Thinking of Xiaobai, Lan Ziye felt sad again. After killing a Taishan Demon King and traveling for three thousand years, she lost too much!
Lan Ziye nodded firmly and said, "Xiaobai is dead. Would you like to take Xiaobai's place and become my Shikigami?"
"Xiaobai is dead?" The little fox blinked in disbelief, its obsidian eyes blinking. It muttered blankly, then said with a firm expression, "The little fox is willing to be the patriarch's shikigami. The little fox will definitely protect the patriarch better than Xiaobai ever could!"
Lan Ziye smiled with relief and said, "It's Su Muhan!"
"Yes, Su Muhan will definitely become a most competent Shikigami!" the little fox said firmly.
A drop of blood flew out from Lan Ziye's fingertips, and the contract began.
The contract was completed. Lan Ziye put the little fox into the Shikigami space, took a deep breath and said, "Su Muhan, now it's my turn to protect you. Don't worry, I will never let you die in front of me again!"
Time passed by little by little in Lan Ziye's sadness and anxiety.
In the evening, the Third Young Master hurried to Lan Ziye's room, sat down across from the table in Lan Ziye's room, drank a sip of tea, and said lightly: "Chu Siyuan is in trouble!"
As soon as these words came out, Lan Ziye stood up suddenly as if he was sitting on a spring, and asked nervously, "What's going on?"
The Third Young Master took another sip of tea and said, "Chu Siyuan went to Monster King Mountain to look for you, and was seriously injured there. When the Chu family found him, he was already unconscious. The Chu family has searched for every doctor they could find, but none of them could help him. I just sent the Lan family's alchemist and physician to check on him, and they both said there's no cure. He probably won't survive more than two days!" He sighed. What a good young man! What a pity!
Lan Ziye only felt a flash of lightning striking his head, buzzing!
If Chu Siyuan died, what hope would Chu Xixuan have?
But, that shouldn't be the case! According to Bing Xinlan, if she hadn't come back, Chu Siyuan would have become the head of the family, would have married Lan Xiaoyue, would have helped the Lan family rise, would have left behind the ancestral precept of marrying Lan Zitong, and would have brought Chu Xixuan to her three thousand years later.
Thinking of this, Lan Ziye calmed down, sat down again, looked at his third brother and said, "I remember you have a Ice Heart Orchid there, right?"
The Third Young Master was a little confused. Wasn't the topic changed a little too quickly?
The Third Young Master looked at Lan Ziye in confusion and asked, "Why are you asking this?"
"Give it to me!" Lan Ziye said.
The Third Young Master laughed and teased, "You want to grow flowers? Haha, as long as you promise not to kill my precious Ice Heart Orchid, I'll give it to you!"
Lan Ziye, however, was in no mood to joke with her third brother. She said, "I want to go see Chu Siyuan and take Bing Xinlan with me!"
The Third Young Master was surprised and said, "Xiao Ye, you really do have a plan! When people visit a patient, they bring supplements, fruits, and the more generous ones bring elixirs. What's the big deal about you bringing a pot of Ice Heart Orchid?"
"I still want medicine, Grandpa!" Lan Ziye continued.
"The Medicine King?" The Third Young Master asked in astonishment. "He's our Lan family's chief alchemist. Even when an elder of the clan is in trouble, they can't summon the Medicine King. You want to bring the Medicine King to the Chu family?"
"What? As the head of a family, can't I ask the Medicine King to help me save one person?" Lan Ziye said a little unhappily.
The Third Young Master was even more bewildered. It seemed Xiaoye and Chu Siyuan didn't have that much of a relationship? The last time Chu Siyuan said he'd fallen in love with Xiaoye at first sight, he'd already been stunned. Now Xiaoye was acting like this again. Could it be that the two of them were secretly having an affair, somewhere unseen by their brothers?
