"You mean the matter concerning Scholar Wang?"
"Yes, yes, that's it!"
"For some reason, this scholar Wang spent one night in Tianxiang Pavilion and died suddenly the next day!"
"Sigh! What you heard isn't even the most specific. As far as I know, that scholar Wang suddenly came back to life on the third day! He started killing everyone he saw, becoming a monster who only knew how to kill! He wiped out his entire family!"
Are you telling the truth?
"Oh my! It's absolutely true!"
"What a terrible thing!"
...
Shu Lan listened silently and kept the news in mind.
Afterwards, Shu Lan heard some other things about Tianxiang Pavilion in the teahouse, then put down the tea money and turned to leave.
Seeing his master brother walk out, Qin An quickly put down the silver and quietly followed.
Shu Lan walked to the place where he had agreed to meet with his disciples, where some disciples were already waiting.
They exchanged information and discovered that all the recent strange occurrences originated from Tianxiang Pavilion.
"It seems there's definitely something fishy going on at Tianxiang Pavilion!" Ye Feiyu said, stroking his chin.
“According to the residents here, the symptoms of those people are exactly the same as those of the Demon Seed, so it must be the Demon Seed,” Kong Xiang analyzed from the side.
"I wonder who is spreading the demonic seed here," Zhang Keke pondered.
"No matter what, we still have to go to Tianxiang Pavilion!" Ye Feiyu clapped his hands and made this decision.
Kong Xiang nodded silently to the side, while Shu Lan tacitly agreed with Ye Feiyu's decision.
And so, Shu Lan led Ye Feiyu, Kong Xiang, and a group of male disciples to Tianxiang Pavilion.
As soon as Shu Lan and her companions arrived at the entrance of Tianxiang Pavilion, a group of young and beautiful girls greeted them: "Welcome, sirs!"
"We've been waiting for you all!"
"Indeed, sir, I've been waiting for quite a while!"
Some of the disciples couldn't handle the enthusiasm and blushed with embarrassment.
Shu Lan, however, stepped into Tianxiang Pavilion with a cold expression. But if you looked closely, you would notice that Shu Lan's face was slightly flushed, and the tips of her ears were also subtly red.
A woman reached out to put her hand on Ye Feiyu, but Kong Xiang, radiating coldness, stood nearby, his piercing gaze fixed on her. Upon meeting Kong Xiang's gaze, the woman quickly withdrew her hand, trembling slightly, and dared not touch Ye Feiyu again.
The other women also tried to get closer to Ye Feiyu and Kong Xiang, just like that woman, but under Kong Xiang's cold aura and attacking gaze, they all backed down and dared not approach them anymore.
Qin An, who was following behind Shu Lan, saw his master and the others enter Tianxiang Pavilion and also stepped inside.
Just as a young woman was about to approach Qin An to greet him, he gave her a cold glance. His eyes, hidden behind his mask, were deep and icy, making the woman feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave. She immediately dared not approach him.
Qin An entered Tianxiang Pavilion as if he were in an empty place, without any hindrance.
Shu Lan wasn't so lucky. Wave after wave of girls tried to get close to him, and he had to keep dodging them. His ears grew redder and redder, as if they were about to bleed.
"Ladies, please excuse me," Shu Lan said expressionlessly.
"Oh my! Sir, are you shy?"
"Pfft, hehe!"
"I didn't expect this customer to be so innocent!"
Yes, yes!
...
Just as a girl tried to hook her arm around Shu Lan's neck, Shu Lan dodged backward, avoiding the girl's attack.
The girl suddenly felt a chill run through her body. She looked around but saw nothing, and was immediately puzzled.
What she didn't know was that she had just narrowly escaped death.
Just as the girl was about to put her hand on Shu Lan's neck, Qin An, who had followed behind, saw it. Qin An's eyes were like knives, and he wished he could immediately chop off the woman's hands, kill her, and tear her to pieces.
How dare she? How dare she try to get close to her master? Her master is such a wonderful person! Does she even deserve him?!
Fortunately, his master dodged the girl's hand, which relieved Qin An.
Shu Lan also breathed a sigh of relief. He had never encountered this situation before and had no idea how to deal with it.
Just as the group of girls were about to press closer, Shu Lan released a trace of her aura. The aura of a Nascent Soul stage expert was not to be underestimated. Even this slight pressure filled the girls with immense fear. Instantly, the girls scattered, no longer daring to approach Shu Lan.
Shu Lan breathed a sigh of relief, finally the trouble was over.
Shu Lan gave some instructions to the disciples, and then they split up to carry out their tasks.
Shu Lan found the madam of Tianxiang Pavilion and reserved a private room. He refused the girls who came to accompany him for drinks and walked towards the private room alone.
Shu Lan walked a few steps and reached the less crowded staircase when he suddenly spoke up: "You've been following me for so long, shouldn't you show yourself?"
Qin An paused. He thought his movements were discreet enough, but he didn't expect his master's senses to be so sharp. It seemed that his master had already discovered that he was being followed.
Qin An felt helpless and had no choice but to come out from behind the pillar where he was hiding.
"Greetings, fellow Daoist!" Qin An bowed to Shu Lan.
Shu Lan looked Qin An up and down. Qin An was wearing a black robe with gold patterns, about 1.9 meters tall, and wearing a half-silver mask that covered the upper half of his face.
Four years later, Qin An's voice had completely changed. It was no longer the clear voice of a boy, but the deep and resonant voice of an adult man.
Therefore, Qin An was confident that his master brother would not be able to recognize his voice.
As expected, Master's expression didn't change. He simply asked, "Why have you been following me?"
Qin An's mind raced, unsure of what excuse to use to answer his master brother. Finally, Qin An said, "I just feel that you look very familiar, and I would like to get to know you."
In the past, countless cultivators had tried to approach him with lame excuses, and Shu Lan had invariably refused them all. But today, for some reason, Shu Lan felt a strong connection with this person, and so her mouth involuntarily uttered, "Then please come up and have a drink with me, fellow Daoist!"
After saying that, Shu Lan regretted it a little, but when she sensed the joy emanating from that person, she silently swallowed back the words she wanted to take back.
Shu Lan went upstairs, opened the door to the private room he had reserved, and led Qin An inside.
After Shu Lan sat down, she took a glass of fruit wine from the table and poured one for Qin An.
Qin An accepted the cup of wine and thanked Shu Lan, saying, "Thank you, fellow Daoist!"
Shu Lan's eyes flickered slightly as she watched Qin An accept the wine glass.
