Chapter 1908 “Return to the Lan House (6)”


    Bai Xiachen’s eyebrow gently formed a frown at the voice, but since he saw Bai Yan didn’t pay the guy any heed, he didn’t either and continued to follow.


    “Hey, I’m talking to you, did you hear that? What’s wrong with you…”


    The young man in line saw that he’s being ignored and spoke again with more vigor in his angry voice. However, right as he’s about to call Bai Yan out some more, the guards to the Lan House noticed themotion and promptly came over.


    “Lady Bai Yan, you’re back!” The guard was full of excitement that he nearly stuttered in his words, “Do you need me to inform the housemaster?”


    “No, I’ll just go in on my own.” Bai Yan dismissively shakes her head and walked in without turning around.


    The young man stared nkly at the woman in red without noticing she had already gone inside. He’s stiff and awkward when asking the doormen: “This, brother, just now thatdy…. whichdy of the Lan House is she?”


    The guard looked back at the youth, his face unfriendly to say the least: “What do you think?”


    “Lady…. Bai Yan? How many Bai Yan was there in the Lan House?” The youth’s face got palish white, his teeth beginning to tter due to the intense fear filling his veins.


    “Haha, aside from the adopted daughter of the Lan House, who else would I address so politely? You really got some nerve. How dare you behave rudely before Her Ladyship. I bet no one in the entirend dares to do what you just did.”


    The youth went numb as he copsed to the ground.


    Mrs. Lan Yue’s adopted daughter, the disciple of the Holy Land’s elders, the granddaughter of the Medicine Sect and Fairy House…..


    God, I dared to have the Lan House’sdy go to the back and line up?


    Others areing to their senses by then. With sympathetic eyes toward the youth, they wanted to both snicker andugh at the same time.


    Thank goodness we didn’t speak up earlier, otherwise we will be in the same shoe as him. He would be lucky if he’s not hated by the Lan House….


    The youth’s face was getting whiter and whiter after understanding the blunder he’s incurred. Not daring to stay any longer, he quickly climbs up from the ground and fled with the tail behind his legs.


    “Guard Brother, when will Old Lord Lan be willing to meet guests?” Only after that fleeing figure disappear from view did a person ask.


    “Oh, our housemaster is feeling unwell so we’re not meeting guests.”


    Unwell? When did a cultivator be so frail? Who you kidding?


    But no one dared to question the doorman’s word and continued: “That’s alright, we can keep waiting here until Old Lord Lan is well and willing to meet us. Don’t mind us Mr. Guard, we will be fine right here.”


    These people are all famous individuals on these parts, respected and strong in their own rights. Yet in front of a lowly doorman, they had no choice but to keep a friendly attitude without looking weak.


    As the old saying goes, once a person rises, all the cronies beneath them gets it too.


    ……


    Lan House inner courtyard.


    Di Ling Yan’s bright little eyes curiously scanned the ce with shining stars shing from within: “Mother, is this Great-Grandfather Lan’s home?”


    “Yes,” Bai Yan warmly caresses her daughter’s hair, “This is where your Grandmother Lan Yue grew it from. I was adopted by her during my childhood and was greatly loved. Her side of the family too, they’re all wonderful people who wouldn’t yield to power and evil. During my darkest time, they are the ones who stood by my side so don’t forget this bond.” That said, a strong powerful emotion swirls out from within those eyes. Bai Yan couldn’t stop staring at the familiar grounds that gave her such good memories.
