Lan Shao gritted his teeth and forced a word out, "Yes!"
"I understand. You may leave."
The old man gently closed his eyes as he replied weakly.
"I will handle the matters of the Medicine Manor. You don't have to worry about these things."
"Yes, Father."
Lan Shao finally heaved a sigh of relief. He joined his fists and left.
Just as he turned around, the old man behind him opened his eyes. His eyes were filled with disappointment.
"Lan Shao, you're far too lacking compared to your younger brother. If it had not been for his accidental death and the pressure from the old fellows in the family, the position of Master of the Lan family would never have fallen into your hands! I'm not being biased. I'm just worried that you'll destroy the entire Lan family. "
As Lan Shao's father, how could he possibly not understand his son?
Besides, as a pill master's follower, how could he possibly covet half of the Lan family's assets?
However...
The old man closed his eyes once again as a bitter smile hung on his face. He sighed gently but did not say another word.
...
Over the past few days, Main City has been in a state of unprecedented excitement.
Restaurants, teahouses, street vendors, everyone was discussing Lan Shao's actions in front of the Medicine Manor a few days ago! They never thought that the death of the Lan family's Second Young Master and his wife would be related to Lan Shao. There was nothing he would not do for the sake of seizing the position of Master of the Lan family!
Hence, Lan Shao had now become the laughing stock of the entire Northern Block Territory.
However, this matter was soon overshadowed by another major event!
It was said that the genius woman, Gu Ruoyun, who had shone brilliantly during the Medicine Sect's general meeting, had arrived in Main City a few months ago. She has even moved into the Northern Block Territory! Hence, every organization in Main City, big and small, was in an uproar. The Medicine Manor, which was initially quiet, instantly became as crowded as a marketplace.
However, no matter who they were, they were all turned away at the Medicine Manor's door.
Even the most mysterious family, one of the four great organizations in Main City, had sent their elders here. However, not only had they not been able to meet the Master of the Medicine Manor, they had not even been able to cross the threshold.
Soon after, the Medicine Hall released a piece of news. In half a month's time, a banquet will be held in the Medicine Manor. All rogue cultivators who have reached the rank of a Martial Supreme or organizations with Martial Supremes in their ranks can send representatives to attend.
In the Northern Block Territory, there are many organizations with Martial Supremes in their ranks. Hence, many organizations have begun to make preparations! As for those who were not strong enough, they could only look enviously at the families that were invited.
After all, the Master of the Medicine Manor was a Pill Master. How many people have tried to curry favor with him? Even the cultivators of the First City would not turn a blind eye to a pill master.
In the entire Northern Block Territory, only the Jiang family and the Gu family had not made any moves. Everyone could not help but wonder what these two families were up to. Could it be that he wasn't interested in that Alchemist?
Of course, what they did not know was that Gu Ruoyun, whom they regarded as a god, was currently playing chess with two old men in the Jiang family home.
"Haha, Old Man Gu, you've lost." Old Man Jiang burst into laughter. His hearty laughter echoed throughout the Jiang family's courtyard. "Since you've lost to the Gu girl, you can step down. It's my turn now."
Old Man Gu smiled as he turned towards Gu Ruoyun and said, "Gu girl, I never thought that not only are you extremely talented, you're also quite good at chess. It's a pity that the Gu family doesn't have any men. Otherwise, I would really want to kidnap you and bring you back to the Gu family."
At this point, he sighed gently and his face filled with regret.
