However, halfway through Lan Wenjing's sigh, he suddenly noticed something amiss. He raised his eyelids and his gaze thoughtfully swept over the eyes and fingers of the elders on the screen, lingering for a while, especially on the constantly changing expressions on the faces of Lan Qiren and Lan Xichen.
Lan Wenjing, who seemed to have a guess in his heart, suddenly chuckled, and then a feeling of relief, self-blame and heartache rose up.
It turns out that even the usually meticulous and disciplined younger brother, and the upright and courteous eldest son, would one day put on an act in front of others to hide their true emotions—and the key is that they act so naturally and vividly!
But if they hadn't experienced so much, why would they need to change like this?
Before Lan Wenjing could finish his exclamation, the scene took another turn.
The scene was chaotic for a moment before being suppressed by the furious Lan Qiren and Lan Wangji, who seemed to have transformed into a frozen wasteland, and the tranquil and orderly daily life of the Gusu Lan Clan was restored to the impression of the world.
Looking around, Lan Qiren saw that the twenty-something people waiting at the mountain gate were all silent, standing obediently with their backs straight and hands at their sides, and the pent-up frustration in his heart finally dissipated.
He raised his hand to straighten his clothes, which were slightly disheveled from being surrounded by the crowd, before slowly speaking: "Wangji, take Wuxian and Young Master Wen with the Seventh Elder to the medicine hall to check if there are any problems with this reconstructed body. If there are none, take them back to their rooms to rest!"
"Young Master Wei, Sanren, and Miss Wen, please return to Hantan Cave with the disciples to recuperate. The spiritual energy there is abundant and quiet, and it also has the array set up by Wuxian, which is suitable for you to recuperate your souls. After all, you, especially Young Master Wei, Sanren, and Miss Wen, have expended a lot of energy recently!"
Before Zezang and the other souls, who were enjoying the show, could refuse, Lan Qiren turned to Lan Xichen beside him and said, "As for Xichen, come with me to the Cold Chamber and see what kind of important matter has left our Lan Clan leader and the elders helpless, so that only you and I, uncle and nephew, can handle it!"
When he mentioned "the Lan Clan Sect Leader and all the elders," his tone suddenly became more serious, implying that he was beyond redemption. This showed that he was quite dissatisfied with Lan Jingyi's handling of the matter and felt that he still needed to learn more!
Upon hearing that Lan Qiren and Lan Xichen were going to handle Lan Clan's internal affairs and instruct the new sect leader, Zezang and the other souls immediately fell silent. Wei Wuxian, who had originally wanted to act spoiled and not go to the pharmacy for a consultation, dared not utter another sound. He lowered his head awkwardly, touched his nose, and extinguished the desire to go out and have fun. He obediently let Lan Wangji hold his hand.
"Alright~~, you little stick-in-the-mud, go ahead and do what you need to do, is it necessary to be so serious?" Cangse Sanren muttered unconvinced, half of his body hiding behind Wei Changze.
He had only said a few words when Lan Qiren glared at him, causing Cangse Sanren to pause abruptly and change the subject.
"Alright, alright, I'll obey your orders and return to Cold Pool Cave immediately! As for having a disciple lead the way, there's no need. We've been in this Cloud Recesses for so long, we know how to get there with our eyes closed!"
"Brother Changze, Xiao Chaoyan, and Xiao Wenqing, take your people and come with me quickly!" After saying that, she took Wei Changze's hand and tried to float towards the Cold Pool Cave.
"Mother~~ What about me?" Wei Wuxian, who had been ignored, leaned his head on Lan Wangji's shoulder, puffed out his cheeks, and looked at Cangse Sanren with his peach blossom eyes glistening with tears.
"(⊙o⊙)…!" Cangse Sanren froze, then pulled the person away quickly, leaving only the words, "Aying, you have Wangji with you, that's enough. Mother and Father are tired and need to rest!!!"
A long string of souls, covering their mouths and chuckling, floated behind them...
"Lan Zhan..." Wei Wuxian looked up at Lan Wangji in disbelief, pointing his finger at his nose as he was about to complain pitifully, when he heard Lan Qiren cough loudly from the side.
Immediately, Wei Wuxian frowned and pulled Lan Wangji to bow to Lan Qiren and the others. Then, he ran away as fast as he could, until he felt that he was far enough away and safe enough, before he opened his mouth and vomited out the "grievances" he had been holding back.
Lan Qiren ignored the faint sound of Wei Wuxian's voice in his ear, nodded to Lan Xichen, suppressed his anger, and walked away with a flick of his sleeve.
Lan Xichen's expression also turned cold at the same time. Following him, the elders who were left behind looked at each other for a moment, and then dispersed one after another with their own goals.
In an instant, the once bustling and noisy mountain gate was left with only two disciples on duty, who stood silently and solemnly at their posts.
Only then did Wei Chaoyan realize something was wrong. "Wait, were Uncle Lan and Brother Lan putting on an act? Why did they subtly send Aying, me, my adoptive parents, and the others away?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Ying's eyes darted around, and a flash of inspiration struck him, as if he had come up with an answer. However, the answer that was about to be revealed left him feeling as if he had a fishbone stuck in his throat, unable to utter it freely.
“Jiang Clan, Jin Clan!” Lan Zhan replied coldly.
Qi Ye rubbed his temples and said in a complicated tone, "The only people who could make Uncle Lan and the others cross the line and pretend to be something they didn't mean just to get Second Brother and the others away without leaving a trace are Jiang Wanyin, the sect leader of Yunmeng Jiang Clan at the time, and Jin Ling, the new sect leader of Lanling Jin Clan!"
"Moreover, their situation must be bad, otherwise the elders and Uncle Lan wouldn't have gone to such lengths to isolate Second Brother and the others!"
“That makes sense!” Wei Chaoyan agreed wholeheartedly.
