Fall: Rebirth

"Hill and his cousin disappeared without a trace after breakfast. Even my father's car is gone." Yan Ge paced back and forth in the spacious and magnificent hall, muttering to himself, as if wondering where they had gone.

Chu Heng responded calmly: "Maybe they went to find that girl."

At this moment, the hall was filled with all kinds of packages and luggage, obviously ready for going out. However, since there was no vehicle, these items could not be moved away.

"Luo'er, take these cakes with you." Yu Nuo called the maid and brought a big box filled with cakes of different flavors.

"Mom, are you planning to ask us to empty the entire house?" Yan Luo looked at the piles of items in front of her, pouted and muttered.

At this moment, a cheerful laugh came from outside the palace: "We are back!"

When everyone heard this, they all turned their eyes towards the entrance of the hall.

Xi Er and Ling Han walked in with a girl.

Judging from her appearance, the girl is about the same age as Yan Luo.

As soon as Yan Ge saw them coming back, he quickly stepped forward, looked at Jin Ran carefully, and said to Xi Er: "I was wondering why I couldn't find you guys. It turns out you really went to look for girls."

Xier was delighted and quickly introduced them to each other: "This is Jin Ran, from the Shura tribe, and this is Yan Ge, Ling Han's cousin."

Yan Ge and Jin Ran bowed to each other out of politeness.

"What a heroic girl." At this time, Yu Nuo also walked towards everyone. Looking at Jin Ran's neutral outfit, he couldn't help but praise her.

Ling Han introduced Jin Ran: "Jin Ran, this is my aunt, she is a very kind and amiable person."

"Greetings, Madam." Jin Ran politely performed standard aristocratic etiquette towards Yu Nuo.

"Oh, don't be so polite!" Yu Nuo warmly grabbed Jin Ran's hand, with a friendly smile on his face, and said, "It's great that you're here. Now our Luo'er has a companion. Go and play with Luo'er more often when you have time in the future!"

Jin Ran was startled by Yu Nuo's sudden action and felt a little confused. But she reacted quickly, immediately showing a sweet smile and responded: "I will, ma'am. I am also very happy to meet you and Luo Er."

This warm feeling reminded Jin Ran of her mother. Although she had not felt such love for a long time, at this moment, she found a familiar warmth in Yu Nuo.

At this moment, Chu Heng and Yan Luo also slowly walked over from a distance.

Chu Heng glanced at Hill standing beside him and couldn't help but teasing, "I was wondering why you guys disappeared without a trace, it turns out you went to play with the Shura Clan!"

When Hill heard Chu Heng's words, he just smiled foolishly and didn't respond.

Ling Han raised his eyebrows, put on an innocent expression, and explained: "I only discovered it after I arrived at the Shura Clan. I really didn't know it before."

"Isn't this the disciple of the Ancient God, Jin Ran?" Yan Luo's eyes were sharp and she recognized Jin Ran immediately. She then turned to look at everyone and asked curiously, "You all look familiar?"

"We all followed our masters to the Ancient God's Temple to have meals, so naturally we know each other," Chu Heng explained.

"Oh." Yan Luo suddenly realized and nodded.

"Jin Ran, this is Yan Luo, Yan Ge's sister and Ling Han's cousin." Hill introduced her to Jin Ran enthusiastically.

"Miss Yan is so sweet and charming, she must be a girl with a gentle personality." Jin Ran said softly, as if her mood had become much happier since she stepped into this place.

"Yan Luo is indeed very gentle on weekdays, but when she was fighting with Yuan Hao that day, her ruthlessness was exactly the same as yours." Hill joked with a smile.

"Fight? What kind of fight?" Yu Nuo asked in astonishment.

At this moment, everyone felt extremely embarrassed and no one dared to respond.

Hill also realized that he had spoken too quickly and said the wrong thing, so he immediately shut up.

The atmosphere suddenly fell into an unbearable silence, and no one took the initiative to speak.

At this dull moment, Chu Heng stepped forward and said sincerely: "Madam, everything is Chu Heng's fault. Yan Luo fought with Yuan Hao only out of protection for me."

"Who told him to say Chu Heng was dead?" Yan Luo looked aggrieved, with a trace of sadness in his eyes.

"And then you hit him?" Jin Ran looked at Yan Luo in surprise. She couldn't imagine that Yan Luo, who looked gentle and kind, would hit someone. Yan Luo didn't look like the kind of impulsive and violent person.

"No." Yan Luo shook his head gently. "It was his sister who was so angry that she fought with him. But he seemed to know his sister very well. He always knew her moves in advance and was rude to her. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I said I wanted to have a fight with him."

"You!" Yu Nuo used his index finger to push Yan Luo's forehead lovingly, his eyes full of worry, and asked, "Are you not hurt?"

Yan Luo shook his head and leaned against Yu Nuo like a well-behaved kitten.

"Don't worry, mother!" At this time, Yan Ge came over, held Yu Nuo's shoulders from behind with both hands, and said confidently: "He is no match for my sister. My sister is very skilled. She beat that guy so hard that the flesh on his body almost fell off. If Chu Heng hadn't suddenly appeared and blocked it for him, I guess he would have been lying in bed unable to get up, and would have to lie there for at least a few months."

"So cruel?" Yu Nuo widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

"Of course." Yan Ge said softly, and the hands that were originally on Yu Nuo's shoulders couldn't help but exert a little force and began to gently massage her shoulders.

"Okay, you must be careful when you go out to play this time. No matter where you go, don't act alone." Yu Nuo instructed softly, his eyes full of reluctance.

"Mother, don't worry!" Yan Luo smiled coquettishly, then leaned gently on Yu Nuo's shoulder, with a happy and satisfied smile on her little face.

Jin Ran quietly gazed at the heartwarming scene in front of her, and her mother's figure involuntarily appeared in her mind.

She used to be like she is now, sticking to her mother all day, leaning tightly on her mother's warm shoulders, and unwilling to leave for a long time.
