Inside the courtyard, three figures soon appeared out of thin air, it was Lin Ran Li Ba as well as the old woman.
“Alright, the mother-in-law is in the courtyard, you guys can go straight there!”
The old man said calmly, and then turned to leave.
“Many thanks!”
Lin Ran bowed at the old woman before turning around and leading Li Ba towards the courtyard.
Inside the courtyard, Granny Plum Blossom was still sitting on her recliner, her face very peaceful.
If one were not in the Plum Blossom Sect, anyone in her place would not have thought that such an old woman would actually be the head of a sect.
“Arrived? Come in!”
Suddenly, Granny Plum Blossom sat up straight and shouted out at the courtyard.
“Granny really has good ears!”
A voice came over, followed by Lin Ran and Li Ba walking straight over.
“Granny has good ears, but unfortunately her eyes are as good as blind, otherwise she wouldn’t have missed a good talent like you a few years ago!”
Granny Meihua said with a bitter smile.
“Granny is joking!”
Lin Ran laughed helplessly.
“I’m not joking!”
Granny Plum Blossom, however, had a serious face as she recalled.
“The first time we met, it was still at the Ten Thousand Ren Ren Mountains, back then who would have thought that a kid with no clan or sect would dare to confront the Compulsion Pavilion, and even later overthrow it?”
“It was just a fluke!”
Lin Ran laughed.
“A fluke? If overthrowing the Compulsion Pavilion was a fluke, then punching the Yue Family was also a fluke?”
Granny Meihua laughed.
Back then, during the journey to the Ten Thousand Ren Mountains, their Plum Blossom Sect belonged to one of the three great powers.
And what about Lin Ran at that time? It was just a small ant that anyone could crush.
Not to mention the Yue Family at that time, even the Compulsion Pavilion could easily trample on him.
But such a small person had not only destroyed the Compulsion Pavilion, but now he had even defeated the Yue Family and dared not speak.
As for their Plum Blossom Sect, there was even less to say.
“Whenever I think of these things, I am deeply grateful that old woman, I am grateful that Lindsay and you were good friends back then, and that our Plum Blossom Sect did not cross paths with you!”
Granny Meihua lamented.
“Granny is joking, I’m sure granny knows what I’m here for this time, so why not tell me where she is?”
Lin Ran got straight to the point!
“She’s in our Plum Blossom Sect, only she can’t meet with you yet!”
Granny Plum Blossom said.
“Why?”
Lin Ran frowned.
“Because she has a choice to make!”
Granny Meihua looked at Lin Ran with determination in her eyes.
“What choice does granny want her to make?”
Lin Ran not only blushed ugly at the sight, he asked after her.
“It’s simple!”
Granny Meihua’s words also turned a few degrees colder as she spoke.
“I want her to inherit the position of the head of my Plum Blossom Sect!”
“That’s a good thing! But why are you imprisoning him?”
Lin Ran questioned.
To be able to inherit the Plum Blossom Sect, this was definitely a great opportunity for Ling Sa, but Lin Ran just couldn’t understand why he had to imprison Ling Sa when it was clearly a good thing.
“Because of you!”
Granny Plum Blossom looked at Lin Ran.
“Because of me?”
Lin Ran was stunned, not understanding why.
“For hundreds of years, my Plum Blossom Sect has always had a female headmaster, and when it came to my area it was no exception!”
“But do you know what the downside of a female headmaster is?”
Granny Plum Blossom looked at Lin Ran.
“What do you mean?”
Lin Ran frowned slightly, as if he thought of something.
“You know clearly in your heart! The biggest disadvantage of a female Sect Leader is marriage!”
“Once Lin Ran becomes the Sect Head, if she is still involved with you, it will inevitably put my Mei Hua Sect in a dilemma, something that the ancestors will definitely not allow to happen!”
Granny Plum Blossom looked at Lin Ran and said seriously.
“That’s why every candidate for the head of my Plum Blossom Sect has strict rules!”
“Either, they can’t marry for the rest of their lives, or the man must also be a Plum Blossom Party son or daughter!”
Speaking here, Granny Plum Blossom looked towards Lin Ran and solemnly said.
“So, now you have two choices, either join our Plum Blossom Sect, so that Lin Ran can also gain freedom and inherit the position of Sect Leader!”
“Either that! Just wait until after Lin Sha inherits the headship before you can meet!”
“Absolutely not!”
Lin Ran sniffed and waved his hand in refusal.
“The Xingwu Mountain date is near, Lin Sha and I are teammates in a squad, so we must come with me to Xingwu Mountain!”
Lin Ran said seriously.
“Lin Ran! You’re thinking too simply!”
Granny Plum Blossom, however, laughed and waved her hand.
“Although our Plum Blossom Sect is not as powerful as the Mystic Alliance? And no one is more powerful than you, does Ken know why our Plum Blossom Sect still has a spot to enter the Mystic Alliance to cultivate?”
Granny Plum Blossom laughed.
“Your Plum Blossom Sect and the Mysterious Alliance have cooperation!”
Lin Ran frowned.
“That’s right! You’re very clever! But there’s one thing you definitely wouldn’t have thought of!”
Granny Plum Blossom laughed.
“Actually, every time our Plum Blossom Sect chooses a disciple to send over, they are all candidates for the Plum Blossom Sect’s Sect Head!”
“So! For Ling Sa, she has the right not to go to Xing Wu Mountain to participate in the battle, and this is also the privilege given to our sect by the Mysterious Alliance!”
“Not to go and participate in the battle?”
Lin Ran was stunned at his words.
This choice was definitely unacceptable.
For example, back then, Yue Qunshan, he had left Qiong Hua Mountain without permission and had no intention of going to Xing Wu Mountain, once the time had pa*sed what awaited him would definitely be the Mysterious Alliance’s retaliation.
But now, Lin Lin is different, she has the right to choose not to participate in the war, so that her personal safety is naturally also greatly protected.
At this moment, Lin Ran even hesitated whether he should still persist or not, after all, what he insisted on might put Ling Sa in deep danger.
“Now! Do you still think you’re doing her good?”
Granny Meihua looked at Lin Ran with a smile in her eyes.
Lin Ran was silent, for a long time, and suddenly he raised his head, a cold aura shooting out of his eyes.
“I demand that she be allowed to come out and make her own choice! If she is bent on staying in the Plum Blossom Sect, I, Lin Ran, have nothing to say! But if she doesn’t want to, you can’t stop her! No one can! And no one can stop her!”
Lin Ran’s voice was icy cold, and there was determination in his words.
“Huh! Lin Ran do you think she would still be imprisoned now if she was willing?”
Granny Plum Blossom’s face also turned icy cold.
“My Plum Blossom Sect, we pay tens of millions of dollars every year to earn a place to cultivate on Qiong Hua Mountain, and no one can bargain with our Plum Blossom Sect when it comes to the choice of the headship!”
“Not even Ling Sa! She came from the Plum Blossom Sect and grew up in the Plum Blossom Sect, it was all her fate!”
Said Granny Plum Blossom, looking towards Lin Ran with determination in her eyes.
“You may be strong, but don’t presume to challenge a sect, especially if you’re still in one! A clan’s depths are not something you can imagine!”
“If you want to fight to the death, I promise you! Even if you risk your life, you won’t be able to take Ling Sa away!”
“You!”
There was anger in Lin Ran’s eyes.
But he was also clear that at this point, coming to blows would not solve the problem at all.
Granny Meihua was right, never underestimate any clan, they must have their own merits if they could stand for so many years.
“Granny! How on earth will you let me see Ling Sa!”
Lin Ran’s eyes were cold as he looked at Granny Meihua and questioned.
“I said! No one can see her until she chooses!”
Granny Meihua’s voice was firm and irrefutable.
