Please, I Really Don't Want to Fall in Love With My Teacher!

Chapter 31: Li Ran's Shadow!

This was an annual gathering, where all the great clans of Wuyang City gathered.

Xiao Qingge once again became an influential figure. For a moment, all eyes were on him.

There are*******, banter, greed, and coveting stares …

A long time ago, she was a fairy with great beauty and hope. Now this immortal wealth had completely disappeared and fallen into the mortal world, naturally attracting the attention of many.

"Xiao Qingge's? I didn't think you'd actually come." A young man with a vain expression stood in front of him with a playful smile on his face.

It was Li Sheng, Li Ran's cousin. Top-grade talent, and Inner Sect Disciple.

"Although the Supreme Dao Palace had released the news, the Xiaomu family had never come forward to acknowledge it. Now that you have come to the Eternal Ascension Conference, didn't you announce to the world that you, Xiao Qingge, are crippled?" Li Sheng emphasized the word "defect", making sure everyone could hear it.

Xiao Qingge was expressionless as she turned to leave.

"Are you angry? Still acting cold? I thought you were Fairy Qing?" A trace of displeasure flashed across Li Sheng's eyes as he reached out and grabbed his arm.

Xiao Qingge frowned.

The pain!

This grip almost destroyed his bones. The strength of an intermediate Foundation Establishment cultivator was not something that ordinary mortals could bear.

On the other hand, the disciples of the Xiao family turned a blind eye to this. They all looked elsewhere as if they did not know him.

His family is in this situation. They were really cold towards him, anyone could see him!

Li Sheng would not want to feel more proud.

"Losing cultivation and being expelled by the sect ... Not to mention, your Xiao family really wants to marry into my Li family?"

"You don't even have an old ancestor to look after your family, yet you want to marry into my Li family? What a joke!"

"As far as I know, the issue of marriage annulment is over. You better think of what other uses are left!"

Xiao Qingge said coldly, "Take it off."

" Aiyo, I'm so scared!" Li Sheng sized it up and smiled evilly. "Look how beautiful you are. Why don't you become a cauldron human*? I'll keep you safe!"

[TL/N: Again, a euphemism for slaves***]

"Do you think you deserve me?"

"What did you say?!" Li Sheng suspected he had heard wrongly

Xiao Qingge raised her head and looked at him coldly. "As long as the engagement is not canceled, I am Li Ran's fiancee! Have you considered the consequences?"

"Li Ran?" When Li Sheng heard this name, his body could not help shaking. Traces of fear flashed in his eyes.

"You, who are you afraid of ..."

"Depart."

"......" Li Sheng looked at him with calm eyes, and he suddenly felt a little surprised. He subconsciously released his grip on her.

"That's right, I lost my cultivation and became a mortal. That's right!" Then, he turned around and left.

These words deeply pierced his weakness. Under Li Ran's shadow, he would never be able to raise his head!

"Xiao Qingge, when the Li family cancels the engagement, I will definitely make you pay the price!" His eyes were filled with violence.

—

Xiao Qingge returned home and locked herself in her room. His entire body seemed to have been emptied in an instant. He sat on the chair weakly, his eyes filled with confusion.

No matter how strong she was, she was just a teenage girl. The sudden fall from the clouds to hell was not something he could bear.

Buk.

Someone is knocking on the door.

He held back his expression and stood up to open the door.

Outside the door stood a burly man. It was the head of the Xiao family, his real father, Xiao Nian.

"Qingg."

"Dad." Xiao Qingge lowered her head, not daring to look at him.

Xiao Nian sighed helplessly. "Go and tell me."

Xiao Nian set up a soundproof formation and then said loudly, "Qingge, you shouldn't have gone to the Eternal Ascension Conference. It'll only make things worse."

Xiao Qingge shook her head and said, "The Supreme Dao Palace has released this news. This problem cannot be hidden ... And I want to try again ..."

"I understand." Xiao Nian sighed and said, “Since the death of the old ancestor, the Xiao family is like a candle blown by the wind. There were tigers and wolves in Wuyang City. I'm just worried I can't protect you!"

“The inability of this princess has made father worry,” whispered Xiao Qingge.

“If we can get the support of the Li family, things will turn around. Unfortunately.” Xiao Nian shook his head.

With the current state of the Xiao family, it was almost certain that the marriage would be void.

"Qingge, is that really impossible for you and Li Ran?" Xiao Nian could not help but ask.

"Li Ran?" Xiao Qingge's eyes were confused. The appearance of a boy flashed through his mind.

Playmates since childhood, agreement under the tree, parental orders, matchmaker words…

He was ready!

"No way." Xiao Qingge bit her lip. "Li Ran is Sheng Zi from Youluo Temple. Sects forbid marriage. Even if she doesn't cancel the wedding, the marriage still can't go on."

Sighs…

Xiao Nian's heart was filled with helplessness.

Li Ran was the only solution that could reverse their situation. Only if he stepped forward could Xiao Qingge be fully protected.

With Xiao Qingge's personality, she would rather swallow a broken tooth*. How could she willingly go beg him at this moment?
