Chapter 174

Qiao Yuanyuan looked at Lu Ran in astonishment, her words stuttering.

Although the brother and sister quarreled, their sibling bond was real.

Facing her own brother, Qiao Yuanyuan not only had the dependence formed in childhood but also a trace of worship.

She was willing to believe Lu Ran, although this news sounded like a fantasy.

"Brother Ran?" Niu Zhengzheng opened his copper-bell-like big eyes, turning his head to look at Lu Ran. "Is it true or false?"

Xiao Yusong also looked at the rearview mirror, looking at Lu Ran in the mirror quite surprised.

Guan Yiren, sitting on the other side, also turned her head slightly, secretly glancing sideways.

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

"Hehe~" Lu Ran looked at his sister's cute little look. "I'm not participating..."

"Cut~" Qiao Yuanyuan directly interrupted Lu Ran and rolled her eyes at him.

As if she still felt it wasn't enough, she patted Lu Ran's arm again: "I knew you were fooling me!"

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

Niu Zhengzheng slapped his forehead, feeling a great relief in his heart: "Scared me to death."

Only Xiao Yusong and Guan Yiren continued to look at Lu Ran quietly.

Lu Ran turned his head to look out the car window, and another sentence popped out of his mouth: "Who is participating?"

Niu Zhengzheng:???

Everyone: "..."

"Hey? You!" Qiao Yuanyuan clenched her little fist and hammered Lu Ran's chest. "Won't your conscience hurt?

How can you keep lying back and forth, tell the truth quickly!"

"Participating, participating," Lu Ran hurriedly said.

"No, brother!"

Niu Zhengzheng was numb, truly unable to withstand Lu Ran's repeated jumping back and forth.

Qiao Yuanyuan leaned forward slightly, her pair of big eyes sparkling, carefully sizing up Lu Ran's expression.

Lu Ran held the pair of blades, separated by a layer of cloth, and used the hilt to push the girl's face away.

"Why?" Qiao Yuanyuan pushed the hilt away, feeling extremely curious in her heart.

Lu Ran shrugged his shoulders: "They took a fancy to me.

There are points to get, and divine weapons and artifacts as rewards, so I'll participate."

"How did they take a fancy to you?" Qiao Yuanyuan was like a curious baby.

"Didn't I say, my teammate's sister participated in the battle as a representative of Wuliehe University."

"Hmm, hmm, and then?"

"I was in the same patrol team as her, and after that night, the people from 'Tianjiao' took a fancy to me."

"Wow!" Qiao Yuanyuan exclaimed. "You stole the show!"

Lu Ran: "..."

Qiao Yuanyuan smiled mischievously, sizing Lu Ran up and down: "Sure enough, you are a treacherous man~"

Lu Ran turned his head silently, looking out the window.

That night, he did his best to assist Deng Yuxiang, and the camera hanging on his collar recorded all the figures of the Great Nightmare.

However, the cameras of Sun Zhengfang and Wei Long recorded the heroic figures of the two.

As a believer under the Ninth-rank god, Xianyang, Lu Ran was indeed too eye-catching.

"Rainy Alley City is truly a place of outstanding people." Xiao Yusong sighed. "There were only 100 participants selected in the first year, and Rainy Alley City took two spots."

Lu Ran: "Just me, that sister withdrew from the competition."

Everyone: "..."

Little Yuanyuan looked at Lu Ran blankly: "You just got promoted like this?

After stealing the show, you replaced that sister?"

"No, no," Lu Ran hurriedly explained. "That sister advanced to the River Estuary Realm and couldn't participate in 'Tianjiao'.

Then, she recommended me to the program team."

"River Estuary Realm!" Qiao Yuanyuan gasped, her little brain reacting. "That's right, those who can be selected for Tianjiao must be especially strong."

Lu Ran nodded in agreement.

Qiao Yuanyuan looked at Lu Ran: "You are also a recognized Tianjiao of Great Xia!

So, when are you going to advance to the River Estuary Realm?"

Lu Ran: "..."

"Hee hee~" Qiao Yuanyuan's little face was full of pride, no longer 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 are divided into two groups, participating in turns.

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

"I see," Qiao Yuanyuan said, full of joy. "Then brother can accompany me for my birthday like before!"

"Yes," Lu Ran couldn't help but reach out and scrape Qiao Yuanyuan's little nose.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is during the winter break, and students don't need to guard the city.

And in order to celebrate his sister's birthday, Lu Ran specifically asked for leave from the God People Bureau.

This is Lu Ran's life routine. Every year when he returns to the capital, he first accompanies his mother and sister to spend New Year's Eve, and when the fifteenth day of the first lunar month arrives, he accompanies his sister for her birthday.

As for his own birthday, it is spent together with his sister.

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

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

On the fifteenth night of every dangerous and terrifying month, Lu Ran's favorite is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Every year on this day, even his incomparably busy mother doesn't go out to guard the city.

With her powerful strength, she naturally bears heavy responsibilities and is also a person many people rely on.

But every fifteenth day of the first lunar month, she keeps herself for her children.

She stays at home, always staying by the side of the brother and sister.

No matter how the war rages outside and evil spirits run rampant, the Qiao family on this day will be incomparably warm.

You know, the previous Lu Ran was just a fragile ordinary person, naturally he would be fearful and spend the night in panic.

Young as he was, he naturally needed a sense of security and even more needed to rely on others.

Under such a premise, the feeling of his mother staying at home to accompany the brother and sister, that incomparably peaceful and stable feeling, was something others could not feel.

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

"How about the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month?" Guan Yiren rarely spoke.

Xiao Yusong, who had been listening, explained: "The deity patrols in the sixth lunar month, and the ghost gate opens in the seventh lunar month.

'Tianjiao' is suspended in these two months."

Qiao Yuanyuan asked: "Then how is the battlefield calculated?

Rainy Alley City is so small, the invading demons are not strong."

Lu Ran turned his head to look at Qiao Yuanyuan, his eyes gloomy.

Do you know what your brother has been turned into by Rainy Alley?

The Night Parade of Ghosts is not special at all, it's like a daily routine!

That attendance rate is almost catching up with the Moon Watchers...

"Hmm," Qiao Yuanyuan hugged Lu Ran's arm, her face buried in his arm.

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

"Hmm, hmm," Qiao Yuanyuan felt the limelight had passed and immediately raised her little face. "After going back, I will tell Mom this good news."

Lu Ran nodded with difficulty: "Fine."

As a "plastic bag master", making such a decision was indeed a bit difficult.

"Here," Xiao Yusong said.

"So fast?" Lu Ran looked out the window and found that this was an underground parking lot, and they hadn't even left the city.

"You forgot, Brother Xiao is a Chenying believer," Qiao Yuanyuan whispered.

"Oh," Lu Ran couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.

Didn't expect that he would have the honor to experience the teleportation method!

"Just sit tight, don't be nervous," Xiao Yusong spread his palms.

A black flower bloomed quietly above his palm.

The shape of this flower looked like a spider lily.

Its leaves were narrow and long, and the flower filaments were even longer, extending outward.

Black, adding a mysterious and elegant atmosphere to this flower.

"Whoosh~"

Above the flower, a burst of energy surged, painting a strange scene.

Among them were high mountains and streams, and they were dynamic, quite realistic.

Lu Ran clicked his tongue in wonder, seeing this beautiful scenery getting bigger and bigger, until it swallowed the whole car.

Chenying divine technique, Other Shore Flower!

"Whoosh!"

The topographic map suddenly tightened, and Lu Ran only felt a blur before his eyes.

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

In fact, Lu Ran had seen this divine technique before!

That was in the Black Lantern demon cave, when everyone encountered an 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.

And then divine soldiers descended from heaven, and a large number of guards were teleported over.

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

"Okay," Xiao Yusong laughed and nodded, driving forward and parking the vehicle steadily.

Only then did Lu Ran discover that Xiao Yusong had taken one step to reach his destination, teleporting everyone directly into the military camp and the parking lot.

If there were no accidents, the soldier who just knocked on the car window was Xiao Yusong's teleportation coordinate.

As everyone got out of the car, several people stood or knelt, paying respects to the avatar statue of Lord Jian Yi.

After finishing, Xiao Yusong then smiled and greeted the soldier, the two looking very familiar, bumping fists.

"Brother, I can't guarantee the safety of Miss Guan!" The soldier laughed. "This is the Night Charm demon cave, I'm even scared myself."

Although he said so, looking at the young soldier's state, there was no fear at all.

"Haha!" Xiao Yusong also laughed. "We are both rushing up, she is too lazy to use us.

She didn't even tell me, she directly invited an outsider from Wuliehe."

"Oh?" The soldier's tiger eyes were like torches, looking at several people.

Regarding Guan Yiren's teammates, he seemed to know them all, and his gaze locked onto Lu Ran in the first instance.

Xiao Yusong shook his head, smoothing his medium-long hair:

"Brother Lang, this young man's background is not small, you should have a better attitude!"

Lu Ran's face was strange, looking at Xiao Yusong's dashing little movements...

Carrying a guitar on his back, isn't this a folk singer?

The soldier surnamed Lang nodded as a matter of course: "Since it's someone invited by Miss Guan, I must have a good attitude."

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

The two: "..."

"Go, go, go, I found another brother, let's go together," the soldier surnamed Lang hugged Xiao Yusong's shoulder.

Guan Yiren said softly: "Too many people is inconvenient, we few are enough."

The soldier surnamed Lang looked strange, looking at Lu Ran: "So fierce? Doesn't look very old either?"

Xiao Yusong: "Just because he's young, he's fierce! This is my competitor."

Lang Zhixuan asked suspiciously: "What competitor?"

Xiao Yusong lowered his voice: "Tianjiao."

Lang Zhixuan was stunned.

He looked at Lu Ran, then at Xiao Yusong, and then poked Xiao Yusong with his elbow: "Don't mess around!"

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

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

Lu Ran held the pair of blades, smiling: "Hello."

"I'm not very well."

"Ah?"

Lang Zhixuan: "I failed to be selected. In a fit of anger, I didn't even go to university, and ran here to be a soldier."

Lu Ran: "..."

Lang Zhixuan: "Brother, which university are you from? Wuliehe? Is the competition in your school fierce?"

Lu Ran scratched his head: "Not fierce, no one is competing, I... I'm in high school."

Lang Zhixuan widened his eyes: "You! Say! What?"

Lu Ran whispered: "Why don't you try dropping a grade?"

Lang Zhixuan:???

There is another chapter at 22:00.
