During the Liangzhou Martial Arts Competition, Lan Lingyan had killed Bai Jiu, the young master of the Bai Family.
To Bai Wangu, this was the pain of losing his son. That was why Lan Lingyan had to pay with his life.
Now, according to Lan Wushou's suggestion, Lan Mengcheng should replace Lan Lingyan to appease Bai Wangu's hatred.
Wasn't that asking Lan Mengcheng to die?!
"Governor?! Elders?! You … Why aren't you saying anything?! "
Lan Mengcheng's pupils shrank and her heart clenched. She looked around helplessly but no one said a word.
That was a tacit agreement!
Everyone agreed with Lan Wushou's suggestion!
"Young master, since you're sitting on the throne, you should shoulder your responsibilities!" Lan Wushou said coldly.
"Responsibilities? What responsibilities? "Lan Mengcheng was confused.
From the beginning, she only had the title of young master, sitting here like a vase. She had not enjoyed any power, so why should she shoulder responsibilities?
And she would have to pay with her life!
"Young master, you know very well that Lan Lingyan is a rare genius of the Lan Family. He has the potential to become a Holy Ruler and his future is limitless. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the future of the Lan Family!"
Lan Wushou said, "What about you, young master? You may be talented but your cultivation has been stagnant and you don't even have the slightest chance of becoming a Holy Ruler! Using you to replace Lan Lingyan will benefit the entire Lan Family! "
Lan Mengcheng felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
No wonder everyone was speaking up. It seemed that everyone had the same opinion as Lan Wushou.
In terms of talent, Lan Lingyan was indeed an amazing talent. He was the hope of the Lan Family and could even help the Lan Family rise to the next level.
On the other hand, Lan Mengcheng was talented but after receiving so many inheritances, her foundation was not stable. She had encountered a bottleneck in digesting the inheritances and her cultivation had been stagnant for a long time. Her future was bleak.
From this point of view, using Lan Mengcheng to replace Lan Lingyan was definitely the best choice.
But Lan Mengcheng knew that things were not that simple!
There was a bigger reason why everyone agreed to this. Lan Mengcheng was isolated and helpless among the higher-ups, and Lan Lingyan was the third son of the governor, Lan Mengtian. His connections, family, and relationship were all self-explanatory!
In fact, before Lan Mengcheng appeared, Lan Lingyan was the young master of the Lan family.
The reason why Lan Mengcheng was appointed as the Young Master was because she had received the highest inheritance from the Lan Family's ancestors.
That was why Lan Mengcheng was the rightful master of the Lan family.
More importantly, after Lan Mengcheng received the highest legacy, she also received the Lan Family's Sage Weapon!
Because of this, the governor, Lan Mengtian, had no choice but to remove his most prideful son, Lan Lingyan, from the position of the young master and give it to Lan Mengcheng.
At that time, all the higher-ups of the Lan family regarded Lan Mengcheng as the real Young Master and respected her greatly. They even gave her another legacy.
However, everything changed when Lan Mengcheng accepted the new legacy.
Lan Mengcheng's cultivation had reached a bottleneck. She could not digest the power of inheritance and could not break through to the next level.
Of course, this only disappointed everyone. It did not change their respect and love for Lan Mengcheng.
The real reason why Lan Mengcheng was ostracized was …
She had lost the supreme Sage Ruler Weapon!!!
One should know that the governor, Lan Mengtian, was worried about that Sage Weapon. That was why he made his son, Lan Lingyan, give up the position of the young master!
Most of the higher-ups respected Lan Mengcheng because they were afraid of that Sage Weapon!
However, Lan Mengcheng had lost that Sage Weapon!
Once the news spread, the attitude of the higher-ups of the Lan family towards Lan Mengcheng took a turn for the worse!
They isolated her, suppressed her, disrespected her, and even taught her a lesson in public, just like Lan Wushou!
This was a classic example of bullying the weak and fearing the strong!
Today, the Lan family and the Bai family were sworn enemies. Not only did they bully the weak and fear the strong, they also wanted to kick Lan Mengcheng when she was down!
After all, they were all smart people.
To put it bluntly, Lan Mengcheng was of no value to the Lan family. On the contrary, Lan Lingyan could carry the Lan family's future and make them stronger!
Therefore, at this moment, no one said a word. Everyone agreed with Lan Wushou's suggestion.
"If no one has any objections, then this matter is settled!"
Lan Wushou narrowed his eyes and smirked. "Young master! You have sacrificed your life for the future of the Lan family. We will remember your sacrifice forever. Your name will be immortalized in the history books! "
"I …" Lan Mengcheng was extremely aggrieved.
Everyone had already agreed to this. Even if Lan Mengcheng did not agree, it would not change anything.
This was because in everyone's eyes, Lan Mengcheng was already a dead person.
Some people had even begun to think of an epitaph for Lan Mengcheng and how to record this matter in the history books.
No one cared about what Lan Mengcheng thought.
"Mm, it's decided then!"
Lan Mengtian, who had been silent all this while, finally spoke. His voice was deep and his aura was strong. It was like an imperial edict, not to be questioned.
"Yes!"
Lan Wushou cupped his fists and said respectfully, "I will contact Bai Wangu later. As long as he agrees, we can send Lan Mengcheng over today and resolve the grudge between the two families."
"Go and do it!" Lan Mengtian waved his hand, then stood up and walked to the back of the hall.
"Guards!"
Lan Wushou shouted. He grabbed Lan Mengcheng, sealed her cultivation, and waited for further instructions.
"Yes, sir!"
A few soldiers rushed forward and surrounded Lan Mengcheng.
In reality, Lan Mengcheng was already a Two-Star True Divine. She was many times stronger than these soldiers.
However, most of the elders present were stronger than Lan Mengcheng.
Therefore, Lan Mengcheng knew very well that resistance was futile.
"Grand Elder! I won't resist! But I want to see him! "Lan Mengcheng said loudly.
"Him? Is that the kid Lan Long mentioned? "
Lan Wushou narrowed his eyes. "He's just a weakling from the lower realm. Do you think he can save you?"
"No! I just want to see him. I won't let him risk his life to save me! "Lan Mengcheng said dejectedly.
"Heh, at least you know your place! If that kid dares to save you, I can crush him with one finger! "
Lan Wushou had an arrogant expression on his face, and he said viciously, "Fine, just take it as your last wish. I agree to let the two of you meet, but let me warn you first. That kid must know his place. Otherwise, I'll make him wish he was dead!"
"Yes … I will warn him." Lan Mengcheng said humbly. Her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.
Anger, grievance, depression, humbleness, all of these were nothing to him.
What she could not accept the most was that this meeting with Chen Xiaobei might be the last time she saw him!
