Chapter 3788

The conference hall became abnormally silent because this news was too shocking.

Could it be that the Lan family was created by the Ancestor of Cerulean Planet just to nurture the fairy?

The fairy was not the Ancestor's daughter, but the Ancestor's mission to protect?

In an instant, the glory of the Lan family was shattered. Although everyone was not as depressed as Langrui, they were not much better.

How could the powerful Lan family, the glory of countless people, become like this?

The surroundings were silent. It was extremely quiet. Everyone's expression was very ugly.

After a long while, an old man said leisurely, "I have to say, this joke is a little too much."

The others looked at each other, their eyes flashing. They were all shrewd elders and quickly reacted. Each of them let out a long sigh of relief.

"Third Elder, do you think this is a joke?" The Lan family head looked at the elder who spoke.

The elder who was ranked third in the Lan family said, "We understand Langrui's desire to protect the fairy, and we also support him.

However, it's a little ridiculous to use such a joke in exchange for greater support.

Oh, no, it's a little too much. "

"That's right, this is indeed inappropriate. It's too thoughtless and too childish," another elder said.

Immediately after, the other elders nodded one after another, indicating that this was a joke.

The Ancestor of Cerulean Planet was very important to the Lan family, but the news had already said that it was only a clone and had already dissipated.

Although the Ancestor's fate was unknown, it did not say that he was still alive.

Relatively speaking, the power in the hands of the elders was real, and the resources were seen with their own eyes. In such a situation, who would be willing to share the meat that was in their hands?

Not to mention the news of the Ancestor, even if the Ancestor gave a personal order, they would obey on the surface but disobey on the inside, unless the Ancestor came personally.

In the face of huge benefits, they could ignore the Ancestor of the past.

The elders all expressed their opinions, but the Lan family head was unmoved. After a moment, he looked at the silent first elder and said, "First Elder, what do you think of this matter?"

"This matter is of great importance and needs to be decided again.

Perhaps Rui 'er really saw the Ancestor's clone, but the truth might not be so.

This child is stubborn and will say whatever he thinks. This matter is indeed suspected of being a joke. "

At this point, the first elder also expressed his opinion.

The other Elders nodded their heads in agreement.

The Lan Clan Master glanced at the elders and said: "Since everyone thinks that this is a joke, then let's treat it as a joke for now. This time, Rui 'er and Hongyi were in danger and suffered great losses. How about we use this information to exchange for two soul weapons from the treasury?"

Some of the elders' expressions changed slightly. They wanted to say something.

At this moment, the Great Elder said, "Protecting the Holy Maiden is a meritorious deed, so it should be given."

Those elders who were complaining in their hearts all shut their mouths.

Just the loss of two soul weapons in the treasury was enough to make everyone treat this matter as a joke. There was no need to invest a large amount of resources to support the Heavenly Maiden, this was naturally a good thing.

Since no one refused, the matter was settled.

Then, the Patriarch said, "There is one more thing that needs to be decided by the elders."

He took out the piece of ancient jade. "This is the clan's tracking jade, and it's of the highest grade. This is the reason why Rui 'er and Hongyi were in such a dangerous situation."

The expressions of the group of elders, who had calmed down earlier, changed drastically. This was no small matter.

Murdering the successor of the clan was a serious crime.

"The target of the ancient jade is a person called Nuo Ya. He has been in the Lan family for a few days, and there are no more than three people from the Lan family who have spoken to him."

The Patriarch's gaze gradually turned cold. "There are six of them, and only three of them are at the Soul Realm. However, the enemy sent out more than ten Soul Realm experts, dozens of Soul Void Realm experts, and most importantly, two of them are at the Human Soul Realm."

The elders were very clear about what such combat strength meant.

To be able to survive under such a sure-kill situation was simply a fluke.

"I know that many of you are not willing to let the Holy Maiden live. I've only pretended not to see all the trouble you've caused.

But this time, you actually dared to have designs on the successor. I need a clear explanation for this matter! "

With a bang, the Patriarch slammed the ancient jade on the table. "If you can't give an explanation, then we'll use the clan's rules."

Many elders' hearts trembled.

The clan's rules clearly stated that once the successor was determined, internal strife was not allowed for any reason.

As long as they were found, all those involved would be executed and all branches of the bloodline would be expelled.

Up until now, the Lan family had too many clansmen. For example, the dozens of elders in front of them represented dozens of bloodline branches.

And behind them, there were many bloodlines.

It seemed like everyone had the surname Lan, but with the development of generations, the bloodline had long changed.

Zi Chen entered the noodle restaurant again. The restaurant's business was very good and it was already full of people.

The burly man sat there alone. It was unknown if it was because of his burly figure, but no one shared a table with him.

Zi Chen walked over and sat opposite the burly man.

The burly man raised his head and glanced at Zi Chen. He said, "It's you, kid. Don't you usually come in the evening?"

"I was bored and just happened to come out for a walk. I walked here and decided to come in and eat a bowl of noodles."

Zi Chen stood up and took a plate of side dishes from the counter and sat down. A bowl of noodles and a plate of side dishes. This was the rule.

At this moment, the old man, who had already become a chef, came out with two bowls of noodles. When he saw Zi Chen, he nodded at him. After putting down the noodles, he said, "Soup and noodles?"

"Yes."

Zi Chen responded and put a piece of radish in his mouth.

It was still so refreshing.

"Want a bite?" He looked at the burly man and said.

The burly man curled his lips and said, "I don't drink during the day."

Zi Chen said, "It's my treat."

The burly man said loudly, "Old Tang, we'll make the noodles later. Two jars of earth roasted meat and a pound of beef."

Zi Chen put down his chopsticks. "You really don't want to be polite?"

The burly man laughed. "I see that young master has an extraordinary appearance and unparalleled talent. You must be from a rich family …"

Zi Chen rolled his eyes and said, "You can understand if you say it yourself."

The burly man smiled embarrassedly and said, "One look and I know you're rich. You're just here for the novelty. It's a waste not to drink. If you miss today, you might not come tomorrow."

Zi Chen gave the burly man a thumbs up. "Good eyesight. Old Tang, four jars of earth roasted meat and two pounds of beef!"

"You're forthright!"

The people who came here to eat would not sit for long. They would leave after eating.

At this moment, three people paid the bill and were about to leave. Suddenly, one of them exclaimed. At the entrance of this small noodle house, there were three beauties.

The exclamations continued to rise and fall. The whole noodle house seemed to be brightened by these beauties.

South of Luowei City, a small team of five people entered the mountains. The leader was a young man with a handsome face. His cheeks were slightly pale, showing an unhealthy color.

He was Luo Long, the young master of Luowei City.

"Let's go and see what good things Santos has prepared for us."
