Chapter 669
During this visit, Shadow Two intruded for about an hour, then used the excuse that it was getting late to take her leave.
Before parting, Grandma Wen kept telling Shadow Two to come visit often in the future.
It could be seen that the old lady liked this presumptuous visitor very much.
Shadow Two had indeed done very well.
She really was like a thoughtful granddaughter, accompanying Grandma Wen to chat about family matters, and later accompanying her to flip through photos and recall the past.
Since her husband left, the hard years the lonely mother and daughter spent, Grandma Wen could now recall and recount them with a smile.
Lu Ran watched and sighed in admiration.
This is a great woman.
When she put on her reading glasses and flipped through the photo album with her comrade's granddaughter, she was so kind and intellectual.
Under this gentle appearance was a strong, open-minded heart.
Nowadays, Grandma Wen is very healthy, her living conditions are very good, and the daughter she raised is even more outstanding; she is a military doctor who saves lives and heals the wounded, stationed with the troops inside a Demon Cave.
Perhaps these are the blessings heaven gave to this great woman.
"Hoo~"
The evening breeze of Luo Xianshan, carrying the refreshing fragrance of grass and trees, ruffled Lu Ran's short hair.
"Give it to me." In Luo Xian Pavilion, Lu Ran sat on a long bench and reached out his hand.
The "granddaughter," who had just been gentle and lovely, was now expressionless; she knelt on one knee in front of Lu Ran and presented a thin bamboo slip and a photograph.
The photograph was a picture of Wen Lanxin and her daughter.
The bamboo slip came from Holy Lingshan; it was a letter Senior Lu Yuan had entrusted Lu Ran to pass on to his family.
Lu Ran hadn't been able to deliver it.
Specific situations require specific analysis; if Grandma Wen's family were living poorly, Lu Ran would be very willing to bring the mother and daughter to Luo Xianshan to spend their later years in the Fairy Sheep Sect.
This bamboo slip could naturally be delivered then.
But it just so happened that the mother and daughter were living very well!
Due to special reasons, Grandma Wen was also quite grateful to the God Colored Jade.
After the gods descended and suppressed the demons, the gods/human race did indeed achieve victory.
But a very realistic problem lay here: a young mother, carrying an infant in swaddling clothes, wanting to survive in a still-turbulent society, is not an easy task.
At the God-Worshipping Platform, the God Colored Jade appeared!
In that somewhat turbulent era, Wen Lanxin had the halo of being a believer, and the lonely mother and daughter immediately escaped many predicaments.
The Colored Jade Sect even gave Wen Lanxin a skill, which allowed her to give her daughter good conditions for growth.
Wen Lanxin has been grateful to Lord Colored Jade for a lifetime; some things are not convenient to tell her.
At the very least, it shouldn't come from Lu Ran's mouth.
Her daughter, Lu Yancun, is also a powerful Heavenly Luan believer, and she is rooted in the military; her identity is relatively sensitive!
Lu Yancun is not a college student like Tian Tian, who can go up the mountain if she says so, or change her faith if she says so.
Once the mother and daughter know Lu Yuan is still alive, there are too many subsequent problems.
Additionally, Wen Lanxin is over seventy, and her mental state is kept so well; Lu Ran is also truly worried that handing over this bamboo slip would instead disturb Grandma Wen's peaceful life.
During this visit, Lu Ran obtained a lot of information, enough to report back to Senior Lu.
"You did very well; go rest." Lu Ran said softly.
"Yes." Shadow Two bowed respectfully, and her figure disappeared quietly.
Lu Ran put away the photo and bamboo slip and turned his head to look at the small path in the forest: "You're a River Estuary Realm powerhouse, why are you acting so sneaky?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ran blushed a little himself.
Speaking of being sneaky, it seems he is the expert?
Qiao Yuanxi walked out and whispered: "Brother is so majestic! Do all Lu Gate disciples have to kneel to talk to you?"
Behind her followed a particularly tall and sturdy figure—Niu Zhengzheng.
Regarding his sister's words, Lu Ran subconsciously wanted to say it wasn't to that extent, it was just that the Shadow Guard was relatively special.
But thinking carefully, expanding the scope to the entire Lu Gate...
It seems there is no difference?
Qiao Yuanxi sat beside Lu Ran and muttered: "Brother is becoming more and more like Mother!"
This time, Lu Ran refuted quite quickly: "No, here it's all one-knee, just like how ancient generals salute their lord."
Qiao Yuanxi tilted her little head, looking at Lu Ran with a smile: "I don't have to, right?"
"No need." Lu Ran shook his head with a smile and looked at the dark-skinned brute, "Bull Head, you sit too."
Niu Zhengzheng sat on the side near the entrance of Luo Xian Pavilion, somewhat reserved.
Regarding this number one genius of Da Xia, Niu Zhengzheng had long since been convinced and called him "Brother Ran."
But at this moment, Niu Zhengzheng, who had already bound himself to the Evil God Soul-Splitting Demon, knew another layer of Lu Ran's identity—the Lord of Gods and Demons.
The once rough man was indeed very nervous when facing Lu Ran now.
"Bull Head has something to tell you~" Qiao Yuanxi tilted her head and rested it on her brother's shoulder, looking at her former teammate with a smile.
"Mm?" Lu Ran turned his eyes to look.
"Gate Master Lu," Niu Zhengzheng still couldn't change his address, "I feel I am about to touch the cultivation bottleneck and want to go into seclusion."
Lu Ran was happy: "After you became the Soul-Splitting Demon, the effect was immediate?"
Niu Zhengzheng was indeed very happy, grinning to reveal a mouthful of white teeth: "Since signing the contract with the Gate Master, I feel I can push myself a bit more; in this past week, the cultivation results have been great."
Lu Ran nodded and said: "Consolidate first; don't break through for now. We have to leave tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" Qiao Yuanxi blinked her eyes.
"The matter is finished; it's time to go back." Lu Ran looked at Qiao Yuanxi and teased, "What, reluctant to leave home?"
"No." Qiao Yuanxi shook her head and whispered, "Only a little bit."
Lu Ran's tone was gentle: "The living conditions there are indeed not as good as the human world, but there are many people there who share our ideals."
"Mm-hmm." Qiao Yuanxi acted out of character, nodding gently and obediently.
She held Lu Ran's arm and hugged it tighter.
Having like-minded companions is naturally good.
But most importantly...
You are there.
The next day, in the morning.
In the Hall of Worshipping Immortals, many figures were kneeling.
Lu Ran was accompanying the two Cheng grandfathers, standing outside the main hall.
Regarding not being able to find Grandfather Cheng Xin, Lu Ran felt somewhat guilty in his heart. In the past year and a half, he had heard one piece of news about Cheng Xin, from the Master of the Innocent Valley, Bai Yan.
But that was information from more than ten years ago.
Even Senior Lu Yuan, who wandered everywhere, had never seen a Fairy Sheep believer in the mountains.
When Lu Yuan helped the Innocent Valley, Grandfather Cheng Xin had already left the organization; the two had never met.
"Mountain Master, you must be careful on this trip." Cheng Yi exhorted.
Cheng Li also nodded in agreement.
After the fifteenth of last month, when the two saw Lu Ran, they were truly given a big fright!
Especially when they discovered that the Luo Xianshan Master and the Luo Xian Lady had both advanced to the Sea Realm, the two elders were even more astonished!
What exactly is the situation after this so-called God Ruins?
It actually trains people so much?!
Cheng Yi and Cheng Li could also vaguely realize that the young Mountain Master and his wife were not just ordinary cultivation improvements.
They must have killed their way out of a sea of blood and a mountain of corpses!
As for whether it was killing people or slaying demons...
Hard to say!
The two elders originally thought that with the Mountain Master's return this time, he would completely take over the Fairy Sheep Sect.
Unexpectedly, Lu Ran was not a returnee.
But a passerby in the human world.
At least at the current stage, the God does not allow the Luo Xianshan Master to return to his roots.
"Definitely!" Lu Ran's gaze swept over the two, "Our Fairy Sheep Sect, I will trouble you two elders."
"Yes!"
"It is our duty!" The two responded one after another.
"See you next time." Lu Ran stepped into the Hall of Worshipping Immortals, and Cheng Yi and Cheng Li, one on each side, slowly closed the main door.
Accompanied by the dull sound of the door closing, Lu Ran's gaze swept over the people kneeling in the hall.
Jiang Ruyi, Qiao Yuanxi, Tian Tian, Niu Zhengzheng.
Evil Shadow and two shadow guards.
One person was missing.
【Nightmare?】 Lu Ran transmitted his voice in his mind.
【Rain Alley City, my living room.】 A female voice imprinted in his mind.
Lu Ran immediately opened the teleportation mirror.
Subsequently, he widened his eyes slightly, because the person who walked out of the mirror was not Deng Yuxiang, but a tall young man.
Deng Yutang!
"You... how are you in Rain Alley City?" Lu Ran was astonished.
While speaking, Bai Manni also walked out, holding a sleeping baby girl in her arms.
This?
"A week ago, the two of them drove back to Rain Alley City and have been living in the old house with me." Deng Yuxiang walked out.
"Driving is so much trouble; if you had told me, I would have sent you, how good that would be." Lu Ran said helplessly.
"Brother Lu, take us..." Deng Yutang requested.
"Have you thought it through?"
"Thought it through!" Deng Yutang nodded heavily.
Lu Ran smiled and reached out his hand: "Welcome, Ghost General."
Deng Yutang reached out his large hand and shook it firmly.
Lu Ran looked at Bai Manni on the side and nodded with a smile: "Ghost Moon Fox?"
Demon Ghost Moon Fox, the mortal enemy of the Curse Master.
Bai Manni, who had been extremely uneasy, was suddenly overjoyed! And just as she bent her knees, her figure was controlled by a red silk thread, and she stood firmly.
Lu Ran retracted the silk thread and looked at Bai Manni's arms: "Is the child okay?"
Bai Manni's eyes were full of pleading.
Lu Ran nodded and said: "Fine, if you can't leave her, bring her."
Bai Manni nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you God Ran..."
Lu Ran gestured to the depths of the main hall: "You two go over."
【I've caused you trouble.】 Deng Yuxiang transmitted her voice again.
All along, Deng Yuxiang had prioritized Lu Ran's interests; after the North Wind City incident, she was even living for him.
But this time, Deng Yuxiang considered her family.
It just so happened that her younger brother and sister-in-law were not promising and lacked strength.
Within the Holy Lingshan Realm, anyone picked out at random would be more qualified to bind with a Stone Sculpture than the two of them.
But Deng Yuxiang forcibly pulled her brother onto the car and scolded Deng Yutang, who was harboring fantasies, awake on the balcony at home.
And Lu Ran...
This person who values relationships so much, really didn't say a word.
【What trouble? This is also what I wanted! I've told you ten thousand times, he is your brother, and he is also my brother.】
People live this life, they always have to insist on something.
Moreover, a loyal brother makes Lu Ran feel much more at ease than a powerful subordinate.
Lu Ran looked at the woman with a smile and continued to transmit: 【Besides, if that day at the school gate, Young Master Deng hadn't dragged me into your car, the two of us might not have had these stories later.】
"Mm." Deng Yuxiang lowered her head and smiled, walking toward the depths of the main hall.
Sniff~
When she passed by his side, he suddenly twitched his nose.
Mm, the fragrance of camellias.
