When Will They Get Married?

Xiao Ran carried his Master on his back as they walked slowly along the lakeside path amidst the fireworks, as if experiencing countless sunrises and sunsets, unable to distinguish whether time was slowing down or speeding up.

The crowd by the lake automatically parted to make way, all staring in astonishment at the violent master and apprentice.

Violence refers to Lingzhou Yue.

The hero refers to Xiao Ran.

No one expected that Lingzhou Yue, who was so arrogant and unreasonable, would be sleeping like a child on her disciple's back.

I must say, this shrew is actually quite pretty when she's not beating people up...

Look closely, it's not just pretty, it's even prettier than Xuan Mozi!

This reminds many people of Lingzhou Yue, who was once known as the most beautiful woman in the Cultivation World when she first entered the Academy. Although her reputation was later ruined by her terrible personality, her good looks remained...

This is a good deal for the young man, Xiao Ran.

Some people said that they saw Xiao Ran hug Xuan Mozi just now. Although it was to catch Xiao Mozi and prevent her from getting hurt, the posture was too ambiguous.

At this point, someone else mentioned seeing Xiao Ran and the prodigy Murong Yu enter the city together in the evening.

How come all the top beauties of the True Spirit Continent are inextricably linked to him?

What's Xiao Ran's background?

Her luck with romance is just too good!

Xiao Ran also noticed the envious looks in the eyes of passersby.

Perhaps this is one of the perks of time travelers...

Keep walking forward.

Master is already asleep.

The Gamble Stone stall owner finally fell from the sky, thankful that he had been flung into the air by Lingzhou Yue instead of being crushed to the ground and losing face as a Golden Core cultivator.

The owner of the Wife Cake gestured to Xiao Ran from afar, accompanied by a meaningful smile, as if to say, "My cakes work fast, don't they?" The stall owner making jade puppets, seeing Xiao Ran carrying his Master walking in the firelight, quickly took out his soft jade and sculpted this moment...

The old fortune-telling beggar has already packed up and left.

When Xiao Ran walked out of Lake Ring Street, dozens of family guards from the Dao Alliance Headquarters set up a roadblock with the Dao Alliance Sword Cloud Emblem at the street exit and were checking passersby.

It seems someone reported that the Master was hitting civilians...

But why were the Chaos City or the Law Enforcer of the Dao Alliance sent instead of the aristocratic family guards of the Dao Alliance Headquarters? Just as Xiao Ran was wondering, a golden official ship pulled by flying horses descended from the night sky.

This old-fashioned Flying Horse Immortal Boat represents supreme glory, and only the Four Great Families of the Dao Alliance Headquarters are qualified to ride in it.

Two people stepped out of the golden Immortal Boat.

One of them was a middle-aged man dressed in an indigo robe. He was not tall, rather thin, with dark eyes and Cultivation Level of the Spirit Severing Realm. He was clearly a master of practical combat.

The middle-aged man in black robes bowed and lifted the curtain of the Flying Horse Immortal Boat.

A portly middle-aged man emerged from the crowd, panting heavily.

Cultivation Level the Golden Core Realm of cultivation, tall and with a large belly. He wore a blue robe with gold trim and the early Black Flag Alliance Emblem of the Dao Alliance printed on his chest.

He was born with fair and tender skin, and his face shape was somewhat similar to the squid from Plants vs. Zombies. He had greasy hair and a chubby face, yet he exuded a dignified and imposing aura.

Upon disembarking, his expression was both cold and shrewish, making one feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

"The Temple Fair in Chaos City is really lively. Can you move the whole lake to my backyard? I can set off fireworks for you every day. It's so beautiful."

One sentence reveals either arrogance or low intelligence.

Xiao Ran then remembered that his master's wife had previously told him to be careful of the young master of the Nanmen Family Four Great Families great families, and to avoid any conflict with him...

Even Spirit Severing Realm expert could only serve as his personal bodyguard, which shows how noble this person's status is.

As for why the descendants of aristocratic families always become playboys, Xiao Ran can understand it.

The genes of the strong are diluted over generations and will eventually mutate and deteriorate, which cannot be remedied by education. If they are also spoiled by an overindulgent mother, they will become spoiled brats.

The black-robed guard quickly whispered in someone's ear:

"Young Master, please be mindful of your status. You are the inspector for this Heaven's Chosen Assembly. You came here after receiving a report that someone was engaging in large-scale violence against civilians at the Temple Fair."

Young Master Nanmen surveyed the area with his hands on his hips, exuding an imposing aura without anger, and said:

Who did it?

The black-robed guard hurriedly said:

"None of the whistleblowers dared to mention the perpetrator's name, so he must be a powerful figure."

Young Master Nanmen smiled.

"Strongers? The Dao Alliance targets strongers! We want to dampen the arrogance of these so-called strongmen and let them know what a law-based cultivation society is."

What a law-abiding society for cultivators! Arresting people is hardly something the guards of the Four Great Families should be doing!

"Stop."

Xiao Ran had just quietly passed the test of the formation when he was stopped by Young Master Nanmen.

"What's wrong with this person? He doesn't even acknowledge me when I'm here..."

The black-robed guard quickly whispered in his ear, "Young master, times have changed. You must restrain your official arrogance."

With his hands behind his back and chest puffed out, the young Young Master Nanmen, feigning diligence and concern for the people, asked Xiao Ran, "Who just attacked the people?"

Xiao Ran stopped in his tracks and made no attempt to hide anything.

"He is my Master."

Who is your Master?

"Lingzhou Yue."

That name sounds familiar...

Just as Young Master Nanmen was pondering this, the black-robed guard secretly reminded him that Lingzhou Yue was a hero of Flamefree City and one of the former Dao Alliance's prodigies.

"Even heroes of Flamefree City cannot commit violence against ordinary people. Where is your Master now? Send her to North Hanging City immediately to give a statement!"

North Hanging City is the location of the northern teleportation array of Chaos City.

The east, west, and south sides of Chaos City are just teleportation fortresses, but to the north there is a Dao Alliance East Floating City, which is specifically responsible for the Dao Alliance work in the Chaos City area.

Xiao Ran calmly said, "My Master is right behind me. Is there something you need?"

Upon closer inspection, the black-robed guard realized that the woman on the young man's back was indeed Lingzhou Yue.

Can this kid turn invisible? He didn't even realize Lingzhou Yue was there.

"Are you Xiao Ran, the prodigy of this year's competition?"

The black-robed guard asked coldly.

Xiao Ran nodded.

"It's me."

Young Master Nanmen glanced at Xiao Ran from head to toe and immediately burst out laughing.

"Haha, this kid is really at the Qi Refining, and he's only in his twenties... If I had known he could pull this off, I would have joined the Dao Alliance as a prodigy for a while... I heard there's a beauty named Murong Yu among this year's prodigies..."

The black-robed guard hurriedly reminded him secretly:

"Shh, your current role is that of an inspector at the Heaven's Chosen Assembly."

Young Master Nanmen was overjoyed, his joy evident in his words.

"Yeah, that makes things even more convenient, Murong Yu, hehe."

Xiao Ran was too lazy to say another word to this kind of person.

Is there anything else?

The black-robed guard said in a low voice, "It's alright, you can go now."

Xiao Ran stepped out and returned to Peacock Street, still able to hear the conversation behind him.

Young Master Nanmen was heavily pregnant.

"Isn't that Lingzhou Yue? Why did you let the murderer go?"

The black-robed guard said, "Lingzhou Yue is capricious and cannot be judged by common sense. Let's hand her over to the Xing Tian Pavilion of our department."

"You're both at the Spirit Severing Cultivation Level, so you can't possibly be no match for this Lingzhou Yue?"

"Didn't you come to see Xuan Mozi? There's no need to complicate things. Just maintain the image of someone who loves his people. She's on the island in the middle of the lake ahead. Young master, try to be gentle and witty..."

"She's just a songstress, who has that much time to spare? You help me sort her out."

"This..."

Are these the descendants of the Four Great Families? Xiao Ran walked further and further away, too lazy to listen anymore.

No wonder the Dao Alliance is now dominated by the younger generation, while the older generation is practically rotten to the core.

Times have changed drastically, and these people who relied on their "get-out-of-jail-free card" didn't have many good days left.

But the question is, why did the Dao Alliance send such an ignorant and incompetent playboy to oversee the Heaven's Chosen Assembly? Considering his master's wife's advice not to clash with this young master from the South Gate.

Xiao Ran suddenly had a guess.

If a conflict were to break out, given Master's volatile temper, he might just grind someone to dust.

The Dao Alliance, on the other hand, went with the flow, killing two birds with one stone. First, it eliminated the old forces of the Dao Alliance, and second, it brought the Master to justice, bringing him back to the Dao Alliance Headquarters for a symbolic punishment. In reality, it forced the Master to serve the Dao Alliance Headquarters.

Wherever his Master goes, he must follow, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

This young master of the Nanmen Family may seem arrogant and domineering, but he is actually just a tool in this talent war!

Of course, this is just Xiao Ran's guess.

Too much has happened today, and he doesn't want to cause any more trouble.

As for Xuan Mozi, having spent nearly a thousand years in the Dao Alliance Headquarters, she probably won't be so easily dealt with.

Moreover, there is also Hua Lian Wu Yu by the lake.

Xiao Ran carried his Master back to the White Night Pavilion.

Interestingly, White Night Pavilion is much busier at night than during the day; someone who didn't know better might mistake it for a brothel.

It's clear that people want to trade truly valuable items at night.

As the manager, the master's wife also got busy.

Xiao Ran didn't ask his master's wife to arrange a room for him. He directly set off on the Sword Ship and continued to hover above the White Night Pavilion.

His living conditions on the Sword Ship, apart from the lack of special services, were no worse than those of a high-end inn in the city.

Today, we set off from Zongzhi Mountain in the morning, passed through the teleportation array and the Dark Forest, and finally arrived at Chaos City in the evening. We first made a fuss in Wanhua Ward, then Bai Ye and his master's wife had a mixed bath together, finalized a business deal worth several hundred million, and then went to the Temple Fair...

The schedule was packed, and even though it was full of excitement and joy, I was still a little mentally exhausted.

Xiao Ran carried his Master into the small Bamboo Forest behind the Bamboo House, draped a bathrobe over his Master, and then, with a thoughtful gesture, stripped his Master naked from the inside.

The Temple Fair dress is original, infused with the rich aroma of wine, the crispness of bamboo, and the sweet fragrance of peaches...

I've been soaking in the bath too much; I've become too marinated.

No matter what, Master is still the best!

With this thought in mind, he calmed himself down and, with a pure heart, picked up his Master and carried her into the water, leaning her against the edge of the pool.

There are stone pillows, armrests, and lumbar supports designed by Xiao Ran specifically for sleeping by the pool.

Don't worry about sleeping in an uncomfortable position.

Xiao Ran then came to the opposite bank of his Master and sat cross-legged under the peach wood where the perpetual motion machine of falling flowers was installed.

The falling flowers are heartless, but the heart is full of longing. Master's sleeping face, with his hand propping up his cheek, is just too beautiful. Even if I can only look at him and never touch him for the rest of my life, it's still worth the time travel ticket price...

Besides, he could also get some freebies! Xiao Ran calculated the Filial Piety Points he had gradually earned during his trip to the lakeside—

Filial Piety Points: 358!

Not bad, the Temple Fair was worth the trip.

According to the schedule, tomorrow is the preliminary gathering time for the Heaven's Chosen Assembly, followed by a formal meeting three days later, and possibly a public event.

So, you need to get some rest.

Xiao Ran had just fallen asleep when a staff member from the White Night Pavilion brought over some fruit, pastries, and tea.

Xiao Ran casually drank some tea.

As a result, I couldn't sleep.

He had no choice but to take out his drawing board and carefully sketch his Master's face, stroke by stroke.

The results showed that no matter how they tried to depict her, they could not reproduce her natural beauty.

Even a tiny bit of artistic creation can make a significant difference.

In the end, the only way to preserve the beauty is to create a 100% replica, just like a camera...

As a painter, I've been a complete failure.

I don't know when.

Lingzhou Yue woke up groggily and saw Xiao Ran drawing something seriously, so she didn't disturb him.

She had a fruitful day, but her favorite was still the doll Xiao Ran had sculpted.

He took it out and looked at it, then put it back in his pocket.

It turned out that Xiao Ran was still drawing and hadn't even noticed that she had woken up...

Enraged, she grabbed a pebble from the bottom of the water and smashed it hard on Xiao Ran's forehead.

"You blockhead, come keep me company."

"Oh."

Xiao Ran recalled his experience of having chalk thrown at him by a female teacher during Chinese class years ago...

They busily brought fruit, pastries, and tea to their Master, placing them on the floating bamboo board.

Afterwards, Xiao Ran changed into a bathrobe and went into the water. After all, there was no mist on the water, and it wouldn't be proper for him to be shirtless.

Even after getting into the water, Xiao Ran was still thinking about how to paint his Master even more beautifully.

For the first time as an artist, he was going head-to-head with his Master!

Holding a bright red apple, Lingzhou Yue suddenly asked curiously, "Is the notebook still being drawn? When are Xiao Yan and Yun Yun getting married?"
