The next morning, Li Yuluo came knocking on Jiang Cheng's door early in the morning. Jiang Cheng opened the door after knocking three times. As for Wei WuXian, Jiang Cheng and Li Yuluo shouted for the time it took to brew a cup of tea. They coaxed him and finally got up. Then, Jiang Cheng and Li Yuluo carried Wei WuXian to the dining hall, one on each side. When they arrived, the dining hall was filled with porridge made from medicinal herbs. Li Yuluo picked up the medicinal herbs in the bowl and said," This is sanqi, this is lily, this is yam, and this is coix seed. It looks pretty good. Try it and see how it tastes."”After Li Yuluo tasted it, it was hard to explain in a few words. The taste was acceptable, but it was slightly bitter. Jiang Cheng frowned after tasting it, but he still had to maintain his polite posture. After Wei WuXian tasted it, he jumped up,"It's awful, heh."”
Everyone in the dining hall looked at him. Li Yuluo hurriedly grabbed Wei WuXian and cupped his hands,"Nothing, nothing, hehe."
"Sit down, sit down," Jiang Cheng whispered."I'm not asking you to squat on the bench. Sit down."”
"Senior Brother, this place is different from Yunmeng. There are countless rules here.”Li Yuluo said seriously.
"The Lan family too. Why do they have so many rules? It's really boring to keep a straight face.”Wei WuXian pouted.
"The one who set these rules is Mister Lan Qiren of the Gusu Lan Clan. Some of the disciples of the immortal sects are useless at home. After coming here for three years, they return with a well-educated and well-mannered attitude. They are filial to their parents and act like dogs. Those immortal sects are determined to join the Lan Clan. So don't say anything more and suffer less punishment. Look, the Lan family's incharge is already looking over!”
Regarding this, Wei WuXian expressed his stance,"Am I not enough to act like a dog now?" Besides, did I not get punished enough in Yunmeng?”
"Hmph, in my opinion, you'll definitely become a disgrace in his teaching career."”
"Senior brother, do you feel that these dishes don't suit your appetite? Jiang Cheng probably isn't used to them either. Here, senior sister asked me to bring some kimchi.”Li Yuluo took out a vegetable jar from his Universe Pouch.
"Wow, how did you know that I like to eat this? These dishes have a light taste. It's not bad to use it to spice things up.”Wei WuXian immediately narrowed his eyes and beamed.
Jiang Cheng didn't reply, but the breakfast in his bowl was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The disciples of the immortal sects at the other tables looked over and drooled.
"You can't be picky. You can't eat more than three bowls."”After saying that, he was about to put away the vegetable jar.
"Senior, please wait. We are not picky.”Li Yuluo raised their bowls, which were clean." This isn't considered picky. It's getting late and I have to go to class. Senior, please help yourself."”
Jiang Cheng pulled Wei WuXian out of the dining hall.
The young masters of the Gusulan Clan were all around fifteen or sixteen years old, and they often interacted with each other. Even if they weren't close, they were at least familiar with each other. Everyone knew that although Wei WuXian wasn't surnamed Jiang, he was the son of an old friend of Jiang FengMian, the head of the YunmengJiang family, and was treated as his own. As for Li Yuluo, they only knew that he was the son of Madam Yu's friend. Usually, Li Yuluo was low-key, and when he came to Gusulan family as a study companion, they thought he was the child of the guest elder of the YunmengJiang family. However, he had the audacity to argue with them in front of the Lan family's steward. His actions were polite, and young people tended to care less about their family background than their elders. Soon, the three of them mingled with the crowd and complained about all kinds of ridiculous rules in the depths of the clouds. Someone asked,"Isn't your Jiang family's Lotus Pier much more fun than this place?”
"Whether it's fun or not depends on how you play." Wei WuXian laughed. There were definitely not as many rules as here, and there was no need to wake up so early.”
The Lan family will start work at dawn and rest at dawn. There must be no delay. "When do you guys start? What do you do every day?"
"Him?" Jiang Cheng snorted. It starts at Si and stops at Chou. When he got up, he didn't practice his sword or meditate. Instead, he rowed a boat, swam in the water, picked lotus seeds, and beat pheasants.”
"No matter how many pheasants I beat, I'm still number one," Wei WuXian said.”
Nie HuaiSang, the second son of the Nie family of Qinghe, shouted,"I'm going to Yunmeng to study next year! Don't stop me!"
"No one will stop you." Your big brother will only break your legs.”
"Actually, Gusu is quite fun," Wei WuXian said.”
"Brother Wei!" Nie HuaiSang said. You and I hit it off at first sight. Listen to my sincere advice. The depths of the clouds are not like Lotus Pier. When you come to Gusu, remember not to provoke one person.”
"Who?" Lan Qiren?"
"It's not that old man." You have to be careful of his favorite student, Lan Zhan.”
"The Lan Zhan from the Lan family's Twin Jade?" Lan WangJi?"
The Lan Family's Twin Jade was in the limelight among the younger generation, and Lan Zhan was regarded as a role model by the elders of each family when he was fourteen years old. He was compared to his own children, and it was inevitable that others would not hear of it. "Which Lan Zhan? That's the one." Nie Huaisang said. Compared to his uncle, he was even better. Stern and stern,"
Wei WuXian nodded and asked,"Is it a handsome boy?”
"Who in the Gusulan Clan is ugly?" Jiang Cheng sneered. His family doesn't even accept students with untidy facial features. Why don't you find a plain-looking one for me to see?”
"Very handsome," Wei WuXian emphasized.”He gestured with his head." Dressed in white, with a ribbon on his forehead, a straight face, and carrying a sword on his back, he looks like he's wearing mourning clothes.”
"..." Nie Huaisang said with certainty," It's him!"”"But he has been in seclusion recently. You only came yesterday. When did you meet him?"”
"Last night."
"No wonder you came back so late last night!？”Jiang Cheng was stunned." There's a curfew in Yunshen. I was about to remind you, but you disappeared. Where did you see him?" Why didn't I know?"
"There," Wei WuXian pointed.
He was pointing at a high wall.
Everyone was speechless. Jiang Cheng gritted his teeth and said,"You just arrived and you're already causing trouble! What happened?"
"Nothing much," Wei WuXian grinned. I brought back two jars of Tian Zi Xiao. You can't drink this in Yunmeng. We bumped into each other on the way back."
"What about the wine?"
"We've just climbed over the wall," Wei WuXian said,"and before we could even take a step in, he caught us.”
Wei WuXian told them what had happened. Everyone clicked their tongues and sighed at Wei WuXian's bad luck and his courage. He had broken three family rules all at once. Lan Qiren and Lan WangJi wanted to keep an eye on him.
"Brother Wei." "You're so arrogant," Nie Huaisang said.
"Brother, let me call you brother! You weren't beaten down by Lan Zhan!"
"You're going to die, Brother Wei! Lan Zhan has never suffered such a loss before. He's probably targeting you. You should be careful. Although Lan Zhan doesn't listen to the lessons with us, he's the one in charge of punishment in the Lan family!”
Wei WuXian wasn't afraid at all. Waving his hand, he said,"What are you afraid of? Didn't they say that Lan Zhan was a child prodigy and a world-shocking talent? He's so smart so early. He must have learned everything his uncle taught him long ago. He's in seclusion all day long and doesn't have the time to keep an eye on me. I…"
Before he finished his sentence, everyone walked around a window and saw a young man in white sitting upright in the Orchid Room. His long hair was tied up and his forehead was wiped. His aura was like frost as he swept a cold glance at them.
The dozen or so mouths seemed to have been silenced. They silently entered the Orchid Room, quietly picked their own seats, and tacitly cleared the table around Lan WangJi.
Jiang Cheng patted Wei WuXian's shoulder and whispered,"I've got my eyes on you. Good luck."
Li Yuluo sat next to Jiang Cheng, upright and upright. Wei WuXian sat behind Jiang Cheng, and Lan WangJi sat next to Wei WuXian, so Li Yuluo sat in front of Lan WangJi. Although Lan WangJi was always staring at Wei WuXian, Li Yuluo was still affected by his cold gaze. If it was summer, they wouldn't even need an air conditioner.
Lan Qiren walked up slowly and brought up a scroll. He first glanced at Wei WuXian, then his gaze fell on Li Yuluo. After a while, he opened the scroll and repeated the Lan family's rules one by one. He talked about Wei WuXian both openly and covertly. Seeing that Wei WuXian wasn't interested in learning, he asked about the common knowledge of the immortal sects. Wei WuXian answered smoothly.
No matter what Lan Qiren said, it would stump Wei WuXian,"As a disciple of the YunmengJiang Clan, you should have long since memorized all of these. There's nothing to be proud of even if you answer correctly. Let me ask you again. Today, there is an executioner with his parents, wife and children. He has beheaded more than a hundred people before he died. He died in the market and exposed his body for seven days. He was resentful and caused trouble. What do you think?"
This time, Wei WuXian didn't answer immediately. The others thought he was in a difficult position and began to feel uneasy. Lan Qiren, however, scolded,"What are you looking at him for?”
Everyone hurriedly followed suit. Dying in the marketplace and exposing his corpse for seven days, he was definitely a great malicious ghost and a great fierce corpse. It was very difficult to do so. He could only hope that he would not draw some of his answers. Lan Qiren saw that Wei WuXian didn't answer for a long time and only said thoughtfully,"WangJi, why don't you tell him?”
Lan WangJi didn't look at Wei WuXian. He nodded in greeting,"There are three methods: edify the first, suppress the second, and exterminate the third. First of all, think of the feelings of parents, wives and children, fulfill their wishes before death, and change their obsession; If it doesn't work, it will be suppressed. If the crime is heinous and the resentment is not dispersed, it will be cut down and uprooted, and the root will not be allowed to exist. Xuanmen should follow this order carefully and not make mistakes.”
Li Yuluo thought to himself,'If I really want to know what happened in his life, I'll just kill him if he's evil. I'll be straightforward. If he still has any thoughts of repentance, I'll enlighten him and tell him to enter Samsara as soon as possible. I'll send him to Yama. Yama will decide everything in his next life. The Netherworld will naturally have a way to deal with him.'
Everyone let out a long sigh, thanking the heavens in their hearts. Luckily, this old man had chosen Lan WangJi, or else it would be inevitable for them to miss one or two or make a mistake in the order. "Exactly." Lan Qiren nodded in satisfaction.”After a pause, he said sarcastically,"If you become arrogant and mischievous just because you've subdued a few low-level mountain spirits and ghosts in your family, you'll sooner or later humiliate yourself.”
Wei WuXian raised an eyebrow, glancing at Lan WangJi's side profile, thinking,"So this old man has long heard of my name. He called his good students to listen to the lesson so that I can look after them.”
"I have my doubts," he said.
"Speak," Lan Qiren said.
"Although edifying is the first, edifying is often impossible," Wei WuXian said.‘It was easy to say. If this obsession was to get a new set of clothes, it would be fine, but if he wanted to kill his entire family for revenge, what should he do?”
"Therefore, edification is the main thing, suppression is secondary, and if necessary, extermination."”
Wei WuXian smiled slightly,"Such a waste of natural resources."”"It's not that I didn't know the answer just now. I was just considering the fourth path."”
"I've never heard of a fourth rule." Tell me."
"This executioner died a violent death," Wei WuXian said. Since he beheaded more than a hundred people before he died, why not dig up the graves of these hundred people, stimulate their resentment, and make a hundred heads to fight with the fierce corpse…"
Lan WangJi finally turned his head to look at him, but his brows were slightly furrowed, and his expression was cold. Lan Qiren's beard trembled as he shouted,""You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"
Everyone in the Orchid Chamber was frightened by this shout. " I'm going to save you!" Lan Qiren suddenly stood up." I'm going to subdue demons and vanquish ghosts and evil to save you!" Not only did you not think about the path of salvation, but you also wanted to provoke his resentment? Putting the cart before the horse, disregarding human relations!"
"There are some things that are useless to convert anyway, so why not make use of them?" Wei WuXian chuckled. Dayu also knew how to control the flood. Blocking the flood was the worst policy, and sparse was the best policy. "Suppressing is blocking, isn't that a bad idea…" Lan Qiren threw a book at him, but he dodged it in a flash. His expression didn't change as he continued to spout nonsense."Spiritual Qi is also Qi, and resentment is also Qi. The spiritual energy stored in the Pill Palace could split mountains and fill the sea for people to use. Resentment could be used, so why couldn't it be used by others?”
Li Yuluo thought to himself," As expected, Xianxian, do you know that resentment is harmful to the body and even more harmful to the temperament? It's like drinking water. People drink clean water instead of dirty water. Drinking dirty water will harm the body. However, my body is special. It's like a filter. No matter how dirty the water is, it can be filtered into clean water." Moreover, no matter how clean the spiritual energy was, there would be times when it would riot, not to mention the unstable resentment.
Lan Qiren threw another book over and said sternly,"Then let me ask you again! How can you guarantee that the resentment will be used by you and not harm others?”
"Not yet!" Wei WuXian said as he dodged.”
"If you think of it, the cultivation world will not let you live." Get lost!"
And so, Wei WuXian really left.
Lan Qiren blew his beard and glared at him."You can't be taught!"
After that, the classes without Wei WuXian were very harmonious. Lan Qiren asked questions, and the disciples of the immortal sects answered them fluently. If there was something they didn't understand, they could supplement each other. Lan Qiren looked old-fashioned, but he was actually good at guiding people. As long as he didn't talk about etiquette and family rules, it would be fine, but it was a pity that Wei WuXian always bumped into him. On the other hand, Lan WangJi sat there with a serious expression, but he didn't pay attention to the class anymore. It was unknown whether he had already understood it or if he was absent-minded.
Before school ended, Lan Qiren said that there would be a test in the next class. The disciples wailed in their hearts.
However, after school, they all went back happily and threw the test to the back of their minds.
However, there was a slacker who had no interest in playing. Nie Huaisang said worriedly,"If I don't pass this test, my brother will really break my legs!”
Not far away, someone said," Brother Wei, Lan Qiren told you to scram, and you really did. Your courage is commendable!"”
Wei WuXian played around with the others for a while. Someone came back with bad news. He wanted Wei WuXian to copy the Shangyi Chapter of the Yazheng Collection three times, so that Wei WuXian would know what the Heavenly Dao and human relations were. Wei WuXian protested. Nie HuaiSang knew this was a good opportunity, so he quickly offered to help him copy, but the condition was that he would help him make a cheat sheet.
In the end, he was caught red-handed by Lan WangJi. Li Yuluo had prepared for two things, and intentionally moved his body to the side to give Nie Huaisang a spot to copy. Lan WangJi and Lan Qiren had been watching Wei WuXian the whole time, so Wei WuXian was severely punished while Nie Huaisang wasn't discovered. Also, no one else could copy for him, and he had to go to the Lan family's library to copy a month's worth of books.
Li Yuluo naturally knew the purpose of coming to Gusu-to check what was on him. Li Yuluo had been stopped several times when she came to the library pavilion, so she could only look for Lan Qiren. Lan Qiren was very happy about Li Yuluo's arrival, but he was old-fashioned and did not know how to open his mouth. First, he asked Li Yuluo about her studies, then he beat around the bush and asked how long Li Yuluo would be staying in Gusu. Li Yuluo answered truthfully. Seeing that she had nothing to say, Li Yuluo explained her purpose of coming. She wanted to enter the Lan Family's library pavilion. As the leader of the Lan family, Lan Qiren naturally had to set an example. He did not allow anyone outside the Lan family to enter the library unless they became a member of the Lan family. It was not impossible to become a member of the Lan family, but what would happen if the Li family was severely injured? What would the Li family be then? Would it become a subsidiary of the Lan family? What should he do if he couldn't pay attention to Madam Yu and Jiang Yanli in Gusu?
Li Yuluo was in a dilemma. Lan Qiren seemed to have limited patience."I'm your father. Don't you want to acknowledge your ancestors? I'll teach you well in the future and marry you in a grand way. Don't keep thinking about your mother's tricks.”
" You're wrong. I have my own concerns. I will no longer be the young master of the Li family after returning to the Lan family. Although I can live a peaceful life, how can I face my mother? How can I face my family? I must know what I have on me. I will destroy the Wen family to comfort my mother's spirit in heaven. My mother's family will save the dying and heal the injured. But who will stand up when the Wen family slanders the Li family? Mr. Lan, do you have that? Where are you now? Why didn't you show up? Yes, I'm a fugitive now and my name on the wanted list hasn't been removed yet. There are people searching for me everywhere and I've never been afraid. This is a path of no return, but also a path that I must take. If you're worried that my identity would be exposed one day and implicate the Gusulan Clan, you shouldn't have acknowledged me at all. I've seen it clearly, you and Auntie Yu are two completely different types of people! I want to enter the library!"
"You're simply unreasonable! I must not break the family rules! You can go now!" Lan Qiren said stubbornly.
Lan XiChen had some small matters to report to Lan QiRen, he didn't expect to hear this, but he couldn't help but say,"Uncle, since Yuluo wants to enter the library pavilion, I'll go with her.”
As expected of a gentle and refined young master, Li Yuluo had a good impression of Lan Xichen. She cupped her hands and said,""I have an urgent matter to attend to and must enter the library pavilion to find a book. I hope brother Xi Chen can agree.”
"Xi Chen, you're messing around. You're not allowed to bring her in, do you hear me?”Lan Qiren said.
"You are simply stubborn. In that case, is this qualified?”Li Yuluo took out a jade pendant from his lapel. This jade pendant was the one Baoshan Sanren had given him, and it was engraved with Lan An.
"This is?" Lan Qiren said in surprise.
"This was given to me by a senior. Not only this, is it qualified to enter the Lan Clan's library pavilion?”Li Yuluo raised his eyebrows.
"From now on, you will be able to enter the library freely.”Lan Qiren sighed." As expected, we can't stop him.”
After Li Yuluo heard this, he immediately ran towards the Lan family's library.
"Why didn't uncle agree to it before, and now he's willing to? What's the secret behind it?"”
Lan Qiren didn't say anything and took out another jade pendant. Lan Xichen recognized this jade pendant as the family head's family order. With a swoosh, the two jade pendants combined into one and became a complete one. Lan Qiren said,"This is the complete clan jade token.”
Lan Xichen realized that his power was limited. Even the master of the Lan family couldn't make a decision. He had to gather the elders of the Lan family to discuss. The elders had great power. He could overrule the master's words with a word. Therefore, the Lan family had always been conservative. Lan Xichen's father, Lord Qing Heng, had never been involved in the world, so the master of the Lan family was becoming more and more figurehead. Li Yuluo's jade pendant solved the Lan family's urgent need at the critical moment. He could order the other members of the Lan family. There would be a good show to watch the next time he made a decision.
"Xi Chen, uncle has given you a mission. Help Yuluo find the book. If you have any difficulties, just come to me, but please don't tell her.”Lan Qiren said.
"Yes, I understand."
