Chapter 659

"How have you been lately?" Jiang Ruyi tried to keep her voice gentle.

"Ugh." Tian Tian buried her face in Jiang Ruyi's back and nodded.

To be precise, that small face was buried in the waterfall of green hair, and the faint jasmine fragrance lingered in her nose.

Such a familiar fragrance.

Tian Tian liked it very much; it was a feeling of incomparable peace of mind.

After returning to the human world, Jiang Ruyi deliberately used the same brand of bath products as before.

She knew Lu Ran liked it.

Jiang Ruyi turned slowly and looked down at the little one.

"Don't cry." She reached out and stroked Tian Tian's small face, her fingertips gently wiping away the tear-stained eye sockets.

I don't know if it was tears of joy or if she was scared.

Perhaps both.

Jiang Ruyi could clearly feel the girl in her arms trembling, yet she stubbornly buried her head in her arms.

Jiang Ruyi couldn't help but feel her eyes becoming increasingly gentle: "Are you Jiang Jing, Fifth Stage? Fourth?"

"Fifth, fifth stage." Tian Tian responded timidly.

"Almost there, you'll be a Jiang Jing expert soon." Jiang Ruyi tidied the girl's short hair.

"Stuck for a... long, long time, can't go up." Tian Tian was a bit frustrated.

Advancing from the peak of the Jiang Jing to the River Estuary Realm indeed only requires a realization.

But a flash of inspiration also has a prerequisite—talent!

Without enough talent and aptitude, no matter how profound your realization is, it's all in vain.

And Lu Ran could give the girl this talent!

"Sister Ruyi, so strong." The muffled voice came from her arms, "Doesn't seem like... River Estuary Realm."

"Hmm." Jiang Ruyi was thinking about how to open the invitation, responding absent-mindedly.

Tian Tian didn't dare to speak again.

She could perceive that Sister Ruyi's gentleness had disappeared.

For a moment, Tian Tian felt panicked and anxious in her heart.

Why?

Did she hug for too long, and Sister Ruyi wasn't happy?

Or did her trembling, unbearable appearance annoy Sister Ruyi...

【Speak, she's already crying her eyes out!】 A telepathic message imprinted itself in Jiang Ruyi's mind.

Jiang Ruyi came back to her senses, only to find that the girl in her arms had stepped back, lowering her head, tears falling like small pearls.

Tian Tian didn't seem to have changed much.

Still the same as before, inferior and sensitive.

Jiang Ruyi frowned slightly; she remembered that in the second half of her senior year, Tian Tian had become much more cheerful?

Not seeing each other for a long time, how did she go back?

Jiang Ruyi hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to get straight to the point: "I'm looking for you this time because I want to invite you to join the Xiang Xianyang sect."

"Ah?" Tian Tian was a bit confused.

She subconsciously looked up, her big eyes covered with a layer of water mist, looking at Jiang Ruyi.

Just one glance, and Tian Tian lowered her head in a panic again.

Jiang Ruyi reached out and wiped the tear stains on the girl's face: "Would you like to become a Xiang Xianyang disciple?"

Tian Tian felt Sister Ruyi's gentle movements, breathed a small sigh of relief, and her always fearful heart settled a little bit.

Immediately, she nodded.

Lu Ran: "..."

Is it that simple?

Hmm... thinking about it, it makes sense.

Putting aside the emotions between the two sides for a moment, just talking about a Sea Realm expert like Jiang Ruyi, how many can ordinary people see in a lifetime?

Jiang Ruyi is also the Lady of the Human Sect of the Xiang Xianyang sect, a well-deserved big shot.

Whether it's extremely powerful personal strength or status...

When Jiang Ruyi stands in front of someone and makes a request, it's hard for the other party to refuse, right?

And they don't have the qualifications to refuse.

Jiang Ruyi raised her eyebrows slightly: "You agreed?"

"Hmm hmm." Tian Tian nodded repeatedly.

Jiang Ruyi lifted Tian Tian's face with one hand, looking directly into the girl's eyes: "Don't you need to discuss it with your family or school?"

Tian Tian looked away in a panic: "I... I listen to Sister Ruyi."

Three words suddenly popped into Jiang Ruyi's mind, the three words Lu Ran once used to evaluate her—silly girl.

"I... I'll go home and tell Lord Sword Lotus..."

"No need, and don't summon it." Jiang Ruyi interrupted directly, wanting to say "it won't care about you," but these words seemed a bit hurtful.

Even though everyone knew it, there was no need to say it out loud.

"Okay, okay." Tian Tian was held by Jiang Ruyi, her small face tilted up, looking to the side.

Coincidentally, it was the direction where Lu Ran was invisible.

That tear-stained little appearance was truly heartbreaking.

"In the days to come, you will be far from the mortal world and live with me; is that okay?" Jiang Ruyi asked softly.

Tian Tian widened her eyes slightly.

At this moment, surprise overcame fear.

Everyone knew that Jiang Ruyi was the Lady of Lady Luo Xian; Tian Tian originally thought that after joining the Xiang Xianyang sect, she could be closer to Jiang Ruyi.

But she didn't expect that an even bigger surprise was yet to come?

Could she really be by Sister Ruyi's side every day like in high school?

Heaven is so good to me!

Deng Yutang, Bai Manni, and Chang Ying have all left, but Sister Ruyi has returned...

But soon, Tian Tian thought of something else and whispered: "Can't I see Mom and Dad either?"

Jiang Ruyi smiled.

Now, Lu Ran's situation is different; he has Elder Lu under his command, who can connect the human world and the mountain world.

It's not to the point of being separated by heaven and earth.

"You can see them, but maybe you can only see them once every few years; is that okay?" Jiang Ruyi said softly.

Tian Tian struggled inwardly.

Jiang Ruyi didn't urge her, just gently wiped the tear stains on the girl's face.

This simple action made Tian Tian's eyes increasingly firm:

"Okay!"

"Hmm, the Xiang Xianyang sect will notify your family; later, you can call your mom and dad." As she spoke, Jiang Ruyi covered Tian Tian's eyes with one hand.

Taking the opportunity to pull the girl into her arms.

Lu Ran scratched his head, this scene...

Why does it look more and more like child trafficking?

As Jiang Ruyi's gaze swept over, Lu Ran threw away the messy thoughts and immediately summoned the ancient bronze mirror.

Jiang Ruyi walked toward the mirror while holding the "big doll," but before stepping in, her footsteps paused, and she lowered her head to confirm: "Are you sure?"

Tian Tian raised her small hands, holding Jiang Ruyi's slender hand covering her eyes, and nodded gently: "Hmm hmm."

Jiang Ruyi didn't say anything more and stepped into the mirror.

The invisible person behind followed, and the bronze mirror vanished without a trace.

Tian Tian couldn't see anything, but she could realize that she must have entered a very solemn and sacred occasion!

She was hugged from behind by Jiang Ruyi, already surrounded by the pressure of the Sea Realm.

Panicked.

However, the sacred aura from the unique scene could easily penetrate the pressure of the vast sea, making the respect in Tian Tian's heart overcome the fear!

Sniff~

Tian Tian twitched her small nose and smelled the faint scent of incense.

Where is this...

"It might hurt a little, don't be afraid." A gentle voice came from above her head.

Tian Tian was still confused when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her brain.

That feeling was like a tendon in her brain suddenly snapping.

"Ugh..." Tian Tian, who had been holding Jiang Ruyi's hand, immediately moved her hands down and covered her small mouth.

A subconscious action, as if she didn't want to add trouble to others.

Or didn't want to annoy Sister Ruyi.

On the side, Lu Ran looked at the girl in his girlfriend's arms and nodded secretly.

Solving problems from the height of a god can indeed make believers suffer less.

The weak god disciples in Holy Lingshan need to concentrate massive energy in their brains and use the self-harming method of "self-detonation" to get rid of the master-servant contract.

In comparison, the trauma Tian Tian suffered could almost be ignored.

"Thank you, Lord Xiang Xianyang." Lu Ran put his hands together and bowed respectfully to the stone sculpture in the hall.

"Ugh?" Tian Tian really didn't suffer much trauma.

At least she could tell that this was Lu Ran's voice!

Lu... Lu Ran?!

Lu Ran is back?

Tian Tian was excited, pulled down Jiang Ruyi's hand, and blinked hard.

Only then did she realize she was in a grand hall.

On the walls on both sides of the hall, there were many small holes, and hundreds of small Xiang Xianyang sculptures were placed in them, with different expressions, lifelike.

In the depths of the hall, there was also a large Xiang Xianyang stone sculpture.

In front of the Xiang Xianyang stone sculpture was Lu Ran, who was bowing respectfully.

"Lu..." Tian Tian opened her mouth, then looked timidly at the Xiang Xianyang stone sculpture.

"Come, thank Lord Xiang Xianyang first." Jiang Ruyi brought Tian Tian to the prayer mat and knelt down properly.

Since entering the Respecting Immortal Hall, in just a few dozen seconds, the Sword Lotus disciple had become a Xiang Xianyang believer.

After devoutly kowtowing and thanking again and again, Tian Tian turned to look at the young man.

Lu Ran smiled gently: "Long time no see?"

"Ugh." Tian Tian shrank her neck again, subconsciously hiding behind Jiang Ruyi, but then realized that compared to Lu Ran, Sister Ruyi was even more terrifying...

"After you advance to the River Estuary Realm, it will be much better." Lu Ran nodded apologetically.

Tian Tian pursed her small mouth, but didn't say anything.

"Let's go, don't disturb Lord Xiang Xianyang." Lu Ran reached out to the side and summoned an antique bronze mirror.

Tian Tian widened her eyes!

This... this this this?

Evil Mirror Demon Evil Technique?

Lu Ran winked his left eye playfully at Tian Tian and walked into the mirror.

Jiang Ruyi took the confused Tian Tian and walked into the mirror.

The world behind the mirror was an elegant pavilion located by the mountain.

The mountain breeze blew, the lush forest swayed gently, sending the refreshing fragrance of grass and trees.

In the distance, one could see the towering Cangshan, lying horizontally like a screen.

East of Cangshan, Erhai Lake was like a mirror, reflecting sparkling light under the sunlight.

"I know you have many questions." Lu Ran stood with his back to Tian Tian, leaning against the pavilion pillar, looking at the beautiful scenery of the human world.

"Lu..."

"But don't ask yet."

Tian Tian: "..."

"I'll ask first." Lu Ran chuckled, "Your fixed teammates haven't changed, right? At Wu Lie River University, have you always been in a team with Deng Yutang, Bai Manni, and Chang Ying?"

"No more, they all... all left." Tian Tian lowered her head and whispered.

"Ah?" Lu Ran was very surprised.

"Manni is pregnant with a little baby, she and Deng Yutang haven't come to school for a long time..."

"What??" Lu Ran was shocked.

A little baby?

Tian Tian said timidly: "Manni gave birth to the little baby a month ago, it's a girl, they say she weighs six jin and four liang."

"Damn!" Lu Ran slapped his forehead.

What a Brother Deng!

A person who does big things silently!

Tian Tian whispered: "Last year, many, many classmates had little babies and asked for leave, the teams were all messed up."

Lu Ran: "..."

Also, in this special background, people can get married at 18.

The root cause is that the gods need believers.

Batch after batch of believers!

"This is not easy to handle." Lu Ran felt troubled in his heart; since other people's children were just a month old, how could he take Deng Yutang to Holy Lingshan?

Jiang Ruyi asked: "Is Chang Ying the same?"

"No, Yingying didn't have a baby, she is the most promising among us, she has already become a River Estuary Realm expert!"

Speaking of Chang Ying, Tian Tian felt a little pride in her heart.

"Oh?" Lu Ran smiled softly, "So amazing?"

Didn't expect that among the few former teammates, the first to advance to the River Estuary Realm was actually a gambling dog?

"Hmm hmm!" Tian Tian nodded repeatedly, "Chang Ying was even personally summoned by Lord Spirit Sign! At the end of last semester, she left school and went on a pilgrimage."

Jiang Ruyi's expression turned cold.

"Grass!" Lu Ran's expression turned ugly, rarely swearing.

Damn!

Spirit Sign!!!

"Ah." Tian Tian was startled, not knowing what had happened.

Pilgrimage...

Isn't it a particularly glorious thing?

Sister Ruyi and Lu Ran, why are their faces so ugly?
