"Brother Lu Ran, you are finally awake."
Lu Ran opened his eyes again and found himself back on Xu Fu's big bed in the Fish God Cave in Nanlanhai. The first thing he saw was Xu Fu's relieved smiling face.
Lu Ran felt that his thoughts were still connected to the [Water Prison Pass] three days ago. At that time, he reached out to touch the water wall, but was hit back.
Then what?
Then there was a blank.
Why was it hit back?
Why is this Shui Laoguan no longer associated with me?
Three years have passed. Has [Shui Laoguan] changed, or have I changed?
On top of the puzzle, come up with new questions.
For a moment, Lu Ran felt like he had a splitting headache, and there were so many threads that he couldn't sort out.
Seeing Lu Ran's lost and painful look, Xu Fu hurriedly stepped forward and comforted: "Brother Lu Ran, you are still very weak. Don't think too much now. The most important thing is to rest. When dad comes back, dad will explain this." everything."
Lu Ran was shocked to realize that it was Xu Fu who risked her life to save him. She felt a little ashamed in her heart, but she didn't know what to say. She just nodded to Xu Fu and said a simple thank you.
"No need to thank you. Just remember to repay me. It's okay to give me your blessing! At least I'll invite you to take a bath with me next time. Please don't refuse."
Xu Fu's personality was still cheerful, and she resolved the awkward atmosphere in front of her with a few words.
Lu Ran finally smiled, stood up and planned to move around, but felt an unbearable pain all over his body, so he had to go back to the bed and sit down. His mind was still in the [Water Prison], and he asked another question unconsciously.
"Why can't you get through this time?"
Xu Fu gave a short sigh, then sat next to Lu Ran, tilted her head and leaned on Lu Ran's shoulder, and asked, "Will this hurt?"
Lu Ran shook his head, but did not deliberately avoid it like before.
Xu Fu blinked and said with a smile: "There are so many reasons in this world. Just like what you said, brother Lu Ran, you are just a destined person, not a perfect person. Who can say the word "chance"? Qing? It’s just that the fate has ended, and it’s time to have no fate, brother Lu Ran, don’t you think so?”
"The time has come? The fate is over? In other words, I am no longer a 'destined person'?"
"I don't know anything else, but brother Lu Ran, when you come here, you are still a destined person to me. Maybe you just don't have the destiny for [Shui Laoguan]? Fate is inherently limited. ah."
Xu Fu's words really make some sense.
Lu Ran thought about her words in his heart, and then said: "I just promised to show you how to pass the water, but it turned out to be a joke, but I did not lie to you. Three years ago or earlier, that In [Shui Laoguan], I used to come and go freely, otherwise I wouldn’t be here to meet you today.”
"Of course I believe what brother Lu Ran said. You can cultivate yourself with peace of mind and stop thinking about it. Maybe one day fate will come and you will naturally figure it out."
Lu Ran turned to look into Xu Fu's eyes: "Huh?" 33
"What?" Xu Fu was actually a little shy and lowered her eyes slightly.
"We have only known each other for a few days, why do you trust me so much?"
With Xu Fu's straightforward character, she would have simply replied with something like "Because I like you". At this moment, Xu Fu looked into Lu Ran's eyes and suddenly couldn't speak. She paused for a long time before holding back the sentence. : "Because...because brother Lu Ran is a bit like my father in some aspects, and my father is a person who can't lie."
Lu Ran was about to open his mouth to continue saying something when he heard a familiar and rich male voice coming from outside the door.
"That's right."
Xu Fangfengfenghuohuo, still dressed in black robe, appeared in front of the two people with an exaggerated fish knife.
"Daddy is back!"
Xu Fu immediately stood up and threw herself into Xu Fang's arms.
Xu Fang pushed her aside, tried his best to open his squinting eyes, and said to Lu Ran: "Why are you here, kid? How many days have you been here?"
"No... I don't know." Lu Ran told the truth, because he really didn't know how many days he had been in a coma.
"You...you..." Xu Fang was shocked to realize that he was now in Xu Fu's boudoir, and Lu Ran was sitting by Xu Fu's bed in a nightgown. Lu Ran looked like he had just woken up, and most importantly Incredibly, when had Xu Fu's room been so clean and tidy?
Xu Fang looked at Xu Fu, who nodded shyly and said nothing.
He looked at Lu Ran again. Lu Ran looked confused and was still pretending to be stupid.
Xu Fang drew his sword without saying a word, and an extremely beautiful fish swam toward Lu Ran at an extremely slow speed.
But the way was blocked by a tree.
Out of instinct, Miss Shu blocked the knife for the still dazed Lu Ran.
A sonorous sound.
Although Xu Fang saved his strength, Lu Ran was still swept to the ground by the huge wind of swords.
Looking at the large white jade bed behind him, the cup, mattress, bed board and bed were all cut in half with a single knife.
Only then did Lu Ran react: "Okay Xu Fang, you are going to kill someone!"
"Dad, stop it, it's not what you think!" Xu Fu rushed forward and stood in front of Lu Ran.
…
"Brother Lu Ran, I'm really sorry. I was impulsive and offended you."
An hour later, Xu Fang set up a banquet to formally entertain Lu Ran, and at the same time to apologize for the knife attack that almost killed Lu Ran.
Lu Ran was still very weak, and thinking that Xu Fu had saved his life not long ago, he had to swallow his breath first. After all, he came to Nanlanghai this time to ask for help from Xu Fang.
Moreover, even though it was Xu Fu who took the initiative, she had more or less taken advantage of her in the past few days.
During the banquet, Xu Fu asked what Xu Fang meant by saying "that's right" just before he came in.
Lu Ran said, of course referring to what you said, I am somewhat similar to him and cannot lie.
Xu Fang laughed and said, of course not, I agree with what my good daughter said.
"Which sentence?" Lu Ran and Xu Fu said in unison, and then looked at each other ambiguously.
Xu Fang's eyes looked like two "one words" had turned into one "one word", and his tone became more serious: "Of course it's that sentence. When fate comes, it's natural to figure it out."
He looked left and right, trying to separate the eighteen-year-old boy and girl in front of him with his eyes, but to no avail, so he could only sigh and continue: "Brother Lu Ran, I have lived here for more than a thousand years, and I have always known that [Shui Lao Pass] 】 exists, but I never wanted to go over and take a look at it. Even if you didn’t mention it today, I almost forgot about the existence of this thing. Do you know why? "
Lu Ran shook his head.
Xu Fang looked at Xu Fu again. Xu Fu opened her eyes wide and was waiting to hear.
Xu Fu shook her head helplessly and said, "That's all, you have to listen carefully to this matter."
After that, he filled his glass with wine, drank it all in one gulp, poured another glass, and drank three glasses in one go.
"This reason starts from the year when I first came to this southern sea."
Some people died, but not completely...
