Ruo Lan and Rao Guan flew at full speed, directly escaping the Cloud Sea City. Hiding in the forest outside the city, their hearts were still beating fast.
Never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that there would be a Spirit Refinement realm expert hidden in that small room!
After a long while, the two finally managed to catch their breath.
”Are you sure that isn't the head of your Rong family?” Ruo Lan stared at him.
A wry smile appeared on his face, ”I've seen what the Patriarch looks like, that person definitely isn't!”
”He's also not the lord of this Cloud Sea City?” Rowland doubted.
Rong Jun didn't know whether to laugh or to cry, ”The head of the Rong family is the master of these two great heavens. That person, is not! ”
Ruo Lan suddenly became angry: ”Where did that Spirit Refinement cultivator come from?!”
Guan Guan said helplessly: ”I don't know either …” This is my first time in Yunhai City, who would have thought that there would be a Spirit Refinement realm expert guarding the treasury. ”
Remembering the situation earlier, both of them still had lingering fears in their hearts.
In the past, when the two of them were still at the middle Nascent Soul stage, they had no way of fighting back when fighting with the late Nascent Soul Stage martial artists. And this was just the difference in cultivation. If he were to encounter a Spirit Refinement realm, it was not a matter of cultivation, but the difference between his cultivation and the cultivation of a small realm. Just now, the two of them had had the slightest bit of hesitation, so it was impossible for them to leave the treasury alive.
Thinking about it, Ruo Lan couldn't help but say bitterly, ”I'll tell you, this is definitely the last time I'll go to that treasury! You'll never want me to go there with you again! ”
Rong Guan nodded and said with fear still lingering in his heart, ”I'm afraid I won't be going in this life …”
After a moment of silence, Ruo Lan controlled her breathing and asked with a frown, ”What do we do now?”
After frowning for a moment, Rong Guan said, ”I am still going to Yunhai City. No matter what, I have to confirm whether it is the Patriarch's wish to imprison me or Rong Zheng's faction that has done this.” ”As for you, Ruo Lan …”
”No need, I'll go with you.” Ruo Lan lightly said.
Now, the situation was completely different from before. Now they were connected to the Zhuge family. If Ruo Lan wanted to go back to the Sixth Heavenly Layer, she could use Zhuge Shang to think of a way, and there would be no need to go through so much trouble. However, she chose to be with him.
A strange feeling suddenly rose within the heart of Rong Qing as she looked at the somewhat furious face of Ruo Lan. She could not help but gently lean over.
Just as she approached, just an inch away from her cheek, Ruo Lan suddenly turned her head. A pair of bright eyes stared straight into her own.
”What do you want?”
Seeing those terrifying eyes, Rong Guan embarrassedly turned his head back.
The two of them returned to Yunhai City the next day only to find that there was no activity within the city at all. It was as if the Mysterious Sky God Sword had never been stolen before.
Although Rulan and Ruan Rao were puzzled, this was also good news.
Not long after he returned to the inn, he heard the sound of a door opening.
He opened the door and saw Zhuge Shang standing outside.
”Zhuge met two people.” Zhuge Shang bowed.
Ruo Lan and Rao San looked at each other. They understood that this fellow was here to interrogate them.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhuge Shang entered the door, he tactfully expressed his anger. However, what made him baffled was that Zhuge Shang's anger was directed at him.
At the end of the day, Zhuge Shang made a suggestion to the two of them that they should stay at Zhuge Shi's house.
That was not strange at all. That day, Ruo Lan had been invited to a sedan to discuss with the little girl about this matter. It was unknown what kind of agreement the two of them had reached. However, he did not ask and just followed Ruo Lan.
Ruo Lan followed Zhuge Shang to the mansion of the Zhuge family. It was a huge mansion. Naturally, this couldn't be compared with the Rong family.
Ruo Lan thought to herself. The gap between the first and second families was not small at all.
Thinking about it this way, the so-called 2nd Heavenly Layer Second Family was just a cover. It was probably because the Rong family didn't want to attract criticism that they wanted to support him.
The Rong family was indeed a powerful family that could fight against the North Continent's Wei family. Just their power alone was many times stronger than the other families.
”This is the manor of my Zhuge family.” Zhuge smiled.
Rong Guan curled his lips, looking at her with a disdainful expression. On the other hand, Ruo Lan smiled, ”My brother is like this. I hope brother Zhuge won't mind.”
Zhuge laughed, ”Young Master Hua, this is your true nature, how could Zhuge dare to take offense! The two of you, please come in. ”
As he spoke, he headed straight for the gate. However, just as he reached the door, he saw a figure jump out.
This was a young master who looked to be in his twenties. His cheeks were thin and his eyes sunken. One could tell from one glance that he had been addicted to drinking wine all year round.
Upon seeing this man, Zhuge Shang's complexion changed. That person was also startled to see Zhuge Shang, but in the next moment, he revealed a sneer.
”Who am I? It's Zhuge from the side branch of the Zhuge family.” The young master burst into strange laughter.
Zhuge Shang's face changed. The word 'side branch' was not randomly said.
However, he finally took a deep breath, endured his anger and bowed as he said: ”Greetings Second Young Master.”
This young master's eyebrows shot up as he shouted, ”What second young master? This young master is about to ascend to the seat of the family head.” ”You'd better change your words now. If my mood is good, I'll let you and that crippled bastard girl live in this house.”
Zhuge Shang took a deep breath, and said in a low voice, ”Second Young Master's words are wrong. Before the death of the deity, the head of the family left behind a testament. Whoever could use the Wind and Moon Glazed Bead to its fullest extent would be the new master of the Zhuge family. Second Young Master has not tried it yet, so you shouldn't speak carelessly. ”
”Talking randomly?” The second young master's eyebrows shot up as he raised his hand and said, ”Not only did I speak carelessly, I even hit people carelessly!” The upraised hand slapped Zhuge's face.
