Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 568 Experience of The Untamed 37

Jiang Wanyin and Jiang Cheng naturally would not sit idly by and watch Jin Guangshan ruin Jiang Yanli's reputation. Just as they were preparing to fight back, they were stopped by a letter from Mrs. Jin.

Mrs. Jin stated in the letter that she would ensure that Jin Ling would successfully inherit the Lanling Jin family. She even gave Jiang Yanli a very secret location, saying that it contained all her collections, as well as Jin Guangshan's private belongings that had been smuggled out over the years and the Jin family's collections.

Jiang Cheng casually glanced at the contents of the letter and couldn't help but sigh, "It's such a pity to pair a woman like Madam Jin with Jin Guangshan."

Mrs. Jin herself is not a good person, but she raised her son Jin Zixuan very well. Even though Jin Zixuan also has the problem of looking at faces, he is very clear-headed when it comes to women, unlike Jin Guangshan, who is an old and rotten fox. If he can successfully inherit the Lanling Jin family, he can really reverse the reputation of the Jin family in one fell swoop, and it is not impossible to bring the Jin family to another level.

It's a pity that Jin Zixuan died young before he could ascend to the throne, and even before he aroused the fear of his biological father Jin Guangshan. What's more, the father and son, Jin Guangyao and Jin Guangshan, were involved in the case. So now Jin Guangshan is trying his best to maintain the situation of Jin Ling's succession to the throne, and he may not be without guilt towards his son Jin Zixuan.

The Jin Guangshan couple at Jinlingtai were still fighting each other. Even though they were so wary of each other that they wanted to kill each other, there was no possibility of reconciliation due to Meng Yao's remote micro-manipulation.

And Meng Yao did not hide all this from Lan Huan. Instead, it seemed as if she had deliberately revealed it to Lan Huan.

Perhaps because of his experiences since childhood, Meng Yao always seems to be a little flattering when facing everyone. Although Lan Huan doesn't quite understand that this behavior itself is abnormal, he can feel that Meng Yao has gone a bit too far. So all the time when he interacted with Meng Yao, he was caring and treated him equally. He really gave Meng Yao enough sense of security inadvertently. No wonder Meng Yao really treated him differently.

So even though Meng Yao openly showed Lan Huan how she instigated Jin Guangshan and Madam Jin, Lan Huan just sighed as he looked at Meng Yao's thin body, and didn't say anything unpleasant.

Even when Lan Qiren was questioning him, Lan Huan was still trying to excuse Meng Yao: "Master Jin did a lot of wrong things back then, and now Master Jin has accused A Yao of patricide and kicked him out of the house. It's normal for him to feel resentful and want to take revenge."

Lan Qiren was able to allow Meng Yao to recuperate in the Cloud Recesses because the evidence obtained by the Lan family in recent days showed that she was most likely unrelated to Jin Guangshan's poisoning. But now Meng Yao's conspiracy against Jin Guangshan and his wife was directly and unreservedly displayed to Lan Huan, and Lan Qiren felt that Meng Yao might be the next Wei Wuxian.

So Lan Qiren warned his nephew, who had always been a responsible person since childhood, "Xichen, you have been in charge of the Gusu Lan Clan for quite a few years now. And there was Wei Wuxian who made your brother rebel, and you are just standing by and watching the fun?"

"Meng Yao is indeed pitiful, but all his sufferings were caused by Jin Guangshan. Of course, our Lan family can help him, but you must also be careful about the degree of the situation."

In Lan Qiren's heart, Meng Yao looked well-behaved and honest on the surface, but in fact, she was far inferior to Wei Wuxian, who seemed to be romantic, willful and rebellious. Wei Wuxian was just ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, and his nature was kind and upright. Although he later changed his ways and killed himself for unknown reasons, it was probably because his resentment affected his character.

Meng Yao is different. He looks gentle and versatile. To put it bluntly, such a person is inevitably scheming. If he wants to do evil, the consequences will be far more serious than those of someone like Wei Wuxian.

Especially now that Meng Yao has set his sights on Lan Huan, the head of the Gusu Lan family, Lan Qiren will absolutely not tolerate him staying in the Cloud Recesses.

Lan Qiren said sternly, "Xi Chen, it's been a long time since what happened to Master Meng, and Sect Master Jin has no time to care about other things. It's time for Master Meng to leave the mountain."

Lan Huan wanted to plead for Meng Yao, but was interrupted by Lan Qiren: "Since you think that Master Meng was caught in an unprovoked disaster that day, you should send him down the mountain so that he can investigate the cause."

Lan Huan had nothing to say and still used the excuse that Meng Yao's old injury had not healed to keep Meng Yao for more than a month. Meng Yao was smart and observant, and she easily concluded from the expressions of others that Lan Qiren did not welcome him. In order not to embarrass Lan Huan, he took the initiative to say goodbye and go down the mountain.

As soon as Meng Yao left, Lan Zhan, who had already come out of seclusion, followed her. Although Wen Ning's loss of control still seemed confusing, Lan Zhan intuitively felt that this matter was related to Meng Yao. As long as the world did not know the specific reasons, he would not let up his investigation.

But since Meng Yao had already decided to go down the mountain, he must have made all the necessary preparations. After all, although he pursued power and status, he actually valued his own safety the most. Therefore, Lan Zhan lost him within two days of going down the mountain, even though he had used a series of tracking methods on Meng Yao in advance.

Since Meng Yao was lost, Lan Zhan thought that he would not be able to find him for a while, so he might as well go to Lotus Pier to ask about Wei Wuxian's whereabouts. He could also visit him on the way.

It just so happened that because of Jin Guangshan's birthday, Jiang Yanli had to send Jin Ling back to attend the birthday banquet. He would have to stay in Jinling Terrace for two months before and after that. Although she no longer wanted to set foot in Jinling Terrace, in order to win the hearts of the Jin family, she had to bite the bullet and help Jin Ling with some social events.

Jiang Yanli had just left when Lan Zhan came to visit with a name card. Jiang Wanyin was quite surprised and muttered, "I noticed Lan Zhan treated Wei Wuxian differently when Qiongqi said that. I haven't seen Lan Zhan show concern for Wei Wuxian in the past two years. I thought Lan Zhan had other ideas, but I didn't expect him to come today."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng exchanged a glance with Shi Ying and said to Jiang Wanyin, "In the last world, Lan Zhan was beaten with a whip for Wei Wuxian. I heard that the scars on his back are still there and cannot be removed. Wei Wuxian must have felt so sorry for him!"

Jiang Wanyin couldn't believe what she heard. "They have such a story?! I saw that when they were studying, Lan Zhan hated Wei Wuxian very much. He wanted to catch him every day and make him copy the family rules of their Lan family."

Jiang Cheng and Shi Ying were both disappointed with Jiang Wanyin's slowness. Shi Ying kindly reminded him, "Then do you think that Young Master Wei and Young Master Lan were close?"

Jiang Wanyin opened her mouth to deny it, but when she remembered that when she was studying in the Cloud Recesses, it seemed that Lan Zhan always appeared wherever Wei Wuxian was, she suddenly couldn't say anything. She didn't even dare to think about what kind of feelings Lan Zhan had for Wei Wuxian.

Lan Zhan was at least one of the top five young masters on the so-called Young Masters List. Although he didn't like to talk, he was quite capable of socializing with others. After a few pleasantries, he couldn't help but ask about Wei Wuxian's whereabouts. "Sect Master Jiang, can you tell me the whereabouts of Wei Ying?"

Jiang Wanyin asked back, "You want to go find Wei Wuxian? It's not that I don't give you face, Han Guang-jun, but the timing is not right now. I'm worried that someone will go there and cause trouble for the old, weak, and disabled like they did when they went to the mass graves."
