Chapter 314: Dialogue Outside of Time

Lu Ran had once wanted Rain Alley City to teach him something.

He looked around at this piece of heaven and earth, but all he got in return was day after day of failure.

He had also called the Great Nightmare, wanting to review the old to learn the new, wanting her to tell him some insights.

It was still a fruitless search, with no clues.

Never expected!

On this cold street at sunset, he found the answer he wanted.

And the person who personally pushed open the door of advancement for him, pointed him out, and taught him—

Was actually his former self.

A self with a heart higher than the sky.

A wild and firm self!

"Let's go, walk forward."

Lu Ran looked into the distance at the girl's illusory figure that had stopped and looked back, continuing to whisper: "I will always be with you."

"What?" A voice came to his ear.

Lu Ran lowered his eyes slightly and saw her in his arms, having shed her greenness, elegant and charming.

Because Lu Ran was advancing, Jiang Ruyi had been very quiet.

She didn't know what Lu Ran was looking at, just had some guesses in her heart, but had never asked.

Including at this moment, she was also quietly accompanying Lu Ran in his advancement.

However, when Lu Ran said those words, she couldn't help but ask.

"I saw us." Lu Ran said softly, "Us when we first started high school, having just met."

Jiang Ruyi lowered her head and smiled: "Focus on your advancement."

There was no such thing as seeing or not seeing; it was just memories.

Just like the people who had already left in the shops along the way.

Gradually reduced to illusory images in memory...

Lu Ran's expression was very serious: "I am focusing on my advancement.

The illusory boy said he wanted to complete the unfinished business of that person and guard this city for that person."

Jiang Ruyi recalled quietly; the two of them had walked this road home from school countless times.

But she really remembered that time.

Because on that day, Jiang Ruyi first heard the news of Lu Ran's father's death, and it was also on that day she learned that Lu Ran had returned from the capital.

Preparing to live alone in Rain Alley in the future.

Because there were too many things here he couldn't let go of.

Lu Ran's voice continued:

"The illusory girl stood there, looking at us from afar."

Hearing this, Jiang Ruyi, who was wrapping her arms around Lu Ran's body, couldn't help but tighten them.

So that was why Lu Ran had just said "Walk forward, I will always be with you."

So, he was talking to the past her.

"Have they gone far?"

Jiang Ruyi knew that was Lu Ran's memory, but she was very willing to cooperate.

Lu Ran narrowed his eyes slightly: "Very far, almost at the end of the road."

The setting sun's light was still dazzling, making it hard for him to see their figures clearly.

Jiang Ruyi rested her chin on Lu Ran's shoulder, closed her eyes, and smiled:

"While he hasn't disappeared yet, help me tell that boy,

Don't be afraid, walk forward.

I will also always, always be with him."

Her voice was gentle and firm, stroking the heart.

Lu Ran felt a slight palpitation, even feeling a bit at a loss.

Who could withstand this...

Lu Ran took a deep breath and whispered: "He heard it."

Jiang Ruyi insisted: "Tell him louder, my voice is so small, he can't hear it."

Lu Ran raised his hand, let it fall on her head, and rubbed it gently:

"He really heard it, I promise."

"Mm." Jiang Ruyi buried her head in Lu Ran's shoulder, one hand gently picking at his clothes, gripping tighter and tighter.

A breeze gradually rose, and her long hair fluttered.

Beside the unformed mist vortex high in the sky, another one faintly appeared, crossing and overlapping with it.

The energy fluctuations in her body became more and more intense.

Until it stood on equal footing with the person in front of her.

"Whoosh—"

"Thump!" Figures fell one after another, staring dumbfounded at the man and woman by the street.

This...?

Is this Lu Ran and Jiang Ruyi?

Since there is a celestial phenomenon, it means Lu Ran is advancing to the River Estuary Realm?

Lu Ran, eighteen years old, a freshman in the River Estuary Realm?

Everyone could understand the words "eighteen years old" and "River Estuary Realm."

But when linked together, it felt very strange.

"Captain Wang!" A Moon-Gazing person looked up at the sky, his expression incomparably shocked, "It seems it's not just Lu Ran?"

"Ah?" A group of Moon-Gazing people raised their heads one after another.

Sure enough, there were two mist vortexes in the sky!

Although there was some crossing and overlapping, there was no sign of merging.

There were indeed two!

"Holy crap!" A man held his head with both hands, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Is the River Estuary Realm a realm that is easy to cultivate to?

Of! Course! Not! Ah!

Look at Rain Alley City!

Every night of the fifteenth, there are only two River Estuary Realm experts stationed there in total.

But all of a sudden, two more appeared?

Is this right?

This... this is damn right!

"Little Li, report to the bureau immediately, send more manpower over!"

"Everyone else, follow me to seal off this area, no one is allowed to enter!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

These two geniuses are the treasures of Rain Alley City!

At this moment of advancement, not a single mistake can be tolerated.

Thick immortal mist descended from the sky, shrouding the two in it.

Teams of Moon-Gazing people rushed to this place, quickly sealing off several surrounding blocks.

Although people couldn't see the people in the mist, their faces were filled with uncontrollable joy, and their hearts were filled with blessings.

Wu Lie River City, inside the Wu Lie River University martial arts arena.

Under a big tree, the crisp ringing of a phone didn't stop.

"Who is it, so annoying!" A female voice came from the field, her tone very dissatisfied.

Only to see Chang Ying put down the big axe, spread her long legs, and walk toward the side of the field in a hurry.

"You?!" Deng Yutang's expression changed suddenly.

He hurriedly withdrew his move and tried his best to jump to the side; the tip of the spear almost pierced Chang Ying.

Deng Yutang was truly angered, unable to even speak, pointing at the black-skinned girl with one finger: "You, you, you!"

"Chang Ying! You have to change this rash temper of yours!"

A girl walked up, saying words of reproach, and gently patted Deng Yutang's arm with one hand.

Her behavior was somewhat intimate.

The girl was tall, with exquisite features and a unique cold white skin.

Bai Manni!

"Hmph!" Deng Yutang turned his head to the side.

"Wait for her to finish the call, I'll talk to her." Bai Manni smiled at Deng Yutang.

In her eyes, the young man's exceptionally heroic face was very interesting when he was angry.

And in the eyes of outsiders, the two were a talented man and a beautiful woman, a perfect match.

"Hee hee~" Tian Tian stood on the other half of the field, secretly giggling.

Chang Ying picked up the phone from under the tree, originally still a bit impatient.

But after seeing the caller ID, she was first happy, then her heart tightened, and she hurriedly answered:

"Dad? What happened at home?"

"Hehe, my daughter is still the best, you knew something happened at home!"

Chang Ying blinked her big eyes: "Eh?"

Something happened at home, why are you still so happy?

No wonder I'm heartless, it turns out it's inherited~

Several teammates heard Chang Ying's words and gathered around one after another.

On the phone, Chang's father continued: "There's another phenomenon here at home!

There's a huge vortex in the sky, it's covered our auto repair shop!

But the mist drifting down is all going to the south; I looked, it should be gathering toward that street on the banks of the Wu Lie River.

You say, could it be..."

"Ran Bao?!" Chang Ying's big eyes were sparkling.

The Deng-Tian-Bai trio were also full of anticipation.

They all knew that Lu Ran was a Jiang Jing, Fifth Stage, and the reason he wasn't in school was to advance to the River Estuary Realm.

Deng Yutang even knew that the banks of the Wu Lie River were Lu Ran's secret base!

"Maybe, I don't know, several streets nearby are sealed off, not allowed to enter." Chang's father said.

Chang Ying hurriedly said: "You must not go in to look!

River Estuary Realm advancement takes several days.

The mist there is so thick, what if you get lost inside and starve to death?"

Chang's father: "."

I've lived in Rain Alley City my whole life, can't I find my way out of two streets?

He calmed down and said: "Yingying, how is school lately? Are you used to the food?"

It could be seen that Chang's father was just looking for an excuse to call, mainly wanting to care about his daughter.

The Deng-Tian-Bai trio picked up their phones one after another, searching for news about Rain Alley City.

Looking at this, it was incredible!

Although the phenomenon in Rain Alley City hadn't made it to the various news media, small videos were already circulating online.

Bai Manni was the first to find a small video and realized that there was more than one vortex in the sky!

"Oh?" Bai Manni looked at her phone, her expression becoming more and more stunned.

Deng Yutang immediately leaned over, looking down at her phone.

The two were very close, but Bai Manni didn't move away.

"Two vortexes?" Deng Yutang's expression was shocked.

Bai Manni speculated: "Could it be Lu Ran and the Silent Zhan Ye Dao?"

Deng Yutang: "One advancing to the River Estuary Realm, one opening a Divine Weapon Domain?"

Anyone who heard such words would think it was a pipe dream.

The difficulty of the River Estuary Realm is beyond doubt.

Opening a Divine Weapon Domain is even more something that can be met but not sought.

But this person is Lu Ran!

And he had just opened the domain of a divine weapon on August 15th!

What couldn't happen to Lu Ran?

Tian Tian's little head leaned over, looking at the phone: "Could it also be Sister Ruyi?"

Bai Manni's heart stirred, she turned her head and looked at Deng Yutang.

Not the Silent Zhan Ye Dao,

But Lu Ran and Jiang Ruyi advancing to the River Estuary Realm together?

It seemed possible too?!

Thinking about it, a huge wave rose in their hearts.

Jiang Ruyi was only slightly inferior to Lu Ran.

To others, she was also an existence that everyone looked up to!

"Eh! Dad~ I know!" From afar came Chang Ying's slightly coquettish voice, "There are two boys chasing me!

But they are all thin-armed and thin-legged, thinner than Ran Bao... cough, anyway, I rejected them all.

What's the rush! Don't worry about it, hanging up, hanging up..."

Chang Ying quickly hung up the phone and turned to look at the others.

She found that everyone was looking this way, and all were secretly laughing.

Chang Ying raised her eyebrows, automatically ignored the female comrades, and fired directly at Deng Yutang:

"Ran Bao is advancing again! And he's a River Estuary Realm expert! What about you?"

Deng Yutang's smile stiffened immediately.

On the side, Tian Tian suddenly whispered: "Soon, soon~"

Deng Yutang:???

"Pfft, hehe~" Bai Manni couldn't help but laugh, hurriedly grabbed Deng Yutang's wrist, and retreated to the side.

Tian Tian stuck out her tongue playfully and ran behind Chang Ying in a flash.

She poked her little head out again, with a scared little look, secretly looking at Deng Yutang.

Only to see Deng Yutang's face flushed red, automatically ignoring Tian Tian, holding his spear and pointing it at Chang Ying:

"One-on-one! I want to fight you one-on-one!"

"Clatter, clatter~"

Chang Ying held the bamboo tube in one hand and was already shaking it.

The few thought that a great battle was imminent.

But they didn't expect a wooden stick to fly out, without any lethality.

It hovered in mid-air, slowly spinning, with two big characters written on it—"Top-Top"!

A Top-Top fortune stick?!

"Wow!"

"Yingying, what did you calculate?" The few looked at the wooden stick and exclaimed one after another.

It was actually a Top-Top fortune stick that could be met but not sought?

"Haha!" Chang Ying laughed, extremely happy, "I knew it!"

My Ran Bao's matter,

It's done!
