Chapter 39: Ranking Match?

Lu Ran hung up the phone quickly, very decisively.

This was too scary!!

This call, why did my butt ache faintly?

Lu Ran touched the place that had been whipped by the wind blade and walked toward the bathroom.

He took a refreshing bath, which took about ten minutes, and then walked out.

However, when he passed the window, his peripheral vision seemed to catch something.

Lu Ran couldn't help but step back.

"Huh?"

Lu Ran saw a luxury sports car parked on the sidewalk of the residential area outside the lawn.

On the side of the front of the car, a tall figure was half-leaning and half-sitting, playing with a phone, facing the window of Lu Ran's bedroom.

"Hmm?"

The young woman had keen senses, raised her eyelids, and looked at the small bedroom window.

Lu Ran had been frozen in place.

Awkward!

It happened to be the rising sun, with morning glow filling the sky.

The morning sun shone on the woman's exquisite side profile.

On her earlobe, that beautiful ruby stud was also shining brightly.

Deng Yuxiang's smile was playful: "I heard, your phone signal is bad?"

"Ah." Lu Ran had nowhere to hide, so he simply took a few steps forward and came to the window, "It's too old, time to change it."

This big girl...

Can't afford to lose, can you?

Who blocks someone's door like this!

Deng Yuxiang raised her head slightly, gesturing to Lu Ran with her chin: "Is your ear signal good?"

"It's passable." Lu Ran touched his earlobe, "Barely usable."

"Hmph, bring your blade." Deng Yuxiang turned and opened the car door, sitting into the driver's seat, "5 minutes, countdown starting now."

As she spoke, Deng Yuxiang raised her slender arm and shook the phone with the countdown started.

Lu Ran was completely numb!

"No, don't you have a younger brother?" Lu Ran looked uncomfortable, "Your hands are itchy, go beat him up!"

Deng Yuxiang said casually: "Isn't that my own?"

Lu Ran:???

Damn?

You said this... you... actually have a point?

Lu Ran said helplessly: "It's early in the morning, at least let me eat."

"I'm treating you." Deng Yuxiang didn't even raise her head, saying indifferently, "Whatever you want to eat, just say it."

Lu Ran looked at the bossy rich girl in the luxury car, and a sentence popped out of his mouth: "Hot pot?"

"Heh!"

Deng Yuxiang was truly angered into laughter, one long leg stepped out of the car, her leather boots stepped heavily on the ground, making a move to get up.

"Soy milk and fried dough sticks are fine too." Lu Ran turned to find clothes.

Deng Yuxiang looked at the figure that disappeared at the window and pulled her leg back.

Dozens of seconds later, Lu Ran jumped out of the bedroom window, carrying a wooden blade and crossing the lawn, coming to the car.

"What's the rush, there are still a few minutes." Deng Yuxiang looked at Lu Ran's indignant expression, and the smile on her face became more charming.

"Don't you work in Cloud Mountain City?" Lu Ran leaned on the car window.

"The 15th is coming, I was sent back by the bureau." Deng Yuxiang gestured to the passenger seat, "Get in."

"Oh." Lu Ran had no choice but to get in the car with his blade, "You want to exercise your muscles and bones... should we bring Yu Tang along?"

Deng Yuxiang stepped on the gas: "I also wanted to bring Yu Tang along to execute the mission, but he's not striving."

Hearing this, Lu Ran immediately defended: "Yu Tang is very amazing, he is our team soul!

No matter what predicament the team suffers, he never has a time of discouragement, always the one who leads us to rise."

Deng Yuxiang drove, the corners of her mouth rising slightly.

The atmosphere of this team is quite good.

Yesterday, she talked to Deng Yutang on the phone, caring about the situation of this team.

Seventeen or eighteen years old, it's the age of being competitive.

However, whether it was from Deng Yutang's mouth or here at Lu Ran's side, both were praising each other.

This is very rare.

Deng Yuxiang had a smile on her face, sweeping a glance at Lu Ran: "Don't waste your effort, no matter how much you praise my brother, you can't avoid this beating."

Lu Ran: "..."

After a while, a sentence popped out of Lu Ran's mouth: "Then should I praise you?"

"Haha~" Deng Yuxiang couldn't help but laugh, the laughter was very hearty.

That bright and moving appearance was actually quite matching with the clear-day Rain Alley today.

"Are there any breakfast shops around here?" Lu Ran asked, seeing the car driving further and further away.

This road is the road leading to the desolate area, the Wu Lie River bank residential area.

"Someone is looking for you." Deng Yuxiang said, "Meet first, then I'll take you to eat."

"Who is it?" Lu Ran asked suspiciously.

"You don't know, the bureau's decision to give you an additional test this time really worried us." Deng Yuxiang patted the steering wheel, "Several of my colleagues want to see you."

"I knew it!" Lu Ran's eyes lit up.

How could this girl just block someone's door just to beat them up?

So, the person about to be met is his teammate for the 15th Night?

"Perform well in a while." Deng Yuxiang said softly.

"Definitely!"

A few minutes later, the luxury car slowed down and stopped in front of an abandoned residential area.

Lu Ran opened the door and got out, looking around.

He didn't find the Moon-Watching Person's figure, so he looked up at the rooftop of the abandoned residential building: "Are they up there?"

Deng Yuxiang walked into the weeds: "Not the one you often go to."

Lu Ran followed, whispering: "Thanks."

The reason for the thanks was self-evident.

It seems that Deng Yuxiang already had some understanding of Lu Ran, knowing why he was obsessed with training here.

Deng Yuxiang smiled: "Originally, I didn't want to meet here either.

But this area is the key area our team is responsible for guarding this 15th Night."

Lu Ran said: "We are in charge of this area?"

"Mm." Deng Yuxiang took Lu Ran into the most central residential building in the residential area, "With this place as the center, the two nearby street blocks."

Lu Ran: "The area doesn't seem very big?"

Deng Yuxiang reminded: "This time it's the 15th of the 7th lunar month."

"Oh, oh." Lu Ran nodded.

The two arrived at the rooftop all the way and saw three Moon-Watching People.

Two young men were standing in front of the rooftop railing, looking at the scenery.

They were similar in stature, over 1.8 meters tall, both with neat crew cuts, wearing black training uniforms.

In the corner of the rooftop, another middle-aged man was on the phone.

He had a square face, over forty years old, and was exactly Sun Zhengfang, the Sun Team who had treated Lu Ran's injuries.

"Here." The two young men looking at the scenery turned their heads in unison.

The two's appearances were actually 90% similar, looking like they were twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old.

Are these twins?

"Wei Long, Wei Hu." Deng Yuxiang introduced to Lu Ran, "You can just call them Brother Wei."

Lu Ran greeted them immediately, but many thoughts popped up in his heart.

Wei Long?

This name is a bit spicy!

"Hello."

"Hello, Lu Ran." Both responded, but both were cold in temperament, looking very serious.

"They were soldiers before, and transferred to the God-People Bureau after retiring." Deng Yuxiang said softly, "Both brothers are Prison Demon believers."

Lu Ran: "..."

Isn't this a coincidence~

"Hehe." Deng Yuxiang laughed, clearly knowing Lu Ran's past, "What kind of expression is this?"

Lu Ran shook his head immediately: "Nothing."

Worthy of being a Moon-Watching Person team, it is indeed full of talent!

Believers of the gods in the top three rows are all precious goods.

And in this team, Deng Yuxiang is a second-class God North Wind believer, and the Wei brothers are third-class God Prison Demon believers.

Four words: Talent explosion!

What makes Lu Ran puzzled is, why are two Prison Demon believers who are good at control and defense in the same team?

Isn't this resource overlap... oh, I understand, I'm afraid it's for me, right?

"Little Lu." Sun Zhengfang in the distance was still on the phone, taking time to wave at this side.

"Hello, Uncle Sun!" Lu Ran waved with a smile, very polite.

This is the attending physician in the team; this mission, if I'm missing an arm or a leg, I can't avoid troubling him.

Sun Zhengfang also smiled: "Big Dragon."

Wei Long: "Here!"

Sun Zhengfang gestured to Lu Ran's position: "Lightly."

Wei Long: "Yes!"

Wei Long received the order and walked toward Lu Ran with big strides.

Deng Yuxiang immediately stepped back and exhorted: "Show everything you have.

Your performance determines your role positioning in the team on the 15th Night."

Contrary to Deng Yuxiang's expectation, Lu Ran held the wooden blade and spun a blade flower.

Since she picked up Lu Ran this morning, he had been reluctant.

But at this moment, facing a strong opponent stepping forward, Lu Ran was full of fighting spirit!

Could it be,

This kid is addicted to facing Prison Demon believers?

"Understood!" Lu Ran's body tensed, his legs slightly bowed.

Isn't it just a ranking match!

Today, I'll let you see what it means to reach Platinum in one battle!

What?

You say I'm Silver?

No, no, no, you must have seen it wrong.

Also, it's not that I'm stubborn, but your matching mechanism also has problems...
