Chapter 758 - 293: The Crown Prince Becomes Her Follower (6,000-word Update) (3)

Is it that the Ying Family never reported it, or did they report it but it got covered up?

Elder Tan Nan grew more and more uneasy as he thought about it.

Taking Xu Xingguang back to Wuyuan Town, Elder Tan Nan then returned home.

The next day, after finishing her morning exercise, Xu Xingguang arrived at Field 18 and found the guard post empty.

She paused for a moment in front of the guard post, then entered Field 18.

The departure of Elder Tan Nan lasted for many days.

Her absence did not affect Xu Xingguang’s daily routine. She worked in the fields during the day and absorbed all kinds of knowledge about the Divine Martial Realm like a sponge at night.

Ming Feng was quite thoughtful, personally organizing a bunch of useful materials for Xu Xingguang. Through his materials, Xu Xingguang could clearly understand the development of the Divine Martial Realm over the past two thousand years.

That day, covered in mud, Xu Xingguang returned from the fields to Wuyuan Town. As she walked to the building, she saw a young man in a black T-shirt, wearing a skull necklace, with a baseball cap pulled over his head, standing by the street below.

The young man was crouched by the street smoking, his head lowered, obscuring his expression.

"Ming Lan." Xu Xingguang called out his name.

Ming Lan immediately raised his head, seeing Xu Xingguang standing in front of him, with the sunset behind her.

The young woman was wearing a light gray work suit, her cloth shoes covered in black mud from Field 18, her hair held up with a silver hairpin, her face slightly red from a day in the sun, yet her beauty was still stunning.

Ming Lan stared at the mud-covered Xu Xingguang, who didn’t seem much older than him, and couldn’t believe this woman was their Old Ancestor. She, who once, with a single sword and an army, shook the whole world as Marshal Lin.

He opened his mouth, but Ming Lan didn’t know what to say.

After a while, he finally said, "My grandfather kicked me out."

Ming Feng’s original words were: "Your Old Ancestor is all alone in the Central Yu Alliance, without anyone reliable by her side, so you go."

Thus, Ming Lan, the most outstanding young hacker of the Divine Martial Realm, the Crown Prince of Emperor City, ended up in Wuyuan Town to work as an assistant to Xu Xingguang.

Xu Xingguang raised an eyebrow, but quickly accepted the explanation and asked Ming Lan, "What skills do you have?"

Ming Lan instinctively wanted to say he was good at computing, but considering his Old Ancestor’s skills surpassed his own dramatically, he found it hard to say.

"I..." Ming Lan awkwardly said, "I can follow orders."

A hint of a smile appeared on Xu Xingguang’s face. "That’s quite an incredible skill."

Ming Lan couldn’t tell whether she was praising him or mocking him.

"Follow me upstairs."

Xu Xingguang led Ming Lan upstairs.

She lived in a single dormitory. Ming Lan sat on the sofa in the small living room, which was cramped even more by his presence.

"You sit here for a moment, I’m going to take a shower."

Ming Lan nodded.

He listened to the sound of water coming from the bathroom, feeling numb inside.

A moment later, Xu Xingguang emerged from the bedroom, changed into sportswear, with her half-dry natural curls loosely hanging. She opened the fridge and asked Ming Lan, "Are you hungry?"

Ming Lan was a bit hungry.

Xu Xingguang casually used a hairpin to clip her damp hair into a low ponytail, bending over to pick up the aircraft in the corner. "Come on, I’ll treat you to a meal."

Ming Lan followed her, noticing the low-end flying balancer under Xu Xingguang’s arm, something only students would use. He frowned and said, "Tomorrow I’ll get you a proper vehicle, the most expensive and the best-looking."

Their Old Ancestor must have flair.

Xu Xingguang glanced at him, "Whatever makes you happy."

Downstairs on the street, Xu Xingguang stood on the flying balancer and asked Ming Lan, "Do you have an aircraft?"

Ming Lan shook his head, "They’re all in Emperor City."

"Alright." Xu Xingguang casually nodded.

Before Ming Lan could react, the over 150-pound adult male found himself effortlessly cradled in Xu Xingguang’s arm like a stuffed toy.

Effortless and unburdened.

As the aircraft soared into the sky, Ming Lan felt the wind brushing past his cheeks. When he opened his eyes, he found himself and Xu Xingguang flying high above.

!

Ming Lan struggled to restrain himself from shouting, just hoping Xu Xingguang wouldn’t accidentally drop him.

He thought Xu Xingguang would treat him to a meal at a city restaurant, but instead, she took him to the forests of Cattle Hump.

Landing high in the forest, Xu Xingguang asked him, "What do you want to eat? There are some wild animals in this forest, but not many, as they’ve been hunted out by the nearby fox hunters."

Ming Lan was momentarily stunned, realizing Xu Xingguang intended to go hunting.

"Xu..." Calling her Miss Xu felt impolite, calling her little girl felt more so, yet calling her Old Ancestor seemed too absurd. Ming Lan thought for a moment, then asked, "Sister Xingguang, do you know how to hunt? Can you use a bow?"
