What kind of person was Luo Lan like in the past? He could lie in the stronghold for three days without moving at all. When he was in Stronghold 113, he lived a life where everything was provided to him. Basically, other than the matters of the Kyung Clan's combat brigade, there was basically nothing else that could concern him.
According to him, his younger brother was here to take care of everything, and he could just sit around and wait to die.
But when Luo Lan started tormenting himself, everyone realized Luo Lan's willpower had always been so tenacious.
Zhou Qi had once speculated that if the world of supernatural beings was really determined by their mental strength, then the higher a person's mental strength was, the higher their upper limit would be.
This mental strength was not completely "tenacious." For example, Li Shentan had never shown any signs of being tenacious. It was just that this mental patient's mental world was extremely complicated.
Zhou Qi looked at Luo Lan and was suddenly looking forward to what heights this fatty could reach.
"I've always been curious about something." Zhou Qi asked, "If the threshold between normal people and supernatural beings is really measured according to the Saboteurs' theory of mental strength, then Qing Zhen should have awakened as well. The way I see it, his mental world is much larger and more complicated than most people in this world, so why hasn't he awakened yet? Or could it be that he's already awakened but didn't tell me about it?"
Zhou Qi then fell into deep thought. If Qing Zhen was really a supernatural being, then Qing Zhen should not have needed Zhou Qi's help during the bloody battle at Mt. Silver Apricot back then.
Luo Lan panted as he threw his heavy backpack onto the ground. He felt like he was about to collapse. Nearby, the accompanying doctor packed up his medical kit and was about to come over when Luo Lan gestured for him to stop. That was because the topic they were talking about was not suitable for others to hear.
Luo Lan said, "First of all, I want to confirm that my younger brother hasn't awakened yet. He might hide something like this from others, but he definitely wouldn't hide it from me."
"Then why hasn't he awakened yet?" Zhou Qi asked.
"Maybe he doesn't think it's necessary." Luo Lan sighed and said, "You know, if someone else suddenly told me that being a supernatural being isn't that big of a deal, I'd definitely think they were hypocritical. They might say that they look down on us, but deep down, they really want to become a supernatural being more than anyone else."
"Did Qing Zhen say something like that?" Zhou Qi asked.
But of Qing Qing Zhen of Kingdom, he could of him of Yang was. he of Lan of He. and he could still of he Luhe he could. In and of, he a. of Lan. of of Qing Luo Su Long. he he he he he he was.
Luo Lan thought that in the entire Barrier Alliance, there were probably not many people who were as confident as his younger brother.
At this moment, the sound of a vehicle driving came from outside the mountain. Luo Lan sat up and looked in the direction they came from. This ravine had been cordoned off by the Kyung Clan troops. Anyone who could drive in like this must be Luo Lan's and Qing Zhen's trusted aides.
However, Luo Lan and Zhou Qi were a little surprised to see who it was. The person sitting in the backseat of the off-road vehicle was actually Qing Zhen!
"Why does he have the time to come here?" Zhou Qi muttered.
"No, it's not my younger brother." Luo Lan denied that. "Get the soldiers around here to stay away."
Zhou Qi raised his eyebrows. "Do I need to stay away from them?"
Luo Lan said, "There's no need for that. You're one of us."
Zhou Qi raised his eyebrows again.
When the vehicle drove over, Qing Shen jumped out of the vehicle and walked over with a smile. He looked at Luo Lan's expression and said, "How did you tell me apart from your younger brother?"
After making sure that there was no one else around, Luo Lan said, "The two of you live in different environments, so your personalities must be different as well. Your demeanor is completely different as well. Outsiders might not be able to sense it, but I can."
After saying that, Luo Lan checked the scar on the back of Qing Shen's hand. Back then, Qing Shen had specially left this mark on Qing Shen to reassure Luo Lan.
Luo Lan let go of Qing Shen's arm and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Your younger brother asked me to check on you and make sure you're fine. After all, everyone heard that you've been training like a madman here, and they're all afraid that you'll end up crippling yourself." Qing Shen smiled and found a small folding stool to sit down on. His white suit was spotless, and judging from the way he dressed, there was indeed no difference between him and Qing Zhen.
Nowadays, Qing Shen's existence was the Kyung Clan's top secret. Most of the time, the Kyung Clan's problems would be solved by Qing Shen, while Qing Zhen would hide in the dark.
This also made Luo Lan a little puzzled. Based on his younger brother's character, he must have sensed a great danger, which was why he was so careful with every step he took.
Qing Zhen was not a quiet person, but right now, it was as if he was playing a game of chess with someone, and everything was silent.
Luo Lan asked Qing Shen, "Where's my younger brother?"
Qing Shen smiled and said, "I'm just his substitute. Even you, his older brother, don't know where he is, so how could I possibly know? A substitute doesn't have much power, right? "
Luo Lan was a little puzzled. "I've always been curious. With your talent and the training you received in the Pyro Company, you should be able to live a good life no matter where you go. So why did you choose to come to the Kyung Clan to be a substitute?"
After all, a substitute did not have any personal freedom, and they had to be arranged by Qing Zhen whenever they moved together.
If he did not know what Qing Zhen was capable of, Luo Lan might have been worried that Qing Zhen would be replaced by Qing Zhen. But now, he realized Qing Zhen was even more cautious than he had imagined. Qing Zhen's personal bodyguard, Zheng Yuandong, had already received orders to kill this substitute at any time once he crossed a certain perimeter.
The rules of the perimeter were very strict, so Qing Shen did not have the chance to replace Qing Zhen.
However, Qing Shen did not think much of it. It was as though he had never thought of replacing Qing Zhen to seize power. So this puzzled Luo Lan a little. 'What are you after?'
However, Qing Shen did not answer Luo Lan's question directly. Instead, he said to Luo Lan with a smile, "With how hardworking you are right now, you're more like the Luo Lan from over a decade ago. I'm a little curious. What happened over a decade ago that made you suddenly become a salted fish? I know that's just your disguise. After all, you've done too many things for Qing Zhen behind his back. That's not something a salted fish can do, so why are you willing to hide your brilliance and come here to serve as a foil to Qing Zhen? "
Luo Lan sneered and said, "I'm happy. What's it to you? I'm asking you why you're here to be a substitute. "
Qing Shen smiled. "Yes, I'm happy. What's it to you?"
