After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

late at night.

Yi Lan tossed and turned in bed.

The box of things that Mrs. Jiang sent today had a huge impact on her. Perhaps she should consider meeting the two elders of the Ning family.

As I was thinking about it, my ears moved slightly.

The moment Yi Lan opened his eyes, his right hand touched the long sword lying on the side of the bed.

Just as he was about to make a move, a familiar scent of gardenia wafted over.

Yi Lan's eyes widened with joy.

She stood up quickly and looked at the people sitting at the table.

"Master!"

Yi Lan was excited and quickly got out of bed and bowed to the man.

I saw a tall woman sitting at the table. She was dressed in a white dress with flowing sleeves. She was thin, and her cold eyes exuded a bit of kindness.

This person is the deputy leader of Xuanying Sect and Yi Lan's master.

Minghong.

Minghong is about the same age as Madam Jiang, but her personality makes her look very cold and heartless.

"Master, why are you here?" Yi Lan asked in surprise.

She hadn't seen her master for a long time, so she was naturally very happy to meet him suddenly.

Yi Lan was genuinely happy, Minghong's lips curled up slightly, and the indifference on his face dissipated a little.

"You haven't been back to the sect for a long time. I am worried and came to see you."

Yi Lan was raised by Minghong since he was a child. There is always some warmth between the master and the apprentice when they are together.

"I am an unfilial disciple. Please punish me, Master."

Yi Lan walked to the table and wanted to pour a cup of tea for Minghong.

But the tea was already cold.

Minghong waved her hand, indicating that she didn't need to bother.

"I heard from Yiqing that you want to quit the sect?"

Minghong went straight to the point.

Yi Lan was startled and uttered an almost inaudible "hmm".

"Why?"

Yi Lan bit her lip and looked at Minghong.

"Master, you told me before that I was an orphan."

Yi Lan suddenly asked about the past, which made Minghong feel dazed.

Fourteen years ago, while on a mission, she saw the human gang trying to drown the young Yi Lan.

At that time, Yi Lan had a high fever and was unconscious, so she let the human traffickers drag her to the shore.

Minghong's heart was suddenly touched, and an impulse made her save Yilan from the human traffickers.

"You were only breathing your last breath at that time, no wonder that man threw you into the river."

"Later, I brought you back to the inn and asked a doctor to treat you. At least you saved your life."

"When I rescued you, the clothes you were wearing were dirty and torn, but I could tell they were made of good material. I guessed that you were the daughter of a wealthy family who had gone missing."

"But I asked around in Yunping Town, but I didn't find any family that had lost a child."

"So I think your parents must have passed away, and that's why they brought you back to the sect to train you."

Yi Lan listened to his master's story in a daze.

Yunping Town is located at the westernmost part of Dacheng. It is an unknown town very far away from Kyoto. It is impossible for the master to know that she came from Kyoto.

It turned out that her parents were not really dead, but her master failed to find her parents.

Minghong noticed that Yilan looked a little strange and asked:

"Why are you asking about this all of a sudden?"

"Could it be..."

Minghong thought of a possibility.

Yi Lan looked at Minghong with red eyes.

"Master, my biological parents have found me."

Yi Lan rolled up his sleeves, revealing the red rope on his wrist.

"Master, was this bracelet worn by me when you found me?"

Minghong looked serious and nodded.

It's a good thing that Yi Lan can find her biological parents, but she is worried...

Sure enough, Yi Lan spoke the next moment.

"Master, I want to quit Xuanying Sect."

She had already decided to quit Xuanying Sect, and now that she had found her parents, she was even more determined to leave.

Minghong sighed softly.

"Have you thought it through?"

"Yi Qing said she didn't find you this time and that she failed in her mission. It was only after I noticed that she was not in a good state and asked her that she told me about you."

"The sect master doesn't know your situation yet, so I advise you to reconsider it."

"It's not easy to leave the sect."

When she was young, her junior sister once abandoned her martial arts for the sake of a man, despite the opposition of her fellow sisters, and left Xuanying Sect with her wounded body.

Later I heard that after my junior sister got married, her whole family died in an accident, leaving behind a child who is now missing.

The sect leader was only a three-year-old child at the time. He was sad for a long time when he learned that the senior sister who had taken care of him since childhood had left.

Minghong recalled the past and felt an indescribable sadness in his heart.

She really didn't want to see Yi Lan repeat the same mistakes as her junior sister.

"You don't have to rush back. Yiqing's mission failed, and the sect leader will come to Kyoto to assassinate Prince Dacheng at the end of the month. You can talk to him then."

Minghong planned this in the hope that Yilan could use this time to think things over carefully.

"The Sect Master is coming out in person?" Yi Lan frowned tightly.

Why must we kill Prince Dacheng?

Yi Lan wanted to ask, but Minghong no longer gave her a chance.

"Okay, let's leave it at that for now. It's not easy for me to sneak out to see you this time. I should go back now."

"Master." Yi Lan looked at Minghong earnestly.

Minghong felt warm in his heart.

The little girl who was dragged around like a rag has now grown up.

"Yilan, take care."

After Minghong finished speaking, he swiftly climbed out the window and left, his figure disappearing into the darkness.

Yi Lan silently watched the back of his master leaving for a long time...

The morning of the second day.

After the morning court session, Censor Ning went to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion with Madam Ning.

Madam Jiang and Duke Jiang received them as usual.

Madam Ning sighed, not knowing when Lan Lan would be willing to go back with them.

They chatted casually for a while, and Censor Ning and Madam Ning drank a cup of tea. Thinking that they would not be able to see their daughter today, they got up and left.

At this time, a maid stepped in.

"Master, Madam, Miss Yi Lan is here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Lan appeared outside the door and walked in slowly.

Censor Ning and Madam Ning stood up excitedly.

"Lanlan, you finally agreed to see us!"

The two elders of the Ning family were so excited that they didn't know what to say.

Mrs. Jiang quickly welcomed the person in.

"Come on, sit down and talk if you have anything to say."

Yi Lan sat opposite the two elders of the Ning family.

Madam Ning looked at her with tears in her eyes.

Censor Ning was at a loss.

Madam Jiang paused for a moment, looking around at these three people, and asked tentatively:

"Yilan, now that you are willing to meet the Ning family, do you believe that you are a child of the Ning family?"

Yi Lan nodded slightly.

Seeing Yi Lan nod, the two elders of the Ning family were so excited that they didn't know what to do.

"Then Lanlan...when will you go home?" Censor Ning asked cautiously.

Yi Lan saw how cautious he was and for some reason she felt like her heart was stabbed.

She no longer hesitated and said:

"Lord Ning, Madam Ning, I admit that you are my biological parents, but I am aloof by nature and don't like getting along with strangers. I hope you will give me some time. During this period, I would like to temporarily live in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion."

stranger......

Upon hearing this, the two elders of the Ning family couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in their hearts.

But they also knew that they couldn't push Yi Lan too hard.

Now she is willing to admit that their relationship is already very good. As for returning home to recognize her ancestors, let's talk about it later.

"If Lanlan is free, can she go home with her mother?"

Madam Ning spoke cautiously.

"You don't have to stay. Mother just wants you to see the place where you lived when you were a child..."

"Okay." Yi Lan replied softly.
