Chapter 55 The Bai Family Stole the Spotlight



This is probably the first time that fortune-telling has been done at the principal's home.

However, Chen Maoyuan had a very good impression of Ye Lan. When he stood at the door and watched Miao Lanying send people away, Zhu Jing half-jokingly said, "You old-fashioned old man, don't say that Master Ye is unlearned or I will get angry with you."

She knew her husband's belief that studying was the most important thing in everything, and she was afraid of accidentally offending Ye Lan.

"Madam, do you think I'm so pedantic and inflexible?" Chen Maoyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He put his arm around his wife's shoulders and sighed, "I used to be short-sighted, but today Master Ye enlightened me. Speaking of which, I really didn't know there was such a remarkable student in our school. He's so resolute and decisive, and he handles things with such composure. It's truly rare."

Seeing that he was sincerely praising her, Zhu Jing felt relieved and said with a smile, "I hope Xiaozhe can become friends with Master Ye in the future."

Chen Maoyuan didn't respond.

As the principal, he knew his son's character very well, but secretly he also hoped that Ye Lan could lead Chen Zhexi onto the right path.

So he went back into the house, retrieved the files, and looked for Ye Lan's name.

When I saw the class name, I was immediately happy.

Ye Lan and Chen Zhexi happen to be in the same class!

On the other side, Ye Lan didn't know that she had been silently entrusted with an important task. Miao Lanying warmly invited her to go shopping for clothes in the car.

"Haha, I haven't thanked you for helping Xiaojing today."

She was very generous in everything she said and did, and it was very comfortable to get along with her. Ye Lan didn't mind, so he nodded in agreement.

The car then drove into Jiangcheng's most prosperous financial pedestrian street and stopped in front of the largest department store.

"Let's go directly to the 17th floor. There are several stores there with clothes suitable for your age." Miao Lanying swiped her card in front of the elevator and pressed the floor number. She was still enthusiastically discussing what had just happened with Ye Lan, "So the marriage certificate didn't appear out of thin air, but Sister Juan worked together to get it from the Chen family?"

"Well, that person's magic power is not that profound. He can create objects out of thin air." Ye Lan nodded and answered casually.

Can you do it?

Miao Lanying swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth and changed the subject, saying, "Then the whole thing makes sense. They first harbored a grudge, then through investigation found Sister Juan, instigated her to poison Xiaozhe, and then helped them do the work, hoping to create a sneaky murder case and completely avoid legal responsibility. Their intentions are truly vicious."

Although she was used to seeing despicable tactics in the business world, she was still frightened by such vicious and cruel tactics.

Ye Lan was thinking that the three unidentified bodies dug out from the construction site might be related to the people working for Shifang.

The fact that he has brought the person in charge of the Imperial Capital Xuanmen Exchange Conference under his command shows that his influence has penetrated deeply into Xuanmen, and he is likely to cause more trouble in the future.

Thinking of this, she took out her cell phone and sent a message to Chen Maoyuan, asking for the information of the person who was originally in charge of the construction site.

"Okay, wait a moment." Chen Maoyuan replied quickly, and sent the information over after a while.

Ye Lan clicked it and took a look, his brows immediately furrowed slightly.

Bai family.

It’s the Bai family again.

It was the Bai family who hired three ancient warriors to attack Tang Sinian last night. Now it is the Bai family who is burying the bodies at the construction site and using people from the Xuanmen to do evil.

After pondering for a moment, she asked Miao Lanying beside her, "Sister Lan, do you know the situation of the Bai family in the imperial capital?"

"The Bai family?" Miao Lanying was startled, then nodded. "I know. Among the several wealthy families in the imperial capital, the Bai family isn't the richest, but they are the most famous. They made their fortune through the underground business of dealing in corpses, so they have dabbled in both the black and white worlds."

"But now they no longer work in the fields. Instead, they run an antique auction house. Their specific income and expenditure are unclear, but the Bai family is famous for another business."

Um?

Ye Lan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked over.

"Well, they're actually in the same business as you." Miao Lanying smiled softly and continued, "Perhaps it was because of the bad luck they had with the dead business. At first, the Bai family wasn't doing well, but then they somehow connected with the Imperial Capital's Xuanmen Sect, and their business started to flourish. Later, the Bai family even produced a peerless prodigy who went to the ancient martial arts world and became a beloved disciple of the sect. There are rumors that the Bai family has established a connection with the ancient martial arts world and will be able to continuously supply talents to the ancient martial arts world in the future. Therefore, in the Imperial Capital, other wealthy families, except for the Xiao family, will deliberately try to curry favor with the Bai family."

Only then did Ye Lan understand why Tang Sinian had that ugly expression on his face when he heard the mastermind behind the scenes last night.

In the imperial capital, the Bai family is probably still superior to the Tang family.

However, "Who is the person from the Bai family who entered the ancient martial arts world?" Ye Lan asked.

"Well, it seems to be called..." Miao Lanying said a name.

Ye Lan thought about it carefully and confirmed that there was no such person among the outstanding disciples of the major sects.

"These past few days, the Bai family has been sending out invitations widely and hosting grand banquets, stealing the spotlight. I heard that there's news from the ancient martial arts world that the Bai family has the best chance of being recommended." Miao Lanying said this with some yearning in her heart, but with her level, she could easily be among the top 100 in the country, but it was still not enough to compare with those wealthy and powerful families with a strong foundation in the imperial capital.

So I heard about the banquet and the ancient martial arts world from others.

Hearing her envious tone, Ye Lan gently turned the phone in his hand and said casually: "If you act so high-profile, you are not afraid that you will not be selected in the end."

"How could that be? The Bai family is..." Miao Lanying subconsciously wanted to refute, but then she thought that the girl might not understand this, so she gave up. Just then, they arrived at a clothing store, and she called out, "This is it. Let's go in and look at the clothes first."

"Yeah." Ye Lan lowered his head and sent the message, then threw the phone back into his pocket. Then he followed behind slowly into the store.

"Ms. Miao, you are here. The new season's styles are here. Please follow me."

As soon as she entered the store, a waiter came forward and served Miao Lanying attentively.

It can be seen that she is a regular customer of this store.

"Well, I'm mainly here to buy something for my friend today. Can you recommend some that suit her temperament?" Miao Lanying pointed directly at Ye Lan and smiled at her and explained, "This shop specializes in high-end customization. The masters are all old people from the palace back then. Their craftsmanship and styles are very good. You can take a look around and take anything you like."

The waiter opposite looked over curiously upon hearing this, and when he saw the girl's exquisite and beautiful face, a look of amazement flashed across his eyes.

Then I became very motivated to dress myself up to look better!

Ye Lan has never been too particular about what she wears. After all, there is a fixed style of the clan leader's robe in the clan, and she doesn't have to worry about matching it, so she just wants to buy two sets of summer sportswear to replace them.

But Miao Lanying disagreed, "You are so beautiful, it would be a shame if you don't dress up."

The waiter seemed to be full of energy, busying himself getting clothes for her and choosing styles. Finally, he stuffed dozens of sets of clothes into her and pushed her into the changing room.
