Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1568 The Untamed 48

Lan Qiren had always been fond of talented, young and promising people. Even though he had found Jiang Cheng and Wei Ying's manners touching when he first listened to their lessons, he still recognized their abilities and talents from the bottom of his heart. He was only worried about their character. After all, he had seen too many proud and conceited geniuses who ended up being mediocre or simply died young.

But this doesn't mean that he would be happy to see his good child being abducted!

As for the elder brother, Zewu Jun Lan Huan, he was the first to know about his younger brother Lan Zhan's unusual attention to Jiang Cheng. He even worried a lot over the years so that they could spend more time together.

Originally, he thought that the two men would be together, but he didn't expect Jiang Cheng to propose the idea of becoming a Taoist couple. What's the difference between this and a wedding ceremony?

Jiang Cheng was able to do this, which showed his sincerity, and he had no intention of objecting at all.

The Songfeng Shuiyue in the elegant room. The last time Jiang Cheng came here, he was punished for drinking. Now, although he entered the room as a proper guest, he still faced the interrogation of Lan Qiren, the owner of this elegant room.

Although Lan Qiren was somewhat happy and satisfied with Jiang Cheng's proposal to become a Taoist couple with Lan Zhan, as a pig who took away his own cabbage, Lan Qiren really couldn't feel any more good feelings towards him.

Especially since Jiang Cheng remained calm and even looked visibly relaxed under his full pressure, he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated!

To put it bluntly, as the one who is actually "marrying off" in the family, Lan Qiren can't help but worry that Lan Zhan, a child who speaks little, has few expressions and is too upright, will suffer grievances in Lotus Pier and have nowhere to complain.

Jiang Cheng directly showed Lan Qiren the various procedures of his Dao Couple Ceremony, so Lan Qiren had no way to criticize him. He could only maintain a reluctant attitude of disapproval: "You are still young. Even if no one says anything unpleasant to your face because of your status, can you guarantee that no one will laugh at you and mock you behind your back?"

Jiang Cheng smiled and replied, "People meet many people in their lives, but there are only a few people with whom they can truly confide. Lan Zhan and I don't have many relatives and friends, and it just so happens that they all have sincere blessings, which is enough."

Jiang Cheng really didn't care about the rumors outside, and he was absolutely sure that Lan Zhan didn't care about them either.

Lan Qiren's expression barely brightened. He couldn't ask any more questions than he had prepared, so he could only grudgingly say, "I just hope you can stay like this forever, and that you can discuss everything carefully. Don't let this end up like the ending of Lan Yin Xu Guo."

Jiang Cheng understood Lan Qiren's concerns very well.

Although his and Lan Zhan's status, position and strength can indeed block a lot of malice, most people will even feel that they are more real and have more understanding because of their relationship.

But more people will just wait for an opportunity. Once there is any crack in the relationship between them, they will swarm in, take advantage of this gap and make a big fuss, trying to knock them down from their perch.

Jiang Cheng solemnly promised, "My feelings for Lan Zhan have never been false, and they remain so now. I can't promise anything about the future, but I believe I have decent character. Even if my passion ever fades, I will never let Lan Zhan get hurt."

These words were a bit too honest, but to Lan Qiren, they sounded like Jiang Cheng's sincerity and truthfulness. He couldn't help but smile, stroking his beard and nodding, "It's best if you think that way."

The only two sons of the Lan family's direct lineage are about to become Taoist partners with the leader of the Jiang family. The relationship between the Lan and Jiang families is even closer than that of ordinary in-laws, so Lan Qiren is very concerned about how the Jiang family will respond to the affairs of the Qiongqi Dao.

Jiang Cheng had nothing to hide, so he directly explained his thoughts and actions: "I have instructed people to secretly take action against Sect Master Jin. As long as the news spreads that Xue Yang, the descendant of Xue Chonghai, was rescued from Baixue Temple by Sect Master Jin, and that he secretly tried to replicate the Yin Iron and had already used the replicated Yin Iron to experiment with refining zombies, the Jiang family's possession of the Yin Iron will be nothing."

Lan Qiren believed that Jiang Cheng and Wei Ying would not use the Yin Iron to do anything bad. Moreover, Lan Zhan was about to move into the Lotus Pier and could also play a supervisory role, so he felt even more relieved.

However, he still had to give some advice: "It's better to send the Yin Iron back to where it belongs as soon as possible, so that there won't be so many people using it to cause trouble."

Jiang Cheng thanked Lan Qiren for his kindness, but also explained the pros and cons involved: "The Yin Iron is not an ordinary item. Returning it is not as simple as just leaving it and walking away. God chose Wei Ying, but I am worried that Wei Ying will have to pay a huge price, so I have never taken the initiative to do this."

After these words came out, Lan Qiren felt embarrassed.

In fact, Lan Qiren and his nephew Lan Huan had just remembered that the Yin Iron was a token of the underworld. So the cultivator who lost the token and committed so many sins with the Yin Iron would definitely receive the punishment he deserved. So, the cultivator who returned the token would most likely receive a certain reward, but wouldn't there be no punishment at all?

In the end, Lan Qiren could only wave his hand and let Lan Zhan take Jiang Cheng out.

On the way back to the cold room, Lan Zhan asked Jiang Cheng, "You also got some revelation, right?"

Jiang Cheng nodded, but had no intention of telling Lan Zhan what he had gained from the Heavenly Dao of this world.

Lan Zhan added, "What if the price Wei Ying needs to pay can be shared equally among others? In this way, perhaps the fatal price will become less fatal."

Jiang Cheng was stunned. Although he did want to use Lan Zhan as a bargaining chip to threaten the laws of this world, he never thought of hurting Lan Zhan!

As a result, Lan Zhan casually offered to share the damage with Wei Ying!

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but twitch his lips, and finally declined Lan Zhan's suggestion: "I think maybe we don't have to go that far..."

Lan Zhan remained silent. He knew that Jiang Cheng would be willing to share everything with Wei Ying, and he also knew that the same was true for Wei Ying and Jiang Cheng. He was even willing to sacrifice his own life in exchange for Jiang Cheng's safety and happiness, just to share some of the cost with Wei Ying. As long as Jiang Cheng would not be harmed, he was willing to do anything.

The Hanshi once belonged to Lan Zhan's mother, but it was a place where the Lan family imprisoned Lan Zhan's mother, so after his parents passed away, Lan Zhan chose the Hanshi as his residence.

The cold room is simple, with only three rooms. In the study, you can still see some traces of Mrs. Lan, with gentian flowers as decoration on the screen shelf. The rest of the room belongs entirely to Lan Zhan.

Jiang Cheng had already looked it over thoroughly, and now that he was relaxed he felt like complaining a bit. "Your cold room really lives up to its name. It's cold and gloomy. Apart from the incense burner, it really doesn't have much of a sense of life."
