"Do you know if there are still people talking in the Lan family?"
This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, leaving Ruan Youning stunned.
Her hand trembled and the phone fell to the ground.
Across from her, Li Jinyan was holding a red wine glass in one hand and playing with a small jade snake on her wrist with the other, her posture extremely charming and lazy.
Seeing this, she frowned slightly and asked unhappily, "What's wrong?"
"Mom, are you sure you killed all the Lan family members back then?"
"Of course not." Li Jinyan didn't care.
"Really not?" Ruan Youning stood up excitedly.
Li Jinyan glanced at her calmly and said, "Why are you making such a fuss? The Lan family did have a few members slip through the net, but I dealt with them later."
"How did you deal with it?" Ruan Youning asked excitedly.
"He was imprisoned by a friend of mine." Li Jinyan said in a relaxed tone.
"Mom, is your friend reliable?" Ruan Youning asked.
Li Jinyan's eyes flashed, "Youning, this friend of Mom's is very trustworthy. If you meet him, you can trust him 100%.
In this world, only your mother and that person will not hurt you."
Ruan Youning picked up the phone, handed it to Li Jinyan, and said, "But Mom, the Lan family showed up."
Li Jinyan was stunned.
After a moment, she suddenly jumped up, her grace completely gone: "What did you say?"
She snatched the phone that Ruan Youning handed to her and saw the message sent by Nan Huanran.
Li Jinyan's face suddenly became a little ugly.
Just then, her cell phone suddenly rang.
Li Jinyan's fingers were white and slender, and her nails were bright red and seemed to be dripping with blood.
She glanced at the caller and her expression suddenly returned to normal.
She picked up the phone gracefully and answered it slowly.
"Hello~" Her voice was gentle and charming.
"Yan Yan!" The man on the phone spoke softly.
Ruan Youning couldn't hear clearly, but she could still hear the person on the phone speaking to her mother in an intimate tone.
Ruan Youning was stunned for a moment, then reacted and asked, "Mom, is it that uncle?"
Growing up, her mother would occasionally let her talk to the mysterious uncle on the phone.
Li Jinyan's eyebrows softened. "Ah Tian, today is not the fifteenth, why did you call me? Did something happen?"
"Yan Yan, Lan Chaohai and his grandchildren escaped."
The person on the other end of the phone said.
Li Jinyan said, "Your place has strict security measures, not even a fly can fly out, how could they escape?
Didn’t you tell me they’d never get out of there alive?”
"It's all that woman Xuanyuan Duanli's fault. She insisted on entering some forbidden area for no reason. As a result, she messed up the formation, allowing those three Lan family members to find a loophole."
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Li Jinyan's eyes. "This Xuanyuan Duanli is simply more of a hindrance than a help."
"Ever since Mu Fu and Xuanyuan Duanjing died, Xuanyuan Duanli seems to have gone crazy."
"Don't be angry, Yanyan, you forgot that we had already made two preparations.
Even if the Lan family escaped, they would not live long.
Lan Chaohai was seriously injured and he probably won't live for many days.
As for his two grandchildren, they also have the Soul Devouring Gu you gave me in their bodies, and they will die silently."
Li Jinyan's expression softened. "Well, I understand. As long as they don't see Youning, Youning's identity won't be exposed."
"Don't worry, they won't live to see Youning."
"I'm worried about Chu Xiuyuan's birthday party..."
"Yan Yan, I will be there when the time comes, don't worry." said the person on the other end of the phone.
Li Jinyan breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I'm relieved."
After hanging up the phone, Li Jinyan comforted Ruan Youning, "Youning, that uncle will help you deal with the Lan family's affairs.
At Mr. Chu Sanye's birthday party, just show off your cultivation."
Ruan Youning nodded, but still couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "Mom, who is that uncle?
I just heard you mention Xuanyuan Duanli. Isn't she the mistress of the Mu family? Could that uncle be a member of the Mu family?"
Li Jinyan looked at Ruan Youning and said softly, "Youning, you guessed right. He is a member of the Mu family. Not only that, he is the head of the Mu family, Mu Shengtian!"
Ruan Youning's eyes widened in surprise. "Mom, what is your relationship with him? Why would he help us?"
Although the Mu family is not as powerful as the Chu family, it is also one of the four major families in Guzhou and has an extraordinary status.
Li Jinyan said: "Youning, Mom can't tell you yet, but he is someone you can trust."
Ruan Youning was silent, "Mom, I never knew who my father was..."
Li Jinyan's expression changed, "Youning, don't let your imagination run wild. Don't forget your identity.
I am the Saint of Tianlou. Your mother is Li Xufeng, the former owner of Tianlou, and your father is Ruan Linsi, the current owner.
And I am just your adoptive mother.
No matter what, you must bite this cognition."
Ruan Youning looked at her mother and nodded.
"I still have things to deal with, so I'll leave first." Li Jinyan got up and left.
Ruan Youning looked at her mother's back, a hint of unwillingness rising in her eyes.
Is it true that only Li Xufeng's daughter can be the Holy Maiden of Tianlou? Can't she be one?
Obviously her mother is the wife of the owner of Tianlou.
But she could only pretend to be Li Xufeng's daughter.
What's so good about Li Xufeng?
At this moment, Qu Banyao came in and reported, "Saintess, Third Master Chu has sent you a set of jewelry, saying that you should wear it to the banquet."
Ruan Youning was shocked.
Yes, she must be Li Xufeng's daughter.
As long as she exists as Li Xufeng's daughter, Mr. Chu Sanye will always support her.
Qu Banyao said with a smile, "Saintess, that set of jewelry was said to have been specially left for you by Li Xufeng. It has been kept with Third Master Chu for all these years, and now, it has finally been delivered to you."
Ruan Youning's face showed excitement.
"Could it be that 'Blue Sea and Blue Sky' set?"
Soon, the jewellery deliveryman came in. He was Mr. Chu's right-hand man. He said, "Saintess, Mr. Chu is busy and can't leave, so he asked his subordinates to give you this set of 'Blue Sea and Blue Sky'. This is what your mother left for you."
