"Li Ran, this place is the imperial superintendent of my Royal Academy, and I can't tolerate half of vanity and lies, you ...... Are you sure you are responsible for what you just said?"

The empress looked at the handsome young man on the stage fixedly, hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke.

Of course, Li Ran could hear that this empress was giving herself one last chance to go down the stairs.

However, all have already flown so high that this time ......

He really doesn't want to come down anymore!

Just now, when he was angry with the audience and angry at the eldest princess Xiao Lingqiu, he truly comprehended an eternal truth that runs through the heavens and all worlds-

Pretending to be cool for a while, pretending to be cool all the time!

"Your Majesty, of course the minister is willing to take responsibility for what he says and does, or that sentence, please wait and see. ”

Li Ran smiled elegantly at the empress, and then swept his eyes under the stage, and he found that not only Xiao Wan'er, but also many young girls from the Xiao family's royal family in the audience looked at him with anticipation and nervousness, and suddenly, his heart became more comfortable.

He found that in his bones, he still enjoyed this feeling of being a star in the spotlight.

After making the decision to come to power, he also completely let himself go.

Eyes moved back to the stage, at this time, the eunuchs of the imperial school supervisor had already placed a hundred long candles, and at a glance, it was quite spectacular.

"Li Shilang, the hundred ever-bright candles you want have been placed for you, look at this formation, are you still satisfied?"

That Elder Xiao Wuxin said coldly.

"Satisfied, of course satisfied!" Li Ran nodded.

"Li Shilang is satisfied. ”

The male elder Du Jianxiong answered in a strange manner: "Next, we are going to see your magic skills, but Elder Ben reminds you, now that Your Majesty is here, and hundreds of my royal children have witnessed, if you can't extinguish these hundred candles, it will not only be as simple as depriving yourself of identity and expelling from the palace, but also a big crime of bullying the king - that is to kill your head." ”

Hehe, the old thing is quite good at mending knives.

Li Ran sneered in his heart, he knew very well that these words should have been deliberately said to the empress by Xiao Lingqiu's instructions.

The intent couldn't be more obvious.

Once these words are thrown to the surface, if he Li Ran can't extinguish the candle flame at that time, even if the empress wants to protect him again, I'm afraid there will be nothing she can do.

After all, so many royal children are watching, Li Ran bullied the monarch in public, if you don't kill him as an emperor, what imperial majesty will there be in the future? How to restrain the children of the clan?

If Li Ran guessed correctly, at this moment, Xiao Lingqiu's heart was probably already happy, after all, in her eyes, he Li Ran had no chance of extinguishing these hundred candles, which was equivalent to asking for his own death.

And once he Li Ran is GG, is his weak father in Dali Temple still the opponent of their "Xiangdang" group?

The vacancy of Shaoqing in Dali Temple naturally had to be vacated again and fall into the hands of their own people.

It's a pity, the real director of this script is Lao Tzu!

A group of ignorant younger brothers.

Li Ran shook his head, and before pretending to be forced, he still felt a little lonely and lonely.

Inadvertently, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the empress in the front row, and at this moment, his phoenix eyes were moved, and he looked at him nervously!

Yes, that look was not her usual indifference and coldness, but a bit of genuine concern and nervousness!

Eyes can't deceive people.

This is his life credo as a werewolf killer.

"Well, it seems that this empress completely treats Lao Tzu as her own, but it's no wonder that she doesn't need her holy decree at all, and she will be a family soon. 」

"How can a mother-in-law not care about her son-in-law?"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Xiao Wan'er again, only to see this girl clenching her little fists with both hands, a delicate little mouth pursed into a line, staring at him intently, her eyes were full of worry.

Suddenly, Li Ran had mixed feelings in his heart, recalling the bizarre fate with this girl in this life, and his heart slowly ...... I don't even feel disgusted anymore!

The last time I saw her like this was when I was facing the blackbird when she was dying, right?

Li Ran sighed in his heart.

Oh, no! She doesn't treat Lao Tzu like a pet, does she?

His heart jumped, and then he interrupted the thoughts in his heart, stared at the ever-bright candle in front of him, settled his mind, and condensed a long and vast magic trick in his mind - "Circle Induction Chapter - Scattering Spirits"!

It turned out that when Xiao Wan'er was standing up for herself, Li Ran used the talent of "Scholarly Sage" and the encyclopedia knowledge base in his mind to simulate many ways to extinguish the candle flame.

He found that with his existing cultivation of the first layer of Qi cultivation, coupled with the palm power of the third "Serious Palm" of the "Six Divine Palms of Creation", the true power released could extinguish the flames of four Everbright Candles at most at one time.

If there is more, it will not be possible, this is already the limit.

Of course, he can't achieve the crushing effect he wants to pursue!

Since you have decided to pretend to be this force, you must keep improving and pretend to the extreme.

What? You say that there are three forms behind the six divine palms of creation?

I'm sorry, that's an authentic and domineering killing technique, it's not at all used to pretend to be forced on this occasion.

Fortunately, Li Ran's brain teaser turned and he thought of a clever trick.

He decided to start with the "Everbright Candle" itself.

Yes, this thousand-year-old candle seems magical to mortals, but in fact, under the reflection of Li Ran's spiritual sense, it is essentially just paraffin inlaid with many spiritual patterns.

Its internal structure is very simple, and the spiritual power contained in it is not very strong, however, these things are intertwined layer by layer in it, forming a complex and stable spiritual web, or to put it more bluntly, it is -

A rudimentary circle.

I have to say that although this group of human monks has limited Taoism, they are really ingenious, and they use their wisdom to bring their only skills to the extreme.

What is a circle?

With Li Ran's current knowledge domain in the Qi cultivation period, he still can't accurately describe it in words, but he knows a constant and unchanging truth-

"There is no invincible spell in this world, but there is a formation that tends to be invincible. 」

This sentence, he naturally can't understand the true meaning of this sentence at present, but it can basically reflect the power of the magic circle.

You don't see that his "Tiangang Five Thunder Array" yesterday slaughtered five martial arts masters, and it was effortless.

To get back to the point, there are many ways to destroy a circle, but the simplest and most straightforward is to start with the internal structure of the circle.

Such a miniature magic circle like the inside of the Everbright Candle, Li Ran's spiritual sense was projected, and it was almost unobstructed to see its structure, using the current formation knowledge, a rudimentary-level formation-breaking spell "Soul Scattering Technique" was completely enough to disperse its spiritual power and completely destroy it!

......

"Li Shilang, what are you doing, let Your Majesty wait for you? If not, let's come down as soon as possible and excuse yourself!"

The male elder Du Jianxiong said coldly, he was about to say a few more words, but when he saw a sharp phoenix eye looking at him, he quickly closed his mouth.

However, he can be regarded as saying all the doubts in the hearts of everyone present.

After all, Li Ran had been standing on it for nearly a minute, his eyes were closed, and he didn't make the slightest movement, which had to make people suspect that his previous astonishing words were just simple madness.

Time passed bit by bit, and at this moment, even some county lord girls who were crazy to help him stand in line couldn't help but feel deeply disappointed, and regretted that a generation of beautiful men was about to fall and die because of the great crime of bullying the king.

Although Xiao Lingqiu and the others were silent on the surface, they had secretly sentenced Li Ran to death in their hearts.

Naturally, they didn't know that with Li Ran's cultivation at this stage, he relied heavily on Fu Lu's guidance to perform this kind of energy-efficient formation breaking technique, and he didn't carry Fu Lu now, so he could only slowly condense the method and seal the void like the previous "flower cultivation technique".

However, even though there was not a single knowledgeable monk in the audience, there were still two women who looked at the stage intently.

At this moment, their god-like beautiful eyes are full of indescribable trust and expectation, firmly believing that the young man on the stage who seems to be stunned will make a feat that will amaze the audience in the next second!

And the next second, it seems to be this moment!

"It's done. ”

Li Ran opened his eyes, his eyes were like stars twinkling, bursting out with a faint spiritual light, and then he took a deep step, his upper body was as straight as a pine and cypress, and his dantian exerted his strength, and his palms full of true power were scolding endlessly in front of his chest, condensing the magic trick!

Call.

He was calm, opened his mouth slightly, and spit out a faint flicker, like a cloud of white practice!

A miracle happened!

In the shocking gaze of the audience, that Bai Lian was flying towards the Changming candle in front of him at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye, and wherever he passed, the candle flame was extinguished instantly, and the candle body disintegrated into powder, and the picture was extremely mysterious!

The powerful visual shock made everyone take a deep breath, however, they didn't have time to think and be shocked!

I saw that Bai Lian flew faster and faster, and in an instant, all the hundred ever-bright candles turned into powder!

"It's ugly. ”

Li Ran's face was calm, and he looked at the audience with a wide eye.

Not a single person made a sound.

Everyone is still immersed in this sudden change!

You must know that Xie Huan, the son of Wujue before, even used his family heirloom to barely extinguish the three ever-bright candles, and the young man in front of him just spit out, and within a radius of ten meters, all of them turned into wax ashes!

This is no longer a superior judgment, this is clearly between different magnitudes, like the different forces of the abyss!

"Unintentional...... With your ability, if you use that trick of the Xiao family's emperor, you can extinguish a few candles at most?" The male elder on the side, Du Jianxiong, with a pale face, looked at his wife.

"At most, dozens, I'm afraid...... There's still the possibility of exhaustion. The corners of Xiao Wuxin's mouth twitched.

"This son...... What the hell is sacred?"

Xiao Wuxin muttered, glancing at his niece and granddaughter Xiao Lingqiu on the side, only to see her staring at the void with dull eyes, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Xie Huan, the gentleman next to her, bit his lower lip even more, clenched into a fist, his body was weakened by excessive internal strength, trembling slightly, and there was obvious frustration and unwillingness on his handsome face!

Everything was naturally seen by Li Ran.

He's now.

It's really cool to explode!

However, what surprised him a little was that the most dazzling and tall Celestial Maiden in the crowd seemed very calm, just smiling faintly at him.

That smile was so gentle that he couldn't help but tremble!

Yes, if this forced is recognized by this future mother-in-law, it will be a real big gain!

Li Ran's heart was surging, and he felt that the calm and calm expression on his face was almost overwhelmed!

He's really going to laugh out loud!

Wait a minute, what about Xiao Wan'er?

"Li Ran! You really did it! You are simply too powerful!"

A girl's voice as crisp and pleasant as a yellow oriole came—

Li Ran looked back and saw a slender and delicate girl, smiling like a crescent moon, walking with a pair of slender long legs, three steps and two steps to pounce!

Li Ran was stunned for a moment, perhaps because he was too happy in his heart, so he spread his arms and politely hugged the girl in front of him, as if he was holding a kitten who was excited to return home.

It's just that this kitten is too crazy, she screamed excitedly, and smashed Li Ran's chest excitedly with her small fist!

On the other side, the daughter of destiny, who was proud of the world, looked at everything on the stage in a daze, looking like she was stupid.

"Your Majesty, Princess Wan'er has such a husband, it is really a blessing from heaven!"

Gonggong Qiu on the side observed his words and quickly smiled.

"yes. ”

The empress nodded, and in an instant, the phoenix eyes that looked down on everything seemed to be red, "Gonggong Qiu, do you know what reminds me of this situation?"

As soon as he heard this, Gonggong Qiu quickly showed a look of sudden realization, opened his mouth, wanted to say but didn't dare to say it.

"I remembered that the first emperor and I were like this, but ......" the empress said to herself, her eyes were full of emotion: "He is not as handsome as Li Ran, and I am not as lively as Wan'er." ”

Seeing the lord's expression, Gonggong Qiu was about to open his mouth to comfort, but the empress had already walked in front of her eldest daughter, Xiao Lingqiu, who was standing alone in the corner in a daze.

Suddenly, today's strongest woman and the recognized future daughter of destiny confronted each other like this, cold and silent.

"You've disappointed me. The empress said lightly.

"Erchen doesn't understand what the mother emperor means!"

Xiao Lingqiu bowed down in fear, and in an instant, he seemed to think of something, hesitated again and again, but gritted his teeth and said: "The selection of Li Ran to power this time was done by the two elders by chance, and the sons didn't know about it!"

The empress stared coldly and said: "It has nothing to do with this Li Ran, your personality is very similar to when I was young, but your approach is too stupid, and this is what makes me sad." ”

Xiao Lingqiu's body trembled, bowed his head and was silent.

"Do you know why I and your father didn't kill Xiao Wuxin and Du Jianxiong back then? Because these two people have extremely soft bones, they can't make a big deal, leaving them to sit in the sect affairs court and maintain the balance of the clan, which can be regarded as making the best use of these two wastes. ”

"On weekdays, when you interact with Zhang Ningfu and his gang and recruit politicians, I will open one eye and close one eye, because I feel from the bottom of my heart that this can just reflect and exercise your political talent, of course, provided that it does not exceed my bottom line......"

"And now, you have actually put your hand into the Sect Affairs Yuan, are you planning to rebel!"

The empress's tone was cold and fierce, like the anger of a god, and an invisible terrifying coercion suddenly shrouded her!

"The mother emperor is angry......! Erchen has my troubles!" Xiao Lingqiu looked horrified, gritted his teeth, and plucked up his courage to say.

"You're afraid of your second sister, I know. ”

The empress's expression softened a little, and after a long time, she sighed: "You only need to know one thing, my promise and advice to you that day are still the same, what is yours will always be yours, as for your second sister, if you are afraid of her, will I not be able to cure her?"

"Emperor Xie, Emperor Mother's words made his sons and daughters enlightened, and since then, he should wholeheartedly assist Emperor Mother in handling court affairs, and will never do anything recklessly!"

Xiao Lingqiu's voice was choked, and his eyes were sincere.

"I hope so. ”

The empress glanced at her eldest daughter deeply, "As for the Li family's father and son, in a short period of time, you don't want to worry about them." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Lingqiu's body was shocked, and he looked at his mother in amazement.

"Do you have to explain what I said?"

The empress raised her head and turned her gaze to the handsome young man on the stage, surrounded by a group of princes and county lords.

After a long time, she pursed her lips and said: "Just like Zhang Ningfu's "Xiangdang", he is my person. ”
