Fu Sheng looked at Lan Huaixi in surprise. She didn’t understand why Lan Huaixi lied for her.

Noticing Fu Sheng's gaze, Lan Huaixi secretly looked at her and then turned away.

"It's Xiao Ye again!" Lan Huaiyu did not doubt Lan Huaixi's words. His face was gloomy. After what happened today, he and Xiao Ye were completely enemies.

The news of Lan Huaiyu and Xiao Ye's fight in the imperial capital soon spread to the Lan family.

Lan Huaiyu's communicator beeped. After Lan Huaiyu answered the call, he was greeted by the Lan family's patriarch's scolding: "Asshole! How did you provoke Xiao Ye?!"

Lan Huaiyu pursed his lips, but before he could speak, the head of the Lan family said, "I'll give you one stick of incense, and be back immediately!"

After saying that, the other party cut off the connection without even waiting for Lan Huaiyu's reply.

Lan Huaiyu held the communicator and stood there for a long time. Lan Huaixi looked distressed: "Brother, I will explain to father..."

Lan Huaiyu shook his head, put away the communicator, and smiled, but the smile was a little far-fetched: "We can't go shopping today, let's go back quickly."

After saying that, Lan Huaiyu's eyes fell on Fu Sheng: "Brother Jia, shall we go together?"

Fu Sheng knew that he had missed the best opportunity to escape and there was no way to leave now. Hearing this, he could only pretend to be obedient: "Okay."

After all, without the constraints of the survival chain, her situation is much better.

The three of them rode in a carriage and galloped back to the Lan family.

As one of the four great families, the Lan family has a heritage of thousands of years. Fu Sheng originally thought that the Lan family would be a mansion, but after arriving, he found that it covered a very large area, and it was not an exaggeration to call it a domain.

There are many disciples in the Lan family. After coming down from the Lan family’s gate, there are interconnected buildings along the way, which are all the residences of the Lan family’s disciples.

When passing by a field, Fu Sheng also saw hundreds of disciples wearing Lan family uniforms practicing martial arts.

It took a quarter of an hour just to walk from the gate to the main hall of the Lan family.

Arriving at the entrance of the main pavilion, Lan Huaiyu stopped and tidied his appearance and clothes. He looked so meticulous that he did not look like a child who was about to meet his father.

After finishing the tidying up, Lan Huaiyu led Lan Huaixi and Fu Sheng inside.

The person sitting in the main seat is Lan Chengtian, the patriarch of the Lan family. He is probably in his forties or fifties, but he has a handsome face, an imposing bearing, a calm and capable temperament, and a mature charm that is unique to middle-aged men.

As soon as Fu Sheng followed Lan Huaiyu into the room, he felt the somewhat depressing atmosphere inside. On the side seats next to Lan Chengtian sat two elderly men who looked a little older, and on the seats below sat middle-aged men and women of the same age as him.

Glancing around, there were probably about twenty to thirty people sitting in the main room.

Fu Sheng even met two familiar faces inside - Lan Ze and Lan Yang.

However, the two men did not sit down, but stood behind a man.

Fu Sheng had changed her appearance, so naturally the two of them didn't recognize her. But when they saw her following Lan Huaiyu in, they were a little curious.

"I pay my respects to my father, the first elder, the second elder... uncle and aunt..." Lan Huaiyu paid his respects to several people in a row, calling out these titles one after another.

Lan Huaixi stood quietly behind Lan Huaiyu, bowed slightly and said nothing.

"Xier, you are not feeling well. Don't stand there. Come and sit next to me." Lan Chengtian ignored Lan Huaiyu. After Lan Huaiyu finished speaking, he waved to Lan Huaixi behind him with a gentle tone.

Lan Huaixi paused, glanced at Lan Huaiyu secretly, lowered her eyes and said, "Yes."

Then he walked to the chair next to Lan Chengtian and sat down.

Lan Huaiyu still bowed and saluted until Lan Huaixi sat down. Then Lan Chengtian said to Lan Huaiyu indifferently, "Stand up."

"Tell me, why didn't you go back to the palace after you arrived in the imperial capital, but went to Duchen Pavilion and fought with Xiao He's son?" Lan Chengtian questioned, "Is it because I haven't disciplined you for too long that you have become more daring?"

"Dad, I was the one who asked my brother to take me to Duchen Pavilion. It was also because of me that he and..."

Lan Huaixi tried to explain, but before she could finish, she was interrupted by Lan Chengtian: "Xi'er, you don't have to plead for this rebellious son."

He looked at Lan Huaiyu, who lowered his head and said nothing in the middle of the hall, and said sternly: "When you and Xiao Ye fought, did you ever think about the other party's identity, or your own identity?! I think you are becoming more and more perverse!!"

Fu Sheng was watching on the side, dumbfounded.

Even though she was a bystander, she could see Lan Chengtian's obvious favoritism, which was completely different from his attitude towards Lan Huaixi and Lan Huaiyu.

She felt that Lan Huaiyu did not come to the main hall of the Lan family, but to the government court.

Why is the head of the Lan family acting like he is interrogating a criminal?

Perhaps Lan Chengtian was too angry, so the old man sitting on the right tried to persuade him, "Patriarch, calm down. The young master just came out of the secret realm, so it's normal for him to want to relax after returning to the imperial capital. Moreover, young people are full of youthful vigor. The patriarch is not unaware of Xiao Ye's reputation outside. If he intends to provoke you and the young master keeps silent, wouldn't that make people look down on our Lan family?"

"What's more, the young master is only in the early stage of Yuanying, but he is not inferior to four people in the spirit transformation stage. Xiao He should be embarrassed. Our Lan family should be proud of the young master."

It was unknown what the old man's identity was. Lan Chengtian seemed to respect him. After listening, his anger subsided a little. He looked at Lan Huaiyu and said, "You said before that although you didn't get the strange fire, you also gained a lot. Are you referring to the sword?"

They asked someone for details about the fight between Lan Huaiyu and the four people in the God Transformation Stage, and learned that Lan Huaiyu relied on a sword.

"Yes." Lan Huaiyu said, "I got the sword in the secret realm. It is a divine sword. I have already signed the contract."

After saying that, Lan Huaiyu's mind moved slightly, and Dawn appeared from behind him. The moment he appeared, sword energy overflowed, and everyone present felt his powerful might.

"What an amazing sword!" Lan Yang watched from afar and praised in a low voice.

Dawn is icy blue all over, and it emits a cool breeze when it is unsheathed, like a divine sword born on the top of a snowy mountain. It is truly rare to find it in the secret realm of strange fire.

It was also the first time that Fu Sheng saw Poxiao's true appearance at such a close distance. Before, Poxiao had always transformed into sword shadows and surrounded her, so even if she saw him for a moment, it was just a quick glance.

As a magical weapon in the novel whose power is second only to the protagonist's natal sword, Lan Huaiyu has achieved countless cross-level combat missions with the help of Dawn.

"It's a good sword." Lan Chengtian couldn't help but admire it.

His attitude towards Lan Huaiyu softened somewhat and he asked, "Anything else you gained?"

In the novel, what Lan Huaiyu gained in the secret realm was the Divine Sword Dawn, but Fu Sheng had seen the formation set up by the male protagonist and knew that it was different from the novel. This time, Lan Huaiyu also got the Truth-revealing Mirror.

Lan Huaiyu seemed to want to talk about this, but just as he was about to speak, Lan Huaixi, who was sitting on top, answered first: "No, my brother told me on the way that he got this magic sword."
