The group of five people improved their physical skills and magic to the extreme, and reached the edge of the barrier in an instant. They were all ready to attack and looked angrily at the people who came to break into the barrier!

They opened the barrier and came outside it, and were instantly stunned.

Outside the barrier, there were four guards standing in a neat row, dressed in black tights that did not hide their sturdy figures at all!

The four men were serious and grim, emitting a cold aura, and looked like they were here to seek revenge!

An Ran rolled her eyes speechlessly when she saw these four people. Why? She knew these four people well!

These four people were the long-lost Phantom, Phantom One, Phantom Cold, and Phantom Blade! Compared to their previous playful appearance, they now looked more like guards in the king's palace!

An Ran instantly retracted the fireball spell she had prepared, and looked speechlessly at the four people who had disappeared for a long time, saying with some displeasure:

"I say, you four have been gone for so long, what are you planning on doing now that you suddenly show up? And you broke into Master Mo Shang's manor in the middle of the night, are you planning on robbing him? What, are you planning on robbing me?"

Hearing An Ran's obviously unhappy tone, the four Phantoms couldn't help but shudder. Who would dare to mess with this great god?

Phantom gave a dry laugh and said to An Ran, "Hey, who dares to mess with you, Miss Mu? We're not here to cause trouble today. Besides, who among us would dare to cause trouble with you here?! Please also ask Venerable Mo Shang and the others to take back the magic ball. We are timid, don't scare us..."

When Venerable Mo Shang and his companions heard An Ran talking to those people, they knew that they were old acquaintances, so they took back the magic balls they had prepared for a long time.

Venerable Mo Shang glanced sharply at the four Phantoms, snorted coldly, and walked into the manor.

Mo Yu also followed him inside.

Xu Errong raised an eyebrow and looked at the four Phantoms, saying with an unhappy face, "Don't you know how to pay a visit? You broke into my manor in the middle of the night, what are you doing?"

An Ran looked at them speechlessly and asked, "So what are you trying to do by breaking into the manor in the middle of the night?!"

"I asked them to come." A deep male voice came from the darkness.

An Ran, An Yu and Xu Errong looked towards the source of the sound, and saw a silver light flash before their eyes in the darkness. A tall and graceful figure slowly walked out from the darkness, followed by a faint fragrance of purple bamboo.

As he came closer, the outline of his face gradually emerged, with handsome features like sculptures, sharp edges and corners, and a pair of phoenix eyes that were surprisingly cold and noble.

He was wearing a moon-white robe, which was simple in style but of first-class quality. It fit him perfectly and flowed freely, without a speck of dust. Under the cold moonlight, he looked even more elegant and refined!

He held a folding fan in his hand, gently waving it as he approached. He looked at An Ran and said, "Miss Mu, long time no see."

An Ran looked at the man walking towards her in surprise, speechless with shock: "You...you...you are Jun Zichen?"

Jun Zichen closed his fan and looked at An Ran with a wicked smile: "Yes, what's wrong? It's been a long time since we last met. Miss Mu, have you forgotten me?"

An Ran nodded blankly, looking Jun Zichen up and down, and said, "No, it's just that you looked sick at the time, malnourished and frail. It's been a long time since we last met, and you look like this now. Did you have plastic surgery? At first glance, I couldn't recognize you."

Jun Zichen listened to An Ran's serious words, looked at An Ran speechlessly, and reached out his hand with a fan to hit An Ran on the head.

An Yu quickly pulled An Ran behind him and glared at Jun Zichen unhappily.

Jun Zichen saw that An Ran was hidden behind someone, and looked at An Yu with some displeasure, and then he heard An Yu scolding him again.

"What are you doing? Do you think you can hit my sister's head?"

Jun Zichen finally understood An Yu's identity. He raised an eyebrow and looked at An Yu. He didn't expect that he was also a sister-con! But this could be his future brother-in-law, so he had to establish a good relationship with him!

He calmly withdrew his outstretched hand and said calmly, "I just happened to see some dirt on her head while I was talking to her, and I wanted to help her wipe it off!"

An Yu obviously didn't believe what he said, and said unhappily: "Just talk, don't touch me!"

Jun Zichen's mouth twitched slightly. This An Yu was doting on his sister too much! He didn't allow her to touch him? He was still thinking of more intimate actions!

But now...

He nodded and promised An Yu: "Okay, I understand. Now... can you let Mu Yunxi come out and talk to me?"

Xu Errong raised an eyebrow and looked at An Yu. "Don't let Junior Sister Yunxi out yet. Who knows who this guy is? Does he have any intentions towards Junior Sister Yunxi? And this guy broke into the manor in the middle of the night. Who knows what he's up to? What if he takes Junior Sister Yunxi hostage?"

An Ran stared up at the sky in silence. Why did she always feel something was amiss about this conversation between these three people? Was she so weak that she could be subdued in one blow?! Had anyone ever asked her what she was thinking?

She walked out from behind An Yu and stood still, saying to Xu Errong and An Yu, "He is Jun Zichen. It's been almost a year. I met him on the way back to Xinghu City from the Misty Forest."

"Jun Zichen? The sickly prince Jun Zichen from the Prince's Mansion?" An Yu looked at Jun Zichen and asked in shock.

Jun Zichen was not displeased. He looked at An Yu and said, "Yes, I am Jun Zichen, the prince of the Jun Palace, but I am no longer sickly."

An Ran ignored An Yu and Xu Errong's shock. She looked at Jun Zichen and asked, "I believe you are not here to cause trouble, but I still have to ask you what you want to do by breaking into the manor in the middle of the night?"

Jun Zichen opened the folding fan in his hand with a "swish". He looked at An Ran and smiled with a smug look on his face.

"There must be something wrong, and it's a good thing for you!"

An Ran looked at Jun Zichen in silence. Why did she feel that this guy hadn't changed much except for his better looks this time? He was still the same and needed to be dealt with. She wanted to give him an acupuncture again!

She looked at Jun Zichen unhappily and said sinisterly, "Then tell me quickly, what good thing is there that's worth you breaking into our manor in the middle of the night? If it's not worth it... I think you know what kind of torture you'll suffer!"

These sinister words instantly reminded Jun Zichen of the time when An Ran treated him...

That's simply worse than death...

He shuddered unexpectedly, looked at An Ran and said, "I'm here to tell you about the freshman selection competition!"
