C503 Setting up an Ambush in the Moon(1)

The most important thing for a man in life is fame and fortune.

The Lan family had given Xiao Mingyu everything that a man wanted in his life. No matter how stupid he was, he would never lose everything to a woman who did not love him at all!

A sharp look flashed across Lan Lijue's eyes. He said coldly, "I am not worried that he will betray me because of Lan Xuehan. I am worried about that old matter.

Xiao Mingyu was a rare genius. His ability was not inferior to Dongfang Jin and the others. If he can use this talent well, it will be a great help to me.

If it is not used well, it will be a great obstacle to me! I would rather kill a thousand wrong people than let one go. Even if what happened back then was already untraceable, I won't let him live either."

When Lan Lijue mentioned the old incident, Lan Xing's eyes turned slightly silent. He continued," Those who knew about the incident back then were all dead. Even if he wanted to investigate, he would not be able to find out.

Besides, wasn't the forbidden technique planted by the patriarch able to control his life and death at will? At that time, if he had any ulterior motives, the family head would naturally be able to get rid of him with ease."

Speaking of this, Lan Lijue also thought of the forbidden technique on Xiao Mingyu's body.

It was a kind of spell that was cast on the formation of the Lan family's spirit field to ensure the loyalty of the person who made the vow. If the person betrayed him in the future, he could use the spell to kill him.

But...

This was harmful to the person who cast the spell, not to mention that he had the Mother and Child Gu on him.

Although the Mother Gu was not very harmful to him, it would cause irreversible damage to him if he were to encounter a spell.

This was also the reason why he did not attack easily. Lan Lijue wanted to have the world under his control, so naturally he would pay extra attention to his own body.

"Alright, let's do this!"

Seeing that Lan Lijue had made up his mind, Lan Xing tactfully swallowed his words.

After following Lan Lijue for so many years, he knew Lan Lijue's temper very well. He was a dictator and did not like to force others to disobey and suspect him.

Besides loyalty, he was also able to become the person Lan Lijue trusted the most. He was also able to empathize with Lan Lijue's personality and be tactful.

After Lan Yanhua became suspicious of Lan Lijue in his heart, he sent people to keep an eye on Lan Lijue's movements. He had heard that Lan Lijue had met Xiao Mingyu today, and that the two of them had been discussing for a long time.

His heart moved slightly, and then he ordered people to secretly pay attention to Xiao Mingyu's whereabouts.

When it was evening, the men who were sent out came back to report that Xiao Mingyu was planning something, and he even ordered his men to pay attention to the Yin family's movements.

This news undoubtedly made the suspicion in Lan Yanhua's heart deepen a little. After thinking about it for a long time, he could not sit still.

In the end, he decided to personally talk about Lan Lijue's words.

Seeing his father, who had always frightened him, Lan Yanhua lowered his eyebrows and carefully asked, "Father, Yin family has been sending people to assassinate Lan Xuehan these few days. What is father's opinion on this matter?"

Lan Yanhua had been looking down so that no one could see the expression in his eyes. But who was Lan Lijue? He had a deep thought. Naturally, he could see through his son's thoughts with just a glance.

He coldly harrumphed, "Your purpose here is to ask me if I can help Yin family. I'm afraid you want to ask me why I didn't make the decision for Yan Er and Xi Er, right?"

Lan Yanhua didn't expect Lan Lijue to see through his thoughts so thoroughly. For a moment, he was at a loss for words. A sense of fear rose in his heart, and he lost the confidence to speak.

"Father, I... I..." He stuttered for a long time, but he didn't know what to say.

At this moment, Lan Lijue suddenly lost his temper. He threw the teacup beside his hand onto the ground and snapped, "Back then, I told you to take care of your family affairs and your women.

But what about yours? Look at what you have done. Even if I wanted to stand up for you, I wouldn't be able to take advantage of her. Besides, the situation wasn't clear yet. If it was because of such a small matter... Can you bear the consequences of ruining my plans?"

After he finished speaking, he took a deep breath as if he had lost his breath. Then, with a slightly comforting and gentle tone, he said, "Why are you in such a hurry? When the time comes, whether it is Lan Xuehan or Dongfang Jin, they will just be prisoners.

When that time comes, you can do whatever you want. If you can't even tolerate this, how can you achieve great things? Moreover, isn't Lie Ming already avenging Yan'er and Yan Er?"

Although the latter part of the sentence was a question, it carried a bit of coldness.

Lan Yanhua's eyes flashed. He pursed his lips, seemingly ashamed. But in fact, his eyes were deep, as thick as ink.

"Father, this matter was caused by Yifei's unfairness. That's why she sought out the Yin family Master. In addition, the Yin family had an old grudge with Lan Xuehan and the others, so it was understandable that the Yin family's master would make a move on them."

"Just pretend that I don't know about this matter. You should take care of your own matters in your courtyard. I don't want you to share my burden like your third brother, but don't drag me down either. Do you understand?"

His tone was cold, not like he was talking to his son, but just a subordinate!

He listened to Lan Lijue's undisguised disdain towards him and how much he valued Lan Yuhua. Lan Yanhua suppressed his anger and nodded. "Yes, please rest assured, father. Son understands!"

He wanted to ask about the secret guard in Lan Yuhua's hand again, but Lan Yanhua felt that it was unnecessary.

He turned around and went to where Xiao Mingyu was, but he lingered at the door for a long time and did not know what reason he should use to go in.

Xiao Mingyu had always been the strangest existence in the Lan family. He was not a member of the Lan family, but he had interfered in the matters of the Lan family under the name of his fiancé.

Lan Lijue had also nurtured him as a member of the Lan family. What was even more infuriating was that his talent in martial arts was simply abnormal. His martial arts skills and techniques were the cream of the crop of this generation, and his limelight was directly suppressing his own son.

Therefore, Xiao Mingyu was very convincing in the Lan family. Everyone in the Lan family addressed him as Young Master Xiao. Over time, his courtyard was no longer a place they could enter as they wished.

Perhaps it was because Lan Yanhua had stayed at the door for too long that the guards were alerted. manservant came over and asked him, "Is Second Master looking for my young master?"

Lan Yanhua looked a little embarrassed when he was asked. In the end, he thought of a reason.

"That's right. I do have something to talk to your young master about."

After seeing Xiao Mingyu, Lan Yanhua felt a little awkward. However, when he thought of his own purpose, he said, "Xiao Mingyu, I have something to ask you today."

For some reason, although he was clearly a sickly person, he was a little timid in front of him, so much so that he did not even have the confidence to speak.

Xiao Mingyu's cup of tea curled up, making his eyes look calm and indifferent. "Second Master, just say what you want to say!"

"You have seen Shangguan Lan before? He is the Right Minister of Linfeng Country."

"I have."
