Lan Hongyi led Zi Chen out of the meeting hall and went to another mansion. As the core of the Lan family, it was huge.
Both sides didn't talk much along the way.
Shan Ya glanced at Lan Hongyi from time to time. She seemed to be curious about how such a woman could say such things.
Zi Chen and the other three walked for a full hour before they arrived at the place Lan Hongyi had mentioned. It was a stand-alone courtyard with some green bamboos planted outside, and the courtyard was filled with the sound of birds chirping and the fragrance of flowers.
"This is where you will live. There is everything inside. Food will also be delivered by someone."
Lan Hongyi pointed to another stand-alone courtyard a hundred feet away and said, "I will live there. If there is anything you need, you can look for me. I will help you appropriately."
Zi Chen hesitated and said, "Will it be inappropriate for us to stay here?"
Lan Hongyi glanced at Zi Chen and said meaningfully, "It's impossible for you to leave."
With that, she left.
Noah and Shan Ya looked at Zi Chen, waiting for him to make a decision.
"Let's take one step at a time."
Zi Chen walked forward. At this moment, he couldn't help but sigh. It was not easy to get paid.
Not to mention the dangers along the way, they might even lose their lives here.
The room was very clean, as if it had been cleaned by someone. There was everything, even a training room.
Moreover, the floor of the entire room seemed to have an array that gathered soul power, causing the soul power in the room to be very rich.
There were also all kinds of exquisite accessories in the room, all of which could increase soul power. From this, one could see how rich and powerful the Lan family was.
Zi Chen began to cultivate and his heart gradually calmed down.
On the other hand, Shan Ya and Noah couldn't calm down for a long time. They thought that it was a good thing to come to the Lan family. After all, they were people who had made contributions. Who would have thought that their lives would be in danger?
After an hour, Lan Rui came. Other than him, Xiao Mute also came, which surprised Zi Chen.
The current Xiao Mute was wearing a luxurious dress, completely different from the sword-carrying woman from before. When she saw the three of them, her eyes were filled with pleasant surprise.
Zi Chen looked at Langrui. Langrui said, "I had no choice. The Heavenly Maiden insisted on coming here. I could only bring her here."
Zi Chen was still looking at Langrui and didn't say anything.
Rong Rui said again, "It's your first time here, so it's inevitable that you'll feel uncomfortable. However, you don't have to worry. If everything goes well, you'll see an acquaintance in two days. At that time, he'll naturally tell you everything.
We'll let the Holy Maiden stay here for the time being. "
Only then did Zi Chen nod his head.
Lan Rui bid farewell and left.
It didn't take long for someone to deliver food to them. All of them were made from special ingredients. Even the fruits after the meal were good things that could increase one's soul power.
Zi Chen and Noah ate heartily. Shan Ya and Xiao Mute seemed to be affected as well. Everyone was in a good mood during the meal.
It was the only consolation in this place where tigers and wolves were lurking.
"What should we do next?"
Xiao Mute looked at Zi Chen. She didn't know anyone here, which was why she strongly requested to come to Zi Chen's place.
Compared to others, following Zi Chen, who was familiar with her, gave her a sense of security.
"We can only wait."
Zi Chen smiled at Xiao Mute and said, "You didn't notice anything strange before?"
Xiao Mute shook her head and said, "No. I've been living with the Young Miss since I could remember. I trained hard with the sword since I was young so that I could protect the Young Miss in times of danger."
After her appearance changed, Xiao Mute's voice also became very pleasant. She naturally wouldn't lie to Zi Chen.
Moreover, Zi Chen could hear the helplessness in her voice. She, who was supposed to protect the Young Miss, was actually that Young Miss.
Even Xiao Mute herself didn't know her identity. Naturally, she could deceive others. In Zi Chen's eyes, this was an extremely clever move.
However, as for the specifics, he could only wait for that so-called acquaintance.
On the second day, neither Lanrui nor Lan Hongyi came. There were no other troubles. The quality of the three meals a day was very high.
On the third day, the so-called acquaintance came.
It was the old man at the Human Soul Realm. This surprised Zi Chen, but also made him happy. He was the most familiar with the old man in the group from last time.
However, when Zi Chen went forward to welcome him, the old man was already there. He bowed deeply to Zi Chen. "Young friend, thank you very much!"
Zi Chen hurried forward to help the old man up. However, his left hand missed. The old man had already lost his right arm.
He was slightly stunned and said in astonishment, "Senior, your arm?"
The old man shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. I'm already very satisfied to be able to come back alive."
A powerful Human Soul Realm expert actually felt satisfied to be alive. Zi Chen didn't dare to imagine what they had experienced.
Noah and Shan Ya immediately bowed to the old man.
Xiao Mute also walked out and looked at the old man in front of him.
The old man was the steward of the residence. He was kind to everyone. If the old man had not displayed his powerful cultivation realm that day, Xiao Mute would not have known that the kind steward was a powerful Human Soul Realm expert.
When the old man saw Xiao Mute, he nodded repeatedly. There was an unconcealable excitement on his aged face. "Good, very good. Really very good!
I finally get to see you again, Miss. "
In an instant, the old man's face was covered in tears.
Xiao Mute stood there at a loss as she looked at the crying old man.
"Your real name is not Xiao Mute. You are Gu Meng, Lan Gu Meng," the old man said again.
Xiao Mute became Lan Gu Meng. This was decided many years ago.
Zi Chen invited the old man into the room and then poured a cup of water for her. The old man told her about Lan Gu Meng.
When Lan Gu Meng was born, she was hunted down by her enemies. At that time, Lan Gu Meng's family tried their best to protect her. In the end, they brought Lan Gu Meng back to Star Sand City.
During that time, they were worried that their identities would be exposed. Therefore, the real Lan Gu Meng became a mute girl who sealed her mouth and followed a young lady to practice swordsmanship.
Their lives were very peaceful and happy. More than twenty years later, they left Star Sand City for the first time.
Everyone's fates had changed from then on.
"Ted is my friend. I asked him to find some reliable people to complete this mission."
The old man looked at Zi Chen and said, "So, in the end, you were chosen.
Zi Chen, you really did not disappoint us. This old man will never forget this kindness. "
"Senior, you are too polite. We are only doing this according to the reward. At that time, Ted gave us a price that was hard to refuse.
We are not that generous, "Zi Chen said politely. However, there were many suspicious points in the old man's words. For example, why would Lan Gu Meng, who was born in the Lan Clan, have enemies?
And the so-called enemies could not be the Lan Clan itself, right?
However, the old man did not say anything. Zi Chen naturally would not ask. The less he knew about this kind of thing, the better.
Looking at the somewhat worried Zi Chen, the old man said, "No need to worry. Since we are already here, then the Lan Clan will do their best to protect Gu Meng."
