In fact, Yao Wan's worries are never groundless.
When Xiao Yan came to Bloodline Guidance, he saw someone who seemed to be waiting for him.
But for some reason, Xiao Yan felt that that figure looked strangely familiar.
"Wan Guniang?"
He muttered to himself, but neither his body shape nor his clothes looked anything like Wan Guniang.
On the contrary, the elegant moon-white dress inexplicably reminded Xiao Yan of the clothes of a certain Yun Lan Sect Young Sect Master.
"Nalan Yanran? No, that's not right."
Xiao Yan felt a little weird about the thought that suddenly flashed through his mind. He couldn't help but shook his head and drove this really strange distracting thought out of his mind.
But even so, he had to be wary of the identity of this unknown person.
After all, he is about to enter the secret realm. Xiao Yan doesn't want what happened last time in the Magical Beast Mountain Range to happen again. This is going to torture him to death?
But as if she sensed someone approaching, the woman in a moon-white dress turned around and saw a young man in black robes with a mask on his head.
Although he couldn't see his whole face clearly, judging from his smooth, beardless chin and skin, he couldn't be much older.
She couldn't help but narrowed her eyes slightly. For some reason, she just felt that this person looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was.
After all, in her current life, it is either the teacher or her, and all the Elders of the Yun Lan Sect have gray hair on their temples. The only young men she can occasionally come into contact with now are probably the Liu Lings that she sometimes really avoids.
But she still has some judgment ability. No matter how she looks at it, the person in front of her cannot be Liu Ling.
... She told herself to "get along well" before leaving...
But the question is, who should I get along well with?
When she thought of this, she almost vaguely realized that Yao Wan seemed to have not just arranged this trial for her.
After all, she had indeed searched just now, and this place was completely a dead place. Excluding the possibility that there was really nothing here, the only possibility was that the time had not come yet.
As a result, she didn't wait long before this man came.
Nalan Yanran walked up slowly and was about to speak, but when he looked at the eyes of the man in front of him under the mask, there was a hint of astonishment that he didn't know how to describe.
Nalan Yanran:?
What's going on?
She suddenly felt something was wrong. Why was this man staring at her face? Is there a flower on her face?
It's just that Nalan Yanran is wondering, but Xiao Yan is surprised.
——Why does this woman look so similar to Wan Guniang? Not to mention exactly the same, they are at least 70 or 80% similar, but the difference in temperament is not small.
Xiao Yan muttered secretly in his heart, while Yao Lao fell into a brief silence.
Yao Lao quickly changed from whether to remind Xiao Yan to the state of watching a show.
Although the little girl's disguise was as thin as a piece of paper in front of the powerful alchemist Soul Power, it was enough to hide Xiao Yan.
And judging from the current appearance of this female doll, even if you think on your knees, you can guess that it must have been done by that girl Yao Wan.
Therefore, Yao Lao, who originally wanted to remind him, chose to remain silent in the end.
After all, since the girl made such a move, she must have thought carefully about it. As for the two dolls Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan... it was not a big hatred at first. Yao Lao also knew this, so he simply ignored it.
"... I don't know, maybe she is my sister."
Yao Lao said something for no reason.
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Xiao Yan, who was just confused at first, suddenly realized that indeed, compared to other possibilities, this possibility was the most accurate.
When he thought of this, Xiao Yan stepped forward, but saw that the woman who was still actively walking towards him seemed to be frightened by him, and quickly took two steps back to control the distance between the two.
This can't help but make Xiao Yan a little surprised. Is he scaring others? No way?
"Um, this lady?"
"—What's wrong with you?"
Nalan Yanran looked at him warily. After all, this was Black-Corner Region, a place where people could eat people without spitting out their bones. Even though she probably guessed that the other party was probably the person arranged by Yao Wan, Nalan Yanran was not at all wary.
Seeing the vigilant look on the woman in front of him, Xiao Yan couldn't help but hold his forehead slightly, it was broken, it seemed like this was really the case...
After a moment of silence, he thought about it and then said, "——Well, my name is... Yan Xiao. I am familiar with a girl who looks a bit like the lady. I am her friend. This time I came to Black-Corner Region at her invitation to complete the final trial."
"Is it possible that the young lady knows the girl I am familiar with? I wonder where she has gone?"
Xiao Yan said seriously. Although he probably believed Yao Lao's statement because of what Yao Lao said, he still had some distractions.
What?
Are you familiar with her?
Nalan Yanran was slightly startled, and then quickly judged the identity of the person in front of him from his words.
Who else is the young man she knows well? Isn't it just Xiao Yan?
If there is still an explanation for this, then the name the other party reported made Nalan Yanran want to laugh a little.
Yan Xiao? Isn't that Xiao Yan backwards?!
Nalan Yanran never dreamed that his second encounter with Xiao Yan would be like this.
They haven't seen each other for two years. They were still in their teenage years. Xiao Yan himself has changed a lot. With the mask covering his face, Nalan Yanran really didn't realize that it was him.
No wonder she thought it looked familiar but couldn't remember where she had seen it.
After being stunned for a moment, Nalan Yanran reacted and was ready to take off his disguise to expose him.
However, before she could speak, Yao Wan's instructions when she finally left rang in her mind again, causing her to stop doing so unconsciously.
"... We want to get along well?"
Get along well?
Get along well...
Even though Nalan Yanran's current character is much stronger than before, it still feels as uncomfortable as a punch on cotton.
It turns out that she was waiting here for her words.
Nalan Yanran sighed in his heart, he really lost to her... I thought this time would be more or less an exciting adventure between the two, but what happened.
It was indeed two people, and it would indeed be an exciting adventure, but it was different from what she had imagined at the beginning?!
What made her even more angry was that Yao Wan had already thought of this a long time ago, otherwise he wouldn't have said this at all when he threw her down.
So what to do now? Just for the sake of impulse, maybe I won't even be able to enjoy myself in the end. Not only will I get choked by Xiao Yan, but she might even blame me later.
Reluctantly curling his lips, Nalan Yanran crossed his arms, a touch of irritation filled the heroic Liu Yemei. Since he didn't intend to expose him now, he couldn't let Xiao Yan discover his flaws.
Therefore, she could only hurriedly look for countermeasures to deal with this guy temporarily.
But what should she say?
Nalan Yanran felt quite irritated and looked at Xiao Yan in silence for a while.
And when he saw the irritated look on the face of the girl in front of him, and the rather unkind look in his eyes, Xiao Yan had an ominous premonition in his heart for some reason.
How can I put it, this feeling is like trying to flirt with someone else's sister, only to be asked back and find out that you are the one who wants to hook up with my sister?
Although they didn't say it, Xiao Yan's thoughts inevitably became stronger.
"... Then what did you call her? Wan Guniang?"
After a moment of silence, the girl's question made Xiao Yan's heart skip a beat.
It's over...
This time I really met someone's family.
"I don't know what to call Miss..."
The embarrassed Xiao Yan could only quickly find a way to change the topic.
"...Qing Ran, just call me Qing Ran."
Nalan Yanran could only make up a name for the time being, then crossed his arms and said, "I was thrown here by her too."
"Before she left, she suddenly told me that we should get along well... but I didn't expect that it would be you."
"Cough cough cough cough——"
Xiao Yan coughed in embarrassment, and then looked away.
However, Nalan Yanran really didn't do anything to Xiao Yan. Seeing that he had been fooled for the time being, Nalan Yanran turned around and looked at the surrounding wilderness and said.
"Is there a secret realm here?"
"Well, if Miss Qing Ran is called here by Wan Guniang like me, then she probably means that we can explore this ruins left by our predecessors together."
Seeing that she didn't want to get involved in this interpersonal relationship, the embarrassment in Xiao Yan's heart eased a lot.
But he really never expected that Wan Guniang would turn around and pull out all his family members.
Nalan Yanran turned his head sideways, caught a glimpse of the piece of cloth in Xiao Yan's hand, and raised his eyebrows.
"Does this ruin have anything to do with you?"
"It's just a remnant of our predecessors."
Nalan Yanran remained silent. After a moment, she said, "In that case, if I go in this time, if there is anything inside, it is up to you to choose first."
Although she doesn't like Xiao Yan very much, Nalan Yanran is not that unreasonable. Since she is the relic of Xiao Yan's predecessor, she is embarrassed to fight for something in front of his descendants.
Xiao Yan nodded, and then followed the call from somewhere, using the piece of cloth in his hand as a guide, he found an inconspicuous cave.
The cave passage was narrow, allowing only one person to pass through. When they reached the deepest part of the cave, they saw a heavy stone door. After using the guidance in the piece of cloth to open it, everything suddenly became clear.
Behind the thick stone door is an underground cave. Extending from the surrounding cubic rock pillars, overhead is a huge mountain-like Blue Crystal, emitting a faint cold light that illuminates the originally dark cave.
