"???"
Hearing Lu Lan's words, almost everyone present opened their mouths and looked at Lu Lan, who had become the focus of the audience, in disbelief.
He... what did he just say?
How dare he ask for an apology from the young master of the Qiao family?
Not to mention these people, even Yuan Wuwei was so shocked that he almost couldn't keep his expression, and he was already smiling bitterly in his heart.
You kid... just take it easy.
Although I am a powerful person in the Xuanhe realm, there are no more powerful people in the Xuanhe realm in my family.
But the Qiao family is different!
There is still a certain gap between his Yuan family and Qiao family, even the gap is not small.
Xia Ningmo was also a little surprised. She didn't expect Lu Lan to be so strong.
"You...what were you talking about just now?"
Qiao Jinhe narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
His threatening voice also reached Lu Lan's ears.
"Boy, I'm going to show you some respect for Xia Ningmo, but you are so ignorant and dare to ask for an apology from this young master?"
"It's still too late to take back what you just said... Otherwise, when you get out of here, even if Yuan Wuwei protects you, you will never survive for three days!"
As the young master of the Qiao family, he has the arrogance to not take the Yuan family seriously.
And it is indeed the case.
Lu Lan looked at his cold eyes, suddenly sneered, turned to look at Xia Ningmo, and said:
"Miss Xia, I wonder if I can temporarily stay in the Medicine God Sect for a few days until the Medicine God Conference is over?"
"After all, someone doesn't want to apologize and wants to threaten me... The Medicine God Sect shouldn't ignore the alchemists who are going to participate in the Medicine God Conference, right?"
Lu Lan's words made Qiao Jinhe's entire face turn completely dark.
Others knew the "someone" he was talking about without even thinking about it. He was clearly talking about the young master of the Qiao family!
This is equivalent to pointing your nose at him and scolding him!
The key thing is that he still couldn't speak!
The corners of Xia Ningmo's mouth under the veil were slightly raised, and she said softly:
"Of course, since you feel unsafe outside, just come to our Yaoshen Sect as a guest. Our Yaoshen Sect will definitely treat you with courtesy."
Finally, she turned to look at Qiao Jinhe and said calmly:
"Now that Young Master Qiao has apologized, I also take back my previous decision. However, in the past few days before the Medicine God Conference, I don't want Young Master Qiao to appear in the Medicine God Sect, otherwise I will still make the decision just now. "
Qiao Jinhe's face was almost turning black.
But he couldn't say anything. He couldn't point at the two of them and scold them for being "complicit", right?
Then this is equivalent to exposing the face of Yaoshen Sect!
Qiao Jinhe couldn't even smile this time, so he could only hold back the anger in his heart, throw up his sleeves and leave.
He didn't even say hello to Liang Zhizi, which showed how angry he was now.
"Brother, wait for me!"
Qiao Yuyuan also left quickly.
Naturally, Qiao Youwei and the other Qiao family alchemists had no shame in staying any longer, so they quickly left.
Liang Zhizi looked at the large banquet hall where many people had suddenly disappeared, and could only helplessly shake his head and smile.
There was no way, Xia Ningmo's status in the Medicine God Sect was indeed so high that he could not shake it.
Even if Xia Ningmo wanted to fall out with Qiao Jinhe on the spot, he would still have to side with Xia Ningmo.
But he didn't expect that the young man named Lu Lan would be so arrogant and fearless in front of Qiao Jinhe.
Is it because he has Xia Ningmo's support...or is it because he is not afraid of Qiao Jinhe?
Speaking of which, the suggestion he just made is enough to show that he has extraordinary knowledge in refining medicine, so who is the master behind him?
Liang Zhizi suddenly felt that he might need to pay more attention to this Lu Lan.
No wonder Xia Ningmo suddenly cared so much about Lu Lan. Was it because she thought of the key point?
In fact, Xia Ningmo really didn't pay much attention to this.
She didn't even glance at Qiao Jinhe's back, then looked back at Lu Lan and said:
"Qiao Jinhe is a narrow-minded person with an arrogant and perverse temper. If you offended him this time, he will definitely find ways to retaliate against you in the future."
"Thank you, Miss Xia, for reminding me... I can actually tell it without you having to tell me."
Lu Lan smiled and said:
"It's just that this guy didn't have any sincerity when he apologized. He didn't even hide his look of wanting to kill me, so naturally I couldn't just let it go so casually."
Hearing this, Xia Ningmo finally understood that Lu Lan was not someone to be bullied to begin with. No wonder he dared to confront Qiao Jinhe like that without any fear.
She nodded slightly and said:
"In that case, when will you go to Yaoshen Sect?"
As if she was afraid that others would misunderstand, she added:
"I just want to go back and test your suggestion. I hope you can observe it."
Lu Lan thought for a while, nodded, and said with a smile:
"That's just right. I'll also go visit the Yaoshen Sect, which I have admired for a long time."
Xia Ningmo nodded and turned to leave immediately.
But when leaving, she turned her head and glanced at Zhan Xuanyuan.
Zhan Xuanyuan was drinking tea with his head down at the moment, without showing any expression in front of her.
Even if he looked up, Xia Ningmo would never recognize who he was.
But for some reason, Xia Ningmo always felt that this stranger seemed to be paying attention to her.
Without thinking much, Xia Ningmo left the banquet hall first.
"Senior Yuan, then I will take the first step."
Lu Lan smiled lightly and said:
"I hope it won't cause you any trouble this time."
"If you leave, the trouble will naturally stop coming."
Yuan Wuwei also smiled and said, "Go ahead and pay attention to safety."
Lu Lan nodded, and immediately looked at Zhan Xuanyuan, and then left.
"Tsk, tsk, this kid... is really quite extraordinary."
Mo Zhentian looked at the backs of Lu Lan and Xia Ningmo leaving and tutted.
"Brother, aren't you going to chase after me?"
Mo Duanhai spoke up: "If the two of them get together like this, will that guy named Lu Lan take the opportunity to attack Miss Xia..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly became aware of Mo Duanhai's dagger-like eyes, and immediately shut his mouth honestly.
"Don't worry, with Xia Ningmo's temperament, she won't be tempted by a young boy. She can't even look down on me and Qiao Jinhe, so how can she look down on that guy?"
"And even if that guy wants to do anything to Xia Ningmo, he can't do it... His profound energy aura is only at the third level of the Xuanfu realm, how could he possibly do anything to Xia Ningmo..."
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly froze.
No, since his profound strength is far inferior to Xia Ningmo, then it is naturally impossible for him to compare with Qiao Jinhe.
Then how did he dare to talk back to Qiao Jinhe?
He even dared to ignore Qiao Jinhe's threat...
Could it be that there is some big boss or powerful force behind him...
Mo Zhentian couldn't help but think of going together with Liang Zhizi.
————————
After leaving Cangfeng Restaurant.
Qiao Jinhe walked quickly for an unknown length of time and suddenly stopped.
Qiao Yuyuan who was following him also stopped quickly:
"What's wrong, brother?"
"You ask me what's wrong? If you hadn't been so talkative today, why would I have been so humiliated in public?!"
Qiao Jinhe suddenly turned his head and roared at Qiao Yuyuan.
Qiao Yuyuan was also shocked, but as a brother-in-law, she naturally did not dare to lose her temper with Qiao Jinhe, so she could only say aggrievedly:
"How could I have imagined that crazy...that Xia Ningmo would actually activate the entire Yaoshen Sect's power in order to protect that guy who appeared out of nowhere!"
"What's more, she asked you to do such an outrageous thing. She clearly didn't take our Qiao family seriously! She..."
"Okay! You don't have to say any more! No matter what, she will eventually become my woman, your future sister-in-law, don't talk about her like that!"
Qiao Jinhe took several deep breaths and scolded.
Qiao Yuyuan was yelled at by her brother again, and a look of grievance appeared on her face again.
But then she thought about it and suddenly said angrily:
"That guy named Lu Lan is so disgusting... Doesn't he know the influence of our Qiao family in the Imperial City? How dare he do that to my brother..."
Suddenly, she suddenly thought of something and said in surprise:
"Brother, could it be because Xia Ningmo has known him for a long time? It's just that they pretended not to know each other in the banquet hall... Otherwise, why would Xia Ningmo protect that guy so much with his character?"
Hearing this, the expression on Qiao Jinhe's face stiffened for a moment.
The last thing he dared to think about was this situation.
He slowly raised his eyes, a moment of awe-inspiring murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"Lu Lan...it seems I have to kill you..."
————————
Medicine God Sect.
Lu Lan and Xia Ningmo were walking on a path in Yaoshen Sect.
Xia Ningmo did not mobilize the entire Yaoshen Sect to greet him, so there were only two people on this trail, Lu Lan and Xia Ningmo.
This was Lu Lan's request. He didn't want the entire Yaoshen Sect to come out to welcome him.
"The Medicine God Sect is indeed an extraordinary place. Just walking on this road, you can feel the strong medicinal energy."
Lu Lan glanced at the slightly bright cave in the distance and couldn't help but smile:
"And the alchemists here basically make medicine for themselves, not for making money like those secular alchemists in the world."
"Actually, there are some alchemists in the Yaoshen Sect who need to make money, and our Yaoshen Sect is not that otherworldly."
Xia Ningmo smiled lightly and said:
“It is impossible to be truly otherworldly while remaining grounded in the mundane.”
Lu Lan nodded. It seemed that Xia Ningmo's temperament was not that difficult to get in touch with. As long as she got the right topic, she was easy to talk to.
"It's still early, how about we verify Mr. Lu's idea first, and then I take Mr. Lu to the guest room where he lives?"
Xia Ningmo asked aloud.
It was obvious that she wanted to witness the moment when her doubts were solved.
Lu Lan nodded, naturally he had no objection.
The two walked for a while.
Lu Lan looked up and saw a small courtyard with an elegant style not far away. It was completely different from the other Yaoshen Sect buildings seen on the road.
So he felt a little surprised:
"Does the place used by your Medicine God Sect for refining medicine look like this?"
"No, this is where I live."
Xia Ningmo shook her head, walked to the door and opened it.
"Master Lu, please come in."
