Chapter 64 Reunion at Lou Nan

  "Little brother, let's go take a look at the excitement in the south of the building!"

  "Exactly, I was just thinking of going, but I wanted someone to go with, now it's settled, we'll go together, haha..."

  "Every time there's a grand gathering at this academy, many outstanding talents emerge, it's quite a spectacle!"

  "It would be even better if we could make friends!"

  "You're thinking too much, those famous big shots wouldn't even notice us small potatoes."

  "That's also true..."

  "Let's set off quickly! There are only a few days left before it begins..."

  All the way, the most heard is about this college grand gathering. The people here are lacking in entertainment and more worship strong ones, so as long as there is a strong fight, they want to go see it. Asking people how to walk on good roads, Warlight thinks that there are still a few days left, and it's not too urgent, first take her treasure to stroll around, and at worst, just catch another flat-mouthed flame bird later.

  "Xiao Er, let's not rush, how about we take a stroll first?"

  "Listen to your mother..."

  Gently stroking the baby's face, a beautiful feeling in her heart. Everything that happened before was just a dream, and after waking up from the dream, there were no scars left behind. She should live her life as she pleased.

  "Huh? Mom..." The little fellow patted her and pointed for her to see.

  Luo Yinglang? How did he end up here? Watching him enter a different courtyard, lightly and boldly taking advantage of no one noticing, also jumped over the wall and went in.

  It was just a small courtyard, simple and unadorned, with only two servants occasionally passing by. Looking at the location of the study, he carefully approached.

  "Is everything arranged?" Sitting at the desk, Lou Yinglan tapped her fingers non-stop, and a black-clad man kneeling in front of her replied respectfully.

  "It's all arranged for Your Highness, guaranteed to be foolproof."

  "All right then, let them live for a few more days."

  "Yes."

  "Has the person you asked to investigate found any news about her whereabouts?" Thinking that their master had gone missing not long ago, with no news at all, the knocking on the table became even more frequent.

  "Your Highness, I'm looking for you."

  "Uh-huh, once found, reply to me immediately." The master is so young and still has a child with him, don't let anything unexpected happen!

  She pushed open the door and entered, looking at him with a faintly mocking smile, "Who are you looking for?"

  He isn't hallucinating, is he? The person in front of him is real? Lou Yinglan rubbed his eyes, it's real!

  "Master?"

  "Hmmph"

  "It's really you! Not long ago, you disappeared without a trace. I sent many people to find you, and now that I see you're safe and sound, I can finally put my mind at ease." He had dispatched his subordinates to search for her everywhere, but he never expected the master to suddenly appear before him. The black-clad man beside him was watching this woman who appeared out of nowhere with vigilance, always on guard, and couldn't help but wonder why the young master would address this woman as "master". What's going on?

  "What's going on?" Nunu muttered, looking at the extra black-clad person.

  "It was my former subordinate, master. This time the four countries gather together is a good opportunity. Even if some people have had some unexpected events, it's not surprising, right?" Suddenly, Lou Xuanlan's eyes turned cold, Lou Nan! He's back!

  Is this the meaning of revenge? Indeed, muddy waters can also be fished. This person has done so much for her, and she once promised to borrow the power of the Crazy Slashing Pavilion, so let's take advantage of this opportunity to stir up a storm! Let the mainland reshuffle again!

  "As long as you have a clear conscience, don't drag Crazy Devil Hall down with you, got it?"

  "Yes, Master. But Master, why haven't you gone to the Academy's grand gathering yet?" The master was missing earlier, so why isn't he in a hurry now?

  "No rush, I'm going to take a stroll first."

  "It's settled then. This is the closest border town to the south of the tower, I'll take you for a walk around! Although this is also his hometown, there's still some nostalgia, the land that raised him, yet also the land that hurt him the most."

  In the past few days, following Lou Xianglan to visit many ancient cities in Lounan, witnessing the local customs and conditions, Zhan Qingcang's mood gradually improved and decided to go find the main force to reunite.

  The imperial capital to the south is called Nandu, and the architecture here has a strong sense of Jiangnan water town. Although the national territory is smaller than that of the Ga Sheng Empire, it also has its own prosperity. Walking on the main street, looking at the crowds coming and going, people's clothes are all bright and beautiful, and it is clear that the common people live a very rich life.

  They already knew where Ximen Qingxue and the others were staying, so Qingxue wasn't in such a hurry anymore. Carrying her son, she strolled along the streets of Nandu, buying whatever new and strange things caught her eye. As they passed by a shop, she saw an exquisitely crafted hairpin, and Rong'er insisted on making a fuss until Qingxue reluctantly went inside.

  "Shopkeeper, let me take a look at that hairpin."

  "Alright! Miss, just wait a moment." After calling out to her, the shopkeeper cheerfully went to get it for her.

  Bring that box over and take a closer look, it's made of the finest rouge and white jade, the hairpin is only slightly longer than her hand, with a simple and elegant design, the end of the pin is carved with a snow lotus flower, as if there is still a faint fragrance coming from it.

  "Mom, you must look great with it on." Xuan Xi's bright and shiny big eyes smiled at her, his mom was the most beautiful mom in the world.

  It doesn't matter to me, but since my son thinks it's pretty, I'll just buy it then.

  "How much is this hairpin, shopkeeper?"

  "This pin, I'll take it!" With a swish, the pin in her hand was snatched away. The small shop suddenly had several more people in it.

  The one who snatched her hairpin was a man, also considered to be handsome and elegant, with a noble demeanor, but his eyes still had a hint of arrogance, showing off his superiority.

  "Yan'er, your taste is indeed good, this hairpin suits you the most." Without even asking Wang Qingcang, the man directly handed the hairpin to a white-clothed young girl.

  "This isn't good, is it?!" The woman in white looked a bit embarrassed, with bright eyes and teeth, her sleeves fluttering, her entire body clad in white making her seem like the Ninth Heaven's Mystical Maiden descending from the clouds. At this moment, her expression was faintly pale, very calm and collected.

  Dressed like a little dragon girl, saying it's not good with her mouth, but she didn't refuse either. And this man said, your taste is not bad, that is to say, she had already set her sights on him early on, waiting for someone to deliver!

  "The hairpin was what I saw first." Did she really think she could bully me?

  A few people seemed to have just noticed that there was still someone here, and they looked towards the source of the sound. All they saw was a frail young girl holding a child, looking at them with pitiful eyes.

  "But the hairpin is now in my hands, it's mine." Lou Ruo Ran looked at this girl and emphasized.

  Everyone saw a figure flash by, and the hairpin changed hands.

  "Now the hairpin is in my hand, who should it belong to?"

  In an instant, a fierce aura burst forth. Lou Ruo Yan glared at the girl, this hairpin was something his beloved Yan Er had set her eyes on, and he must take it back no matter what. "You'd better not try to find trouble!"

  "Oh? Is that so? You're even justifying stealing from me?"

  "Do you know who I am? I'm Lou Nanwu, the fifth prince of the Lou family. You dare to oppose me and look for death?" He thought that after saying his name, the girl would obediently hand it over, but instead she just sneered at him.

  "What's it to me if he is a prince?" Humph, still dare to shout at her!

  "Never mind, I don't want it anyway. It's not like it's something precious. Just give it to her." A woman named Yan'er intervened at the right moment, speaking words of tolerance and immediately winning over everyone's favor. But what about the resentment that flashed in her eyes?

  "Yan'er, no need to say more, that's what you finally set your eyes on, I'll help you get it back no matter what." Can't even give a hairpin to the woman he loves, what kind of prince is he?

  "Hey you! Don't pretend to toast and not drink, be sensible and hand over the hairpin quickly."

  "Shopkeeper, how many crystal coins? I'll take it."

  "Ah…… this, this……" That's the prince, how can this girl be so bold?! Offending the prince will bring trouble! An ordinary person only knows that the royal family is not to be trifled with, but he doesn't know that in this vast continent, it's the strong who truly have the final say. Even royalty must lower themselves and try to curry favor when faced with true strength.

  "Hum! I said bring me the hairpin, didn't you hear?"

  It seems that it had to be, she really didn't want to give it up. It wasn't anything expensive, but with a flick of her wrist, the white jade hairpin fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.

  "Oh dear, sorry about that, my hand slipped. Since Your Highness wants it so badly, I'll give it to you, pay up with crystal coins!" She wouldn't sell something she didn't want even if it was smashed to pieces!

  "Looking for death!" The killing intent all over his body was no longer hidden, directly shooting towards Zhan Qingkuang.

  Who can compare with whom in terms of murderous aura? The fierce and ruthless energy surged, how could this pampered prince be compared to her? Lou Ruo Ran took a few steps back, looking at the girl in front of him with an ugly expression, what a loss of face for the old man!

  "Shopkeeper, this hairpin is wanted by the young master, hurry up and wrap it for him. The young master is still waiting to give it to his beloved!"

  Sneering at these people, Zhang Yang laughed wildly and proudly.

  "Looking for death!" Seeing him still wanting to take action, a figure flashed quickly, and a shining dagger was directly placed on his neck.

  "Your Highness, I didn't quite catch that. Who was it that came looking for death?" The girl's icy words had barely left her lips when a streak of blood appeared on the neck of a certain someone.

  "You... you... you..." The store with a few more people in black clothes, very afraid that others do not know they are bodyguards.

  "Since this hairpin, Your Highness likes it so much, a gentleman doesn't take away what others love, I'll kindly give it to you." He turned his head with a smirk, looking at the "Little Dragon Girl", and snickered, "This young lady, surprisingly emerged from the mud without being stained, but I'm afraid I have to tell you, please try to act more like it next time, pay attention to your eyes, do you know what eye expression is? Don't look at good things with a greedy face, or you'll ruin the elegant demeanor you've managed to put on, got it?"

  The woman in white was furious at what she had said, while others were extremely embarrassed. She put away the dagger in her hand, hugged her son and prepared to leave.

  "Get him down for me!" It's really "don't see the coffin and don't shed tears", okay, scars are forgotten when they're no longer painful. No, wait, this scar hasn't healed yet but I've already forgotten the pain. The figure flashed among the crowd, and before anyone saw how she made her move, she had already kicked down several bodyguards.

  "Ah, Your Highness, who are you going to take down? I'm a good citizen, and you're arresting me in the southern capital - won't that hurt public sentiment? Oh~ And aren't you going to treat your wound? You're indeed a prince, how can you ignore such a small injury?" The girl scratched her head, seemingly puzzled by his words, then kindly reminded him about his "wound".

  "Wait for me!" Today's matter is not over, let him lose face in front of Yan'er, lose face in front of friends, and also lose face in front of the people of Lou Nan. If this account is not settled properly, he will write his name upside down!

  "Oh dear, I'm so sorry, but I don't have that much time to wait for you, I'll leave first. My son is hungry anyway. Oh, by the way, your esteemed prince caused a loss of one hairpin in our store, aren't you going to compensate us?" After saying this, she didn't care about the faces of the crowd and left them with only a "weak" back view.

  The anger in his heart made Lou Ruo Ran clench his fists, otherwise he would have caught her and not let her off easily! He threw down a handful of crystal coins and shouted loudly: "Let's go!"

  But a hairpin, she didn't even put it in her eyes, but she wouldn't allow any tomcat or stray dog to ride on her head and act wildly.

  "Mom... what a pity..."

  "There's nothing to be disappointed about, there will be better things in the future." Can't satisfy his son's wishes, slightly apologetic and softly comforting him.

  At this time, a shouting voice came from afar: "Qīng Kuáng ~ Qīng Kuáng ~ Zhàn ~ Qīng ~ Kuáng ~"

  Just turned around, saw a figure pounced over, agile flash, the comer stumbled, barely steadied his body.

  "Good grief, you scoundrel! Where have you been running off to these days? Do you know we were all worried sick about you? Your daughter's family is still searching for you with a child in tow, and you just disappeared without a word. We looked everywhere for you and even saw a corpse - I was so scared when I saw it, fearing something terrible had happened to you! Speak up, where did you go? Don't try to deceive me, or we're done being friends!"

  "Yes, lightly arrogant, you don't even know that when this guy saw the corpse, his whole face almost cried." Beitang Xiner's timely remark successfully shifted the attention to herself.

  "Bei Tang Xiner, shut up! Which eye of yours saw me cry?"

  "I saw it with both eyes, no need for you to quibble, and quibbling is useless!"

  "You're talking nonsense! I didn't cry! Didn't cry!" Ximen Linxue was so angry that she stomped her foot, and only restrained herself from taking action because of Beidong Qimeng.

  Helplessly watching the two people quarreling over there, Beidong Qimeng came to her side and said: "Qingkuang, you disappeared that day, it was indeed hard for us to find you. But you also know that Imperial College is not just us, so many people are waiting, can't stop because of one person. So we had to set off. That Ximen guy was worried about you, when we saw the corpses floating down, he almost went crazy, and recently he couldn't even eat."

  "Bei Tang Qi Mo, don't spout nonsense! Who can't eat their fill? This young master eats heartily and is in top physical condition!" Ximen Lin Xiang didn't bother to argue with Bei Tang Xin Er, seeing that the conversation had turned to her own embarrassing story again, she hastily interrupted.

  "Alright, stop making a fuss. This is a busy street and not a place for conversation. Let's find somewhere to talk slowly." Huangfu Mingbo stopped them from quarreling and asked Zhan Qingkuang for his opinion.

  Zhan light crazy some dazed, such a noisy day is real, that Nanke dream or forget it!

  Notice her expression is off, Ximen Qingchu looked at her worriedly: "Qingchu, Qingchu, what's wrong with you?" Why does she feel like there's something different about her now?!

  "Ah, never mind, let's go!"

  Following them back to the place specially prepared for the college party, as soon as they sat down, several people's eyes were fixed on her, obviously wanting to hear her explanation. Beitang Xiner held a plate of melon seeds and Ximen Linxiao held a plate of fruit, both looking at her expectantly.

  Seeing them like this, she found it somewhat amusing, but also knew they had been caring about her all along. However, there were some things she would never say.

  "That day I saw a corpse by the river..."

  "A corpse? We saw it too!"

  "Bei Tang Xiner, don't interrupt, listen to Qing Kuang. Qing Kuang, come on, you continue, Ben Shao Ye loves listening to adventure stories the most." While saying that, he picked up a piece of watermelon and took a bite.

  "I saw the corpse, and the emblem on it was that of the Wolf Smoke Mercenary Group."

  "Do you still know the Wolf Smoke Mercenary Group?" Having been glared at by Beidong Xiner, a certain person awkwardly raised his hand, indicating for her to continue.

  "I once had a two-sided relationship with the Wolf Smoke Mercenaries, so I went to take a look and saw them fighting against the Purple Wolf Spider, so I went up to help."

  "Zi Lang spider? How are you? Are you injured?" He couldn't even bother to eat the watermelon anymore, nervously looking her up and down.

  "Ximen Qingfeng! Are you going to let me finish or not?"

  "Uh..."

  "I helped them drive away the purple wolf spider, then I wanted to meet up with you guys, but when I came back, you had already left, so I could only come to Lou Nan by myself, and that's how I met up with you guys."

  "Is that it?"

  "What did you think?"

  "Didn't you have any amazing encounters? Didn't you meet anyone?" Ximen Qingxue looked at her in disbelief, the small spark of interest that had just been ignited was immediately doused by her with a bucket of cold water.

  Her eyes flashed, and Jian Qingyan kicked him with one foot: "What kind of adventure are you thinking of? Don't you want to see me return safely?"

  Hugging the fruit plate, Xi Men Ruo Xue was kicked into a big somersault. Bei Tang Xin Er on the side giggled and laughed even harder after being glared at by him.

  "Don't be silly, you know I didn't mean it that way! Of course, I hope you can return safely!" She explained with a pitiful expression, snuggling up to her side like a little daughter-in-law.

  "Go away, I'm sick of looking at you!"

  "Goodbye!"

  Ximen Qingxue didn't care about playing tricks on her and looked at the others beside her, "What about you guys? Didn't encounter anything on the road, did you?"

  Dongfang Qi said, "We're fine, just that we couldn't find you at first, so we had no choice but to follow the main troops to Lou Nan. Nothing much happened along the way."

  It's all good, she cherished the kindness of these people, whether it was Xi Men Ruo Xue with her playful smile, Bei Tang Qi Mo with his gentle and elegant demeanor, Dong Fang Ji with his serious and responsible attitude, Huang Fu Ming Bo with his sense of duty, or even Bei Tang Xin Er who always clashed with Xi Men Ruo Xue, and Huang Fu Ming Jia with her noble and elegant bearing as a princess. She would remember the kindness each one showed her in her heart.

  "Qing Kuang, what's wrong with you? Why are you acting strange this time?" Ximen Ruxue looked at her doubtfully.

  "What's wrong with me? Who saw you become normal?"

  "Huh? How can this be so off the mark? I'm strange, but that's not what I meant. You're strange, and you won't admit it. Just seeing me makes things abnormal... is the problem with me? Huh, how can this be so awkward... what's wrong..."

  Everyone was amused by his entangled appearance, and it wasn't until after a while that Ximen Qingyang reacted: "War—light—crazy! You dare to scold me?" This shout made the laughter even louder. Light Crazy's arms around Yu'er rolled her eyes, idiot!

  Digression

  This chapter is over, tomorrow will continue with 10,000 more, hahaha! The light and crazy one will show off his divine power again, Ximen Fan'er is on stage again.
