Chapter 117: Prison Release and Review

The ninth day of the tenth lunar month, under the feet of Witch Crow.

A team of soldiers, escorting a young man and woman as if they were prisoners, walked out of the central building of the military camp.

The sky of Rain Alley City was as gloomy as ever.

Under the continuous drizzle, a middle-aged woman holding an umbrella saw her daughter being escorted out and hurriedly stepped forward:

"I've caused you trouble, caused you trouble..."

Si Caiqin was full of apologies, saying to several soldiers.

The soldiers all had an official attitude, gave some instructions to the family members, and turned to leave.

Leaving Lu Ran and Si Xianxian standing in the cold rain, facing Si Caiqin who had come to pick them up.

Si Xianxian was still indifferent, her eyes glancing elsewhere, not looking at her mother.

Lu Ran was full of guilt: "Aunt Si."

"Get in the car first, we'll talk in the car." Si Caiqin stepped forward, held an umbrella for Lu Ran, and led him toward the parking lot.

Si Xianxian pouted, getting rained on alone, following behind the two.

It's hard to tell whose biological mother you are!

As the trio got into the car, Lu Ran explained: "Auntie, it's not what you think, and this matter is mainly my fault."

"Don't speak for her." Si Caiqin shook her head with a wry smile, "I know what my daughter is like."

"What am I like?" In the back seat, Si Xianxian was suddenly furious.

"What do you think you're like?" Si Caiqin looked up at the rearview mirror, looking like she was hating iron for not becoming steel, "Look at you, fighting with people again!

How many times have you been punished, and you haven't learned a lesson?

If you have more believer points deducted, you won't even have the qualifications to enter the demon cave!"

Si Xianxian snorted, indifferent: "If I can't enter, I can't enter, where else can't I train?

On the night of the fifteenth, I'll still slaughter wildly!

If they don't let me enter the demon cave, can they stop the demons from invading the city on the fifteenth?"

Si Caiqin was not lightly angered: "You... you!"

Lu Ran suddenly turned his head and looked back: "You stop talking for a moment."

Si Xianxian turned to look at Lu Ran, opened her mouth, and a bellyful of words got stuck in her throat.

"Hmph!" Finally, she turned her head angrily and looked out the car window.

Si Caiqin was shocked!

No one knows a daughter better than her mother; she knew very well that her daughter, who had been detained for several days, had accumulated resentment for a long time and was venting at this moment.

In this situation, even as a mother, she probably couldn't stop this irritable daughter.

However, Lu Ran seemed to have some kind of magic; with just one sentence, he pressed down the emotionally agitated Si Xianxian.

"Auntie, Xianxian is very obedient and has performed very well all along." Lu Ran looked at the woman beside him and said apologetically, "Let's go home first, we'll talk in detail at home."

"Mm, okay." Si Caiqin started the vehicle and looked at the rearview mirror again.

Si Xianxian opened the car window, letting the cold rain sprinkle on her face, and took a deep breath.

Twenty-some minutes later, Rain Alley Garden residential area.

Lu Ran opened the door and greeted the guests to enter.

"Meow?" Little Li Hua rushed out for the first time, looking curiously at the few people.

Compared to her first visit, this time Si Xianxian was unceremonious, went straight to the sofa, and sat down.

"Get up, go to the room to pay respects to the God first!" Si Caiqin reprimanded.

"No need, Auntie, don't disturb the God." Lu Ran walked quickly into the room and closed the door of the small bedroom.

He returned to the living room, looking at Si Caiqin's unkind expression, and then at Si Xianxian's sloppy appearance...

If the mother and daughter were left together, a quarrel would break out sooner or later.

"Sister Xian'er."

"What?" Si Xianxian was in a very bad mood, her tone very sharp.

Ever since she was released from prison two days ago, she had been watched by soldiers and escorted out of the country.

For anyone, it would be impossible to be in a good mood.

"The automatic feeder is running low on cat food." Lu Ran came to the sofa.

Si Xianxian said impatiently: "And then?"

Lu Ran pointed to the direction of the kitchen: "In the upper cabinet, there is cat food in the first cupboard."

Si Xianxian reacted, then pointed to her own nose, full of disbelief: "You want me to go?"

Lu Ran smiled: "Go, there isn't much water left either, remember to add some water for the cat."

Si Xianxian was stunned for a long time, then suddenly reached out and grabbed Lu Ran's collar, pulling him directly in front of her face.

She leaned her thin lips to Lu Ran's ear, gritted her teeth, and whispered: "I am your teammate, not your servant!"

Lu Ran whispered: "You don't want to continue training with your aunt forever, do you?"

Si Xianxian's breathing stalled slightly!

Lu Ran whispered: "You fought with people again; in the future, your aunt will only watch you more closely.

No matter where you go, your aunt will always be with you."

"Mm..." Si Xianxian frowned slightly and closed her eyes.

After two or three seconds, she pushed Lu Ran to stand up and carefully smoothed the wrinkles on Lu Ran's collar:

"Is the cat food in the first cupboard?"

"Mm." Lu Ran responded softly.

It could be seen that Si Xianxian was trying very hard to make herself show a gentle smile.

Unfortunately, her expression was too stiff; she was clearly trying to endure something: "I'll go get it right now."

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

As Si Xianxian walked, she made her slippers slap again.

"Sit, Auntie." Lu Ran gestured to the sofa, "You saw it, she is very obedient."

Si Caiqin: "."

"That's how it is." Lu Ran sat opposite the coffee table and told Aunt Si the whole story from beginning to end.

After Si Caiqin listened, she finally realized that her daughter's fight this time was to stand up for Lu Ran.

"Sorry, Auntie." Lu Ran was indeed very guilty.

A mother handed her daughter to him, but he caused Si Xianxian to enter the station and have points deducted.

"In that case, there was indeed a reason." Si Caiqin's tone eased a lot.

"Mm?" Si Xianxian was squatting in front of the automatic feeder; hearing this, she turned to look at her mother.

Her face was full of surprise; had her mother opened her mind?

Si Caiqin said earnestly: "If every time you fight, it's for a teammate, then I will absolutely not blame you."

Si Xianxian pursed her lips, her beautiful eyes looking at Lu Ran.

Sure enough, being favored is different!

"Meow~" Little Li Hua approached the beautiful sister's feet, raised its little head, and looked curiously at Si Xianxian.

Si Xianxian snorted.

Not bad, in this world, at least there is someone who likes me.

Si Xianxian reached out, making a move to hold Little Li Hua in her arms.

"Meow~" Little Li Hua was very flexible, turned around, and ran away.

Leaving only Si Xianxian alone, messy in front of the feeder.

The next moment, Si Xianxian stood up abruptly: "You come over here!"

"Si Xianxian!" Si Caiqin reprimanded, "How old are you, why are you arguing with a cat?"

Si Xianxian's chest heaved in rhythmic waves, and she said angrily, "This dog thing is baiting me, treating me like a sharp-mouthed fish!"

"Mehh~~~"

Suddenly, a sheep's bleat came.

Si Xianxian immediately held her forehead with one hand, her figure swaying slightly.

"Meow~" Little Li Hua ran back and jumped into Lu Ran's arms.

"Here!" Lu Ran came to Si Xianxian and sent Little Li Hua into the girl's arms, "Be gentle."

"I don't want to." Si Xianxian pouted and walked to the living room window, looking at the rain scene outside the window as if sulking.

Lu Ran stood in place holding the little cat and smiled helplessly.

On the sofa, Si Caiqin also gradually came to her senses, the love in her eyes undiminished: "Lu Xiao Lu Lu, don't worry about her, come and sit."

"Auntie, I will often look for Xianxian in the future to go down to the demon cave for training together."

Lu Ran said while walking to the window, sending Little Li Hua into Si Xianxian's arms: "Go, play with sister."

Si Xianxian pouted, and it wasn't until Lu Ran pushed again that she reluctantly reached out and hugged the little guy.

Lu Ran turned to look at Si Caiqin, his expression solemn: "I promise you, this kind of thing will absolutely not happen again in the future!"

"Thank you, Lu Xiao Lu Lu." Si Caiqin said gratefully, "I've caused you trouble."

Although there were some accidents, Si Caiqin didn't blame Lu Ran, but was somewhat worried about whether her daughter could "pass the review."

From the bottom of her heart, Si Caiqin hoped that Lu Ran could lead Si Xianxian.

Except for this powerful, extremely special teenager, Si Caiqin truly couldn't find any martial artist who could accompany her daughter.

Just as she had said before, she no longer had the ability to keep up with Si Xianxian's pace, and could no longer accompany her to continue adventuring.

Si Caiqin also knew very well that once she left, her daughter would be out of control and would only cause more and more disasters.

Until one day...

Her daughter might end up like those Lie Tian believers, heading toward the same ending.

"No trouble, Sister Xian'er takes good care of me; this is not a polite remark, she also has the ability to take care of me."

As he spoke, Lu Ran sighed: "This world is so dangerous, the living environment is getting worse day by day, and everyone is in danger.

I can meet her, become stronger with her, and face various dangers together in the future...

This is also my honor."

Si Xianxian remained silent, gently stroking the cat in her arms.

Listening to Lu Ran's words, the irritability and anger in her heart gradually dissipated.

"Good, Auntie understands." Si Caiqin was somewhat excited.

"Look at me." Lu Ran suddenly changed the subject and slapped his forehead, "I forgot to pour you water."

"No need, no need, we won't disturb you anymore." Si Caiqin stood up directly, "I'll take Xianxian back first.

After the fifteenth, if it's convenient for Lu Xiao Lu Lu, you can contact Xianxian."

Now that Lu Ran had clearly stated his position, Si Caiqin had a bellyful of words she wanted to talk to her daughter about in private.

Si Xianxian, who had been silent all along, suddenly looked at Lu Ran: "Do you live alone?"

Lu Ran: "Ah?"

"Xianxian, don't mess around." Si Caiqin could naturally understand her daughter's meaning.

Si Xianxian said as a matter of course: "He just said I have the ability to protect him, so let's start from the night of the fifteenth."

Si Caiqin: "."

I just troubled Lu Xiao Lu Lu to take you for training, you're really something, you want to live in someone else's house directly?

How much do you want to stay away from me, you don't even want to go home?

Lu Ran said: "I have a mission on the night of the fifteenth."

"Forget it if you don't welcome me." Si Xianxian snorted and placed the Li Hua cat on the windowsill.

Lu Ran realized that the other party had misunderstood and spoke again: "I really have a mission."

"Fart!" Si Xianxian looked at Lu Ran with burning beautiful eyes, "Last month, your Rain Alley City just experienced the descent of the Demon Lord.

You, a high school senior, where would you get a city defense mission?"

Lu Ran smiled: "The school indeed doesn't have a city defense mission.

But I have to patrol with the people from the Yunshan City Divine People Bureau · Moon Gazing Detachment."

"Oh?" Si Xianxian raised an eyebrow.

Such a response was completely beyond her expectations.

This guy... actually really has a mission?

Si Caiqin on the side was also somewhat stunned, thinking Lu Ran was making an excuse to push it away.

Unexpectedly, this teenager was outrageous to this extent!

A Stream Realm, Third Stage high school student, performing a mission with the Divine People Bureau · Moon Gazing Detachment?

And it was still patrolling?

To be able to meet this teenager in the Black Lantern Demon Cave, how much virtue have I accumulated...

"You..." Si Xianxian stopped talking, once again re-examining Lu Ran.

Such "re-examination" had been repeated many times during the previous training journey.

Lu Ran pursed his lips and smiled, sending the other party a classic expression: "You can also apply to try, it's quite simple.

Anyway, I passed as soon as I applied~"

Si Xianxian:???
