Please, I Really Didn’t Want To Fall in Love With My Master! Chapter 75:

Chapter 75:

There was a reason why the Li Family's position was so extraordinary and that their position was higher than the other families.
The only reason was that the Li Family had an emperor powerhouse.
The Li Family ancestor, Li Wuqiang, was a mighty figure who had Emperor-level cultivation.
He was on the same level as Leng Wuyan, Liu Xunhuan, Chen Yundao, and others.
Moreover, he had lived longer than them.
Because of some unknown reasons, Li Wuqiang had always stayed in the Li family's secret ground in seclusion, never taking a single step outside.
He silently guarded the descendants of the Li family.
Only when there was a major incident within the family, or when there was a powerful enemy that attacked, would he reveal his true body.
Now, the Grand Elder wanted to invite the ancestor out of seclusion?
Li Daoyuan frowned and said, "Isn't this making a fuss? If you dare to disturb the ancestor’s cultivation, his anger is not something we can bear!"
The Great Elder refused to let go. "It's a major matter that the family members wanted to kill each other. Moreover, it's also related to the son of the patriarch. We'll let the ancestor make a decision!"
"But…" Li Daoyuan was extremely resistant.
As the Patriarch, no matter what Li Ran did, he would be able to protect him.
However, once the ancestor emerged from seclusion, his position would be switched.
The ancestor is iron-clad and righteous. His most serious taboo was for families to kill each other.
This matter, with no clear indication of who’s right or wrong, is definitely not good.
“The Grand Elder is very smart. This was the only way to punish Li Ran! According to the family's rules, as long as half of the elders agree, they can invite the ancestor out of seclusion. Let's vote!" After he finished, he raised his hand first.
Following that, the Fourth Elder and the Sixth Elder raised their hands to express their agreement.
As for the Patriarch Li Daoyuan, Second Elder, and Fifth Elder, they did not raise their hands.
Three votes to three, just half!
A trace of pride flashed through Grand Elder's eyes. "Very good, ring the bell, enter the secret ground, and respectfully welcome the ancestor out of seclusion!"
Li Daoyuan secretly expressed his hate towards the Grand Elder, but he had his hands tied this time.

Li Family's secret ground…
After arriving at the ancestral hall, several elders stood in front of a huge stone door.
The stone door was engraved with various Dao Markings, and it seemed as if there was a phenomenon of the Grand Dao that could not help but draw people’s attention to immerse in it.
Dong~
As the melodious bell rang out, ripples spread across the stone door.
A moment later, an indistinguishable voice rang out.
"Why are you disturbing this emperor’s rest?"
His voice was filled with unfathomable majesty, as it clearly resounded in everyone's hearts.
The Grand Elder fell to his knees with a "thump" sound. "Disturbing the ancestor's cultivation is worthy of death. However, there's one thing we want the ancestor to decide!"
The ancestor's voice seemed to come from the nine heavens. "Li Daoshi… I remember you. What happened?"
Grand Elder lamented, "Patriarch's son, Li Ran, has no sense of justice. He is a member of the same family, yet he crippled my son Li Sheng's cultivation. Please give me justice, ancestor!"
His voice was miserable as if he had suffered a great grievance.
In order to confirm his words, he had even brought Li Sheng, who was unconscious, with him. He was lying on the ground.
"There is actually such a thing?" The ancestor’s voice contained a bit of anger.
Li Daoyuan's brows jumped, and he hurriedly kneeled on the ground. "It was Li Sheng who attacked Li Ran's fiancée first. Ancestor, please!"
"Xiao Qingge isn't from our Li family! Moreover, she was safe and sound, yet my son's cultivation was crippled!"
The ancestor’s dignified voice sounded, "Li Daoyuan, is what he said true?"
Li Daoyuan's heart thumped a thousand times, but in the end, he sighed helplessly. "It's true…."
The great emperor's divine abilities were unfathomable, able to see through the past and present. There was no point in lying.
If he angered the ancestor, Li Ran would end up in an even more miserable state.
Li Daoyuan was determined. Even if he didn't want the position of the family head, he still had to protect Li Ran.
The ancestor said, "Since that's the case, then we should deal with it according to the family’s rules. We'll abolish his cultivation and demote him to mortality!"
"Ancestor!"
Li Daoyuan exclaimed, "Absolutely not! Ran'er is a saint-grade talent, our Li family's future hope! We must not cripple his cultivation!"
He had wanted to persuade the ancestor to change his mind.
Unexpectedly, the ancestor snorted coldly. "So what if he has a saint-grade talent? A family rule was a family rule! For the sake of beauty, he decided to make a move against his fellow family members, this kind of genius, the Li family does not need!"
His natural talent was ordinary. But he had relied on fortuitous encounters to become a Dao Emperor, so he didn't have a good impression of these geniuses.
These persuasion words were actually not helpful.
Boom!
He fell to the ground with a pale face.
"It's over…"
The grand elder was overjoyed. "Ancestor, thank you for your help!"
As long as he could cripple Li Ran's cultivation, the prestige of the family head would be greatly weakened.
He had a chance to ascend as the family head.
Li Sheng in exchange for Li Ran.
This was not a loss.
Then, the grand elder thought of something and said, "But regarding the punishment of Li Ran, I still have to ask the ancestor to personally take action!"
The ancestor asked in confusion, "Why?"
The Great Elder explained, “Li Ran, that thief, has already entered the Youluo Temple. He is the disciple of an emperor-ranked expert, Leng Wuyan. We will probably infuriate that female demon!"
"Ahem… Whose disciple is he again?"
The grand elder said, "Youluo Temple Master, Leng Wuyan."
The ancestor was silent. "……"
"Ancestor?"
He was still silent.
The air was quiet for a long time.
Just as everyone was confused, the ancestor's voice rang out.
"Li Daoyuan, you said that Li Sheng attacked Li Ran's fiancée, right?"
Li Daoyuan was stunned for a moment before nodding. "Indeed…"
The ancestor replied, "What Li Ran did wasn’t necessarily wrong."
???
The Grand Elder had a black question mark on his face.
"Ancestor! Didn't you just say you're going to cripple…"
The ancestor snapped at him. "I didn't say that. You heard wrong."
Grand Elder Jiao said anxiously, “Then wouldn't my son's cultivation be wasted for nothing?"
He picked up the unconscious Li Sheng and pleaded, "I beg you, Ancestor!"
A wave of ripples appeared on the stone door. A large hand reached out from the stone door and the index finger lightly pressed on the space between Li Sheng's eyebrows.
A scene of real images emerged in the air.
It was all Li Sheng's past actions.
Five years ago, he had killed three people in the Intoxicated Wind Restaurant, only because the other party's voice was too loud.
Three years ago, in the Spring Pavilion, five people were burned to death and three were burned to death.
Two years ago, he broke into someone else's home to rob a civilian girl’s innocence and tortured her to death for four straight days. However, it was all blamed on Li Ran.
A year ago………
Grand Elder was paralyzed on the ground, his face as pale as paper.
The ancestor's voice was sullen. “Such scum is worthy of being a disciple of my Li Family? Even crippling his cultivation was too light!"
His fingers exerted a bit of strength, and Li Sheng's body instantly showed crack marks, before turning into fine sand and dissipating.
He was actually killed by the ancestor.
"Sheng'er!" Grand Elder cried out in grief.
He really couldn't understand why things turned out like this.
The ancestor's voice rang out once more. "Since it’s your fault for not teaching your son properly, you should be punished to face the ancestral shrine wall for three years."
Pu!
The Grand Elder spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
The Fourth Elder and Sixth Elder were shivering.
What was going on?
It was clearly Li Ran who had made a mistake. Why did the ancestor kill Li Sheng?
He had said that his face was unyielding, and he had said that he was upright and unyielding?!
The ancestor said, "If you don't need anything, then leave."
Only then did Li Daoyuan react and kowtow. "Thank you, ancestor!"
The ancestor added, "By the way, when Li Ran returns, ask him to come and see me."
Although Li Daoyuan didn't understand, he still replied, "Yes."
The ripples dissipated, and the stone door returned to calm.
—
Behind the stone door…
A white-bearded old man wiped away his cold sweat.
"F*ck! I didn't expect him to be Leng Wuyan's disciple! I almost fell for it! What if I really crippled him…"
The old man couldn't help but shiver.
"That demoness will cut this old man down!"
