Chapter 209: Prepare for a Rainy Day
"Yes, grandpa. If the demons really invade one day, we can also use formations to resist." An Ran nodded and explained seriously.
The head of the An family nodded, agreeing with An Ran's idea, but then frowned and said with some concern.
"But setting up the formation requires a lot of resources. Grandpa only knows a little about formations, but we don't have many of the things needed to set up the formation."
"Grandpa, these are not problems. I have ways to solve them." An Ran said confidently.
After hearing An Ran's words, the head of the An family felt much more at ease. He looked at An Ran with gratitude and guilt.
"Ran'er, thank you so much, Grandpa! These things were originally handled by us elders, but now you, a girl, have to worry about them."
"hehe……"
An Ran smiled knowingly and leaned softly against Mrs. An.
"I am also a member of the An family. Besides, my grandparents love me so much."
Mrs. An hugged the coquettish An Ran, and her heart was so soft. This little granddaughter is always considerate and kind-hearted. How can we not love and pamper her?
The head of the An family was so happy that his face was beaming with joy, and he immediately ordered someone to invite several elders to discuss the matter.
In a short while, three elders appeared in the meeting room. Their eyes automatically ignored the head of the An family sitting on the first seat, and swarmed in front of An Ran.
"My dear granddaughter, Grandpa brought you your favorite candied haws."
The Great Elder took out a specially customized candied haws from behind his back like a magic trick. An Ran looked at the candied haws that was taller than himself, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Is it possible that this candied haws can’t pass? Who told great-grandfather that she likes to eat candied haws?
"Haha, thank you, Grandpa."
Unable to refuse such a kind invitation, An Ran gave two dry laughs and took the extra-long candied haws from the great elder, looking helpless.
The third elder glanced at the first elder triumphantly, took out an exquisite box from his arms and handed it to An Ran.
"Ran'er, this is the snack that Third Grandpa bought especially for you. Your sister Xin'er likes it very much, too."
He had already inquired about it, and found out that girls all like to eat sweet, soft and sticky snacks.
How could a rough food like candied haws be worthy of a delicate girl like Ran'er?
The second elder also came over eagerly, holding a carved wooden box in his hand and placed it in front of An Ran.
"Ran'er, this is a gift from your second grandfather. Take a look, you will definitely like it."
Last time he went back happily to show off to his old wife, he gave Ran'er a big bundle of candied haws, but was scolded by his old wife.
In the old woman's words, it doesn't look good for a pretty little girl like Ran'er to be carrying a candied haws.
As a girl, she would definitely like beautiful jewelry and clothes. Also, Ran'er has a good temper. If anyone gave her a bundle of candied haws, she would definitely beat him with a big stick.
This time he searched for a long time before he got this piece of jewelry. Thinking about the sparkling appearance of this jewelry, Ran'er will definitely like it.
"Haha...thank you Second Grandpa, thank you Third Grandpa! I like them all very much!"
Unable to bear seeing the Great Elder's frustrated look, An Ran treated everyone equally and thanked all three elders together.
“Cough… cough…”
The head of the An family couldn't bear to see the elders' fawning looks, so he cleared his throat pretentiously.
"Everyone, sit down. I called you here today to discuss something with you."
The three elders gave out their gifts and quickly returned to their seats and sat upright.
"Master, we just finished discussing this yesterday. What else do we have to discuss today?"
The Great Elder couldn't help but ask.
"That's right."
The head of the An family had a happy look on his face, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood. He glanced at An Ran and then spoke.
"Ran'er is going to set up a large defensive formation in our An Mansion."
"What?"
"Ran'er is also proficient in formations?"
"Hasn't the stuff needed to set up the formation already been lost?"
Before Patriarch An could finish his words, the three elders had already exclaimed in surprise.
The head of the An family did not show any impatience. He smiled and waved his hands, and waited until the three elders calmed down before he spoke slowly.
"Listen to what I have to say. Everyone knows that Ran'er, by chance, got a legacy in the battlefield of gods and demons. It contains the skills for practicing formations and the items needed to set up formations.
Because the demons have appeared now, we in our An family must prepare for a rainy day and take all the best protective measures.
Although we have not witnessed the war between gods and demons ten thousand years ago. But we have all been to the battlefield of gods and demons, and we can all imagine how tragic it is. ”
The Great Elder bowed his head and pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
"What the Patriarch said is correct. The demons are cruel and violent by nature, and they love to absorb the essence of cultivators to improve their cultivation."
"Boss is right. The demons have always regarded human life as worthless. We in the An family have to be on guard."
The second elder felt heavy in his heart. The appearance of the demons would be a disaster for both the secluded families and the secular world.
But now they are hiding in the dark, and no one will believe them even if they spread the news all over the world.
"Ran'er, how confident are you that you can set up a protective formation in our An family?"
The third elder did not join in the discussion about the demons. He turned to look at An Ran with a serious expression.
"Third Grandfather, don't worry. I have already set up a protective formation for my grandfather's family before, but my grandfather's family's house is relatively small. Now that our house is so large, I need the help of the grandfathers."
An Ran's face was full of confidence. After the last attempt, she was now very confident that she could successfully set up the formation again.
The third elder said, "That's good! Ran'er, just let go. We three old guys are at your disposal."
"Yes, Ran'er! You said that Second Grandpa Xiangdong would never go west."
"Then thank you three grandfathers for your support."
An Ran took out the drawings that had been prepared long ago from the space and placed them on the long table. Everyone stood up curiously and gathered around the long table with their eyes fixed on the drawings.
"Grandpa, grandma, and the three grandpas! I have already carved the formation plate. When the time comes, you will assist me here, and here..."
An Ran carefully explained to everyone the locations where the formation plates needed to be placed, and after everyone understood, they rehearsed together again before stopping.
Seeing that the elders already understood everything, An Ran smiled sheepishly.
"It's all my fault that my cultivation is too low, otherwise I can complete this formation by myself. It's too early to trouble you grandfathers now."
"Guairan'er, don't underestimate yourself. If it weren't for you, we old guys wouldn't even have seen a real formation."
The Great Elder's eyes were full of love. He had no children and had long regarded An Ran as his own granddaughter.
In the back mountain of Yunling, Jiaojiao was having fun with the two Mengmei and Xiaobai and Xiaohuang.
At this moment, a man suddenly appeared out of nowhere in front of them. The man was as calm as the breeze and bright as the moon. He gave Jiaojiao a smile as gentle as spring breeze, and his voice was as soft as jade.
“Jiaojiao!”
