"So you had your plan all along. That's why you asked me to persuade my sister to come here for training no matter what methods I used. It seems that your original intention was my sister." Lan Yanzhi was a little angry.
"Yes, that was my original intention from the beginning. It was her. Long ago, my intention was her. The moment I saw her for the first time at the Four Seas Academy, I fell in love with her."
"During these past four years, I have treated her like a deity. During the training, I always stood in front of her to protect her from danger. When there was something good, I would always be the first to give it to her so that she could experience it."
"But what about her? She never looked at me directly, and even didn't consider me a friend. Even when I became one of the three top geniuses alongside her, she still remained the same."
"I started to love her, but now I hate her. I don't want her to like me. I only want her!!!" Wang Long was somewhat frantic and his anger was overwhelming.
"No, I can't help you. I can't harm my sister like this." Seeing Wang Long's state like this, Lan Yanzhi firmly shook her head.
"What did you say? Say it again?" Seeing that Lan Yanzhi refused him, Wang Long's face changed drastically, and two cold glares shot out from his eyes.
"I, I said I can't help you and harm my sister like this. Although she is strict with me usually, she is still my sister. I... uh~~~"
Lan Yanzhi hadn't finished speaking when Wang Long's big hand, like an eagle's claw, firmly gripped her neck and threatened, "You actually dared to refuse me? You forgot who gave you the cultivation resources when your sister didn't provide them? You forgot who was helping you when your sister didn't assist you in refining the resources?"
"Are you going to not help me? If you don't help me, I'll kill you right now."
"Uh~~~~~~" At this moment, Lan Yanzhi's face turned red and she was on the verge of suffocating. She was desperately waving her hands, signaling for Wang Long to let go.
"Tell me, will you help me or not?" Wang Long released his hand and asked again in a harsh tone.
"Choke cough" At this moment, Lan Yanzhi first had a violent coughing fit, her face not only showing pain but also fear. She finally felt how evil Wang Long was. Although she regretted being greedy and colluding with Wang Long in the past, she now had no way back. Because she knew that Wang Long was definitely someone who could say and do things. She finally had to compromise and said, "Help, I'll help you."
"Hahaha, that's good then." Seeing Lan Yanzhi agree, Wang Long burst into wild laughter.
"Damn it, these two are really freaks." Although the hidden barrier could block sound, Chu Feng heard everything clearly. He didn't pity Lan Yanzhi, but he had to feel sorry for Lan Xi. Although he had no connection with Lan Xi, from the way Lan Xi treated Su Ruo and others before, Chu Feng could tell that Lan Xi and Lan Yanzhi were completely different people. It could be said that Lan Xi was a person with outstanding talent, outstanding appearance, and no arrogance.
But as the saying goes, not involved doesn't mean not caring. Although Lan Xi had a good character, this was still Lan Xi's own business. Chu Feng was now busy with important matters and he wasn't going to casually intervene in such matters.
Moreover, even if he was involved, he couldn't do it. If he was to be honest, Lan Xi definitely wouldn't believe it. And it would be easy for Lan Yanzhi to bite back.
If they followed Lan Xi and her sisters and waited until Lan Yanzhi was going to harm Lan Xi, then intervened to stop her and point out Lan Yanzhi's mistake, it would waste time.
Because Chu Feng didn't know when Lan Yanzhi would act, and most importantly, Chu Feng didn't have the time. So Chu Feng just regarded it as a farce and didn't get involved. He turned around and left. After a night of searching, Chu Feng had a decent result. He discovered a total of three array eyes, but only one was activated. To prevent Su Ruo and others from worrying, Chu Feng had to return to the thousand-year-old city. He wanted to let them know that not only were they safe now, but they had also made a good discovery. Even in the depths of the jungle, nothing could harm him.
When Chu Feng returned to the city, he saw a special fierce beast. The beast had thick steel armor on its outside, but inside the steel armor was tender and delicious meat. Chu Feng thought that since Su Ruo and others were waiting in the city, they would be idle anyway.
Rather than eating dry and tasteless food, it would be better to prepare some good ingredients for them and let them cook some delicious dishes by themselves. After all, he knew now that Su Ruo really had a good cooking skill.
So, Chu Feng casually killed this fierce beast and dragged it towards the thousand-year-old city.
When Chu Feng returned to the city, it was already bright in the sky, but they hadn't entered the city yet. Chu Feng noticed a graceful figure from afar.
It was Lan Xi. Lan Xi was standing on the top of a building, looking around. When she saw Chu Feng, she smiled slightly and nodded politely before turning her gaze towards the distance.
Although Lan Xi seemed calm on the surface, Chu Feng could see that she was worried from her gentle gaze.
Chu Feng knew what she was worried about. It must be her sister Lan Yanzhi.
However, if Lan Xi knew that her sister was enjoying herself with Wang Long at the moment and had planned how to deceive her, what mood would she be in?
At this moment, Chu Feng felt a bit uncomfortable. He admitted that he truly felt some sympathy for this poor woman, Lan Xi.
Thinking of this, Chu Feng put down the carcass of the fierce beast in his hands and then jumped continuously, finally landing beside Lan Xi, smiling and saying, "You got up so early. Did you rest well?"
"Compared to you, I must have rested better."
"Are you too desperate? You haven't returned for a whole night and don't you worry about encountering dangers?" Lan Xi smiled. She smiled very kindly, without malice or eagerness. It was like treating an ordinary friend with a touch of concern.
"Living in the world of obstacles, dangers are inevitable at any time and anywhere. But I have always been cautious. As long as I'm cautious enough, any danger can be avoided."
"Lan Xi, there are countless dangers in this jungle. Sometimes it's not just medicinal herbs or fierce beasts, but even people."
"I advise you to be as cautious as I am. Even the closest people sometimes need to be on guard."
After saying this, Chu Feng leaped forward, landed on the ground, dragging the fierce beast, and headed towards the depths of the city.
Only Lan Xi stood still, watching Chu Feng's back. Her gaze was somewhat hazy. Then she pursed her lips and turned her gaze towards the distance again, carefully observing. After Chu Feng left, her gaze showed even stronger worry.
After Chu Feng entered the ancient city, he opened his spiritual energy and sensed around.
He discovered Liu Zhenwei and Wang Yue and others, but failed to sense Wang Long and Lan Yanzhi. As expected, they hadn't returned all night. Lan Xi was indeed waiting for Lan Yanzhi.
Finally, Chu Feng arrived at the place where he had personally selected for Su Ruo and others to rest when he left.
However, when Chu Feng approached, he unexpectedly found that Jiang Wushang was cooking food in the small square outside the palace, and the smell was quite delicious.
