Chapter 173 A Flower of the Other Shore
Qiao Yuanxi looked at Lu Ran in astonishment, stammering.

Although the brother and sister quarrel a lot, their relationship is real.

When facing his own brother, Qiao Yuanxi not only has the dependence formed in childhood, but also a hint of admiration.

She was willing to believe Lu Ran, even though the news sounded like a fairy tale.

"Brother Ran?" Niu Zhengzheng opened his big eyes like copper bells and turned to look at Lu Ran, "Is this true?"

Xiao Yusong also looked at the rearview mirror, looking at Lu Ran in the mirror with surprise.

Guan Yiren, who was sitting on the other side, also turned her head slightly and glanced sideways.

"Are you also participating in "Tianjiao"? " Qiao Yuanxi finally asked.

"Hehe~" Lu Ran looked at his sister's cute appearance and said, "I won't participate."

"Tsk~" Qiao Yuanxi interrupted Lu Ran and rolled her eyes at him.

Still feeling unsatisfied, she patted Lu Ran's arm again: "You just want to fool me!"

For a moment, everyone in the car had different expressions.

Niu Zhengzheng slapped his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief: "I was scared to death."

Only Xiao Yusong and Guan Yiren were still looking at Lu Ran quietly.

Lu Ran turned his head and looked out the window, and asked again, "Who's going?"

Niu Zhengzheng: ???

Everyone: "."

"Hey? You!" Qiao Yuanxi clenched her fist and punched Lu Ran's chest, "Doesn't your conscience hurt?
Why are you still telling lies back and forth? Tell the truth now!"

"Come and join in." Lu Ran said hurriedly.

"No, buddy!"

Niu Zhengzheng was so numb that he couldn't stand Lu Ran's repeated jumping around.

Qiao Yuanxi leaned forward slightly, her big eyes sparkling as she carefully examined Lu Ran's expression.

Lu Ran held two swords in his arms and used the handles of the swords to shield the girl's face from view through a layer of cloth.

"Why?" Qiao Yuanxi moved the knife handle away, extremely curious.

Lu Ran shrugged his shoulders: "She's attracted to me.

There are points to be gained, as well as magical weapons and instruments as rewards, so I will join in."

"Why do I like you?" Qiao Yuanxi was like a curious baby.

"Didn't I tell you that my teammate's sister will represent Wuliehe University in the war?"

"Hmm, what next?"

"She and I were in the same patrol team, and after that night, the people from Tianjiao fell in love with me."

"Wow!" Qiao Yuanxi exclaimed, "You stole the show!"

Lu Ran: “.”

Qiao Yuanxi smiled mischievously and looked Lu Ran up and down: "He is indeed a man with many schemes~"

Lu Ran silently turned his head and looked out the window.

That night, he did his best to assist Deng Yuxiang. The camera hanging on his collar recorded everything about Big Nightmare.

However, Sun Zhengfang and Wei Long's cameras captured all of the heroic moments of the two.

As a disciple of the Ninth Order God, Immortal Sheep, Lu Ran indeed attracted too much attention.

"Rain Alley City is truly blessed with talented people and beautiful scenery." Xiao Yusong exclaimed, "There were only 100 participants selected in the first year, and Rain Alley City took up two spots."

Lu Ran: "It's just me. That sister withdrew from the competition."

Everyone: "."

Little Yuanxi looked at Lu Ran in astonishment: "You got promoted just like that?

After stealing the show, you replaced that sister?"

"No, no." Lu Ran hurriedly explained, "That sister has been promoted to the Jiang realm and can no longer participate in Tianjiao.

Then, she recommended me to the program team.”

“Jiang Jing!” Qiao Yuanxi was secretly shocked, and his little head also reacted, “That’s right, those who can be selected as Tianjiao must be very strong.”

Lu Ran nodded in agreement.

Qiao Yuanxi looked at Lu Ran and said, "You are also a recognized genius in Daxia!

So, when will you advance to the Jiang realm?"

Lu Ran: “.”

"Hehe~" Qiao Yuanxi's little face was full of pride, and she stopped teasing her brother, "On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I will be able to see you on my phone!"

Lu Ran explained: "No, these 100 people will be divided into two groups and take turns to fight.

I am in the second group, and I fight in the even-numbered months."

"Is that so?" Qiao Yuanxi was delighted. "Then my brother can celebrate my birthday with me like before!"

"Yeah." Lu Ran couldn't help but stretch out his hand and scratch Qiao Yuanxi's little nose.

It was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, during the winter vacation, and the students did not have to guard the city.

In order to celebrate his sister's birthday, Lu Ran specially asked for leave from the Divine People Bureau.

This is Lu Ran’s daily routine. Every year when he returns to the capital, he will first spend New Year’s Eve with his mother and sister, and then on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, he will celebrate his sister’s birthday with her.

As for his own birthday, he celebrated it with his sister.

This is also the only time every year that Lu Ran spends time with his family.

He doesn't want to change his "customs".

Among all the dangerous and terrifying fifteenth nights, Lu Ran’s favorite is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

On this day every year, even the extremely busy mother would not go out to guard the city.

As a powerful person, she naturally shoulders important responsibilities and is someone that many people rely on.

But every fifteenth day of the first lunar month, she would leave herself to her children.

She would stay at home and always be by the side of the brother and sister.

No matter how war-torn or evil-ridden the outside world is, the Qiao family will be extremely warm on this day.

You know, before that, Lu Ran was just an ordinary, fragile person, so naturally he would spend the nights in fear and anxiety.

As a young boy, he certainly needs a sense of security and more importantly, someone to rely on.

Under such circumstances, the mother stayed at home with the brother and sister, and the feeling of security and safety that they felt was something that others could not experience.

Therefore, Lu Ran's love for the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is a mixture of many factors.

"How do we calculate July 15th?" Guan Yiren spoke rarely.

Xiao Yusong, who had been listening the whole time, began to explain, "In the sixth month of the lunar calendar, the gods are on patrol, and in the seventh month of the lunar calendar, the gates of Yin are wide open. During these two months, Tianjiao is suspended."

Qiao Yuanxi asked: "How about the battlefield?

Rain Alley City is quite small, and the evil spirits that invaded are not very strong."

Lu Ran turned his head and looked at Qiao Yuanxi with a gloomy look in his eyes.

Do you know what happened to your brother, me, because of Yu Xiang?

There's nothing special about ghosts walking around at night, it's just like every day!
That attendance rate is almost catching up with Moon Watcher.
"Hmm." Qiao Yuanxi hugged Lu Ran's arm and buried her face in his arm.

Lu Ran looked at his spoiled sister and said helplessly: "Don't ask, there are professionals to grade, we don't need to think so much."

"Yeah." Qiao Yuanxi felt that the limelight had passed, and immediately raised her little face, "I'll tell mom the good news when I get back."

Lu Ran nodded with difficulty: "Okay."

As a "plastic bag master", it is indeed difficult to make such a decision.

"We're here." Xiao Yusong said.

"So fast?" Lu Ran looked out the window and found that this was an underground parking lot and they were not even out of the city.

"You forgot that Brother Xiao is a follower of Chenying." Qiao Yuanxi whispered.

"Oh." Lu Ran couldn't help but feel slightly moved.

I never thought that I would have the opportunity to experience the method of teleportation!
"Just sit down, don't be nervous." Xiao Yusong spread out his palms.

I saw a black flower quietly blooming on his palm.

The shape of this flower resembles Lycoris radiata.

Its leaves are narrow and long, and the filaments are longer and extend outward.

The black color adds a touch of mystery and elegance to the flower.

"Whoo~"

Above the flowers, a surge of energy is occurring, creating a wondrous sight.

There are mountain streams among them, which are dynamic and quite realistic.

Lu Ran was amazed as the beautiful scenery grew bigger and bigger until it swallowed up the entire car.

Dust Shadow Divine Art: Red Spider Lily!
"call!"

The topographic map suddenly ended, and Lu Ran felt a flash before his eyes.

Both the people and the car were teleported to another location.

In fact, Lu Ran had seen this magical method before!

That was in the Dark Demon Cave. When everyone encountered the evil nest and fled in a panic, a team of soldiers came to help.

At that time, a 3D topographic map unfolded above a soldier's head.

Then divine soldiers descended from the sky, and a large number of guards were teleported over.

"Over there!" A soldier knocked on the car window, indicating a parking space a few meters ahead.

"Okay." Xiao Yusong nodded with a smile, drove forward and stopped the car.

Only then did Lu Ran realize that Xiao Yusong had teleported everyone directly to the military camp and the parking lot in one go.

If nothing unexpected happens, the soldier who just knocked on the car window is Xiao Yusong's teleportation coordinates.

As everyone got off the car, some of them stood or knelt, and saluted the statue of Master Jian Yi's avatar.

After it was over, Xiao Yusong smiled and greeted the soldier. The two looked very familiar with each other and bumped fists.

"Brother, I can't guarantee Miss Guan's safety!" The soldier said with a smile, "This is the Night Demon's Lair. I'm scared myself."

Having said that, looking at the state of the young soldier, there is no fear at all.

"Haha!" Xiao Yusong also laughed, "We are really eager to help her, but she doesn't even bother to use us.

Without even telling me, she directly hired an outside helper from Wulie River."

"Oh?" The soldier looked at the few people with sharp eyes.

He seemed to recognize Guan Yiren's teammates, and his eyes immediately locked onto Lu Ran.

Xiao Yusong shook his head and smoothed his medium-length hair:

"Brother Lang, this guy is from a prominent family. Please be nicer to him!"

Lu Ran looked strange, watching Xiao Yusong's cool little action
Carrying a guitar, doesn't this mean singing folk songs?
The soldier named Lang nodded as a matter of course: "After all, it was Miss Guan who invited us here, so I must be nice."

"You two." Guan Yiren looked at the playmates who grew up in the same compound, "Shut up."

Two people: "."

"Let's go, let's go. I found a new brother. Let's go together." The soldier named Lang put his arm around Xiao Yusong's shoulder.

Guan Yiren said softly: "It's inconvenient with too many people, just a few of us can do it."

The soldier named Lang looked at Lu Ran with a strange expression on his face. "So fierce? He doesn't look that old?"

Xiao Yusong: "It's because he's young that he's so fierce! He's my competitor."

Lang Zhixuan asked in confusion: "What competitor?"

Xiao Yusong lowered his voice: "Tianjiao."

Lang Zhixuan was stunned.

He looked at Lu Ran, then at Xiao Yusong, and then elbowed Xiao Yusong: "Stop it!"

Xiao Yusong stroked his hair again: "Believe it or not."

"Huh?" Lang Zhixuan looked at Lu Ran, sizing him up and down.

Lu Ran held two swords in his arms and smiled: "Hello."

"I'm not very good."

"what?"

Lang Zhixuan: "I failed the election. I was so angry that I didn't even go to school anymore and came here to join the army."

Lu Ran: “.”

Lang Zhixuan: "Brother, which university are you from? Wu Liehe? Is your school very competitive?"

Lu Ran scratched his head: "It's not fierce, there is no competition, I am in high school."

Lang Zhixuan's eyes widened: "You! Said! What?"

Lu Ran whispered, "How about you try downgrading?"

Lang Zhixuan: ???

There will be another update at 22:.
