Ning Ya left. Qinchuan lay on the bed by himself as he stared at the ceiling in confusion. His mind was in a mess.
Just as Qinchuan's thoughts were in a mess, the doorbell suddenly rang. Qinchuan did not reply. A while later, the door was actually pushed open from the outside. Lan Yuzhou slowly walked in and arrived beside Qinchuan's bed.
Lan Yuzhou could not help but be surprised when he saw Qinchuan lying on the bed in a daze. He had thought that Qinchuan was just an excuse when he said that he was unwell, but it seemed that he was not lying. He really was not in a good state.
"Your Lan family really is impressive. You can enter someone else's room without their permission. Aren't you afraid that I'll tell my master and get her to kill you?"
Qinchuan slowly turned his head and looked at Lan Yuzhou. He said indifferently, "I think that if you're the only one who dies, the Lan family probably won't fall out with my master."
Lan Yuzhou remained extremely calm in the face of Qinchuan's naked threat. He smiled and placed the bag in his hand before Qinchuan. He said, "Please forgive my rudeness this time for the sake of these ten mid grade thunder spirit stones."
Qinchuan glanced at Lan Yuzhou deeply when he heard that. He said, "It's best if it's just this once."
With that, Qinchuan sat up from the bed and opened the bag. After confirming that there were indeed ten mid grade thunder spirit stones, he put them away and handed the bag back to Lan Yuzhou. He said, "Speak. What do you want from me?"
Lan Yuzhou stared blankly at the bag that Qinchuan had returned. He then smiled at Qinchuan, "Can I find a chair to sit down and talk to you slowly?"
"Sure." Qinchuan nodded.
Lan Yuzhou found a chair and sat down in front of Qinchuan. He said to Qinchuan, "You should know very well that this matter has nothing to do with the Lan family. Zhao Kui was bribed. As for the two outer members of the Lan family, they were only following orders. They had no idea what Zhao Kui wanted to do by kidnapping you."
"Do you think I'll believe you?"
Qinchuan sneered, "If explanations were useful, the human and demon races wouldn't have been at war for eight thousand years."
"I know it's not that you don't believe me. You just want to take a bite out of our Lan family."
Lan Yuzhou smiled and said, "In fact, our Lan Clan is indeed in the wrong this time. So, our Lan Clan is prepared to spend money to avoid disaster. You can state your conditions. As long as they aren't too excessive, I can agree on behalf of the Lan Clan."
"Are you sure?"
Qinchuan didn't think that Lan Yuzhou was someone who could make decisions on behalf of the Lan Clan.
Lan Yuzhou took out a list from his shirt pocket and said to Qinchuan, "The conditions that the Lan Clan can accept have been written on it. You just need to state them."
"It seems that your Lan Clan has held a meeting." Qinchuan chuckled and said, "In that case, I won't stand on ceremony."
Lan Yuzhou heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Qinchuan's words. Their Lan Clan wasn't afraid of spending money. They were only afraid that Qinchuan would insist that they weren't willing to accept money.
"Your Lan Clan should be very powerful in Blue Ancient City and the Elf City, right?"
Qinchuan didn't immediately state his conditions. Instead, he asked about the strength of the Lan Clan. This made Lan Yuzhou feel very strange, but he still answered Qinchuan's question truthfully.
"In Blue Ancient City, there are a total of two aristocratic families. One of them is our Lan Clan, and the other is the Wu Clan.
Our Lan Clan's power is weaker than the Wu Clan, but it's not much different.
As for the Elf City, the current mayor is Lord Lan Ning. In the Elf City, our Lan Clan's words are definitely the biggest. "
"I understand."
Qinchuan nodded and said, "Then I'll state my conditions. First, I want the foundation building liquid, the highest quality foundation building liquid!"
"Okay."
Lan Yuzhou agreed. The Lan Clan's higher-ups had already thought of this possibility during the previous meeting, so Lan Yuzhou, who had read the list in advance, wasn't surprised by Qinchuan's conditions.
"According to our opinion, if you want the high quality foundation building liquid, then you can only make two more conditions at most, and the value can't exceed the high quality foundation building liquid."
The Lan Clan wasn't a money-grubber, allowing Qinchuan to ask for as much as he wanted. There should still be some restrictions.
"Of course, I don't intend to make two more conditions. In addition to the highest quality foundation building liquid, I only have one condition, and that is to help me protect two people."
Qinchuan looked at Lan Yuzhou seriously and said, "Bai Yuu and Lü Zi, you should know them. I want your Lan Clan to protect them and not let any accidents happen to them. You know what accidents I'm talking about!"
Hearing Qinchuan's second request, Lan Yuzhou couldn't help but be stunned. He thought of countless possibilities, but he never thought that Qinchuan's second request would be for the Lan Clan to be the bodyguards of Bai Yuu and Lü Zi!
"This request isn't on the list. I need to ask for instructions." Lan Yuzhou looked at Qinchuan with some hesitation.
"Go."
Qin Chuan didn't refuse. He took the opportunity to hand over the ten mid-grade Thunder Spirit Stones he had obtained earlier to Lan Yuzhou.
Seeing Qinchuan's actions, Lan Yuzhou's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly. Qinchuan's actions were clearly expressing that if the Lan Clan wasn't willing to protect Bai Yuu and Lü Zi, then everything they had discussed before would be null and void, and the Lan Clan would have to take the blame!
Lan Yuzhou went out to contact the higher-ups of the Lan Clan. About five minutes later, he returned in front of Qinchuan and said in a deep voice, "High-quality foundation building liquid, and protecting Bai Yuu and Lü Zi from harm. The Lan Clan agrees to these two conditions. You must explain clearly for the Lan Clan before tomorrow and clear our name!"
"I understand. What happened before was my paranoia acting up. It was just my own imagination. The Lan Clan isn't targeting me."
Qinchuan smiled and said to Lan Yuzhou, "Actually, I don't have any deep enmity with the Lan Clan, right?
Maybe we can become friends and get rid of the Wu Clan together! "
Lan Yuzhou looked at Qinchuan with a subtle gaze and said, "To be honest, although you have some ability, you aren't qualified to be friends with the Lan Clan."
Qinchuan wasn't surprised by Lan Yuzhou's attitude. He shrugged lightly and said, "Don't bully the young for being poor."
After Lan Yuzhou completed his task, he wasn't in the mood to continue chatting with Qinchuan and simply left. As for the high-quality foundation building liquid, it would naturally be delivered to Qinchuan as soon as possible.
"The Wu Clan …"
Qinchuan murmured softly. If the person who made a move on him wasn't the Lan Clan, then the biggest suspect was the Wu Clan.
As the sworn enemy of the Lan Clan in Azure Ancient City, it wasn't difficult for the Wu Clan to infiltrate the Lan Clan's system.
