Murong Xue hadn't heard such an interesting title in a long time; it reminded her of some warm memories.
Then Murong Xue walked over with the crystal ball, handed it back to Fu Xiyao, and said softly:
"I didn't expect it was Ningning who gave it to you. Can you tell me more about it?"
Fu Xiyao took the crystal ball and gently used her supernatural power to make it slowly rotate again, and familiar music flowed out.
Murong Xue's eyes softened. The familiar music was specially commissioned by her, which made her miss her daughter.
Fu Xiyao explained to Murong Xue again why she came here.
After listening to the story, Murong Xue was filled with emotion.
She never expected that her daughter would remember her casual remark about wanting to find someone with the same water abilities. Her daughter even had Fu Xiyao come to find her, which moved her deeply.
Murong Xue stepped forward and instinctively hugged Fu Xiyao tightly, as if she were holding her own daughter.
"I understand. Don't worry, Auntie will definitely teach you well."
In fact, even if Fu Xiyao hadn't said anything, Murong Xue would have found a way to trick her into coming over, since people with the same water-based abilities as her are extremely rare.
For the sake of her ultimate plan and the future of Zhongzhou, she must quickly cultivate Fu Xiyao and allow her abilities to be fully utilized.
Murong Xue glanced at Li Yu beside her, already understanding what Fu Xiyao was thinking.
As the tenth Star Lord, Li Yu's strength is undoubtedly formidable, while Fu Xiyao is merely an ordinary Awakener beside Li Yu. The gap between the two is like a chasm, no wonder this child is so eager to improve her strength.
The misunderstanding was thus resolved. Murong Xue suddenly remembered something and said firmly to Xi Yao:
"Auntie has some things to take care of these next few days. She'll come pick you up when she's done."
Murong Xue's tone was full of encouragement:
"Auntie will definitely make you stronger."
Before Fu Xiyao could answer, Murong Xue had already disappeared into the rain, leaving Li Yu and Fu Xiyao standing there dumbfounded.
Li Yu and Fu Xiyao exchanged another glance, both thinking the same thing.
This seemingly impatient Murong Xue has a personality that is completely different from the gentle and compliant temperament of a water-type awakened person. Coupled with her striking red hair, she doesn't look like a water-type awakened person at all.
Just then, the soldiers patrolling the city lord's mansion finally arrived.
"Who goes there!"
When the soldiers saw the vanished house and Li Yu and Fu Xiyao standing in the rain, they froze on the spot.
He instantly recalled the words that City Lord Li Yang had instructed him to say:
"Strong people often have peculiar habits. When you serve them, don't be surprised by anything you see. Just pretend you didn't see it, understand?"
Recalling this, the soldier immediately shut his mouth, pretending to be nonchalant, and quietly arranged a new place for Li Yu and Fu Xiyao to stay.
The sky gradually darkened.
The dragon vein is about to rise, yet Yangcheng is unusually calm tonight.
All sides seemed to be gathering strength. Yesterday they were openly and covertly fighting each other, but tonight they seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding and were unusually quiet.
Only the sound of raindrops falling could be clearly heard in the quiet night.
......
A fierce wind swept by, and dark clouds pressed down heavily like a huge black curtain.
Amidst the raging wind and rain, Lu Fan's figure swiftly swept through the downpour.
His figure was somewhat disheveled, his clothes were tattered, and the black sword in his hand was only half intact, which showed what kind of fierce battle he had gone through.
Behind Lu Fan, several figures were rapidly pursuing him, accompanied by several threatening roars:
"Lu Fan, surrender! Don't make things difficult for the Central State Enforcement Team."
"You've already been sentenced to death and are seriously injured; there's absolutely no way you can escape."
"Turning yourself in is your only way out."
Hearing the shouts from behind, Lu Fan, who was running quickly ahead, smiled disdainfully:
"Seriously injured?"
With his regenerative abilities, his body has long since recovered to its original state.
The reason he didn't stop was that he could sense the two Thunder Bureau judges relentlessly pursuing him from behind.
The two high-level awakened individuals cooperated seamlessly, and with the support of the enforcement team, Lu Fan was rendered powerless to fight back for a time, leaving him with no choice but to flee.
There were originally dozens of law enforcement teams chasing Lu Fan, but all the awakened ones were left behind because they were not good at speed.
Now, only the two judges and a few others remain in the rear, posing little threat.
As Lu Fan accelerated again, the law enforcement team responsible for pursuing him closely followed.
Behind the enforcement team, the two judges, who worked together seamlessly, followed closely, fearing that Lu Fan might escape.
Those who can still keep up with Lu Fan now are all Awakened Ones who excel in speed.
The two judges were also surprised to find that Lu Fan, who was classified as a strength-type character, not only possessed formidable regenerative abilities but also incredible speed.
One of the judges, seeing that he couldn't catch up with Lu Fan after so long, couldn't help but get anxious. He couldn't help but speak to the judge beside him:
"Judge Lan, haven't the people responsible for blocking the way arrived yet?"
The blue judge beside him, while rapidly floating, replied:
"Judge Duan, don't worry, we've all gotten ahead of the news."
However, Judge Lan also knew that this couldn't go on forever.
At this speed, even if the law enforcement teams responsible for the pursuit arrive, they will not be able to stop him, and sooner or later this dangerous criminal will escape.
After several days of interaction, Judge Lan suddenly thought about Lu Fan's personality and immediately had an idea.
He focused his mental energy again, gently tapped his forehead with two fingers, and activated his supernatural ability.
His spiritual power was like a thin yet resilient thread, hurtling towards the fleeing Lu Fan at an extremely fast speed.
As if he had eyes in the back of his head, Lu Fan had already sensed the mental attack and released his own mental power, which acted as a shield to block the threads.
As their spiritual energies clashed, a connection seemed to be established, and Judge Lan seized the opportunity to have a brief exchange with Lu Fan:
"Lu Fan, stop running. On behalf of the Thunder Bureau, I am willing to listen to your explanation."
After hearing this, Lu Fan really slowed down.
Because he knew that running away like this wasn't a solution, especially since he wasn't a criminal.
Even if he manages to escape this time, given the strength of Zhongzhou, the next time they send people to hunt him down, it might not just be two judges.
Seeing that Lu Fan had actually stopped, Judge Lan was also somewhat incredulous:
"Did you really fall for it?"
After a moment of surprise, he quickly issued an order for the surrounding law enforcement teams to surround Lu Fan.
Judge Duan appeared silently behind Lu Fan, blocking all possible escape routes.
"Lu Fan, please stop resisting immediately and cooperate with law enforcement!"
