Chapter 76: Trouble Comes Knocking

  One sleepless night, although the cultivator's physical quality is different from that of ordinary people, this time it was not a refreshing all-night cultivation, but rather a huge consumption of mental and spiritual energy to set up the formation. Even with Lin Luo Ran's current physical condition, he couldn't take it. He glanced at the clock and saw that it was only six o'clock, so Lin Luo Ran leaned on the table and took a nap for a while.

  It seemed like she had just fallen asleep, but someone was knocking on the door. Lin Luoran suddenly woke up with a start and found it was already eight o'clock, which was the usual time for breakfast in the Qin family. As expected, when she opened the door, it was the cook calling her.

  "Miss Lin, didn't you sleep well last night?" Auntie knew that Lin Luoran usually got up early and had been staying for two days. This was the first time she hadn't made it to breakfast on time.

  Breakfast still needs someone to call out for it, Lin Luo Ran isn't seventeen years old anymore, but a twenty-seven year old adult, feeling very embarrassed.

  Downstairs, Commander Qin was already at the dinner table. Lu San Chun and others did not dare to sit at the same table as the commander. The only ones eating at this table were Lin Luo Ran and Commander Qin.

  "Lin Yaotou, I saw your room's light was on all night, why don't you sleep a bit more?"

  Lin Luoran smiled and thought that Auntie probably didn't know, so she wouldn't wake her up. Instead, she took out the jade token and handed it to Commander Qin.

  "Take it if you like," said Qin Shouling with a smile.

  Lin Luoran hastily shook his head: "This is what your ancestors have passed down, Master Qin, you are killing us younger generations... I just want to take a look at its structure, one night's time is enough, hurry up and put it away, my hands are trembling with such an antique."

  Qin Shiling was amused by Lin Luoran's witty remark and personally served her a bowl of porridge, "Huang Ayi's cooking skills are not bad, try some."

  Lin Luoran returned the peach and reported to Li, also tore a fried dough stick for Commander Qin. The atmosphere between them was warm, like that of a real grandfather and grandson. Lin Luoran drank his porridge, thinking that if Baojia were here too, it would be even better. He had checked on Baojia's condition last night and calculated the time, she should wake up in the next two days or so.

  Lin Luoran was both eagerly anticipating Baojia's awakening and feeling a bit troubled. It was good that Baojia had woken up, but she didn't even have the cultivation method to support herself, let alone Baojia.

  Lin Luoran thought of the golden text from "Dream" again, which could absorb a large amount of spiritual energy in the turbulent and thin spiritual environment on Earth, transforming it into auspicious and pure spiritual energy. If one grasped it thoroughly, perhaps they wouldn't need any cultivation methods, and their cultivation speed would be rapid, reaching new heights every day?

  When will she have the chance to enter her "dream" again?

  Lin Luoran was eating with a distracted mind when Lu San Chun knocked on the door and came in, looking somewhat embarrassed.

  Qin Shangming slammed his hand on the table and said: "A soldier should have an iron bone, what's with your hesitance!"

  Lu San Chun scratched his head: "There are guests coming."

  Perhaps it was inconvenient for him to be present, so the army officer had this attitude. Lin Luoran thought, and then said to Commander Qin: "Commander Qin, I'll go upstairs first." Just in time to take a look at the array diagram that Tuo had printed out.

  Lin Luoran thought it was good in her heart, but didn't know that Lu San Chun had a harder time; "Miss Lin, someone is looking for you."

  Lin Luoran and Qin Shiling exchanged a glance, so that's how it was. No wonder Lu San Chun was in a difficult situation. Lin Luoran had committed the crime just last night, thinking no one would be able to investigate at the Qin family villa, but unexpectedly, they were caught up with in just one night?

  Qin Shouling frowned: "Lin Yaotou, hurry up and go upstairs. Whoever comes, the old man will send them away. Don't come down until they leave."

  Lin Luoran shook her head. With her perception, she could sense if anyone was watching her from nearby, and no one could escape her intuition. Last night, when she took action, even the only camera in range was destroyed by her. The only person who could find her now was Wen Guanjing, her opponent last night.

  As a member of a special department, Commander Qin may not be able to easily dismiss him. How could Lin Luo Ran let the old man face the cultivator alone, so he insisted on staying behind.

  "Army officer, let the guests come in!" Looking at Lu San Chun's worried eyes, Lin Luo Ran just smiled, it's inevitable, no matter what, we have to face it, why wait until it's unbearable before coming out to solve it.

  Huang Ayi quickly cleared away the bowls and plates on the table, while Lu San Chun led some people in from the other side.

  Contrary to Lin Luo Ran's expectations, the person who came was not only Wen Guanjing, but also Mu Tian Nan, whom he had seen just last night. It was understandable that Wen Guanjing would come looking for him, but what was Mu Tian Nan doing here? Hadn't he been unable to avenge himself last night and slept on it, only to feel regret today, so he followed to kick a man while he's down?

  Pfft pfft pfft, how can I describe myself as a drowning dog now, so unlucky!

  Wen Guanjing and Mu Tian Nan seemed to know Commander Qin, so they bowed slightly and exchanged greetings.

  Commander Qin was perplexed: "Do the two of you know this useless old man?" After the incident where the special department protected Zou YaoWei, Commander Qin looked down on all members of the special department who were said to have cultivation. One "expert" was so choked up that Mu TianNan's cold sweat started flowing.

  To know that the Mo family's style is like this, it is most admired by Qin Shangshu, this iron-blooded military man who guards the country. If his old master finds out, Mo Tiannan estimates he won't be able to escape another good beating.

  Guanchao knew that Commander Qin was dissatisfied with the department's cover-up of Zou Yao's actions, but he thought for a moment before saying: "I know you're not happy about it, but one thing at a time. This doesn't affect my respect for you, Commander."

  Qin Shuai snorted, if it weren't for Lin Luoran who had hurt someone related to the Qin family, according to his temper, he would have left with a flick of his sleeve and wouldn't have bothered to entangle with these two people.

  Lin Luoran sat in the chair and didn't even stand up to greet them, only smiling at this point: "What's going on, is Zou YaoWei dead? That has nothing to do with me, I left the Blue Bird Club early last night and went back to sleep."

  Wen Guanjing frowned, Zou Yao was seriously injured by Lin Luoran, but under his eyelids, the bad influence this matter had on the department was not as heavy as the black pot he carried.

  Thinking of the compromise they discussed in the department last night, Wen Guanjing could only patiently open his mouth and say: "Zou Yaowei is not dead yet, he has been sent back to the Zou family. This person will no longer be related to our department's affairs from now on. Miss Lin wants revenge, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. I didn't come today for this matter."

  It was said that Zou Yao Wei had been sent back to the Zou's house, which was beyond Lin Luo Ran's expectations.

  But Wen Guanjing didn't mean that they were here to capture Lin Luoran today, so what did these two want to do?

  Lin Luoran didn't think she had any special connection with this department that would allow her to have tea and chat, so she said lightly: "What's going on? Zou Yawei was seriously injured, but you're not even protecting him... I suppose that's what they mean by 'special department'."

  "What's going on" is clear to everyone present.

  Wen Guanjing's face changed color, finally turning into a self-mocking smile.
