Chapter 530: A Door Away

After hearing what Ran Qingmo said, Xu Yuan had to admit that he did panic for a moment, but this was not because of fear. It was just like when he was a student in his previous life and he came out of a hotel with his ex-girlfriend and bumped into his parents. He felt an inexplicable guilty conscience. .

However, according to experience, the more guilty you are at this time, the more dissatisfied the girl's parents will be, and they may even be so dissatisfied that they can't control their emotions and want to beat you. If you are calmer and more mature, you may be able to take the initiative.

Of course, experiences from previous lives cannot be applied to this life indiscriminately.

If Ran Jianli, the muscular old man playing with the giant sword, saw his precious apprentice spending the whole night with this playboy, he would probably chop him into pieces.

Xu Yuan is only one door away from death.

Of course, this is a joke.

After all, this was the Prime Minister's Mansion, so it was impossible for Ran Jianli to really chop him up, but a beating was definitely inevitable.

But the premise of all this is that the old man can enter the inner courtyard first.

The heavy gate of the inner courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the protective formations engraved on it may only be regarded as a thin piece of paper to Ran Jianli, but it is a thin piece of paper that cannot be touched.

The inner courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion is the real seat of the Privy Council of the entire Prime Minister's Mansion. Ran Qingmo was able to come in because Xu Yinhe agreed. Even if the rest of the people use their souls to explore the inner courtyard, it is an act that exceeds the red line.

It is impossible for Ran Jianli to not understand this.

So to sum up, nothing will happen if you don't open the door.

After pondering for a while, Xu Yuan asked Ran Qingmo:

"Why does your master know you are in the inner courtyard?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Yuan realized that this question was a bit idiotic.

Last night, Da Bingtuozi rushed back to the Prime Minister's Mansion without stopping. Ran Jianli, an old man who was both a father and a master, definitely wanted to follow him and watch, but unfortunately due to his status, he could not come to visit him on the night of New Year's Eve. He ran over to Qingxin Pavilion in a hurry and saw that no one was there. Ran Qingmo was not in a temperament to run around, so he naturally ran to the inner courtyard to block the door.

Thinking about it, Xu Yuan changed his question before Ran Qingmo spoke:

"Hey, how did your master communicate with you?"

The inner courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion is engraved with the top-notch Chaos Yin Formation to avoid detection by the mind soul, and the prerequisite for sound transmission is to first use the mind soul or source energy to lock the person who wants to transmit the sound. Theoretically, with such a layer of formation, Ran Jianli would not be able to lock Ran Qingmo with his source energy or soul, let alone transmit sound.

When Ran Qingmo heard this, he reached out to his neck honestly and took out a jade pendant-like object from Mo Yi's lapel:

"use this"

"."

Xu Yuan stared at the jade pendant with slightly doubtful eyes.

Xu Xinyao on the side looked at it for a few breaths, and suddenly said with a little novelty:

"Brother, this seems to be a portable communication weapon similar to the Tianxun Yuanjing. Although the range is not large, it can ignore the interference of Luanyin."

Ran Qingmo looked at Xu Xinyao, whose eyes were shining, and asked softly while passing the jade pendant:

".You want to see it?"

"Eh? Is that okay?"

Xu Xinyao blinked, reached out to pick it up, and said with a smile: "Thank you, sister Qingmo."

"Snapped."

Before Xu Xinyao's fair hands even touched the jade pendant, she was slapped away by Xu Yuan without mercy.

Xu Yuan glared at her and said:

"What are you looking at? You want to see everything, but can't you do your own research?"

A blush appeared on the back of her fair hands. Xu Xinyao rubbed the back of her hands in pain, her eyes were a little resentful, and she muttered:

"This jade pendant is not yours, Third Brother."

Xu Yuan was too lazy to pay attention to her. He held Ran Qingmo's hand holding the jade pendant, helped her stuff the jade pendant into her clothes, and said:

"Don't take this jade pendant out casually."

Ran Qingmo raised his eyes:

"Huh? Oh"

Xu Yuan shook his head gently and sighed in his heart.

This big Bing Tuozi is really stupid, you can show him such secrets casually.

If Tianxun Yuanjing is compared to a mobile phone, then the jade pendant in Ran Qingmo's hand can be regarded as a short-range radio.

Although this kind of object is of little use at the strategic level, it can surprise people at the tactical level. After all, there is no communication device in the Prime Minister's Mansion that can ignore "full-screen channel blocking interference".

From this point of view, the people of the world should not be underestimated. The Xiangfu is not the only force that is working hard to climb the formation technology tree to prepare for war.

Just thinking,

"Tuk-tuk-tuk-"

A heavy knock on the door suddenly sounded from the courtyard door. Xu Yuan subconsciously shuddered and took half a step back.

Although it seems impossible, according to the character description of Ran Jianli in "Cangyuan", he is really a little embarrassed that the muscular old man broke in directly.

But Ran Jianli outside the door was still rational. After all, in his opinion, the dandy third son of the Xu family had been assassinated. Even if his disciple stayed in the inner courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion for a whole night, he would at most be with the adopted daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. A night of secret conversation in the boudoir.

After knocking on the door, Ran Jianli just coaxed in that low voice:

"Qing Mo, I know you are inside. Open the door and I will come to pick you up."

Ran Qingmo glanced back at Xu Yuan:

"Well, can I open the door for Master?"

Xu Yuan smiled sarcastically:

"Do you want to go back now?"

Ran Qingmo's eyes wandered back and forth in the direction of Xu Yuanhe's door. He thought for a moment and shook his head slightly:

"Do you want me to go back?"

Xu Yuan smiled softly and subconsciously reached out to hug the girl, but she avoided him cautiously.

She stared at him:

"Xu Yuan. What are you doing?"

Being hugged by Xu Yuan, she felt strange. It would take a long time to enter meditation, which would affect efficiency.

Reaching out to grab nothing, Xu Yuan was not embarrassed and said softly:

"Of course I don't want to either. Then you can tell your master to go back first?"

"Okay."

Ran Qingmo nodded, stomped on the snow to the gate of the courtyard, and replied in a clear voice through a heavy wooden door:

"Master. Xu Yuan asked me to ask you to go back first."

"."Xu Yuan.

"."Xu Xinyao.

"."Xu Changge.

There was a deathly silence outside the door.

Ran Qingmo turned his eyes and looked at Xu Yuan with a dull expression, and asked softly:

"Xu Yuan... Master doesn't reply, what should I do?"

"."

Xu Yuan's eyes twitched, and he glanced at the dead silence behind the courtyard gate. He didn't reply to Ran Qingmo immediately, but asked Xu Xinyao quickly and quietly:

"Xinyao, Ran Qingmo doesn't have the soul key of the inner courtyard formation, so outsiders shouldn't be able to hear her words, right?"

The sound-proof formation engraved in the inner courtyard is one-way, and the sounds outside can be heard inside, but if the sounds inside don't want to be transmitted, the outsiders can't hear them at all.

Xu Xinyao glanced at Xu Yuan, rubbed the back of her hand that had just been hit, and said faintly:

"I can't hear it."

Xu Yuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then heard Xu Xinyao add:

"It may be possible to hear it, after all, the national teacher is a saint."

"."Xu Yuan.

As soon as her heart began to beat faster, Xu Xinyao added calmly:

"But because the Yingyuan formation in the inner courtyard didn't react just now, the national teacher probably didn't use his power, so he still didn't hear it."

"."Xu Yuan.

This fourth sister actually learned bad things.

"Bang!"

He slammed his head on the fourth sister's forehead without a good mood. The force was so strong that Xu Xinyao took two steps back. She squatted on the ground with her head covered, revealing only a pair of pitiful beautiful eyes staring at Xu Yuan with resentment.

Dare to be angry but dare not speak.

Xu Yuan snorted:

"Hehe, you like to tease me"

"Bang!"

Before the word "brother" fell, there was another muffled sound, and a thick slap was slapped directly on the back of Xu Yuan's head. The whole person was caught off guard and was slapped into the snow on the ground with a thud, raising a snow mist.

Xu Changge slowly withdrew his hand, humming softly:

"You only know how to bully Xinyao when you have a little cultivation, what a virtue."

"."Xu Yuan.

"Puff"

Xu Xinyao, squatting on the side and covering her head, looked at her eldest brother who suddenly appeared and her third brother who was embedded in the snow, and smiled sweetly and laughed out loud: "Kukukuku~"

"."

Listening to the laughter coming from beside him, Xu Yuan lay down in the snow without saying a word and pretended to be dead.

It's not that he dared not speak, but mainly because Ran Qingmo was there, so he had to save some face for himself.

"Hmph."

Glancing at his third brother lying motionless in the snow, Xu Changge resisted the urge to kick him, turned around, and looked at Ran Qingmo at the door.

"."

The moment their eyes met, Ran Qingmo felt as if she was facing a formidable enemy. She was wondering if she should take out the ink sword to help if Xu Yuan stood up and fought with his elder brother. Xu Changge suddenly threw her a token:

"This is the temporary soul key of the inner courtyard. It's best not to mention to your master that Xu Yuan is still alive, otherwise he might really die."

Ran Qingmo caught it with a puzzled look, but after looking at Xu Yuan lying on the ground, he still looked at Xu Changge with vigilance.

Xu Changge's eyes curved unconsciously when he saw this, and whispered:

"If you want to help him, wait until you are at the source before trying again."

After that, the snow remained as it was, and Qingyi was gone.

"."

"."

"Third brother, the eldest brother has left."

Xu Xinyao pulled the corner of the dead man's clothes and reminded him with a smile: "You can get up now, Kukukuku~"

"Hua Lala——"

The snow slid down, Xu Yuan raised his eyes and glared at Xu Xinyao fiercely, but this time he did not do it again. He got up and snorted and ignored her.

Xu Xinyao was very sensible and stopped laughing when she saw this. She helped Xu Yuan pat the scattered snow crystals on his back and long hair, and rubbed the back of his head that was hit.

After a while of cleaning, Xu Yuan turned his eyes to Ran Qingmo, but saw that the big ice ball was staring at the two siblings with a gloomy look:

"Xu Yuan. Are you okay?"

Xu Yuan shook his head:

"Xu Changge was very measured in his actions. You can use the soul key to ask your master to go back."

"Okay."

Ran Qingmo turned around with his eyes downcast, activated the soul key with his mind, and whispered to the door:

"Master, I don't want to go back yet."

This time, a voice came from outside the door.

Ran Jianli was very puzzled:

"Why? That kid is not in the mansion again."

"Yeah. I."

Ran Qingmo was not very good at lying. He stumbled and said "ah oh" twice, then turned his eyes and looked at Xu Yuan eagerly.

Xu Yuan rolled his eyes and pointed directly at Xu Xinyao beside him.

Ran Qingmo understood and whispered:

"I want to accompany Xinyao."

After a short silence, the muscular old man outside the door started to play the victim:

"Qingmo, Master's wife is not here, and you are the only relative of this old master in Di'an. I am still waiting to have dinner with you on New Year's Day."

Ran Qingmo thought about it and replied seriously:

"But, Master, didn't you say last night that you would go to the New Year's banquet at noon?"

"."Ran Jianli.

"Well, Master, you mean dinner."

"But, there is also a dinner party at the New Year's Banquet."

"How about this, Qingmo, you open the door first, okay?"

"Master, I know you." Ran Qingmo's voice was faint.

"What?" Ran Jianli was puzzled.

"Well, as soon as I opened the door, Master, you would take me away by force."

"." Ran Jianli suddenly had an urge to smash the door.
