"My senior brother..."

Ji Ranran looked at Xiao Yi hesitantly, a little worried whether her master would be able to bear it if she told the truth.

"Tell the truth to your senior."

Xiao Yi said to Ji Ranran.

"what happened?"

Peng Zimo obviously noticed something and his expression changed.

Then, Ji Ranran told her master everything that happened today in detail.

When Peng Zimo heard that Cui Yan was the person behind the whole thing and that Pei Yuanliang had betrayed him, his expression changed completely, with shock, anger, and disbelief filling his face.

"Cough...cough..."

Peng Zimo, who tried his best to remain calm, finally couldn't help it and suddenly started coughing violently. His face, which had just recovered, turned pale again.

"Master... don't worry, the matter has come to an end now, and those uncles are all fine."

Ji Ranran hurried to comfort her.

"I just……"

Peng Zimo's breathing was extremely heavy.

"I'm sad for you... Senior Brother..."

"I see."

Ji Ranran choked up and nodded. She felt the same way. Before she met Xiao Yi, the closest people to her in the world were Peng Zimo and Pei Yuanliang.

Xiao Yi sat aside and didn't want to interrupt, after all, they were master and disciple.

He understood Pei Yuanliang's betrayal because he felt that Peng Zimo would never be able to make a comeback and he just wanted to change his master. However, he still maintained a little humanity in the end and begged Cui Yan not to kill Ji Ranran.

But... in the end, he died at the hands of his 'new master'...

Ji Ranran thought of something and hurriedly brought all the resources sent by Lord Zhong Yucheng to Peng Zimo.

Peng Zimo slowly picked up a porcelain bottle of medicine, opened it, but his movements paused.

"I thought... the real person behind this would be Lord Que. I misunderstood him."

Peng Zimo muttered to himself and casually swallowed all the pills in the porcelain bottle.

"Then Lord Que is also responsible for this matter! Does he really not trust you? Or..."

Ji Ranran didn't finish her words, and she still had a lot of complaints in her heart.

Xiao Yi's heart moved. In fact, from his contact with Zhong Yucheng, he could see something.

Even though Zhong Yucheng believed in Peng Zimo, it was Elder Liu beside the latter who had evil intentions, so he had to use some means.

Naturally, the impact of holding Elder Liu accountable will be greater than holding Peng Zimo accountable!

Again, regardless of whether Peng Zimo is guilty or not, he must pay for the mistakes of his subordinates, must be punished, and this must be made known to the entire sect!

"Ran Ran, let's just talk about these things in private. Actually... I can understand the deep meaning of Lord Que."

Peng Zimo said calmly.

"Yes……"

Ji Ranran nodded in response, still feeling angry.

From now on, she will not try to win anything from Zhong Yucheng, but will try to prove her own strength and value!

For herself, and even more for her master, she fought for this!

"The one who made me most happy this time was you, but I didn't get to see you refining weapons today."

Peng Zimo took a deep breath, held Ji Ranran's hand, and looked relieved.

"And Xiao Yi, if it weren't for you, Ran Ran wouldn't be able to do this, and I wouldn't be safe and sound."

"Senior, let's not talk about this anymore. You have raised Ran Ran, so you are also my master."

Xiao Yi shook his head.

Peng Zimo looked at Xiao Yi, his expression of relief becoming even stronger: "Your master has indeed trained a good disciple."

"Senior, regarding my engagement with Ranran..."

Xiao Yi couldn't help but ask, Ji Ranran also looked confused.

"That was three years ago. On the day I got the Tiangan Pearl, I had the honor of meeting your master..."

Peng Zimo briefly recounted what happened at that time.

"Master, where is my marriage certificate?"

Ji Ranran was puzzled.

"It's inside the Tiangan Pearl. It's not only a divine material for repairing the artifact, but also a storage space."

Peng Zimo said.

"So you put all your life's experience in cultivation into the Tiangan Pearl and left it to me?"

Ji Ranran was quite moved when she thought of something.

"Because I believe in you. You are capable of inheriting my legacy. No, you will only go higher and further than me!"

Peng Zimo said seriously.

Looking at Ji Ranran's hand again, the Tiangan Pearl had flashed out. After some attempts, she successfully opened the internal space.

Soon, she discovered the various weapon refining techniques and insights left by Peng Zimo for her, as well as a large number of spiritual materials and magical weapons.

Seeing this scene, Ji Ranran's eyes became moist again. This was not only love for her, but more of a responsibility and obligation to her!

Peng Zimo gently stroked Ji Ranran's hair, with a peaceful look on his face and an extremely calm heart.

Then, Ji Ranran took out a marriage certificate that was exactly the same as Xiao Yi's. When she opened it, her nose felt sore again.

“I just haven’t decided when to tell you, because I know you’d be very averse to an engagement because of your physical condition and the birthmark.

Besides... after all, I am not your biological parent. As for this marriage certificate... I am more concerned about it because if something happens to me in the future, you will have an extra guarantee and someone to rely on.

But I didn’t expect that things would happen so quickly, and I didn’t expect that you, Xiao Yi, had already arrived in Kunlun Realm…”

Peng Zimo explained.

"Master, you will always be the one closest to me."

Ji Ranran felt extremely warm in her heart, as Peng Zimo was completely unreserved towards her.

"Since you are fine, the thing in the Tiangan Pearl..."

"No, from now on Xuanlingque can be without me, Peng Zimo, but it cannot be without you, Ji Ranran."

Peng Zimo said seriously.

"Besides, you will be the eldest senior sister from now on, so you must take good care of your junior brothers and sisters."

"But……"

Ji Ranran was stunned. She really didn't expect Peng Zimo to say that. She suddenly felt a heavy burden on her shoulders.

"Could it be that... Senior is preparing..."

Xiao Yi saw something and asked hesitantly.

"Well, this should also be what the Lord wants to see. The future of Xuanlingque will belong to the younger generation like Ranran."

Peng Zimo replied.

Xiao Yi's eyes narrowed, and he understood Peng Zimo's meaning.

Cui Yan died and Cai Chen was deposed. If Peng Zimo recovers, he will be the most powerful existence in Xuanlingque except for Zhong Yucheng.

Therefore, Peng Zimo planned to use the method of "semi-retirement" to reassure Zhong Yucheng, which would also create a brighter future for his disciples...

Ji Ranran was stunned, but soon understood the deep meaning of her master.

After chatting for a while, Xiao Yi and the other man stopped disturbing Peng Zimo's practice and quickly left the room.

When they got outside, a disciple came up to them quickly and said, "Mr. Xiao, Xiao Lang from the Xiao family is waiting outside the door."

"Xiao Lang?"

Xiao Yi was stunned, wondering something in his mind.

Soon, he came out of the yard and saw Xiao Lang who had been waiting for a long time.

"Are you waiting for me?"

Xiao Yi didn't address him, so he had no idea of ​​Xiao Lang's identity.

"Yes, I want to talk to you before I leave."

Xiao Lang looked at Xiao Yi, still feeling a little uneasy.

"Then... come to my place."

Xiao Yi said.

"No need, just say a few words and I'll leave."

Xiao Lang declined.

Xiao Yi nodded, gave Ji Ranran a look, and then walked away alone with Xiao Lang.

"You must have a lot of doubts about me... or the Xiao family, right?"

Xiao Lang took the initiative to speak, and the two came to a pavilion by the lake.

"I am not interested in you or the Xiao family. I am only interested in Xiao Chengwen who wants to kill me!"

Xiao Yi's words were very direct.

"Ah."

Xiao Yi responded. He was not surprised that Xiao Yi said that, and he even stopped questioning his confidence.
