The time was approaching noon, and the number of guests in front of the Li Mansion had become somewhat sparse. Those who were supposed to come had already arrived, and those who had just arrived now were mostly wealthy squires from rural towns.

Xu Ran and Xing Ling came to the door of Li Mansion side by side, a little late.

At first, looking at the age of the two, the guards wanted to stop them, but after receiving a gold soul coin handed over by Xu Ran, the two guards immediately invited them in politely with smiles as bright as flowers. You should still kiss your biological father.

"Xu Ran, I find you are such a spendthrift. That's just a gold soul coin. You can buy as much clothes and food as you want, but you just throw it away like this. I'm really pissed off."

Seeing Xing Ling pouting and huffing, Xu Ran pinched her face and said, "What do you know? I mean making the best use of everything, not to mention one gold soul coin, even if it's a hundred or a thousand, You should take care of things when you need to. But you, how can you act like a housekeeper at such a young age? Your mental age must be at least thirty years old."

"Go to hell." Xing Ling rolled his eyes and gave Xu Ran a pink punch.

While talking, the two came to the main hall. Because there were too many guests to sit in the room, the banquet was held in the open air in the courtyard.

The two of them found a seat and sat down. Unexpectedly, before they had finished a cup of hot tea, a familiar voice sounded in Xu Ran's ears.

Then a figure ran over and sat next to him.

"Are you...Xu Ran?"

Looking at the seat to his left, he saw Xia Yanran's beautiful eyes staring closely at him.

There are surprises in it,

There is an accident,

More is still uncertain.

"How did you recognize me?"

Xu Ran took a sip of tea and asked doubtfully.

Although there is only one less scar on his face than before, perhaps because the blood of the protoss is too strong, his skin has become very different from before, and even his facial features have undergone some subtle changes.

From extremely ugly to extremely handsome, there is such a big gap that Xu Ran believes that most people will not recognize him.

This is also the reason why he did not wear a mask during this time.

But how did Xia Yanran recognize herself?

Could it be that she has the ability to read minds?

Without answering Xu Ran's question, Xia Yanran tightly covered her cherry mouth, staring at Xu Ran with a look of disbelief in her eyes.

"Oh my God, I didn't expect you to be so handsome!"

"Ahem, it's just restored to its original appearance, nothing to make a fuss about."

Xia Yanran's exclamation almost choked her throat. Xu Ran wiped the spilled tea and asked casually, "Are you here with your father?"

"Yeah." Xia Yanran nodded.

Seeing Xia Yanran nodding in recognition, Xu Ran's expression did not change, but his tone was a little cold, "So, does it mean that the relationship between your City Lord's Mansion and the Li family is good?"

"No, no." Xia Yanran waved her hands repeatedly, fearing that Xu Ran would misunderstand, "The Li family's status in Deakin City has been getting higher and higher over the years. Although their strength and background are not very good, the relationship network involved is very complicated. Not only is Soto City involved, but also the Wuhun Palace. I heard that Li Guangran’s eldest son Li Long is the registered disciple of the deputy master of the Wuhun Palace in Tiandou City. Based on this, no one in the Li family dares to Offended, of course this includes our City Lord’s Mansion.”

Xia Yanran sighed helplessly, and glanced aside unintentionally, and then noticed the star spirit next to Xu Ran.

At the same time, Xing Ling was also sizing up Xia Yanran.

The two women's eyes met, and sparks flew in the air.

"By the way, who is the girl next to you?"

"My name is Xing Ling, and I am Xu Ran's good friend." Xing Ling rushed to answer before Xu Ran could speak, and she specially emphasized the word "good" in the word "good friend", which was self-evident.

Faced with Xing Ling's provocation, Xia Yanran responded without hesitation, "Oh, it turns out we are friends. Let me introduce myself. My name is Xia Yanran, and I am Xu Ran's fiancée."

"What did you say? Fiancee?"

Xingling frowned and turned his questioning eyes to Xu Ran.

Xu Ran was even more shocked by Xia Yanran's words, and squirted out a sip of tea, all over the face of the fat man opposite.

After being sprayed with tea for no reason, the fat man's face immediately darkened.

"Stinky boy, you are courting death!"

Xu Rang was just about to apologize, but Xia Yanran beat her to it, but any normal person could tell that she didn't mean the slightest bit of apology in her words.

"do you have any opinion?"

Faced with Xia Yanran's strong "apology", Fatty smiled angrily and quickly expressed that he had no objection at all.

After that, he did not sit back down, but quietly changed tables, looking at Xia Yanran as if he was far away from the god of plague.

As the fat man left, several other people at the same table also got up and left very wisely.

Soon, only Xu Ran and three people were left at the table.

Xing Ling and Xia Yanran were still confronting each other at this moment, and there was a strong smell of gunpowder in the air. They didn't know anything about treating the girl Xu Ran, so they were ready to move to another table with the cup in hand.

Thirty-six strategies, walking is the best strategy.

Just when he stood up, he could only sit back helplessly as two shouts sounded.

"sit down!"

The two girls shouted almost in unison, making Xu Ran smile bitterly but helpless.

However, this explosive state did not last long. After hearing Xia Mingfeng's call, Xia Yanran had to leave early, but before leaving, she still glared at the star spirit very provocatively, as if to say, "Let's fight again next time."

Not to be outdone, the Star Spirit stared back, as if to say "I'm waiting for you."

After Xia Yanran left, Xu Ran briefly explained the agreement between the two under Xing Ling's questioning. After repeatedly confirming that the relationship between the two was just an agreement, Xing Ling's expression returned to normal.

Time passed slowly, and with the arrival of some scattered guests, Xu Ran's table was filled with people again.

After drinking all the tea in the cup, Xu Ran was waiting boredly for the birthday banquet to begin, but Xing Ling suddenly stood up and left, saying that she wanted to go for convenience and asked Xu Ran to occupy her seat.

Not long after leaving this time, Xing Ling came back with a somewhat shaky behavior. Although he tried his best to hide it, he didn't know that the disappointment on his face had already been seen by Xu Ran.

"Have you given up?"

"Ah."

"What did your aunt say?"

"She said that she was an only child and had no so-called sister at all. She also said that I, a commoner, wanted to get ahead of her and called me shameless. After that, she kicked me out amidst the ridicule of many people."

Star Spirit said, his eyes gradually filled with tears.

Originally, the whole village was massacred, leaving her alone, so she pinned all her hopes on the aunt she had never met.

But she never thought that the other party not only refused to recognize her, but also humiliated her. This made her feel more and more wronged as she thought about it. Tears rolled in her eyes for a long time before finally falling.

Because it was a birthday banquet and there were many people around, Xingling lowered her head and cried very quietly the whole time, trying not to attract anyone's attention.

Seeing her like this, Xu Ran wanted to say something comforting, but couldn't.

After thinking for a while, an idea suddenly came to his mind, and then he mysteriously whispered something into Xing Ling's ear.

"Really, can you really let me cultivate my soul power?"

There were still tears in Xing Ling's eyes. Although there was still sadness, it was temporarily suppressed by the strong anticipation and shock.

Xu Ran nodded, "Although I'm not % sure, I guess it's about the same. After the birthday banquet is over, I will take you to find a person called the master. His understanding of martial arts is second to none. If you dare to recognize the number one, with his help, you have a great chance of success."

"Really? Don't lie to me, or I'll bite you to death."

"Believe it or not." Xu Ran rolled his eyes and looked elsewhere.

Haw!

Caught off guard, Xu Ran felt a thin lip press on his cheek, and at the same time, there was a sincere thank you from the stars in his ears.

"Xu Ran, thank you."

"It's too early to say this now. It won't be too late to thank me after I help you cultivate your soul power."

Xu Ran raised his eyebrows and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"So, this time it doesn't count."
