Murano Momo is a cunning doctor

Is Chapter 1180 invalid?

The shop assistant immediately understood the implied meaning and quickly covered his mouth, but his shoulders couldn't help but shake slightly as he laughed.

Tang Ran was stunned for a moment, and after she realized what was happening, two blushes instantly appeared on her cheeks, and even the tips of her ears turned red.

She suddenly looked up and glared at Jiang Xiaochuan, her right hand already on her waist—but she found nothing.

Only then did he realize that he had changed his clothes and that Butterfly Dance Dart was not with him.

"You—" Her voice trembled with anger.

Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out at the mall entrance, and the previously noisy crowd instantly fell silent.

The smile on Jiang Xiaochuan's face vanished instantly, and his sharp gaze shot towards the direction from which the commotion was coming.

Tang Ran instantly suppressed her anger, her hands unconsciously protecting her waist. Even though she knew she wasn't carrying a weapon, her instinctive defensive posture remained unchanged.

Three incongruous black figures appeared at the mall entrance.

The chilling aura emanating from it caused the surrounding customers to unconsciously step back.

Jiang Xiaochuan recognized the aura of two of them—they were the two retainers who had "invited" him to see Huangfu Jingzhai last time.

But the old man with swollen eyes standing in front was the one who truly made Jiang Xiaochuan's heart tighten.

The old man seemed ordinary, but Jiang Xiaochuan could clearly sense that he was a true half-step Nirvana Realm expert or even stronger.

People at this level have already touched upon the opportunity for a breakthrough, and may even be able to forcefully attempt to reach the Nirvana Realm.

Your breathing is erratic.

Tang Ran's gaze swept over the group and settled on Jiang Xiaochuan's face.

Jiang Xiaochuan felt bitter inside and was about to speak when he heard a noise from the other side.

Looking up, I saw Mr. Ghost slowly walking over!

Two other retainers followed behind him, both exuding a chilling aura and possessing the strength of a Grandmaster!

"Hey,"

Jiang Xiaochuan nudged Tang Ran's arm. "If I agree to your leader's soul search, will you really keep me safe?"

The fact that people from the Huangfu and Situ families appeared at the same time meant that Jiang Xiaochuan couldn't think of any other reason besides that they were after him.

Behind this stand two enormous families, so his words were no joke.

Jiang Xiaochuan had no idea why the Situ family had sent people here.

But since the Huangfu family members are here, it can only mean that it was at Huangfu Jingzhai's behest, and their purpose is self-evident.

The one-month agreement is null and void!!

"Do you know them?"

Tang Ran raised an eyebrow.

"Can't you tell they're after me?"

Jiang Xiaochuan stared intently at the direction of the mall's central atrium.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the old man from the Huangfu family and Mr. Ghost met in the central hall of the shopping mall.

The two stopped three steps apart. Mr. Ghost smirked, “Old Ghost of the Huangfu family, what brings you to a place like this? Are you here to buy a dress for your little lover?”

The old man didn't even lift his eyelids, and snorted coldly: "You inhuman wretch, you're meddling in other people's business."

The moment their eyes clashed, even without deliberately releasing any pressure, the slightest fluctuation in the aura of a martial artist at this level was enough to make the surrounding air freeze.

Several passing customers unconsciously quickened their pace and fled the area without looking back.

Immediately afterwards, the eyes of both groups turned to the direction where Jiang Xiaochuan was.

Jiang Xiaochuan had a bad feeling, but what happened next left him speechless.

The two groups merely glanced at him indifferently, then turned and left in opposite directions!

Jiang Xiaochuan stood there, stunned.

This dramatic turn of events left him momentarily unsure whether to feel fortunate or frustrated.

Tang Ran took in all of this, a playful smile curving her lips: "It seems someone thinks too highly of themselves."

Jiang Xiaochuan opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but found himself speechless.

When he came to his senses, he felt that something was off about the whole thing.

It's no coincidence that the Huangfu and Situ families mobilized such a large force to come to the market.

They left so decisively, it was as if they were deliberately avoiding something, or... waiting for a more important opportunity.

As he pondered the oddities, he saw Tang Ran already walking in the direction the Huangfu family had left.

Jiang Xiaochuan reacted quickly, grabbing her wrist: "What are you doing?"

"Let go."

Tang Ran frowned, his earlier sarcasm completely gone. "Martial artists of this level are all on the Yan Brigade's surveillance roster. It's highly unusual for them to be here at the same time. I must find out the reason to prevent the situation from getting out of control."

"You're not thinking of going up and confronting them directly, are you?"

Seeing that Tang Ran was determined to get to the bottom of things, Jiang Xiaochuan felt a headache coming on.

"if not?"

Tang Ran countered, "They have an obligation to cooperate with the investigation; that's the rule!"

Jiang Xiaochuan couldn't help but roll his eyes.

This girl is far too straightforward. Even if she reveals her identity as Yan Lü, does she really think the other party will tell the truth?

"Why alert them if you want to know their purpose?"

Jiang Xiaochuan stopped arguing with her about the rules. He was more interested than Tang Ran in figuring out the intentions of these two groups, especially the Huangfu family's movements. "Come with me."

Without any hesitation, Jiang Xiaochuan chose to follow behind the Huangfu family's retainer.

Firstly, his pure yang body is incompatible with Mr. Ghost, making it easy for the other party to sense his aura, thus posing a great risk of exposure.

Secondly, he was more interested in the next move of the Huangfu family, or rather Huangfu Jingzhai, than the Situ family.

Tang Ran was pulled along by him, and the warmth from his wrist made her a little uncomfortable. She subconsciously tried to break free: "Let go, I can walk by myself."

Jiang Xiaochuan turned around and lowered his voice even further, almost whispering in her ear: "If you don't want them to find out, don't move."

The moment he leaned in, his warm breath brushed against Tang Ran's earlobe, making her ears feel slightly hot.

"Can't you feel it? Your presence has been completely concealed; you're no different from an ordinary passerby."

Tang Ran was taken aback and subconsciously began to circulate her qi, trying to sense her own martial arts aura—in the past, when she circulated her qi, a faint aura would emanate from her body.

But now, no matter how she tried, that familiar aura seemed to be enveloped by an invisible shield.

She became so integrated into her surroundings that she almost didn't even notice it anymore.

"how did you do it?"

Tang Ran's beautiful eyes sparkled, as if she had discovered a new continent. He mainly studied hidden weapons and did not have much knowledge of this kind of concealment technique.

In the past, I've suffered a lot because of this when carrying out missions.

Even so, she knew that ordinary concealment techniques could only hide one's own aura, so it was truly astonishing that Jiang Xiaochuan could conceal her as well.

Jiang Xiaochuan pulled her into a quiet side street, sensing that the aura of the Huangfu family's offerings was still not far away.

He then slowed his pace and said with a wicked smile, "So curious about me? It's not a good sign for a woman to be curious about a man."
