4080 Last time?
In the martial arts competition of Liangzhou, the number one genius of the LAN clan, LAN Lingyan, had killed the young master of the Bai clan, Bai Jiu.
To Bai wangu, this was the pain of losing his son. So, he had to make LAN Lingyan pay with his life.
At this moment, according to the Grand Elder LAN wushou’s suggestion, LAN mengchen was to replace LAN Lingyan in order to appease Bai wangu’s hatred.
Wasn’t this the same as asking LAN Mengcheng to die?
“City Lord? Elders? You … Why aren’t you guys saying anything?”
!!LAN Mengcheng’s pupils shrank, and her heart clenched. She looked helplessly at the crowd, but no one said a word.
Obviously, this was a silent agreement!
Everyone agreed with LAN wushou’s suggestion.
“Young master, since you’re sitting on the throne, you should bear the responsibility on your shoulders!” LAN wushou said coldly.
“Responsibility? What responsibility?” LAN Mengcheng was dumbfounded.
From the beginning to the end, he only had the title of a young master, sitting here like a flower vase. He didn’t enjoy any power, so why did he have to bear responsibility?
Moreover, he would be bearing the consequences with his life!
&Quot; young master, you know very well that LAN Lingyan is a top genius that only appears once every hundred million years in the LAN clan. He has the potential to become a saint King and his future is limitless. It’s no exaggeration to say that he is the future of the LAN clan! &Quot;
“What about you, young master?” LAN wushou said disdainfully. Although his aptitude was good, his cultivation was slow to improve, and he didn’t have the slightest chance of becoming a saint King! Using you to replace LAN Lingyan will be beneficial to the entire LAN family!”
LAN Mengcheng felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
No wonder everyone was talking. It seemed that they all agreed with LAN wushou.
In terms of talent, LAN Lingyan was indeed an outstanding talent. He was the hope of the LAN clan’s future and could even help the LAN clan to rise to greater heights.
On the other hand, although LAN Mengcheng was talented, her Foundation was not stable after receiving so many inheritances. She had encountered a bottleneck in digesting the inheritances and her cultivation had stopped for a long time. Her future was bleak.
From this point of view, using LAN Mengcheng to die in place of LAN Lingyan was definitely the best choice.
However, LAN Mengcheng knew that things were not as simple as that!
There was a bigger reason why everyone agreed to this. LAN mengchen was isolated and helpless among the upper echelons, and LAN Lingyan was the third son of the city Lord, LAN Yitian. The connections, family, and relationships were self-evident!
In fact, LAN Lingyan was the young master of the LAN family before LAN mengchen appeared.
The reason why he made LAN Mengcheng the young master was because she had received the highest inheritance from the LAN family’s ancestor.
More importantly, after LAN Mengcheng had obtained the Supreme inheritance, she had also obtained the Supreme Saint Royal weapon of the LAN family!
Because of this, the city Lord, LAN Yingtian, had to bear the pain and take his pride in his third son, LAN Lingyan, from the position of young master and give it to LAN mengchen.
At that time, all the higher-ups of the LAN family regarded LAN Mengcheng as the real young master and respected her very much. They even gave her another inheritance.
However, everything changed when LAN Mengcheng received the new inheritance.
LAN Mengcheng’s cultivation had reached a bottleneck. She could not digest the power of the inheritance and could not make a breakthrough.
Of course, this was only a little disappointing, but it did not change their respectful and loving attitude towards LAN Mengcheng.
The real reason why LAN Mengcheng was isolated was …
She had lost that Supreme clan-protecting Saint King weapon!
It must be known that the city Lord, LAN Yingtian, was apprehensive about the Saint Royal weapon, so he had asked his son, LAN Lingyan, to give up the position of young master!
Most of the higher-ups respected LAN Mengcheng because they were afraid of the Holy Royal weapon!
However, LAN Mengcheng had actually lost the Holy Royal weapon!
As soon as the news spread, the higher-ups of the LAN family’s attitude towards LAN Mengcheng took a sharp turn!
He isolated her, suppressed her, disrespected her, and even lectured her in public like LAN wushou!
This was a typical case of bullying the weak and fearing the strong!
Today, the LAN family and the Bai family had become mortal enemies. Not only did they bully the weak and fear the strong, but they also wanted to hit her when she was down and get rid of LAN mengchen completely!
After all, everyone was smart.
To put it bluntly, LAN mengchen was of no value to the LAN family. On the contrary, LAN Lingyan could carry the LAN family’s future and make the LAN family stronger and better!
Hence, no one made a sound at this moment. They all agreed with LAN wushou’s suggestion.
“If no one has any objections, then this matter is settled!”
“Young lord!” LAN wushou sneered with squinted eyes. You’ve sacrificed your life for the future of our LAN family, we’ll definitely remember your contribution forever, and the history books of the future will definitely let your name be passed down for generations to come!”
&Quot; I … &Quot; LAN Mengcheng was extremely aggrieved.
Everyone had already agreed to this. Even if LAN Mengcheng did not agree, it would be useless.
In the eyes of the crowd, LAN Mengcheng was already a dead man.
Some people had even started to think of an epitaph for LAN Mengcheng, and how to record this in the history books.
No one cared about what LAN Mengcheng thought.
“Mm, it’s decided then!”
LAN Yingtian, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke. His voice was deep and his aura was unyielding. It was like an imperial edict that could not be questioned.
“Yes!”
LAN wushou cupped his hands in obeisance and said respectfully, &Quot; I will contact Bai wangu in a moment. As long as he agrees, we can send LAN Mengcheng over today and resolve the enmity between the two families. &Quot;
“Go do it!” LAN Yitian waved his hand, then stood up and walked to the back of the hall.
“Men!”
LAN wushou shouted and captured LAN mengchen. He sealed her cultivation and waited for further instructions.
“Yes, sir!”
A few soldiers swarmed forward and surrounded LAN Mengcheng.
In fact, LAN Mengcheng was already at the peak of a two-star true sage, which was countless times stronger than these guards.
However, most of the elders present were stronger than LAN Mengcheng.
Hence, LAN knew that resistance was futile.
“Great elder! I won’t resist! But I want to see him!” LAN Mengcheng shouted.
“Him? Is he the kid that Blue Dragon was talking about?”
LAN wushou narrowed his eyes and said disdainfully, &Quot; he’s just a weakling from the lower planes. Do you expect him to save you? ”
“No! I just want to see him, I won’t let him risk his life to save me!” LAN Mengcheng said sadly.
“Heh, at least you still have some self-awareness! If that brat dares to save you, this old man can crush him with one finger!”
LAN wushou’s face was full of arrogance as he said viciously,”Forget it, just take it as your last wish. This old man agrees to let you two meet, but I’ll say the ugly things first, that boy must know his place, or else this old man will make him wish he was dead!”
“Yes … I’ll warn him.” LAN Mengcheng’s tone was submissive, and she felt like her heart was being cut by a knife.
Anger, grievance, depression, humbleness, these were nothing.
What she could not accept the most was that this might be the last time she would see Chen Xiaobei!
