"Uh, I, I'm here to find someone." Lan Ye suddenly came back to his senses and said hurriedly: "It's a friend of mine."

The corners of the woman's lips raised inadvertently and she said: "There is not even a ghost in this barren mountain. Where did the people come from? Don't lie to me!"

Lan Ye touched his head and said, "Well, it's true that my friend can't be considered a person."

"What? You said your friend is not a human being?" the woman said angrily, "You actually scolded your friend?"

"Um, no, that's not what I meant." Lan Ye waved her hands hurriedly and said, "That friend of mine should be a bird."

The woman in front of her exuded a fiery aura, and Lan Ye had to change her words again: "Well, it's not a bird. To be precise, it should be a god. Yes, it's a god!"

The burning feeling dissipated, and Lan Ye secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The woman just stared at him, with flames dancing vaguely in her bright eyes, and a smile on her fair face.

Lan Ye was so frightened by her stare that she couldn't understand the current situation at all.

"Pfft!" After a sound, the woman actually smiled.

Lan Ye froze on the spot for a moment. Before he could react, a faint fragrance hit his face and he was hugged by the woman in front of him.

"Lanye, you're finally here! Giggle!" The woman said coquettishly while shaking Lan Ye.

Lan Ye was like a puppet. He had already guessed that the woman holding him was probably Xiao Cai. Just fifteen years ago, Xiao Cai looked like a chicken. How come she has transformed into a human being now?

"You're a big liar. You promised to find me in five years, but it's been three to five years!" Xiao Cai complained: "Staying in this broken mountain these past few years has been boring to death! Humph, you have to compensate me!

"

Lan Ye finally came to her senses, patted her shoulder and said softly: "I'm sorry, Xiaocai, I'm late!"

Xiaocai suddenly buried her head in Lan Ye's arms and started crying. Lan Ye didn't know what to do for a while, so he had to let her cry.

After a while, Xiaocai stopped crying and said with big tearful eyes: "But you still came to me. I know you won't leave me alone, right?"

Lan Ye's heart ached, and he looked at her lovingly and said, "Well, no matter when or where I am, I will never leave you alone! Is your injury better?"

Xiaocai nodded, wiped her tears and said, "Well, it was fine ten years ago. I absorbed all the energy of this volcano, and my strength has increased a lot. It is now the second level. Two years ago, I

I can finally turn into a human form." As she said that, she turned around and said, "How about it, isn't it beautiful? Cackling!"

Lan Ye nodded seriously and said: "Beautiful, so beautiful!"

A smile spread across Xiaocai's face, she raised her chin and said, "Hehe, of course it's beautiful, I'm the Divine Phoenix Princess!"

Lan Ye smiled and said: "I know, I know, you are the beautiful little princess of Divine Phoenix!"

"Hey, how long are you two going to reminisce about old times?" Xiaopang said impatiently from the side: "It's not safe in these deep mountains and forests."

"Hey, where did this little fat guy come from?" Xiao Cai stared at the little fat guy curiously and said, "I didn't pay attention to you just now."

"..." Little Fatty had a black line on his face.

Lan Ye said: "It is a blood ginseng. Just like you, it can also transform into a human being."

Xiao Cai nodded and said: "Oh, great supplement! I just need a supplement!" She swallowed as she spoke.

Xiaopang was so frightened that he hid behind Lan Ye, grabbed his pants, and said: "Hey, don't act like this, I don't taste good, it's very bitter!"

Lan Ye smiled and said, "Okay, Xiaocai, stop teasing him. What are your plans?"

Xiao Cai pouted and said, "I don't know either. I just want to find the members of our Divine Phoenix clan and awaken the Divine Phoenix bloodline."

Lan Ye said: "Then do you know where they are?"

Xiaocai shook her head and said, "I don't know either. I'm totally confused right now."

Lan Ye said: "In that case, come with me first. I plan to meet a few old friends first, and then go to the Suzaku Forbidden Area in the Southern Territory. Maybe your tribe will be there too."

Xiao Cai said: "Okay, I don't have anywhere to go anyway, so it's best to follow you. I will go wherever you go, and we will never be separated again!"

Lan Ye nodded and was about to answer when suddenly an idea flashed in his mind and said: "Be careful, there is a strong person!"

Xiaocai looked around and saw silence, and said blankly: "The strong man? Where is he?"

Not long after, the forest in the distance shook violently, and two giant eagles spread their wings and soared into the air, screaming continuously.

Xiaocai said: "Oh my god, you can predict the unknown? Is the Xuanwu inheritance so powerful?"

In an instant, a huge figure appeared at the foot of the mountain. A giant ape, covered in snow-white body and twenty feet tall, was quickly climbing towards the top of the mountain.

Lan Ye was panicked and said: "No, we can't afford to offend this big guy, let's run away!"

Xiaopang has already slipped into Lan Ye's storage ring.

Xiaocai smiled calmly and said: "Don't be afraid, this guy is just a little follower of mine, haha!"

After a while, the giant ape climbed up to the top, sat on the ground with his buttocks open, and growled a few times at Xiao Cai and Lan Ye, very well-behaved.

Seeing that it was not malicious, Lan Ye felt relieved. This giant ape was the silver-backed devil ape he had saved with his blood fifteen years ago. If it hadn't frightened Li Lang away, Lan Ye would not have survived.

today.

Xiao Caidao walked over, patted the giant ape, and said: "His name is Lan Ye, he is my friend, you are not allowed to bully him."

The giant ape patted its chest and roared several times in response.

Lan Ye said: "How about we let the giant ape carry us out? How about taking a look at the scenery along the way?"

Xiaocai clapped her hands and said: "What a great idea, let's do it like this."

The two people jumped on the shoulders of the giant ape. The giant ape seemed to understand their words, stood up slowly, and walked down the mountain. Two giant eagles were hovering above their heads...

The two talked non-stop along the way, not only repeating the events of the previous fifteen years several times, but also making plans for the next fifteen years.

Ten days later, the giant ape came to the edge of the Changsen Mountains. The two said goodbye to the giant ape and the giant eagle, and headed straight for Lingshui County.

"Hey, black gold card, sir!" The guard respectfully returned the black gold card to Lan Ye with a smile on his face.

Lan Ye nodded and walked into the gate of the Royal Auction House with Xiao Cai.

"Oh, I wonder who the noble one is, but I didn't expect that our honorary elder is here! Cackling!" A burst of delicate laughter came.

In the blink of an eye, Wu Meier appeared in front of her eyes, staring at Lan Ye with a smile.

"I've seen Mr. Wu, long time no see!" Lan Ye saluted.

"Hey, Elder Lan, we are all a family, why are we so invisible to outsiders?" Wu Meier said with a sweet smile: "We haven't seen each other for so many years, Elder Lan has grown into an adult!"

Lan Ye smiled and said: "Well, I have grown up, but you are still the same as before, no change!"

Wu Mei'er covered her mouth and chuckled, saying: "I didn't expect Elder Lan to praise others, haha!"

Xiao Cai looked unhappy at the side and said: "Are you just going to talk here? I'm thirsty, can I go in and get a glass of water?"

After hearing this, Wu Mei'er hurriedly compiled her words and said, "Oh, I was so busy talking to Elder Lan that I forgot, please forgive me for not knowing etiquette, please hurry up, please hurry up."

The three of them walked through a long corridor and came to a spacious living room. Wu Meier notified Qi Xiang to come.

Qi Xiang stared at Lan Ye for a long time and said: "Young master Lan can get the Xuanwu inheritance. He is really a lucky man! Congratulations!"

Lan Ye said: "It's just a fluke. I haven't seen you for many years. I'm surprised you are fine!"

Qi Xiang chuckled and said, "I'm old, so I just have to live like this."

Lan Ye said: "I wonder if Lord Luo of Tianyan City is still here?"

Qi Xiang said: "Since you entered the Xuanwu Forbidden Land, the Lord of Luo City has been recuperating here. He only left ten years ago when his injury recovered. He originally planned to wait for you to come out of the forbidden land to meet you, but there has been no news from you.

, he had no choice but to return to the Southern Territory first, and when he left, he specifically told me that if he meets you, you must go to him and talk to him!"

Lan Ye said: "Oh, it's okay if he's okay! It's okay if he's okay!"

The two chatted for a long time, and Lan Ye was about to say goodbye. Qi looked coldly and said: "Master Lan, have you always wanted to ask me a question?"

Lan Ye was stunned by the question and said: "Well, Mr. Qi is really wise. I just have a question to ask, kid. It has been bothering me for many years."

Qi Xiang smiled and nodded, saying: "Do you want to ask me why I wanted to save you at that time?"

Lan Ye nodded and said: "That's true. If it weren't for Master Wu and Captain Zhang, I'm afraid I would have died a long time ago. But I really can't figure out why you want to save me, and I ask Mr. Qi to explain it."

Qi Xiang said: "Haha, I saved you because your grandfather once saved me!"

Lan Ye was stunned. He had never met his parents, let alone his grandfather. Hearing the old man's tone, could it be that his grandfather was still alive?

When I thought of this, I couldn't help but feel excited, and said excitedly: "My grandpa? Where is he?"

Qi Xiang smiled and said: "Your grandfather had traveled across the continent for hundreds of years and had few opponents. Many years ago, because of my youth and arrogance, I offended a big shot and was chased by him. I was seriously injured and saw that I could not survive, but

He was rescued by your grandfather and brought back to Qingyun Sect for treatment."

"Qingyun Sect?" Lan Ye whispered.

"Well, I rested in Qingyun Sect for half a year." Qixiang continued: "During this period, I met your parents again and formed a deep friendship with them. As for your grandfather, he was

He is already a Xuanling Master. The year your parents had an accident, he suddenly said that he wanted to travel around the world and has disappeared since then. Over the years, I have been secretly investigating, but I have never been able to find out any information about him."

Lan Ye's eyes widened and she said, "Oh, what about my parents? What do they look like? I, I have never seen them!"

Qi Xiang caressed the back of Lan Ye's hand and said: "Child, your parents are definitely a pair of indomitable heroes! Back then, your enemies spread rumors and slandered your parents on the mainland. You must not believe it."

Lan Ye said: "Well, I won't believe it. One day I will avenge them!"

Qi Xiang said: "Revenge must be avenged, but you have to wait until you are strong enough to do so! I know something about your parents' enemies, but I can't tell you, at least not now. Do you understand?"
