Two days later, Gao Ran really succeeded in passing the most dangerous period as she said, and in terms of internal strength, she has now entered the ninth-level realm that belongs to the same level as her master and junior uncle. But it's just that the internal strength is not inferior to them. However, for her, it is enough to have this side. - enough for her to protect herself.

After she was convinced that she no longer needed the personal protection of others, Gao Ran let Qiu Yueze, who had not left her side, take the Tongxin Gu with "Seven", and then let "Seven" leave with Qiu Yueze. And she herself began to act alone - at least, on the surface. And secretly, now only she and Qiu Yueze know: Gao Xi is still following her closely in the dark.

When Gao Ran regained her female appearance and appeared at the gate of the Gao family alone, not only did the guards at the door not recognize her at all as she expected, but even Gao Qi, who heard the report from the next person, was very surprised by this. However, she still did not dare to hesitate and hurriedly ordered: "Please let her in." ”

After Gao Ran followed his subordinates to the main hall, after Gao Qi saw the comer, he hesitated for a moment before finally confirming that the comer was indeed Gao Ran himself.

"Little sister, I haven't seen you for many years, why don't you fix a book first when you come back, and I'm good to pick up the wind and wash the dust for you in time, eldest sister. ”

"The eldest sister is polite, the younger sister came back alone this time, so she didn't tell anyone for safety. Moreover, the eldest sister also knows that the only jade pendant that can prove the identity of the younger sister has long been taken away by the second son of Fu, and now, if you want to go home, you can only hope that you will come to the Gao family in person to meet the eldest sister or my father. In this way, the identity of the little sister can be confirmed. And in order to avoid more incidents and gossip, the little sister had to come in a low-key manner. I hope the eldest sister will forgive me. ”

Gao Ran made it clear directly without concealing the fact that now in the Gao family, it is estimated that the only people who can really recognize her are her father You Song and her eldest sister Gao Qi, who had a relationship with her in the Fu Mansion.

Although what she said was indeed the truth, saying it so bluntly still made Gao Qi not know how to respond for a while, and the atmosphere couldn't help but be a little awkward.

But Gao Ran took the opportunity to seize the initiative, which was equivalent to informing Gao Qi and just politely said to her: "Since the eldest sister has confirmed the identity of the little sister, can the little sister go back to her own courtyard to rest for a while?"

"Oh, of course. The little sister must have worked hard all the way, so let's go and rest first. When Mother returns, I'll send someone to call you. ”

"Okay, then there's Sister Lao. The little sister retreated first. ”

"Hmm. Gao Qi answered, and glanced at the subordinate who had previously led Gao Ran, and the person immediately took the initiative to walk in front of Gao Ran again to guide her and take her back to the small courtyard where only You Song lived alone.

"It's good that my father still lives, otherwise, I'm afraid this place will be overgrown with weeds and broken walls because of the people who belong to the people......"

On the way, Gao Ran couldn't help but laugh bitterly at himself. Although he hadn't seen the long-lost courtyard with his own eyes, Gao Ran still had a better idea of what it would look like now, and he couldn't help but be glad that at least because You Song was still living there, she wouldn't be able to see a decadent and abandoned courtyard because she didn't tell her head now.

Moreover, it was also because her sudden return had become a reality that she was able to understand more deeply because of her own personal experience - it turned out that she had been negligent in what should have been the most obvious fact: as the second lady of the Gao family, from the time she came to this other world, until she returned again after nearly seven years of absence, this Gao family's mansion, she had almost no impression of other places except for the small courtyard where she had stayed. Especially now that there is no Qiao'er to guide her closely, she feels that she is so unfamiliar with Gaofuyuan.

After Gao Qi saw Gao Ran walking away, she couldn't help frowning and thinking for a while, before slowly stretching her eyebrows again: although that side just now did make her vigilant against Gao Ran again after saying goodbye to Fu Fu many years ago, but after she thought about it carefully, she felt that she no longer needed to be as vigilant as before. Even if Gao Ran is capable, she has completely lost her qualification to succeed the head of the family, and she is naturally no longer a threat to her. In fact, now she should be more wary of Gao Yu than Gao Ran. - Especially the spies who she had planted by Gao Yu's side and went to the Fu Mansion with her recently reported that Gao Yu seemed to want to use the forces of both the Yun family and the Fu family to help her finally seize the position of the head of the Gao family. When she learned of this return, Gao Qi completely regarded Gao Yu as a thorn in her side that she was bound to get rid of as soon as possible.

However, compared to Gao Qi and You Song and Gao Lan, the head of the Gao family, who have not yet returned, there are obviously people who are more eager to see Gao Ran right now:

Gao Ran had only returned to his small courtyard for a short time, and a person dressed as a subordinate sent a letter and a jade pendant. As soon as she took the object, the man quickly stepped back. But Gao Ran sensed that this person's martial arts were not shallow—with her current ears, she even felt that his footsteps were almost inaudible! It can be seen that the depth of this person's skills is no less than hers.

After having a rough idea in his heart, Gao Ran deliberately wrote down the smell on this person's body, so that he could find his exact location immediately when needed in the future. - As long as he was within a radius of ten miles from her, she would be able to quickly identify his general location. And, the closer she is, the more specific and accurate the location she can identify. Finding him is only a matter of how fast she goes.

After secretly having a plan, Gao Ran silently opened the letter, unfolded it, and realized that it was an invitation from the fourth prince Yun Jie, inviting her to go to the only Yunge teahouse in the capital that can be compared to the Tiange Teahouse. And the jade pendant given to her is so that she can directly enter the private room for Yun Jie after she arrives at the teahouse.

Gao Ran didn't have to think about it to know that it must be Yun Jie's territory. However, she didn't bother to think about how he could not only build up such a conspicuous force of his own under the noses of Yun Huang and Yun Zhen, but also keep it safe and sound?—— in her opinion, if Yun Jie didn't even have the ability to balance Yun Huang and Yun Zhen, then he couldn't expect to completely break free from their control over him in the future. And if that's the case, then there's no need for her to keep her original agreement with him, so as not to add to the burden. After all, when she made an agreement with him, she had already spoken before - if the agreement between them was to be established, the premise must be that he could do his duty and never drag her down, otherwise, she would break the contract at any time, and never ask for trouble and burden herself.

Regardless of whether Yun Jie himself still remembers this premise, Gao Ran remembers it anyway. And for her, it was enough for her to remember. - At least so far, no one has dared to use the facts she remembers to blackmail her.

"It seems that Yun Jie has a lot of eyeliner in the Gao family, and he knew that I was back so quickly? If I'm not mistaken, Gao Qi probably doesn't know about this, right?"

Thinking like this, Gao Ran decided to leave from the main gate generously: first, because she was not familiar with the overall layout of the buildings in Gaofu, and secondly, she also wanted to take the opportunity to remind Gao Qi - although she left Gaofu in full view, it was not necessarily that Gao Qi's subordinates could really follow her.

Gao Ran thought that as long as she went through this incident, when she stayed in Gao Mansion in the future, presumably Gao Qi would not dare to trouble her easily. - At least until she finds out the bottom of her, Gao Qi should not dare to act rashly anymore.

However, the reason why Gao Ran was able to easily get rid of the subordinates sent by Gao Qi, who was following her, was not because she had suddenly practiced any supreme light skills since she had nine layers of internal strength, but because her current five senses could help her easily identify the general location of all the people she cared about within a radius of ten miles, and even the exact location - as long as the other party was within five miles of her. And since they were following her, the distance from her was naturally equivalent to revealing their exact location to her from the beginning.

In this way, it is easy for Gao Ran, who is in the "dark", to get rid of the tailgators who are actually in the "bright place".

Moreover, looking for the smell and her ears to automatically filter out the gossip she wanted to hear related to the target, from passers-by, and even from people in the target building, Gao Ran could quickly find the most convenient route and get to the destination as soon as possible. - It was because of this that he easily got rid of Amu and returned to the inn even one step ahead of him.

It can be said that Amu only came back by himself at that time, but Gao Ran was equivalent to relying on the mutual cooperation and assistance of many parties and her own multiple senses, and came back with the help of multiple forces. -- Compared with one's own efforts, the cooperation of a group with a very "tacit understanding" and can complement each other's strengths and weaknesses will obviously have the upper hand most of the time.

It's just that this is an advantage that only a Medicine Valley disciple like Gao Ran, who can cultivate to the ninth layer (or close to the ninth layer) of internal strength, can personally experience and can truly control it. Moreover, such an advantage is still incomprehensible to others, but it is another new means of almost "qualitative" difference from their own advantages from the beginning.

So in fact, even in Amu's opinion at that time, Gao Ran was stronger than him in terms of action and the speed of the return journey - which surprised and puzzled him, but in Gao Ran's opinion, this was actually normal: because they simply used means that were not on the same level, and the difference between them was not comparable.

Of course, judging from the results alone, it would indeed give Amu reason to suspect that Gao Ran might be martial, but in fact, it was just the result of the two of them using two completely different methods. - It's just that it is obvious that the methods used by Gao Ran will be much more efficient than Amu's.

But the premise of being able to use this method must be that she must first be able to control the irregular tentative attacks of the nearly ninth-level internal force on her own will, and only if she can never lose herself in the repeated temptations of this force, and truly get its respect and recognition, she may be able to control this power, and she may be able to use this power to improve her five senses ability almost "qualitatively". Otherwise, she will inevitably be swallowed up by this force, completely lost in this force, and finally completely manipulated and at its mercy.

But, just like - when Gao Ran was forced to accept the "messenger" to enter her body and live with her in the Medical Valley, if Zhao Feng hadn't helped her in time, I was afraid that she would have been lost in that power at that time, and she would have been dealt with by Zhao Feng in time according to the "convention" because of this, so as not to leave future troubles - if she still can't rely on her will to resist the temptation of the demon this time, she still can't live in harmony with the demon. If you respect each other and trust each other and don't show weakness to each other, then I'm afraid that when she is completely devoured by the demons, it will be the day when the secret poison in her body will attack.

Now Gao Ran already knows that the original purpose of the secret poison was not to punish the betrayer, but to prevent the disciple with almost nine-layer internal power from being completely manipulated by the demon in his life, which is the last line of defense that the disciples can never overcome. And when the secret poison attacks to the final stage, the only cause of death that can be detected - the meridians are broken, is the so-called "going crazy" in the eyes of others.

Whether Gao Ran wants it or not, she can't stop this kind of promotion and change, she can only accept it, and try to survive on her own strength in the process. But as for how much this change has allowed her to use a completely new method that is very different from that of the average master, how much it will help Gao Ran, and how much of a threat it will pose to her opponents, time will soon tell them......
