"Lanxi, you've been hiding it really well. For so many years, I thought you were just an ordinary person. If you hadn't secretly helped me tonight and caused some fluctuations in spiritual energy, I wouldn't have been able to detect your presence."
Looking at his good friend Lanxi in front of him, Xu Xiwang showed a bitter smile.
Having spent many years with Lanxi, they were two well-known friends in Beijing, one a super sycophant and the other a super playboy.
Xu Xi never imagined that Lan Xi was hiding such a deep secret; his strength had already broken through to the Saint Realm.
This made Xu Xiwang wonder if Lanxi had also been possessed.
Seeing Xu Xiwang looking at her with a scrutinizing and suspicious gaze, Lanxi panicked: "Hey! You don't think I've been possessed, do you? Please use your brain, okay? Don't you know what kind of person I am? Do I look like I've been possessed? I'm not that unlucky guy Han Yijian! My Lan family has always been upright and honest!"
Hearing Lanxi's words, Xu Xiwang finally suppressed his doubts.
Indeed, if it were someone else who were to possess another body, they would definitely need to find a physical body that matches their own, otherwise they would quickly suffer a backlash and die after possessing another body.
The Lan family has always been low-key and is known for its wealth. There are many experts in the family, so there is no reason for them to possess Lanxi.
"Lanxi, I'm asking you, why did you help me?"
"Of course I'm your buddy, do you think I'd just sit idly by?"
Lanxi answered without hesitation.
"hehe."
Xu Xiwang shook his head and chuckled softly, "I always felt like you were hiding something from me... No! You never really treated me like a brother!"
"Holy crap! What the hell are you spouting?!"
Lanxi panicked upon hearing this and quickly retorted, "Are you an idiot? If you don't trust me, let's cut ties right now!"
"But to be honest, you should know that although I've kept some things from you, our feelings for each other are real. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do about it. Do whatever you want. But there's one thing I need to tell you."
Lanxi became serious and looked at Xu Xiwang intently.
Xu Xiwang knew he had gone a bit too far just now. After all, he had known Lanxi for many years and knew his character best.
Having known each other for many years, Xu Xiwang was naturally very familiar with Lanxi. Although he appeared carefree and nonchalant on the surface, he was actually cautious, steady, and rarely smiled.
"What's up?"
Xu Xiwang frowned and looked at him.
"Don't be too flamboyant. The world is currently rife with undercurrents. Countless hidden old monsters are awakening, and powerful families and newly rising forces are plotting for a new master. If you show your prowess now, you'll likely become a thorn in their side. Many are already eyeing you."
Lanxi solemnly reminded him.
Xu Xiwang was taken aback. He hadn't expected the situation to develop so seriously, and he asked with concern, "What do you mean by the so-called hidden old monster?"
Lanxi shook her head: "I'm not entirely sure yet. But I guess they must all be ancient monsters who have cultivated for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, with astonishing strength that is far beyond the reach of ordinary Saint Realm cultivators."
Are you in trouble?
Xu Xiwang frowned. "Otherwise, you wouldn't be talking like that."
"I am already caught in the vortex."
Lanxi sighed and said, "All the powerful members of the Dragon Mansion are guarding the seal of the Sinful Land in the lower realm and have no time to spare. Strange beasts are invading cities and causing riots everywhere. In the shadows, various forces are also making moves. Our four great families are falling apart and the situation is critical."
