Fall: Rebirth

Hearing that someone was outside the door looking for Jin Ran, Jin Peng, who had always been at odds with her, naturally wanted to join in the fun.

Jin Peng came outside the door and saw two figures with their backs to the gate. They were particularly eye-catching in this ancient land.

When I got closer, I saw that one of the young men with straight black hair stood tall with his hands behind his back, as if he was examining the world; the other young man with grey curly hair was a little more lively, pointing into the distance from time to time.

The conversation between the two was mixed with silver bell-like laughter, and it seemed that they were discussing a very interesting topic.

Hearing the voice, it turned out to be a young man. Jin Peng secretly wondered in his heart: Who are they? What is their purpose in coming here?

At this moment, the guards at the door spotted Jin Peng and saluted her at the same time, saying, "Meet Miss Jin Peng!"

Hearing the voice coming from behind, Xi Er and Ling Han couldn't help but turn their heads.

When Jin Peng saw their faces clearly, he was instantly stunned - both of them had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and extraordinary looks.

The gray curly-haired man's distinctive light blue pupils seemed to contain endless depth and mystery, and his unique ears made people want to explore the mystery. He had a faint smile on his lips, warming people's hearts like a spring breeze; his snow-white robe fluttered in the wind, making him look more elegant and majestic.

The black-haired man on the other side was wearing a light golden robe embroidered with some strange patterns that she couldn't understand. The patterns were intricate yet orderly, making him exude a noble and elegant temperament.

Jin Peng thought to himself, "Who are these two men? They look very special."

After Xi Er and Ling Han exchanged a glance, they both politely performed a standard etiquette towards Jin Peng.

Jin Peng also politely returned the greeting, but she still asked knowingly: "May I know your names, gentlemen? What is the purpose of your visit to my Shura clan this time?"

Xi'er smiled slightly, took two steps forward, and said softly: "My lady, I am Xi'er from the Elf Clan, and the one next to me is Ling Han from the Golden Dragon Clan. We came here this time..."

"They are here to see me." Jin Ran's cold voice suddenly came, interrupting Hill's words.

When Xier heard Jin Ran's voice, he couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in his heart. His face instantly blossomed into a happy smile, and his steps became brisk, and he quickly headed towards the direction where the voice came from.

At the same time, Jin Peng's face darkened slightly after hearing Jin Ran's voice, but she quickly regained her composure and forced a fake smile. She slowly turned around and said to Jin Ran, "I see! I was wondering why there were two handsome and elegant gentlemen outside the door? It turns out they came here specifically to look for my sister."

After listening to what Jin Peng said, Xier looked at Jin Peng with a smile and greeted her politely: "So you are Jin Ran's sister, what a pleasure to meet you!"

Jin Peng just smiled in response to Hill's greeting and didn't say much.

However, Ling Han was keenly aware of something strange. He felt that Jin Peng gave him a very familiar feeling, just like... just like Hai Shi! This strange feeling made Ling Han alert.

"Why are you here?" Jin Ran's eyes swept over Xi Er and Ling Han, without any enthusiasm or welcome in them. Her voice was as cold as ice, as if it could freeze people.

At this time, Jin Ran was wearing a gorgeous black dress, exuding a mysterious and noble temperament, revealing a sense of indifference and alienation.

Compared to the cold Jin Ran in Hill's memory, Jin Ran at this moment seemed even more cold-blooded and ruthless.

Hill was not repelled by Jin Ran's cold attitude. He looked at her gently and said softly, "We will be returning to the God Realm in the next two days. Everyone wants to go out for some fun before leaving, so I came here specially to invite you to go with us." Hill's eyes were full of expectation, as if he hoped that Jin Ran would agree to his request.

Jin Ran frowned slightly, not wanting to agree to Hill's request. But seeing Jin Peng's expression, she thought that it would be better to go out and play with Hill than to stay in the Shura Clan, so she said calmly, "Come in and have some refreshments while I pack up."

Hearing Jin Ran's answer, Xier looked at Ling Han with a smile on his face.

Ling Han, however, had a helpless look on his face. Facing other people's cold faces, he really didn't understand why Hill was so happy.

When Jin Ran returned to her room to pack her things, she told the maid to prepare tea and snacks.

At this time, Xi'er and Ling Han were sitting in a pavilion, drinking tea leisurely, while Jin Peng was adding tea from time to time.

At this time, Jin Ming was walking slowly towards them. As he approached, he looked at Xi Er and Ling Han who were drinking tea.

No one has come to see Jin Ran in all these years. This is the first time, so naturally he has to come and see her.

"Brother." Jin Peng saw Jin Ming's figure at a glance, put down the teapot in his hand, and ran over with a happy face.

Upon hearing this, Xi Er and Ling Han also looked over, stood up one after another, and bowed politely.

Jin Peng ran to Jin Ming, took his hand, and asked happily, "Brother, why do you have time to come here?"

Jin Ming turned and smiled at Jin Peng, then turned to look at Xi Er and Ling Han and said, "I heard that a distinguished guest was visiting, so I came to take a look."

Jin Peng took Jin Ming's arm and sat down at the table, then introduced him to Xi Er and Ling Han: "My two lords, this is my brother, and he is also the patriarch of the Shura clan."

When Ling Han heard this, a trace of surprise flashed across his face, and then he bowed and said, "So it's the clan leader, Ling Han is so rude!"

Xier also hurriedly bowed and said, "Xier greets the clan leader. I didn't expect the clan leader to be so young!"

Jin Ming smiled slightly and waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be polite. There was always a faint smile on his handsome face, as warm as the warm sunshine in spring.

"Brother, these two are my good friends. They came here specifically to invite me to go out and play together." Jin Peng said as he sat down on the chair.

Jin Ming took a sip of tea, then gently placed the cup on the table and said calmly, "Oh? I see."

Jin Peng had been paying attention to the changes in Jin Ming's expression, as if waiting for him to get angry or show other dissatisfaction. However, Jin Ming was unusually calm and did not show any unnecessary emotional fluctuations.

Seeing this, Jin Peng pretended to be friendly and said to Jin Ming: "Brother, look how charming my sister is. She is so popular wherever she goes. Oh, I really envy her!"

Jin Ming smiled slightly, his eyes swept over Ling Han and Xi Er, and said: "Ran Er has never stepped out of the Shura Clan before, so I have never heard of her having any friends. I guess the two gentlemen must have known Ran Er in the God Realm."

Ling Han nodded and said slowly: "Jin Ran is the beloved disciple of the Ancient God. The Gods often visit each other on weekdays, and occasionally they will bring us disciples along. Over time, we naturally became familiar with each other."

There was a hint of tentativeness in Jin Peng's words, and she sighed softly, "I really envy my sister! There are many disciples participating in the selection this time, but she was able to stand out and be among the best. Moreover, it is said that she is the disciple personally selected by the Ancestral God for the Ancient God!" After saying that, she turned to look at Xi'er and Ling Han, as if she wanted to hear their opinions on the matter.

Ling Han nodded slightly to show his agreement. He responded calmly, "Indeed, when the Ancestral God was personally selecting disciples for the Ancient God in the hall, he chose Jin Ran at first sight. I believe Jin Ran must be extraordinary."

Hill's tone was full of admiration and affirmation for Jin Ran. She continued, "Of course! When the first selection was held in the fairy world that day, I was unfortunately attacked by my companions. It was Jin Ran who rescued me. At that time, her cultivation was truly unfathomable, far superior to mine."

Jin Ming's tone was very gentle, and he asked softly: "Oh? There is such a thing?"

Hill nodded, a hint of innocence in his eyes.

Jin Ming stared at Xi'er's innocent look, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "Since both of you are Ran'er's good friends, you are naturally the distinguished guests of my Shura clan. If you have free time in the future, you are welcome to visit my Shura clan at any time. Remember to be cautious when you are out on this trip."

Jin Peng's heart tightened when she heard what Jin Ming said. She had expected that if these two men came to invite Jin Ran to go out for fun, Jin Ming would definitely come out to stop them. However, unexpectedly, Jin Ming not only acted very generously, but even chatted with them.

Jin Peng did not give up, so he continued to ask while pouring tea, "I wonder which noble son is going out with you this time?"

Xier, who was simple-minded, had no idea what Jin Peng meant by that. He said without thinking, "Also traveling with us this time are the young master Yan Ge of the Peacock Clan and Chu Heng of the Silver Dragon Clan. They are all our good friends."

"Are they all men?" Jin Peng pretended to be surprised and asked.

Hearing Jin Peng's words, Jin Ming paused as he was about to drink tea, then raised his eyebrows and continued to drink tea as if nothing had happened. He sneered in his heart and wanted to hear what else Jin Peng would say.

Ling Han had seen the Hai family's daily tactics many times, so how could he not see the hidden meaning in Jin Peng's words? She clearly wanted to cause trouble for Jin Ran.

Ling Han did not expose Jin Peng directly, but smiled slightly and said softly: "Miss Jin Peng is really joking. This is of course a woman, otherwise we would not have come here specially to invite Jin Ran. The young master of the Peacock Clan that Xier mentioned just now is actually my cousin. He has a sister named Yan Luo, who is also my cousin. She is the favorite disciple of the Star-Moon Goddess. This time we agreed to go out and play together before returning to the God Realm, but who knew that my spoiled cousin suddenly became unhappy and refused to go out with us no matter what. That's why Xier came here specially to invite Jin Ran, so that my cousin can have a companion."

“I see.” Jin Peng responded with a fake smile, but he secretly thought in his heart, “What a Ling Han, is he here to ruin my show?”
