Netizens naturally have their ways, and Qiao Yuansi's information was not hard to find.

Even Little Yuanxi was once reported on under the title of "Genius Girl."

At 16, she successfully Worship God!

Third-class God·Lantern Believer.

Later, she was admitted to the top academic institution in Da Xia—Beijing University.

Lu Ran's... biological sister!

Sister?

And a biological one at that?

This is big news!

Lu Ran's information had already been thoroughly dug up, and now, family members were matching up.

From this moment on, the live-streaming room that wailed to the skies abruptly changed its tone!

Just a second ago, people were still calling Lu Ran a "scumbag" and "Ran dog".

The next second, the barrage in the live-streaming room was all "Great Uncle," "Sorry Brother-in-law," "Big Brother Ran"...

Cheering enthusiastically.

Of course, there were still people holding grudges against Guan Yiren's appearance, eager to try.

Cursing Lu Ran for delaying a beautiful woman.

Disciples of Sword One should be aloof, like an iceberg, like a goddess, devoid of emotions.

And you made her laugh?

Ran dog, you really deserve to die!

Having Jiang Ruyi, you still went on to set fire to another's heart...

Lu Ran was unaware of these, only feeling a buzzing in his pocket.

"Wait a moment." Lu Ran nodded to the others and walked to the side to answer the phone, "Sister Xian'er?"

"Lu! Ran!!"

Lu Ran suddenly tilted his head, the girl's irate voice causing his head to ache.

He frowned, "What are you yelling for?"

At these words, Si Xianxian became even more irate: "I thought the teammates in 'Heavenly Pride' were fixed!

They can carry out missions with you! Why can't I?"

Lu Ran: ???

You didn't say you wanted to join 'Heavenly Pride'!

Lu Ran firmly rebutted, which set Si Xianxian off even more!

She yelled furiously, "You do the math, you do the calculation! How long has it been since you last looked for me?"

Si Xianxian exploded, and so did the live-streaming room.

No matter how angry the female voice was, people could still tell it sounded pleasant.

Added to these resentful yet aggrieved words, it was very evocative.

Was Lu Ran merely a scumbag?

He was outright heartless!

"Ran dog, can you even be considered human?"

"Sister Xian'er? Tsk tsk, just by the name, I bet she's prettier than Jiang Ruyi!"

@LoveWritingCultivation: "Some break up 8 times, some have been in love 5 times, some have been single all their lives [smile.jpg]"

"Damn, did we get an unexpected bonus?"

"How many 'good little sisters' do you have..."

Fortunately, Si Xianxian shot back:

"You don't look for me, and Ruyi tells me to stay put every day, neither of you takes me out!

Nobody wants me! I freaking... might as well die!"

"Alright, alright." Lu Ran felt a headache coming on, "I'll call you tomorrow."

"Really?" Si Xianxian's voice softened considerably, sounding quite pitiful.

If it had been an ordinary girl capitulating like this, maybe it wouldn't have meant much.

But who was Si Xianxian?

A follower of the Fierce Heavenly believers!

For her to go from extremely irate to this soft...

It was nothing short of a miracle!

Lu Ran was indeed very busy, even with his biological sister Qiao Yuansi, only managing to chat once or twice a month.

However, Jiang Ruyi and the others maintained constant contact.

It seems Goddess Jiang hasn't neglected to "train" Sister Xian'er...

Lu Ran confirmed, "Yeah, if all goes well, I'll call you tomorrow."

Si Xianxian complained, "Don't jinx it; of course, everything will go smoothly for young master!"

"Borrowing your good luck then." Lu Ran chuckled, shaking his head and hanging up.

Thinking about it, since worshiping God in the lunar month of June until now, he hadn't looked for Si Xianxian.

Poor Lie Tian Girl,

She must have been really bottled up, huh?

This was a future believer of the Ran Sect, known through and through, and so obedient to both him and Jiang Ruyi.

He really should pay her some attention when he has the time.

Lu Ran approached his teammates, "Let's guard the square and take another stroll around the nearby streets while it's still daylight."

Naturally, no one objected, and Niu Zhengzheng, carrying a big axe, led the way.

For a brief moment, Lu Ran thought he saw Chang Ying~

Hold on!

Doesn't Chang Ying like brawny, beefy men?

Back in the day, Chang Ying made it clear to Lu Ran that she wasn't into his type.

Almost made Lu Ran die laughing!

Like I'm blind, like I'd be into you!

If I really liked that type, I'd summon a Barbaric Woman myself, wouldn't I?

Isn't she darker and bigger... uh, wilder and has longer legs than you?

Chang Ying also said something about living life once, and who knows when it might end, so she must find someone she truly likes.

So, should he pass on Niu Zhengzheng's contact information to Chang Ying?

Hmm... If these two behemoths combined, wouldn't they produce some talent-exploding monster?

As soon as the child is born,

it's likely to be reserved by a First-class God·Monk, right?

At the very least, they'd slip down to Second-class God·West Desolation Sect, wouldn't they?

Of course, they might just join the Ran Sect~

Caught up in his thoughts, Lu Ran felt his pocket vibrate again.

It wasn't a call, but a message.

Opening his phone, he saw that Jiang Ruyi had sent a message.

Jiang: "I've already scolded her, you focus on preparing for battle, protect your little sister. Turn off your phone, report back tomorrow safely."

Ran: "(˘³˘)♡"

The live-streaming room exploded again!

Lu Ran looked at his phone, and the camera mounted beside his head naturally captured the phone's screen.

"Scoundrel! You sure know how to create show effects, I'm freaking out!"

"I knew it, don't guess blindly, they are fine."

"Who? Who dares to insult my great uncle? Are you rebelling?"

"Just joking around, teasing Ran dog is enough, after all, this is Da Xia's number one pride! Rumor-mongering and slandering will really get you jail time~"

"Why does Ran Shen always wear a hat and mask?"

"What are these people even doing? Wearing cameras, why does no one dare look at Ran Shen? Don't they know who the main character is?"

Lu Ran was unaware of the stir in the channel.

He also didn't know that just by donning his equipment, he had taken countless viewers on an emotional roller coaster.

It's just lucky, the Heavenly Pride rankings don't involve internet scoring...

From dawn to nightfall.

Lu Ran followed the team from behind, walking the area around the square over and over again.

Central Square, easily accessible from all directions, is hard to defend.

But it lived up to the setup of this elite team.

Aside from Little Yuanxi being at River Realm·Fourth Rank, the other three were all at River Realm·Fifth Rank!

To be frank, Guan Yiren, Wang Ling, and others were also qualified for the Heavenly Pride.

It was only natural that Yuansi's mother selected top-notch teammates for her.

"It's almost time." Wang Ling checked his watch and looked up at the sky.

Guan Yiren softly said, "Yuanxi."

"Yes!" Qiao Yuansi understood and grabbed with a small hand.

An exquisite eight-faced lantern quietly came together.

Divine Technique·Miao Fire Cage!

Qiao Yuansi held the handle and gently pushed it upwards.

The Miao Fire Cage floated into the night sky and swiftly transformed in nature, becoming a Divine Technique·Bright Fire Cage.

Suddenly, a golden-red protective barrier cloaked everyone.

Lu Ran suddenly looked up and saw a gaunt figure appearing not far away in the air.

Evil Demon·Ghostly Eyes!

Lu Ran used Sound Positioning, guided by the hoarse roar of Ghostly Eyes, to lock onto the enemy.

The young masters and young ladies of Beijing also locked onto the enemy at the first instant.

Because the Ghostly Eyes was also clad in a golden-red protective barrier as it appeared.

Even amidst the neon lights of the square,

that golden-red barrier was too bright!

Qiao Yuansi's defensive technique turned into a "marking" skill, with an extraordinary effect!

"Whiz~ whiz~"

Guan Yiren raised her hand slightly, slender fingers pointing toward the Evil Demon, sending out a rapid stream of flying swords.

Instantly, the protective barrier was shattered.

Blood holes were punctured in the head, torso, and other vital parts of the Ghostly Eyes.

Whether it was a Ghostly Eyes, Red Eyes, or Purple Eyes didn't matter.

It didn't even have the chance to land before it was destroyed.

The follower of Sword One, coming to a small place like Rain Lane, was naturally a sign of condensation and talent.

Probably only special events could prevent this Beijing young lady from randomly slaying.

A few minutes went by, swords flew across the square.

Guan Yiren gently waved her fingers, one after another, the Evil Demons died under her sword.

Lu Ran could sense that this team was quite uncomfortable!

Both the level of the Evil Demons and the frequency of their appearance were frustratingly low compared to Beijing...

In the middle of the square,

Niu Zhengzheng, Wang Ling, and Qiao Yuansi were all standing there like fools.

Including Lu Ran, who became a mere decoration.

Guan Yiren seemed to have the vibe of a "high-level boss slaughtering in the newbie village."

Because she was standing too, and eventually stopped even moving her fingers.

Guan Yiren just occasionally turned, her gaze directing the flying swords to slaughter the Evil Demons.

Lu Ran was happy to take advantage, standing still, absorbing the souls of various Evil Demons.

Suddenly, Guan Yiren turned to Lu Ran, hesitant to speak.

In the frame, Qiao Yuansi clung cutely to Lu Ran's arm, seemingly very secure.

Lu Ran was still wearing a mask, with the brim of his hat pressed down low, so not even his eyes could be seen.

Guan Yiren wasn't sure if she should continue clearing the minions.

After all, Lu Ran was still participating in "Heavenly Pride"!

Could he afford to keep just standing there, risking falling out of the rankings?

If so, her sin would be huge!

Whether netizens would forgive her was not Guan Yiren's concern.

The key was, how would she face the pride of Da Xia in the future?

Lu Ran noticed the girl's gaze and whispered, "Fight normally, in line with your squad's usual style.

The night has only just begun.

Don't forget, this is Rain Lane, the so-called cursed land.

It will equally educate every proud person."

Guan Yiren slightly arched an eyebrow, a faint smile appearing on her face.

You're... not angry, that's good.

Guan Yiren lifted her eyelids, seeking out the enemies marked by the golden-red light, continuing to slaughter.

"Ding~ Ding~ Ding!"

Finally, there was an Evil Demon that wasn't instantly killed—a Grinning Demon!

It wore a bamboo hat and was draped in straw, its body suddenly petrified, successfully deflecting a barrage of flying swords.

At last, a River Realm Evil Demon had arrived!

Although it was not a top contender, it finally gave the teammates a chance to move.

Guan Yiren sighed in relief, commanding her flying swords elsewhere, and called out a name, "Wang Ling."

"Present!" Wang Ling responded instantly, grabbing his spear and charging forward.

The stone aspect of the Grinning Demon didn't last long.

Lu Ran pinched the brim of his hat, lifting it slightly, just in time to see Wang Ling shrouded in mist.

"Whoo!"

Wang Ling was twenty to thirty meters away from the Grinning Demon.

But his figure disappeared suddenly, leaving only the mist behind.

When he reappeared, he was already behind the Grinning Demon, and his spear pierced through the enemy's head.

His timing was so precise, and his attack so swift that it impressed Lu Ran.

Spear Withering Divine Skill·Cloud Piercing Shadow!

A First-class God follower, not one for jokes.

The Spear Withering school was also a rare school in Da Xia's divine sects, possessing the Instant Teleportation Technique!

Lu Ran softly said, "Your new teammate isn't bad, very precise in timing control."

"Hmm." Qiao Yuansi hugged Lu Ran's arm tightly.

She had imagined countless times defending the city at fifteen alongside her brother.

Everything was as she expected.

Just like on every Lunar New Year's fifteenth day, on her birthday:

The security her mother could provide, her brother could also provide!

As for the sword cultivator clearing minions, the spear cultivator darting around, and the silly old bull still standing...

They're just so-so.

Brother is the most powerful!

My foolish and cold-hearted brother~

Even though you didn't do anything, how can you make me feel so safe?

Qiao Yuansi tilted her head lightly, leaning on Lu Ran's arm.

Warm at her side, and the rosy clouds at her back warmed her too.

Ah, so happy~
