However, when Bian Que was mentioned, Ye Lan paused, thinking of her master who lived in a deep mountain. She felt that she should go back to visit him when she had time, otherwise he would blame her for not respecting his master and send people to hunt her down next time, which would be bad.
When leaving the cafe, Xie Chenan even changed his clothes.
When he saw the things in the bags, he suddenly realized that the girl was indeed buying things for him today.
The money I paid for the skin care products was worth it.
"Where are we going next?" Xie Chenan asked after getting in the car and restarting the engine.
Ye Lan reported the coordinates of the address, "Arc de Triomphe in the Imperial Capital."
The Arc de Triomphe is the location of the imperial capital's Xuanmen.
Today is the day when Luosha presides over the oath-taking ceremony.
When Ye Lan arrived, he saw from afar a long queue of luxury cars in front of the door, and a lot of bodyguards deployed around. Judging from the various styles of their uniforms, they should be the bodyguards of the Xuanmen people.
Xie Chenan took a look at the situation, and considering last night's live broadcast, he felt a little scared.
"I, I'll just go in with you, okay?"
If that doesn't work, he can just wait outside. Otherwise, when there's a fight, all the ghosts will cry and he'll get scared to pee and Ye Lan will have to take care of him. That would be a waste of time.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he was rejected.
"No." Ye Lan turned around and looked at him calmly, saying in a calm tone, "You are the owner of this invitation today."
"Ah?" Xie Chenan opened his mouth wide, staring blankly at the invitation in his hand. In a flash, he suddenly understood why Ah Yue looked at him with a teasing look along the way, why Ye Lan looked at him meaningfully when he said she couldn't help, and why she got up early in the morning to go shopping to help him change his appearance.
After all this time, it turns out she was waiting for him here!
Realizing that he was completely on the pirate ship, Xie Chenan had no way to escape now that the arrow was on the string. He could only silently suppress the fear in his heart and made one last request with a bitter face.
"I'm fine with the dirty work and the fighting, but can you please keep that thing out of my sight?"
In fact, he never dared to say it because he had been afraid of ghosts since he was a child.
So the sudden sneak attack by A Yue in the car gave him a nightmare all night last night, and he is still scared now.
However, Ye Lan did not agree immediately. After thinking for a few seconds, he just said, "I'll try my best."
After all, the opponent today is a stand-in. If there is blood in the fight, she really can't guarantee it.
After getting off the car, Xie Chenan walked in front, and Ye Lan, wearing a jumpsuit with the hood covering most of his face, lagged behind half a step.
The strange costumes that might attract attention in other places would not attract any attention at the Arc de Triomphe where all the Taoists gathered today.
So after handing over the invitation, the two received their seat numbers and entered the Xuanmen headquarters.
The towering courtyard walls and the Bagua architectural design, with every flower and grass in the courtyard placed in a fixed position, seem to be random, but in fact they form a Feng Shui formation.
Even from Ye Lan's perspective, it can be considered as average.
After passing the Feng Shui formation, you enter the first floor lobby where you will see dozens of tables of delicious food, with well-trained waiters serving the dishes.
"Masters, please take your seats first. Our director said that you have come from afar, so please enjoy the food first before discussing anything else."
The guest in charge of greeting greeted them with a smile and asked everyone to eat first.
The masters, dressed in various styles, sat down and started eating without refusing.
The atmosphere is a bit weird.
Ye Lan and Xie Chenan found their seats next to an inconspicuous table. As soon as they sat down, they heard a sneer from the side.
"This is the first time that the Imperial Capital Xuanmen has been so polite. In the past, even a small retainer would be looked down upon."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone at the next table interrupted, "Things are different now. The Xuanmen Sect in the imperial capital is now nothing more than a laughing stock in everyone's eyes. We are the only ones who are here to support this oath-taking ceremony. Do you think any prominent figures are willing to come?"
Hearing this, Xie Chenan subconsciously raised his eyes and glanced at the tables in front of him, "I really haven't seen anyone from the live broadcast room last night."
He had meant to tell Ye Lan, but because they were all sitting close together at a table, someone on the other side immediately said, "You saw how the Imperial Capital's Xuan Sect was humiliated during the live broadcast last night, especially when Nanji Xianweng was diagnosed with brain cancer in the hospital and would have passed away a moment later. It's only then that we realize that most of these so-called high-ranking officials in the Xuan Sect are just people seeking fame and reputation. So, all these masters felt insecure last night and rushed back to their own territories to take charge of the mountaintops overnight."
After saying that, the rest of the people at the table began to gloat over his misfortune, eating while treating the host as a snack.
Xie Chenan shrugged his shoulders and didn't join the rest of these small fry in adding insult to injury.
After a while, Luosha finally arrived. As he strode into the hall, his brows were tightly furrowed, as if something had not been handled properly and he was in a very irritable mood.
After entering the hall, he glanced at the people present, and suddenly a deeper annoyance flashed in his eyes. However, for the sake of tomorrow's important event, he quickly put on a smile and greeted everyone politely.
"Thank you all for taking the trouble to come here today. This oath-taking ceremony is also a gathering held by the Imperial Capital Xuanmen to connect with masters of metaphysics from all over the world. I hope to establish closer ties with all of you in the future."
This statement was both official and boring, and many people present secretly rolled their eyes and sneered.
At this time, some people who were just looking for fun raised their voices and asked, "Since you're inviting all the heroes in the world, why didn't you invite Master Wo Ting Feng Lan? I thought that once the reputation of the Imperial Capital Xuanmen spread, all the Xuanmen in the world would follow the Imperial Capital as their leader."
This statement was sharp and sarcastic, and immediately sparked a discussion on the spot.
Luosha tensed his face, resisting the urge to strangle the person who had spoken, and explained, "The invitation must have been sent to Master Wo Ting Fenglan, but the master replied that he was too busy recently, so he didn't come."
Haha, no one would believe that.
Everyone knew it, but they were unable to continue attacking due to the opponent's Tai Chi.
Seeing this, Luosha began to greet each table in the venue one by one with a wine glass in hand. The Xuanmen sect does not prohibit alcohol, so even though he called himself a poor monk, he still indulged in alcohol and meat.
Everyone only dared to laugh at the joke in private, and they were still afraid of Luosha openly, so no matter which table it was their turn, everyone was polite to each other.
Until the other party walked to the table in the corner, when the people at the table stood up and raised their glasses, suddenly a clear voice rose high.
"Director Luo, I heard you're going to grab the museum's new golden bowl tomorrow, and you want everyone to join you?"
Suddenly, the place fell silent.
Luosha paused, then suddenly raised his eyes and cast a sharp gaze at the source of the sound. What he saw was a young man with ordinary clothes and a strange face.
Xie Chenan was startled by the glare and subconsciously took two steps back. "Ah... Can't we talk about this? Sorry, I thought everyone knew."
After saying that, he covered his mouth to show that he didn't mean it.
But the place was already in an uproar, and everyone started talking.
