Lanjia, reception hall
The current generation patriarch Lan Feng, Lan Keer's uncle has a ruddy complexion, and his eyes are faint. There is no such thing as a serious illness as stated in the transmission. He looks healthy.
Lan Ke'er opened her mouth slightly, her large crystal eyes were full of surprise and puzzlement, and muttered: "Uncle, are you... not sick?"
Lan Feng looked at the only bloodline left by his younger brother, an inexplicable look flashed in his eyes, and he sighed insignificantly, avoiding Lan Keer’s doubts, and said to her:
"Keer, how are you studying at the Star Academy? Can you improve your cultivation?"
Lan Keer replied blankly: "I'm sorry, uncle, I..."
"I don't need you to say that I also know that your cultivation level still hasn't broken through. It is very difficult to reach the peak of the Magister at your current cultivation speed. I don't know how long it will take..."
Lan Feng seemed to know Lan Keer's cultivation very well, and said unceremoniously.
Lan Ke'er's eyes were dim. She knew that the uncle was right. In the lower grade school district of the Star Academy, her talents and cultivation are just ordinary, not very good. She wants to break through the realm of the wizard and rise to the upper grade. It will take a long time for the school districts, let alone reach the realm of the magister and graduate successfully.
Blue Wind slowly walked to the main seat of the hall, and his right hand stroked the dark red seat, with a look of nostalgia:
"I think our Lan family was also a powerful family that was able to fight against the three major families. The industry in Xingyue City is several times more than it is now. How beautiful? But now..."
"A while ago, the Huang family once again suppressed our Lan family, and the family's 17 properties in Xingyue City were forced to sell and bought three places for 10,000 gold coins!"
"Hehe, ten thousand gold coins! Which one of our industries is not worth a million? It's so deceiving!"
Having said this, a ray of anger suddenly flashed in Lan Feng’s eyes, and he slapped the table and chair fiercely, and the powerful force involuntarily dissipated, striking a palm print on the high-quality Huang Yuan wooden table and chairs. Half an inch deep!
It's not the first time that Lan Ke'er heard her uncle talk about the difficulties of the family, but this time it was even more exaggerated than before. Those 17 properties were the economic lifeline of the Lan family's foothold in Xingyue City. Snatched three places?
In the eyes of everyone in the Lan family, that was taken by the Huang family. The 10,000 gold coins they gave was a joke. The total value of the three properties totaled more than 2 million. Which one of the brains would sell 10,000 gold coins. Out?
"Huang Jiaqiang buys and sells. Although our Lan family is angry, we dare not say why? Isn't it because our Lan family is weak? If your fists are not big enough, you have no right to speak!"
Lan Feng almost gritted his teeth and said this sentence, a complex light of unwillingness and helplessness in his eyes.
Lan Keer listened to the uncle's words in a daze, and a trace of sorrow appeared in his eyes. A cute and adorable little face also lost a smile at this time, instead, there was more sadness, which seemed very pitiful.
"Grabbing my three properties is only the first step, and the Huang family is expected to take a real shot at us. With the strength of the Huang family, this time our Lan family is in danger!"
Lan Feng finished speaking indignantly, glanced at Lan Kerr secretly, and said quietly in his heart: "Ker, don't blame the uncle, this is the only way..."
"Do you know why I lied to you to come back with a serious illness?"
After Lan Feng explained the difficulties of the family to Lan Ke'er, her voice suddenly changed, returning to Lan Ke'er's question just now, and asked suddenly.
Lan Ke'er suddenly returned to his senses, looked at his uncle, and said blankly: "Why... why?"
My own cultivation level is still shallow, and I won’t be able to help much when I come back...
Lan Feng looked at Lan Ke'er with weird eyes, and said quietly: "Ker, it's up to you to survive this family crisis..."
"I?"
Lan Kerr looked blank, wondering what he could do to help the family through the crisis.
Lan Feng looked at Lan Ke'er with scorching eyes, the corners of his mouth moved, just about to speak, suddenly, a guard came in outside the door, reporting:
"Patriarch, Young Master Lan Yan is here..."
Blue Wind heard this, and stood up with a squeak, with a pleasant surprise on his face, and said: "Please come in quickly..."
"Oh, Patriarch Lan needn't be so polite, don't be offended by this son without asking the patriarch..."
was talking, a young man's voice with a smile came from outside the door, and there was a hint of arrogance in his tone.
Looking up, I saw a few figures coming in outside. The young man walking in front looked like he was only in his twenties. He was tall and handsome, with a pair of jet-black eyes with blue flames shining amazingly. The edge.
The young man was followed by two men in black clothes. There were flame patterns on the black clothes, emitting a faint scorching breath.
Holding an iron fan, the young man walked into the Lan Family's reception hall on his own. His eyes swept over the two people present. Finally, he skipped the blue wind as the patriarch, and instead looked to the side with a blank face. Ke'er, a faint blue flame suddenly flashed across a pair of black pupils, and he secretly praised in his heart: What a delicate and lovely beauty...
I saw Lan Ke'er standing there a little at a loss, her big bright eyes had a cute look, her bare skin was crystal clear as jade, her petite and exquisite body was well-developed, and her arrogant top It's not like a sixteen-year-old girl with no flaws in her body, she can be called a childish look!
Such a beautiful girl is extremely rare even in the Star Academy where the mainland talents gather, let alone the Star Moon City on the side.
The young man's eyes gleamed, as if he had seen a treasure in the world, the iron fan in his hand opened with a bang, and he fanned slightly, and said with a smile: "Okay, very good..."
Lan Kerr looked at the strange man at a loss, feeling his presumptuous gaze, a trace of disgust rose in his heart for no reason, and quietly stepped back.
Who is this person, always looking at me with this kind of eyes, it’s really annoying...
Lan Feng smiled on his face, came to the young man, lowered his head slightly and said, "Master Lan Yan didn't say anything to me before he came, so we might as well welcome him at the door in advance..."
The patriarch of Blue Wind showed an almost flattering expression facing this so-called Young Master Lan Yan. He was extremely respectful. Such an attitude made Lan Ke'er unbelievable. What is going on?
"Ke'er, this is the young master of the Black Fire Sect-Young Master Lan Yan, don't you hurry up to salute?"
Lan Feng turned his head and looked at Lan Ke'er, his face no longer had the majesty it had before, and some were just respectful to Master Lan Yan.
Black Fire Cult?
Lan Kerr was stunned. As a native born in Xingyue City, how could she not know the name of the Black Fire Sect?
This is not a force comparable to those of the three major families in Xingyue City. Black Fire Cult is an extremely famous force in the southeast of the Xingyu Empire, not just Xingyue City, even if it is one of the top ten cities of courage. City, the Black Fire Sect is also one of the top powers!
In the Star Empire, if the country is divided into four regions, southeast, northwest and northwest, then the city of courage is located in the southeast. Under its rule, there are more than a dozen ordinary cities and hundreds of various forces. The top of these power pyramids!
The entire southeast is probably the City Lord's Mansion, the City of Courage, which is one of the top ten cities.
It is rumored that the Black Fire Sect was established for hundreds of years. There are three sanctuary-level powerhouses in the teaching, more than ten half-step sanctuary-level masters, hundreds of Wuzun magisters, and countless ordinary congregations. It is powerful!
A small group of such forces can easily destroy the three major families in Xingyue City, not to mention the little Lan family. Lan Keer really can't figure out why the Black Fire Cult came to the Lan family?
"Hehe, Patriarch Lan doesn't need to be polite, but my sister just didn't react for a while, she will understand when she passes the door..."
Young Master Lan Yan smiled and stopped Lan Feng, and he looked at Lan Keer with satisfaction.
"Pass... pass the door?"
Lan Kerr's eyes widened, looked at Young Master Lan Yan in horror, turned to look at Lan Feng, and asked in a daze, "Uncle, what does this... mean..."
Lan Feng looked at Lan Ke'er, with a complex expression in his eyes, fleeting, and said in a deep voice:
"Do you remember when you came back to Lan's house a month ago?"
Lan Kerr nodded dizzyly, "Remember, but I haven't seen him..."
Blue Wind continued: "You did not see Young Master Lan Yan at that time, but when you left, Young Master Lan Yan who travelled here happened to see you and loved you very much. Soon he came to propose marriage..."
"……"
Lan Kerr bit her lip lightly, with a trace of sadness in her eyes, and said quietly: "Then uncle, you agree?"
Lan Feng twitched, and said solemnly: "I agree. Young Master Lan Yan is the only son of the Black Fire cult leader. He is noble. He has reached the realm of magister at a young age. He is talented and sincere. He is the best of you. The home of..."
After a pause, Blue Wind continued: "And Young Master Lan Yan promised that once you pass the door, you will unconditionally support our Lan Family. At that time, not only the Huang Family, but our Lan Family will surpass the three major families and become the Star Moon City. The biggest family! Guangzong Yaozu!"
Lan Keer listened to Lan Feng’s excited words expressionlessly, his cute little face was full of sadness, and said lightly:
"I'm afraid the second reason is what you care about the most, right?"
Lan Feng's eyes flickered, and he didn't speak.
And the painful color on Lan Ke'er's face became more intense, and anger suddenly rose in the eyes looking at Lan Feng, changing his previous weakness, gritted his teeth and shouted:
"What about me? Have you ever thought about my thoughts? Have you ever thought about my happiness? Even I have heard of the fame of this Young Master Lan Yan. He does not have ten wives but eight, right? Is there a good end? You just threw your niece into the fire pit? Are you worthy of my father?"
The shrill shouts of the girl resounded throughout the hall, and the helplessness and pain in the voice moved many guards outside the door.
Lan Feng's face was blue and white, the weather was uncertain, and he said indifferently: "As a child of the Lan family, sacrifice for the family in times of crisis is a responsibility that you cannot shirk, otherwise, what is the use of the family to support you?
The smile on Young Master Lan Yan's face gradually disappeared, and a gloomy gleam of eyes flashed through his eyes. It seems that this beauty is not too obedient, so he has to be trained after the door!
"Patriarch Lan, I have already sent the bride price, can I take this person away?"
Lan Feng's indifferent expression suddenly disappeared, and he changed back to a respectful face, and quickly said: "Of course, it's okay, everything is as good as Young Master Lan Yan is happy. It's just... I said it before..."
Young Master Lan Yan was expressionless, and said lightly: "Don't worry, I won't be fooled by you. In a few days, I will send an elite team to Star Moon City to help you smooth the three big families..."
Hearing this Lan Feng smiled with joy, completely ignoring his painful niece.
Lan Ke'er lost the previous agility in his big eyes. There was a dead silence, and the pain in his heart was indescribable. The family members he was determined to protect had sold himself like this, so what is the meaning of his long-term efforts?
If grief is greater than death, Lan Keer's heart is full of pain at this time. She doesn't know the meaning of her life or what she is living for!
"Black 3, Black 4, go and bring my eleventh wife..."
Young Master Lan Yan no longer pretends, a trace of pride appeared on his face, raising his hand to the desperate Lan Kerr, and indifferently ordered.
"Yes, master!"
The two black-clothed men behind Young Master Lan Yan responded respectfully and stepped forward together. The hot breath burst out, and the terrifying fighting force filled the audience, so that Lan Feng's face was pale, and they turned out to be two half-step sanctuary. Powerful!
Hei San took a few steps forward, with a wave of vindictiveness in one hand, and grabbed Lan Kerr, who was standing there. The two and a half steps of the sanctuary-level powerhouse's tyrannical coercion was where Lan Kerr could resist. of? Can't move at all.
Lan Ke'er looked at the hand that she grabbed towards her, her deadly heart fluctuated slightly, and a smiling teenager suddenly appeared in her heart, silently saying: Brother Feng, I'm sorry, Ke'er probably can't drink and talk to you anymore. Up...
In the lobby, Hei San's hand was a little bit towards Lan Ke'er. When he saw that he was about to catch her, the sudden change appeared:
"boom!"
There was a loud noise, and the door outside the hall was kicked to pieces. A young man walked in slowly, a pair of blood-red eyes exuding a surprisingly murderous aura!
"With me, I see who of you dare to move her!"
