Chapter 225: Still Too Strong
Just twenty minutes later, the two returned to the house.
Lu Ran and Si Xianxian immediately stood up from the sofa in the living room.
"I'm leaving." Qiao Wanjun glanced at the two of them without stopping.
This was obviously not a good way to entertain guests, but the young people did not dare to say anything more.
On the contrary, Jiang Ruyi was very grateful to Qiao Wanjun for taking the time to meet with her and give her some advice.
"Mom." Lu Ran immediately chased after her, came to the door, squatted down and changed his mother's shoes.
Qiao Wanjun had a gentle smile on her face, enjoying her child's thoughtfulness, and said softly:
"I have prepared a gift for you. It is in your room."
"Gift?" Lu Ran looked up at his mother.
Qiao Wanjun patted Lu Ran's head gently: "You will like it."
"Yeah." Lu Ran lowered his head and continued, "By the way, Mom, after I participated in Tianjiao, many university admissions officers called me."
Qiao Wanjun: "Are you coming to Beijing?"
Lu Ran opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing.
Qiao Wanjun noticed her son's silence, so she didn't ask any more questions.
After a moment, Lu Ran stood up and said, "I have something else to ask."
"Huh?" Qiao Wanjun was quite surprised.
Lu Ran smiled sheepishly: "Years ago, didn't I go to the Night Demon Cave to train for a while?
I happened to use that experience on the Lantern Festival night a few days ago, and I felt very confident when fighting against the Night Phantom.
So I thought.”
Qiao Wanjun nodded thoughtfully, naturally understanding what her son meant.
Lu Ran asked, "Mom, do you have any connections in this area?"
Qiao Wanjun: "Do you still want to go to the Night Demon Cave?"
"It doesn't have to be the Night Demon Cave." Lu Ran thought about it and said a lot of names in a row, "Prison Demon, Wild Nüba, Qiansiying, Yin Huadan"
Qiao Wanjun laughed in silence, looking at the child who was full of ambition.
She did not blame him in her heart, but rather approved of her son's decision.
In the area of Yuxiang City, anything could happen and any evil spirit could appear.
It's always a good thing to be prepared.
"How is the Rouge Paper Man's Demon Cave?" The little lamb finally showed his true colors and looked at his mother, "I was once weak and was badly beaten by Rouge Paper Man.
Now that I have reached the second stage of the River Realm, I really want to meet the Yanzhi Clan again."
Qiao Wanjun hesitated for a moment and said, "Someone will contact you in a while."
Lu Ran's face lit up and he said with a smile, "Thank you, Mom!"
Qiao Wanjun also smiled: "It's rare for you to speak.
Mom is so happy, how can she say no? "
Lu Ran scratched his head in embarrassment.
I don’t know whether my mother is praising me or blaming me.
It is undeniable that over the years, Lu Ran rarely made any requests to his mother.
Qiao Wanjun raised her hand and gently stroked Lu Ran's cheek: "Take care of yourself."
"Sure!" Lu Ran nodded heavily.
Qiao Wanjun stopped talking and walked away.
To be honest, the scene of her walking into the elevator in a gorgeous long dress with an ancient flavor was quite incongruous.
"Goodbye, aunt!"
"Goodbye, Auntie!" Jiang Ruyi and Si Xianxian spoke up behind her.
It wasn't until Qiao Wanjun left that Si Xianxian breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Ran looked at the girl with a strange expression, "Isn't my mother very gentle? Are you scared like this?"
Si Xianxian didn't respond at all and changed the subject, "Your parents are too strict, don't you still have to change your mother's shoes?"
"Don't mention it." Lu Ran snorted, "It's all little Yuan Xi's fault."
"Your sister?" Si Xianxian was very curious.
Lu Ran sighed: "My mother is very busy and has little time to spend with my brother and me.
Every time she came home, little Yuanxi would run to greet her happily, hurriedly change her slippers, and even wanted to hug her thighs and pull her into the house.
Every time she left, Xiao Yuanxi's expression changed, he was no longer happy, and he stopped welcoming and seeing her off. "
Si Xianxian: "Is it so real?"
Lu Ran shrugged his shoulders and said, "Once, my mother had to go to Jiantianque again, and I didn't know when she would be back.
Little Yuanxi threw a tantrum and begged for a long time but it was of no use. Finally, she went back to the house with a pout and stomping feet.
I could feel that my mother was a little angry, so I quickly changed her shoes and sent her out."
Jiang Ruyi couldn't help laughing, and understood in her heart: "Helped little Yuanxi avoid a scolding?"
rebuke?
Lu Ran shook his head secretly. How could this be a scolding? He was just punished to kneel down without any discussion!
I had to sneak out in the middle of the night to secretly buy hamburgers for Xiao Yuanxi, feeling very nervous.
Lu Ran sighed, "It's exempted, but the habit remains.
Since then, every time she goes out, she stands at the door waiting for me? Don’t tell me, don’t tell me! "
Lu Ran suddenly turned around and looked at Jiang Ruyi: "Do you remember the last time you came to my house?
I forgot to get you your slippers, and you just stood there, staring at the shoe rack."
Jiang Ruyi: “.”
"If we are not from the same family, we will not marry each other." Lu Ran nodded repeatedly, "Sure enough, it is destined in the dark!"
Jiang Ruyi rolled her eyes at Lu Ran, then turned and left.
"By the way, Mom said she prepared gifts for us." Lu Ran returned to the house and looked at Jiang Ruyi's back. "They are in my room."
Si Xianxian came forward and whispered expectantly, "There's none for me, right?"
"Uh." Lu Ran thought again and again, his face serious, "There shouldn't be any for you.
If so, that would be bad.”
Si Xianxian: “.”
Yeah, that’s quite right!
The trio came to Lu Ran's bedroom and saw three one-meter-long boxes on the computer desk. "It's broken!" Lu Ran thought to himself.
Are there really three?
Mom, did you misunderstand something?
It shouldn't be
Lu Ran walked forward quickly and opened one of them. What he saw was a well-made scabbard.
It is made of wood and exudes a faint fragrance.
It is completely black, with golden patterns dotted on it, which is very exquisite.
Seeing this gift, Lu Ran breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, fortunately, there was no place for Si Xianxian.
After all, Lu Ran had two knives and there were three boxes on the table, which just matched up.
Sure enough, when Lu Ran opened the other two boxes, he saw a scabbard and a sword scabbard, which looked basically the same.
"There are words here." Si Xianxian pointed to the end of the scabbard.
Below the golden pattern, Lu Ran saw a gold-plated square of text - Silence.
He immediately looked at the other two sword sheaths and found the words "Liang" and "Xia".
"Whoo~"
Lu Ran made a casual move, and the Xiaguang Sword flew out from the living room with a hint of wind and waves.
Si Xianxian turned sideways, eyes full of envy, watching the handle of the knife fall straight into Lu Ran's palm.
Godly soldier.
When will I be able to own a magic weapon?
Does that obsidian hammer have the potential to become a god?
"Bah!"
The blade fits tightly into the sheath.
The more Lu Ran looked at it, the more he liked it. He put his hands behind his back and kept comparing them.
Cross-carrying?
Or should both scabbards be tilted to the same side, in parallel?
“Buzz~Buzz.”
The cell phone in Lu Ran's pocket suddenly buzzed.
He took out his phone, saw an unfamiliar number, and immediately picked it up: "Hello?"
"Mr. Lu Ran?" A young woman's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Yes, I am!" Lu Ran took a few steps back and came to the bed.
"I just received an order from Master Qiao Feng, saying that you want to go to the special demon cave for training?"
Lu Ran was stunned: "Master Qiao Feng?"
He had heard of Qiao Feng, who could create a golden dragon with one slap.
While cool, it's not as cool as a monk disciple.
After all, Qiao Feng is fake, and the golden dragon kicked out by the monk disciple is the real one!
So, what is Master Qiao Feng? Wait a minute!
Peak master?
Jinghong Peak?
Oh my God!
Lu Ran felt very sick and sat down on the bed.
Come to think of it, he should have seen something of it when he went to Jinghong Peak before.
Why are other Jianyi believers working as porters and construction workers there, while my mother is standing alone in the back mountain, and no one dares to disturb her?
Isn't it obvious that her identity is different? !
Peak Master, what a guy!
Including Jinghong Peak, there are a total of nine sacred mountains inside and outside the capital that have been transformed by the sword of the gods.
Every sacred mountain has a disciple of Jianyi in charge, who is also the so-called peak master.
Qiao Wanjun is actually one of the nine?
All along, Qiao Wanjun never mentioned anything about work to the brother and sister, including her personal abilities, which she never mentioned and was very secretive about.
Now, Lu Ran unexpectedly heard this name, and it can be said that he realized it belatedly.
I am actually a "second generation" of this level?
The woman on the other end of the phone sounded a little puzzled: "Are you Ms. Qiao Wanjun's son Lu Ran?"
"Yes, it's me." Lu Ran said hurriedly.
The woman said, "Ms. Qiao has given instructions. May I ask which demon cave do you want to go to?"
Lu Ran calmed down and asked, "What's your name?"
"No need to bother, Chen."
"Sister Chen, just call me Xiao Lu." Lu Ran was very polite. "I want to go to the magic cave where the Yan Paper Man is. Is that okay?"
"There is no demon cave of the Yanzhi clan near the capital. I need some time."
"Okay, thank you Sister Chen." Lu Ran responded.
"Yes." The woman surnamed Chen responded softly, "Also, congratulations on your excellent performance in Tianjiao.
Your mother has been in a bad mood recently. I haven't seen her so happy for a long time."
Lu Ran raised his eyebrows slightly. He could tell that this woman had a close relationship with his mother?
Otherwise, the other party would not say such words.
Especially the disciples of Jianyi, each of them is so aloof and cold, how could they have the leisure to talk about these things?
Lu Ran advised: "Sister Chen, just call me Xiao Lu, don't be so polite."
As he spoke, Lu Ran added: "I still have to go to other demon caves for training in the future, so I will have to trouble you."
"Hehe." The woman surnamed Chen smiled faintly, "Okay, Xiao Lu.
I'll tell you in advance that Master Qiao Feng has ordered me to accompany you throughout the entire journey to the demon cave for training.
You wait at home. When I have the exact news, I will pick you up at Xianjing Garden."
"Okay." Lu Ran responded blankly and hung up the phone.
"What's wrong?" Si Xianxian looked at Lu Ran's strange expression and couldn't help but ask.
Jiang Ruyi was also quite curious. She held the scabbard in her hand and secretly watched Lu Ran.
Lu Ran scratched his head for a long time before uttering a few words:
"I'm still too strong-willed."
"What do you mean by being too strong?" Si Xianxian was very puzzled.
Lu Ran was filled with admiration. He really didn't expect that his mother was of such a level.
Just now, Qiao Wanjun was right: you rarely speak.
If Lu Ran hadn't been so stubborn and insisted on staying in Rain Alley, if Lu Ran had spoken up earlier and pestered his mother for this and that,
He should have noticed something a long time ago?
Ask for some monthly passes.
