"You, you, you!" Shi Lan snorted coldly and turned her face away, but still stood next to Shi Xingyi without moving her feet.
Such a blatant act was hard to miss. Seeing him like this, the others had their own guesses. The leader of one of the sects asked, "Is Young Master Shi Lan also going to stand on their side?"
Shi Lan glanced at them and then replied, "What? Isn't that obvious enough?"
"But one of them is a cult, and the other is the young master of the Linjing Pavilion. How can you ally with them?"
"Why can't I join forces with them?" Shi Lan had already made up her mind. She understood what kind of place the Shadow Cult was, so she naturally did not reject it.
Of course, the most important thing is that Shi Xingyi chose to stand on the side of the Shadow Cult. Did he have any other choice? Of course, he would choose whatever Shi Xingyi chose.
From the moment Shi Xingyi said he wouldn't make a move, Shi Lan never considered taking any action against the Shadow Cult.
In the original story, the Mirror Pavilion did nothing against the Shadow Cult, and Shi Xingyi didn't even attend the martial arts tournament. So Shi Lan didn't know anything at that time. He only heard them talk about how bad the Shadow Cult was. With the encouragement of a group of righteous people around him, he came to the Shadow Cult and took action against them.
Now the situation is different. Having obtained the truth from Shi Xingyi and inquired about the Shadow Cult himself, he naturally won't be swayed by a few words anymore.
Even if the Shadow Cult had committed some heinous crime, the Canglan Pavilion would not act unless the Linjing Pavilion forbade it.
…
The sect leader's face turned even paler when he heard his question: "One of them is a heretical cult that has committed countless evil deeds, and the other is your sect's mortal enemy. How can you possibly ally with them?"
Hearing his righteous words, Shi Lan's smile deepened: "Whether the Shadow Cult did those bad things or not, I think everyone here knows very well. Don't blame others just because you think they are easy to bully. Not everyone is a fool."
After saying this, Shi Lan turned her gaze to Shi Xingyi and continued, "In addition, my great-grandfather and his great-great-grandfather were blood brothers, so I am naturally his brother as well. Although Canglan Pavilion and Linjing Pavilion have different views on martial arts, we are still connected by blood. We are always one family."
"How could that be? Haven't you always been at odds?"
"Who told you we've always been at odds? We're clearly a very good family, don't talk nonsense."
Shi Lan's words left everyone dumbfounded. What was going on? Didn't they say they were at odds and had already fallen out? Now they were putting on a show of brotherly affection?
Even if they were, they wouldn't be considered very close brothers. They only shared the same great-great-grandfather, which is more than three generations removed, so they're not even considered close relatives.
Normally, that would be correct, but ever since Canglan Pavilion and Linjing Pavilion were built, they have each had only one child, and it has been several generations of single-lineage inheritance.
If we're talking about the direct bloodline of the Shi family's main branch, there are only a few of them left, so how could their relationship be bad? Shi Lan believes that their relationship with them will remain just as good even after the next generation.
Everyone present was stunned after Shi Lan said those words.
