Chapter 899: Determine the Target

and with a few leaps, she arrived beside Lian Yi. She only glanced lightly at Qi Qiji before speaking:"Ripples, are they troubling you""I'm not sure, you'd have to ask Qi Gongzi about that."Wang Zhen...Ran Miaolan, the eldest disciple of Yunxianzong, has reached the peak of the late stage of foundation building. Her master is Ran Yunqing, a Nascent Soul True Monarch of Yunxianzong and Ran Miaolan's ancestor. She takes great care of her descendants and cultivates Ran Miaolan as the core disciple of the sect.

And Ran Miao Lan did not disappoint her ancestors. Whether it was her cultivation or her conduct, her interactions with fellow disciples, everything was exemplary. Therefore, among her peers, Master Sister Ran Miao Lan's status was unassailable.

Ran Miaolan is beautiful and has an imposing yet open personality. She is very popular among her fellow disciples, but every sect has some jealous female disciples. Especially with Ran Miaolan as a comparison, many female cultivators naturally dislike her.

Some female cultivators dislike her, but they won't show it on the surface. After all, Ran Miaolan is not someone who swallows her anger silently, and with her family's backing, she's powerful enough. So these female cultivators choose to keep their distance from her.

There were some disciples from families of similar standing left, most of whom tried to get along with Ran Miaolan. Only a small minority genuinely liked to pick on her. After all, she was the eldest senior sister. Among these people, Li Qianqian, granddaughter of the head of Yunxianzong Danfeng Peak, was the highest-ranking among them.

Li Qianqian is beautiful and comes from a distinguished family. Her cultivation has already reached the late stage of foundation building, so she can truly compete with Ran Miaolan. This time, she joined the team because her heartthrob senior brother Mo Wanfeng was in it.

Along the way, as long as she found an opportunity, Li Qianqian would crowd around Mo Wanfeng, making him incredibly annoyed.

Mo Wanfeng, in order to escape Li Qianqian's pursuit, constantly used Ran Miaolan as a shield. After many times, even Ran Miaolan became unhappy with this arrangement.

She and Li Qianqian never got along. Within the sect, they only maintained a superficial relationship out of politeness, after all, she didn't want to make things difficult for her own elders.

Li Qianqian is not stupid either. Her family's ancestor is only at the Golden Core stage, and he doesn't have the strength to rival a Nascent Soul True Monarch. That's why the two sides can maintain a superficial peace.

Within the sect, Li Qianqian wanted to surpass the other in both cultivation and alchemy. Of course, if she could make the male cultivators who admired Ran Miaolan look at her with admiration, even praising her highly, that would be even better. This way, she would appear stronger than Ran Miaolan, her senior sister.

This training trip was originally planned in the Xianyun Mountains near Yunxian Sect. However, during their journey, Li Qianqian recklessly provoked a fourth-order monster, which has now stirred up a hornet's nest.

A fourth-order monster is equivalent to a human cultivator at the Yuan Ying stage. They don't even have the will to resist, they can only desperately flee for their lives. In the process of being chased by the Swallowing Cloud Beast, some people in the team fell, some were injured, and some scattered, becoming a loose sand.

Ran Miaolan was lucky. During her escape, she stepped on a random teleportation array. Mo Wanfeng quickly followed suit. Li Qianqian saw this and grabbed onto Mo Wanfeng's sleeve. The moment the formation activated, it teleported the three of them to the outskirts of Kirin City.

Three escaped, but Ran Miaolan really didn't want to have anything to do with Li Qianqian. Fortunately, Qilin City was still within the territory of Yuxian Sect, so she sent a message to the sect, explained the situation, and prepared to return to the sect. After all, there were still scattered comrades in the Yuxian Mountains.

This time, Li Qianqian didn't object. After all, she just had to follow Mo Wanfeng, and as long as they were within the sect's territory, it didn't matter where they trained. Especially since she could be with her loved one, she was more than willing.

The problem lies with Mo Wanfeng. He wants to continue following Ran Miaolan, and his reasons are very valid. They originally formed a team together to go through trials, and it's best for them not to separate.

Li Qianqian actually only wanted to be with Mo Wanfeng in her heart and wanted to exclude Ran Miaolan. Unfortunately, Mo Wanfeng didn't cooperate, and she couldn't say it out loud. She just became more and more dismissive of Ran Miaolan.

Ruan Miaolan naturally guessed the minds of these two people. One wanted to use her to get rid of the entanglement, and the other wanted to cultivate feelings with the male cultivator away from her. In the end, she was just a tool. She didn't want them to have their way.

Therefore, when Ran Miaolan received the message from her sect and learned that the escaped disciples had all returned to the sect one after another, she was no longer in a hurry to return. She decided to travel and train while making her way back to the sect.

So Ran Miaolan went to the Mission Hall in Qilin City, preparing to team up with others to go to the nearby Yonghe Mountains for training. The two people's staying or leaving had nothing to do with her, she didn't want to get involved with them.

When forming teams, Ran Miaolan met Du LeLe. To be precise, it was Du LeLe who took the initiative to approach Ran Miaolan.

After Du Li arrived in Qilin City, she began to look for a new squad and prepare to volunteer. After all, she couldn't take on high-difficulty missions alone, and it wasn't safe. Relying on her cultivation base of the middle stage of foundation establishment, she joined a temporary mission squad very smoothly.

While she was accepting a mission in the task hall, she saw Ran Miaolan and her eyes lit up. The other's aura was so tempting. Green aura mixed with speckles of purple - this proved that the other's aura was constantly rising.

So Du led stepped forward and asked:

"Friend, would you be interested in joining our group"

Ran MiaoLan was looking at the task content on the stone wall. Hearing Du Le's question, she didn't refuse outright, but just asked:

What mission did your squad receive

Our team took on a Tier 2 mission to search for a Grade 3 Phoenix Tail Lily in the Yonghe Mountains.

Having said that, Du let out a telepathic transmission instead:

Our captain knows the exact location of the three-petal phoenix tail lotus, but there's a level 3 mid-stage guardian demon beast beside it. So he wants to find some strong people to join us. The mission rewards will be distributed according to the effort put in, so everyone will benefit fairly.

Before we depart, everyone also makes a heartfelt vow: during the mission, we must not harm each other, and we cannot use others to scheme against our teammates. You can rest assured and join our squad.

After thinking for a moment, Ran Miaolan said:

"Let me meet your teammates first before I make a decision."

"Very well, friend, please follow me."

Du Le immediately smiled and said, introducing himself as well:

“My name is Du Lied, an inner disciple of the Wuyun Sect. After breaking through the Foundation Establishment stage, I came out to hone my skills. It's fate that we meet here. What shall I call you”

Ran Miaolan felt that Du Li had been so enthusiastic, it must have been because of her cultivation. So she also introduced herself, but she also concealed something:

Just call me Miaolan, I'm an inner sect disciple of the Yunxian Sect.

"So you're a disciple of a sect as well."

Du Le le smiled and said, "This way we can also explain the other party's Qi."

As the two just stepped out of the mission hall, they were stopped by Mo Wanfeng and Li Qianqian.

"Senior sister, are you going to leave us"

Mo Wanfeng said with some reluctance.

"Brother, we're just fellow disciples. I'm not your mother, you know When going out to hone our skills, there's no need to tie you to my belt!"

Ran MiaoLan said bluntly.

But you are our senior sister!

Li Qianqian expressed her dissatisfaction in a timely manner.oment, every gun was trained on Ripple and her companions.Ripples remained steadily seated in her chair. Lion couldn't, and had to pull open his shirt. A brand new model of explosives was resting on h...
