Chapter 277 Why can Jiang Lan do it but he can't? One level away from breaking through, the secret realm of time and space
"I don't really care about your identity and origin. In the Murong family for so many years, I have treated you as my own son. This is your secret. If you don't want anyone to know, then keep it deep in your heart."
Murong Qiutang said softly, still full of concern.
Luo Guyun pursed his lips, somewhat moved, but considering that this matter involved a lot of things, even including the origin of his father Luo Jiusheng.
"actually……"
"I want to tell Aunt Qiutang that I am not actually my father's biological son." Luo Guyun said.
Murong Qiutang was stunned, and then almost doubted whether she had heard it wrong, her beautiful eyes were full of suspicion.
Luo Guyun did not shy away from her and said, "For now, I can only reveal this to Aunt Qiutang. From now on, Aunt Qiutang does not have to look at other people's faces or rely on others. I am confident that I can help Aunt Qiutang and make the Murong family the largest force in the Four Star Regions. No one can despise it."
His words were full of confidence.
When his memory was restored just now, he also understood a lot more. When the Shi clan encountered a disaster, in order to help him escape, his grandfather sealed his memory and placed a seal to prevent him from holding a grudge and seeking revenge on his enemies.
At the same time, he also cut off all traces of cause and effect between him and the Time Clan, so as to prevent others from noticing and deducing his whereabouts.
As time goes by, those sealed memories will gradually awaken as his blood revives.
Now in Luo Guyun's sea of consciousness, the first seal of memory has been opened. He not only understands his own life experience, but also sees the ancient books and scriptures that the Shi clan has treasured for a long time, which are vast and boundless.
With the Jiekong Pei left to him by his grandfather and the help of the Shi Clan's vast heritage, he believed that he would soon be able to soar to the top of the ninety thousand miles...
During the period of blood recovery, he became more aware of the powerful talent that came from his blood, the power of time and space.
This gave Luo Guyun the confidence to face some of the Eighth Realm Powers head-on and contend with them without losing.
"Guoyun, your kindness touches me, but you don't need to worry about the current situation of the Murong family." Murong Qiutang smiled softly.
"Aunt Qiutang, do you mean relying on Jiang Lan?"
Luo Guyun's eyes suddenly became sharper and he looked directly at Murong Qiutang.
Murong Qiutang was stunned. She didn't know why Luo Guyun had such deep hostility towards Jiang Lan.
"Guoyun, tell your aunt honestly why you dislike Young Alliance Leader Jiang Lan so much. Logically speaking, you two have never met before. Your blood and qi were flowing turbulently today, and you almost damaged the source of your life. It was he who helped you sort it out..." Murong Qiutang still remained patient and spoke softly.
In her eyes, Luo Guyun might have the mentality of a child, or it might be because they were of the same age. When she saw Jiang Lan, whose cultivation and talent were higher than his, she felt unfair and inevitably a little jealous.
In fact, in her opinion, this is normal and it is human nature.
Not to mention Luo Guyun, even she would be envious of Jiang Lan's talent...
In comparison, it seemed that all the practice she had put into the dog in the first half of her life.
"Aunt Qiutang, you don't have to speak for that guy. I know that the situation in Kaiming Star Domain is critical now. The Murong family needs to rely on Jiang Lan to get through this difficult time."
"But I don't want you to become a different person, fawning on him, being servile, or even deliberately letting him take advantage of you..."
"I promised my father that I would help him take care of Aunt Qiutang, so I will protect you in the future and not let anyone bully you."
Luo Guyun suddenly stood up and blurted out everything that had been holding back in his heart for a while.
Perhaps because he understood his own life experience, he became much more confident.
While saying this, his eyes were burning and he stared into Murong Qiutang's eyes without blinking, very determined.
"Guoyun you..."
Murong Qiutang did not expect Luo Guyun to say this suddenly, and even his eyes became so bold, and she could not help but be stunned.
"The Young Alliance Leader didn't bully me. Things are not what you think, Gu Yun. The Young Alliance Leader is not as bad as you think..."
She reacted and explained subconsciously, not wanting Luo Guyun to misunderstand anything.
"Aunt Qiutang, why are you still defending him at this time?"
"You were never like this before..."
Luo Guyun never thought that Murong Qiutang would actually defend Jiang Lan. It didn't even look like she was saying that on purpose out of fear of offending Jiang Lan.
I just don't want him to misunderstand Jiang Lan...
This made Luo Guyun's heart tighten suddenly. This was not the Aunt Qiutang that he knew.
She is cold, dignified, noble and elegant, and she treats men as nothing. There are very few men in the world that she takes seriously.
It's only been a few days, how could her relationship with Jiang Lan be so good?
"Aunt Qiutang, did Jiang Lan cast some ancient curse on you, causing you to obey him?"
Luo Guyun suddenly thought of a possibility. In his revived memory, there was indeed a record of such an ancient curse, called the Kind of Magic Curse.
After all, Jiang Lan has a high level of cultivation and unpredictable methods, so it is not surprising that he has similar methods.
Ever since Murong Qiutang paid him a night visit that night, his personality seemed to have changed a little...
His eyes suddenly became fierce, and there was a purple-gold light surging in them. At the same time, the vertical line between his eyebrows became faintly visible, and the eyes in it seemed to be about to open, and the purple light became stronger.
"Guoyun, what on earth are you talking about?" Murong Qiutang looked at him in shock and confusion.
"Aunt Qiutang, don't worry. I will help you get rid of the ancient curse and protect you from Jiang Lan's manipulation..."
In Luo Guyun's palm, runes flickered and light flowed. He stretched out his hand and was about to grab Murong Qiutang's shoulders to restrain her and make her calm down.
Snap...
But the next moment, a crisp slap sound suddenly rang out in the room.
Luo Guyun's expression froze for a moment, then he covered his slightly red face and looked at Murong Qiutang in disbelief.
"What on earth are you doing?"
"Luo Guyun?"
Murong Qiutang's face was frosty, but her beautiful eyes were misty as she stared at him coldly.
At this moment, she seemed to have become the respected and feared Queen Mantuo on the ancient planet Mantuo.
"Aunt Qiu...Aunt Qiutang..." It was the first time in Luo Guyun's life that he was slapped in the face like this, and he was still a little dazed.
"You disappoint me so much..."
After saying that, Murong Qiutang reached out to wipe away the crystal tears that had fallen from the corners of her eyes. With a cold face, she no longer paid attention to Luo Guyun, who was standing there in a daze with an expression of disbelief, and turned around and strode out of the room.
Soon, the footsteps slowly faded away.
"Why……"
Luo Guyun came back to his senses, still covering his red face, unable to calm down for a long time.
On the other side, in the room, Jiang Lan, who had been watching the lively scene, also withdrew his gaze and smiled meaningfully.
Logically speaking, he didn't actually offend this son of luck, but it seemed as if the two of them were born to clash, and this son of luck just didn't like him in every way.
Even his "kind" actions were seen as ulterior motives by others.
"If you keep going like this, the beautiful aunt you've been dreaming about will become my shape."
Jiang Lan stood up and walked outside. The beauty was crying sadly, so this was naturally the best time to go forward and comfort her.
The ancient warship was speeding through the deep space. Murong Qiutang, with a cold face and red eyes, stood on the deck, leaning on the railing and gazing into the distance, her long black hair fluttering.
She looked at the boundless darkness in the distance and the twinkling stars, and her mood slowly calmed down.
She had always thought that as long as she explained things clearly to Luo Guyun, he would understand...
But she really didn't expect that Luo Guyun was so stubborn that he would rather suspect that she was cursed by Jiang Lan than believe her.
In her eyes, Luo Guyun has always been very obedient. When he was in the Murong family, even though he was a nobody, he would not cause trouble like other disciples from other families.
Sometimes she would even receive messages from him about interesting gadgets he saw while out and about, and she would often hear his caring words...
During this period, Luo Guyun demonstrated a cultivation strength far beyond that of ordinary people, which made her feel gratified and happy for him.
Especially when she saw that Luo Guyun revealed his strength for her, she was even more moved.
He was worried about his own safety, so he contradicted the elders. He would consider himself in everything and even accompanied them all the way to the Gou Chen Palace.
Although Murong Qiutang has no children, she really wants to have a child as sensible and filial as Luo Guyun.
But Luo Guyun's actions and words today made her so sad and disappointed.
"I heard from the elders patrolling outside that they saw you walking out of Luo Guyun's room with red eyes and coming here alone. Did something happen?"
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind. Without the casual teasing of the past, it seemed much more concerned and serious.
Murong Qiutang wiped the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, turned around and looked at Jiang Lan who was walking towards her. The sadness and grief in her heart became even stronger.
Luo Guyun's resistance and disgust towards Jiang Lan were more serious than she thought.
She didn't know how to explain this to Jiang Lan.
"It's not a big deal, sorry to make you worry..." Murong Qiutang shook her head and replied.
"Is it because of me that you quarreled with your stepson?" Jiang Lan walked to Murong Qiutang, stood shoulder to shoulder with her, and asked speculatively.
Murong Qiutang nodded and said a little embarrassedly, "Guoyun's misunderstanding of you may be a bit too big..."
Jiang Lan smiled indifferently and said, "Did you quarrel with him because of this and even cried for it?"
Murong Qiutang's personality made her very sensitive to the word "cry". Her fair and delicate face blushed slightly, but in front of Jiang Lan, there was no need to force it, so she just nodded softly.
Jiang Lan looked at her, his smile seemed very free and easy, and said, "In fact, I don't care how the world sees me or how they think of me. After a few years, I will stand on the top and look back. They are just a handful of yellow dust. The road is long and the years are ruthless. The joy and anger of the day and night are just a moment. Only the way of heaven is eternal, reciprocating and never changing."
"You and I are just a small boat trying to cross the ocean, so why should we be burdened by other people's emotions and thoughts?"
Murong Qiutang looked at him in a daze. Such a free and easy temperament was something she could never achieve now. Only by not being happy with things or sad with herself could she see her own heart clearly.
She suddenly thought of the many comments about Jiang Lan from the outside world and some of his experiences in Kyushu.
Perhaps it is this kind of mentality that has allowed Jiang Lan to always have a clear mind and rise to the top, leaving others far behind.
When she looked at Jiang Lan, there was a bit more admiration and respect in her eyes that she had never had before.
"Guoyun has grown up after all, and has his own ideas and thoughts. Since I can't change his opinion, why should I be so persistent?"
Murong Qiutang felt that his mood was much more relaxed at this moment. After being trapped in a cage for a long time, he was finally able to return to nature today.
With a bang, her cheekbones suddenly brightened, and a brilliant mist spread. A little soul figurine that looked exactly like her also glowed all over, walked out of the Soul Palace, and was filled with a crystal-like aura.
A bridge of calamity with colorful rays of light descended from her forehead and extended to the spiritual sea...
Under this circumstance, Murong Qiutang had an epiphany and broke through on the spot.
Jiang Lan was surprised. He didn't really intend to give any advice. He could only say that Murong Qiutang's state of mind was indeed burdened by worldly affairs.
Just now, I suddenly realized everything, shed the shackles, brushed off the dust, and my cultivation was perfected, so I broke through naturally.
Rolling calamity clouds gathered, and lightning flashed. Murong Qiutang was originally an eighth-level powerful being who had survived three levels of heavenly calamity.
This breakthrough can be regarded as a successful step into the realm of supreme power.
Although the commotion was huge, Jiang Lan was there to protect her, so she escaped unharmed.
A few hours later, the clouds above Murong Qiutang dissipated, and a black lotus-like long skirt, wrapped around her voluptuous and graceful figure, fell from the sky. Her long black hair fluttered, and her cold and dignified face was filled with unexpected joy.
Maybe Jiang Lan’s words just now had an effect on her.
Murong Qiutang, who had been somewhat shy and unnatural in front of others, now seemed very natural and generous. She went straight to Jiang Lan and took his arm with affection and emotion.
Many powerful figures from the Gou Chen Palace and the Xian Dao League tactfully withdrew their gazes.
Even if no one said it, everyone could see the relationship between Murong Qiutang and Jiang Lan.
If he didn't have some connections, how could Jiang Lan have nothing to do and go to Mantuo Ancient Star, and even go to the family to help them take charge? "Jiang Lan..."
Luo Guyun also withdrew his gaze, but his fists clenched subconsciously.
In fact, when Murong Qiutang was undergoing the tribulation just now, he wanted to show up to protect her, but with Jiang Lan there, he could only endure it.
Now seeing Murong Qiutang actually taking Jiang Lan's arm so actively, with that charming face full of emotion, he felt as if there was a thorn in his heart, and he felt that this scene was very dazzling.
Could it be that Murong Qiutang really fell in love with Jiang Lan? What was so good about Jiang Lan? Her looks? Her family background? Her power? Her cultivation talent?
He was a playboy and had affairs with many women. The number of women he had relationships with was simply too numerous to count.
Murong Qiutang knew all this, but she still went along with it? What on earth was she thinking? Luo Guyun really didn't want to believe it, and always thought that Jiang Lan must have done something to Murong Qiutang.
His adoptive father Luo Jiusheng was at least a strong man from an immortal family outside the world. His vision and conversation, after being influenced by his background, were not comparable to those of people in the world. He had been with Murong Qiutang for many years, but he had never seen Murong Qiutang fall in love with him. How long had she known Jiang Lan now?
"Jiang Lan has a high level of cultivation and incredible power. Aunt Qiutang probably doesn't want me to offend him, so she did this."
"If she really loved Jiang Lan, why would she still remain a virgin? Even if Jiang Lan didn't do anything to her, he probably forced her..."
At this moment, Luo Guyun thought of many possibilities, and he became more and more anxious.
He would not allow Murong Qiutang to be touched by Jiang Lan.
"I must become stronger to save Aunt Qiutang from the sea of fire..."
Luo Guyun believed in his idea without a doubt, and then began to immerse his mind in the vast memories to absorb the heritage of the Shi clan.
In fact, even he was unwilling to admit that he had some unknown thoughts about Murong Qiutang, whom he had been in contact with since childhood.
This idea gradually expanded after his memory was restored and he learned about his own life experience.
Murong Qiutang's protective attitude towards Jiang Lan made Luo Guyun feel very unwilling.
Why can Jiang Lan, who is "useless" and not a good person, do it, but he can't? ...
"It's foggy..."
After setting out from the Gou Chen Palace and traveling for several days, the ancient warship finally approached the ancient star Mantuo.
However, when they were about to land over Gusu City where the Murong family was located, many patrolling masters of the Gou Chen Palace suddenly discovered a heavy fog ahead.
The thick fog enveloped the deep sky and just happened to float over from above the city of Gusu. From a distance, it looked like strands of fluffy willow leaves.
"I have already contacted the family and prepared a welcoming banquet. This heavy fog should not have any impact."
Murong Qiutang also came to the deck and looked over with slightly frowned brows.
In the room, Luo Guyun suddenly felt something was wrong for some reason.
He walked out and looked at the thick fog below, trying to use secret methods to explore it, but he could not find out anything.
"This palpitation wouldn't appear for no reason..."
Luo Guyun subconsciously glanced at Jiang Lan not far away.
Murong Qiu and Jiang Lan stood together. Since she slapped Luo Guyun that day, the two had not spoken to each other since then.
On the contrary, when she was with Jiang Lan before, she had to avoid everyone, but now she doesn't care at all.
This made Luo Guyun more and more annoyed and irritable. He would secretly look at Murong Qiutang every day to see if she had lost her Yuan Yin.
This has almost become a habit for him.
Fortunately, Murong Qiutang has always adhered to the bottom line, which made Luo Guyun feel uncomfortable. Then he silently comforted himself that as long as the paper has not been broken...
Although he knew that with Jiang Lan's personality, he might just be about to break through the paper with Murong Qiutang.
After all, a man and a woman were alone in the same room, so it was impossible that nothing had happened. Could it be that they were exchanging their cultivation experiences all night? Boom!!!
Suddenly, when Luo Guyun was upset, the ancient warship under his feet seemed to hit something suddenly. The thick fog just now became extremely turbulent, and it enveloped the sky all of a sudden.
Many experts from the Gouchen Palace and the Xiandao League were all shocked. Some of them suddenly opened their eyes wide and cried out, "What is this..."
The fog was thick, and suddenly, above the sky of Gusu City, there appeared layer upon layer of mountains. They were thousands of feet high, but incomplete. They seemed to have appeared suddenly, and were floating in the sky. They were extremely majestic and large in scale, and it was impossible to tell how vast their range was.
Wisps of space-time fluctuations are transmitted through it.
"Could this be a secret realm of time and space..."
Luo Guyun's eyes widened slightly.
As a descendant of the Time Clan, he was very sensitive to this kind of fluctuation, so he noticed it at the first moment.
Could it be that there is an unknown secret space and time realm in the sky above Gusu City, which suddenly appeared on his way back this time? "It must be my bloodline that attracted this secret space and time realm, causing it to descend into the world."
"The slight feeling of palpitations just now should have come from this secret realm of time and space." Luo Guyun guessed, and then his mood suddenly became excited.
Since the secret realm of time and space came into being because of him, there must be opportunities and fortunes belonging to him in it.
He was eager to improve his strength, so here came the opportunity, right?
