"Haa~"

Xiaoqi got up early today because it was the tenth day since Lu Zhaoran and Cheng Jiajia made their appointment.

After Lu Zhaoran returned from Yelan Palace, she asked Xiao Qi to find a small courtyard to rent, and then the group moved into the courtyard.

"Dong dong dong."

Just then, there was a knock at the door. Xiao Qi guessed that it must be Cheng Jiajia.

Sure enough, as soon as I opened the door, I saw Cheng Jiajia, who was dressed in a very flashy way.

"Hehe, Little Seven, did you miss me?"

The door had barely opened a crack when Cheng Jiajia squeezed right in.

"Ha~ Let me think about it."

Xiaoqi, who had just woken up and was still a little sleepy, yawned and casually replied to him.

"Sister Zhaoran! Sister Zhaoran!"

At this moment, Lu Zhaoran also heard the noise and came out. Cheng Jiajia looked up and saw her.

Upon seeing Lu Zhao, Cheng Jiajia casually pushed Xiao Qi aside.

"Hey?"

Xiao Qi, who had been pushed away, stumbled and turned around to find that Cheng Jiajia had already surrounded Lu Zhaoran.

"Who are you?"

Just as Cheng Jiajia was about to approach Lu Zhaoran, a female voice suddenly rang out, revealing a hint of murderous intent.

"bass!"

Then the sound of a sword being drawn rang out, and the next second the sword was right next to Cheng Jiajia's head.

"Waaaaah... Sister Zhaoran..."

Cheng Jiajia wanted to cry but had no tears.

Isn't Rong Qi'an, who always likes to bully people, enough? Why is there another female devil?

"Xingchen, put the sword away."

Lu Zhaoran spoke up, and Xingchen obediently sheathed her sword.

"Woooooooo..."

Startled by the sudden fright, Cheng Jiajia felt her legs suddenly weaken.

Then, with a thud, Lu Zhaoran saw Cheng Jiajia sit down on the ground.

"Xiao Qi helped him into the house."

Lu Zhaoran felt somewhat helpless.

One or two of them never give you a moment's peace.

…………

"Huh? Sister Zhaoran, are you going to see my brother?"

Once inside, Lu Zhaoran got straight to the point. Her condition for Cheng Jiajia was that Cheng Jitang come to see her.

"To be precise, I want your brother to come here to see me."

"Huh? You want my brother to come here?"

Cheng Jiajia scratched her head, looking a little embarrassed.

"Sister Zhaoran, how about you change your terms? If you want money, I'll give you whatever you want, but if you want to see my brother..."

Lu Zhaoran: "Is that not allowed?"

"It's not that it's impossible, but... if you have something important to discuss with my brother, you'd better go to his residence in person to deliver the invitation. If you go through me, my brother might think you're just a bunch of good-for-nothing playboys."

"Sigh, I'm not the perfect younger brother he likes. My brother has a lot of prejudice against me."

Cheng Jiajia was a little discouraged; he really lost face in front of his brother.

"Alright, since you can't do it, let's stop our deal. I can't easily pass on this spell to anyone."

Lu Zhaoran sighed and rubbed his forehead, saying it was a pity.

"No, no, no, Sister Zhaoran, don't worry! I only meant it was a little difficult, but I didn't say it was impossible! Wait for me, I'll go home and find my brother right away!"

Upon hearing Lu Zhaoran's words, Cheng Jiajia became anxious. He didn't want to stop the transaction; he also wanted to learn magic.

Casting spells so quickly is so cool, he absolutely, positively wants to learn it!!!

"Okay, then I'll give you some more time. If your brother isn't among the people who come next time, then... we'll say goodbye for good."

Lu Zhaoran's words made Cheng Jiajia's heart jump again. He hurriedly got into the carriage and rushed home. If he didn't know that this kid was afraid of his brother, he would have looked like he was going to kidnap him.

"Why bother saving a city that is on the verge of death? The city lord of Luoque City is at the height of his power. He is not like the weakened Yue Lin who can be dealt with at will. Provoking him will be a big problem."

Unbeknownst to Lu Zhaoran, Rong Qi'an had appeared at the doorway. He was leaning against the doorframe, his arms wrapped around his sword. His delicate features showed no emotion, and his tone was calm and indifferent, but Lu Zhaoran could detect a hint of resentment in his voice.

"How did you figure that out?"

Lu Zhaoran walked to the tea table, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and then asked a question.

"You personally designed the layout of this courtyard. It is a formation that gathers from all four directions and surrounds like swords, making it a killing formation."

Hearing this, Lu Zhaoran looked at Rong Qi'an and said, "I never knew you were so skilled in formations."

Rong Qi'an shook his head and said, "I am not proficient in formations; I can only say I have a basic understanding."

"You only know a little? You can tell this just by knowing a little? You're quite talented."

"Your hints were too obvious. For the past ten days, you have had me explore Luoque City and draw what I saw of the city. As you expected, I have grasped the general layout of the city. It is not hard to see that it is about 50% similar to yours."

"So where do you see the remaining five points of similarity?"

"I don't know, but if I'm not mistaken, the remaining five points are related to that kid's brother."

……

"Brother, what are they saying?"

Tao Ning, who came to bring food to Lu Zhaoran, was completely confused by what she overheard outside. She couldn't understand what the two were saying at all, but she did understand "the city of impending death".

Why is it called a "city on the verge of death"?

What exactly did Brother Qi'an mean by those words?

"It's nothing serious, don't overthink it, Sister Lu is here."

Tao Jing patted her head and comforted her a few times.

Tao Ning nodded.

Yes, with Sister Lu around, she believed nothing would happen.

……

"Sister Lu, Brother Rong, you must be hungry. Try the breakfast I made today."

……

The atmosphere inside the house was harmonious and pleasant, but the atmosphere in the yard was not so good.

Xingchen held the sword in her hand and had been practicing swordsmanship all morning.

'If you don't perform this Starry Night Dance well, you'll all die!'

……

"Bang!"

"puff!"

A sentence suddenly popped into her mind, completely disrupting Xingchen's steps. The sword in her hand slipped from her grasp due to the force, and she didn't know why she spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Stars!"

Xiao Qi noticed her condition and became anxious. He ran over to help Xingchen up and asked her urgently about her situation.

"Xingchen, what's wrong?"

"It's you! Someone...someone has altered my memories...Luoque City..."

After uttering a few words in fits and starts, Xingchen suddenly fainted.

"Stars! Stars!"

Xiao Qi was so startled that she picked him up and ran to find Lu Zhaoran.

"Sister Lu! Sister Lu!"

"Brother Xiaoqi? What happened? Oh! There's blood! Sister Xingchen!"

When Tao Ning, who came to open the door for him, saw the unconscious Xingchen and the bloodstains on her body, she exclaimed in surprise and then quickly made way for her.

"Sister Lu, please look at Xingchen! She suddenly vomited blood and fainted."

"Don't rush, put her on this small couch first."

Lu Zhaoran pointed to a small couch by the window and directed Xiao Qi to settle the person down.

She then began to examine Xingchen's body.

Before the investigation, Lu Zhaoran's brows furrowed immediately.

"Strange, she actually possesses the power of a fairy..."
