After An Ran finished breakfast in the Laiyin Pavilion, he set off for Chu Mansion.

When she arrived at the door of the Chu Mansion, An Ran didn't go in immediately, she raised her eyes and looked at it, thinking that the scene when she worshipped Chu Kang as her teacher and was rejected from the door seemed to be something that happened yesterday, and it had been so long in a flash.

"Miss, it's windy today, and your body is just not long, so let's go in first. Ping'er said in a low voice, she heard Qiu Xin say that the eldest lady was infected with wind chill not long ago, and it was a little cold today, and the wind was very strong, so don't suffer from the cold.

An Ran bowed slightly, and then walked up, the person guarding the door saw An Ran, the two looked at each other, a little surprised, "Miss An, why are you here?"

This eldest lady of the An family has disappeared for more than a year, and I heard that she only came back from Northern Chu yesterday, and she came back as an envoy of Northern Chu, and this matter spread almost all over Fengdu overnight.

It is also said that His Majesty specially hosted a banquet for her last night as a guest. I didn't expect to see her today, and the guards were surprised.

"Is my master here?" An Ran asked directly.

"Here, the master is in Fengyuan. "They don't dare to slack off on this eldest lady, who doesn't know that Chu Kang accepted her as an apprentice, and he attaches great importance to and loves this apprentice.

"I'll just go in by myself. With that, An Ran took Xing'er and went in by herself.

The guards were very respectful and polite, "Miss, please come in." ”

When he came to Fengyuan, An Ran saw Chu Kang sitting alone on a stone chair in the courtyard, with a chessboard on the stone table, and he was playing alone.

An Ran didn't need to follow Xing'er, she walked over quietly, Chu Kang was immersed in the chess game, and didn't notice that An Ran was coming over.

An Ran looked at the game of chess, she didn't make a sound, just watched quietly, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth.

Chu Kang finally found someone beside him, but he thought it was a maid who was serving tea and water, so he didn't look up, but just said, "Go down first, I don't need to serve here." ”

Seeing that the man hadn't left yet, Chu Kang frowned slightly, his face was a little unhappy, and finally raised his eyes to look at the past, and when he saw An Ran, he had a surprised expression.

"Ah Ran, how could it be you?" Chu Kang stood up, was he dazzled, was this really Ah Ran in front of him?

For more than a year, she didn't have any news, Chu Kang only knew that she was outside Northern Chu, and nothing else was clear.

In fact, he didn't want to ask Lin Yin or send someone to inquire himself, but in this way, he was afraid that An Ran's identity would be exposed, but it would harm her.

So for more than a year, Chu Kang has not inquired about An Ran's news, but often goes to An Mansion to sit and drink tea, from the conversation between An Jin and Lin Yin, he knows that An Ran is safe and sound, and that is enough.

Unexpectedly, now that he saw her, Chu Kang's mood was extremely excited.

"Master, I haven't seen you for more than a year, do you miss Ah Ran?" An Ran said with a slight smile.

"This one is natural. Come on, stop standing, sit down and talk. Chu Kang said excitedly.

After An Ran sat down, he looked at the chessboard on the table, "Master, what's the fun of playing alone? Why don't you accompany Master to the next game first?"

She hasn't played against each other for a long time, and for more than a year in Beichu, she has been busy almost every day with winning the brand, and she has no time to play this.

"That's great, I haven't found an opponent for a long time, don't say anything, let's finish this endgame first. ”

The master and apprentice didn't say anything and began to play against each other.

After the first game, the winner was one point, and Chu Kang won half of An Ran.

"I haven't seen him for a year, and Ah Ran's chess skills have not regressed at all, but have become more exquisite. Chu Kang praised without hesitation.

An Ran smiled, "It's all Master who let Ah Ran go." ”

"Ah Ran, why should you be modest, what your strength is, as a teacher, you naturally know. Chu Kang waved his hand, then got up, "Let's go in first, make a pot of tea for the teacher and taste tea with Ah Ran." ”

When he came to the house, Chu Kang was making tea, and An Ran was sitting opposite him, "When did Ah Ran come back?"

"I returned at noon yesterday, and I didn't come to see Master at the first time, so I ask Master for your forgiveness. ”

"Do you and my master and apprentice still need to be so polite?" Chu Kang poured a cup of tea for An Ran.

"Master Xie. An Ran picked up the tea, first smelled the fragrance, and then took a sip, "The tea made by Master is still so delicious." ”

Chu Kang chuckled, "Compared to your mother's, how is it?"

Hearing this, An Ran thought about it sideways, and responded playfully: "Then the master still has to ask my mother for advice." ”

Chu Kang laughed, "Okay, this is Ah Ran." ”

Seeing the smile on Chu Kang's face, An Ran's heart couldn't help but feel happy.

After the joking words were finished, An Ran suddenly looked at Chu Kang with a serious face, his eyes were guilty and grateful, "Master......"

Before An Ran's words could continue, he was interrupted by Chu Kang, "I know what Ah Ran wants to say, but I don't need it, I really don't need to." ”

An Ran shook his head, "Master, you listen to Ah Ran finish his words first, these words, as early as a year ago, An Ran should have told you."

At the beginning, Ah Ran was put in prison by Emperor Sheng for Ye Lang, and later I learned that the reason why I was released was because my father and master used the military power in their hands to summon it, and my father told Ah Ran that the biggest sacrifice is Master, in order to preserve the strength of the An family, you did not hesitate to exchange most of your military power in exchange, which was exchanged for An Ran's life.

Master's kindness to Ah Ran, in this life, Ah Ran has nothing to repay. For more than a year, I have been telling myself all the time that when I return to Dasheng, I will do my best to repay you. ”

In the end, An Ran's voice was a little choked, if it weren't for Chu Kang, how could she live to this day.

An Ran got up, then knelt down in front of Chu Kang and kowtowed to him.

"Hurry up. Chu Kang helped An Ran up, just now he listened to An Ran's words silently, to be honest, he also felt a lot in his heart.

An Ran got up and sat down, Chu Kang looked at her, met her phoenix eyes, and said lightly: "Ah Ran, you don't need to feel guilty, I am not the only one who saved you at the beginning, there are also many people in Fengdu City, your father, the medical saint, the Tang Sect, the Fengxian Residence, etc., many people have done their best for you, if you are really grateful, then live well, don't live up to our love for you." ”

An Ran nodded, "Ah Ran understands. ”

Yes, there are so many people she has to be grateful for, and the only thing she can repay them is to live well.

"It's good that Ah Ran understands. Chu Kang smiled with relief, then thought of something and asked, "Then Nan Lingye didn't come back with you?"
