Hearing Zi Chen say that he was leaving, the old man looked at him with a strange look.
Noticing the change in the old man's expression, Zi Chen said, "What, is there a problem?"
The old man said: "Before coming here, I met Young Master Lan Rui."
Zi Chen understood what the old man meant and scratched his head.
"You are really cautious," the old man said with a sigh.
Zi Chen said: "Senior is joking, there is no such thing as caution, we are just not used to it. After all, we are just casual cultivators, just running around on missions and sleeping in the open air. Now that we are in such a big family, we have nothing to eat or drink. It’s impossible to get used to having someone to serve you.”
The old man smiled and said: "Senior, please don't call me, it's more polite. My name is Lan Lu. You can call me by my name, or you can call me steward."
Lan Lu patted Zi Chen on the shoulder and said, "Although everything has settled down, you still can't leave for the time being."
"Why?" Zi Chen's eyes changed somewhat.
Noah and Shanya were also a little worried.
Lan Lu said: "Don't worry, the Lan family will not put you under house arrest, but there may be some things that need your help."
"Oh, okay."
Zi Chen nodded and agreed, absolutely not believing this sentence in his heart. The majestic Lan family has countless strong people, how could they need the help of a few of these weak beings?
After Lan Lu left, Lan Hongyi, who lived next door, came to see Lan Gumeng. The two parties didn't talk too much, at most they just came to take a look.
In the next few days, there would always be some strangers appearing outside Zichen's room. They all came for Lan Gumeng, but they just didn't have the courage to walk in.
The Lan family entertained them with delicious food and drinks. So far, they have never shown any slight to Zi Chen and his party. However, this feeling of being under house arrest made Zi Chen very uncomfortable. It was even more difficult to calm down and practice. Not small.
After Zi Chen was worried for a few days, he gradually relaxed. After all, after leaving this place, he might have to confront the Ghost King's people. It's good to stay here for now, at least there is no danger to his life.
As a result, Zi Chen began to practice with all his strength. During this period, he still did not forget to accumulate some holy talismans. He even began to look forward to the reward promised by the Lan family.
After all, this is what the head of the Lan family said, and it shouldn't be false. It's just a matter of time.
As for why she knew that the other party was the head of the family, this was Lan Hongyi's explanation. She had become a regular customer here in the past few days.
Apart from being a bit irritated when talking to Zi Chen, his relationship with Shanya and Lan Gumeng is pretty good.
As for Noah, after seeing Zi Chen deflated again and again, he simply saw the other party coming and disappeared in a smart way.
Noah, who lived in this house for half a month and had a lot of time to practice, finally found his own strength.
It was a force similar to the wind, which excited him.
As for Shanya, he still hasn't discovered the power attribute.
On this day, Lan Hongyi was chatting with Lan Gumeng outside, while Zi Chen stayed in his room to practice.
Not long after, there was a knock on Zichen's door, and it was Lan Hongyi's voice, "Hey, coward, Lan Rui is looking for you."
Zi Chen opened his eyes. He was very confused by this title. If he didn't dare to come to Lan's house, was he a coward?
What is the logic?
Zi Chen opened the door. Lan Hongyi had already left. Lan Rui stood at the door. He looked at Zi Chen through the door and said, "Let's talk?"
Zi Chen said: "If I say I am practicing and don't have much time, is that okay?"
Lan Rui smiled, then took the initiative to walk into Zi Chen's room and said, "Then let's use that favor to chat. Of course, the premise is that you have to admit that it is indeed a favor."
Zi Chen nodded and said: "I admit it, tell me what it is."
Lan Rui glanced outside the door, and Zi Chen closed the door wisely.
Lan Rui said: "The matter regarding Tiannu has finally been settled. The Lan family will try their best to protect her."
Zi Chen didn't speak, quietly waiting for the next step.
"Aren't you curious, why is this happening?" Looking at the calm Zi Chen, Lan Rui asked curiously.
Zi Chen said calmly: "Curiosity can kill people."
Lan Rui smiled and said, "It seems you still haven't let down your guard."
Zi Chen rolled his eyes, coming to this place, who can let down his guard?
"Anyway, it's just a favor. Just watch and talk about it." Zi Chen said, "I won't agree to everything. There should be a limit to everything."
"Then let's talk about the name Lan Gumeng first."
Lan Rui said: "She is not the name of a person, but actually a title. The original meaning is the lonely sleeper of the Lan family, or you can also understand it as a lonely person dreaming a dream that can never be realized."
Zi Chen looked at Lan Rui and his expression changed somewhat.
"Lan Gumeng is the goddess of heaven. Generations of goddesses are called Lan Gumeng. They have proud talents and unparalleled fighting power. They are the symbol of the Lan family."
There was a hint of fanaticism in Lan Rui's eyes.
"However, every generation of goddesses has not grown up."
Zi Chen extinguished the other party's enthusiasm at the right time.
Lan Rui's eyes were a little dim, he sighed, and then nodded in acquiescence.
"So, there is no enemy chasing you at all. Your Lan family knew about the birth of the Heavenly Girl a long time ago. It was you who sealed the Heavenly Girl, and it was you who prevented the Heavenly Girl from growing up. This is where Lan Gumeng's name comes from. He is always dreaming. ." Zi Chen said again.
This was what he had guessed, and of course he had thought of it because of the previous events.
The Lan family is so huge. If you support one person with all your strength, how could it not succeed? In the final analysis, everything is because of the Lan family itself.
Lan Rui nodded, but did not deny it, "But, do you know why?"
Without waiting for Zi Chen to ask, Lan Rui said directly: "Because of luck."
Zi Chen's expression was strange.
"Every time a goddess appears, most of the Lan family's luck will be taken away. The potential of the younger generation of Lan family disciples is significantly reduced. Take our generation as an example, in the past twenty years, except for me and Lan Hong, Besides, the Lan family has no more brilliant potential disciples."
Lan Rui looked at Zi Chen and said, "Once the Tiannu disappears, the potential of the disciples of the Lan family will return. Therefore, this is also the main reason why the Tiannu cannot grow in the Lan family."
"Isn't this explanation too ridiculous?" Zi Chen obviously didn't believe it.
Lan Rui continued: "It sounds like this is indeed the case, but what if it took hundreds or even thousands of years to reach the conclusion?"
Zi Chen frowned. If it really took a long time to reach a conclusion, then it would be worthy of belief.
Looking at the silent Zi Chen, Lan Rui said: "Every time the Lan family stops a heavenly maiden, three heavenly realms will appear in the family, and that's not counting the many disciples with potential."
"For the Lan family, this is a very good deal no matter how you look at it. After all, a celestial maiden is only a celestial being. The reason why the Lan family has been able to stand firm over the years is because of eternal luck."
Zi Chen frowned and said: "If that's the case, then why do you want to save the goddess this time? Instead of letting her be destroyed?"
Lan Rui said: "Due to some obscure reasons, the Lan family suffered heavy losses, so some clan members wanted a powerful goddess to see if they could reverse the situation. But this is only the thinking of some people, not all."
Zi Chen said: "So, your original purpose last time was actually to kill the goddess?"
"That's my mission, but I also agree with the views of others and want the goddess to grow up. So, I was willing to help you at that time, and even helped you delay others."
Lan Rui looked into Zi Chen's eyes and said: "Although the family has agreed to let Tiannu survive this time, it has also made it clear that it will not provide her with additional funding. That's why I came to you, hoping that you can help Tiannu find her." Give back the power that belongs to her."
Lan Rui said sincerely and pleadingly: "Looking at the entire Lanshazhou, you are the only one who can help the goddess."
