As a lord, I was forced to farm

Chapter 685: Recruiting Talents (3)

"If you want me to join Suling County, Jiang Bole, who is the most beautiful person in Cangmiao Continent, must defeat me first."

Under everyone's gaze, Zhang Wenfeng finally moved. With a sharp gaze, she pointed at Jiang Ran, or to be more precise, at Jiang Ran's finger, "But if you lose, you have to give me the ring on your hand."

Everyone's eyes followed Zhang Wenfeng's hand, and they saw an exquisite ice-blue ring shining brightly between her white and slender fingers.

Lin Sha frowned, stood up and looked at Zhang Wenfeng unkindly.

It turned out to be waiting here.

Jiang Ran turned the Miao Yueshuang bow ring on the index finger of her left hand, leaned her upper body back, looked very relaxed, raised her eyebrows, and looked at Zhang Wenfeng with a look of complete contempt.

"You're not worth it."

Everyone suddenly felt that the cold, powerful and arrogant Jiang Bole had returned.

Zhang Wenfeng was stunned for a moment, as if a dull bell rang in his mind, making him dizzy. The archer, who was always surrounded and praised by others, took half a minute to understand the meaning of Jiang Ran's words "You are not worth it."

Her face flushed red, and anger burst out from Zhang Wenfeng's brown-gold eyes, "You, what did you say!"

"Isn't it? Who here is not more useful than you?" Jiang Ran raised her eyes lazily, stood up, and walked slowly down. "Master Qiu Xiang is good at refining elixirs to remove poisons and cure diseases. He can bring people back to life and save lives in our city."

"Alchemist Li Peilian is well versed in beast culture and has a good way of taming beasts. She can cultivate a group of excellent beast tamers in our city."

"Yan Tao, the demon spirit master, is quite ambitious and knowledgeable. He can ensure that our city's land is rich..."

These compliments made Yan Tao's expression change slightly.

"Why, being ambitious is not a bad thing." Jiang Ran seemed to have noticed the change in Yan Tao. She walked past him, glanced at him, and spoke in a slow and steady voice. There was a constant calmness, a little prickly but very gentle, like a stream thawing in spring after winter. "I admire ambitious people."

This voice might have some magical power. Yan Tao's heart, which had just been lifted, finally settled down after hearing this.

Jiang Ran looked at Zhang Wenfeng, raised her chin slightly, and continued, "Even Cheng, Wen, Li and others who are not as good as you in cultivation, they all have their own advantages, in terms of creativity, mentality, character... and even age..."

Jiang Ran narrowed her eyes slightly, and said jokingly, "...are far better than you."

Jiang Ran read out the names of all the twenty or so people present. Everyone whose name was called and praised blushed, thinking that they were so powerful in Jiang Ran's heart that their status was even more important than the famous Sea of ​​Consciousness Archer.

Every time Jiang Ran read out a name, Zhang Wenfeng would be "compared and belittled", and the latter's face became more and more ugly.

Zhang Wenfeng became famous quite early and had a high opinion of himself. This was the first time he was looked down upon and attacked. His hand tightened around the bow and he almost crushed the golden bow made of Tianxuan Iron. "Don't talk nonsense. Could it be that the famous Jiang Bole would back down like this in the face of my challenge?"

"You can't beat me again." A calm voice suddenly came from behind. Zhang Wenfeng's shoulders seemed to carry thousands of pounds, and her knees almost bent.

When Zhang Wenfeng realized what was happening, his pupils shrank and sweat broke out on his forehead.

I don't know when Jiang Ran came behind her, put one hand gently on her neck, and gently stroked the blood vessels on her neck with his slightly cold nails.

Zhang Wenfeng got goose bumps all over her body. "When?"

Not only Zhang Wenfeng, but everyone else was also shocked.

As the center, Jiang Ran has always been the focus of attention, but just now no one knew how she got behind Zhang Wenfeng.

In fact, Jiang Ran did not use any space-related spells, but instead applied a heavenly-level footwork. Her physical fitness far exceeded that of ordinary Sea of ​​Consciousness cultivators. She also specifically asked Qi Yu, who was known for his speed, for advice. It was normal that these people could not see through her.

Of course, Zhang Wenfeng was not as bad as Jiang Ran said. After all, he was an archer who was highly praised by Yun Shang. It was just that this man was too aggressive. If he was not struck, this aggressiveness would hurt the owner of the arrow.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost set, Jiang Ran withdrew his hand and said lightly, "You still don't seem to give up? Well, considering that I'm in a good mood, I'll play with you today. Tell me, what do you want to compete in?"

Zhang Wenfeng came back to his senses from Jiang Ran's unexpected strength, took a deep breath, tightly grasped the longbow, and stretched it in front of Jiang Ran, "Let's compete in archery!"

As soon as Zhang Wenfeng finished speaking, the other people looked at her with some subtle expressions.

Everyone knows that Zhang Wenfeng is an excellent archer and has never missed a target. She and Jiang Ran are both in the Sea of ​​Consciousness Realm, but instead of fighting in the ring, she chose to use her strongest point to compete with the latter. To put it bluntly, it is very dishonorable.

Zhang Wenfeng naturally understood what the other people's eyes meant, but she knew that if she used ordinary means, there was no way she could defeat Jiang Ran.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran laughed out loud, making Zhang Wenfeng's ears red.

Just when I thought Jiang Ran would not agree to the competition, I heard her say, "Okay, but I will decide how to compete."

Zhang Wenfeng breathed a sigh of relief, and then said generously, "Okay."

Jiang Ran smiled slightly and patted, "Lian Xiang, please ask Nan Cheng and Weng Qing to come out."

Lian Xiang bowed: "Yes."

Zhang Wenfeng heard the familiar name and was horrified. "Weng Qing! What did you do to my son?"

A smile flashed across Lin Sha's elegant and handsome face, and he stepped forward to comfort him, "Master Zhang, don't be nervous. We didn't do anything excessive to your son. It's just that I happened to meet your son on the road today, so I invited him to come and taste the wine and food in my Qushui Tower."

As they were talking, Jiang Nancheng appeared at the door. Everyone saw that the young man walking in front was extremely handsome, and his appearance was 50% similar to the peerless Jiang Bole.

Half a step behind him, a young man in blue who was about the same age as him, touched his bulging belly and excitedly poked his head out, saying to Jiang Nancheng, "Brother Nancheng, what does your sister want us for? The soft bread just now was delicious. Can we go back and eat more later?"

The two young men seemed to have a pretty good relationship. Jiang Nancheng smiled and said, "Of course, I'll give you as much as you want."

Zhang Wenfeng glanced at Weng Qing and was relieved after confirming that he was not injured. She looked at Jiang Ran with a cold look in her eyes, "What are you going to do?"

Jiang Ran said, "What do you mean we should do something? If Zhang the Archer hadn't proposed a contest, Weng Qing would have just had a full meal and gone back. But since you said a contest, the normal way of playing isn't interesting enough."

"Nancheng is my closest relative, and Wengqing is your son. You know how important they are to us, I don't need to tell you."

"You are a master archer who never misses. You must be tired of ordinary targets. In this game, why don't we use our most important person as the target?" Jiang Ran looked at Zhang Wenfeng who was stunned and raised her eyebrows. "How about it?"
