95: Several brothers and sisters

Chapter 95: A Few Brothers and Sisters

That night was spent in the village.

Ye Hongyi was right; the food in Southern Xinjiang was unlike any Lu Ran had eaten in Black Fire City.

Moreover,

because Wei Yingying personally arranged it, the chefs were all of a high level.

One meal even granted Lu Ran two points of intelligence, one point of stamina, and three points of agility!

At the same time,

Lu Ran also gained a bunch of food buffs, and while these food buffs only lasted a few hours, Lu Ran didn't really need them anyway.

The next morning,

Lu Ran habitually woke up, then suddenly froze.

He then went out and saw Liu Xinxin strolling through the village, and hurried over to her.

He asked, "Sister Xin, how do I conduct my morning meeting?"

"Morning meeting?" Lei Tai happened to be passing by and said, "What morning meeting? Once you've awakened your profession, you just play by yourself. What's there to hold a meeting for? Your ranking in the morning meeting is already far ahead, there's no surprise left. Besides, which of those instructors in the morning meeting could teach you?"

"But this is a school rule. If I don't go, won't it be..." Lu Ran hesitated.

Just then,

Ye Hongyi also walked over.

She put an arm around Lu Ran's shoulder, pulling him into her embrace.

Raising an eyebrow, she said, "A mere Blackfire Academy, if they dare to come looking for you because of a rule, I, your elder sister, will be the first to deal with them!"

And so,

Lu Ran's morning meeting was canceled.

Without even notifying the academy.

But this did indeed attract the academy's attention.

During the morning meeting, Lu Ran never appeared. Qin Wuyao looked in the direction of Lu Ran's class, a hint of reluctance seemingly in her eyes.

She opened her communicator, intending to contact Lu Ran.

But after a moment's thought, she gritted her teeth and closed the message box.

Her expression was a bit poor.

At the morning meeting, Lu Ran's level was, of course, still far ahead, with those behind him unable to catch up even if they tried!

The huge gap was like an old student had snuck into the newcomer rankings.

After the morning meeting,

Jiang Zhenbei and several instructors came to the conference room.

"Lu Ran still didn't come in the end?" Jiang Zhenbei asked with a frown.

The other instructors looked at each other, no one speaking.

"How outrageous! For so many years, the newcomer morning meeting has been an unshakeable rule! Not taking leave, not showing up without permission, what does he think he is?" Jiang Zhenbei angrily rebuked.

At this moment,

an instructor cautiously said, "Lu Ran's current level truly doesn't require our instruction, but not coming to the morning meeting directly is somewhat impolite."

"Hmph!" Jiang Zhenbei snorted coldly and said, "This isn't a matter of politeness or impoliteness. I admire his ability to level up so quickly; never before has any Undead Mage leveled up so fast, but this is not an excuse for him to be arrogant!"

After speaking,

Jiang Zhenbei asked again, "By the way, does anyone know how Lu Ran leveled up so quickly? Is there any news?"

One of the instructors pondered for a few seconds.

He said, "I did pay special attention, but none of the people I investigated had contact with Lu Ran. However, Lu Ran and Qin Wuyao were very close before, but recently they don't seem to have teamed up with Qin Wuyao anymore. Also, Lu Ran had contact with Qin Lie."

Qin Lie?

Jiang Zhenbei was startled and frowned slightly, saying, "If Qin Lie tacitly approved, then it really won't be easy to find trouble with Lu Ran. This kid is too arrogant!"

Even with Qin Lie of the Tiandao Alliance backing Lu Ran,

Lu Ran shouldn't be arrogant!

After some thought,

Jiang Zhenbei didn't directly question Lu Ran, but instead sent a message to Qin Lie first: "Great Deacon, Lu Ran didn't come to the morning meeting today. Isn't this not so good? If it was your tacit approval, at least the academy should have been notified, right?"

Although he was fuming, Jiang Zhenbei didn't dare to speak too harshly to Qin Lie.

After all,

Qin Lie was the Great Deacon of the Tiandao Alliance's Black Fire City branch!

Qin Lie, who received the message, was currently overwhelmed with his own family matters; how could he have the leisure to discuss whether Lu Ran attended the morning meeting with Jiang Zhenbei?

"A mere morning meeting, with Lu Ran's current ability, he could even dismantle Blackfire Academy!" Qin Lie muttered helplessly.

After some thought,

he replied, "It wasn't my tacit approval, but you'd best not interfere. It's just a morning meeting, a trivial matter. Is it really worth it?"

Qin Lie was already in a bad mood due to family matters.

Naturally, his message was not polite.

After sending it, Qin Lie thought of Jiang Zhenbei's temper and figured he would still be unconvinced.

So he directly sent a message to Ye Hongyi, explaining the situation.

Indeed!

Jiang Zhenbei's eyes immediately widened when he saw the message!

"Good, good, good! Since it wasn't Qin Lie's tacit approval, I want to see who gave Lu Ran such confidence!" Jiang Zhenbei said angrily.

On the other side,

in Zhangwu Valley.

Ye Hongyi received the message.

At this time, Lu Ran was still grinding monsters, and Lei Tai and Liu Xinxin were also by his side.

Wei Yingying was guarding the entrance of Zhangwu Valley as she had yesterday, watching from the top of the tower.

Although she had watched Lu Ran grind monsters yesterday, seeing it again today was still just as thrilling!

"Jiang Zhenbei? Oh, Lu Ran's academy dean, right? Damn it, he's actually questioning Lu Ran over such a trivial matter?" Lei Tai was speechless.

"It's better to resolve it, after all, it is indeed breaking the rules," Liu Xinxin mused.

At this moment, Jiang Zhenbei

had opened his communicator, intending to personally question Lu Ran.

After some thought, he directly sent a message to Lu Ran: "Lu Ran, didn't come to the morning meeting?"

As soon as the message was sent,

Ding!

A new message came in.

"My younger brother won't need to attend morning meetings from now on. I said so."

This message was very arrogant!

Jiang Zhenbei immediately raised an eyebrow, but when he clicked on the sender's profile, he instantly turned pale with fright.

Ye Hongyi!

Ye Hongyi of the Red Cloak Tower!

What's going on?

He had just sent a message to Qin Lie to question him, and then Ye Hongyi's message came right after!

Lu Ran's backing was Ye Hongyi!

Gulp~

Jiang Zhenbei swallowed.

Just as he was thinking about how to reply to Ye Hongyi's words,

Ding!

Another message came in.

"A broken morning meeting, what's the point? Isn't it annoying? I'm Lu Ran's brother. If you keep yelling about your rules, I'll tear down your academy!"

This one was even more arrogant!

But having learned from the previous experience, Jiang Zhenbei hurriedly clicked on the sender's profile.

Suddenly, his head buzzed.

The person who sent the message this time was Lei Tai of the War Flag National Protection Army!

"Lei Tai, also... also backing Lu Ran!" Jiang Zhenbei was dumbfounded.

But that wasn't all.

Immediately after, another message came in.

This one was much gentler: "Lu Ran is my younger brother. The morning meeting is useless, so he won't be going anymore."

Jiang Zhenbei's trembling hands clicked on the sender's profile.

Liu Xinxin of Mirror Flower Water Moon!

The three guild masters of Dragon Xia's Four Great Guilds simultaneously sent him messages!

Jiang Zhenbei quickly opened Lu Ran's message list.

He sent a message: "Student Lu, I didn't mean anything else, I was just worried when I saw you weren't here. Since your brothers and sisters say you're fine, that's good. As for the morning meeting, it's actually fine whether you come or not."

And at this moment, Lu Ran

didn't have time to pay attention to his communicator.

Instead, he was preparing to enter the Endless Tower to thoroughly surpass Nanasheng!

At the same time, he quickly began today's monster grinding journey.

"I can reach Level 30 today and unlock new entries and skills!"

Lu Ran was extremely excited!

On the contrary, suppressing Nanasheng didn't seem to excite Lu Ran as much.
