"Speak clearly." Li Xian's eyes narrowed.

The girl said anxiously: "Brother Xianyuan was attacked by gangsters one after another a few days ago. Sister Yanran thought she was the one who passed the disaster to you, and she became sick from overwork..."

But Li Xianyuan was right. This girl with a fragile heart really neglected her responsibilities.

The attack on Li Xianyuan was aroused, and only a few people knew that the other party was a cultivator.

"Lead the way."

He and the girl entered the gate of the academy. Li Xianyuan placed Xiaoqing by the lake and ignored him. He followed the girl to the side room in the northeast corner of the academy.

Outside the door, the girl's voice was low and she turned to Li Xianyuan and said, "Sister Yanran is inside. Don't say it's me who said it. I'm going to class now."

After saying that, he hurried away and left Li Xianyuan here.

Outside the side room, Li Xianyuan hesitated for a moment, but before he raised his hand to knock on the door, a weak and soft voice came from inside the door.

"Who...?"

The sun was shining slantingly, and the shadow was printed on the door. It must have been seen by Situ Yanran.

"It's me." Li Xianyuan said.

…

After a long period of silence, the weak voice slowly sounded: "Master Li, I am ill and cannot see guests. Please come back another day."

Li Xianyuan didn't answer. The shadow lingered on the door for a long time before it retreated.

It was quiet again inside and outside the house. It wasn't until more than ten breaths later that there was some movement.

Squeak——

The door was pushed open a crack, and a little head poked out. This was a girl with a rare short haircut. Black hair covered half of her cheeks, and the other half was stunning. I subconsciously thought of the word "feminine". She must be like this when she grows up.

The beauty of the country. However, the girl's cheeks and lips are pale, and her eyes that have entered the water are full of tiredness and loneliness, which is endearing.

"you……"

Situ Yanran immediately saw Li Xianyuan standing a few steps away from the door. He did not leave, but took a few steps back so that his shadow would no longer be cast on the door.

Situ Yanran was embarrassed and was about to close the door.

A hand was pressed against the door to prevent it from being closed.

"Master Li, please respect yourself." Situ Yanran tilted her head slightly, not looking at Li Xianyuan.

She was dressed in white underwear, and a faint fragrance floated in her nose.

"Give me some time." Li Xianyuan suddenly said something without any beginning or end.

"What?" Situ Yanran raised her head and looked at Li Xianyuan with one eye in confusion.

"I am not yet old enough to start a family."

Situ Yanran's heart skipped a beat and her eyes wandered away, daring not to look at Li Xianyuan: "You...why are you telling me this..."

Li Xianyuan's face was full of seriousness: "I am the Marquis of Guannei. How can I live without a respectable family? Miss Yanran has a distinguished family background and a good upbringing. I think she is the best choice. But I have no intention of getting married yet."

Situ Yanran's heart skipped a beat when she heard it, and she suppressed her shame and said, "What's wrong with the daughter of a sinner..."

"It's not as bad as your parents, and it's not as bad as your wife and children. What does that have to do with you? As for the disaster that may spread to others..." Li Xianyuan interrupted Situ Yanran's words and spoke very quickly.

He showed a smile, like the warm sun melting snow.

"Do I look like someone who believes that?"

The ice and snow melt.

"But my status is low..." She wanted to defend herself.

"I am now the Marquis of Guannei, with a rank of sixth rank. Even the officials of Wuhou County will respectfully call me Lord Li when they see me. But wasn't it that I just came down from the mountain more than ten days ago and was a poor little scholar?"

Situ Yanran stared at Li Xianyuan in a daze, her eye circles quickly turning red. Finally, she threw herself into Li Xianyuan's arms, hugged Li Xianyuan tightly, her shoulders trembled and she sobbed softly.

"People say that I was the one who killed my father and the whole family. They say that I am the broom star. I finally got used to being alone, and you suddenly broke in, making me care about you. And it was only a few days ago that you were attacked by gangsters.

"

The sound of crying sounded, and the hearts of those who heard it broke.

"If you do anything bad, I will really die..."

Li Xianyuan sighed and put his arms around the girl in his arms. However, a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old was so deadly when she spoke of love.

Although he had a crush on Situ Yanran, he didn't like her enough. This was also his dilemma. But when he thought that Situ Yanran would marry someone else, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Situ Yanran regarded Li Xianyuan as someone to confide in, holding her in her arms and telling her in detail, which was like half a stick of incense.

"Master Li, you really don't mind my half..."

Li Xianyuan shook his head, and then realized that Situ Yanran couldn't see it, so he said again: "I don't mind."

If someone else said this, Situ Yanran would definitely think that the other person was trying to comfort her. But what Li Xianyuan said made her believe it without a doubt, and her heart was as sweet as honey, and her eyes curved into crescent shapes.

"Li... Mr. Li."

Situ Yanran's voice suddenly became hoarse. Li Xianyuan lowered his head and saw that Situ Yanran's earlobes were bright red. He probably realized that she was in his arms and was so ashamed that he couldn't help himself.

"Call me Xianyuan." Li Xianyuan said.

"Yes... Immortal, immortal..." Situ Yanran was so shy that she couldn't speak. Her delicate body became hot: "Brother Li... can you... close your eyes."

Generally speaking, if a woman tells a man to close his eyes, he will secretly kiss him. But if he said that Situ Yanran would do it, Li Xianyuan would not believe it.

"Yeah." Li Xianyuan nodded and closed his eyes.

After a few breaths, there was a sudden chill in his arms. Situ Yanran left him, and then the door creaked and was closed.

Li Xianyuan opened his eyes with a bit of melancholy, and heard Situ Yanran's shy voice in the room: "Brother Li, I'm still sick, I'm careful to infect you. I'll see you again in a few days..."

Li Xianyuan knew that Situ Yanran was thin-skinned and was so impulsive today that he almost fainted from shyness. He nodded and said, "I'll buy some medicine."

"No need..." Situ Yanran said: "Brother Li, now that you are here, my heartache will naturally... naturally dissipate. I am just making an excuse because I am ashamed to see you..."

Li Xianyuan was shocked. These words of love were really unlike what Situ Yanran could say. But then, there was a sudden thud in the room.

With a chill in his heart, Li Xianyuan rushed forward and pushed the door open.

The door was unlocked and there was no one in the room. Li Xianyuan lowered his head and saw Situ Yanran who was unconscious on the ground. He quickly stepped forward to help him up. Situ Yanran's eyes were closed tightly, his body was hot, and his face was so red that he was almost bleeding.

This girl... actually fainted from shyness.

Li Xianyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't say anything that he couldn't love, but he forced himself to do so.

The black hair slid to the side, and the other half of Situ Yanran's face was completely exposed. Ugly scars were densely covered like centipedes, and it made people's scalp numb when looking straight at it, like an evil ghost.

Li Xianyuan ignored her and hugged Situ Yanran's legs. The soft fragrance in his arms made his heart shudder. He put her on the bed with a calm mind, covered her with the quilt, turned around and went out to call the teacher.

Within a moment, Li Xianyuan led a female student across the threshold and entered the house.
