From Lan Ziye's brows, Chu Xixuan could see the innocence and happiness in her when she talked about the past. That was the expression a fifteen-year-old girl should have. Chu Xixuan suddenly felt a little sad. Did she like the so-called three thousand years ago so much?
Chu Xixuan said thoughtfully, "The way you speak now is different from your usual appearance. You seem quite excited! Were you like this three thousand years ago?"
Lan Ziye put away the excitement on his face, a layer of melancholy covered his eyes, and he smiled bitterly: "Yes! In the past, I could do anything without restraint. After all, if the sky fell, I had my three brothers to support me, and the entire Lan family to support me. Moreover, in that era, I was almost invincible. Those monsters were my toys, and I could challenge anyone I wanted. I also had a group of comrades, they were all very powerful and unrestrained. We completed missions, fought, took risks together, and did things that seemed ridiculous in the eyes of the world. We used the sky as our roof and the earth as our home, wandered the world, cried loudly, laughed loudly, drank wine with big gulps, and ate meat with big mouthfuls. It was so comfortable!" Lan Ziye turned his head and looked at Chu Xixuan seriously, "You said that as long as I do my best, it will be fine, but in this era, the three words "myself" alone are already shackles!"
"But, didn't you say you were the head of the Lan family?" Chu Xixuan asked in disbelief.
How can a family head have so much freedom and act so recklessly?
"But I am the sole and undisputed head of the family! Three thousand years ago, the Lan family was the leader of the five major families, and with me, the purple-eyed head of the family, our strength is absolutely overwhelming that of other families. I am also the chosen one, born with purple eyes, and no one in the family would be crazy enough to seek power and usurp the throne. Apart from my three brothers, no one else dares to restrain me!" Lan Ziye smiled, "Even my three brothers love me more than they blame me. Well... although they get angry and always hit me, they just raise the ruler high and then gently lower it. By the way, the punishment I received the most was kneeling in the ancestral hall. Almost as long as I was in the family, I had to kneel once every three days and once every five days. But it didn't matter. After all, I had kneeling since I was a child and had experience, and I could always find ways to get away with it. Besides, my maid Xiao Cui would often steal some food for me. If there was wine and meat, I would still drink and eat big chunks of meat!"
Chu Xixuan suddenly remembered Lan Ziye's drunken appearance and smiled, "But you can't drink much, and your drinking habits aren't very good either! Aren't you afraid that drinking will cause you to make mistakes and make people laugh at you?"
Speaking of this, Lan Ziye's face suddenly turned red, and he said awkwardly: "The wine here is not good, and..." At this point, Lan Ziye pursed his lips and said, "The spiritual energy here is scarce, maybe my body has been affected."
"Anyway, I'm famous for being able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. I'm not as easily drunk as you think!" Lan Ziye frowned and retorted seriously.
"How about... next time we use the Spiritual Energy Generator?" Chu Xixuan raised his eyes and looked at Lan Ziye jokingly. "Who knows, there might be unexpected gains, such as: dual cultivation!"
Lan Ziye felt a sudden explosion on his face, as if fire had burst out, burning his entire face terribly.
She said awkwardly: "Who wants to practice dual cultivation with you? Shameless!"
Chu Xixuan laughed softly.
But he had an idea in his mind. Since he decided to keep Lan Ziye, he must let Lan Ziye have the freedom and ease she had three thousand years ago. He must give her this kind of freedom and ease.
