Chapter 531 You Want to Beat Him, I Want to Help You
The conversation between the master and the apprentice of the Ran family was very enjoyable. The old man and the young man stood directly across the wooden door to start the performance of Little Red Riding Hood.
Ran Jianli, a bad old man, didn't care about his image as a saint and coaxed and lied to Ran Qingmo outside. He almost cried to his disciples, but Da Bingtuozi was unmoved at all.
But listening to the conversation between the master and the apprentice over there, the smile on Xu Yuan's lips gradually faded, and the vigilance in his heart gradually rose.
He discovered a problem.
When Ran Qingmo makes up her mind, no matter how reasonable you are, she can always refute you from a novel angle.
And more importantly, if you lie to her, she can accurately reveal the purpose of your lie.
The former is okay, but the latter is a bit dangerous.
The master and apprentice fought each other through the inner courtyard door, and finally ended with Ran Jianli leaving, cursing.
However, the person Ran Jianli was scolding was not Ran Qingmo. His disciple couldn't bear it, so he was scolding Xu Yinhe.
Called by name.
After scolding him, he didn't forget to kick the snowdrift on the roadside, which flew up to a height of tens of meters directly in front of the inner courtyard. It's hard to imagine that this was the size of Imperial Master Dayan.
Staring at the snow mist falling like a waterfall, Xu Yuan was thinking about leaving, but suddenly realized that Ran Jianli's move was not just to vent his anger.
Now the Holy Lord is still a guest in the Prime Minister's Mansion. There is such a big commotion here. It is impossible not to detect it with his cultivation. The inner courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion is such an important place that no outsider can enter, but Ran Jianli's The apprentice went in, how would Li Yaoxuan view this?
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan's eyes took on a strange color, and the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously.
It's true that Ran Jianli came to pick up Ran Qingmo this morning, but it's also true that he showed it to Li Yaoxuan. Once the seeds of suspicion are planted, it will only take root and sprout.
This old man looks rough and has quite a lot of bad intentions.
After thinking for a while, Xu Yuan gently shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
When the father put Ran Qingmo into the inner courtyard last night, he might not have taken advantage of this to show off to the royal family. After all, the emperor's recent behavior had really crossed the line.
but
On this first day of the Lunar New Year, the Prime Minister's Mansion was really busy. The emperor was here, and the leaders of the clan alliance were also here. In a sense, it was a gathering of the three giants of Dayan.
"."
After Ran Jianli made such a fuss, Xu Yuan had no intention of going straight back to the courtyard to rest. Looking at Ran Qingmo walking slowly from the door, he asked softly:
"Your master is gone, what are you going to do later?"
Ran Qingmo stood still in front of Xu Yuan and thought for a while:
"Cultivation. What about you?"
have to.
Fits the stereotype of a big ice lump.
Xu Yuan turned around and walked towards the depths of the inner courtyard, and said casually:
"I'm going to go to the dark prison with Xinyao."
"Black prison...?" Ran Qingmo's quiet eyes were slightly surprised.
"Yes, it's the one you think of."
Xu Yuan pointed to his feet and explained: "Is the headquarters of the Black Prison right under our feet? Do you want to come with us?"
Hearing this invitation, Ran Qingmo said nothing, with hesitation in his eyes. He followed for a while and then said softly:
"I'd better not go. I'll just go back to my house and practice."
Xu Yuan looked back and grinned:
"You can go if you want. For now, the fact that I am still alive is the biggest secret of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The things in the black prison are nothing. My father has already acquiesced in letting you in last night."
Ran Qingmo was obviously moved when he heard this, but after blinking his dark eyes, he still insisted:
"I'd better go back to the house and practice."
"Why?"
"I can't beat your brother now."
"ah?"
Xu Yuan twitched the corner of his mouth and stopped subconsciously, unable to turn his mind around.
Ran Qingmo looked at Xu Yuan with his eyes and said seriously:
"Xu Yuan, your eldest brother is actually very strong."
I get beaten every day, how can I not know that he is strong?
With a curse in his heart, Xu Yuan smacked his lips, considered for a moment, and whispered:
"Why are you trying to beat that guy?"
"Because when he hits you, you seem to want to hit him back."
"."
Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then his heart started to smile. Looking at the serious little face of Da Bingtuozi in front of him, Xu Yuan deliberately asked softly:
"Then Xu Changge just beat me up, why didn't you help?"
"I can't beat him."
Ran Qingmo pursed his lips, pointed to the left side of where Xu Yuan was lying just now, and said in a low voice:
"If I help you, I will be beaten down by him, and then you will be beaten even worse by him."
"."
The corners of Xu Yuan's eyes twitched unconsciously.
There is a saying that for his sake, Xu Changge would not beat up Ran Qingmo, but the king would blame Ran Qingmo's share on him.
Ran Qingmo came up to help just now. In addition to that slap, he might have to receive two kicks.
Ran Qingmo's dark and translucent eyes were filled with determination:
"Xu Yuan...when I break through the origin, I should be able to help you."
"."
Looking at each other speechless.
But at this moment, a burst of "huhuhu" chuckle came from beside him at an inappropriate time.
"."
Xu Yuan glanced at Xiaosi who was holding back his laughter next to him, resisted the urge to give her a blow to the brain, and said softly to Ran Qingmo:
"If you want to help me, the Origin Realm may not be enough."
Ran Qingmo nodded without surprise:
"I know that your elder brother is very strong. Even if I break through Yuanchu, I may not be his opponent."
"That's not what I meant."
".Ah?" Ran Qingmo opened his red lips slightly.
Xu Yuan said faintly:
"He's not the only one who would beat me up."
"Are there others?" Ran Qingmo asked softly.
"Yes, my uncle."
"Uncle?"
Ran Qingmo murmured, his clear eyes seemed to want to recall who Xu Yuan's uncle was.
Xu Yuan pointed directly at the sky and reminded:
"It was the one who cut the sky apart that night."
"."
Ran Qingmo shrank his neck subconsciously.
Xu Yuan came forward and asked softly:
"If he wants to beat me, I want to beat him back, will you help?"
"."
Ran Qingmo pursed his red lips and was silent for a while before he said softly under Xu Yuan's smiling eyes:
"Then I may have to wait a little longer, but I will practice hard."
"Kukuhuhuhu~"
The laughter came again, interrupting the conversation between the two. Xu Xinyao's fair face was already flushed, but with a cold look, the laughter stopped abruptly.
Xu Xinyao blinked and whispered obediently:
"What's wrong?"
"."
Xu Yuan glanced at the fourth sister and said nothing.
Xu Xinyao had someone backing her up, so she whispered:
"Third brother, what's wrong?"
"Is there a possibility that you can go to the Black Prison and wait for me first?"
"It's okay, Xinyao can wait."
"By the way, how many taels of silver did the Tianan Chamber of Commerce allocate for the research and development of the soul ring?" Xu Yuan suddenly asked.
"."Xu Xinyao.
Xu Yuan raised his hand to lift up Xu Xinyao's long hair, touched her delicate earlobe, and said softly:
"Xinyao, you don't want to see this silver being used by your brother for other things, right?"
