I really am not a freeloader!

Zhao Qian was stunned when he heard this.

The city lord’s wife.

Isn’t that An Xinran’s mother? Why is she looking for me?

Chapter 29 The Hanged Man.

When Zhao Qian followed Aunt Han, they arrived at the gate of the An Mansion.

But what puzzled him was that he didn't seem to see much other people.

He remembered that there were still gatekeepers at the An Mansion. Are they all slacking off?

But when he walked into the door, he realized that he was worrying too much.

"Ah, what are you doing here, Brother An? Performance art?"

The corner of Zhao Qian's mouth twitched. Looking at An Ping who was tied in front of the door, he was at a loss.

What is this guy doing here?

Anping looked at him, then curled his lips slightly without looking away.

Zhao Qian looked in the direction where Anping was pouting and saw a white-haired old Taoist sitting on the ground.

Zhao Qian recognized this person. Anping had previously said that he wanted to solve his own problems with him.

But then he thought of the martial arts book he was practicing.

He came to Cang Yan gently and said, "Senior..."

The old Taoist Cang Yan shuddered, then said: "What are you doing? I don't know anything. I'm just a gatekeeper."

Ah this.

The corner of Zhao Qian's mouth twitched, and he protected his foodie behind him.

These two must be mentally ill, they are acting as door gods through the door.

Anping, who was hanging above, couldn't bear to watch any longer.

"You bastard Cangyan, take a good look at who it is. You're the only one who's acting like a senior!"

He was so disappointed with his wife that when his wife came back, no one from any family in the city would dare to come to the An Mansion.

The old Taoist Cangyan opened his eyes slightly and saw that it was the young man from before, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I was so scared, I thought it was your wife again."

Anping didn't say anything either. What a joke. The old Taoist Cangyan said casually. If he dared to say it, he would probably be tied up and put in a house.

"Master, I'm going down."

Aunt Han spoke formally to Anping above.

Anping's face suddenly had three black lines on it. How could he not know that it was his wife who arranged this to deliberately make him angry?

"Brother An, what about me?"

"Go, go, go find Xinran and ask her to plead for me. Maybe it will be of some use."

Anping sent him away.

My wife loves our daughter the most. If I had let my daughter beg for mercy, I might not have to hang on for so long.

The last time I was hung like this for half a month, and I lost all my face during that half a month!

Zhao Qian nodded and then walked inside.

As for Anping's wife, he didn't know where to visit her, and it would look bad if he was impolite.

After a while, he arrived outside An Xinran's cabin. The girl inside was practicing with a long sword. As she danced with the sword moves, a faint flame appeared on the sword's edge.

The golden pattern was so beautiful when reflected by the sword moves and the sun.

Zhao Qian did not interrupt the girl's sword practice.

With each sword move, the fire-attributed spiritual energy in the courtyard gradually became thicker.

"rise!"

The girl shouted, and the long sword in her hand, which was one and a half meters long, began to fly.

The fire-attributed spiritual energy gradually condensed on the sword edge.

"go with!"

The girl swung her sword lightly, and a flaming sword energy instantly shot up into the sky from the tip of the sword.

After the sword energy soared into the sky, it slowly dissipated when it reached a certain height.

However, for a person in the Qi training stage to be able to do such a thing is already very difficult.

After all, only in the later stages of Qi training can the spiritual energy leave the body three meters away.

Bang bang bang bang!

Zhao Qian clapped his hands and walked into her courtyard.

"It seems that your training is quite good."

He congratulated the girl.

"Hey, you, why are you here?"

The girl was slightly startled, then spoke a little embarrassedly.

I just finished practicing sword skills and I’m all sweaty. How embarrassing!

"Your Aunt Han found me and told me that your mother wanted to see me, so I had no choice but to come and have a meal."

Eh? !

An Xinran was stunned. How come he didn't know that his mother wanted to see him?

But when she thought about her father's current condition, she understood why she didn't know.

She sighed. What could she say about her own father?

If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place. I told my father about it at that time.

"Wait for me, I'll go change my clothes."

The girl was wearing brown training clothes at this time, so she looked much more stable.

Zhao Qian nodded. He was not in a hurry about this matter.

After a while the girl walked out of the room.

However, what Zhao Qian did not expect was that she was not wearing the purple long skirt that she usually wore, but a mix of red and purple.

Just like the setting sun.

"How's it going? Does it look good?"

The girl spun around in front of him and asked a little shyly.

"Ahem, that's pretty good."

Zhao Qian's face turned slightly red. He was stunned for a moment just now. He felt so guilty.

However, after practicing, my charm has definitely improved.

Zhao Qian looked at An Xinran who was pulling him to meet her mother.

At this time, she had slightly lost her childish aura, and a hint of fairy-like aura and mature charm began to brew on her face.

Zhao Qian smiled slightly.

Of course, he certainly didn’t notice that Ji Huanglian, who was following behind him, had a slightly darker face.

Then he suddenly thought of something. "Oh, by the way, Brother An asked me to tell you to talk to your mother and ask for mercy for him."

An Xinran was stunned for a moment, then snorted.

"No, I warned him at the time, but he wanted to drink it himself."

Ah, well, it seems like Brother An can only wish for the best.

Zhao Qian mourned silently in his heart.

After a while, the three of them arrived at a courtyard in the backyard.

It is surrounded by water and mountains, and there is also a green bamboo forest.

I can only say that this is worthy of being the city lord’s mansion, and the backyard is the main venue. But why would An Xinran live in the front yard?

Although he was very confused about this question, Zhao Qian didn't think much about it because he would soon meet An Xinran's mother.

Sure enough, I saw Aunt Han standing outside the house.

"Auntie Han!"

An Xinran smiled and greeted the person who had seen her grow up.

"Miss."

A smile appeared on Aunt Han's cold face, and her figure softened slightly when she looked at An Xinran.

"Then let's go see mother first."

Aunt Han looked at Zhao Qian behind An Xinran and nodded slightly.

Walking into the room, you will see a very classical room hall.

Sitting on the main seat was a woman wearing a dark purple dress, whose appearance was 70% similar to An Xinran.

The woman had a cold face and drank the tea in her hand silently.

When he saw his daughter coming, the coldness in his eyes melted away a little.

"Don't look at my mother like this, she is actually angry now, she is not like this usually."

An Xinran said in Zhao Qian's ear.

Zhao Qian nodded slightly.

You will know it when you see Anping at the door.

The fact that the powerful person in the Return to Void Realm dared not break free from the rope and could only hang there was enough to show how terrifying the girl in front of him was.

Of course, we cannot rule out the fact that Anping is dominated by his wife.

"Xinran, you are here..."

An Xinran's mother put down the teacup in her hand and looked at her daughter with a smile.

"Yes, Mom, and this is my friend, Zhao Qian."

The young woman looked at the person behind her daughter, and then her soft eyebrows frowned slightly.

Chapter 30 An Xinran’s mother, Ling Baiyun.

Especially it stayed on one person's face for a long time.

She looked at Ji Huanglian's face and her heart was slightly moved.

I didn't expect to meet you here.

She smiled slightly.

"Everyone, please take a seat."

After getting the approval, Zhao Qian pulled his foodie to sit next to An Xinran.

As my daughter's friend, it is natural for me to sit with her.

An Xinran's mother was named Ling Baiyun. She was one of the geniuses a dozen or so years ago. At that time, it was widely circulated on the continent:

The purple-robed fairy Ling Baiyun.

But no one expected that she would become a Taoist couple with Anping, the guy who is hanging out outside now.

However, everyone is aware of her fighting ability.

The name of the genius back then spread throughout all the continents.

Although she is not the most famous, the power behind her is
