao Li, what's going on?"

Finally, Elder Deng returned. After Xia Qingzhu finished recounting what had happened, he looked solemn and his eyes were filled with anger!

Someone actually broke into his residence!?

Did it also hurt Xia Qingzhu?

Is this okay?

Li Lan pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know. The other party's methods are unfathomable. I only felt a little dizzy before I was already caught in their trap. Fortunately, Qingzhu woke me up in time..."

He was not prepared to tell Elder Deng the truth.

It would be good if Elder Deng were to be enraged, investigate, and make a scene.

Otherwise, if Li Lan and Elder Deng hadn't reacted to such a major event, the other party would have become suspicious.

"I will definitely investigate this to the end!"

Elder Deng was furious and said, "Not many people know that you possess immortal techniques, and even fewer have the means to enter my residence... These bastards have no shame at all!"

He spoke angrily, saying that only his own people could do this under the circumstances!

The more this happened, the angrier he became.

"By the way, Elder Deng, Qingzhu was injured while saving me. Although I have healed her, it's best to keep it a secret and let the outside world believe that she is critically injured and on the verge of death..."

Li Lan offered a reminder.

"Okay! I understand!"

Elder Deng immediately set off and convened a group meeting to investigate the matter!

……

"Go get some rest, you didn't sleep at all last night."

Xia Qingzhu walked over, looking at Li Lan with concern, and said, "You stayed up late, you need to catch up on your sleep. I heated up some milk for you, drink it before you go to sleep~~"

Li Lan took the steaming milk, drank it all in one gulp, smiled at her, and said, "Okay, I'm going to sleep."

"You should sleep too, get some rest."

"I know, you don't need to worry about me. I'll sit with Auntie and the others so they won't worry."

Xia Qingzhu spoke very sensibly, then gently hugged Li Lan and kissed her before letting her leave.

She is very clingy.

Meanwhile, on the second floor of the villa, Yun Luojin and Li Guinong looked at Li Lan and Xia Qingzhu in the lobby on the first floor and suddenly exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with smiles!

"These two kids, when did they get so fast..."

Li Guinong was puzzled.

They were all experienced people, and they could tell at a glance that Li Lan and Xia Qingzhu... were clearly in the honeymoon phase.

"Why are you asking so many questions about young people's affairs!"

Yun Luojin pinched him and laughed, "From now on, we can finally relax!"

They were extremely satisfied with Xia Qingzhu.

Li Guinong nodded, then sighed and said, "It's so good to be young."
