Chapter 3: Encounter Again

It was March 1987, Xiao Ruo's belly was already slightly bulging, and she was now strolling along the shore of Lake Ney, enjoying the warm spring breeze and the warm sunshine at noon.

Xiao Ruo, who has a lot of money, just arrived in England and bought an English-style manor by Lake Ney. She really likes this kind of English idyllic scenery, which makes her mood very relaxed.

Most of the servants in the manor were hired nearby, and there were several high-paid family doctors, of course, they were all inspected by "real induction", Xiao Ruo was very relieved.

Xiao Ruo now appears with her true face, she doesn't want to be dangling around with a face that is not her all the time, the population density here is not large, and the folk customs are relatively simple, and she is not afraid of what will happen. It's the English countryside, and she's not afraid to be recognized.

The gentle spring breeze shook the water, and under the sunlight, the sparkling lake flashed with dazzling golden light, Xiao Ruo's eyes narrowed slightly, and she began to empty her mind, ready to enjoy the early spring afternoon in a foreign country.

A sound of footsteps interrupted Xiao Ruo's enjoyment, she frowned slightly, looked in the direction of the footsteps, and frowned even deeper after seeing the person who came.

The person who came turned out to be an old woman Xiao Ruo met in the secret realm, followed by an old woman who was about the same age as the old woman. Seeing Xiao Ruo twisting her body, she was about to apologize, after all, she had disturbed others. But when she saw Xiao Ruo's face, she was a little stunned, and a look of reminiscence slowly appeared on her face.

Xiao Ruo raised her eyebrows, looking at the person she met for the second time in some surprise, not wanting to say more to her. She had now learned about the type of ability of this person, and she had found a way to deal with it, and she believed that with the strength of her mental power, the old woman would not have been able to see her true appearance last time. Now she was who she was, and she didn't risk being recognized, but she didn't want to deal with this old woman who she knew was troublesome, so she turned around and prepared to go home.

"Excuse me, this Xiu, I wonder if I can know your last name?" The old woman came back to her senses, looked at Xiao Ruo with some eagerness, and asked with some expectation.

"My surname is Chen." Xiao Ruo frowned and replied. She now gives herself the name of Rachel Chen, following the surname of her father Chen Chuan, Rachel is purely for convenience, and she can just give her English name Rachel.

"Really? I'm sorry to bother. The old woman looked disappointed, but returned to the graceful and luxurious posture that Xiao Ruo had just seen. It's just that she still seems to be a little unwilling, she looked at Xiao Ruo carefully, and suddenly showed the same smile as when she saw Xiao Ruo for the first time, and said, "It turned out to be a little girl, we met again."

Xiao Ruo was taken aback, she didn't expect to be recognized, she was vigilant again, took a step back, pressed her mental power, and asked, "How did you recognize me?" She had to ask clearly that this unstable factor could not be allowed to persist forever.

The old woman chuckled lightly, and there was a faint sense of amusement in it: "Oh, it turns out that it's really you, the little girl is really beautiful, just like an angel."

Xiao Ruo really wanted to jump into the lake and die, or else, she would be stupid. Knowing that she wouldn't see her true face clearly at that time, she admitted it with a simple bluff. Not wanting to see the old woman laughing so happily, she snorted coldly: "It is worthy of being a member of the Langton family, admire and admire."

The old woman, now Mrs. Langton, stopped laughing, looked at Xiao Ruo and sighed, and said, "It's really not a simple little girl. Can I ask, is your surname really Chen, isn't your surname Xiao?"

Xiao Ruo was really surprised at this time, she didn't see that the Langton family would do divination in the Chaos Bead, could it be that this Mrs. Langton was involved with the Vincent family?

Not wanting to give Mrs. Langton a chance to entangle, Xiao Ruo shook his head and denied: "My father's surname is Chen, why should I be surnamed Xiao?"

Xiao Ruo knew that the Langton family's "true induction" was very powerful, even if her strength was stronger than her, but after all, this was their family's family heirloom ability, and she might be able to sense it, so she said a big "truth".

Xiao Ruo's answer made Mrs. Langton smile wryly, she was just holding on to a glimmer of hope, for so many years, that person had never contacted her, it was estimated that he was already full of children and grandchildren. It's just her, that stupid English girl, who has waited from a teenage girl alone to now, fifty years, right? She should have given up a long time ago, didn't she?

Mrs. Langton was experienced after all and recovered quickly. Although this little girl may really have little to do with that person, but from between her eyebrows, Mrs. Langton can see the shadow of the handsome young man back then, as if ah. Loving the house and Wuxia, Mrs. Langton has a great affection for Xiao Ruo.

With a smile on her face again, Mrs. Langton made her own little calculations. I can't see that person, but it's nice to have such a little girl around.

"Oh, little girl, I don't know your name yet, it's rude. Can I be lucky enough to know the name of the beautiful show?" Mrs. Langton's manners were impeccable.

"You can call me rachel." Adhering to the guiding ideology of saying more and making more mistakes, Xiao Ruo replied simply.

Hearing such a simple answer, Mrs. Langton duly showed a hurt look, and said in an aria voice, "Oh, what an indifferent little girl. Dear rachel, I thought we were friends. ”

Xiao Ruo's face was disgusted, she really didn't want to deal with this Mrs. Langton, her reaction became more and more cold, and her voice also revealed a sense of rejection thousands of miles away:

"If I'm not mistaken, this is the second time we've met, Mrs. Langton. And, if I don't feel wrong, there's something clearly wrong with what you're saying, and I don't think I can be friends with someone who thinks I'm not honest. By the way, please put away that way of talking, that just makes me irritated. ”

Mrs. Langton was not in the slightest, and still smiled, but her tone became normal.

"My dear rachel, I confess to hiding something from you, but can you really bear to stir up the sadness in the heart of an old man? I don't mean anything, can't you sense it?"

Xiao Ruo was stunned for a moment, she did use "real induction" to feel that Mrs. Langton had no malicious intentions, but she still didn't want to have too much entanglement with her. She felt that Mrs. Langton was terrible, and she always made herself feel **naked in front of her.

"Don't be nervous, dear. Since you know who I am, you naturally know that 'true sensing' is the special ability of our family. I know its mental fluctuations best, although my strength is not as good as yours, I am still very familiar with the family's abilities. And, if I'm not mistaken, you have an ability to 'learn', do you? This ability is rare. It's a genius that you can learn 'True Sensing' so quickly so well. ”

Mrs. Langton's words made Xiao Ruo a little embarrassed, after all, using other people's abilities on others was still felt, and there was a feeling of being discovered. But Mrs. Langton's sincere words made her relax. And I also got a lot of information from it, and it seems that this ability to "learn" in the future is a good cover.

"I'm sorry, madam, I have no intention of stealing your abilities, please forgive me, I won't use it in the future." Xiao Ruo is also single, although it is a pity that such a useful ability cannot be used. But, hmph, I don't know if she has a cheat, it's good to go back and let the Chaos Bead deduce an ability that has a similar function, for an insecure person like her, this ability really can't be lost.

"Nonono, that's not what I meant. I don't mind if you use it, just don't use it so obviously in the future, I know it's easy to do it without being noticed with your strength. Mrs. Langton winked at Xiao Ruo, looking a little playful, "Of course, in the future, try to hide your 'learning' ability, it will be very bad for you to let people know." You know, there are always a lot of violent people now, especially driven by interests. Do you understand what I'm saying?" Mrs. Langton said at the end, looking much more serious.

Xiao Ruo was still very grateful for Mrs. Langton's kindness, after all, she was really not good at dealing with people. The human mind has always been difficult to guess, and even more so for people on the Azure Star. Although Xiao Ruo is very proficient in psychology-related things, it is all on paper, and when it comes to practice, she is blind.

Just like this time, she just thought that the ability of "really induction" is easy to use, and if she finds a useful ability in the future, she can learn it well, she never thought about how shocking this kind of thing is for the dark forces of this world if she is proficient in multiple special abilities, or some family-specific abilities, and it is estimated that it will not be much worse than exposing the Chaos Bead when she was in the fairy world. At that time, it is estimated that not only will their secrets be exposed, but their relatives will also suffer even more terrible encounters than they did in their first life.

Thinking about the joints, Xiao Ruo couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. She said gratefully to Mrs. Langton, "Thank you, ma'am. Not your reminder, I almost made a big mistake, if you don't mind, can I be your friend?"

Although he did not dispel his vigilance against Mrs. Langton, Xiao Ruo did not reject such a so-called "friend". The Langton family has a very high status in England, she herself has settled here, and she does not plan to move around in a short time, if she refuses Mrs. Langton's closeness, with the power of the Langton family, it is not difficult to find out her general situation. Looking at Mrs. Langton's posture, she seems to be very interested in herself, and putting her by her side also saves her from always having a pair of eyes secretly "paying attention" to herself. Besides, if she doesn't know anyone in England, Mrs. Langton would be a good "guide". The Langton family is also a member of the dark forces, and through Mrs. Langton, it also helps them to understand the dark forces.

It has to be said that practice really makes people progress.

Sure enough, hearing Xiao Ruo's words, Mrs. Langton was overjoyed and said, "God, I heard you right, right? I'd love to make you this friend, dear rachel. By the way, do you live around here?"

Xiao Ruo smiled slightly and replied: "Yes, madam, I live in Ens Manor now, but now it is called Chen's Manor, and you are welcome to come and visit."

"Oh my God, I can't believe it, is this what the Chinese say? Enns Manor? No, the manor next door to the Chan Manor is the property of the Langton family! We'll be neighbors from now on, my dear, thank you for the invitation, I'm so happy. "Mrs. Langton is very happy, it is rare to meet a child she likes, it seems that this time it is really the right time to rest here, this time I must stay longer.

Xiao Ruo was very surprised, but then relieved. At that time, she was interested in the manor next door, with a good scenery and a large area, but unfortunately the owner did not sell it. Now I know that it was the property of the Langton family, and it doesn't seem bad to be a neighbor with such a lady.

"I am honored to be your neighbor, ma'am. Please allow me to go back and instruct me to clean up my house and welcome you. I look forward to seeing you next time. Having said so much, Xiao Ruo was a pregnant woman after all, and her mood had experienced so many ups and downs, and she felt a little tired, so she said goodbye.

Mrs. Langton nodded, "Yes, dear rachel, I am also looking forward to the next meeting, I love Chinese food."

Xiao Ruo smiled: "Okay, when the time comes, I will cook it myself, and I will definitely satisfy you." Goodbye, ma'am. ”

"Goodbye." Mrs. Langton stepped forward, gave Xiao Ruo a hug, and smiled as Xiao Ruo left.
