Lan Shaoyan only grew more remorseful, If not for me then perhaps the whole family wouldnât have had to worry so much.
âYoung Master, Young Master!â It was then that a servant came running over, his breath panting still from the rush. âThis isnât good young masters! Someone big is happeningâ¦â
âWhat?â
âWhat happened?â
Both boys were startled by that.
Is it the Blood Moon Sect?
This possibility promptly causes the second grandson to drop a rock into his heart. Nevertheless, the fear quickly changed to a firmness never before seen in the boyâs eye.
Regardless of what they want to do, I must bear it all on my own. I cannot let my family be dragged down with me.
âLetâs go, we will see first then decide.â Patting his younger brotherâs shoulder, Lan Shaoling attempts to reassure the other side with his soft voice: âDonât worry, nothing will happen.â
Giving a nod in return, Lan Shaoyan hurried to follow his older brother and the messenger.
â¦â¦
Main reception hall.
Old Lord Lan was currently gawking his eyes out in his master chair due to the impressive number of treasure boxes displayed before his very eyes.
âGrandfather, what is going on?â Lan Shaoling asks, his brow furrowing hard at the odd scene.
At the moment the old house master was still clouded in a mass of fog, thatâs why it took him so long to respond. However, before the old man could say a single word, another servant of the household has already run over in haste to report.
âMilord, the elder of the Shadowless Sect is wishing to seek an audience.â
Shadowless Sect?
A series of hissing sounds were filling up the place as well as looks of surprise in the two brothers face.
âIsnât it supposed to be people from the Blood Moon Sect, why is it the Shadowless Sect? Shaoyan, did you go and provoke them as well?â
Lan Shaolingâs complexion was seriously not looking so well at this point, The Blood Moon Sect is hard enough to handle, now thereâs a Shadowless Sect? It seems we canât keep this matter from Bai Yan after all.
âI-I havenât had ti-time to tell you boys,â stuttering, the old grandpa couldnât keep his cool at all. âThese things are all sent by those second-rate sects of the mainland.â
Skipping a beat at his grandfatherâs word, Lan Shaoling widened his eyes in shock: âWhy would those sects send us gifts? What is going on here?â
âI donât know either,â Old Lord Lan also makes a frown then, âPerhaps⦠theyâve all gone crazy?â
Apart from this reason, he really couldnât think of any other reason.
Just as he was discussing the reasons with his grandsons, the elder from the Shadowless Sect have finally stepped into the main hall with the gift in hand.
âIâm assuming this must be Senior Lan?â
Senior Lan?
Old Lord Lan was seriously taken aback by the form of address. Whether it be strength or seniority, the other side was by far leagues ahead of himself. Twitching in that mouth till itâs now showing an awkward face: âI am not worthy of such seniority, but do tell your reasoning for this visit?â
âNo, no, your position in our heart is well deserving of being called âSeniorâ.â Making an awkward laugh himself, the elder from the Shadowless Sect hurries to get to the point: âIâm here to bring gifts and to congratulate your family.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Now Old Lord Lan was getting more and more confused because its one thing if only a single person came, but so many at once? Thereâs no way this could be a coincidence, thus making his heart more and more anxious by this point.
âSenior, you wouldnât mind me calling you Senior right? Mind telling me what is happening? Why are all the powers out there sending my family gifts left and right?â
