After dealing with the matter of Tianmao Trading Company in Tiandu City, it was already afternoon when Xiao Ran and others returned to the Xiao family in Tianwu City.

Walking on the street, everyone was extremely excited. Countless people were talking, and the topic of discussion had shifted from the unknown Xiao Ran to the upcoming General Zhenyuan.

Tomorrow, this Zhenyuan general Liu Kui will come.

Liu Kui is a legendary figure.

Thirty years ago, he rose from an unknown general to become one of the top ten generals of the Wolong Empire due to his outstanding military exploits against millions of monsters. His status was directly ranked among the top five, and his influence was even more terrifying.

In these years, Liu Kui led troops to suppress almost all the countless invasions by monsters. Therefore, among countless civilians, Liu Kui also had the highest reputation.

And tomorrow, this legendary figure will come here, which can't help but make many people think about it. Of course, some people are worried that a beast tide will break out here. Otherwise, how could the general come? Anyway, there are all kinds of beasts.

There are different opinions on the version.

Xiao Ran naturally laughed at these people's claims. It would be more than ten years before the next beast wave breaks out in Tianwu City. It was also at that time that countless unknown masters suddenly became famous.

Among them, Ouyang Fei and others have become well-known top players.

Putting aside all the discussions in his ears, Xiao Ran and others directly entered the Xiao family.

In the city lord's palace, on the road to a small courtyard, a group of teenagers were gathering together to discuss something. At this moment, Xiao Ran slowly walked in from outside.

Xiao Ran nodded slightly and smiled at the crowd, and prepared to walk towards the study room where his father's office was located.

"Xiao Ran!"

When passing by the crowd, a voice called out to Xiao Ran suddenly. The voice was a little weak. Xiao Ran was stunned, stopped and looked over there.

There were a dozen teenagers over there, many of whom were the same age as Xiao Ran, and the one who spoke was Xiao Feng, who was two years older than Xiao Ran.

At this time, Xiao Feng had an embarrassed look on his face. He looked at Xiao Ran with an unnatural look on his face. It was Xiao Ran he called just now.

"Cousin Xiao Feng, what's wrong? Do you have anything to do with me?" Xiao Ran looked at Xiao Feng with a calm gaze and laughed softly.

"Uh, um, I want to ask you a question. I'm practicing a set of swordsmanship recently, but I've encountered some problems. Can I ask you?" After Xiao Feng finished speaking, he glanced at Xiao Ran with a guilty look on his face, and his face was a little a little bit.

whitish.

Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but feel dumb.

Seeing that Xiao Ran was silent, Xiao Feng on the side lowered his head even more fiercely and clenched his fingers deeply.

"Well, yes, it's not just you. If you encounter any trouble in the future, you can come to me at any time as long as I am free. After all, our surname is Xiao, right?" Xiao Ran looked at everyone and smiled.

"Our surname is Xiao?" Xiao Feng repeated this sentence silently, with a look of shame on his face. After a long time, he still raised his head and said to Xiao Ran: "Thank you, cousin Xiao Ran. I will come over to see you later."

, you just came back, go see your uncle and the others first, by the way, the old man can get out of bed and walk around now!" Xiao Feng said with a smile.

"Yeah, okay!" Xiao Ran smiled and nodded, paused, then turned around and left with Wu Zhi and others.

Looking at the backs of Xiao Ran and others leaving, the faces of the group of people behind them all looked a little decadent and ashamed. Many of these people had secretly cursed Xiao Ran and even harmed him. But now that Xiao Ran has gained power, they still remain the same.

Treating them like this, the gap between the two made them feel extremely ashamed.

"You guys go back first. I'll go find my father first. I'll come to you if I have anything to do. Just hurry up and practice. I'll be leaving again soon. If your cultivation isn't enough, I won't take you with me."

Go!" When passing by Xiao Ran's courtyard, Xiao Ran suddenly turned around and said to the people behind him.

"Yes!" Several people's eyes showed excitement, and then they turned and left. Looking at the leaving figures of several people, Xiao Ran's eyes showed thinking. As for how they were practicing, Xiao Ran was not worried. They were all

The cultivation qualifications are all excellent, and combined with Xiao Ran's large amount of elixirs and Tuxuan crystals, the cultivation speed is still acceptable.

After thinking about it, Xiao Ran said to Xiao Huang hanging around his neck: "Xiao Huang, you should go back first. I'm tired of holding you all the time. I'm going to see my parents now, okay?

"

The corner of Xiao Huang's mouth suddenly turned up, a little unhappy, but he still nodded, jumped off Xiao Ran's body, and walked towards the small courtyard without looking back.

Seeing Xiao Huang walk in, Xiao Ran smiled and nodded, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Master, you are back!" An old and sickly voice suddenly sounded.

Xiao Ran looked at the visitor and laughed softly: "God, how do you feel about your injury now?"

"Ahem, okay, it's almost done. A few more days of recovery from the trauma should be enough to fully recover!" Tianlao moved his arms slightly, turned around and walked towards Xiao Ran.

"Well, that's good. By the way, God, what do you want from me?" Xiao Ran said doubtfully.

Tianlao pondered for a moment, seemed to be thinking about something, stared at Xiao Ran for a few times and then said: "I think I should know where Ling'er was taken!"

"What? You said you knew? What's going on?" Xiao Ran's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stared at Tian Lao and asked, with a hint of urgency in his tone, and his eyes turned slightly red.

Tian Lao understood Xiao Ran's anxiety and did not show off. He whispered to Xiao Ran: "When I stood opposite to that person, the person only said a few simple words, asking about Ling'er, but it was only these few words.

This word betrays this person’s identity!”

"Oh? How do you say this?" Xiao Ran looked surprised, looked at Tian Lao and said in a deep voice. After a short moment, Xiao Ran had suppressed the restlessness in his heart. After all, the temperament of the former Sword God was not

I said it was just for fun.

"The accent of that person belongs to Wolong City in Wolong Continent, which is the capital of Wolong Continent. When I was still young, I was lucky enough to travel with my master, so I still remember the accent of people speaking there. However, I also

I'm not sure whether that person came from Wolong City!" Tianlao said word for word. It was obvious that he had been thinking about these words for a long time.

After listening to Tian Lao's words, Xiao Ran nodded thoughtfully. The Wolong Continent is so big, and the living habits of the population in different places are even more different. The tone of voice was naturally a little surprised. It was not enough that Tian Lao could hear it.

Moreover, after Tianlao said this, Xiao Ran suddenly remembered some things that happened in his previous life.

In the previous life, after Ling'er died in the family, the body disappeared mysteriously, and not long after, a behemoth in Wolong City began to attack the Wang family, so Xiao Ran was able to survive in the previous life.

But Xiao Ran didn't know it at the time, and even now, Xiao Ran doesn't know what kind of force it is, and few outsiders know about it. I'm afraid only the Wang family, who are involved, know about it.

But in this life, after Ling'er's body erupted with Xuanbing Qi again, he was picked up by someone. I'm afraid it has something to do with that force.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but feel slightly relieved, and he was even more certain that Ling'er would not be in any danger at this time.

"That man should have come from Wolong City. Okay. God, you'd better recuperate as soon as possible. I'll have to leave the family in a while. The family needs to be taken care of by you!" Xiao Ran said with a smile.

"Are you leaving again? Just leave the family to me, I will fight to the death to take care of it!" Tian Lao said firmly as he looked at Xiao Ran.

"Well, let's go, let's go to my father's place and have dinner together!" After saying this, Xiao Ran and Tian Lao walked towards Xiao Zhan's study.

At this time, Xiao Zhan was approving the development plans written down one by one. His whole person was even more full of vitality. Moreover, just yesterday, the cultivation level that had troubled him for many years finally broke through again. Now, he has reached

The cultivation level of the fourth-level sword king is still improving steadily. In less than half a month, he will be able to break through to the fifth-level sword king. I am not in a bad mood.

"Dad, you're still busy!" Xiao Ran walked in without closing the door, and saw Xiao Zhan sitting on the desk looking at something.

"Master!" Tianlao walked in and said with a smile.

"Haha, of course, God, you are here!" Xiao Zhan chuckled, and then said: "The family is developing and expanding, but it is not easy to handle in Tiandu City. There are many forces there.

Almost all of them are our enemies, but Tianwu City cannot continue to develop, so I am thinking of a way!"

Hearing Xiao Zhan's words, the smile on Xiao Ran's face froze, and then he said loudly: "Father, feel free to send people to Tiandu City for development. I think some people no longer dare to touch the Xiao family anymore. As for those who used to do it,

Enemies, I wish I didn't go after them!" Xiao Ran muttered.

If it weren't for the fact that the Xiao family today was too weak to make enemies everywhere, Xiao Ran would have directly eliminated those families.

Moreover, there were too many people targeting the Xiao family last time, and it was inconvenient to take action, so Xiao Ran has been waiting for the opportunity, waiting for an opportunity that does not offend too many people and can shock everyone. As soon as the opportunity comes, Xiao Ran will

Severely deal with the forces that plundered the Xiao family's property and resources.

Of course, Xiao Ran doesn't have high hopes for Wei Feng, the lord of Tiandu City, as long as he is not a burden.

When Xiao Zhan heard what Xiao Ran said, his frown finally relaxed. The son in front of him was becoming more and more promising. Not only could he stand alone, but he could also support a family.

"General Zhenyuan is coming tomorrow. As city lords, we must go to greet him. If it is convenient tomorrow, you can come with me!" Xiao Zhan thought for a moment and said to Xiao Ran.

"Yes!" Xiao Ran and Tian Lao both nodded slightly. Most people would be in awe of General Zhenyuan, and there was nothing wrong with asking them to pick up the general who was loved by the people.

After talking about some trivial matters and the family's development plan, Xiao Zhan took Xiao Ran and Tian Lao back to his courtyard.

When passing by the room where Ling'er was, Xiao Zhan turned around frequently. Xiao Ran couldn't help but feel a little pain in his heart. In his eyes, he firmly believed that he must find Ling'er as soon as possible.

The group returned to Xiao Zhan's room with a somewhat heavy atmosphere. In the room, Xiao's mother Murong Wan was doing embroidery. When she saw Xiao Zhan leading Xiao Ran, Tian Lao and others in, a smile immediately appeared on her face.

After talking for a while, they got up and went to prepare dinner, while Xiao Ran and the others continued to discuss the future development of the Xiao family in the room.

In less than an hour, Mother Xiao came over with her maid carrying seven or eight exquisite hot dishes.

"Let's eat first, don't be too tired!" Murong Wan looked at Xiao Ran with doting eyes. She had doted on Xiao Ran originally, but now Xiao Ran was more sensible and extremely happy.

"Okay, let's all eat!" Xiao Zhan chuckled softly.

The whole family, including Tian Lao, sat around the dining table and had a delicious meal. Xiao Ran, who had not eaten at home for two days, was even more excited.

This made Murong Wan, who was nearby, unable to close her mouth. Even Xiao Zhan, who rarely smiled, had a happy smile on his face.

Feeling the atmosphere full of happiness, Xiao Ran became more determined to protect this family and became more convinced of his future goals! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
