“Zhi’er, let’s go back first.”

Bai Zhenxiang’s face flashed with an obscure light as he coldly said. “Bai Yan, if I find out that you are lying to me, then I will definitely not forgive you. Let’s go!”

Leaving behind this sentence, he dragged Bai Zhi, who was still reluctant to leave, and walked out of the Lan manor.

“This b*stard Bai Zhenxiang really thought that I was sick and therefore can do whatever he likes!” Old Master Lan was quite badly angered as his anger was about to reach the heavens. “Also you, don’t think that I will just forgive you just because you gave me a Fury Flame Fire Phoenix!”

Bai Yan had just retracted her gaze when she heard Old Master Lan’s words. She was stunned and rooted to her spot.

“Maternal Grandfather, what have I done wrong again?”

Old Master Lan glared at her. “You were not even able to have a full meal, but why didn’t you come to the Lan family? Am I still even your maternal grandfather? Is your mother not my daughter? You just had to let the Bai family bully you?”

Bai Yan was being lectured my Old Master Lan and she did not dare speak a word. Could it be she was to tell the old master that she was not the Bai Yan back then?

“Lan Yu!” Old Master Lan let out an angry roar, scaring Lan Yu so much that he anxiously ran over half-kneeling before him.

“Dad, what instructions do you have?”

A flattering smile was on his face as he carefully asked.

Old Master Lan angrily pointed at him. “After I fell sick, I passed the Lan family to your care. Is this how you look after your younger sister’s daughter? Why didn’t you check on her situation in the Bai family?”

Lan Yu said aggrievedly, “Mother had sent people over to pick up Yan’er, but Yan’er did not wish to trouble the Lan family and so, did not return.”

“You…” Old Master Lan was so angered that words momentarily left him. “If she did not return, then didn’t you know how to inquire a little more about her situation?”

Ever since Lan Yue passed away, the old master was lying in his sickbed and the Lan family was left entirely in Lan Yu’s care.

All these years, from the beginning to the end, he had thought that Bai Zhenxiang would be grateful toward the Lan family and therefore treat Bai Yan and Bai Xiao. However, he had never thought that the two siblings had to endure so much suffering…

“Why are you still being stunned here?” Old Master Lan angrily sent a kick over. “Are you still not going to make preparations?! From today onward, there will not be a Bai family in this Liu Huo Kingdom as long as my Lan family is around!”

With this change in Lan family, it made the people in the banquet hall once again start to weigh which side to stand on.

Back then, the Lan family had plunged into decline because Old Master Lan had fallen sick. Bai Zhenxiang had even climbed over their heads.

But now, Old Master Lan was not only alive and well but he had even gotten a Heaven Tier demon beast and instantly returned to the top of the top-notch prestigious families.

However…

The Bai family had a daughter who was the crown princess consort and this was something Lan Manor could not compete against.

Despite Di Cang showing interest in Bai Yan, with his identity, it was impossible that he would marry an unclean nonvirgin! The royal family also would definitely not allow such a scandal to happen! Furthermore, they had hear say that His Majesty seemed to be interested in letting the youngest daughter of the Bai family to marry into Marquis Cang’s manor…

“Yan’er, where did you get this Fury Flame Fire Phoenix?” the old madam held Bai Yan’s hand as she asked with a smile.

Bai Yan hummed and said, “Back then, I saved its life and it just followed me since then. It’s just nice, I just brought it over to give it to Maternal Grandfather.”

The crowd heard this and was suddenly enlightened.

It was true too-with Bai Yan’s cultivation, how could she have tamed a Heaven Tier demon beast? Furthermore, they had long heard that demon beasts were easily grateful. Since she had saved it once and obtained its loyalty, this was somewhat understandable and made sense.

“Elder Cousin Sister.” Lan Xiaoyun happily approached and tugged at Bai Yan’s arm as she said coquettishly, “My birthday is just around the corner. Can you give me a demon beast you saved as well?”
