Versatile Mage: Lord of the Styx, but Lord of the Living

Chapter 284 Clearing Xin Xia's name, storming the Parthenon!

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Yu Shishi jogged back at that moment, her eyes sparkling like stars: "Is this where I'll be living from now on?"

This posture reminded Lu Ran of Lingling.

I wonder how Lingling is doing now.
"Can I come to the city often in the future?" Yu Shishi asked playfully.

Wake up.

Your dwelling is on the mountain to the north.

But Lu Ran changed his tune before he could finish speaking: "Yes, Feiniao City still needs your little Fei'e's help to maintain order."

Lu Ran briefly introduced Yu Shishi's special abilities to Qin Yu'er.

Qin Yu'er knew immediately that this little beauty was no ordinary person!
I originally thought it was just Lu Ran's girlfriend, but after hearing this, it seems that she can indeed be of great help to Asuka City.

For the rest of the time, Lu Ran followed Qin Yu'er, the city lord, around Flying Bird City, while Yu Shishi followed behind them, still looking as naive as ever.

Qin Yu'er had prepared a place for him to rest.

When Lu Ran arrived at his destination, he discovered that the house was already inhabited.

"Is this place occupied?"

"Yes, I'm living in this house now," Qin Yu'er said, her face flushed.

As a man, how could Lu Ran not understand the implication behind those words?

"Let's sleep together tonight."

Even Lu Ran himself blushed when he said it so bluntly, let alone Qin Yu'er.

But she didn't resist much; her face was hot, and she remained silent out of shyness.

Does silence mean agreement?
Lu Ran smiled slightly: "I have an appointment with someone, I'll be back later."

"Um"

On the other side, Xu Zhaoting had already invited his relatives and friends as Lu Ran had suggested, and was preparing for a big dinner party.

These people have one thing in common: they all experienced the Bloody Alert and are survivors!
Lu Ran also personally confronted the demons Mo Fan, Zhang Xiaohou, and others.

Quite a few others came as well. Xu Zhaoting has quite a bit of influence, as he actually managed to call Mu Bai, Zhou Min, and others.

“Councilor Lu’s family is so wealthy and powerful, I can’t believe that you were the one who created Feiniao City,” Zhou Min exclaimed in admiration.

"I don't deserve it, I'm just a heartless ATM, it's all Lord Qin's hard work," Lu Ran said modestly.

"Ran-ge, you don't need to act anymore. Without your name, those investors won't be so interested in Feiniao City," Zhao Manyan, who had come to join in the fun, laughed.

Lu Ran smiled and said nothing.

After the banquet, Lu Ran smiled and asked everyone if anyone wanted to stay in Feibiao City.

To be honest, seeing how well Xu Zhaoting was doing, many people had their own thoughts, but didn't know how to bring it up. Unexpectedly, Lu Ran brought it up on his own initiative.

Among them were Zhou Min and Mu Bai, whom Lu Ran knew well!
They both graduated from the ancient capital university and were outstanding graduates with high-level cultivation, but they have not yet found a suitable place to live.

However, Xu Zhaoting, who also graduated from Mingzhu Academy, found a good job in Feibiao City with excellent pay, which made them somewhat interested.

Lu Ran wasn't indiscriminate in accepting all comers; he still needed to investigate those who required investigation.

Moreover, Lu Ran knew Mu Bai's talent for cultivation and believed he wasn't the type to settle down and work for someone else.

He must have encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation, which is why he stopped to prepare some resources for cultivation. Maybe he'll just leave after breaking through.

Therefore, Lu Ran will still properly distinguish between temporary and long-term workers.

For the next period of time, Lu Ran would frequently check on and manage various matters, big and small, in Feiniao City, offering valuable advice or even making direct decisions, demonstrating a strong sense of belonging to Feiniao City as his home. During this time, Mu Nujiao, Mu Ningxue, and others would often come to visit him, and Leng Qing would sometimes bring Lingling along. Sometimes, their encounters would cause Lu Ran considerable headaches.

On this day, Lu Ran went to Qingtian Hunting Grounds to visit Old Man Bao, but received news that made his face turn dark.

This news concerns Parthenon, Ye Xinxia, ​​and the Black Vatican!
Following the death of Saintess Ander, Saintess Pan Jiani also died, and Ye Xinxia was suspected of being Pan Jiani's murderer!
What's even more unacceptable is that the people of the Holy Tribunal verified through the bishop's bloodstone that Xinxia is Salang!
Ye Xinxia will be put on trial soon!

This news surprised Lu Ran!

Because the death of Saintess Ander had absolutely nothing to do with Ye Xinxia, ​​yet a saintess died, which was clearly a forced label.

Clearly, the goddess of Parthenon has begun to resort to any means necessary to obtain the Parthenon's soul.

"Lu Ran, calm down," Old Man Bao sighed.

Lu Ran shook his head to indicate that he was fine. Just then, the phone rang.

The caller was Han Ji, the president of the Ancient Capital Bell Tower Magic Association.

"Lu Ran, have you heard about Parthenon?" Han Ji's deep voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hmm, what's Chairman Han's opinion?"

"Although I'm very reluctant to believe it, the Bishop's Bloodstone..." Han Ji was somewhat confused!
Lu Ran spoke calmly:
"Back in the ancient capital, you learned from the prophet that Salang was among those high-ranking officials, which led you to devise the Guillotine Plan. In the end, it was proven that Lingxi, who escaped, was Salang's incarnation."

"And now, to say that Xin Xia is Salang, isn't that utter nonsense?"

"Others may not understand, but don't you?"

Han Ji fell silent; he couldn't refute it.

This is also the strangest thing about him. Salang could not be Ye Xinxia, ​​but why would Ye Xinxia's blood make the bishop's bloodstone react?

"Lu Ran, what are your plans next? What happened in the ancient capital back then is indeed strong evidence that can help Xin Xia clear up the truth."

Before Han Ji could finish speaking, Lu Ran interrupted him:

"President Han, I appreciate your kindness, but this is too slow. Parthenon and his ilk are eager to put Xinxia to trial right now."

"Time waits for no one, so I need to go to Parthenon right now!"

"Go to Parthenon, clear my Xinxia's name, and help her clear her name!"

Han Ji on the other end of the phone was stunned, as was Old Man Bao beside him: "Lu Ran, you must be rational at a time like this!"

"I am very calm," Lu Ran said calmly. "That's why I'm confident I can help Xin Xia clear her name!"

"Of course, if Parthenon insists on slandering me to the end, I will choose to make them grieve."

Lu Ran left the Qingtian Hunting Grounds directly. He planned to go find Austin first and bring her along.

At this moment, Asha'ruya sent a message:
“With me watching over her, Xinxia will be fine before the trial, but you need to hurry.”

"Thank you."

Parthenon.

A world-renowned, authoritative organization; a tranquil and peaceful haven, revered by countless people as a sacred place of white magic.

Today, however, we have received an uninvited guest!
One loud sound after another echoed throughout the entire sacred mountain.

"Star River Mountain Path, an intruder!"

"Star River Mountain Path, an intruder!"

"Star River Mountain Path".

Inside the palace, Asha'ruya heard a noise, sat up abruptly, and her eyelids twitched.
