Although Lan Rongrong had seen the Zhu family patriarch from a distance several times, this was the first time she had stood so close in his study.

She was at a loss as to what to do and wanted to bow, but she heard the Zhu family head coldly say, "Are you the teammate who defeated my Zhu family member, Ning'er?"

"Yes! I was also the one who defeated the second in command of the Zhu family!" Lan Ziye said bluntly.

Lan Rongrong really needs to kneel down to Lan Ziye. Why is she bringing up such irrelevant issues? (???????)

"You're truly amazing. The second oldest brother just told me so!" The Zhu family patriarch looked Lan Ziye up and down and said, "You're truly one of the best among the children of aristocratic families. No wonder the Lan family hid you for so many years!"

What's this about finding a lost granddaughter? Is that a lie? This girl must be incredibly talented, so they're hiding her and training her secretly! Lan Yan truly is a fox.

However, if something happened to this carefully trained girl in his family, wouldn't that old man Lan Yan be determined to kill him? Although the Zhu family was not afraid of the Lan family, he didn't want to see both sides suffer losses.

"Thank you for the compliment, Patriarch!" Lan Ziye stepped forward and saluted gracefully.

Looking at such a well-mannered Lan Ziye, the head of the Zhu family was filled with envy and jealousy! How could their Zhu family not have a child with such amazing talent? If they had such a child, he would definitely hide him away and train him, and then he would make a big splash! (???_??)?

It's a pity that he couldn't find a talented disciple with a single attribute even after taking into account the children of side branches and illegitimate children. He could only be inferior to the Jin family and the Meng family in vain. Now, I'm afraid that even the Lan family will surpass their Zhu family! ⊙︿⊙

"Well...for today's matter, I will just give face to your Lan family's head and not bother with you!" The Zhu family's head sorted out his unbalanced psychology and said majestically.

Lan Rongrong was stunned. When did the Zhu family's head become so easy to talk to? Sure enough, his status as a legitimate descendant of the Lan family still worked!

"I'm here to find Zhu Ning! I want to ask you why you put Zhu Ning in solitary confinement and when you plan to release her? She is my team member and we will participate in the finals together!" Lan Ziye said seriously, neither humble nor arrogant, looking directly at the head of the Zhu family.

"That's what I'm going to say next!" The Zhu family's patriarch also turned serious and said, "I can let you off the hook for what happened today. After all, you're my grandson, and my Zhu family and your Lan family have some friendship! However... Zhu Ning offended the eldest daughter of the Jin family and the young lady of the Chu family, so he has to be put in solitary confinement. As for the finals... hehe, young Lan family member, I advise you to keep a low profile and give up. Don't get yourself into trouble!"

Lan Ziye laughed disdainfully, "I never thought the Zhu family's Patriarch would be so timid. Instead of being proud of his junior making it to the finals, he's actually afraid of the Jin family!"

The Zhu family head's face instantly darkened. He angrily said, "If you had offended the Jin family today, I could still bear the consequences for you. After all, the old man from the Jin family couldn't get too upset with me. But you offended the eldest son of the Chu family, Chu Xixuan! I'm telling you, not only can Zhu Ning not compete with you in any finals, she won't be able to step out of the Zhu family's gate in the future, and she won't be able to attend Lanxuan College! Young Lan family member, I advise you to take care of yourself!"
