"Master, someone is chasing us." Xiaobai grabbed the extremely hard feathers on the back of the sparrowhawk and said while trying not to fall.
Chu Ran hummed and patted the monster on the head.
"Faster."
Her movements were very gentle, but the birdhawk beast seemed to be facing an extremely terrifying existence, and its huge body shook violently.
The wings flap wildly, using all the spiritual power to increase the speed to the extreme.
After a while, he got rid of the group of tails behind him.
"It's awesome." Chu Ran praised it with a smile and rubbed its head as a reward.
Sparrowhawk: "..."
It wants to go home! It doesn't want to stay with this devil!
Recalling the brutal process of being tamed, it couldn't help but shed tears of sadness.
The sparrowhawk was extremely fast, and it arrived at the official road outside the imperial city when it was dark.
Chu Ran landed on the official road and handed them two low-grade Peiyuan Pills, "Thank you for your hard work along the way."
The two monsters looked at each other. Is this for them?
"What, you don't want it?" She tried to take it back, but her hand suddenly became empty.
I saw them snatching the elixir away with lightning speed, and then flew away as if they were running for their lives.
Is she so scary?
Chu Ran stopped laughing, turned to Cang Wanyan and said, "Let's go, let's go into the city."
The two of them walked into the city under the moonlight.
It was past midnight, but candlelight was burning everywhere in the city.
Tomorrow is the annual selection competition. Both the contestants and the people who come to watch the excitement will have trouble sleeping tonight.
"I won't bother you at the girl's house. I'll just find an inn in the city to stay for one night." For her, tomorrow is a tough battle.
She didn't want Chu Ran to get involved in her grudge with the Cang family, as that would cause trouble for her.
Chu Ran guessed what she was thinking and said, "It costs money to stay in an inn. Do you have money?"
Cang Wanyan's expression froze.
Not only does she have no money, but the clothes she wears are men's clothes that Miss Chu finally found from the storage space.
"Give."
Something was thrown into her arms.
She looked down and saw that it was a money bag!
"Miss Chu..." Cang Wanyan called out.
"Save people to the end. Take this little money and give it back to me when you have money someday." Chu Ran said with a smile.
She clutched the money bag tightly, the tip of her nose was sore, "Thank you...I really thank you..."
"Okay, let's find a place to stay quickly." Chu Ran gave up and turned around to leave.
Cang Wanyan watched her go away before heading to the inn with the heavy amount of money.
When paying, she was surprised to find that in addition to the silver, there were also several pills and an intermediate defensive magic circle spirit stone.
This is the self-defense thing Miss Chu left for her...
His eyes instantly turned red.
How can she be so good...
Indescribable feelings surged in her chest, and tears fell down, soaking her clothes.
Chu Ran returned to Zhaiyue Pavilion and quietly removed the magic circle. Without disturbing Shuiyin and others who were sleeping, he first went to the main house to visit Li Xiuniang.
Her condition is much better than when she left, and she should be able to wake up after taking the medicine for a few more days.
After tucking Li Xiuniang into bed, Chu Ran returned to the side room to rest.
It was dawn, and the entire General's Mansion was completely lively.
"Master Cang and the others have already arrived at the house. Where is the second lady's chariot? Is it ready? The second lady will set off with them soon!"
The butler was busy directing his servants in the front yard.
Today is an important day for the second young lady to compete, so there must be no mistakes.
In the hall, five people, led by Cang Jinglan, sat under the main seat in turn.
Everyone was served their favorite refreshments.
"I heard that Chu Ran, that loser, also signed up this time." Feng Cheng's cute baby face showed a look of disgust, "She won't be pestering us for a while, will we take her with us?"
"She has a beautiful idea!" Feng Xinyue, the compatriot sister sitting next to him, immediately rolled her eyes, "You don't even know what she is, why are you here with us? Is she worthy?"
"It would be great if she really shows up." Cang Jinglan put down the tea cup in her hand with a snap, and said with a sinister smile, "Just in time I can take a breath of bad breath for Qianyun."
Everyone else knew that the evil spirit he was referring to was the fact that Chu Xinghe was poisoned by Chu Ran and had his spiritual roots disabled.
"I have known Qianyun for so many years, and I have never seen her so angry." Feng Xinyue frowned and said, "This Chu Ran is really hateful! I don't know where she got the defensive circle, so we can't rush in and teach her a lesson.
she!"
"Why are you so anxious?" Ouyang Yu, who was sitting across from him with an ordinary appearance and a black sword on his back, said coldly: "As long as she still wants to participate in the selection, she won't have to worry about finding a chance to do it!"
While talking, Chu Qianyun also arrived.
She was wearing an aqua blue gauze dress, with a touch of powder on her face, and her cool temperament, just like a fairy in the ninth heaven who does not eat fireworks, her beauty is so mesmerizing.
"It's been a long wait, let's go."
The six people stood up together, surrounded her in the center like stars holding the moon, and boarded the chariot outside the mansion while talking and laughing.
Before the chariot moved, Chu Qianyun glanced at the east courtyard wall.
Behind the wall is where Zhaiyue Pavilion is.
"Qianyun, are you thinking about that trash?" Cang Jinglan was the first to notice her movements. In the past few days, he had been outside Zhaiyue Pavilion frequently and bombarded her with tactics. Naturally, he knew where was behind the wall.
"It's almost time to enter. She hasn't shown up yet. I guess she must be scared, so she's hiding inside like a coward." He deliberately used his spiritual power, and his voice floated over the courtyard wall and fell into the
In the Moon Picking Pavilion.
There was silence within the walls.
"Look, am I right? She is a waste! She signed up for the competition, I think, just to gain attention! She wants to use this method to gain limelight. Such a despicable and disgusting woman is not worth your attention.
, it’s not worth you being angry for her." Cang Jinglan said, with contempt on her face.
"That's right." Feng Xinyue agreed.
But as they gradually approached the competition venue, the Imperial City North Martial Arts Field, they heard that familiar name from the crowd gathered around them.
"It seems to be really Chu Ran!"
"I used to suspect that she had the same name, but I didn't expect it was really her!"
"Although she reshaped her spiritual roots before, how long has it been since then? She actually broke through to the fourth level of Spirit Attendant?"
"It's not a lie, right?"
"You forgot, everyone who participates in the selection must take a final test before entering. If you dare to cheat, you will not only be deprived of qualifications on the spot, but you will also be charged!"
…
"Chu Ran!?" Cang Jinglan stared, her eyes quickly moving forward, scanning the team extending from the entrance of the martial arts training ground.
This team is full of contestants lining up for the final test.
But no matter how he looked or looked, he couldn't find any trace of Chu Ran.
The same is true for Feng Xinyue and others.
"Why can't I find it?" She just felt weird.
As soon as he finished speaking, a blue shadow suddenly flew out of the chariot beside him.
"Qianyun!"
The sound of breaking through the air came from behind.
Chu Ran, who had taken Mercury out early, was waiting outside the martial arts training ground. He moved his feet slightly and his clothes drew an arc in the air.
"boom!"
With the cold and frosty sword energy, it fell to the ground, instantly splitting a deep crack in the earth.
Several warriors who had no time to dodge were blown away by the shock wave and slammed into the crowd of onlookers in the distance.
The exclamations came one after another.
Chu Ran landed not far away and let go of Mercury's arm.
His thin eyelids suddenly raised, his gaze like a razor blade, and he collided with Chu Qianyun's cold gaze in the air.
