Chapter 153: Northland Teahouse
North Wind City South, Northland Teahouse.

In an antique private room on the second floor, three men and women were sitting at a table.

On the table there was a pot of Pu'er tea with a strong aroma, and there were also several small plates of candied fruits, pastries and crispy candies.

"Ka~ka~"

Si Xianxian sat by the window, holding a handful of melon seeds in her hand, eating them while looking out the window.

This location is really good, you can see the bustling market streets.

"Where is Lu Ran from?"

Yan Shuangzi picked up the teapot and asked while pouring tea for the two of them.

"I am from Wulie River." Lu Ran put one hand beside the teacup and said softly, "Just call me Xiao Lu."

Yan Shuangzi raised her eyes slightly and looked at Lu Ran.

Previously in the martial arts arena, Lu Ran had naturally shown his bravery and fierceness.

Even the arrogance is overwhelming!

Lu Ran had a gloomy face and was approaching Bu Qingfeng step by step. Yan Shuangzi could still vividly remember Bu Qingfeng crawling and begging for mercy as he retreated.

Looking at him again at this moment, Lu Ran, who was speaking in a gentle voice, seemed like a different person.

"Wulie River." Yan Shuangzi put down the teapot and said softly, "It is indeed a place where heroes are born."

Lu Ran picked up the teacup and said, "There are constant wars in the world, and talented people emerge everywhere.

Rather than being a result of the region, it is more likely to be a result of the times.”

Yan Shuangzi smiled and sighed, "I have a close friend who is also from Wulie River. He is as talented and brave as you.

Unfortunately, she was thinking about her hometown and did not stay with me in this North Wind City."

Lu Ran agreed with this in his heart and said, "Your good friend and I are probably the same type of people."

Yan Shuangzi raised her eyebrows slightly: "Will Xiao Lu be like this in the future?"

Lu Ran picked up a red date on the plate and whispered, "I will."

Such tone and words are quite firm.

But Yan Shuangzi had just witnessed Lu Ran's extremely terrifying strength and talent.

Such an extraordinary person does not stay beside the gods he worships to further his studies and ascend to higher places; nor does he yearn for the prosperous and powerful cities under the feet of the powerful gods to seek development.

Instead, choose to stay in your hometown?
"Heh." Yan Shuangzi picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and a hint of reminiscence flashed in her eyes, "They are indeed the same kind of people.

I still remember her saying that her hometown was of little value, old and small.

It is so small that there won’t even be believers of the first or second-class gods to guard it.

So she went back by herself.”

Lu Ran's hand that was picking up the red dates suddenly stopped.

Yan Shuangzi naturally noticed this and asked, "What's going on?"

Lu Ran's heart was moved: "What is the name of your best friend's hometown?"

Yan Shuangzi: "Rain Alley City."

Si Xianxian, who was eating melon seeds at the side, suddenly turned her head and looked at Lu Ran.

Yan Shuangzi vaguely realized something and asked, "Which city is Xiao Lu from?"

Lu Ran asked directly: "Your close friend is called Deng Yuxiang?"

Yan Shuangzi's eyes widened slightly, and after a moment, she couldn't help but laugh: "This world is really small, you recognize her?"

Lu Ran: “.”

I don’t recognize her!
Even if she turned into ashes, I wouldn't necessarily be able to recognize her.

After all, ashes don't have the scent of camellia.

Yan Shuangzi said to herself: "That's right, Yuxiang City is so small, people like you should really get to know each other."

"It's more than just an acquaintance." Lu Ran sighed, "I've been in her team, and we've fought together for several Mid-Autumn Festival nights."

Yan Shuangzi looked at Lu Ran and said, "Since we are comrades in life and death, I guess we have a very close relationship?"

Lu Ran nodded: "I call her sister, not the kind of brother Zhang or sister Wang that colleagues use."

"Oh?" Yan Shuangzi thought about it, then stood up and walked to the clothes rack, and took out a mobile phone from the inside pocket of her cloak.

The call was quickly connected, and a female voice came from it: "Shuang Zi?"

Yan Shuangzi: "Not busy?"

"The team has no missions for now. I'm practicing at home, so I'm not busy."

"Hmm." Yan Shuangzi raised her eyes and looked at Lu Ran. "Guess who I met in Beifeng City?"

Deng Yuxiang chuckled: "How can I guess?"

"Your brother."

"My brother?" Deng Yuxiang was a little confused. "My brother said he was going to Wuling Mountain this month. Why did he go to Beifeng City again?"

"He's not your biological brother." Yan Shuangzi smiled.

The temperature in the house seemed to have risen a little.

Deng Yuxiang immediately asked: "Little Lu Ran?"

"Little Lu Ran?" Yan Shuangzi looked at the boy across the table with interest. "Your little brother is incredible, isn't he?"

"Haha~" Deng Yuxiang laughed, "Why did he go to Beifeng City?

From your tone, he's in trouble?"

Yan Shuangzi picked up a raisin and said, "He just arrived and he killed the guards of Beifeng City so badly that they were thrown into disarray and tumbled to the ground."

On the other end of the phone, Deng Yuxiang was shocked: "What? Give him the phone first!"

The smile on Yan Shuangzi's face became even more intense, and she handed over the phone.

"Sister?" Lu Ran took the phone helplessly.

"Are you injured?" Deng Yuxiang asked.

Hearing these words, Lu Ran felt warm in his heart.

"No, don't listen to your friend's nonsense." Lu Ran explained, "I was sparring with that person in the martial arts arena, and I didn't cause any trouble."

Hearing this, Deng Yuxiang felt relieved, then frowned and asked, "Did the other party provoke you?"

Lu Ran curled his lips and said, "I just shouted at the city gate!

Good guy~
He is still staring at me and making a fuss with me, saying that I am disrespectful to the gods. How can I tolerate him? "

"Yeah." Deng Yuxiang responded in a low voice, "What's your situation now? Are you detained?" "No, I said I was fighting in the martial arts arena, I didn't get into trouble." Lu Ran was helpless, "After it was over, Ms. Yan Shuangzi invited me to have tea."

Deng Yuxiang speculated, "I think you behaved too shockingly. We need to interrogate you. Give the phone to Shuangzi."

Lu Ran handed over the phone.

"Just hands-free." Yan Shuangzi gestured to Lu Ran to put the phone on the table.

Deng Yuxiang: "Who is the one who is looking for trouble?"

Yan Shuangzi was also very convinced!

This really shows the closeness of the relationship. Just by listening to Lu Ran's one-sided statement, Deng Yuxiang made a judgment on the matter.

Yan Shuangzi: "He's a new junior fellow student, you don't know him, I made him kneel in the martial arts arena."

"Didn't you say it was just a competition? Why is there a punishment?"

Yan Shuangzi snorted coldly: "A River Realm believer was killed to pieces by a Creek Realm believer.

He has brought disgrace upon the Beifeng faction!"

"Yes." Deng Yuxiang said softly, "Let him kneel for a few more days."

"Okay." Yan Shuangzi responded casually, playing with the teacup, "When will you come back to visit?"

Deng Yuxiang said, "Shuangzi, protect Lu Ran and don't let him get bullied again.

After this incident, I guess many Beifeng disciples are dissatisfied with him."

Yan Shuangzi was already dissatisfied: "Are you asking for help or ordering people?"

Deng Yuxiang suddenly laughed: "Little girl, do you need to be punished?"

Yan Shuangzi quickly reached out, picked up the phone on the table, and turned off the hands-free mode.

Si Xianxian didn't even eat the melon seeds and looked at Yan Shuangzi in surprise.

Yan Shuangzi is of course extremely strong and overbearing.

However, at this moment, her face was slightly red, and she was saying something to the other side in a reproachful tone.

this.?

Across the table, Lu Ran held the teacup silently, without saying a word.

Good guy~
It’s worthy of being called a nightmare!

No matter how strong the opponent is, Nightmare is still the more powerful one.

After a while, Yan Shuangzi hung up the phone and looked at Lu Ran.

Lu Ran pretended not to see it and ate pistachios.

Don't tell me, it's delicious~
Yan Shuangzi put down her phone and said, "Your sister asked me to take good care of you."

"Don't bother, Ms. Yan, just go do your thing." Lu Ran said quickly, "My teammates and I will go down to the magic cave in a while."

Yan Shuangzi thought for a moment and said, "You are at the fifth stage of the Stream Realm."

"Correct."

"At this level, entering the Demon Cave for training will not improve you much."

"Hmm" Lu Ran hesitated for a moment.

Strictly speaking, at this special level, no matter what Lu Ran does, it won't be of much help to him.

After all, no one knows where the "flash of inspiration" comes from or when it will come.

Yan Shuangzi said softly: "Since you have come all the way here, just stay in the city.

In the next few days, we will exchange sword techniques together, which will at least help your martial arts."

"Ah?" Lu Ran looked at Yan Shuangzi, "You want to teach me?
But I am not a follower of the North Wind, isn't this against the rules?"

Yan Shuangzi is undoubtedly an "inner disciple" of a very high status. It is certainly a great fortune to be able to receive her personal teaching!
Such people live by the side of gods every day, and perhaps often receive guidance from gods!

Of course, Lu Ran would not be so arrogant as to think that his swordsmanship was better than Yan Shuangzi's.

Even Deng Yuxiang probably wouldn't dare to say that!
"Lord Beifeng is magnanimous. All swordsmen in the world can come to Beifeng City to practice." Yan Shuangzi explained, "However, we have limited manpower, so we naturally have to take care of our own disciples first."

I have to admit that Lu Ran was really moved.

Yan Shuangzi smiled and said, "Besides, you are also very strong. It would be a good thing for me to exchange skills with you."

Lu Ran: "Ms. Yan is too modest."

Yan Shuangzi continued: “It’s a pity that you are not a believer of Beifeng.

If you can entrust yourself to the sword, you may be able to comprehend the method of advancement in the process of understanding the sword."

To Lu Ran, the woman's tone did not sound like regret.

Rather, it seems like some kind of reminder?
Just as Lu Ran was thinking secretly, Si Xianxian suddenly said, "Are we not going to the Demon Cave?"

Lu Ran then remembered that there was a living person sitting next to him!
"That's great." Si Xianxian looked excited and continued, "Can I play in the city forever?"

Lu Ran was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay, but you can't go shopping by yourself. You must have me with you."

"Okay!" Si Xianxian was happy to accept it. She turned her head to look out the window and started eating melon seeds again. "It feels good to have someone spend money while shopping~"

Lu Ran: “.”

Yan Shuangzi was quite surprised and looked back and forth between the man and woman.

Of course she knew that this girl was a follower of Lietian.

She also saw with her own eyes that Lu Ran had suppressed the girl's anger time and time again in the martial arts arena before.

It was really hard for Yan Shuangzi to understand why such a violent believer of Lietian could be so well-behaved next to Lu Ran.

Lu Ran was aware of the other person's gaze. He reached out and picked up the teapot, pouring tea for Yan Shuangzi:

"I'll trouble you to teach me in the next few days."

"Yeah." Yan Shuangzi held her chin with one hand and looked at the polite Lu Ran with a smile.

From the first time they met until now, Lu Ran gave her the feeling of being a collection of contradictions.

He is also an extremely special and mysterious guy, which makes people extremely curious.

Yan Shuangzi picked up the teacup and accepted Lu Ran's offer of tea:
"Since little Lu Ran is so strong, why did he become a follower of the Immortal Sheep?"

"That's a long story."

"It's still early, the tea can be refilled."

Si Xianxian suddenly asked, "Can melon seeds be used?"
