"Zi!"
Several minutes later, the car door burst open.
Deng Yutang led the way, stepping onto the bus, and was hit with a strong sll of blood.
The students on the bus were mostly tough ones.
Because only if you walked far enough in the Demon Cave and returned later, would you end up on this last bus.
"Congratulations!"
"Jiang is mighty!"
"Wu, you’ve finally beco number one, haha!"
Listening to the congratulatory voices, Wu Shanshan, though exhausted, had a very sweet smile.
She responded while walking back and found an acquaintance in the second to last row.
"Congratulations." Ma Tianchuan smiled and nodded, seemingly magnanimous.
"Stop kidding , okay!" Wu Shanshan tried hard to suppress her smile, but couldn’t hide it, "I can’t stand goody-two-shoes like you!
Every ti after an exam, you say you ssed it up.
But when the results co out, when have you not been first?"
Ma Tianchuan shook his head and looked back at Jiang Ruyi, "This ti, really, I’m not."
Jiang Ruyi nodded slightly, greeting him.
The two knew each other but weren’t close.
Ma Tianchuan turned to the side and looked at the group of four sitting in the back row, testing, "It seems, Jiang’s strong control and Wu’s output make an amazing dog-slaying team, huh?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruyi instinctively looked toward Lu Ran, who was sitting by the window.
Ma Tianchuan pushed his rimless glasses and read the girl’s body language.
"Hehe, not bad, not bad~" Wu Shanshan, unable to contain her joy, burst out laughing.
As the perennial second or third placer, she could finally top the list, and the young girl could hardly hold back her joy.
Ma Tianchuan looked at Lu Ran, "The blood on Lu Ran is thick enough; did you go on a rampage in the dog village?"
Lu Ran didn’t even want to speak, just nodded slightly.
He wasn’t being pretentious, he was really spent!
At that mont, Lu Ran deeply realized the cost of over-using magic and over-straining his body.
He couldn’t be so reckless in the future.
He was just 17, his happy life hadn’t even started yet. How could he allow himself to end up like this...
"He’s exhausted, don’t mind him," Jiang Ruyi said softly, explaining for Lu Ran.
The last group to board the bus naturally beca the center of attention.
Many students saw Jiang Ruyi and Lu Ran sitting together, with her speaking up for and supporting him.
Suddenly, a chorus of teasing erupted in the bus:
"Ooh~~~"
"So Lu Ran is tired~"
"Jiang’s voice is so gentle, so pleasant. I want to keep listening..."
"Start the bus! Start the bus now!" A particularly loud shout silenced all the tough ones in the bus.
Lu Ran also jumped, not knowing why the chubby guy in the front seat was freaking out.
Deng Yutang looked at his classmates and asked, "Qian Hao, what’s wrong with you?"
"Start the... bus!" Qian Hao’s shoulders shook, his head lowered, his voice full of despair, "Start the bus, start the bus..."
Master Qian, stop it!
Lu Ran’s head buzzed.
Lu Ran leaned forward, his forehead against the back of Qian Hao’s seat, weakly muttered, "Da~"
Jiang Ruyi: ???
Qian Hao: "..."
I ant for the driver to start the bus, not you!
You’re actually quite willing to help out, huh?
Ma Tianchuan, watching Lu Ran’s listless state, suggested, "Once Lu Ran has recovered, how about we spar?"
"You might not necessarily be able to beat my Brother Lu," Deng Yutang quickly replied, looking quite proud.
Ma Tianchuan just smiled and did not commit.
"Really, Mr. Top Student." Wu Shanshan loved the idea of pulling the top-ranked down.
She cheerfully continued, "Lu Ran is already at Mist Realm·Second Rank."
"Oh?" Not only was Ma Tianchuan surprised, but so were the surrounding classmates.
Have we only been believers for a few days, and he’s already at Mist Realm·Second Rank?
Is this what lures the Evil Demon Clan·Yan Paperman here?
No wonder this team could slaughter so many Evil Dogs!
We thought it was Jiang and Wu, the two leaders, wielding great power, but there was such a Buddha hidden in the team?!
"Vroom~"
The vehicle finally started, slowly moving out of the military camp in a light drizzle.
These people, coming from school, were naturally going to be taken back by the bus.
And at the school gate, many parents waited and prayed for their children to return ho safely.
Their children becoming believers and entering the Demon Cave for battle were big events for any family.
Unexpectedly, all three of Lu Ran’s teammates were picked up by their families.
Only he walked ho alone, dragging his weary body, with a knife in hand.
He had the money to take a taxi, he just didn’t know if the driver would dare to take him with all the blood on him.
"Brother Lu?" Suddenly, a voice called out.
"Hmm?" Lu Ran turned and saw Deng Yutang squeezing through the crowd.
The team mbers had dispersed while looking for their parents.
Lu Ran thought this was for the best, saving them the farewell and sparing any awkwardness, yet here this guy was coming up again.
"Where do you live, I’ll take you ho?" Deng Yutang beckoned.
Lu Ran didn’t hesitate and imdiately walked towards Deng Yutang, muttering sothing like "Isn’t that too much trouble?"
Deng Yutang was stunned!
Soon, they reached a black sports car.
Black, very low-key, but the brand of the car was anything but.
"Goodness~"
Lu Ran cracked a smile, it turned out Wu Shanshan guessed right!
Not only did this guy have a Palara in hand, but his ride was the sa?
"Click."
The driver’s door suddenly opened, and a long-legged lady stepped out.
Lu Ran was a bit surprised; he thought a driver had co to pick up Master Deng, but this lady’s aura...
She was tall and strikingly beautiful.
Her lips bore transparent lipstick and her earlobes sparkled with ruby earrings, making her appear even more sexy and glamorous.
"Are you Lu Ran?"
"Hello, miss," Lu Ran greeted politely.
His face, however, was sared with bloodstains and looked filthy under the rain.
The young woman didn’t mind at all, smiling at Lu Ran’s bloodied school uniform, "Hop in."
She said casually, then climbed back into the driver’s seat.
"Your knife, I’ll put it in the trunk," said Deng Yutang as he took Lu Ran’s Dawn Blade and went around the car.
Lu Ran stood still, mumbling sothing like "That’s okay," "No need."
"Let do it myself... uh." Lu Ran paused mid-sentence.
Because Deng Yutang had already stored the knife and walked back to the side of the car, looking speechlessly at Lu Ran.
Then move already!!
"Click."
The passenger door opened from the inside, the lady’s voice carrying through, "Get in."
"Oh." Lu Ran ducked his head and climbed into the coupe.
In the distance, Jiang Ruyi stood in front of a car, watching Lu Ran get into the woman’s luxury car, then finally closed her umbrella and got into the passenger seat.
"What are you looking at?" asked the middle-aged woman curiously.
"My teammate. Been looking for him for half the day, was thinking of driving him ho," Jiang Ruyi shook her umbrella, then shut the car door.
"Where?"
"Never mind, soone else is taking him." Jiang Ruyi whispered, "Let’s go."
The middle-aged woman looked at her bowed head daughter and laughed, "Is this teammate a boy or a girl?"
"Ah, Mom, it’s not what you think!" Jiang Ruyi blushed slightly, unyieldingly saying, "I was worried he’d be left alone."
"Ha ha."
anwhile, inside the black sports car.
"Miss, you must be a Believer too, looking so dashing!"
"Miss, you look so young. Are you still in college? Is it sumr vacation?"
"Miss, your eyebrows look a lot like Deng Yutang." Lu Ran examined the young woman’s profile, gauging.
"I’m his actual sister, Deng Yuxiang." The woman smiled, finally speaking, "And no, I’m already working."
This kid’s really sweet-talked.
"Rain Alley?" wondered Lu Ran.
Just how much do Mr. and Mrs. Deng love their hotown to na their daughter after the city?
He turned his head, looking out at Rain Alley City through the car window, softly murmured, "Sounds nice."
Lu Ran also liked Rain Alley.
He liked the flowing waters of Wu Lie River that snaked through the city.
Whenever Lu Ran practiced his blade on the abandoned building where his father died, he could always see the powerful flow of the Wu Lie River.
In the back seat, Deng Yutang was stunned.
Aren’t you too tired to even talk?
How co you’ve started chatting now?
If they ever told Ma Tianchuan, how upset he’d be!
"Hehe." Deng Yuxiang glanced at Lu Ran, "Your na is well known to ."
Lu Ran: "Ah?"
Deng Yuxiang driving with one hand: "Rain Alley City is so small, and you’ve caused quite a stir."
"Oh." Lu Ran understood, knowing she was referring to the day of Worship God.
In the past few days, many departnts had visited Rain Alley City to bring warmth to Lu Ran.
So leaders even had to see the Divine Sculpture·Immortal Sheep at Lu Ran’s ho before they could leave in peace, which really annoyed Lu Ran.
"Your talent is rare in this world, don’t squander the divine favor you’ve received," Deng Yuxiang spoke softly.
"Brother Lu hasn’t wasted it," Deng Yutang suddenly spoke up, "In this assessnt, he completely went mad with killing, our team must be first in the whole school."
Deng Yuxiang slightly raised an eyebrow, knowing her brother wouldn’t lie to her.
She glanced again at the blood-soaked Lu Ran and nodded lightly, "It does seem that way."
Lu Ran sheepishly added, "Miss, you’ll need to wash your car."
"It’s okay," Deng Yuxiang didn’t mind, but she wrinkled her nose in puzzlent, "It’s normal for you two to sll like blood.
But why is there also a sll of urine?"
Lu Ran: "..."
Deng Yutang: "..."
