After the black-robed elder was taken away, the matter came to an end.

"I never thought the murderer would be neither Xuanzong nor the Hunter District, but a lone cultivator from the Ancient Martial Arts World." Shi Feng came over to greet the two before leaving, his tone filled with fear. "Now that there are no tigers in the mountains, the monkeys are king. Just one person has caused so much trouble. I'm afraid I won't be able to live in peace in the future. Sigh, I wonder when Xuanzong will elect a new clan leader to take charge of the situation?"

These words were just a sigh of emotion. He did not expect the two people in front of him to respond, and soon left.

After everyone had left and Xie Chenan had returned to the B&B to inform other ancient warriors, Xiao Yunting turned to look at the girl beside him.

"What do you think?"

"Huh?" Ye Lan was a little distracted and didn't hear clearly.

Xiao Yunting then completed the sentence in a low voice, "When do you think the new leader of the Xuanzong clan can be chosen?"

I believe that top leaders in China and around the world are paying close attention to this issue.

Although the girl's identity is currently unknown, it is certain that she must be of a high status and know some inside information.

Hearing this, Ye Lan remembered the command information he had sent to the computer and suddenly felt a little guilty, "I'm afraid I can't choose it for the time being."

You should know that each of Xuanzong's clan leaders reigned for more than a hundred years, and those who were capable could live to two hundred years old.

And a super genius like Ye Lan, who was designated as the next clan leader as soon as she made her debut, has raised everyone's expectations of her infinitely.

Now, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, everyone in Xuanzong's family will wait for her to return.

Seeing her like this, a faint light flashed across Xiao Yunting's half-closed eyes, and he said in a low and slow voice: "Aren't you worried that there will be trouble?"

This is almost an affirmation.

Ye Lan shrugged and spoke frankly, "We just finished a great war, and all the major sects suffered heavy losses. Now, those who are capable of stirring up trouble are just small fry. If anything goes wrong, it's likely that they won't come from the ancient martial arts world."

She spoke directly and Xiao Yunting understood immediately.

"Is someone outside causing trouble?"

"Yeah." Ye Lan responded, feeling a little tired after standing for so long, so he walked towards the B&B, saying as he walked, "Maybe they want to frame me, or maybe they want to use this to open a channel to the Ancient Martial World. Any of these are possible."

Seeing that she spoke with a calm and nonchalant attitude, Xiao Yunting felt a little doubtful again.

The girl's life experience was too clean, so clean that it couldn't be fully contained on a piece of paper, so her current state of knowing everything and being open and unconcerned seemed very inconsistent.

Ye Lan was thinking about something else, so she didn't notice the silence of the man behind her until she arrived at the door of the B&B.

Just before entering the door, she turned around and asked, "Why do you want to fight against the ancient warriors?"

Behind him, Xiao Yunting paused, looked over with a pair of deep eyes, but did not answer.

This was the first time he did not respond to Ye Lan's question.

Ye Lan seemed to sense something in his heart, and frowned slightly, then asked: "Is this what the higher-ups meant?"

“…”

Xiao Yunting remained silent.

But this is actually an answer.

Ye Lan's heart sank, and the indifference on his face was replaced by a cold sternness. "Then what do they mean?"

This "they" refers to the superiors in China.

Seeing that she was truly devoted to the Ancient Martial World, Xiao Yunting didn't hide anything. He spoke slowly with a solemn tone, "They don't want the Ancient Martial World to emerge."

If a group of people with abilities far beyond those of ordinary people stay in a corner, they will be geniuses, but if these people run away, they will become crazy.

The doctrine of the mean is a principle practiced by all those in power.

Ye Lan scoffed at this.

She withdrew her gaze calmly and replied lightly, "I know."

So we didn't talk any more.

At this time, Xie Chenan came out from inside and saw that the atmosphere between the two was not right. The words he was about to say were stuck in mid-air.

"You two, had a fight?"

He asked the two of them, his tone somewhat cheerful.

Xiao Yunting's expression turned cold, and his tone became even more indifferent, "She's just tired."

"Yeah." Ye Lan also responded cooperatively, "Then I'll go upstairs to rest."

After saying that, he walked towards the B&B.

Xiao Yunting stared at her back, his thin lips tightening into a line. Just as the girl was about to disappear behind the front desk, he continued, "I'll pick you up tonight. We agreed to celebrate your birthday together."

Ye Lan paused at the front desk, turned sideways and looked back. His expression was also a little unhappy, but he nodded, "Okay."

That was the agreement they made in the illusion, and she was not one to break a promise.

Afterwards, the two went their separate ways.

Ye Lan returned to the house and began to meditate with his eyes closed, but after sitting for a while he still couldn't get into the state. Instead, the energy in his body became more and more chaotic, and he almost hurt himself.

She withdrew her hand in time, stood up, walked to the table and started grinding and writing.

This is her second method of calming her mind.

QQ.

"Ye Lan, are you asleep?"

At this time, Xie Chenan's voice came from outside the house, "I saw that the light in your room was still on, and I wanted to come over and talk to you."

Ye Lan stopped grinding, tilted his head and replied calmly, "Come in."

The ancient style of the homestay here is that except for the fixed light source, the rest of the decoration and decor are imitated from the Five Dynasties period.

So Xie Chenan could see the light through the paper window.

The other party was a little confused by her attitude as soon as she entered the room. "Why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night? Are you cultivating your sentiments?"

Ye Lan lowered his eyes, continued what he was doing, and said lightly, "Calm down."
