Finally, after three peaceful months, Lin Ran received a call.
This call came from Monro, the knight in gold.
Before that, Munro came here and stayed for a few days, learned mahjong with Lin Ran and Tista for a few days, and then left.
After he left, Tista also turned on the retreat mode and no longer hung out in front of Ao Gushuang's door every day.
This guy looked cynical on the surface, but in fact he was holding a breath in his heart. At this moment, he felt that the opportunity had come, and he wanted to retreat and break through the stars.
"looking for me?"
Lin Ran looked at Monroe on the virtual light screen and said with a smile, "What, do you still want to play mahjong?"
"Han Xiqiao has lost contact." Monroe said, "It's been half a month."
"What?" Lin Ran frowned slightly, "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure the authorities of Hibiscus Country have contacted the Ideal Sect and asked for help in searching for it together." Monroe said, "The sect arranged for me to handle this matter."
This former golden knight has officially broken through the stars and can now stand alone.
"What exactly happened to Han Xiqiao?"
After Lin Ran came to this distant planet, he had not officially met Han Xiqiao. The two parties only had a few video calls. The latter had been in retreat to break through the stars.
However, the friendship between everyone fighting together will not fade in a short time.
"She disappeared at the junction of Donghua and Mugung Kingdom." Monroe said, "Mibiscus has been looking for it for more than ten days, but there is no news."
On the surface, Han Xiqiao's identity was the daughter of the dean of the National Martial Arts Academy of the Mugung Kingdom, but in fact, both Lin Ran and Monroe knew that her status in Mugung was obviously very high.
"I'll rush over now." Lin Ran said.
"There's no rush." Monroe said instead.
"Not in a hurry?" Lin Ran was a little confused about this attitude.
Could it be said that because I have been missing for half a month, I am not missing this moment?
"I think there is something fishy about this matter." Monroe said, "My plane will arrive at the Holy Light Territory in two hours and will take you there with me."
Lin Ran trusted Meng Luo's judgment very much. The other party looked tough, but he was actually very smart. When he said this, Lin Ran didn't worry anymore.
With two hours left, he started arranging matters related to the Holy Light Territory.
In fact, for Lin Ran, the hands-off shopkeeper, there is really nothing for him to worry about the specific affairs of the entire territory. Little Mary has already taken care of it smoothly, and the so-called arrangements are just a farewell before leaving.
As a result, all the female stars were in seclusion without exception, even Ai Xilin and Dong Hanyi, who were previously keen on playing mahjong and fighting landlords.
Except Sophie.
This Holy Light Territory is completely Lin Ran's own territory. He no longer wants to hide his relationship with the beautiful senior sister. However, Sophie does not want to expose this in front of Lin Ran's other female friends - she
It seemed that he was afraid of affecting Lin Ran's ability to pick up girls.
It has to be said that Sophie has no possessiveness towards Lin Ran at all. Even now, she still feels that her relationship with this little man can only be carried out secretly and secretly underground. Once it is exposed... at least she will not be able to show it on her face.
Already.
Lin Ran and Sophie said goodbye for more than an hour, and it was only after the beautiful senior sister begged for mercy dripping with sweat that it ended.
"When you leave, I will also go find my life experience." Sophie said softly, "By the way, I will take a good look at the world."
"Well, let Ai Xilin or Dong Hanyi accompany you." Lin Ran said, "I'm afraid it won't be safe for you to go out alone, and Atlantis will take you back."
"The distant planet is so big, I don't know when we will be able to see Qingcheng." Sophie lowered her eyes slightly and said.
However, after saying that, she suddenly realized that she was naked. Lin Ran's hand even covered her lower abdomen ten centimeters below the source of power pool. In this state, she mentioned that she was engaged to Lin Ran.
Junior sister, it seems inappropriate.
As a result, the beautiful senior sister's face suddenly turned red, but Lin Ran felt that this was actually... very exciting.
If Monroe's plane wasn't about to arrive, he would have had to experience this thrill one more time.
"Qingcheng must be paying attention to the news here. She hasn't shown up yet, so she must be unable to escape." Lin Ran thought for a moment, and then said, "I guess the same is true for Shangguan Xingyue."
After a brief chat, Sophie put on her clothes, hugged Lin Ran gently and said, "Have a safe journey."
At this moment, her delicate body covered with gauze was really touching.
Seeing Sophie's serious expression, Lin Ran suddenly felt moved and said, "Have you already felt something?"
"Are you asking about a woman's sixth sense?" Sophie laughed softly.
"Yeah." Lin Ran said, "Although this thing is mysterious, sometimes you have to believe it."
"My sixth sense is..." Sophie said with an extremely firm tone, "You will definitely succeed."
"Okay." Lin Ran hugged Sophie before walking out.
However, looking at Lin Ran's back, the worry in Sophie's eyes couldn't help but emerge.
She was indeed uneasy for no reason, but she could not explain the source of these worries at all, and she did not tell Lin Ran about it.
…………
Waiting for Monroe's flight
, Lin Ran said directly, "What do you think is the problem?"
"Tell me slowly." Monroe pointed to a black-cloth-masked cleric next to him and said, "Let me introduce you first. This is Archbishop Ross in black. He is in charge of trial and punishment in our Ideal Sect."
The black-clad Archbishop of the Ideal Sect of Far Planet!
This is the upgraded form of Blue Star Wika! .??.??
Lin Ran could even clearly feel the strong dark aura from this person!
"This archbishop is so strong," he said.
The archbishop in black nodded gently to Lin Ran and said nothing more.
"You even brought out such a strong person, so the situation is more serious than it appears?" Lin Ran smelled something different and couldn't help but ask.
In fact, he himself has been looking forward to this trip to the East for a long time. After all, according to Shao Juan's wishes, he still lacks the last crystal.
After collecting them all, you can summon the dragon, or, no, you can open the final portal.
However, if this trip to the East comes at the expense of Han Xiqiao's disappearance, then Lin Ran is really a little unwilling.
He is indeed such a person. Even if he doesn't break through to the stars, he doesn't want to lose any old friends.
"Han Xiqiao's disappearance is very strange." Monroe said, "According to common sense, the matter happened on the border between Donghua and Mugung Kingdom. Donghua should have sent people to help find it, but just some time ago, Mugung Kingdom's
When the National Martial Arts Academy visited the capital of Donghua for exchanges, a large-scale conflict broke out between the two sides, so much so that the relationship between the two countries began to cool down, and Donghua turned a blind eye to the disappearance of Han Xiqiao."
Lin Ran said, "So, it doesn't matter to the Donghua Federation whether Han Xiqiao is missing or not."
He knew that with the Donghua Federation's usual way of doing things that had nothing to do with itself, how could it possibly help its neighboring countries, which had always been on bad terms, to find a star?
Donghua might even be happy to hear about it...it's all a matter of stance, there's nothing to judge.
However, even though Han Xiqiao had just broken through the stars, how could he lose it?
Is it so easy to lose a strong star?
Lin Ran had seen the power of Han Xiqiao's Infinite Flower. If she broke through the stars and used this move, she might be able to directly destroy the mountains and rivers.
"So, the other party didn't even give her a chance to use the Flower of Infinity?" Lin Ran analyzed the key point keenly.
Even if the top stars face the lower-level stars, the latter will not necessarily be defeated in a crushing manner. If there is a real fight, there will definitely be large-scale movements and there will definitely be a chance to escape.
What's more, Han Xiqiao has a special status and must have many life-saving means.
Monroe nodded.
"In this case, it may end up being..."
Lin Ran squinted his eyes and said, "An acquaintance will do it."
Yes, only acquaintances can make Han Xiqiao let down his guard, leaving him with no time to resist... Moreover, there are many ways to do it!
Monroe said, "The reason why I said before that I didn't rush over is not just because it happened half a month ago."
"Are you afraid that this is a game?" Lin Ran said, "There are indeed many strange things about it."
"First of all, I can't understand the fact that Mibiscus Country asked for help from the Ideal Sect." Monroe said, "Our relationship with Mugung is not particularly close. In fact, according to common sense, they should seek help from the Magic Feather Organization.
.”
"Maybe we've found him already," Lin Ran said. "It's not impossible to seek medical treatment if you are in a hurry."
Monroe glanced at Lin Ran and said bluntly, "The Hibiscus Kingdom found me in the Ideal Sect, then I will definitely find you in the Holy Light Territory... This is my inference."
"You went through so much trouble to lure me out?" Lin Ran said, "Can't you just call me?"
Monroe shook his head and said, "What if this phone call cannot be made directly?"
Lin Ran frowned after hearing this, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"In other words, major changes may have occurred within the Hibiscus Kingdom, making it impossible for them to contact the Holy Light Territory?" Lin Ran said, and quickly overturned his judgment, "This should not be the case."
Monroe continued to talk about certain facts, "Han Xiqiao broke through the stars and his strength skyrocketed. The warriors in the entire Mugung Kingdom were greatly emboldened because of this, but..."
"But what?" Lin Ran said.
"However, except for Donghua, who is indifferent to worldly affairs, the surrounding countries are not willing to see the Mugung Kingdom continue to grow bigger and stronger." Monroe said, "In recent years, the Mugung Kingdom has produced several talented stars one after another.
This poses too great a threat to the surrounding areas.”
"Did the surrounding forces take action?" Lin Ran shook his head. "Either an acquaintance took advantage of him, or several stars took action together. Otherwise, Han Xiqiao will definitely be able to escape."
If this is the case, then the fight will definitely break the earth, and it is impossible to cause a silent disappearance!
Lin Ran sighed and expressed an inference in his heart that he didn't want to admit.
"Unless she disappeared voluntarily."
Monroe narrowed his eyes and said, "If Han Xiqiao is dead, we will mourn for her. If she is still alive..."
Lin Ran said nothing.
Monroe added the second half of the sentence, "If she is still alive, she is our enemy."
Lin Ran closed his eyes.
After a long time, he opened his eyes and said, "I believe her."
