Chapter 335: Terrifying Daxia
Bad news: Lu Ran’s ability to coax people is not quite up to par.

At least it's much worse than his skills in arguing with others.

Good news: Qiao Yuanxi can comfort himself.

She grew up in a single-parent family. Her mother was busy with her career and lacked time to accompany her daughter.

This shaped some characteristics for Qiao Yuanxi.

Under the mischievous shell of a girl,
Hidden inside is a heart that is cautious in seeking and strong and independent.

The Lu family's brother and sister seem to be very different, but in fact they have the same underlying characteristics.

Be self-reliant.

When Lu Ran was still sitting in the kitchen, his thoughts drifting away, Xiao Yuanxi walked back to the kitchen door.

Her eyes were red and her lips were pursed stubbornly as she looked at the young man who was sitting in silence with his head down in the chair.

The more he looked, the depressed Qiao Yuanxi became.

The most worried person should be Lu Ran.

After all, he is the one who is willing to risk his life to challenge Shenxu.

Believers have no right to refuse the orders of God.

So, Lu Ran had no choice.

"Brother~"

Qiao Yuanxi spoke in a low voice.

"Hmm?" Lu Ran woke up from his deep thoughts and quickly stood up. "Come and eat. I'll heat up the milk for you."

"Hmm." Qiao Yuanxi felt relieved, it seemed that her brother was not angry.

She lowered her head and sat back in her chair.

After a moment, Qiao Yuanxi secretly raised her eyes and looked at Lu Ran busy at the kitchen counter.

She pouted and broke the silence: "Have you told mom about Shenxu?"

Lu Ran shook his head: "No, my mother is in seclusion and practicing, I can't contact her."

"Oh." Qiao Yuanxi picked up the chopsticks and poked the soft-boiled egg on the plate.

It seems like I imagined the fried egg as Lu Ran’s face?
Before I knew it, the topic changed.

As for leaving, the brother and sister tacitly agreed not to mention it again.

Over the next two days, the brother and sister returned to their normal state.

Warmth is the main theme, and noise is a minor interlude.

Lu Ran could feel that little Yuan Xi was becoming more and more clingy.

She pulled Lu Ran to sit on the sofa and watched "Tianjiao" together, replaying his battles one by one.

Looking at Lu Ran's heroic and dashing appearance, Qiao Yuanxi couldn't help but smile secretly and would hug Lu Ran's arm tightly.

The girl's eyes are sparkling, and her smiling eyes are like two beautiful crescent moons.

Cute and lovely.

On the eighteenth day of the lunar calendar, the rankings for the latest issue of "Tianjiao" were released.

Lu Ran scored 142 points.

Qiao Yuanxi was very dissatisfied and shouted that there was something fishy going on.

Lu Ran sighed in his heart.

This score is quite harsh, isn't it?
After I was promoted to Jiangjing, the scoring criteria of the judges became different?

You know, Yuxiang City not only experienced many ghosts walking at night, but also the devil mixed in.

Lu Ran participated in the battle throughout and played a key role!
If Lu Ran was still at the fifth stage of the River Realm, he would probably get full marks, right?

When ghosts were walking around at night, a demon king sneaked in, which really surprised everyone!
Since June last year, the intensity of the evil invasion has continued to increase.

The so-called special events are gradually becoming less special.

This October 15th, ghosts roamed at night and the devil descended into the world at the same time, which seemed to have opened the curtain of a new era.

People's panic is inevitable.

The Daxia government is also deliberately guiding public opinion.

Whenever people connect "ghosts walking at night" with "the advent of the devil", the name Lu Ran is always mentioned.

People's attention and discussion points always tend to be towards Lu Ran himself.

Now, Lu Ran is not only famous in Da Xia.

But it is the most powerful one in Da Xia!

Lu Ran doesn't dare to rebel, but his fans have already helped him become emperor
Unfortunately, Ran Di only won third place in this issue.

However, he still ranks first in the overall ranking.

The top two on this issue’s Tianjiao list are both believers of the fifth stage of the River Realm.

One has 147 points, the other has 144 points!
One is a disciple of Dong Ting, and the other is a disciple of Jianyi.

Lu Ran specially watched Brother Dong Ting’s wonderful slices, he was like the Flash!
His whole body was wrapped in purple lightning, and he fought hard against the Demon Lord of Jiang Realm.

Two big words: Awesome!
In any battle, absolute advantage in speed can always create miracles.

This is true for Dong Ting believers and Xian Yang believers as well.

"Brother, your total score is now 583 points!" Qiao Yuanxi was sitting in front of the computer desk, overjoyed, "17 points ahead of the second place! Yoho~"

Lu Ran looked at the second place.

Poor He Qifeng, the warrior monk girl.

She advanced to Jiangjing first, and was also scored low by the judges earlier.

He was obviously a man who had killed many people and had made great achievements in battle, but he just couldn't reach 140.

It’s so difficult~
"There's only one game left!" Qiao Yuanxi's eyes were filled with excitement. "You are the undisputed number one prodigy of Daxia!"

Lu Ran patted Qiao Yuanxi's head and said, "Don't say that!"

"AUV~" She spoke in the accent of a young lady from Beijing.

She turned into a smart student and shook her head: "That's not something you can say~"

Lu Ran held her head with one hand: "Do you want to show your true form?"

Qiao Yuanxi chuckled: "Then tell me, what am I?"

"You, well, you are a human being." Lu Ran lost his temper.

After all, they are brother and sister, and they share the same blood.

"Hmph." Qiao Yuanxi won another game and turned to look at the computer.

Lu Ran also looked at her and clicked on the prize page.

The rewards for the top ten on the Tianjiao list are all good.

There are seven magic weapons and three magical tools to choose from.

After "Tianjiao" is over, the students need to be selected in order of their ranking.

The prizes for those ranked 11th to 30th are all embryos of magical weapons, similar to the state of the black ice sword when Jiang Ruyi first obtained the Liangye Sword.

These weapons have been cultivated by their master for a long time and are very spiritual.

Unfortunately, the owner died in a battle.

The weapons they left behind were collected by Tianjiao and used as prizes.

The subsequent rewards are varied.

Weapons of various materials, high-grade magic beads, rare minerals and plants that are unique to various magic caves, etc.

Of course, Qiao Yuanxi's attention was focused on the top ten.

"Magic weapons are rarer, brother, let's choose magic weapons!"

Qiao Yuanxi was very confident, as if the powerful magic weapon was already in his pocket. "Let's hope so." Lu Ran glanced at the pictures of the three magic weapons.

"Tianjiao" is very good at keeping people in suspense.

The pictures of the seven magical weapons have been released, and it is easy to tell whether they are swords or knives.

Only three magical instruments have no introduction, and the pictures are still shrouded in mist.

There are many speculations online and the discussion is very heated.

One of the instruments seemed to be a precious orb.

The other one looks like a wine gourd.

At least the part exposed outside the fog looks like a gourd mouth.

As for the last magic weapon, the mystery surrounding the picture is too thick, and there has been a lot of discussion on the Internet, but there is still no overwhelming answer.

According to the information released on the official website of "Tianjiao", the three magic weapons will be announced together with the year-end overall performance list.

This made Lu Ran feel itchy~
He wished that tomorrow would be the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the final battle of "Tianjiao"!
I hope that the unique spirit in the reward I choose will have a better temperament.

Lu Ran was not worried that the spirits of these magic weapons and magical instruments would cause trouble or disobey their masters.

After all, it was brought out by "Tianjiao", and the official should have communicated with the weapon spirits.

With full expectations, Lu Ran received many congratulatory text messages.

He replied one by one and received another call from the official of "Tianjiao".

This time, Lu Ran had no excuse to comprehend Jiang Jing, so he accepted the other party's invitation to travel.

Anyway, it only takes two or three days and won’t delay much.

What's more, Lu Ran was still eyeing the reward.
The most important thing is that Lu Ran really wants to do something for this land and for the people of Daxia who are in dire straits.

Bringing warmth to some remote areas.

It feels very meaningful to bring encouragement to local people and motivate students.

There is also money to be taken.

In the blink of an eye, it was the 19th day of the lunar calendar.

Early that morning, a large G-Class stopped in front of the apartment building.

Inside Lu’s house, at the doorstep.

Qiao Yuanxi pursed her lips, put on her Martin boots, and looked at Lu Ran stubbornly.

Lu Ran said unhappily: "Tie your shoelaces yourself!"

Qiao Yuanxi looked at her brother stubbornly, her little mouth pouting so much that it looked like a bottle of oil could be hung on it.

"I really owe you!"

Lu Ran gave in and knelt on one knee to tie his sister's shoelaces.

The joy in Qiao Yuanxi's eyes flashed away, and was then filled with the sadness of parting.

But there was no choice, she had to go back to Beijing to attend university.

"It's fastened, let's go." Lu Ran stood up and held the suitcase handle with one hand.

"Hmph." Qiao Yuanxi stamped her feet, turned around, pushed the door open and walked out.

Lu Ran followed behind his sister and suddenly had the urge to shout “one, two, one”.

Well, forget it. Let’s not provoke her.

As soon as the door of the unit building was pushed open, several voices were heard.

"Brother Ran!"

"Brother Ran!" Next to the off-road vehicle, Niu Zhengzheng and Wang Ling greeted each other with a smile.

Guan Yiren looked at Qiao Yuanxi who walked out with a pout and reached out to support the girl.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Yuanxi threw himself directly into Guan Yiren's arms.

Guan Yiren smiled rarely and patted Qiao Yuanxi's back gently.

Wang Ling: "Brother Ran, do you want me to take you back to the capital?"

"No need, you guys can go." Lu Ran still wore the mask and shook his head.

Lu Ran did have to take a plane from Beijing, but he had to wait for Sister Xian'er to come before they could leave together.

"Wang Ling." Guan Yiren called softly.

"Ah." Wang Ling opened the back door of the car, took out a Tang Dynasty sword, and walked towards Lu Ran.

Lu Ran: "What is this?"

Wang Ling smiled and said, "Brother Ran, this is a thank-you gift from our team. Thank you for taking care of us on the night of the 15th."

The Tang sword has no sheath and at first glance, it looks like ordinary steel.

But Lu Ran was quite certain that this should be Tianchen Steel!
After all, the people who gave the gifts were a group of rich young men.

"No, it's too expensive." Lu Ran waved his hand.

Guan Yiren whispered, "Compared to what you've done for us, this is nothing."

Lu Ran did take good care of the team.

He rescued Wang Ling and also saved Guan Yiren's life.

But it doesn’t count like that!
That night, they were a team and comrades fighting side by side.

Friendship is worth life, so how can we ask for gifts?

Niu Zhengzheng said carelessly: "Brother Ran, just keep it. I see you like knives very much!

You definitely have more than two magic weapons in your life, haha!"

Guan Yiren lowered her eyes and stared at Lu Ran's black mask, her voice very soft:
"It is an honor for this knife to be with you."

Wang Ling: "Yes, Brother Ran! It's in your hands."

Lu Ran waved his hand: "If you insist on giving it to me, don't come on the 15th of next month."

Wang Ling looked embarrassed and turned to look at Guan Yiren.

Guan Yiren hesitated for a moment until the girl in her arms whispered something. Then she nodded and motioned Wang Ling to take the knife back.

Lu Ran was also helpless.

How sensitive are the ears of a burning dog?
Naturally, I heard Qiao Yuanxi whisper, "My brother's birthday is coming soon."

Lu Ran handed the suitcase to Wang Ling: "Let's go quickly, don't delay your return to school."

Qiao Yuanxi turned her head to look at Lu Ran, her cheeks puffed up, and glared at him again.

Then she got into the car, her ponytail swinging behind her.

Lu Ran looked at them helplessly and shrugged his shoulders: "Let's go, I'm quite cold."

In early winter, a thin layer of frost hangs on the dry grass and trees.

Lu Ran was in a hurry to see someone off and was still wearing thin clothes.

"Okay, let's go."

"Then let's go, Brother Ran, see you on the 15th of next month!"

"Drive slower." Lu Ran watched several people get into the car and watched the vehicle go away.

Just before the car turned the corner and disappeared, a little head suddenly popped out of the window and shouted:

"Goodbye, brother~~~"

It was a bit cold in the early winter morning.

The community is deserted.

The girl's voice came from far away, breaking the coldness and silence.

Lu Ran smiled gently and waved his hand.
