Chapter 83

Regarding the return journey, Jiang Ruyi made a plan, leading the team to walk and stop.

Until the afternoon of the 9th of the ninth lunar month, everyone walked out of the demon cave.

Lu Ran's mood was wonderful!

When he came, the Soul-Splitting Demon evil sculpture in his sculpture garden hadn't been activated yet.

When he left, his Soul-Splitting Demon statue had already been cultivated to Stream Realm, Fifth Stage!

Speaking of which, Lu Ran really thought the evil sculpture could break through to the River Realm.

I don't know if Lord Xiang Xianyang was lining his own pockets again...

In short, everyone only stayed in the demon cave for 20 days and had such results!

Must give a heavy thanks to that cruel sword cultivator—Guan Yiren.

When walking out of the demon cave, the magic crystals seized by everyone numbered in the thousands.

Among them were over seven hundred Mist Artifact magic crystals, nearly five hundred Stream Artifact magic crystals, and more than thirty River Artifact magic crystals!

Everyone killed all the way, which was truly a monstrous sin...

Of course, they killed cruel and tyrannical evil demons, so there wasn't much guilt.

"Ah~ out of prison!"

Qiao Yuanxi was the first to walk out of the military camp building, standing outside the gate, stretching fiercely.

In the hall behind her, Deng Yutang and others were calculating the magic crystal gains with the military.

Lu Ran and Jiang Ruyi were together, talking to Instructor Cai Yunfei.

"Thank you, Instructor, for your care along the way." Jiang Ruyi said softly, her face full of gratitude.

"Thank you, Instructor Cai!" Lu Ran echoed with a smile.

"When you come again, don't look for me." Cai Yunfei looked at Lu Ran with a smile, "Meeting you guys, I'm unlucky."

Lu Ran nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, next time I'll definitely look for you."

Cai Yunfei widened his eyes: "Eh?"

Little brother, can't you understand human language!

Cai Yunfei had just been able to tease with a smile, but now he turned and left.

Lu Ran looked at Cai Yunfei's back: "After I advance to the River Realm, I'll definitely come again; I want to see what's on the other side of the forest!

Take care, Instructor Cai, wait for me!"

"Get lost!" Cai Yunfei said irritably, not looking back, just waving his hand.

In the hall, the serious soldiers also couldn't help but show smiles.

In their hearts, they thought these students must be troublesome, and Cai Yunfei must have spent a lot of effort to escort them until now.

This kind of inference wasn't quite right.

After all, Cai Yunfei had never made a move; he didn't spend any effort at all, just spent his heart...

Lu Ran turned around with a smile and looked at Jiang Ruyi.

But the girl ignored Lu Ran and walked out.

Lu Ran followed closely: "It's been so many days, still angry?"

Jiang Ruyi still ignored Lu Ran.

Lu Ran joked: "Is this keeping a little notebook on me?"

Jiang Ruyi finally stopped and looked at Lu Ran with her beautiful eyes: "Didn't you say, wait until we get back to talk about it?

There are so many people here, I'm enduring it."

"Uh." Lu Ran scratched his head, watching Jiang Ruyi walk out the door with her long legs.

Outside the building, Qiao Yuanxi naturally took Jiang Ruyi's arm and said something with a smile.

From time to time, Qiao Yuanxi would turn to look at Lu Ran.

Lu Ran was hesitating whether to activate the Evil Technique: Evil Knowledge to eavesdrop on their whispers when a beautiful figure appeared beside him.

"What's wrong, Team Leader Guan?" Lu Ran looked at Guan Yiren.

"Not bad." Guan Yiren had no expression, praised faintly, and continued to walk out.

Lu Ran: "..."

Being cold to this extent?

Lu Ran was once again glad that Jiang Ruyi didn't join the Master Master Jian Yi sect.

To use Instructor Cai's words: Can you stand this~

Ten minutes later, Lu Ran followed Deng Yutang and others out of the central building.

This time it was Tian Tian who reported; she learned from Deng Yutang's experience last time, and the report was very brief:

"Excluding food and lodging, the summer homework for the two teams, and the 10 Stream Artifact magic crystals we each left behind.

We got a total of 28,500 yuan, and with 7 of us, we can each get over four thousand."

The homework content for the two teams was the same; each team had to hand in 300 Mist Artifact magic crystals and 50 Stream Artifact magic crystals.

Fortunately, the official allowed the two teams to work together, not letting everyone pay more magic crystals because "there is strength in numbers."

Jiang Ruyi nodded gently: "On the way, add everyone's contact information and transfer the money."

"Oh." Tian Tian nodded obediently, "That soldier uncle said there's a shuttle bus over there, once an hour."

"Let's go."

"By the way, Brother!" Qiao Yuanxi leaned to Lu Ran's side, "Your city just experienced a special event.

On the 15th of this month, don't you have to participate in the city defense mission?"

"Yes, I'm on vacation."

Qiao Yuanxi looked expectant: "Then do you want to go home with me?"

Lu Ran's heart moved: "Accompany you to fight on the 15th?"

He was naturally willing to protect his sister; even if he could help her share a little bit of pressure, it was excellent.

"Can you, Brother Ran?" Niu Zhengzheng over there was also interested.

Qiao Yuanxi pouted: "Silly bull, you're thinking too beautifully.

The school and the God People Bureau manage it so strictly, how could they let us add an outside helper for nothing?"

Qiao Yuanxi's team had strong strength and was among the best in the school, belonging to the existence competing for the top spot.

With so many eyes watching, it was impossible to let them cheat.

"That's true." Niu Zhengzheng smiled foolishly, "If Brother Ran could join the team, that would be great."

"Hehe~" Qiao Yuanxi was full of pride and hugged Lu Ran's arm, "If my brother were here, what would we be defending the shelter for?

With the four of us, couldn't we go out on patrol directly?"

Niu Zhengzheng's eyes shone, full of fantasy: "Patrol..."

Lu Ran: "Patrol is too dangerous, the intensity is too high. Not to mention killing the enemy, just running around for support could tire people to death.

Before the River Realm, you guys should not try it easily."

Niu Zhengzheng was stunned for a moment, reacted for a long time, and asked suspiciously: "Brother Ran has patrolled?"

"Hee hee~" Qiao Yuanxi was even prouder, raising her little face, "My brother didn't just patrol.

He was patrolling on the 15th of the seventh lunar month!"

Niu Zhengzheng widened his eyes: "Ah??"

Even Guan Yiren was secretly shocked.

Patrolling on the 15th of the seventh lunar month?

Niu Zhengzheng felt terrible: "You should have said so earlier, Brother Ran!

You're someone who patrolled on the 15th of the seventh lunar month, what am I competing with you for?"

Lu Ran waved his hand: "Our Rain Lane City is just a small place, not as dangerous as you think, incomparable to the capital."

"Brother, come back to the capital with me?" Qiao Yuanxi took the opportunity to invite him again.

Lu Ran thought and thought, but still shook his head: "You have the God Statues of Master Master Jian Yi and Flower Lantern there, so I shouldn't disturb you too much.

And I have to go home, I have to pray in front of Lord Xiang Xianyang's God Statue."

As a believer, this statement was impeccable.

But coming from Lu Ran's mouth... well, it was truly a bit insincere.

If you want to say practicing in front of the shrine, Lu Ran does it every day, but praying devoutly?

Hehe!

Lord Xiang Xianyang's words were not false.

In some actions, Lu Ran did indeed reveal a trace of "disrespect for the gods."

The trio of Jiang, Tian, and Deng all tensed up, and consequently, the Jingcheng trio also stood ready.

Because, from a personal concept, Lu Ran considered himself a very devout believer, infinitely respectful to Lord Xiang Xianyang.

He also firmly believed that God: Xiang Xiang Xianyang could definitely receive his share of faith power.

This conflict between "personal concept" and "self-subconscious" was undoubtedly quite contradictory.

I don't know,

What exactly happened to Lu Ran to cause this special phenomenon.

What's more interesting is:

Ever since Lu Ran invited the God Statue of the Shrine home, no matter how Lu Ran performed, God: Xiang Xiang Xianyang never blamed him.

Didn't even remind him!

It wasn't until the 15th of last month, when Lu Ran saw the statues of the God Clan in the sculpture garden, that Xiang Xianyang mentioned it once.

And at that time, Lu Ran still thought Lord Xiang Xianyang was talking nonsense.

He only felt that offerings, incense, etc., were all worldly rituals and didn't represent anything.

At this moment, facing Qiao Yuanxi's invitation, the excuse Lu Ran gave was naturally fake.

He wasn't going back to pray.

But wanted to practice hard, advance early, and add glory to the Xiang Xiang Xianyang sect.

Of course, if he could have the honor to chat with Lord Xiang Xianyang when he returned home this time and study how to change the shape of the Evil Technique: Soul-Splitting Demon Horn, that would be even better...

"It seems Mom had expected it." Qiao Yuanxi pouted, "Here, take the Cold Night Sword back."

Lu Ran: "..."

Qiao Yuanxi's little face changed as soon as it was said, suddenly smiling, her lips leaning to Lu Ran's ear:

"Sister Ruyi is so beautiful! Her strength is strong, and she is so gentle and considerate."

Lu Ran tilted his head slightly, his expression strange.

Everyone had been in the demon cave for 20 days and fought side by side for so long, naturally having a certain understanding of each other.

Moreover, Jiang Ruyi lived and ate with Qiao Yuanxi, naturally cultivating a certain affection.

Qiao Yuanxi whispered: "I like Sister Ruyi very much~

Do you want to help me marry her back?"

Lu Ran:???

You like her, and I marry her back?

Is this human language?

Qiao Yuanxi asked suspiciously: "Why aren't you talking?"

Lu Ran said irritably: "Marry her back and let her spoil you and pet you every day, right?"

Qiao Yuanxi smiled: "Yeah, yeah!"

Lu Ran: "Then what am I, and then it's none of my business?"

Qiao Yuanxi said as a matter of course: "How is that possible, you have to spoil me with her!"

Lu Ran: "..."

No problem!

It was my brother who was rash.

"Get on the bus." In front, Jiang Ruyi called out, "Yuanxi, pull up a group later, Tian Tian will divide the money."

"Okay~" Qiao Yuanxi's expression was happy.

Lu Ran suddenly popped out a sentence: "Buy fewer burgers; I'll tell Mom how much money you earned."

"Ah..." The smile on Qiao Yuanxi's face disappeared immediately.

Lu Ran felt physically and mentally comfortable and quickly got on the bus.

Looking at the pouting girl, Jiang Ruyi couldn't help but show a smile.

Qiao Yuanxi didn't agree: "Sister Ruyi, look at him!"

Jiang Ruyi said softly: "The money earned is fixed, but you can ask your brother for it separately."

"Eh?" Qiao Yuanxi's eyes lit up, "That's right!"

Qiao Yuanxi's heart moved, and she darted onto the bus.

Jiang Ruyi was about to get on the bus, but saw Qiao Yuanxi in front stop and turn to look.

"What?" Jiang Ruyi's expression was suspicious.

Qiao Yuanxi whispered: "Sister Ruyi, do you like the Black Ice Sword I used?"

Jiang Ruyi's expression was stunned.

The Lu siblings might not know that twenty days ago, the content of the conversation between the two at the tail of the van was accidentally heard by Jiang Ruyi.

Qiao Yuanxi had a mysterious little look, whispering: "Sister, listen to me, you ask my brother!"

Jiang Ruyi: "..."

Qiao Yuanxi: "Just treat it as borrowing it!

We are all in the same team; the higher the combat power, the higher the survival rate!"

Jiang Ruyi increased her tone: "Get on the bus."

"I don't know what my mom is thinking." Qiao Yuanxi whispered, "My brother doesn't use a sword.

Leaving it with him is such a waste!

You borrow it, and this matter will be done... cough, you borrow it first, that sword is so sharp!"

Jiang Ruyi increased her tone: "Blocking the people behind, get on the bus."

"Oh." Qiao Yuanxi was urged again and again, so she had to turn and get on the bus first.

But she didn't notice that Jiang Ruyi behind her had a blush on her cheeks.
