Chapter 220 Challenge
"Sect Leader Wen, please wait!"
Upon noticing Wen Ruohan's actions, Qinghengjun immediately shouted to stop him. At the same time, she flicked her sleeve, releasing a long and supple icy blue spiritual energy that flew rapidly in front of the three of them, transforming into a semi-circular, transparent icy blue barrier about the height of a person. This barrier directly clashed with Wen Ruohan's invisible yet tangible, scorching, and violent aura, resulting in a sharp explosion. The aftershocks, like roaring tornadoes, ravaged the entire elegant room in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, facing the aftershocks of the sudden clash between the two, Lan Qiren's brows furrowed deeply, and the corners of his usually stern mouth unconsciously turned into a irritated line. His slender fingers joined together to form a hand seal, and a serene blue defensive barrier instantly appeared in front of Lan Huan and Lan Zhan, blocking all the incoming aftershocks.
Seeing that their probing attack was instantly blocked, the three people who were being tested stood still without fear or ripples. What's more, the boy with the flirtatious eyes even dared to stick out his index finger and tap the edge of the ice-blue transparent barrier in front of him, eager to try to bypass the barrier and test the power of the aftershocks that were blocked outside!
The other two boys didn't make any move, but they also didn't immediately try to stop it, which shows that they didn't have any objection to it!
Ah!
For a moment, Wen Ruohan was almost amused by her own imagined thoughts. Then, a strong sense of appreciation for outstanding talent welled up in her heart. Just then, Lan Wenjing, that black-hearted old fox, spoke up to stop her, so she took the opportunity to calm down and raised her eyebrows to ask a question.
"Lan Wenjing, why are you protecting these three arrogant and ill-mannered brats like this?!"
Wei Ying, who was rebuked for being arrogant and lacking manners: "Σ( ° △ °|||)︴!"
Affected by the situation, Nanaya and Aoyan exclaimed, "o(￣ヘ￣o)!"
Seeing that Wen Ruohan had wisely stopped, Qinghengjun also took the opportunity to pull back the corner of his sleeve that had been fluttering. Just then, he heard Wen Ruohan's words, and Nie Changfeng, who was standing to the side, also cast a curious glance at him.
Under the serious gaze of his younger brother, a hint of helplessness, like spring catkins, floated in Qinghengjun's gentle eyes.
"The three young friends are rising stars who have recently gained fame in the Yiling area. Perhaps because they are disciples of independent cultivators, they are not very familiar with some of the special rules and etiquette of aristocratic families."
Furthermore, I, Lan, had instructed my three young friends to leave later, intending to give them a chance to impress the two sect leaders alone. That is why I was slightly impolite this time; please forgive any impropriety!
Qingheng-jun tactfully explained why Wei Ying and the other two did not leave with the others.
"..." Wen Ruohan merely glanced at the group with a half-smile at Qinghengjun's explanation, without explicitly stating whether he believed it or not.
He then flicked the armrest with his finger, urging Qingheng to continue his sophistry—no, to give a detailed introduction to these three "young talents" who had impressed him!
Qingheng paused for a moment, then calmly and softly summoned Wei Ying and the other two to the hall. After they bowed and greeted him with their different styles and impeccable manners, Qingheng slowly introduced the three of them one by one.
Through Qingheng-jun's gentle and refined introduction, Wen Ruohan, Nie Changfeng, and even Lan Qiren truly understood the extraordinary qualities of Wei Ying and the other two. In light of Qingheng-jun's previously advocated ideas, Wen Ruohan and Nie Changfeng, while appreciating him, also deeply understood his true purpose in protecting and praising the three.
"In that case, while the three young friends Wei are out hunting and socializing at night, we hope that the two sect leaders will provide them with some protection!"
"Alright!" As soon as Qinghengjun solemnly uttered his request, Wen Ruohan couldn't wait to challenge him, "Boy, it's simple to gain my recognition. Have your master arrange a time to spar with me. No matter the outcome, I promise that within my Wen Clan's territory, as long as you do not do anything to harm the Wen Clan, you can move freely without hindrance, and no one will dare to plot against or harass you!"
Wei Ying, the top disciple of a certain "famous teacher" who was challenged from afar: "-_-b!"
Seven Nights, the second disciple of a certain "famous teacher" who was challenged from afar: "...!"
Seven Nights, the third disciple of a certain "famous teacher" who was challenged from afar: "-_-b!"
Lan Zhan, the fourth disciple of a certain "famous teacher" who was challenged from afar: "..."
Faced with Wen Ruohan's unexpected yet logical challenge, Wei Ying, the other two, and even Lan Zhan were speechless.
Knowing the inside story, Qinghengjun's lips twitched uncontrollably. He tried his best to maintain a calm and measured tone and spoke up to help the three out of the predicament.
After receiving Wen Ruohan and Nie Changfeng's firm promise, he immediately instructed Lan Qiren to take Wei Ying and the other two, along with Lan Huan and Lan Zhan, away from the elegant room to the dining hall for their belated dinner and then back to the guesthouse to rest.
No sooner had Lan Qiren and his men left the area near the elegant room than Nie Changfeng subconsciously exclaimed, "Qingheng-jun, it seems you really think highly of these three young men! Are you considering recruiting them into the Lan family?"
