The news of An Xiaoyu's failure to go up the mountain to slay the dragon spread throughout Toadshan City almost instantly, and then continued to rush towards the outside of Toadshan City, and slowly the people of the entire empire began to know that An Xiaoyu went to Toad Mountain to fight with the water dragon and failed, and now he is missing.

Xiao An was stunned when he looked at the news, and then immediately called An Xiaoyu, anxiously saying that he must answer the phone, he must answer the phone, but he was picked up after two rings, Xiao An couldn't wait to ask: "Sister!" Are you alright? ”

"You saw the news, right? I'm fine, I'm acting! You don't have to worry? An Xiaoyu was full of anger when she spoke, and she didn't look like she had been seriously injured after losing a battle.

Xiao An breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, that's good, but why act and pretend to be defeated?" ”

"In order to repay the favor, it's useless to tell you about this matter now, but there is one more thing, since I have been defeated, I must recuperate from my injuries, so I won't go back these days, and the people who will save time to investigate will surround you, and by the way, I will investigate another matter."

"What's the matter?" Xiao An said curiously.

"Something about the Oracle." After An Xiaoyu said casually, he stopped talking, Xiao An heard that An Xiaoyu didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask more, and just wanted to ask something else, but another phone call came.

"Hello?" Xiao An picked up the phone, and then heard a familiar voice: "I brought Toad back!" ”

In fact, Xiao An thought a lot about Zhong Huaran, really thought a lot, but after all, he still didn't think about how to face this woman. Although An Xiaoyu often laughed at him with Zhong Huaran's affairs, he didn't feel how embarrassing it was to be deceived by a woman, but this kind of thinking seemed to be limited to Zhong Huaran, a woman.

What kind of opinion do you have about Zhong Huaran? Xiao An himself didn't know, so every time An Xiaoyu said it, he had no way to face it.

After hanging up the phone, Xiao An looked at the terminal and was stunned for more than 20 minutes, then slowly put on his clothes, said hello to his parents and walked out of the hotel, and then came to the café that Zhong Huaran said as agreed, and saw this woman as soon as he entered the door.

Zhong Huaran is a beautiful woman, an excellent woman cultivated by a big family since childhood, beautiful, generous, well-behaved, with a noble and elegant temperament, which Xiao An has never seen in other women, although he has never seen a few women outside.

Today, Zhong Huaran didn't bring any camouflage, let alone wear an old-fashioned military uniform, after coming down from Toad Mountain, he went to the mall to buy a plant cultivation warehouse, lingered at the entrance of the fashion district for a long time, and finally walked in and changed his clothes.

Light blue trousers and boots, a slightly loose knit sweater, a gray jacket on the back of the chair, long hair hanging down, revealing a delicate half of the face.

Xiao An admitted that Zhong Huaran is a beautiful woman, although she is not as beautiful as An Xiaoyu, but compared to others, she is already quite good. It's just that every time I saw Zhong Huaran before, her appearance was either charming and amorous, or rigid and mean, which was not what Xiao An liked.

But seeing Zhong Hua Ran like this now, Xiao An suddenly felt that if this woman was like this, it might not be bad, sitting in the afternoon sun, the coffee was on the table, holding the spoon in one hand and stirring it gently, her eyes were a little lazy.

Shaking his head, Xiao An left this charm behind him, and walked to sit down opposite Zhong Huaran.

"You're here!" Zhong Huaran's lazy eyes immediately became bright, and the happiness on his face when he saw Xiao An was beyond words, which made Xiao An even more entangled.

Zhong Huaran put a small box on the table and explained, "Toad flowers only open in winter, and the boss who sold me this cultivation warehouse told me that after putting it in for a week, the cultivation warehouse will slowly adjust the environment inside to winter, and then the toad flowers can always open." ”

"Oh." Xiao An looked at this cultivation chamber and didn't know what to say.

"But if it keeps blooming, I'm afraid the lifespan of this flower won't be too long, it's best to let it rest after a few days, and then turn it back. In fact, the best thing is when a lot of toad flowers bloom together, I saw it once, and it was very beautiful. If you have time in winter, you can come back again. ”

"Oh." Xiao An still didn't say anything, frowning and looking at the small flower in the cultivation warehouse, he had only seen photos before, and he thought it was big, but when he saw the real thing, he didn't expect that it was not as tall as one of his little fingers.

Zhong Huaran looked at Xiao An's reaction, still a little disappointed.

She had thought about how Xiao An would react. Either she is dismissive, or she is arrogantly unwilling to say that she forgives her, or she still turns her head away with cold words, or the two of them can let go of their past suspicions. She even thought that Xiao An might not even come to meet, which she could actually accept.

But only the current situation overwhelmed her, because she didn't know what Xiao An was thinking, and she didn't know what she should do now.

So the two men fell silent and sat down at the table in silence.

Soon the waiter brought Xiao An's milk tea over, and when he turned around and walked away, he looked back, thinking that these two people were really strange, just sitting here, as if they were settled, no one spoke, and it lasted for more than ten minutes.

Zhong Huaran had been peeking at Xiao An's expression, but found that Xiao An had no expression at all, so he smiled bitterly and said, "Can you give me a reaction?" ”

Xiao An was stunned for a moment, and when he raised his head, he saw Zhong Huaran's crying face, and suddenly felt a little panicked. He jerked up from his chair, bowed his head and said, "I...... That ......"

Lowering his head and thinking for a long time, Xiao An didn't think of what he should say, when he raised his head again, Zhong Huaran's eyes were already full of smiles, Xiao An suddenly had a feeling of being seen through, he panicked, grabbed the cultivation bin on the table and turned around and ran away.

Zhong Huaran opened his mouth slightly, quickly settled the account, put on his coat and walked to the door of the coffee shop, and saw that Xiao An did not leave, so he stood at the door and struggled, and when he saw Zhong Huaran coming out, he said: "I will forgive you this time, but you are not allowed to lie to me in the future!" ”

After saying that, Xiao An felt as if something was not quite right The atmosphere spread, so he added: "Otherwise, I will let my sister clean you up!" ”

Zhong Huaran was amused and asked, "I'll send you back to the hotel?" ”

Xiao An didn't appreciate it: "I can go back by myself!" ”

With a snort, Xiao An turned around and left the door of the coffee shop, Zhong Huaran did not continue to stick it with a dead face, but watched Xiao An disappear into the corner of the street, and turned around and left with satisfaction. Pulling out the terminal and dialing out a phone call, she asked, "How's the investigation going?" Okay, I'll be right over! ”

After taking a car, Zhong Huaran rushed towards the Zhong family's temporary station in Toadshan City, and after getting out of the car, he entered a small alley, and then found this dilapidated courtyard. The person at the door respectfully opened the door for Zhong Huaran, but he was a little surprised to see Zhong Huaran's smile on his face and the completely different dressing style on his body, which was really confusing.

Zhong Huaran only remembered that his current image was a little different at this time, and instantly changed to a cold face and asked, "Something?" ”

The two guards were startled, and quickly lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at them again: "It's okay!" It's okay! ”

Just kidding, Zhong Huaran is now a hot figure in the Zhong family, he was sent to Dongyun in the past, but now he has finally broken through the master realm, and is expected to stabilize the new master of the grandmaster realm in the future, how dare these peripheral members have any thoughts that they yearn for?

Zhong Hua snorted coldly and walked directly into the door, and the two of them glanced at each other, both of them breathing a sigh of relief.

The person in charge of intelligence on the side of Toadshan City was an acquaintance of Zhong Huaran, and when he saw Zhong Huaran walking in with such clothes, he was also a little puzzled, and asked, "Are you going to change your style?" ”

Zhong Huaran rolled her eyes and ignored him, and heard him say: "Also, you are now a master of the Void God Realm, and your status in the family is also much higher, you don't have to worry about being harassed by all kinds of things, there is no need to pretend to be a little girl, which woman doesn't want to be beautiful?" ”

"So, what can't you say on the phone when you called me?" Zhong Huaran didn't take the topic, but asked.

The intelligence chief said: "I asked you to come over because I found out that your phone has been monitored, and the other party's level is very high, and I can't intercept it or crack it, so I can only ask you to come over like this, what trouble have you been in recently?" ”

Zhong Huaran was stunned for a moment, and knew that Xu Heru was doing something with this stinky mother-in-law, so she gritted her teeth and said: "A shameless woman, personal grievances, have nothing to do with the family. ”

"Oh." Hearing that it had nothing to do with the family, the intelligence chief was not interested, but as a friend, he still gossiped and asked: "Rival in love?" ”

"You want to die?" Zhonghua was furious.

"Calm down! Calm down! The intelligence leader hurriedly took a step back, and said with a smile: "Look at your temper, now you are also a senior leader, so you don't have to fight and kill all day long, you have to know how to be restrained, and you will also have a family in the future, right?" How can you get married like this? ”

"Huh! If you can't get married, it's not cheap for an old man like you! Zhong Huaran sneered.

The intelligence leader was a little surprised: "Then what kind of little man do you have a crush on?" ”

Zhong Huaran's face suddenly turned red, and he changed the topic and said, "So how is the investigation going?" ”

The intelligence leader secretly said in his heart that he had seen a ghost, but he didn't dwell on the other party's personal feelings, so he said: "An Xiaoyu suddenly appeared in Toad Mountain and fought with the water dragon, but after a few moves, he almost hit the water dragon hard, but in the end he failed, was attacked head-on by the dragon's breath, and now he is missing." ”

"Dragon's breath?" Zhong Huaran was puzzled.

"It's that water column, and now people call it Dragon's Breath."

Zhong Huaran didn't think there was anything wrong with this name, she was puzzled by another thing: "You said that An Xiaoyu didn't know why it appeared?" ”

"Yes, it is said that after the Four Lives Alliance came down the mountain, when he was being interviewed at the foot of the mountain, An Xiaoyu suddenly heard a long howl from the top of the mountain, and then the kind of coercion unique to An Xiaoyu covered the entire vicinity of Toad Mountain, and then fought with the water dragon...... Didn't you go up the mountain with the Four Lives Alliance, don't you know? ”

Zhong Huaran said: "This is the most important thing, when they came down the mountain, I stayed on the mountain for a while, but I didn't find An Xiaoyu's existence at all. ”

"It's normal, An Xiaoyu has a special means to cover up her figure, so that her sense of existence completely disappears between heaven and earth, according to the information collected during the Dongyun period, if An Xiaoyu herself does not reveal the power of the divine soul, it is difficult for anyone to discover her existence." The intelligence chief said as a matter of course.

"But why is she in that place at this time?" Zhong Huaran wondered.

"Maybe you want to see them slay dragons? After all, the Four Lives Alliance is also an organization that has just emerged, and it is normal for An Xiaoyu to be curious about their strength, or want to take this opportunity to see what kind of strength that water dragon is, and then decide whether to make ......a move."

"No, no, no!" Zhong Huaran denied it, and suddenly there was a suspicion in his heart.

The two scenarios mentioned by the intelligence chief are basically unlikely. If An Xiaoyu really wants to test the strength of the Four Lives Alliance, then An Xiaoyu must have some thoughts about the Four Lives Alliance, whether it is good or bad, and he will never expose what he has done on the scene in the future, and he will not make a move on the water dragon.

And if An Xiaoyu wanted to determine whether she could defeat the water dragon through the battle between the Four Lives Alliance and the water dragon, then An Xiaoyu should have been able to see that she was not the opponent of the water dragon at all, and there would not have been this later scene.

Coupled with the last confrontation between Fusheng and the water dragon, Zhong Huaran thought of the scene where she closed her eyes and didn't dare to look at the result because she was afraid, and it suddenly made her feel that things were not simple.

Why did An Xiaoyu appear in Toad Mountain? What happened when the water dragon pounced on him and Fusheng at that time? Why did An Xiaoyu make a move on the water dragon? Where did An Xiaoyu go after her failure? What is the floating being hiding?

Zhong Huaran thought about it, and suddenly said: "Bring out the video of the battle between Fusheng and the water dragon at that time, as well as the interview script of Fusheng, and show me!" ”

The intelligence leader knew that Zhong Huaran must have found something, so he quickly called up the video materials of various media, Zhong Huaran quickly browsed, the more he watched, the faster he looked, and finally put down his light brain and said: "I knew that things would not be so simple!" ”

"What do you mean?" The intelligence chief said.

"If you look at these videos, almost no one was able to capture the last encounter, and this layer of clouds is just behind us, and all the cameras are blind spots," Zhong explained. ”

"I was about to ask you, what happened in the last fight? I see you're here too. ”

"I don't know." Zhong Huaran said: "This is all the source of my doubts, I only know that at that time, the dragon rushed over, I thought I was dead, and then I closed my eyes, and then the dragon disappeared." ”

"Gone?" The intelligence leader was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that something was not quite right.

"Yes, it's gone!" Zhong Huaran recalled the scene at that time: "It's as if Fusheng did it on purpose, it's a scene from beginning to end, but why did this dragon suddenly disappear?" Why would the floating life know this? And at that time, Fusheng said some very strange things to me, as if ......"

"What?" The intelligence leader asked curiously, but when he looked at Zhong Huaran, he found that she was already stunned in place, as if she had thought of something, so he asked, "What did you find?" ”

Zhong Huaran shook his head and said: "You investigate this matter first, I don't know if my conjecture is true, saying it will affect your work, change the terminal for me, don't let that crazy woman listen to me again, we will contact directly when the time comes." ”

The intelligence leader spread out his hand to express his helplessness, and then took out a special terminal from the box next to him and put it in Zhong Huaran's hand, and advised: "In short, this matter is too deeply involved, if you can determine what news, you must tell the above, the above attaches great importance to it." ”

Zhong Huaran took the terminal for pupil recognition, nodded and turned to leave.

"Also, you should be safe!" The intelligence chief finally explained.

"Got it!" Zhong Huaran waved his hand, walked out of the temporary station, returned to the street, called An Xiaoan, and asked, "Xiao An, I want to invite you to dinner, are you free tonight?" ”

"I'm free, but I don't want to go." Xiao An said angrily.

Zhong Huaran giggled and said, "Don't make trouble, tell you something serious, aren't we reconciled?" ”

"Who made peace with you?" Xiao An said, but still asked, "When?" ”

"I'll call you downstairs in the evening."

"Okay." Xiao An hung up the phone inexplicably, not knowing what Zhong Huaran wanted to say about himself, but he couldn't help but feel a little melancholy when he thought of having dinner with Zhong Huaran at night, and then thought of Zhong Huaran's clothes today.

In the past, Zhong Huaran either wore a military uniform, or wore plain clothes to enhance the sense of camouflage, but he didn't feel anything wrong. But after seeing Zhonghua's glamorous side today, Xiao An realized that An Xiaoyu gave him so much money, not to let him eat all the time.

After a moment of confusion, Xiao An turned over and got out of bed, pinching the terminal and leaving the hotel.

At this time, Zhong Huaran had also returned to the foot of Toad Mountain, and then he saw that the people of Lao Shan Ginseng had begun to take over the defense of Toad Mountain, and one after another mecha stood in the temporary camp, shining in the sun.

Zhong Huaran smiled slightly, and things seemed to be starting to get interesting.
