Chapter 388: What? Xu Ran Already Knew My Identity?_1

Just like that, Huo Wu became the sole logistics personnel of Xu Sect, in charge of laundry and cooking.

Initially, Huo Wu was quite resentful and thought Xu Ran stingy, and her heart was filled with all sorts of dissatisfaction. But when Huo Wushuang and others learned that Huo Wu had joined Xu Sect, they could only leave behind envious glances.

In recent days, they had made inquiries and discovered that Xu Ran was rumored to be a peerless genius, and even those rumors grossly underestimated him. Xu Ran's true strength was likely comparable to the older generation of experts. More importantly, those from Tianshui College who followed Xu Ran had all undergone drastic changes.

Although Huo Wu was merely doing odd jobs at Xu Sect, they didn't even have a way to join Xu Sect.

It's cool under the big tree. They knew this principle. Doing logistics work at Xu Sect might even have more prospects than staying at Fiery Flame College.

So, seeing that Huo Wu had become a named disciple, Huo Wushuang and others were extremely envious. After giving Huo Wu a few instructions, they left and the rest left Tianshui College altogether.

As for Huo Wu, she felt somewhat proud. However, the moment she thought about how easily people from Tianshui College could join Xu Sect, and Xu Ran said there were many geniuses in Tiandou City with talent greater than hers, she felt extremely indignant.

But the Xu Clan's Ultimate Techniques that Xu Ran had taught her indeed broadened her horizons, as if she had entered a new world. And Xu Ran, during these days, was not in a hurry and kept teaching them.

However, Xu Ran was not in a hurry, but Qian Renxue was almost driven mad!

With her intelligence network spread throughout the Tiandou Empire, she of course knew that Xu Ran had gone to Tianshui College again.

"Shameless, they're just a bunch of Fox Charmers. What's so good about them?"

"It's infuriating. Am I not good enough? My beauty, Qian Renxue, is incomparable to others, isn't it?"

Qian Renxue was furiously angry, and thinking about Xu Ran not taking his responsibilities seriously every day, she felt annoyed and restless. If it weren't for the regard to her status, she really wanted to go find Xu Ran and fiercely pull his ears.

He had just flirted with her for a short while and was already seeking other women—his heart changes way too quickly!

Serpent Spear Douluo and Ci Tun Douluo saw the furious look on Qian Renxue's face and didn't dare to say a word out of turn. A woman's anger could be terrifying, as Qian Renxue had been temperamental these days. Elder Ju and Elder Gui were much better. Although the Pope herself was a woman, her passions had died down, and it was only once a month that she would become a bit irritable for a cycle.

However, they didn't know that Elder Ju and Elder Gui were not far from such days themselves.

"If Young Master wishes to see Lord Xu Ran, we can invite him over. The boudoir is the burial ground of heroes; no matter how unparalleled Xu Ran is, he cannot go past Young Master's barrier and will become a subject under your skirt," Serpent Spear Douluo said as he saw Qian Renxue's anger and worried about himself, hurriedly speaking.

"Wouldn't that just expose me?" Qian Renxue replied with an irritated look at Serpent Spear Douluo.

"Actually, Young Master...,"

"Ahem."

Serpent Spear Douluo was a bit too quick with his words, and Ci Tun Douluo coughed twice to remind him not to misspeak.

"Actually, what? Speak up?" Qian Renxue had a bad premonition. Could it be... Xu Ran had discovered her identity?

"Elder Ci Tun, you tell her." Qian Renxue's eyes bore a commanding presence, coldly interrogating Ci Tun Douluo, which suggested heavy punishment if Ci Tun Douluo didn't tell the truth.

"Lord Xu Ran knew about Young Master's identity long ago. The last time I went to assassinate him, Lord Xu Ran even mentioned you," Ci Tun Douluo said carefully.

"What?"

"Xu Ran knew my true identity all along?"

Qian Renxue was utterly bewildered as she suddenly remembered how, when she disguised herself as Xue Qinghe, Xu Ran had been just as lecherous, taking advantage of her at every turn. Back then, she had even thought there was something off about Xu Ran's sexual orientation!

"Very well, very well. So you, Xu Ran, were deliberately making a fool of me," Qian Renxue burst into a sudden rage, her phoenix eyes filled with menace, her chest heaving violently, her teeth clenched with fury.

"If anyone comes to visit today, tell them the Crown Prince's Mansion is not receiving guests, for I must go out to observe the people's conditions," Qian Renxue said coldly, her heart already exploding with anger. Clutching the Angelic Holy Sword in her hand, she decided to set off immediately, determined to run Xu Ran through with her sword, this unfaithful scoundrel.

Dare to deceive her? Xu Ran was definitely a dead man this time.

She, Qian Renxue, the Young Master of the Spirit Hall, the future Pope, the Inheritor of the Angel God, had been made a complete fool of by Xu Ran, which was an utter disgrace.

Most importantly, she had been persuaded by Xu Ran to agree to a ridiculous bet, and he had even left his name on her.

"Young master, the greater good should be our priority," the two Titled Douluo were startled by Qian Renxue's attitude, especially upon seeing her draw the sword, feeling a chill down below.

That was the Angelic Holy Sword, a Divine Artifact of legend!

Even if Qian Renxue's current strength was not formidable, her might would greatly increase with the Angelic Holy Sword in her grasp.

Most importantly, the Angelic Holy Sword was extraordinarily sharp, capable of slicing through iron like mud. Wasn't any ordinary flesh easily severed?

We're doomed, utterly doomed!

What were they to do now? Support Lord Xu Ran or stand by the Young Master?

However, they couldn't shake the feeling that the Young Master didn't seem to be intent on seeking revenge against Xu Ran, but rather on catching him in the act... Bah, they felt that Lord Xu Ran was going to be in trouble. The Young Master was known for her stubbornness; if she really did run him through with a sword...

"Hmph, I'll settle accounts with you when I return," Qian Renxue glanced over her shoulder at them, and instantly, they didn't dare to speak any further.

At this moment, Xu Ran was blissfully unaware that Qian Renxue was on her way to seek revenge, casually nibbling on a large pear in his hand while tossing a bundle of clothes to Huo Wu, earning him a fierce glare.

"I, Sect Leader, want to eat roast duck," Xu Ran stated leisurely.

"You'll choke on it, that's what you'll do," Huo Wu, dressed in an apron befitting a cook, shot Xu Ran a look filled with melancholy. Despite her feelings, she still took a fresh duck and started to roast it. These days, she had become the complete cook for the Tian Shui Battle Team, also responsible for washing Xu Ran's clothes and cleaning his room. She had essentially become the logistic support for the Xu Sect.

"Is this how you behave when you see the Sect Leader? Have I mistreated you in any way? If you're unhappy, you are free to leave," he said.

"Not at all, not at all. The Xu Sect is wonderful, and the Sect Leader is the epitome of kindness and generosity, a true gentleman and outstanding talent..." Huo Wu vigorously shook her head. Leaving the Xu Sect now was out of the question. Just by following Xu Ran these past few days, her strength had improved significantly. The Xu Clan's Ultimate Techniques were indeed profound and mysterious, and she had no intention of leaving.

"Then that's settled. If you were to learn the secrets of our Xu Sect and then run away, as for your Fiery Flame College..." Xu Ran glanced at Huo Wu as he spoke languidly, reminding her.

Huo Wu pouted and looked at Xu Ran, fully aware that if Xu Ran decided to make a move against Fiery Flame College, they would stand no chance.

"What's going on? Why do I have this ominous premonition?" Xu Ran mused, touching his nose, sensing that something was amiss.
