Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? - Chapter 762
Chapter 762: You guys… have something to say?
…
“Yes, Ancestor, I’ll go deliver the message right away!”
That deacon immediately stood at attention.
But then he reacted—wait a minute!
What did the Ancestor just say?
Let Sect Master Li’s Dao Companion go out to show himself to those sect prodigies?
Does Sect Master Li really have a Dao Companion?
Since when did this happen!
So those sect prodigies coming to make a fuss wasn’t because of rumors after all?
The Deacon Elder suddenly understood why those sect prodigies were so furious. As he walked towards the Moon Shadow Sect’s main gate, he cursed inwardly.
He wanted to see just who Sect Master Li’s Dao Companion was!
If he couldn’t satisfy the disciples of their Moon Shadow Sect, it would be better to break up this Dao Companion for Sect Master Li sooner rather than later, after all, that concerns Sect Master Li’s future!
…
Chen Huaian returned to his cave dwelling, a hint of worry on his face.
“Master, what happened? What has you looking so troubled?” Li Qingran originally hadn’t taken this matter to heart, but seeing Chen Huaian’s expression, she felt a vague worry, her drowsiness clearing somewhat.
“It’s nothing major.” Chen Huaian sighed: “It’s just that the disciples outside all know you have a Dao Companion now, and all the other sects outside Moon Shadow Sect know too. So early this morning, those sect prodigies came to our sect gate making a ruckus like they’d gone mad, saying they want to meet your Dao Companion.”
After hearing this, Li Qingran was also stunned for a moment, tilting her head in confusion: “Your disciple hasn’t found a Dao Companion, who is your disciple’s Dao Companion?”
Chen Huaian looked at Li Qingran with a resentful gaze, not saying a word.
Li Qingran was amused by Chen Huaian’s expression, giggling as she said: “Oh! Right! I forgot Master has already devoured your disciple clean, so Master must be your disciple’s Dao Companion then~” Her pretty face flushed slightly, she fell silent for a moment, then said to Chen Huaian: “Since that’s the case, Master should go then, it’ll also make those sect prodigies give up.”
“You’re not coming with your master?” Chen Huaian was taken aback.
Li Qingran covered her mouth with a light laugh, teasingly saying: “They want to see Li Qingran’s Dao Companion, not Li Qingran herself, what would your disciple go for?”
This damn girl, she’s doing this on purpose, isn’t she!
Chen Huaian’s face darkened, and without another word he lifted Li Qingran out from under the bedding, ignoring her pitiful, pleading eyes, solemnly stating: “Less nonsense, quickly change clothes and come with your master.”
How could he face such an awkward situation alone?
They say Dao Companions are of one heart, Li Qingran must go with him!
Li Qingran stared at by Chen Huaian, seeing that acting cute and affectionate had lost its effect on her master here, pouted and slowly got up.
There was a set of clothes by the bed, the sect master’s robe she usually wore.
But wearing it often appeared too solemn, lacking some of the liveliness that adorned a person.
Her eyes shifted, and she took out a set of shimmering, iridescent Lunar Splendor long dress from her storage ring, carefully putting it on. She then tidied her cloud-like hair in front of the mirror, pinned in a hairpin with dangling ornaments, and put on various jade bracelets and necklaces she wouldn’t normally wear, meticulously dressing up.
Chen Huaian watched from the side, eyes wide: “Girl, are you going to repel enemies or attend a banquet?”
Li Qingran looked back with a smile, containing a hint of charming naivety: “Usually, your disciple appears as Master’s disciple, so naturally what I wear doesn’t matter. As the saying goes, a woman dresses up for the one who appreciates her. Today, your disciple is appearing as Master’s Dao Companion, so naturally I must dress up beautifully, I can’t lose face for Master~”
Chen Huaian originally wanted to say there was no situation where she could lose face for him.
Because with Li Qingran’s beauty, even wearing a plastic bag could utterly captivate him.
But he also understood some of a girl’s thoughts.
So he waited on the side for Li Qingran to finish getting ready.
…
Outside the Moon Shadow Sect’s mountain gate, the prodigies from various major sects had long grown impatient, the noise growing louder and louder.
Just then, a faint light shimmered within the mountain gate, and two figures walked out side by side.
Leading was the Qingran Fairy they were familiar with.
Today, she had clearly dressed up deliberately.
A Lunar Splendor dress made her figure appear even more graceful, her skin surpassing snow, her brows and eyes like a painting. When she glanced around, her eyes shimmered with iridescent light, adding three parts more radiant brilliance than usual, instantly capturing everyone’s gaze and quieting the originally noisy scene.
And standing beside her was Chen Huaian, dressed in black clothes, white hair like snow, his aura deep and imposing like a mountain.
His face was handsome yet indifferent, with sharp Sword Intent faintly circulating around him, making people dare not meet his gaze.
“It’s Qingran Fairy! And Ancestor Chen!”
“Greetings, Ancestor! Greetings, Sect Master Li!”
The prodigies all bowed in greeting, but most of their gazes stuck to Li Qingran, excited and infatuated.
After paying respects, that Blade Sect’s true disciple couldn’t hold back anymore, cupping his fists towards Chen Huaian and loudly saying: “Senior Chen! You’ve come just in time! You must uphold justice for our Qingran Fairy!”
The Spirit Beast Sect’s young master also hurriedly chimed in: “Yes, Ancestor! We don’t know which damnable person spread the rumor, daring to slander Qingran Fairy as having a Dao Companion! This person’s heart deserves execution!”
The Qi Sect’s senior brother even said to Chen Huaian with a serious expression: “Ancestor, Qingran Fairy is pure and chaste, wholeheartedly devoted to the Dao, how could she easily pledge herself to someone? This rumor is malicious, aiming to ruin the Fairy’s pure reputation! We must definitely find that rumor-spreading scoundrel and punish him severely!”
They all chattered away, completely not considering the possibility of Chen Huaian and Li Qingran’s relationship being that way.
After all, Chen Huaian was Li Qingran’s master, the Cangyun Realm’s publicly acknowledged number one in sword cultivation, virtuous and prestigious, of extremely high seniority.
And how old is Chen Huaian?
How old is Li Qingran?
Even if Li Qingran had special thoughts about Sword Master Chen, Sword Master Chen couldn’t possibly accept.
This was a matter concerning Sword Master Chen’s face.
In their view, the Ancestor appearing was definitely to clarify the rumor and punish the villain!
As some spoke, the topic drifted off course.
A bold sect prodigy squeezed to the front, eagerly saying to Chen Huaian: “Ancestor! You see… although this junior is untalented, my feelings for Qingran Fairy are utterly sincere, and my cultivation and family background might barely, roughly, perhaps be worthy… do you think… does this junior have even the slightest possibility…” Before he finished speaking, his face turned red first.
Probably thinking about the gap between his cultivation, family background, and Li Qingran’s, he couldn’t even finish his sentence.
But thick-skinned people weren’t just him alone.
These words immediately reminded others, and they all recommended themselves:
“Ancestor! I am the Heavenly Apex Sect’s Holy Son, I just entered the Nascent Soul stage this year!”
“Ancestor, choose me! My sect has mines! Three newly born small Spirit Veins, willing to offer them all!”
“Ancestor, look at me! I’m willing to marry into the Moon Shadow Sect!”
Chen Huaian listened as these kids, right in front of him, started promoting themselves wanting to be his disciple’s Dao Companion. His face grew darker and darker, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.
The deacon who delivered the message beside him was also dumbfounded. He waited for a long time but didn’t see the so-called “Dao Companion” appear, so he couldn’t help but quietly ask Chen Huaian: “Ancestor, what you said earlier… Sect Master Li’s Dao Companion… when is he coming?”
Li Qingran listened from the side, watching her master’s stifled yet unable to vent expression. She couldn’t help but cover her mouth with her sleeve, shoulders trembling slightly, laughing so hard she shook like a flower branch.
Chen Huaian took a deep breath, finally unable to endure any longer.
He stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over this group of excited and expectant prodigies. His voice wasn’t loud, but clearly suppressed all the noise:
“Silence.”
Two words carrying invisible pressure instantly made the entire scene fall silent.
All eyes focused on him.
They saw their respected Sword Master Chen, expressionless, raise his hand, and point at himself.
His tone flat and unemotional: “This Venerable One is Qingran’s Dao Companion.”
“I heard you wanted to see me.”
Chen Huaian’s icy gaze swept over the instantly petrified crowd, lightly asking, “Now, This Venerable One is here. You all… have something to say?”
