From the information he had, he had a rough idea of what had happened. The Lan family must have cooperated with the alchemy clan of Qingyang city, the Zhang family. The Zhang family had used this opportunity to make things difficult for Lan Xingmeng, which led to Leng Xingmeng's miserable state.
For the sake of benefits, they had even cast aside their familial ties, cruelly abandoning their sister here to fend for herself. How could he allow Lan Xingmeng to return to the Lan family with such heartless people?
"All of you, piss off. Don't force my hand."
Xiao Yang waved his hand and released the terrifying cultivation of a third level Martial Ancestor, wanting to force them back.
At the same time, Li Qinghe and Head Instructor Wang also stepped forward and got into a fighting stance.
The hidden guards of the Lan family all stepped forward and blocked in front of them, preventing Xiao Yang from attacking.
The first boss waved his hand and released his cultivation of a fourth level Martial Ancestor, easily nullifying the power.
Lan Xingmeng saw how they were about to attack and could not help but panic. She said, "Everyone stop."
No one attacked. They only looked at her calmly and listened to her opinion.
"You can leave. I've only just met my son, so we obviously need to catch up." Lan Xingmeng waved her hand, dismissing the three of them.
The three bosses' faces were filled with bitterness. They felt even more ashamed and blamed themselves. Who told them to be blind? They had actually agreed to the conditions of the Zhang family and made things difficult for their sister.
With no other choice, they could only retreat for now.
Lan Jiaoye's face was filled with unwillingness. She ran over to Lan Xingmeng in a hurry and grabbed her hand affectionately. She said in a pitiful tone, "Auntie, I've been out of the manor for the past few days, so I don't know what happened to you. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn't have allowed them to do this. Can you forgive me? Auntie loves me the most."
Lan Xingmeng rubbed Lan Jiaoye's head dotingly and smiled. "Yes, yes. Jiaoye is the most filial."
Xiao Yang saw how they were behaving and was unable to drive Lan Jiaoye away.
Perhaps he had gone overboard before. He actually misunderstood Lan Jiaoye and made a move on her.
If Lan Jiaoye knew about it, then attacking her would not be excessive at all. However, if Lan Jiaoye did not know about it, then attacking her was going too far.
From the looks of it, Lan Jiaoye really didn't know anything.
After receiving Lan Xingmeng's affection, Lan Jiaoye's expression became even more proud. She laughed and said, "Auntie, you don't know, but I've already had a room at Yuelai Inn. It's right next to cousin's. We met on the first day cousin entered the city."
"Is that so? Then it seems like your fate isn't shallow," Lan Xingmeng teased as she looked at Lan Jiaoye.
The group headed in the direction of the Pleasant Arrival Inn.
Along the way, the Lan family sent people to protect them. However, this protection was symbolic because Xiao Yang, Li Qinghe, and Chief Instructor Wang were there. Who would dare to court death?
When they were about to reach the Pleasant Arrival Inn, Xiao Yang said indifferently, "You guys can go do your own things. I'll stay at the Pleasant Arrival Inn for now. We'll make plans after that."
Chief Instructor Wang said, "I'll go back and resign. I hope everything goes smoothly."
Li Qinghe said, "I have nothing to do at the moment, so I might as well stay at Yuelai Inn for the time being."
Chief Instructor Wang left.
The remaining people stayed at the Pleasant Arrival Inn.
Night fell.
Xiao Yang accompanied Lan Xingmeng, enjoying the warmth of a mother and son family. Xiao Man played the role of a maid, serving tea to the side. Lan Jiaoye lazily leaned against Lan Xingmeng, looking affectionate.
The group chatted and laughed until several hours later. Finally, Xiao Yang said his goodbyes and went to sleep.
After he walked out of the room, Lan Jiaoye followed him out.
When Xiao Yang saw her, he immediately felt that something was wrong. After all, he misunderstood her today and even hit her.
He hurriedly quickened his pace, wanting to return to his room as soon as possible so that he could escape.
However, before he could take more than a few steps, he immediately heard Lan Jiaoye's angry voice, "Xiao Yang, stop right there."
"I still haven't settled today's debt with you. You dared to hit me. I'll remember this." Lan Jiaoye said as she walked towards Xiao Yang. Her face was covered in a layer of frost.
After all, she was the seventh young miss of the Lan family, the precious daughter that everyone doted on. No one had ever dared to humiliate her like this. Xiao Yang was the first. Of course, she would remember this clearly.
Xiao Yang's forehead was immediately covered in sweat. He knew that this bastard coming out was definitely up to no good.
Helplessly, he could only stop in his tracks. When Lan Jiaoye arrived in front of him, he heard Lan Jiaoye say, "Xiao Yang, don't tell me you have nothing to say?"
Xiao Yang's head was about to explode. What explanation could he have? If it was a misunderstanding, then it was a misunderstanding. Could it be that he could go back in time?
"I …"
He hesitated, not knowing what to say.
"Tell me, did you hit me?" Lan Xingmeng asked proudly, looking as if she was in the right.
"Yes." Xiao Yang's reply was somewhat weak. There was nothing he could do about it. He did bully her in the first place, so there was nothing he couldn't admit.
Lan Xingmeng became even more proud, as if she was standing on the moral high ground. She revealed a bit of her clothes on her shoulder and showed it to Xiao Yang. Xiao Yang didn't understand, but because men and women shouldn't touch each other, he hurriedly closed his eyes.
Lan Xingmeng's eyes flashed with craftiness like a cunning little fox. She was incomparably happy, but on the surface, she revealed an expression of deep hatred. She snorted and said, "You saw it too. My injuries are so obvious. Here, here, and here. They're all scars you left behind. I'm dying from the pain."
As she spoke, she pointed at several parts of her body.
Xiao Yang's mouth twitched as he listened. Heavens, this bastard is too difficult to deal with. She must have something to ask for if she's so vindictive.
Then, he heard Lan Jiaoye say, "I don't care. You have to compensate me. It has to be a compensation that I'm satisfied with."
Then wouldn't she be slaughtered by him?
Xiao Yang's heart raced. He knew he couldn't afford to offend this woman.
His eyebrows twitched as he revealed a pained expression. He took out a spirit pill and gritted his teeth. "One spirit pill. Take it as an apology, okay?"
Actually, as long as the misunderstanding was resolved, as long as Xiao Yang no longer misunderstood, Lan Xingmeng was already satisfied.
However, she suddenly felt that Xiao Yang was rich. It would be a waste if she didn't take advantage of him. Why should she let others take advantage of him?
She immediately snatched the spirit pill from Xiao Yang's hand. She revealed a pouting expression and said angrily, "Good things always come in pairs. After you attacked me, you even scolded me. This is a double blow. You want to settle it with one spirit pill?"
Xiao Yang almost rolled his eyes. This bastard was too greedy.
Her meaning couldn't be more obvious. She obviously wanted two.
