Looking at the man's face, Jiang Ran was completely stunned.
The shock was too great. His brain stopped working at this moment, and he just stared blankly at the top.
The most mysterious Shadow in the Hall of Justice was actually Fu Yunshen?!
"If I didn't hear wrongly, did you just call yourself Laozi?" Fu Yunshen turned his head, his tone casual. His peach blossom eyes curved. "Yaoyao, your son is going to rebel."
Before Jiang Ran could react, the girl came out from behind.
She was still holding a box in her hand. She raised her eyebrows. "I'm eating ice cream. Can you men solve your own problems?"
Jiang Ran was completely stunned.
He remembered what Ling Mianxi had said earlier —
What if Ah Ying knew someone in the Hall of Justice?
But who would have thought that the person Ying Zijin knew was Shadow?
No, wait. How did Fu Yunshen become an actor?!
"I, I …" Jiang Ran opened his mouth and lowered his head. "You are my Laozi."
Fu Yunshen didn't continue to tease him. "You don't think I called you here to punish you, do you?"
Jiang Ran's face heated up when he thought of his actions just now. He was extremely embarrassed. "Because outside just now, Qiao Ting said that they had already asked the Fan family to tell the Hall of Justice that they wanted to find someone to teach me a lesson."
"Hmm, who?" Fu Yunshen looked up. "Which elder?"
Jiang Ran said weakly, "Maybe it's the Left Guardian?"
Fu Yunshen nodded slightly and asked with interest, "Does he have more power than me?"
Jiang Ran: "… No."
To put it bluntly, the position of the Left Guardian was the head of the bodyguards in the family in the capital.
He couldn't participate in the important decisions of the Hall of Justice.
"Isn't that enough?" Fu Yunshen's voice was slow. "I called you here to tell you that if anyone provokes you in the Hall of Justice, you can fight back. If you can't beat them, you can complain to me. They have support, you have support too. Don't make yourself suffer, understand?"
He raised his eyebrows. "If you cripple the opponent in the arena today, I will take responsibility."
At the beginning of Qing Zhi High School, Jiang Ran had indeed taken care of Ying Zijin.
He had helped her fend off a lot of school violence.
Hearing this, Jiang Ran was stunned again.
His head drooped, and the rims of his eyes gradually turned red.
From the moment he entered the Hall of Justice, he knew he had to fight alone.
Jiang Ran had never thought that he would hear such words.
Ying Zijin asked thoughtfully, "Are you crying?"
"Nonsense, I didn't!" Jiang Ran held it in for a long time before saying, "Father Fu, does anyone else know about your identity?"
"Just a few." Fu Yunshen said calmly, "Don't worry, no one will believe them."
Jiang Ran: "…"
Father Fu was even better at pretending to be a rich man than a real rich man.
"Let's go." Fu Yunshen patted his lapel and put one hand in his pocket. He smiled. "I promise you. I'll watch you fight in the Challenge Tournament."
**
Outside the house.
Ling Mianxi was still waiting.
After waiting for a long time, Jiang Ran did not call out, but he did not come out either.
She frowned.
At this moment, someone called out to her.
"Mian."
Ling Mianxi turned around and saw Nie Yi.
He was still wearing a neatly ironed uniform.
"Why are you here?" Ling Mianxi was a little surprised. "Yizi isn't busy?"
"Nothing big has happened in the capital recently." Nie Yi nodded. "I can take a few days off."
Most importantly, those families that used to be restless had become much more obedient.
They were afraid that they would meet someone like Ying Zijin, who looked ordinary but had a powerful background. If they were not careful, they would accidentally hit an iron plate.
"Okay, come, come." Ling Mianxi's eyes lit up. "Let's fight. My cultivation has really improved. I'm not lying to you."
Nie Yi: "…"
He thought about it seriously and sent Fu Yunshen a WeChat message.
[Do you fight with Miss Ying the moment you see her?]
There was no reply from WeChat, but a voice sounded directly in his ear.
He let out a lazy laugh.
"My girl loves me and can't bear to hit me. Even if she does, she won't hit my face."
Hearing this, Jiang Ran scratched his head. "Papa YIng, are you obsessed with looks?"
Ying Zijin glanced at him and didn't say anything.
But her eyes said everything.
Was there a need to ask?
Jiang Ran shut up.
"Yes." Ling Mianxi said confidently, "I don't feel sorry for you."
Nie Yi: "…"
"You don't?" Fu Yunshen replied, "When he was injured, who was the one who bandaged him and walked out to cry by herself?"
Ling Mianxi: "…"
Jiang Ran looked to the left and then to the right.
He deeply felt that he was a dog surviving in the cracks.
Coincidentally, the arena competition was about to begin, so Jiang Ran slipped away.
There were quite a number of people who came to watch today's single-elimination tournament.
Xie Nian was there.
However, she was not interested in the arena competition, but Nie Yi.
She had received the news when Nie Yi entered the ancient martial arts world from the entrance.
Xie Nian narrowed her eyes and raised her chin. "Look, what do you think of that man?"
Beside her was the eldest daughter of the Fan family, Fan Zhixi.
Fan Zhixi looked over and her eyes lit up. "Sister Nian, he's strong. I can't see through his ancient martial arts cultivation, but it's definitely higher than mine."
"Of course." Xie Nian's red lips curled into a smile. "Which man that I, Xie Nian, have taken a fancy to is bad?"
She was a half-step ancient martial arts master, so she could naturally see Nie Yi's cultivation.
More than 60 years of standard.
In the Xie family, he was a genius among geniuses.
Xie Nian had never seen someone like Nie Yi.
Perhaps after having Nie Yi, she would stop fooling around.
Fan Zhixi began to flatter her. "Sister Nian, aren't you going up?"
"Don't you see Ling Mianxi beside him?" Xie Nian's expression was cold. "Wait until I find a chance to deal with her. I'm not in the mood to share a man with others."
Fan Zhixi nodded and didn't judge.
This was a very obvious moral failing.
But there was no other way. In the ancient martial arts world, one's fist spoke.
On the stage, the steward called out the name list for the next round.
"The third round, Ling family's Jiang Ran versus Qiao family's Qiao Ting."
Qiao Ting straightened his chest and walked up the stage with his head held high.
Jiang Ran came from the other side.
Seeing that Jiang Ran was safe and sound, Qiao Ting was stunned for a moment, then he sneered. "Brat, consider yourself lucky. I think the Shadow Judge saw that you were young and thought that your future was limitless, so he let you go this time."
"Since you've accepted the warning, you'd better behave yourself later and get off the stage yourself, understand?"
Jiang Ran put his hands behind his back and said carelessly, "This person, he's already dreaming in broad daylight."
Qiao Ting was furious. "Brat, you're courting death!"
He gathered his inner strength and attacked Jiang Ran directly.
Their cultivation levels were about the same, and it was difficult to determine the winner.
But Jiang Ran's movements were agile.
Qiao Ting's attacks all missed, and he suffered quite a few hits.
Qiao Ting's eyes were bloodshot. "Jiang Ran, you forced me!"
Suddenly, his aura surged.
He threw a punch at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran's expression changed, and he dodged in time.
In the next second, a shallow pit appeared where he was originally standing.
The spectators were all excited and started to clap.
Only Ying Zijin saw the problem. She turned her head. "Can the guards of the Hall of Justice take drugs in the competition?"
Yes, there were drugs that could help people improve their ancient martial arts cultivation in a short period of time, but it was very harmful to the body.
"In theory, it's forbidden." Fu Yunshen narrowed his eyes. "But as long as we can't find out, it won't have any effect."
The guards were indeed not under his control, but of course, he could control them.
Ying Zijin nodded, then raised her eyebrows. "Sir, I cheated too. You don't mind, right?"
"Hmm?" Fu Yunshen tilted his head. "Change the way you address me?"
"Boyfriend?"
"Then I don't mind, girlfriend."
Ying Zijin glanced at him and took out a golden needle.
Jiang Ran was completely suppressed by Qiao Ting, and there was no way for him to retaliate.
Xie Nian had investigated Ling Mianxi thoroughly, so she naturally knew that Jiang Ran was Ling Mianxi's younger brother.
She sneered. "You only know how to dodge. What a piece of trash."
But at this moment, Jiang Ran suddenly gained strength.
He didn't dodge anymore, but directly faced Qiao Ting's attack.
"Crack!"
His bones cracked.
Qiao Ting screamed and didn't even manage to restrain his strength. He flew straight out.
It happened to be in Xie Nian's direction.
Xie Nian's attention had been on Nie Yi, thinking about how to have fun.
She couldn't dodge in time and was pounced on by Qiao Ting.
Not only that, her face was also sprayed with blood.
"Rip —"
It was the sound of clothes tearing.
Xie Nian was wearing a red dress with a slit. This time, she was directly exposed.
Ancient martial artists were naturally more male, and the people around were a little stunned.
If they had phones, they would have taken photos.
Whispers could be heard from all around.
"This young lady of the Xie family, tsk, she's quite something."
"Of course, I heard that she's very good at snatching men."
Fan Zhixi was stunned and quickly picked up her clothes. "Nian, Sister Nian, hurry up."
Xie Nian kicked Qiao Ting away and quickly took Fan Zhixi's coat and put it on.
Her face was gloomy. "You're courting death!"
How dare he humiliate her like this.
Xie Nian raised her hand and went on stage, about to pinch Jiang Ran's throat.
A voice sounded anxiously. "Miss Xie!"
A middle-aged man stood in front of her. It was the Right Guardian.
"Miss Xie, this has nothing to do with him. He didn't do it on purpose. You're too close to the competition stage."
The Left Protector had also arrived. He kept winking at Xie Nian. "Nian Nian."
Xie Nian had never been so angry before.
The point was that she didn't think Jiang Ran did it on purpose.
Jiang Ran must have deliberately hit Qiao Ting in her direction.
But she couldn't find a reason to kill Jiang Ran.
Xie Nian snorted coldly and turned to leave without looking at the Left Guardian.
The Left Guardian had a headache.
Xie Nian had the protection of the Xie family's ancestor. Even the elders had to respect her.
What could he say?
Qiao Ting was punched by Jiang Ran and kicked by Xie Nian. He fainted immediately.
The arena competition had always stopped at a certain point.
If there was a serious injury or death, the other side would be punished.
But since Xie Nian had interfered, it was hard for the Protector to judge who was to blame.
The Left Guardian waved his hand and said coldly, "Carry him away."
If he insulted Xie Nian, he would lose his life.
**
Jiang Ran successfully advanced to a fourth level guard.
Fu Yunshen also fulfilled his promise and gave him a reward.
The group returned to the Ling family.
Jiang Huapin knew that Nie Yi had also come, so he specially cooked a few more dishes.
"Sit, sit." Jiang Huapin greeted with a smile, "Xiao Yi hasn't been here for a long time. Your Aunt Ling is still talking about you."
Nie Yi was very gentlemanly. "Aunt Jiang, Aunt Ling."
Mother Ling was happy. "What are you being so polite for? Let's eat together."
After eating, Ying Zijin returned to her room.
She didn't know if Jiang Huapin had done it on purpose or not, but he had only given them one room.
But it didn't matter. It wasn't like they hadn't slept on the same bed before.
Of course, it was only limited to sleeping.
Fu Yunshen walked to the window and answered a call, "Hello?"
After he finished listening, his eyes gradually deepened. "Alright, I understand."
Ying Zijin raised her head from the computer screen. "What's wrong?"
"There's an anonymous letter reporting that Uncle Ling transported large scale firearms from the secular world into the ancient martial arts world." Fu Yunshen said, "There's also evidence. The anonymous letter was directly submitted to the Ministry of Supervision. Someone from the Hall of Justice has come."
Just as he finished speaking, there was a commotion outside.
Ying Zijin closed her computer. "I'll go out and take a look."
This was the first time the Hall of Justice had entered the Ling family.
But it wasn't a good thing.
"Ling Zhonglou, right?" The middle-aged man looked at Ling Zhonglou, "I am from the Hall of Justice's supervision department. I am here on orders from the Consecrator. Someone has accused you of bringing large scale high-tech weapons into the ancient martial arts world to attack the Qiao family and destroy the Qiao family."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the surrounding people changed.
Jiang Ran became nervous. "Dad …"
Although the ancient martial arts world was xenophobic, it did not prohibit the existence of high technology.
Because with the integration of the world, the ancient martial arts world would not be able to be sealed for long.
Only firearms were prohibited, unless one could obtain a gun license from the Hall of Justice.
After all, guns were very convenient. When executing criminals, they could just hit them once.
However, guns could be used, but other large weapons were definitely not.
A single incendiary air bomb was definitely enough to kill an ancient martial arts master.
Not to mention even more advanced firearms.
This was a considerable threat to the ancient martial arts world.
The middle-aged man turned his head and ordered the guards beside him, "Capture him."
