Later, Helanzhi lived a life of hiding for a while, and then used many means to contact one of his sisters from the branch family - Helan Yanli.
Helan Yanli is a disciple in a large sect of the human race.
Because Helan Yanli belongs to a branch family and has not awakened the Eye of Illusion, she does not have the right to inherit the title of head of the family, and she will not be valued if she stays in the Helan family.
In addition, Qingyan Peak of Qingyun Sect is the top-notch in the study of illusions. Helan Yanli likes and is good at illusions, so Helan Yanli left the demon world early and went to Qingyun Sect through some special channels to concentrate on studying illusions.
He Lanzhi wanted to enter Qingyun Sect to seek refuge. After all, Qingyun Sect was one of the four great immortal sects, and ordinary sects could not protect him at all. Only by joining such a powerful sect could he feel at ease.
If he could enter Qingyun Sect, he wouldn't have to live in hiding, his life would be protected, and he wouldn't have to be on guard at all times at night, so he could sleep peacefully.
He Lanzhi tried to contact He Lan Yanli, hoping she could recommend a way for him...
During his days of wandering outside, he had learned about the human race's rejection of the demon race. If he went through normal channels, he would not be able to join the human clan and might even be driven out and killed.
In a small teahouse, He Lanzhi sat somewhat uncomfortably, waiting for He Lan Yanli to appear...
This is already half an hour later than the agreed time. Could it be that they have broken the contract?
As he was thinking this, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps, and then saw a beautiful and charming woman, who was Helan Yanli.
He Lanzhi wanted to say hello to her. After all, they had just met and she needed help from her.
In the end, Helan Yanli simply waved her hand, indicating that there was no need for any more empty talk, and then said the first sentence after they met: "What benefits can you bring to me? Or what is your value?"
He Lanzhi didn't react for a moment: "What?"
Helan Yanli tapped her fingers on the table in dissatisfaction. "If you can't bring me any benefits and have no value yourself, then why should I help you? Could it be that I just like doing charity?"
He Lanzhi heard this and lowered her eyes to look at the tea on the table.
Foxes never do anything without profit. He should have known this a long time ago, right? Why did he still have such naive thoughts just now?
Then he raised his eyes again, and his gaze became firm. He knew that only by proving his worth could he have the right to negotiate a deal.
He looked at Helan Yanli and said seriously and confidently, "Do you know your own value? The position of the head of the family?"
"The position of the head of the family?" A hint of color finally flashed in Helan Yanli's fox eyes, and she showed some interest.
He Lanzhi nodded, and meeting her puzzled look, she explained, "I have awakened the Eye of Delusion and gained the qualification to compete for the position of Patriarch."
"So what if that's the case?" Helan Yanli took a sip of the tea in front of her. "You're just a nameless fox. Even if you qualify to compete, you can't compete with them."
He Lanzhi didn't deny it, but leaned forward, her fox eyes full of sincerity: "That's why... I need your help."
"Oh?" Helan Yanli's eyes lit up with even more interest. "Tell me about it."
He Lanzhi's Adam's apple rolled, and she seemed a little nervous, but her eyes were full of confidence: "I need your help to let me enter Qingyun Sect."
He said truthfully, "I am being targeted by other foxes now, and I must find a place that can shelter me. Qingyun Sect is such a good place."
"After I enter the sect, those foxes who are targeting me won't dare to act so blatantly anymore. I can also take this opportunity to gather my strength in the dark and build up my own power..."
Helan Yanli heard his words, licked her teeth lightly with the tip of her tongue, and commented:
"That's a very bold idea. I admire your courage to compete with those powerful foxes. However, your idea is still immature and too young."
Then, she changed the subject and stared at He Lanzhi intently: "But...are you trying to get me to take sides? I'm neutral and won't participate in any power struggles."
"Besides, even if I wanted to participate, why wouldn't I choose a party with a better chance of winning? Why choose you? A nameless and insignificant fox with no chance of winning?"
He Lanzhi did not show any panic in response to her questioning, but instead looked at her:
"Although I am nameless and unranked, and cannot compete with the other foxes who have qualified to compete for the position of family head, it is precisely because of my namelessness and lack of rank that I can bring you more benefits."
Helan Yanli's eyes changed slightly, but soon returned to normal: "Oh? What do you mean?"
He Lanzhi also took a sip of the tea in front of him, moistened his throat, and then said:
"I guess you're not staying neutral because you don't want to take sides, but because you can't."
"Because you know that no matter which side you stand on, it won't bring you much benefit, even if the side you stand on wins."
"Because they all have relatives, the bulk of the benefits will go to their relatives, and as a branch family, you can only drink some soup when it comes to you."
"But if you stand on the wrong side, you'll die miserably. If you stand on the right side, the benefits won't be great, but if you stand on the wrong side, you'll die. Weighing the pros and cons of both, that's why you choose to stay neutral and not offend either side."
He Lanzhi noticed the fleeting change on her face and felt more confident:
"But I'm different. I have no name or status. Apart from my mother, I have no relatives. If I become the head of the family, I promise to give you the greatest benefits by dividing the family."
