Chapter 116: Release from Prison and Trial

The ninth day of the tenth month, at the feet of the witch crow.

A group of soldiers, accompanied by a young man and woman, walked out of the central building of the barracks as if they were escorting prisoners.

The sky over Rain Alley City was as gloomy as ever.

Under the continuous rain, a middle-aged woman holding an umbrella watched her daughter being escorted out. She hurried forward:

"I'm sorry to trouble you. I'm sorry to trouble you."

Si Caiqin said to several soldiers with an apologetic look on his face.

The soldiers all acted in a businesslike manner, gave some instructions to the family members, and then turned and left.

Lu Ran and Si Xianxian were left behind, standing in the cold rain, facing Si Caiqin who came to lead the people.

Si Xianxian still looked indifferent, glancing away and not looking at her mother.

Lu Ran was full of guilt: "Aunt Si."

"Get in the car first, and talk in the car." Si Caiqin stepped forward, held an umbrella for Lu Ran, and took him to the parking lot.

Si Xianxian pouted, being drenched in the rain alone, following the two of them.

I don’t even know whose biological mother you are!
As the trio got into the car, Lu Ran explained, "Auntie, it's not what you think, and this is mainly my fault."

"Don't speak for her." Si Caiqin smiled bitterly and shook her head. "I know what my daughter is like."

"What do I look like?" In the back seat, Si Xianxian suddenly got angry.

"What do you mean by that?" Si Caiqin looked up at the rearview mirror, looking very disappointed, "Look at you, you're fighting with someone again!
How many times have you been punished? Don’t you learn your lesson?
If you continue to deduct your believer points, you won’t even be qualified to enter the Demon Cave!"

Si Xianxian snorted, nonchalantly: "If you don't want to go in, then don't go in. Why can't you gain experience?
On the night of the 15th, I will still kill people indiscriminately!

If they don't let me enter the demon cave, how can they stop the evil demon Fifteen from invading the city?"

Si Caiqin was very angry: "You you!"

Lu Ran suddenly turned his head and looked behind him: "Don't talk yet."

Si Xianxian turned to look at Lu Ran, opened her mouth, and all the words in her mind were stuck.

"Hmph!" Finally, she turned her head angrily and looked out the car window.

Si Caiqin was shocked!
No one knows a daughter better than her mother. She knew very well that her daughter, who had been detained for several days, had been harboring resentment for a long time, and she was venting it at this moment.

In this situation, even as a mother, she might not be able to stop this violent daughter.

However, Lu Ran seemed to have some magical power. With just one sentence, he calmed down the emotional Si Xianxian.

"Auntie, Xianxian is very obedient and has always behaved well." Lu Ran looked at the woman beside him and said apologetically, "Let's go home first and talk in detail when we get home."

"Okay." Si Caiqin started the car and looked at the rearview mirror again.

Si Xianxian opened the car window, let the cold rain fall on her face, and took a deep breath.

More than twenty minutes later, we arrived at Yuxiang Home Community.

Lu Ran opened the door and invited the guests in.

"Meow?" The little tabby cat jumped out immediately and looked at them curiously.

Compared with the first visit, this time Si Xianxian was not polite at all. She went straight to the sofa and sat down.

"Get up and go into the house to worship the gods first!" Si Caiqin scolded.

"No need, Auntie, don't disturb the gods." Lu Ran walked quickly into the house and closed the door of the small bedroom.

He returned to the living room, looked at Si Caiqin's unhappy expression, and then looked at Si Xianxian's carefree look.
If the mother and daughter were allowed to stay like this, a quarrel would break out sooner or later.

"Sister Xian'er."

"What?" Si Xianxian was in a bad mood and spoke in an aggressive tone.

Since she was released from prison two days ago, she has been watched and escorted out of the country by soldiers.

No matter who you are, it is impossible for you to be in a good mood.

"The cat food in the automatic feeder is almost gone." Lu Ran came to the sofa.

Si Xianxian said impatiently: "Then what?"

Lu Ran pointed in the direction of the kitchen: "In the upper cabinets, there is cat food in the first cabinet."

Si Xianxian reacted for a moment, then pointed at her own nose, eyes full of disbelief: "You want me to go?"

Lu Ran smiled and said, "Go ahead. There's not much water left. Remember to add some water for the cat."

Si Xianxian was stunned for a long time, then suddenly reached out and grabbed Lu Ran by the collar and pulled him directly in front of her face.

She put her thin lips close to Lu Ran's ear, gritted her teeth, and whispered, "I am your team member, not your servant!"

Lu Ran whispered, "You don't want to train with your aunt forever, do you?"

Si Xianxian's breathing paused slightly!
Lu Ran whispered, "You got into a fight again. From now on, Auntie will only watch you more closely.

No matter where you go, Auntie will always be by your side."

"Hmm." Si Xianxian frowned slightly and closed her eyes.

After just two or three seconds, she pushed Lu Ran to stand up and carefully smoothed the wrinkles on his collar:
"Is the cat food in the first cupboard?"

"Yeah." Lu Ran responded softly.

It can be seen that Si Xianxian tried very hard to put on a gentle smile.

Unfortunately, her expression was too stiff, and she was obviously trying hard to endure something: "I'll get it right away."

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

As Si Xianxian walked, her slippers made a snapping sound.

"Sit down, Auntie." Lu Ran pointed to the sofa. "You see, she is really obedient."

Si Caiqin: “.”

"That's what happened." Lu Ran sat across from the coffee table and told Aunt Si exactly what had happened.

After listening to it, Si Caiqin finally realized that her daughter fought this time to stand up for Lu Ran.

"Sorry, Auntie." Lu Ran did feel guilty.

The mother handed her daughter to me, but I ended up getting Si Xianxian into jail and having points deducted from her.

"So, there is indeed a reason for this." Si Caiqin's tone became much calmer.

"Huh?" Si Xianxian was squatting in front of the automatic feeding machine. Hearing this, she turned her head and looked at her mother.

Her face was full of surprise. Her mother had finally come to her senses? Si Caiqin said earnestly: "If every time you fight, it's for your teammates, then I will never blame you."

Si Xianxian pursed her lips and looked at Lu Ran with her beautiful eyes.

Sure enough, being favored is different!
"Meow~" The little tabby cat came to the feet of its beautiful sister, tilted its little head, and looked at Si Xianxian curiously.

Si Xianxian snorted.

It’s okay, at least there are still people who like me in this world.

Si Xianxian stretched out her hand and pretended to hug the little Lihua in her arms.

"Meow~" The little tabby cat was very agile and turned around and ran away.

Only Si Xianxian was left, standing alone and disheveled in front of the feeding machine.

The next moment, Si Xianxian stood up suddenly: "Come here!"

"Si Xianxian!" Si Caiqin scolded, "How old are you? Why are you competing with a cat?"

Si Xianxian's chest heaved up and down, and she said angrily: "This bastard is trying to trick me, but he thinks I'm a black croaker!"

"Mea~~~"

Suddenly, there was the sound of sheep bleating.

Si Xianxian immediately held her forehead with one hand and her body swayed slightly.

"Meow~" The little tabby cat ran back and jumped into Lu Ran's arms.

"Hey!" Lu Ran came to Si Xianxian and put the little raccoon in the girl's arms, "Be gentle."

"I don't want to." Si Xianxian turned and walked to the living room window, looking at the rain scene outside the window angrily.

Lu Ran stood there holding the kitten in his arms and smiled helplessly.

On the sofa, Si Caiqin gradually came back to her senses, the caring look in her eyes remained the same: "Xiao Lu, don't worry about her, come and sit down."

“Auntie, I will often look for Xianxian in the future and go down to the demon cave to train together.”

As Lu Ran spoke, he walked to the window and put Little Lihua into Si Xianxian's arms: "Go, play with your sister."

Si Xianxian pouted, and it was not until Lu Ran pushed her away again that she reluctantly reached out and hugged the little guy.

Lu Ran turned his head and looked at Si Caiqin, his face solemn: "I promise you, this kind of thing will never happen again!"

"Thank you, Xiao Lu." Si Caiqin said gratefully, "I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Although some accidents happened, Si Caiqin did not blame Lu Ran. Instead, she was a little worried about whether her daughter could "pass the review."

Deep down, Si Caiqin hoped that Lu Ran could take Si Xianxian with him.

Apart from this powerful and extremely special young man, Si Caiqin really couldn't find any other warrior who could accompany her daughter.

As she had said before, she no longer had the ability to keep up with Si Xianxian's pace and could no longer accompany her on her adventures.

Si Caiqin was also very clear that once she left, her daughter would be out of control and would only get into more and more trouble.

Until one day.
My daughter might end up like those Lietian believers.

"It's not a problem. Sister Xian'er takes good care of me. This is not a polite remark. She is also capable of taking care of me."

As he spoke, Lu Ran sighed: "This world is so dangerous, the living environment is getting worse day by day, and everyone is in danger.

I can meet her, become stronger with her, and face all kinds of dangers together in the future.
It’s my pleasure too.”

Si Xianxian remained silent and gently stroked the cat in her arms.

Listening to Lu Ran's words, the irritability and anger in her heart gradually dissipated.

"Okay, Auntie understands." Si Caiqin was a little excited.

"Look at me." Lu Ran suddenly changed the subject and slapped his hand on his forehead, "I forgot to pour water for you."

"No, no, we won't bother you any more." Si Caiqin stood up and said, "I'll take Xianxian back first.

After the fifteenth, if Xiao Lu is convenient, you can contact Xianxian."

Now that Lu Ran has made his position clear, Si Caiqin has a lot to say and wants to talk to her daughter in private.

Si Xianxian, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly looked at Lu Ran and asked, "Do you live alone?"

Lu Ran: “Ah?”

"Xianxian, stop messing around." Si Caiqin naturally understood what her daughter meant.

Si Xianxian said as a matter of course: "He just said that I have the ability to protect him, so let's start from the night of the fifteenth."

Si Caiqin: “.”

I just want to ask Xiao Lu to take you to form a team for training. Are you really that capable? Do you want to live in someone else's house directly?

How much do you want to stay away from me? Don't you even want to go home?
Lu Ran said, "I have a mission on the night of the 15th."

"If you're not welcome, forget it." Si Xianxian snorted and put the tabby cat on the windowsill.

Lu Ran realized that the other party had misunderstood him, and spoke again: "I really have a mission."

"Bullshit!" Si Xianxian looked at Lu Ran with her beautiful eyes, "Last month, your Yuxiang City just experienced the advent of the Demon Lord.

How can you, a senior high school student, be assigned the task of defending the city?"

Lu Ran smiled and said, "The school does not have any city defense mission.

But I have to patrol with the people from the Moon-Watching Brigade of the Yunshan City Divine People's Bureau."

"Oh?" Si Xianxian raised her eyebrows.

Such a response was totally unexpected to her.

This guy actually has a mission?

Si Caiqin on the side was also a little surprised, thinking that Lu Ran was making an excuse to shirk responsibility.

I didn't expect this young man to be so outrageous!
A high school student from Xijing, third grade, carrying out a mission together with the people from the Mochizuki Branch of the Shenmin Bureau?
And it's patrol?
I have accumulated so much merit to be able to meet this young man in the dark cave.
"You" Si Xianxian hesitated to speak and looked at Lu Ran again.

She had repeated this kind of "re-examination" many times during her previous training.

Lu Ran smiled and sent a classic expression to the other party: "You can also apply for it, it's quite simple.

Anyway, I was approved as soon as I applied~"

Si Xianxian: ???
