In this way, although Xie Changhua failed in the second level, he still stayed in Xuanzong and became an outer disciple.
He even suspected that if he had taken out the brocade bag earlier, he would have been able to enter the sect without taking the test. So later, unable to suppress his curiosity, he privately tried to inquire about the girl's identity once or twice.
But the most experienced cook in the sect said that there was no such young female disciple.
It was not until he met Ye Lan today that he confirmed that she was not from Xuanzong, as the other brothers looked so unfamiliar with her and didn't know her at all.
Although he is not a disciple of Xuanzong, he has a secret bag that allows him to enter the sect as an exception.
The girl's existence is full of weirdness.
"Who are you?" Seeing that she didn't answer, Xie Changhua asked again with a stronger tone, "How did you get that lucky bag?"
He was not good at disguising himself, and he could not hide his thoughts when he was angry. At this moment, he almost had the words "I suspect you have killed Xuanzong's disciples" carved on his face.
Ye Lan knew his stubborn and stubborn personality, and didn't want to explain. He just casually asked, "How can you be sure that there wasn't a traitor in Xuanzong who sold the things to me?"
These words were meant to trick the other party and disrupt his thoughts.
But upon hearing this, the other party's expression suddenly changed.
"Huh?" Ye Lan, who was about to pass by, paused, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked curiously: "Really?"
"I don't know what you're talking about." Xie Changhua was already in a state of panic. He didn't care about the previous topic and looked away, urging: "Wu Heng is already in the martial arts field. Turn right and you can go there by yourself. I have something else to do..."
Having said this, he turned around and started walking out.
Unfortunately, before he could take two steps, Ye Lan grabbed his collar and pulled him back, pressing him against the wall.
Bang.
She always used a lot of force when she struck, and the youngest's eyelids began to twitch uncontrollably when he heard the noise.
"Ye Lan, calm down. This is a disciple of Xuanzong. We are on his territory now. If you beat him up, we might not be able to leave!"
But no matter what he said, Ye Lan remained indifferent. Xie Changhua, who was held down, had the same idea, so he gritted his teeth and decided not to confess no matter how severely he was tortured.
However, when it comes to thinking, Ye Lan is a hundred times smarter than Xie Chenan, not to mention that he is just dealing with the upright eldest son of the Xie family.
"Your brother is still in my hands."
The words were so light and apparently had no weight, but in an instant, Xie Changhua's eyes widened and his voice began to tremble, "No, don't hurt Chen An..."
Ye Lan loosened his hand, stood aside and said in a distant tone, "Then tell the truth."
Xie Changhua already felt guilty towards his younger brother Xie Chenan, and now he was being held in such a weak position that he could no longer resist. He lowered his head dejectedly and spoke softly after a while, "I discovered it by accident. There's a secret passage over to the kitchen. I've seen a figure going in and out there three times."
Kitchen secret passage.
Ye Lan knew about this. When she was a child, the elders always liked to bother her for no reason. She didn't like nagging, so she often took advantage of the mechanisms inside and outside Xuanzong. The secret passage was one of them she discovered, and she had entered and exited it several times.
"How do you know it wasn't a disciple of the sect who sneaked out?" Ye Lan put forward a hypothesis. After all, although Xuanzong was not as uncontrolled as Beidouzong, the atmosphere was still quite relaxed. Disciples occasionally went out once or twice, and the sect turned a blind eye.
"No." But Xie Changhua denied this possibility without hesitation, saying seriously, "Because that was an ordinary person."
Ordinary people.
As soon as these three words came out, Ye Lan frowned slightly, feeling that something was really wrong.
Not to mention that there are very few ordinary people who can enter the ancient martial arts world and climb the ladder, there are also restrictions in front of the gate of Xuanzong Mountain. People who don’t know ancient martial arts can’t enter easily.
But Ye Lan believed that Xie Changhua, who was upright in character, would not lie.
"Who else have you mentioned this to?" she pondered.
Xie Changhua also shook his head honestly, "No, there is no evidence. I am just an outer disciple. No one would believe me. It might also alert the enemy. So I just watched it myself whenever I had time. I wanted to catch him and send him directly to the punishment hall."
He is a fair person, but not a fool. He has been managing the Xie family's business for many years and has a calm personality and is not impulsive.
Ye Lan nodded slightly, approving of his approach, and then instructed: "Keep watching, and notify me if you have any news."
This sounds a bit weird.
But Xie Changhua was too upset to pay any attention. Seeing her about to leave after asking, he quickly ran over to stop her and summoned up the courage to ask, "Where's my brother? If you can't guarantee my brother's safety right now, I won't hide my identity for you."
There was a huge gap in strength between the two, but Ye Lan was impressed that he could still stand up at this moment.
She took out her cell phone from her pocket, dialed a number and threw it to the other party.
Xie Changhua took it in a panic, still confused, until the vague voice in the receiver sounded familiar. He raised it to his ear and said, "Chen An?"
The two brothers talked to each other. Ye Lan took the youngest son outside first. He did not leave in a hurry, but stood in front of a rockery.
Just as she was calculating Xuanzong's fortune with her fingers, she heard a hesitant voice beside her.
"That...Ye Lan."
"Hmm?" Ye Lan turned her head and saw Xiaoer looking at her, wanting to say something but stopping.
The other party held it in for a long time, and finally said, "I didn't expect that you are quite skilled in the criminal method of kidnapping and threatening."
Ye Lan: “…”
She glanced over lightly and saw the youngest child jump three meters away with obvious fear on his face.
