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

Chapter 9: If you are a genius, face me in battle

Due to his sealed cultivation base, Li Ran had not even been able to sleep well for the past half a month.

Finally, after returning to normal, his tense nerves could relax again.

He managed to sleep well tonight.

"Sheng Zi, wake up."

A soft voice sounded in his ears. Li Ran opened his eyes slightly, seeing a beautiful girl standing by the bed, her clothes in hand.

"Sheng Zi, time for breakfast," the beautiful woman whispered.

Name's Aqin. Originally a noble daughter of the Shen family, she angered the Li family, which ended with her entire family being annexed. She herself ended up becoming Li Ran's servant later.

But this was not the end of his tragic fate.

After he came to Youluo Temple, Li Ran took him to serve him in daily necessities. Not because he likes her so much. Instead, Aqin suffered quite a severe torment under his hands. Reprimand and beating are just part of the general treatment. If not for the sect rules forbidding the relationship between men and women, he would have already ended up as his Human Cauldron .

As for why Li Ran decided to accept it, it was mostly because he was obedient like anj*ng.

"Aqin wrong. Please punish me, Sheng Zi!"

When Li Ran's gaze fell onto his body, Aqin became panicked, instantly kneeling.

Looking at his body that was still bruised, Li Ran could only shake his head. Such a beautiful girl, how could the previous owner of my body do such a thing to her?

"You didn't do anything wrong. You don't need to apologize to me," Li Ran said.

Aqin became even more panicked when she heard this. He suddenly hit his head on the ground.

"Aqin is wrong, please punish me!" he kowtowed on the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably. Obviously, his fear was the worst.

Li Ran sighed. Psychological trauma like this, acquired over many years, cannot be cured overnight. With a sudden change in temperament, he finally still hesitated. It is best to maintain the current status quo and slowly change it over time for the better.

"Wake up and help me get dressed" she said lightly.

"Yes." Yeah." Aqin stood up and served Li Ran skillfully and gently.

He was wearing a pure white brocade robe with a silver filigree on the inside.

Wearing a piece of transparent jade hanging on the pure white belt at his waist, he looked handsome and noble like a charming and elegant master.

Aqin looked at him without blinking.

"Do I look good?" Li Ran asked.

Aqin nodded solemnly, "Sheng Zi is the best!"

Li Ran could not help but pinch his little face. "You're good, son."

After talking to him, he got up and left. With him gone, the room became quiet.

Aqin covered her cheeks, opening her little mouth slightly, her eyes filled with disbelief.

He stood frozen in place, like a statue, for a long time.

After breakfast, Li Ran wandered around with his hands behind his back.

Due to the Heaven Seizing Cultivation Method, he was able to cultivate at any time no matter what he did, so there was no reason for him to focus on meditation anymore.

Which in terms just means he has nothing to do.

"Hello, Sheng Zi."

"Greetings Sheng Zi!"

All the disciples he met along the way greeted him respectfully. Although Li Ran kept a cold and indifferent expression during all this.

Li Ran turned his head and saw a beautiful girl standing behind him. Her eyes narrowed into a crescent moon as she smiled at him.

"Young Brother?" Li Ran raised his eyebrows.

If someone was to blame for the misunderstanding between him and the sect master the day before, it was him.

Lu Xinran smiled happily. "Good morning, Sheng Zi. I haven't seen you in just one day and it looks like you've become more handsome."

Do I need your reminder?

Li Ran said coldly, "Good morning, why are you standing here instead of going out to cultivate?"

Evidently, Lu Xinran was already used to his attitude. He smiled, "Sheng Zi, I have made rapid progress in my cultivation. I am now at the late stage of Qi Refining and even Elder Sun calls me a bit of a genius!"

His tone was somewhat coquettish, similar to a child waiting to be praised.

“What is important to me?”

Before Li Ran could utter these words, a system voice rang out in his head.

New missions are available.

Please give a guide to junior sister's cultivation problem to help her make progress.

The quality of the reward depends on the level of completion of the task!】

Li Ran's heart started beating faster. He had tasted the sweetness of the gift yesterday. There's no way he's letting this one go.

"It is very easy to provide guidance, but to actually make someone achieve progress in their cultivation just by that is a different matter. This one doesn't seem like something I can accomplish with just a few words."

"Especially, helping others doesn't fully fit my personality."

"I think I should think of another way ..."

After a while, he thought of an idea.

—

“Sheng Zi?” Lu Xinran was still waiting for her praise.

"Genius? Oh, are you now?" Li Ran sneered.

Lu Xinran pouted and was dissatisfied with his words. "Older Sun said it personally. He said that I am extremely talented and our sect's cultivation method is suitable for me. He said my future achievements would be great!"

"Talent..hehe" Li Ran shook his head and said, "You are sixteen this year, right? When I was your age, I had already entered the Golden Core state . Meanwhile, you are still only at Qi Refining. You can't even reach Foundation Establishment so far.

"With such low talent, you dare to call yourself a genius in front of me?"

"That's ridiculous!"

Li Ran's indifferent voice was as cold as winter itself.

The disciples at the side could not help but shudder. This is really our Sheng Zi style. He's just unrelenting!

Lu Xinran's small mouth slumped into a frown. His round eyes were suddenly filled with tears.

Li Ran said with a flat face, "Do you not believe me?"

Lu Xinran bit her lips, lowered her head, and did not say anything.

"Here you go, then I'll give you a chance to prove yourself."

"How do I prove myself?" Lu Xinran raised his head.

"Fight with me." Li Ran said casually.

"What?!" Lu Xinran froze on the spot.
