295: Chapter 295 The Restlessness of the Lonely Stone, the Peril of the Worry-Free Tower!

After returning to the Kunlun Sect and settling Jiang Yunxian, Lin Ran stayed with Meng Qing, Su Xiyue, and Long Ling.

"This White Jade Capital seems like an isolated paradise, free from the harassment of the Heavenly God Mountain, but in reality, it's also a place of turmoil."

Lin Ran took out a slightly glowing and hot stone, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"What kind of stone is this?"

Meng Qing asked curiously.

"This stone is called the solitary fate stone. I won it from the Prison Dragon Demon Clan a long time ago,"

Lin Ran replied.

Ever since he arrived at the White Jade Capital, the solitary fate stone had been in a glowing and hot state, but he didn't know the exact source of why the solitary fate stone was like this.

"Does it have any use?"

Meng Qing continued to ask.

"I don't know for now."

Lin Ran shook his head.

Su Xiyue spoke up at this time: "Alright, since we don't know the use of the solitary fate stone for now, let's put it aside for the moment."

"Rebellious Disciple, it's good that you returned in time. This Revered Master has something to discuss with you."

Hearing Su Xiyue speak, Lin Ran immediately said seriously, "Revered Master, please speak."

"It's like this: just now, an Elder from the Wuyou Tower came to find this Revered Master, saying that their Wuyou Tower is currently facing a major crisis."

"As for the source of the crisis, Rebellious Disciple, you are familiar with it yourself; it is the Nangong Family of Jianxiao City."

Su Xiyue said.

"What's going on?"

Lin Ran asked.

Su Xiyue couldn't help but roll her eyes at Lin Ran. "Rebellious Disciple, can you stop interrupting?"

Lin Ran gave a sheepish smile.

"Originally, the Eldest Young Master of the Nangong Family—that is, Nangong Duanyue, who died at your hands—was supposed to have a marriage alliance with the Saintess of the Wuyou Tower. Unfortunately, neither side was willing, and with the sudden appearance of Su Qingyi, the matter was dropped."

"But unfortunately, Su Qingyi and Nangong Duanyue, that pair of ill-fated lovers, both died at your hands."

"Later, the Nangong Family's World Walker came out of seclusion and re-entered the world. The first thing he did was send members of the Nangong Family to the Wuyou Tower to discuss the marriage alliance."

"However, that Saintess of the Wuyou Tower had already refused the marriage alliance with Nangong Duanyue before. Now that a World Walker has suddenly popped up wanting to marry her, she naturally wouldn't agree."

"The Wuyou Tower originally thought they could just stall and dismiss the matter casually."

"But they didn't expect the Nangong Family to come so aggressively this time, determined to form a marriage alliance with the Wuyou Tower!"

Speaking to this point, Su Xiyue suddenly looked around, then quickly leaned in to Lin Ran's ear and said:

"It is said that this matter is related to the Tower Revered Master of the Wuyou Tower, who is also the number one beauty of the White Jade Capital!"

Lin Ran remained silent.

He had already intended to visit the Wuyou Tower, and now, taking this opportunity, he could naturally go there.

Just...

Why did the Nangong Family want a marriage alliance with the Wuyou Tower so badly?

And this matter is even related to that world-class beauty?!

Could it be...

The Nangong Family's true goal is actually that beauty?!

Of course, speculating blindly here is all in vain.

To find out what's really going on, Lin Ran would have to visit the Wuyou Tower in person.

"Since the Wuyou Tower is in trouble and wants to ask for the Kunlun Sect's help, why didn't that Elder of the Wuyou Tower go directly to Senior Martial Uncle?"

Lin Ran asked suddenly.

Su Xiyue sighed. "Rebellious Disciple, there's something you don't know."

"The Tower Revered Master of the Wuyou Tower and your Senior Martial Uncle have always had a grudge, so that Elder of the Wuyou Tower naturally didn't dare to go to your Senior Martial Uncle."

"As for why she came to find this Revered Master, it's because when this Revered Master once came to the White Jade Capital, I happened to meet her, and we became close friends."

"Now that the Wuyou Tower is in trouble, the only person she could think of was this Revered Master."

Lin Ran nodded slightly.

Su Xiyue is Jiang Yunxian's Junior Sister. The Elder of the Wuyou Tower coming to Su Xiyue was likely to use her as a Breakthrough point, wanting Su Xiyue to ask Jiang Yunxian to help the Wuyou Tower.

Out of old friendship, Su Xiyue agreed.

As for whether Jiang Yunxian would agree, that was hard to say.

[Ding! Detected that the Host has successfully triggered a new Heavenly Mandate Mission. Please make the following choice!]

[Option One: Seeing injustice on the road and drawing a sword to help! As the Son of Destiny, you should naturally help others!]

[Mission: Go to the Wuyou Tower!]

[Reward: 26,000 destiny points, Top-tier Divine Technique—Freedom Heavenly God Wings!]

[Option Two: Seeing injustice on the road and standing by! What does the trouble at the Wuyou Tower have to do with me, the Son of Destiny?]

[Mission: Refuse to go to the Wuyou Tower!]

[Mission: Find the right opportunity to conquer the Wuyou Tower in one fell swoop and bring home the beauty!]

[Reward: 26,000 destiny points, one "Iron-hearted" Aura!]

"I choose one!"

Lin Ran only took a quick look at the mission options and made his choice without hesitation.

"I already intended to visit the Wuyou Tower, and this matter allows me to enter the Wuyou Tower legitimately."

"As for Senior Martial Uncle's side, if we go together to ask her, she should agree."

Lin Ran said.

"Alright, when shall we tell Senior Sister?"

Su Xiyue asked.

"Wait until Senior Martial Uncle wakes up."

Lin Ran shook his head.

Suddenly!

The gazes of Su Xiyue and Meng Qing instantly became strange and surprised.

"Rebellious Disciple, did you get Senior Sister drunk? How did you get your hands on Senior Sister so quickly?!"

"But thinking about it, based on the speed at which you moved on this Revered Master before, your speed in taking down Senior Sister is still slightly inferior to before!"

Su Xiyue said with emotion.

"Revered Master, don't talk nonsense. Senior Martial Uncle got drunk on her own; it has nothing to do with me."

Lin Ran quickly spread his hands.

Su Xiyue's gaze immediately became playful. "You didn't take the opportunity to get touchy-feely?"

"How could I? Your disciple is a man of integrity!"

Lin Ran said with righteous indignation.

He really hadn't been touchy-feely with Jiang Yunxian; all he had used was his mouth. Could he not be called a man of integrity?

Su Xiyue and Meng Qing both crossed their arms, looking at Lin Ran with cold smiles.

Obviously, they didn't believe Lin Ran's nonsense.

"Alright, I'm tired. I'm going to rest now. Suit yourselves."

Lin Ran flopped onto the bed regardless, his mind calculating other matters.

Seeing this, Su Xiyue and Meng Qing suddenly grinned mischievously and sandwiched Lin Ran between them, nearly suffocating him.

"Master Baby, Meng Qing, your husband is really tired. Why don't you let your husband off for now?"

Lin Ran struggled to break free from the vast ocean, gasping for air.

Muah?!

Were Su Xiyue and Meng Qing getting addicted to this smothering treatment?!

This was a rhythm intended to suffocate him!

Trying to murder your own husband?!
