"Lan'er, don't be anxious. As the head of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, what matter in the pavilion do you not know?"

True Lord Suiyun shook his head and chuckled, "All the indulgences I showed her in the past were just to spare her life, to wait for the right time to use her as a tool to kill one person and kill one bird. I never expected her to be so audacious as to set her sights on you. Ha."

Using someone else to do your dirty work? As expected, you high-ranking people who love to play mind games are all filthy-hearted!

"How could this be? Then... wouldn't this mean I've disrupted Yi Xi's plans? Alas! A miscalculation, a miscalculation." Bai Lan rubbed her forehead, looking regretful.

She looked regretful, and in her heart she was also filled with remorse. So this was the person she had wanted to kill all along. Why was she bothering to put on this act? Why not just wait for Elder Yue to die?

The plan failed. It was a complete failure.

In that case, it's no wonder she implemented Plan B.

" Elder Fu, take action," Bai Lan whispered.

Elder Fu nodded slightly, Divinity Transformation Stage Divine Sense silently probed out in the next instant. His Divine Sense, stronger than that of Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator, began to modify the magic array that True Lord Suiyun had set up right under her nose.

"Then Lan'er has this Divine Restraining Curse on her body..." Bai Lan tentatively asked.

"If we want to remove this Divine Restraining Curse from your body, it will probably take a lot of effort." A smile flashed in the eyes of True Lord Suiyun: "You need to soak in the Lightning Pool for forty-nine days, and then have the master use his Divine Sense to whip you eighty-one times before this Divine Restraining Curse can be removed."

The atmosphere froze for a moment. Bai Lan remained silent for a long time, her expression strange. This person in front of her was truly someone with unusual fetishes!

Unfortunately, Bai Lan didn't have a fetish for being beaten; she clearly preferred beating others.

"Never mind then." Bai Lan bowed respectfully, then turned and left. "Since lifting the Divine Restraining Curse is so troublesome, then Lan'er will go and seek refuge with Elder Yue. Farewell!"

Seeing Bai Lan walk away swiftly, a look of surprise flashed True Lord Suiyun's eyes.

She just left like that? True Lord Suiyun was surprised, but she did not stop her. She was curious about how Bai Lan would remove the forbidden Divine Restraining Curse from her body.

No cultivator would want to have a time bomb like the Divine Restraining Curse on their body. Anyone would be anxious in this situation, but Bai Lan was not.

True Lord Suiyun assumed that Bai Lan's purpose in coming here was to ask him to remove the Divine Restraining Curse on her body, so he teased her a few times, but he didn't expect that she didn't care about this matter at all.

Thinking of this, True Lord Suiyun frowned slightly, his expression darkening. Could it be that Bai Lan had another Nascent Soul Late Stage as a backer besides himself?

Who is that person? First, we can rule out He Gui. Besides that, the only Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator in the cultivation world left is...

At the same time, Bai Lan, who had just stepped out of the palace, turned around and transmitted her voice to Elder Fu: " Elder Fu, the Divine Restraining Curse..."

"I know, I know, I've already erased it for you." Elder Fu said slowly, "You were right, there was indeed something fishy going on in that hall."

Bai Lan's eyes lit up. "Tell me in detail!"

"Indeed, a Six Harmonies Insight Array was set up inside that main hall before you arrived. The array is extremely profound and is a long-extinct lineage of the Yi Family. If you rashly activate this array, you will surely suffer a backlash. Only those who meet the following three conditions can activate the array: those who have not mastered the Dao of Arrays, those who have not reached the Nascent Soul stage, and those who have not mastered the Dao of Divination. And that Nascent Soul Late Stage stage Yi Pavilion Master happens to meet all three conditions."

Bai Lan nodded in understanding. This meant that True Lord Suiyun was very strong in the art of array formation, cultivation, and divination.

"This divination started the moment you stepped into the main hall. Clearly, your eyes are on you; the person she wants to divine is you."

Seeing that Bai Lan only nodded and did not speak, Elder Fu frowned. "You guessed right, this person has impure intentions towards you. Nascent Soul Cultivator are not easy to deal with. In my opinion, the best course of action is for you to leave this place quietly."

" Elder Fu, have you been by Long Aotian's side for too long? Why do you only advise people to run away when things happen? How did you manage to cultivate to the Nascent Divinity Transformation Stage with such a cowardly attitude?"

Elder Fu felt a lump in his throat.

Is it possible that he was once a passionate old soul who liked to encourage Long Aotian to go on adventures?

" Elder Fu, there's no need to worry. I have my own way of dealing with this person. So... how's the other important matter going?"

"Hmph, it's just modifying a few Formation Method Talismanic Script under the nose of a mere Nascent Soul brat. It's not difficult." After saying Elder Fu's tone was tinged with doubt, "It's just that I consider myself to have some knowledge of arrays, so I shouldn't be unable to understand a few runes. Yet, I still can't figure out what you meant by asking me to modify those strings of runes. I recognize each of those runes individually, but when put together... how strange."

Bai Lan curled her lips into a smile, glanced at the True Lord Suiyun was, and said in a light tone, "It has no special significance. It's just a surprise for Lord Yixi."
