After being summoned, A Yue was also depressed and lay on the table. She came on this trip specifically to protect Meng Yao from any accidents during the kidnapping.
She understood very well what kind of malice a pretty little girl would suffer, and she also understood how difficult it was for girls to survive in an environment where men were superior to women.
"Do you think she will compromise?" A Yue asked Ye Lan softly, but her eyes were empty, as if she was muttering to herself.
Ye Lan put down his phone, not wanting to care about it anymore. Hearing this, he asked, "What do you think?"
Ah Yue pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "Yes, I think so. I heard that she has to support her brother's schooling. The little girl's hands are so rough, it's obvious that she has been working hard since she was a child."
Girls who grow up in such families will be ignored and enslaved by their parents all their lives. Even if they have their own families in the future, they will probably have to help their parents' family.
Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Ye Lan patted her head and gave an answer in a calm voice, "She won't do that this time."
"Really?!" A Yue sat up straight.
The audience in the live broadcast room also pricked up their ears.
"She values affection, but her kinship is as thin as paper. This is the root of her misfortune. But at the heart of a horoscope is the person, and their spirit plays a crucial role in determining their fate. That's why they say man conquers nature." Ye Lan slowly and unhurriedly analyzed the metaphysical art of destiny. "And after experiencing life and death, people often break through obsessions and unwillingness. The knife that will give her the courage to sever this ties is now in her hands."
Perhaps it was the prophecy Ye Lan said at the moment of the phone call, or perhaps it was the moment her parents came to persuade her, in any case, she was able to let go of everything and change her own destiny.
A Yue, the two young men behind her, and the audience in the live broadcast room were almost mesmerized by what they heard.
A long time after she finished speaking, Ah Yue sighed softly, "I feel that fate is so strange. It seems to control everyone, but it is also decided by everyone."
Ye Lan nodded slightly, agreeing with her point of view.
It was not until this time that the microphone function on the other side was turned on again, but Luosha did not say anything.
"Are you coming again?"
Ye Lan didn't ask who won or lost. He picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and asked in a calm voice.
"..." Luosha choked. This unwavering, naturally nonchalant attitude was a hundred times more embarrassing than a mocking one. Just a moment ago, he'd been able to retaliate with arrogance, but now, to continue the confrontation would seem presumptuous. So, he gritted his teeth, clasped his hands together, and said, "Let's stop here for today. I admit defeat."
At this point, I have to admit it even if I don't want to. It's better to be straightforward and save face.
"Yeah." Ye Lan didn't force it, nor was he modest and proud. He responded calmly and prepared to hang up the call.
"Hey, wait!" Luosha hurriedly stopped him and extended the invitation again. "Although I didn't get Master to agree today, the Xuanmen of the Imperial Capital is eager to recruit talented people. I very much hope that Master can attend the Xuanmen's oath-taking ceremony tomorrow. At that time, Xuanmen will definitely treat Master as a guest of honor."
The live broadcast room now has such high traffic. The more humble and courteous he is, the more favorable his attitude will be, and he may even be able to promote Xuanmen.
Even if Wo Ting Feng Lan could not invite him, other people from the Xuanmen would still give him some face.
However, this good plan soon fell through.
"No." Ye Lan refused without hesitation, and added slowly, "First, settle the dozen or so fake metaphysical masters in your company."
After she finished speaking, she casually turned off the connection, leaving Luosha's stiff expression in the opposite live broadcast room stuck in the middle of the screen, which then slowly twisted and cracked at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At the same time, barrages of comments also exploded one after another.
"Fuck, a dozen fake masters? Could this be the live broadcast room that was just closed after Wo Ting Feng Lan's fight?"
"Well-reasoned and well-founded, a precise strike. Damn, I didn't expect the Imperial Capital Xuanmen to arrange counterfeit goods to make money. I was wondering which company was so rampant and was about to complain to Xuanmen, but after a long time, it turns out that the thieves are from Xuanmen."
'Disgusting, live streaming like this, get out!'
'Get out!'
…
Seeing the overwhelming amount of abuse, the already arrogant Luosha could no longer bear it. With a dark face, he roared, "Turn off the live broadcast!"
That night, their plan to recruit Xuanmen people for siege was ultimately in vain.
Ye Lan's live broadcast room was filled with nothing but praise and people were kneeling down. The number of fans who had originally dropped soared again, and the number of people online was so large that the platform server exploded and froze.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Ye Lan had no intention of wasting time here any longer. He said hello to the audience and ended the live broadcast.
As soon as the live broadcast ended, Shi Feng called.
"Hello."
"Master Ye, it's me, hehe." Shi Feng's voice was cheerful, yet a little embarrassed, through the microphone. "I didn't expect you to be broadcasting live online, and I didn't expect the popular Wo Ting Feng Lan to be you. I thought you wouldn't help us. I was too narrow-minded."
This call was both a thank you and an apology.
He was an upright and honest person. It was only when he received Ye Lan's location information during the live broadcast and was notified to rescue people that he knew the whole story. He immediately blushed with embarrassment for his previous little thoughts.
"Yeah." Ye Lan nodded slightly, accepted his apology, and asked his local colleagues to help look after Meng Yao.
"Yes, don't worry about that. Furthermore, after questioning, we found that the kidnappers had accents from other realms. This matter is quite complex, so we will arrange for 24-hour witness protection during this period." Shi Feng couldn't help but laugh again. "Also, with your help tonight, Luosha's plan to win over more Xuanmen people has failed. With their reputation declining, I'm sure they won't dare to ask for the golden bowl too openly."
Ye Lan's move tonight not only suppressed the arrogance of the Xuanmen in the imperial capital, but also eased the crisis of their golden bowl inauguration ceremony the day after tomorrow, killing two birds with one stone.
At this point, Ye Lan suddenly asked, "Do you have an invitation to Xuanmen tomorrow?"
"Um, yes, are you going?" Shi Feng was a little surprised.
"I'm just going for a walk." Ye Lan answered casually.
Shi Feng didn't dare to ask any further questions. He just said that he would send the invitation over and ended the call.
The matter came to an end, and Chen Zhexi had completed the copy several times, so Ye Lan asked him to set off to report to the program crew.
Chen Zhexi was not very happy.
"Someone will take care of you over there." Ye Lan thought he was afraid to go alone.
"That's not why I'm here." Chen Zhexi curled his lips, secretly thinking that staying here and watching the girl and Xuanmen fight was more interesting than participating in some kind of variety show.
Unfortunately, before he could waste a few seconds, the boy's collar was suddenly lifted up, and his feet left the ground and flew directly into the air.
The familiar cool feeling behind him made him turn around and glare at Ah Yue. His face flushed red as he yelled, "Let me go. I...I can walk by myself!"
Ah Yue's lips curled up, and then she slowly let go of his hand, "Isn't it nice of me to give you a ride? Your kindness is taken for granted."
Chen Zhexi: “…”
He's a grown man, but he's being dragged away by a woman. Doesn't he have any dignity?!
