After leaving the Mi Court, Xiao Lan was standing under a pine tree, staring into the distance, lost in thought.

Was the man in white with the hollow mask Xuanyuan?

The aura on his body, the coldness, and his voice … It was as if …

And from the respectful address that the guard called out to the pavilion master, it was likely that he was the true controller of the Qilin Pavilion, the Qilin Pavilion Master.

Qilin Pavilion Master … Xuanyuan Yun …

If he is Xuanyuan …

Xiao Lan shifted his gaze back to his body. Judging from his reaction just now, he probably didn't recognize her and had even treated her like a real man.

Before she came here, she had taken a voice changing pill, and every part of her body was displaying the characteristics of a male. Especially her appearance, which she had even transformed into the appearance of a thousand-year-old Xiao Lan. It was likely that even if he was Xuanyuan, he wouldn't be able to recognize her …

However, there were some things that, just in case, she should hurry up and do.

"Aperture, why are you daydreaming here, it's so hard for me to find you."

Chu Xiu's voice could clearly be heard from afar.

Hearing that, Xiao Lan came back to his senses and looked over. As Chu Xiuze approached, he could clearly feel the aura around her churning and disordered.

Injured … Furthermore, it was not light …

Xiao Lan couldn't help but think of the white-clothed man within the Compendium Pavilion.

"He's been beaten."

Chu Xiuhai didn't feel the slightest bit of awkwardness towards Xiao Lan's outburst. Instead, she drew closer and closer to Xiao Lan, her face full of grievance and grief for his care.

"That's right, to be beaten up, wasn't it your fault …"

Her fault? Xiao Lan frowned. "What has it got to do with me?"

Chu Xiujing extended her hand and slowly caressed Xiao Lan's finger. "You're the one who caused my heart to pound, making me unable to take care of the Qilin Hall's matters. I only wish to accompany you day and night. Now, I've been punished by the Pavilion Master."

Just as Chu Xiuzhi's fingers were about to touch her, Xiao Lan quickly placed his hands behind his back. He couldn't help but feel goosebumps rising all over his body.

This' beauty trap 'is really going to make her sick to death …

Xiao Lan's voice was cold. "You can't blame me for this. Moreover, I've clearly told you that I don't like you."

Xiao Lan left in large strides.

Chu Xiu-Li quickly followed after him, heavily injured, at his side, "Why can't I blame you, and … "Aperture, tell me, what exactly do I need to do to make you fall in love with me?"

Xiao Lan stopped and coldly glanced at Chu Xiujing, "I would never like it."

How could she possibly like this Broken Sleeve?

Xiao Lan's voice was resolute, and Chu Xiujing's heart sank to the bottom of the abyss.

No matter what, I don't like it …

"Aperture …"

How could he say such a heartbreaking thing …

"Aperture, are you thinking about it?"

"No need." She didn't need to think about it.

"Aperture..."

As soon as Xuanyuan Po stepped out of the courtyard and looked up, he saw a scene like this. Chu Xiuhai's eyes were filled with emotion as she followed beside the handsome young man called Xiao Zi Dian.

He knew that Chu Xiushui had a hobby of breaking his sleeves, but in all these years, he had never been this serious towards a man. Now he was serious towards a young man. Could it be that he was really deeply moved?

Xuanyuan Yun couldn't help but look at Xiao Lan's back once more.

He was dressed in brocade, his facial features were elegant and his hair was black. He walked with clean steps, and without any hesitation, he looked around with a prideful aura. Every move he made carried with it his own unique aura.

Xuanyuan Po was willing to take a second look at this kind of man, let alone Chu Xiuhai …

But... Xuanyuan Yun suddenly felt a sense of familiarity with Xiao Zi Dian.

He was so familiar with her that he was about to blurt out her name.

"..." Impossible. The person in front of him was a man. Regardless of whether it was his voice or his physical appearance, he looked like a man.

But, her princess consort was a woman …

Could it be that he had gone mad from anxiety these past three days? Even looking at a man, he felt that it was his "Wanda Yi"?

Xuanyuan Yun stopped in his tracks.

The attendants behind him quickly filed out, and walked out of the courtyard with countless books and bamboo slips in their hands.

The guard's pace was very fast. When he passed by Xiao Lan and Chu Xiu, he didn't arouse the slightest bit of interest from Chu Xiu, but Xiao Lan couldn't help but stop and look at the thick books and bamboo slips.

"This is …"

Moments later, Xiao Lan couldn't help but pull a guard over and ask in a low voice.

The servant who had been forcibly stopped was startled at first, but soon after, his face started to turn slightly pale. He subconsciously turned his head to look behind him.

"I'm asking you, what are you doing?"

"I …" The guard hesitated a second time without uttering a single word.

It wasn't that he didn't want to say it, but … How could they have the guts to say anything about the Pavilion Master? Moreover, this body is right behind us, alright …

Xiao Lan followed his subordinate's line of sight and slowly looked at the white figure standing in front of the door. With his second glance, he still felt that this Qilin Pavilion's pavilion master was Xuanyuan Yun.

Although he was wearing a mask, she was sixty percent sure.

When Chu Xiuli saw Xiao Lan stop, he naturally stopped and followed Xiao Lan's gaze. After glancing at it, he immediately bowed.

"Lord Pavilion Master."

He did not expect the pavilion master to be here as well.

Xuanyuan Wentian strode to the two's side, his pitch-black eyes gazing at Chu Xiujing through the exquisite mask, then to Xiao Lan.

"Right."

An indifferent response.

Chu Hsiu-li straightened up.

During this entire time, Xiao Lan stood there quietly, not moving.

Such a Xiao Lan made Xuanyuan Feng slightly narrow his eyes. 'Him' was filled with unswerving determination within his bones, a look that made his spine straighten … It looked more and more alike.

Feeling Xuanyuan Yun's gaze on Xiao Lan, Chu Xiushui calmly took a step forward. This step perfectly blocked Xuanyuan Yun's line of sight to Xiao Lan.

"Pavilion Master, what is this?"

Chu Xiujing's gaze swept across the books and bamboo slips held in the hands of his attendants.

Xuanyuan Po did not want to say anything, but he did not want anyone to know what he was doing.

However, at this moment, Xuanyuan Yun's expression suddenly froze as he spoke with a clear voice.

"This Pavilion Master is now interested in the strange things like pearls. I will take out a few books that have quite a comprehensive description and bring them back to read."

After speaking these words, Xuanyuan Yun's pitch-black gaze quickly flew around Chu Xiujing and landed on Xiao Lan's body once more.

Xiao Lan immediately lowered his eyes before Xuanyuan Yun's gaze once again fell on him. As for what his expression was, it was naturally covered up by the curtain of his eyes.

Xuan Yuan's eyes darkened. "He …" Was this indifference or was he not interested?

How could Xiao Lan, who had her eyes lowered at this moment, not be interested?
