Chapter 87: Autumn Rain and Departure (Additional Chapter 13 for Baiyin Dameng’s Disaster for the Left Eye)
"Why are you going out of town?" Lu Ran stepped forward. "Are your family moving? Are you going to transfer to another school?"
Lu Ran asked these questions in rapid succession, full of concern.
Hearing this, Jiang Ruyi felt a sweet feeling in her heart.
"Speak!" Lu Ran sat down next to the feeding machine, scaring the little raccoon.
"It's okay, it's okay." Jiang Ruyi gently rubbed the little raccoon.
Until the little guy continued to eat, Jiang Ruyi said: "It's not a move, my family has lived here for generations."
As she said that, she turned to look at Lu Ran: “My parents are the same as you.
I can’t leave my hometown, and I can’t leave this old town.”
Lu Ran pursed his lips.
There is really nothing good about the small town of Yuxiang.
The sky is often grey, rainy, cold and depressing.
But everyone has their reasons for not wanting to leave their hometown.
Strictly speaking, the word "hometown" is enough to explain everything.
The reason why Lu Ran was reluctant to leave was mainly because there was someone who stayed here forever.
Even though he had opened the Eye of the Dead and knew that the other party no longer existed, this did not affect Lu Ran's frequent visits to the Wu Lie River.
Jiang Ruyi said softly: "I'm going to Yumen Pass."
"Yumen Pass?" Lu Ran frowned slightly, "Western Regions?"
Lu Ran suddenly had an idea. The statue of the god Yu Fu was standing in Yumen Pass in the Western Regions!
He looked at Jiang Ruyi: "You want to go on a pilgrimage?"
"Yeah." Jiang Ruyi nodded slightly, changed her posture, and knelt on the ground.
The living room was completely silent, with only the kitten between the two of them, eating heartlessly with a "crunch, crunch" sound.
Lu Ran was a little confused: "Why do we have to go on a pilgrimage?"
This kind of question should not come from a believer.
Lu Ran also realized his problem and quickly asked, "When are you going to make the pilgrimage?"
Jiang Ruyi: "The high-speed train at 3pm, the plane at 6pm."
Lu Ran was puzzled: "So urgent?"
Jiang Ruyi lowered her eyes and twirled the cat's ears between her fingers: "Well, I have to leave before the city is closed."
“This is too hasty”
"After I returned home last night, I prayed in front of the statue as usual." Jiang Ruyi whispered, "Master Yufu suddenly sent me a message."
No wonder!
Lu Ran understood. No wonder Jiang Ruyi's decision was so sudden. It turned out to be an order from God.
To Lu Ran, the divine voice was nothing.
The overbearing Mr. Yang could scare Lu Ran at any time.
But for Jiang Ruyi, this was probably the first time she received a message from the gods?
Jiang Ruyi continued, "Master Yufu ordered me to go to the Divine Sculpture to listen to his teachings."
Lu Ran nodded and sighed deeply: "This is a great thing!"
This situation of "God personally summoning believers" is not common, but it does happen.
All believers summoned by the gods are generally people with outstanding talents, who are particularly pious and favored by the gods.
Ordinary believers will never have the chance to enjoy such a good thing.
You travel across mountains and rivers to make a pilgrimage, but even the gods may not pay any attention to you. How can you still dream of being chosen to meet them?
It’s so beautiful that your nose will bubble!
The only problem is:
These chosen believers are usually at the level of Creek Realm, Fifth Stage, River Realm, Fifth Stage, or River Realm, Fifth Stage.
The gods admire you, so they are willing to give you some pointers and help you make the leap to success.
But Jiang Ruyi's current strength level.
She is the second stage of Xijing!
Even if she was given a few more days and everything went well, she would only be at the third stage of the Xijing realm.
Why was I summoned personally by the Lord God?
"I'm sorry." Jiang Ruyi looked apologetic. "I have to leave the team for a while and can't fight alongside you."
"No need to apologize, you have no right to refuse." Lu Ran shook his head and said, "Besides, this is a good thing."
"I am indeed very lucky." Jiang Ruyi said with emotion, "My strength is so low, but I have received the attention of the Lord God."
Lu Ran thought about it and speculated: "Maybe it's because you have high qualifications, Yu Fu values you very much.
Back then on the altar, you rejected the second-class god Tianluan!
You were so determined to become a disciple of the third-class god Yu Fu, which made the second-class god feel frustrated.
This kind of behavior probably adds a lot of points to you."
"Don't say that." Jiang Ruyi looked at Lu Ran and stopped him in a low voice.
Lu Ran also reached out and pinched the other cat ear of Little Lihua: "How long will you be gone?"
Jiang Ruyi smiled and said, "You are also a believer, why are you asking me?"
Lu Ran: “.”
This question is destined to have no accurate answer.
From a personal perspective, Lu Ran certainly hopes that Jiang Ruyi will go and come back soon.
But from the perspective of her development, the longer Jiang Ruyi stays at the foot of the statue of the god, the greater the benefits she will gain!
The statue of the god himself can bestow upon believers tremendous divine power that is unmatched by any other area.
Not to mention, the gods are intentionally cultivating Jiang Ruyi.
"Meow~"
The little raccoon was pinched on the left and right ears by the two men, but he was still unhappy.
It didn't even eat its meal and just turned around and ran away.
"Mea~"
The sound of sheep bleating was heard, and the little tabby cat suddenly stopped moving.
In front of a "big devil" like Lu Ran, no matter whether it is Xiao Lihua or an ordinary person, there is no personal will.
When the followers of the Immortal Sheep Sect deviate from the sect's philosophy of existence and are not disciplined or punished by their own gods.
These believers of the Immortal Sheep are undoubtedly a scourge to society.
It is an extremely dangerous existence!
"Meow~" The little tabby cat meowed and returned to Lu Ran's arms.
Lu Ran, however, handed the little cat to Jiang Ruyi's arms: "Your sister Ruyi will be going to further studies soon, let her touch it for a while longer."
Jiang Ruyi smiled and rolled her eyes at Lu Ran. Gentle as she was, she comforted the kitten for a while and then let Lihua go.
Lu Ran curled his lips.
Jiang Ruyi looked at Lihua's figure running away quickly and said, "During the time when I'm away, you have to lead the team well."
Lu Ran: "Oh."
Jiang Ruyi: "Take good care of Tian Tian. She has always been humble and sensitive."
Lu Ran: "It's been more than three months. She has grown a lot and is very strong now."
Jiang Ruyi turned her head and looked at Lu Ran with her beautiful eyes: "Encourage her more and try not to blame her."
"Okay, okay." Lu Ran raised his hands in surrender.
Jiang Ruyi couldn't help but smile, but then the smile on her face faded and she just looked at Lu Ran quietly.
The room fell into silence again.
Sure enough, without Xiao Lihua, the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Lu Ran stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her face.
Jiang Ruyi realized that she had just been lost in thought, and felt a little embarrassed. She immediately stood up and said, "I'm going back."
Lu Ran: "Leaving now?"
Jiang Ruyi walked quickly towards the door: "The car is at three o'clock."
Lu Ran also stood up: "Teammate over there."
Jiang Ruyi said as she put on her shoes, "I'll call them later."
After she finished speaking, she put on her shoes, picked up her umbrella, opened the door and walked out.
She didn't look back, nor did she stop.
"Then." Lu Ran stood at the door, looking at the tall figure in the corridor, "I wish you success in your studies?"
Jiang Ruyi stood in front of the door of the apartment building and put one hand on the door: "Thank you."
She looked a little lost.
Lu Ran's voice came again: "Come back soon."
She still had her back to Lu Ran, but this time, a smile finally appeared on her face:
"okay."
"Click."
The girl pushed open the door of the apartment building, and at the same time, a small figure rushed out from under Lu Ran's feet.
"Meow~"
"Hey?" Lu Ran hurriedly chased after him.
Jiang Ruyi leaned over and reached out her hand, easily catching the very fast little tabby cat.
Through the dark red knitted scarf, her lips gently touched the little head of Lihua.
You little guy,
Much more sensible than your master.
Lu Ran rushed over immediately and took the little lihua back into his arms.
Jiang Ruyi opened her umbrella and walked away: "Take care."
All along, she seemed to be deliberately speeding up, not wanting to make the separation longer.
"You too." Lu Ran watched the girl leave.
The autumn rain is cold and the autumn wind is bleak.
The figure walked away, stepping on the yellow leaves all over the ground.
He suddenly shouted: "Ruyi!"
"Huh?" Jiang Ruyi turned her head and looked at someone at the door of the apartment building from afar.
"Wait for me!" After saying that, Lu Ran disappeared.
Jiang Ruyi hesitated for a moment, but still stood in the rain with an umbrella, quietly stopping.
After just a moment, Lu Ran came out holding a black ice sword.
Jiang Ruyi's eyes widened slightly.
Of course she recognized the sword—Liang Ye.
"Where is your usual gentleness and thoughtfulness?" Lu Ran came under the umbrella in the rain, muttering, "You didn't even pick me up."
Jiang Ruyi's mind was in a state of confusion, and she seemed not to have heard what he said.
"Here." Lu Ran handed over the Liang Ye Sword.
Jiang Ruyi shook her head and did not take the sword: "It's too valuable. I can't accept it."
Lu Ran muttered: "Several hundred thousand!
I'm just lending it to you for a while, you have to return it to me when you come back."
Jiang Ruyi couldn't help laughing and shook her head.
When parting with a guy like this, there seems to be no need to speed up the process deliberately, the atmosphere will not be depressing anyway.
Lu Ran directly stuffed the Liang Ye Sword into the girl’s arms and said, “Take it.
When you go to the gods, you will inevitably undergo trials, and you may even have to enter a devil's cave. It's all uncertain.
With a sharp weapon in hand, you can better complete the tasks assigned by the gods."
Without waiting for the other party to speak, Lu Ran added: "Take it, I can feel more at ease."
Jiang Ruyi picked up the golden hilt and looked at the golden sword tassel silently.
All that was in my mind was the conversation between the Lu brothers and sisters in the back of the van.
"That's it. I'm going back." Lu Ran said goodbye.
"Help me get it." Jiang Ruyi suddenly said.
"Ah." Lu Ran didn't understand and took the umbrella and sword again.
Jiang Ruyi took off the dark red knitted scarf around her neck and put it around Lu Ran's neck.
Lu Ran looked strange: "You are quite good at doing business?"
Jiang Ruyi: ???
Lu Ran chuckled: "I didn't see that!"
Jiang Ruyi suddenly exerted force with her hands and tightened the dark red scarf around Lu Ran's neck.
She took the umbrella and sword from Lu Ran, turned around and left.
"Good fellow~" Lu Ran pulled at his scarf, finally feeling relieved, and looked at the slender figure that quickly left, "You wanted to strangle me to death!"
Jiang Ruyi lowered her head slightly, her face flushed, and she walked faster.
Even if it's strangled to death,
Save yourself the trouble of worrying about it.
