But Cheng Youmeng herself didn't know why, Gu Ran's figure always appeared in her mind.
For a moment, I thought about becoming a martial arts master and impressing others.
For a moment, she thought about her failure in reaching the Golden Core realm in martial arts. Gu Ran simply looked down on a "weakling" like her.
All kinds of thoughts made her quite irritable.
This made it harder for her to concentrate on practicing martial arts as before.
Thinking of this, Cheng Youmeng suddenly felt some hatred for himself.
If she could adjust her mentality, perhaps her sister wouldn't have noticed that she was not in a good state.
If she wasn't so useless, she could rely on herself to break through to the Golden Elixir of Martial Arts, and she wouldn't have to enter the ruins.
Even if she had persisted a little longer and relied on her own abilities to break through and not enter the ruins...
Then when her sister got into trouble, she would not stay away from her sister and would not even know what happened to her sister.
After coming out of the ruins, she saw that the Niyuan Martial Arts Hall was in ruins and her sister was missing. She almost went crazy.
She thought it was the work of the other eight martial arts halls and wanted to take revenge immediately, but then she found a letter left in her sister's room.
It was because of that letter that she left Canglong City.
There was a sentence in that letter that she still remembers to this day.
"Sister, as long as you do what I say, we will definitely meet again."
It was this sentence, plus the fact that she later called the other eight martial arts gyms and conducted an investigation, but no relevant information about her sister was found. It was as if her sister had disappeared out of thin air.
That's why she thought her sister should be fine for the time being and was just setting a "test" for her.
Then she left Canglong City, completing the "test" left for her by her sister while inquiring about her sister's news.
What she didn't expect was that after several years she still hadn't found out any news about her sister.
Furthermore, the "test" her sister left for her was stuck at the last task, leaving her completely clueless.
She originally wanted to return to Canglong City, take care of the Niyuan Martial Arts Hall and reopen it, while also looking for clues in the hall that she had missed and thinking carefully about how to complete the last task.
But what she didn't expect was that she met Gu Ran, who had become the "ruler" of Canglong City, outside the Niyuan Martial Arts Hall.
Then, Gu Ran handed the sword to her.
She said it was a relic left to her by her sister.
And that sword was the sword in her arms, and it was also the sword that Gu Ran pulled out from the stone in the light screen and used to kill the extraterrestrial species!
Cheng Youmeng was not sure at first, but now she is more and more certain that the sword on the light screen and the sword in her arms are definitely the same sword!
But why did Gu Ran give this sword to her, and why did Gu Ran sacrifice his sister's blood for this sword
Before this, she thought that Gu Ran was a beast in human form, so she didn't take her sister seriously at all.
But now it seems that it is not what I thought.
A complex and incomprehensible meaning flashed across Cheng Youmeng's eyes.
At this moment, everyone's attention was on the light screen or Xue Xiling, and no one noticed Cheng Youmeng's complicated mood.
... ...
In the light screen.
Listening to Cheng Caimeng's words, Gu Ran could feel the strong family affection between the sisters.
As for Cheng Youmeng, he had paid attention to her several times at Lanxin University, and each time he saw Cheng Youmeng practicing martial arts or studying diligently.
He could feel that strong desire to become stronger and stronger, just to help his loved ones out of their predicament.
Gu Ran said: "If you continue to neglect your body like this, then your sister will have no one to take care of her."
"Don't we still have you? Well... you will take care of her, right? She is a student of Lanxin University, and also your student. You will definitely not abandon your students, right?" Cheng Caimeng did not respond to Gu Ran's move, but asked him back with shining eyes.
Gu Ran had an indifferent expression on his face: "I have so many students, it's impossible for me to take care of every one of them, right? Your sister and I haven't communicated much, we are not very familiar with each other, so there is no need for me to take care of her."
I have to say that Gu Ran’s acting skills are very good.
Outside the light screen, Cheng Youmeng saw Gu Ran's indifference and felt a little sad for some reason.
"Humph, I'm Cheng Youmeng, a martial arts master. I don't need anyone to take care of me."
... ...
Cheng Caimeng looked at Gu Ran's expression for a while, and suddenly said, "Youmeng seems to like you? I noticed that she pays close attention to your news."
Gu Ran was stunned.
Cheng Youmeng's face froze outside the light screen.
What the hell are you talking about, sister?!
She... ...how could she like Gu Ran
She merely regarded Gu Ran as a mountain to be surpassed in her martial arts.
When she saw the looks from other people, she said angrily, "That was just my sister's misunderstanding. I just thought Gu Ran was very strong and regarded him as an opponent I wanted to defeat, so I paid more attention to him. But I only had martial arts in my heart from beginning to end!
"Besides, you guys have been watching Gu Ran's memories. Gu Ran and I haven't had much communication at all. How could I possibly like Gu Ran?"
When it comes to the last point, others believe it a little.
They indeed rarely saw Cheng Youmeng appear in Gu Ran's memory, which means that Gu Ran should not be deeply entangled with Cheng Youmeng.
It’s just that Gu Ran was so outstanding at that time. Did Cheng Youmeng really not have any special feelings for Gu Ran
This question popped up in some people's minds, but they didn't say it out loud.
Even if Cheng Youmeng really had some girlish feelings for Gu Ran at the beginning, it is understandable. After all, for a man as dazzling as Gu Ran, which girl would not have such thoughts
The past is the past. As long as Cheng Youmeng does not become an obstacle to their killing of Gu Ran, that will be enough.
Lin Fan glanced at Cheng Youmeng.
Although she said with certainty that she had never had the slightest liking for Gu Ran, after experiencing the previous situation, he was a little unconvinced.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that he was getting further and further away from replacing Gu Ran.
This made him feel more and more anxious and irritated.
He wished he could kill Gu Ran immediately, but he had tried to manipulate the triangular crystal cone more than once to speed up the process of killing Gu Ran, but the result was still the same as before.
—Every time he sacrifices this triangular crystal cone, the process of the triangular crystal cone killing the enemy will not be controlled by him, and he can only let this triangular crystal cone kill the enemy autonomously.
He didn't feel anything before, but now he feels more and more uneasy.
... ...
In the light screen.
"If everything goes well for Youmeng, she should be able to be promoted to a martial arts master soon. She will actually be able to take care of herself."
Cheng Caimeng's face gradually returned to normal and she licked her dry lips.
But because she was leaning in Gu Ran's arms, she looked like she was seducing Gu Ran.
The breaths exhaled by the two people blended together, and the two people snuggling in this monotonous space became the only decoration.
Although Gu Ran felt that the postures of the two people were a bit ambiguous, this was not the time to care about such details, so he did not say anything.
Instead, Cheng Caimeng noticed the attitude of the two people and her ears suddenly turned red.
"I...what I want to say is that You Meng is actually strong enough. When she becomes a martial arts master, there will be fewer people who can bully her."
"But if You Meng still encounters someone she cannot defeat after becoming a martial arts master, then that person must be someone very important. I hope... you can help her at this time."
Gu Ran suddenly realized: "You made a bet with me before, and you wanted me to fulfill the bet not to help Niyuan Martial Arts Hall out of trouble... ...but for your sister
"Because in your heart, the most important thing is not the dead thing called the Budokan, but your only relative."
"Then you made another bet with me. What about the second bet? What do you want me to fulfill?"
Gu Ran suddenly became a little curious.
"You will know, but now is not the time." Cheng Caimeng broke free from Gu Ran's arms and turned her back to him. "I hope you can fulfill the second bet promise."
"This time, the Canglong City crisis will be safely overcome, and you will successfully rescue Xue Xiling later, but this requires you to do your best, otherwise my ability may also make mistakes. Go and get busy, you should not have much time left now, right?"
It turns out that Cheng Caimeng used her abilities without caring about her body because...
Feeling guilty, Gu Ran fell silent.
"I will fulfill the second bet."
Just think of it as making up for it. No matter what she asked for, he would try his best to fulfill it.
Gu Ran turned around and left this space.
During the remaining time, Gu Ran didn't do much—because there wasn't much he could do.
He activated the energy protection devices that were still intact in Canglong City and used the broadcasting system to announce to everyone that they should remain hidden in the underground defense system and not come out for the time being.
As for those who were still on the surface, those trapped in collapsed buildings, those injured and wailing... ... he could only leave them alone.
Because he is just one person. Although he is powerful, he cannot have countless clones and cannot do so many things at the same time.
And the important thing now is to survive the next arrival of extraterrestrial alien species.
