Chapter 1040 [The Untamed 14]
Qishan Wen Clan is a place famous for its strong strength and unique family culture. In this land, there is a place called Nevernight, which is the territory of Wen Clan and the symbol of their power.
Deep in the Nevernight City, Wen Ruohan, the leader of the Wen Clan, was sitting on his magnificent throne, his face stern and his eyes sharp. In front of him stood a beautiful female doctor named Wen Qing.
Wen Ruohan stared at Wen Qing and slowly said, "Wen Qing, I have an important task for you."
Bowing slightly, he replied respectfully, "Chief, please give me your orders."
Wen Ruohan's voice was low and serious: "I need you to sneak into the Cloud Recesses and find the whereabouts of the Yin Iron fragments."
Cloud Recesses, the territory of the Lan family, is famous for its strict family rules and excellent cultivation of immortals. For Wen Qing, this is undoubtedly a difficult task.
However, Wen Qing did not hesitate at all, she replied firmly: "I obey your command."
At the same time, in the Cloud Recesses, a group of young students were gathering in a spacious classroom. This was the Lan family's school, and every student had to abide by strict family rules and not get involved in any crooked ways.
On the first day of class, all the students came to the classroom early, waiting for the teacher to arrive. When Lan Qiren walked into the classroom, everyone stood up and bowed to him to show their respect.
Lan Qiren was an elder of the Lan family and a highly respected cultivator. He stood on the podium, glanced at the students present, and then began to talk about the family rules of the Lan family.
"The Lan family rules total three thousand five hundred..." Lan Qiren's voice echoed in the classroom, and the students listened quietly.
However, among this group of students, there was one person who stood out. He was Wei Wuxian, a bold and unrestrained boy. Wei Wuxian had always been a free-spirited person, and he could not stand the rigid family rules.
Wei Wuxian began to look around absentmindedly, whispering and joking with Nie Huaisang, the son of the Nie family who was sitting next to him. Nie Huaisang was also a mischievous guy, and the two of them hit it off immediately and soon became chatting enthusiastically.
Youyou, who was sitting on the other side of Wei Wuxian, felt helpless when she saw him not paying attention. She felt that these 3,500 family rules were too many. She would not have come if she had known this. She was really screwed by her niece.
Youyou decided that as soon as Lan Qiren finished explaining the 3,500 house rules, she would leave this suffocating place immediately.
Xue Yang and Jin Guangyao looked at each other and understood each other. They noticed that the master's behavior was a little unusual, as if he wanted to take the opportunity to slip away. How could this be possible? If the master ran away and left them here to suffer, it would be too unfair! So the two decided to work together to stop the master and never let him escape easily.
After listening to the family rules, the disciples began to pay their respects. As a wealthy family, the Jin family was naturally generous. As a representative, Jin Zixuan brought the Heluo Jingshi book carefully compiled by his father as a gift to the Lan family. The book was beautifully bound and elegant, which made people admire it. Everyone was envious of this generous gift and praised the generosity of the Jin family.
At the same time, Nie Huaisang of the Qinghe Nie family also presented a gift - a purple clay alchemy cauldron. This alchemy cauldron has a unique shape and exquisite craftsmanship, showing the sincerity of the Nie family. Nie Huaisang also came with a deputy envoy named Meng Yao. Meng Yao's identity is quite special. He was originally the illegitimate son of the Jin clan leader. He went to the Jin family to recognize his relatives, but was driven away. In desperation, he had to join the Nie family.
Because of Meng Yao's background, many people are prejudiced against him and look down on him. However, Lan Xichen is different. He treats Meng Yao equally and with courtesy, which makes Meng Yao feel warm and touched.
The worship ceremony was proceeding in an orderly manner, but at this moment, something unexpected suddenly happened - Wen Chao, Wen Qing and Wen Ning from the Qishan Wen Clan also rushed over.
Wen Chao, the second son of Wen Ruohan, was arrogant and rude, and didn't take others seriously at all. He barged into the school without any scruples, and even interrupted Jiang Cheng's worship without any hesitation.
Wei Wuxian was disgusted by Wen Chao's arrogance, and the anger in his heart was instantly ignited. He was about to stand up and teach Wen Chao a lesson, but was quickly stopped by Youyou who was standing beside him. Youyou gently shook her head at him, signaling him not to be impulsive.
However, Wen Chao was completely unaware of Wei Wuxian's dissatisfaction. Not only did he not restrain his behavior, but he even went further and ordered his men to draw their swords. The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
At this critical moment, Lan Xichen quickly played the flute and cast a magical spell. The sound of the flute was like the sound of nature, melodious and intoxicating. As the sound of the flute sounded, the swords in the hands of the people fell to the ground involuntarily, as if they were under a spell, making a crisp sound.
Seeing that the situation was gradually calming down, Wen Qing hurriedly stepped forward and said sincerely, "Mr. Lan, we came here this time because we really want to learn." After that, she pointed to the quiet and well-behaved Wen Ning beside her and introduced him, "This is my younger brother Wen Ning. He also came here, hoping to receive your teachings."
Seeing this, Wen Ning also hurriedly took out the gift specially prepared by the Wen family from his arms and presented it to Lan Qiren respectfully. Lan Qiren nodded slightly to show his satisfaction, and then ordered Lan Xichen to accept all the gifts.
Finally, Lan Qiren asked the Wen family members to rest as well, and the worship ceremony was finally completed without any danger.
At night, everything was silent, and the moonlight sprinkled on the ground like water. Youyou walked to the door lightly with a bundle in her hand, preparing to leave quietly. However, as soon as she opened the door, she was blocked by two figures.
Youyou looked closely and found that they were her two apprentices, Xue Yang and Jin Guangyao. She was shocked, but pretended to be calm and asked with a smile, "What are you doing here so late at night?"
Jin Guangyao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a half-smile: "Senior Sister, you haven't slept either? Where are you going with your bag? Let me guess... Are you planning to abandon us and leave here alone?"
Youyou quickly waved her hands and explained, "No, don't think too much. I just ate too much and went out for a walk to digest it."
Seeing this, Xue Yang interrupted, "Really? But Senior Sister, you're carrying such a big bag. It doesn't look like you're going for a walk."
Youyou smiled awkwardly and stammered, "This... uh, there are actually some sundries in here. I thought I'd throw them away when I go out."
However, Xue Yang and Jin Guangyao obviously did not believe her. They looked at each other and said in unison: "Senior Sister, please stop hiding this from us. You must be trying to sneak away!"
Seeing that her lie had been exposed, Youyou simply stopped trying to cover it up and directly admitted, "Okay, since you all know it, I won't hide it from you. I do plan to leave here."
Xue Yang and Jin Guangyao's faces turned ugly after hearing this. Jin Guangyao said hurriedly, "Sister, you promised Madam Yu that you would study here and protect us. How can you just leave like that?"
Youyou sighed deeply, her face full of helplessness and exhaustion. She looked at the two people in front of her and said slowly, "Okay, okay, I won't leave, okay? You guys should go back to sleep."
However, Jin Guangyao didn't buy it. He looked at Youyou suspiciously, shook his head and said, "No, Senior Sister, I still don't quite believe you."
Hearing this, Youyou frowned and asked angrily, "So what do you want?"
Jin Guangyao saw this and quickly apologized with a smile, "Senior Sister, don't be angry. We will be guarding here, you can just go to sleep without worry, we promise that we will never let a fly in!"
After hearing this, Youyou was so angry that she almost laughed out loud. She gritted her teeth and said, "Thank you so much, you are really my good junior brothers!" But she secretly cursed in her heart, these two bastards actually dared to disregard their master, they are becoming more and more disrespectful!
Xue Yang and Jin Guangyao did not seem to notice Youyou's dissatisfaction, and said in a flattering manner: "Senior Sister, this is what we should do, so don't be polite to us!"
Seeing this, Youyou was too lazy to talk nonsense with them and turned around and said, "Do whatever you want. I'm going to bed anyway." After that, she slammed the door, leaving the two people outside.
Xue Yang and Jin Guangyao looked at each other, then they each found a stone, squatted on it, and prepared to meditate and practice for the whole night.
Wei Wuxian and Nie Huaisang have a close relationship and often play together. On this day, the two of them went to the back mountain to fish, and Nie Huaisang was deeply impressed by Wei Wuxian's bravery and boldness.
At the same time, Lan Xichen and his uncle Lan Qiren were discussing their views on the Wen family. They both realized that the Wen family's motives for coming to study were not pure, and after some analysis and reasoning, they guessed that those puppets that had lost their consciousness might have a close connection with the Wen family.
On the other side, Meng Yao was preparing to return to the Nie family. Before leaving, she came to bid farewell to Lan Xichen and thanked him for taking care of her and not looking down on her because of her background.
In the back mountain of Cloud Recesses, Wen Qing was quietly coming to explore the terrain. She was secretly wondering if she could find clues to the Yin Iron fragments here. However, just as she was about to go deeper into the back mountain, she was blocked by the barrier of the Lan family's back mountain.
At this moment, Wei Wuxian and Nie Huaisang were happily playing in the back mountain. Wei Wuxian turned his head and accidentally saw Wen Qing standing not far away. He immediately walked over with a smile and curiously asked what Wen Qing was doing.
Wen Qing had a serious look on her face, and seeing this, Wei Wuxian quickly put away his smile and told her seriously that the mountain behind the Cloud Recesses was a forbidden area and no one was allowed to trespass.
