Chapter 1953
Li Lan was slightly taken aback, but he quickly understood the reason.
If a special individual like Xiao Rong is allowed to roam freely within the sect, and she were to suddenly run away one day, it would be a huge loss for the Star Devouring Sect.
Putting aside her important position, her status as Yi Junxin's beloved alone necessitates keeping her in the Star Devouring Sect as a precaution.
Similarly, once she's placed in the position of Seventh Elder, no one else will be able to bully her, except for Mo Chen, the sect leader of the Star Devouring Sect.
"Your soul imprint is now in Mo Chen's hands?"
Xiao Rong remained silent and nodded.
“I was already under Mo Chen’s control when my husband came to the Star Devouring Sect.”
"Otherwise, even if it costs me my life, I will follow my husband and avenge him."
After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Rong suddenly removed the mask from her face, revealing the scar that ran across her face.
Seeing the scar, Li Lan finally understood everything.
If that's the case, then there's nothing to doubt.
Xiao Rong's actions suggest that her heart still belongs to Yi Jun.
If it were to find Yi Jun's bone, Xiao Rong would definitely do everything in her power to help him.
"Xiao Rong, I think we can cooperate now."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Rong was stunned for a moment before rushing over, then smiled faintly and said:
"Cooperation? Weren't you going to be my last disciple?"
Li Lan shook her head.
“I have my own way of cultivating myself and do not need the teachings of others. All I need is an identity that will not be suspected by others.”
"Besides, we share the same goal, don't we?"
"What purpose?"
This time it was Xiao Rong's turn to be curious.
Yi Jun had already passed away, and her heart was no longer burdened with any attachments.
Besides, they've only just met, how could Li Lan know her so well?
Li Lan noticed Xiao Rong's confusion.
But after what he had just learned, he had come to believe Xiaoxiao, so there was no harm in telling her the news.
“A piece of your husband’s bone is still inside the Star Devouring Sect; it has not been completely destroyed.”
"That bone contains Yi Jun's life's work, which is the inner world he created after cultivating the Creation Path."
"What did you say?!"
Upon hearing this news, Xiao Rong seemed to go mad and instantly appeared in front of Li Lan.
A glimmer of light finally appeared in her eyes, which had been silent for millennia.
Then, a continuous mist appeared, and her phoenix eyes were eventually completely covered by tears.
"My husband, I knew you wouldn't abandon me."
A hoarse cry rang out in the empty hall, breaking the long silence.
Li Lan didn't know how to comfort her, so he raised his hand and then slowly lowered it again.
After a long while, Xiao Rong finally recovered from her sadness.
"Who exactly are you? Are you perhaps my husband's friend in the Celestial Realm?"
It's no wonder she was so suspicious, because there certainly wouldn't be anyone in the Great Black Heaven willing to help her in this way.
Only those from the Heavenly Realm would be willing to come here to help her retrieve her husband's bone.
Li Lan smiled faintly, choosing not to answer the question.
"My identity is not important; what matters is getting back Yi Jun's bone."
"If you're willing to trust me, then come with me."
After speaking, Li Lan didn't wait for Xiao Rong's reply, took a step, and left the main hall.
Whether Xiao Rong agrees or not is irrelevant; as long as she knows she is not an enemy, that is enough.
With this internal connection in place, things will be much easier in the future.
Upon returning to his residence, Li Lan went directly to Su Yao's room.
Da Niu was also there at that moment.
Whenever he has free time, Da Niu comes here to keep an eye on Su Yao.
"Brother Li Lan, you're finally back."
"Ah."
Li Lan nodded slightly and walked to Su Yao's side.
He placed his palm on Su Yao's delicate hand and began to examine her condition.
