"You're here just in time. Please invite them in." Chu Shiyu said.
"Lan family? Which Lan family? Has a new family with the surname Lan appeared in Guzhou? It can't be..."
The fifth elder was surprised to hear this sensitive surname that had not appeared in more than 20 years.
Chu Shiyu did not answer, but turned and walked towards the gate to greet him in person.
The fifth elder stared at Chu Shiyu's back, seeming to be thinking about something.
The Seventh Elder said, "Shi Yu actually went to greet them personally. He has never personally greeted anyone before. He really values this Lan family."
The Eighth Elder was more optimistic: "If it really is the Lan family, then it means Shi Yu still values You Ning very much. Otherwise, he wouldn't go to greet the Lan family in person."
The fifth elder's eyes lit up, "That makes sense!"
The guests present also had different expressions and were extremely shocked.
"Is it the Lan family I'm thinking of?"
Someone couldn't help but ask his companions.
My companions also looked incredulous.
For a moment, the whole hall was filled with discussions, and many people stretched their necks and pricked up their ears to stare outside the door.
Compared to the shock of others, Mr. Chu Sanye couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The Lan family arrived just in time.
Now that they are here, perhaps they will plead for mercy, and Chu Shiyu will let Youning go today for the sake of the Lan family.
Mr. Chu Sanye let out a long sigh and slowly closed his eyes.
He was covered in cold sweat. The thing that Ruan Qiao injected into his body made him feel excruciating pain.
Therefore, he did not see the sudden change in Ruan Youning and Li Jinyan's expressions the moment they heard the Lan family.
Elder Lan and Elder Yao of Tianlou were even more shocked.
"Which Lan family? Did I hear it wrong?" Elder Yao looked at Elder Lan in disbelief.
Elder Lan also looked surprised, with a panic in his eyes that only they knew.
The Lan family is loyal to the direct line of the Li family through blood, and the Lan family can clearly sense the oppression of the direct line of blood.
If it was the Lan family they were thinking of, then as soon as they showed up, they would find that Ruan Youning did not have the direct bloodline of the Li family.
If that's the case...
Elder Lan and Elder Yao looked at each other in horror, both of them with fear of impending disaster in their eyes.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Didn't the Lan family die out back then?"
Elder Yao muttered.
"Who said they were all dead? Some of their people are missing." Elder Lan thought of something and said with a frightened look on his face.
Not far away, Ruan Youning and Li Jinyan were also really scared.
"What should I do, Mom? The Lan family is dead, right? Why are they showing up?"
Ruan Youning said in panic.
Li Jinyan was also at a loss at this moment: "How could it be? He couldn't possibly lie to me."
"Mom, Mu Shengtian, can you really trust him?" Ruan Youning asked palely.
"Of course." Li Jinyan said without hesitation. She glanced at Ruan Youning and said, "Youning, you can doubt anyone, but you can't doubt him."
Ruan Youning opened her mouth, her heart pounding wildly, and a layer of cold sweat couldn't help oozing out of her forehead. "But Mom, now it's not a question of suspecting someone, but, the Lan family is here, what should we do..."
Tianlong was originally ordered to depose Ruan Youning.
But when they heard that the Lan family was coming, they changed their minds.
Chu Shiyu met the Lan family at the gate.
"Elder Lan Qi, have you been well these years?" Chu Shiyu asked.
Lan Chaohai smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Thank you, Young Master Chu, for your concern. The three of us, our grandparents and grandchildren, have just crawled out of hell, so it's not going well."
Chu Shiyu led his men forward, ignoring the various gazes from around them.
"Now that you have seen the light again, Captain Lan, just look forward," said Chu Shiyu.
"That's right, look forward, but the revenge that should be taken must also be taken." Lan Chaohai said.
"Of course." Chu Shiyu said.
As Chu Shiyu, Lan Chaohai and their two grandchildren walked in while talking, everyone in the hall could see the appearance of the Lan family clearly.
"Hiss! It's Lan Chaohai, the seventh elder of the Lan family!"
"After so many years, his appearance hasn't changed at all. He still looks the same as he did more than 20 years ago. It seems that his cultivation level is at least innate."
"Innate? The talent of this Lan family member is truly terrifying."
The crowd was talking.
At this moment, everyone in Tianlou was filled with shock and fear.
"How is this possible? How could Lan Chaohai still be alive? Not only is he alive, judging by his appearance and condition, he must have at least broken through to the Xiantian realm."
Elder Yao felt a darkness before his eyes.
Elder Lan stumbled. "It's over, it's all over now... Lan Chaohai has come with ill intentions. He won't let go of what happened back then..."
"Quick, let Youning hide and don't let her meet the Lan family."
Once they meet, the Lan family will find that Ruan Youning is not a true descendant of the Li family.
Then they will find out that she is not Li Xufeng's daughter at all.
Li Jinyan and Ruan Youning also thought the same as them.
Ruan Youning also wanted to sneak away.
But unfortunately, he was stopped by Tianlong.
Tianlong's face was cold, "Where are you two going?"
"Mr. Tianlong, I want to go to the bathroom. Why does the Chu family even have to control guests going to the bathroom?" Ruan Youning said calmly.
Tianlong sneered: "The Chu family will naturally take good care of their guests, but the same cannot be said for liars and thieves."
The faces of Li Jinyan and Ruan Youning, mother and daughter, turned pale in an instant, as if they had suffered a great humiliation.
"Who do you say is a liar and a thief?" Li Jinyan has been the one who calls the shots in Tianlou over the years. She has become accustomed to the feeling of being high and mighty and being praised by everyone.
Now that she was called a liar and a thief, she was completely unable to accept it.
"Of course I'm talking about you guys. What's wrong? Are your ears not working well?"
Tianlong glanced at the two of them with sharp eyes.
Li Jinyan's face turned cold, and she suddenly attacked, striking Tianlong with a palm.
Tianlong sneered and reacted extremely quickly with a punch.
He is one of the Five Poisons of the Chu family's war department. He has amazing talent and extraordinary strength. Although he is young, he has not let Li Jinyan get away with it.
Li Jinyan's figure retreated several meters and fell to the ground in a mess.
Ruan Youning rushed over to help her.
The movement here immediately attracted the attention of Chu Shiyu and Lan Chaohai.
"That's... Li Jinyan?" Lan Chaohai asked in surprise, "How could she be so arrogant as to actually take action against the Chu family?"
Chu Shiyu glanced at Li Jinyan and said in a normal tone, "She has been the Madam of Tianlou for more than 20 years."
A hint of darkness flashed in Lan Chaohai's eyes, and he sighed, "Li Jinyan is just a member of the Li family's side branch. Because of her good talent, she is valued by the master.
I didn't expect that the owner would let a wolf into the house."
At the end of his speech, Lan Chaohai's tone gradually became low.
He looked over there and naturally saw Ruan Youning. He asked, "Is that young girl the fake one?"
