Baili Hongzhuang smiled faintly. "Family Head's invitation isn't a dragon's lair or a tiger's den. What do I have to be afraid of?"
She might have needed to be on guard against Lan Jingkuang and the others, but she didn't need to be on guard against Lan Hongtai.
Moreover, even if she was in a dangerous situation, it would not be easy to take her down.
Lan Hongtai sized up Baili Hongzhuang and felt that her every frown and smile was extremely similar to Lan Yunxiao and Mu Lingbing.
Just looking at her made him feel as if he was seeing his son and daughter-in-law again. It comforted him.
However, Lan Hongtai didn't dwell on this feeling. He said, "I invited Young Palace Master Baili here so late at night because this old man has a few questions to ask. I hope you can answer them."
Now that his cultivation in the Divine Pond of Ice was over, Lan Hongtai didn't want to keep guessing.
Baili Hongzhuang's smile didn't change. "Family Head Lan, please ask away."
In the next moment, Lan Hongtai's pitch-black eyes flashed with a sharp light. The kind and benevolent smile on his face disappeared and was replaced by an indescribable seriousness and sternness.
"Are you Lan Yixuan or not?"
Lan Hongtai didn't ask tactfully and went straight to the point.
His gaze was fixed on Baili Hongzhuang's face. He didn't want to miss the slightest change in Baili Hongzhuang's expression.
Even if he was sure that Baili Hongzhuang was Lan Yixuan, in fact, other than the similarity in appearance, he couldn't find any other clues that could link Baili Hongzhuang to Lan Yunxiao and Lan Yixuan.
If Baili Hongzhuang was Lan Yixuan, that would naturally be the best. But if Baili Hongzhuang was not Lan Yixuan, then her purpose would have to be carefully considered.
After all, he wouldn't allow anyone to destroy the Lan family's ancestral property!
Feeling the sudden burst of momentum from Lan Hongtai's body, Baili Hongzhuang was unmoved. She raised her head, her clear eyes looking straight into Lan Hongtai's eyes, not afraid at all.
"So what if I am? So what if I'm not? "
Baili Hongzhuang's voice was mild with a faint smile on her lips. She seemed to think that Lan Hongtai's question was ridiculous.
Looking at Baili Hongzhuang's fearless eyes, Lan Hongtai stared at her for a long time, and the atmosphere became stiff in an instant.
After a moment, Lan Hongtai withdrew his gaze and slowly said, "I understand."
His heart was filled with shock and amazement. He knew very well how sharp his gaze was.
Baili Hongzhuang was so young, but she was able to look him in the eye without showing any signs of weakness. This wasn't something an ordinary young person could do.
As the head of the Lan family, his aura had been formed over the years. Even Lan Qingyan couldn't speak under his burning gaze. But from beginning to end, Baili Hongzhuang's gaze was so calm that … it made him feel guilty.
He understood now.
He no longer doubted Baili Hongzhuang because he was certain that Baili Hongzhuang was Lan Yixuan.
Lan Yixuan had never owed the Lan family anything. Only the Lan family owed her. Therefore, she didn't feel guilty at all.
This made Lan Hongtai's heart tremble even more!
