Lu Xiong roared angrily with all his might: "What kind of court, what kind of fairness and justice, it's not a few of you who have the final say. Why should the assassins die, your Xia Empire is the evil force, and you are the one who should perish the most!"

"Quick! Shut his mouth!" the presiding judge hurriedly ordered.

The guards were about to step forward when a loud shout rang out throughout the courtroom.

"Lu Xiong!" It was Chen Ran who shouted this name, he had already stood up, and no matter how Mi Cai pulled it, he couldn't hold it.

Everyone's eyes looked at Chen Ran, and Lu Xiong also turned his head with difficulty: "It's the one who defeated me, you assassin who is in the same league as the hypocritical villain, you are not worthy to talk to me!"

"Lu Xiong, have you really forgotten who I am?You know my name, why don't you want to associate me with that person!" Chen Ran roared.

When the presiding judge saw someone talking to the criminal without permission, he was supposed to stop it, but Fan Wen had already stood up from his position, stood in front of the trial table and shook his head, signaling them not to stop him.

Lu Xiong's eyes widened angrily and said, "You can't be him, he is already dead!"

"Huh. Chen Ran sneered, "I'm the skinny boy who was almost killed by you, don't you think that the ability I used is a bit similar to the so-called chicken rib ability?"

Lu Xiong kept shaking his head, and the power released by Chen Ran, and the color changed by the color-changing ability, seemed to be black. In fact, Chen Ran himself admitted it, but Lu Xiong was still deceiving himself, and he didn't want to believe that person could defeat him.

"No, you're not him, you're not him......" Lu Xiong kept muttering to himself.

Chen Ran continued: "We were born in the same city-state, and we were selected by the alliance at the same time, and we were trained together, I really don't understand, why do you have to target me everywhere, and you want to kill me?"

In fact, the memory of the dead Chen Ran is very vague, so the current Chen Ran has always wondered about Lu Xiong's hostility. In memory, Chen Ran in this world is a submissive and not good fighter, so he shouldn't offend anyone.

But after hearing Chen Ran's words, Lu Xiong struggled like crazy, trying to break free from the restraints on his body. But he couldn't use his abilities, so he screamed in despair, "I'm going to kill you!"

"Take him down!" the presiding judge ordered.

The guards took out a few sharp needles and inserted them directly into Lu Xiong's body, and Lu Xiong quieted down before being taken away by the guards.

The presiding judge looked at Fan Wen and pointed at Chen Ran: "Professor Fan, he ...... He's also a thorn ......."

"It's okay, he's my student. Fan Wen laughed.

The presiding judge nodded, and then struck the gavel and said highly: "I declare the trial over!"

Many people who were watching pointed at Chen Ran, and Mi Cai hurriedly pulled Chen Ran out of the courtroom.

Walking on the road, Mi Cai kept nagging: "If you don't speak, how can you talk to the criminal in the courtroom." ”

"I've already talked to the criminal, what can I do now?" Chen Ran said with an innocent expression.

"It's good that Professor Fan is here, otherwise you would have gone to jail. Now that you've revealed your identity to Lu Xiong, your wish should always come true, right?"

Chen Ran shook his head and said, "He didn't answer my question. You have psychic abilities, did you just see what he really thinks?"

Mi Cai said helplessly: "He is bound by the Stygian Meteor Chain, which is very special and can cut off any power, including abilities and fighting energy. So Lu Xiong can't use his abilities, and my psychic abilities can't penetrate the past. ”

"There's such a thing as Stygian Iron, but I didn't hear of it when I was in the League of Assassins. ”

Mi Cai smiled: "There are no absolutes in the world, and the Stygian Iron has a special function, but it is not the hardest substance, so it can be cut off by some weapons." Of course, there are also some very powerful people who can directly burst their power to shatter the Stygian Meteorite, but there are not many such people. ”

The two returned to the academy, but Chen Ran was still full of entanglement.

Fan Wen also came back soon, he didn't blame him when he saw Chen, but asked Mi Cai first, and then said to Chen Ran: "He has been imprisoned in the Abyss Prison, maybe he will be dead in the next second, so don't think about him, let the past pass." When I had just come out of the court, I received an invitation from the City Lord's Mansion, and they asked me to pass it on to you. ”

Fan Wen threw an exquisite invitation to Chen Ran: "It's up to you whether you go or not, but it's not bad to participate in some activities once in a while, don't immerse yourself in cultivation all day." "After that, I went to the research room.

Chen Ran opened the invitation card and saw that the signature on it was the City Lord's Mansion, saying that Chen Ran was invited to a banquet tomorrow night. It was nominally a commendation banquet, because it was Chen Ran who defeated the blue-robed assassin Lu Xiong. But the real purpose of the City Lord's Mansion is definitely not that simple, even if you want to be commended, just take the bounty directly, why bother to hold a banquet?

Because of Fan Wen's relationship, the City Lord's Mansion will definitely not harm Chen Ran, so there is only one possibility, they want to recruit Chen Ran. Qiu Yunshan's experience allowed Chen Ran's reputation to expand beyond the academy.

Mi Cai asked with concern, "Are you going?"

"I don't want to see Fu Yun. Chen Ran refused in a different way.

Mi Cai was very supportive of his decision: "It's best not to go, the city lord's mansion is not a good person, you should be less involved." ”

"Sister Cai, it seems that in your opinion, there are not many good people in the world. Chen Ran quipped.

Qi Cai glared at him fiercely: "Aren't you and Professor Fan good people?" I'm too lazy to tell you, your injuries are just right, so let's rest more." ”

Just then, there was a knock on the door outside.

As soon as Mi Cai opened the door, Xu Lai walked in happily.

"You saw Professor Fan enter the research room next door, that's why you dared to come here. Mi Cai quipped.

Xu Lai smiled awkwardly, he simply came straight to Chen Ran, and bluntly expressed his intentions: "Chen Ran, I invited you to my house for the New Year last time, but you were delayed." Although the New Year has passed, you are still on annual leave, and your injuries are almost healed, so you can always go to my house and sit, right?"

Mi Cai walked over and raised the bar reluctantly: "Why are you so persistent in inviting Chen Ran to your house?"

Xu Lai scratched his head: "Actually...... This time, my father asked me to come over, saying that he would invite you to a banquet tomorrow night. If I don't get you, I'll be scolded. ”

Mi Cai, who had always been worried, immediately refused: "Chen Ran will not go anywhere." ”

"I'll go. Chen Ran smiled inappropriately.

"Really?" Xu Lai glanced at Qi Cai deliberately.

"I said I would go, and I wouldn't break my promise. Chen Ran replied affirmatively.

Xu Lai left happily, leaving Mi Cai and Chen Ran staring wide-eyed.

Xu came here just now, so it's inconvenient to talk about it. Now that the people are gone, Mi Cai said worriedly: "You haven't forgotten what I said about the head of the Xu family, have you?"

"I haven't forgotten, you said that the Xu family wants to compete for the position of the next city lord. ”

"It's good that you haven't forgotten it, the election time of the city lord is next year's New Year. Now that there is only a short year, the Xu family will definitely take action. The City Lord's Mansion just invited you, and the Xu family invited you at the same time, obviously wanting you to make a choice, why should you get involved?"

Chen Ran said seriously: "Between the City Lord's Mansion and the Shunfeng Chamber of Commerce, of course I choose the Shunfeng Chamber of Commerce. ”

"But you don't have to make that choice!" said Micai, anxious and angry.

Chen Ran smiled: "Didn't Professor Fan say, let me participate in more activities, so I will go to Xu's house tomorrow to sit, and I won't lack arms and legs, so don't worry." ”

Mi Cai shook her head helplessly: "It's really hard to guess what you think, forget it, I'll accompany you tomorrow." ”

Chen Ran's thoughts were not so complicated, he just wanted to go to the Xu family to have a look, and meet Xu Lai's father, to see what the person who wanted to compete for the position of city lord looked like. As for other things, Chen Ran didn't want to and wouldn't get involved.

Deciding to go to the banquet, Mi Cai suddenly got busy. She dragged Chen Ran to the street, saying that she had to pick a better dress. Speaking of which, Chen Ran usually wears loose fighting robes, and there is really no dress or anything.

However, when she accompanied Mi Cai to the street, she had just picked out a few clothes for Chen Ran, and she began to pick out her own things.

Mi Cai was very happy, this was the first time someone had accompanied her shopping, but Chen Ran was bored watching her change her various clothes, and finally returned to the academy with a large bag of things.

Chen Ran didn't pay a penny, and Mi Cai hurriedly paid the money. She studied at the scientific research institute, not only with scholarships, but also with a considerable amount of scientific research grants, so she still has a lot of family resources. On the contrary, Chen Ran generally doesn't bring money, and he hasn't touched the wealth left by Yan Sen at the beginning.

In the evening of the next day, Mi Cai changed into a dress, which was noble and elegant, and Chen Ran was stunned.

There are no suits in this world, and Chen Ran wears a Han dress like a previous life, a white seat, which sets off the handsomeness.

Seeing that Chen Ran had been staring at her, Mi Cai immediately blushed, lowered her head and said, "You...... Don't get me wrong, I just treat you as a younger brother, and I don't worry about your safety. ”

Chen Ran said half-jokingly: "If you don't treat me as a younger brother, what else can you treat me as?"

"Let's go, you!" Qi Cai blushed and pushed Chen Ran.

After getting along with Mi Cai for so long, Chen Ran also felt some special feelings. However, he still wanted to carry on the legacy of his dead brother and revive the Assassin League, but the future was unknown, and he was unwilling to consider some irrelevant matters.

When the two of them left the academy, there was already the carriage of the Xu family waiting, and Xu Lai also came, which shows that the Xu family is full of sincerity.

The carriage was moving, and Xu Lai opened the window and introduced: "This piece of the east of the city belongs to our SF Chamber of Commerce, and our Chamber of Commerce operates all kinds of commerce, and everything with a tailwind sign is owned by our Chamber of Commerce." A little further past is our Xu family's mansion, in the Dark Cloud City, except for the city lord's mansion that is larger than my family, the mansions of other nobles are definitely not comparable to my family......"
